Since the scouts have been keeping tab on the arrival of the trains at the Union station strike leaders claim that the terminal officials have discon- tinued the practice of putting figures on the bulletin board announcing the “expected to arrive” hour. Whenever the trains are on time the strike leaders pointed out that the informa- tion is printed on the bulletin board. | WEEK MAY END THE RAIL STRIKE (Contin train §:30 o'el raflroad due at d from First Page.) lists, asserting that if their rights were not thus recognized there would be no Incentive for men to stay at work in the event of a strike in the future. Also iIncluded in the President's plan, it is understood, was elimina- tion of outside contract repair work by the railroads. This would mean that each raiiroad would do its own | take a repair work in its own shops. Another demand of the strikers was tncluded in the settlement plan. This related to the setting of national and regional adjustment boards to expe- dite the adjustment of disputes be- tween workers and employers. The wage question would be left to the labor board, the striking shop- men to recognize the board's wage re- duction decision and return to work with the assurance that their case would receive prompt attettion by the board. In addition the adminis- tration is understood to have as. sured the shopmen that it would make every effort to have labor sectlons of the Esch-Cummins bill amended so that the mbor board may be directed to fiX the pay of the workers on & “living wage” basis. While union chiefs and rail heads were presumed to be on the verge of making peace, violence was slightly increased in strike areas, reports indicated. Colored Laborers Misaing. Thirty colored laborers were sald to have disappeared from the Chicago and Northwestern shops at Milwaukee after a number of shots were fired in the vicinity. A non-union employe of the Wabash was beaten and another kidnaped at Chicago. Two workmen in railroad shops at Montgomery, Ala., were beaten by eight men alleged to be strikers. Al non-union shop worker at Rose- ville, Calif., was seized while walk- Ing with his wife. He was carried out of the town In an automobile, beaten and warned to stop work. A deputy federal marshal on guard at the Missour Pacific roundhouse at Jefferson City, Mo., .was slugged into unconscloueness by three men after he had been called from the building. A mob at Janesville, Wis., surround- ed a roundhouse of the Chicago, Mil- waukee and St. Paull where ten non- unfon men were at work, and com- pelled the men to run from the build- ing. Women and girls in the mob threw stones at the workers. Strikers Take Shops. Striking shopmen of the Mobile ana Ohio were said to have taken charge of the shops at West Point, Miss., and driven out new employes. At St. Louls two guards of the Missour! Pacific and a blacksmith of the Terminal railroad were stoned and beaten. Troops at Erie, Pa., were stationed about the homes of several men who remained at work following attacks in which the men's homes were stoned, A temporary injunction was granted to .the Great Northern to restraln strikers from interfering with trains or employes In Bioux Falls, Water- town, Huron, Aberdeen and Yank- ton, 8.

The case was referred to the probation officer for investigation. “I'll go back to either wife that the court directs,” Freshour sald, but Chiet Justice McCoy declined to make the selection, remarking that “Solomon has been dead for thousands of years.” As the first wife, however, has a nineteen- month-old child should Freshour be placed on probation, it is expected one of the terms will be that he re- turn to the first wife and care for the baby. The prisoner married Catherine Smith, sixteen years old, of Fred- erick, Md., in Baltimore, October 18, 1919." “Without getting a divorce from her, Freshour married Bertha L.

Ships Were Sep- arated From Convoy to Hampton Roads Base. BY the Assocluted Pree: LOS ANGELES, Calif, July 20.—All twelve of the submarines en route from Los Angeles to Hampton Roads, Va., under convoy of the tender Beaver, were said at the local sub- marine base to be accounted for this morning. Two of the submersibles are out of commission and are being towed, it was said, but no serious trouble is being experienced. Early reports to the effect that four of the submarines were missing grew out of the statement of Capt. Thomas W. Sheridan, master of the liner City of Honolulu, that he had sighted a badly smoking submarine off the lower California coast, below En- senada. Some degree of verification was added by a message received last night at the submarine base here from Commander Roy L. Stover, in command of the flotilla, stating he had eight submarines in convoy, but not mentioning the four reported miss- ing. The submarine base also inter- cepted & message from the Beaver to the L-§ ordering her to stand by to towline from the L-5. These two submersibles, together with the L-6 and L-7, were the ones reported missing. At 9 o'clock it wi id no information explaining the apparent disappearance of the four submarines had been received, but that efforts were being made to get in touch with the Beaver. Later, however, Capt. W. S. commanding officer at the submarina | base, denied that any serious accident had befallen the undersea flotilla. TOY PISTOL DRAWS FIRE OF POLICE; BOY MAY DIE July 29.—Harry Watson, fifteen years of age, tried to “bluff’ two policemen with pistol. The officers, believing the boys weapon genuine, fired upon him, | and Harry is in a hospital today near | death. Harry had escaped from the juv- enile detention home and the officers were ordered to arrest him. Locating him in a nearby alley they called upon him to surrender, but he drew the supposedly genuine pistol from his pocket and warned the patrolmen he was about to fire. The officers then shot into the air and the boy fled. As his pursuers gained upon him he stopped and again pointed his toy with a warning, whereupon he was shot in the shoulder. “I thought the bluff would work, but it didn’t,” he told the officers. Harry is alleged to have boasted that e was “the youngest criminal in Detroit” and that “no ‘bull’ would ever take me alfve The officers were absolved when it was shown that only by close scru- tiny could Harry's toy be dis- tinguished from a real pistol. DELAYS APPOINTMENT OF FREIGHT COMMITTEE Naming of the committee to make a survey of the incoming freight situa- tion in this city is being held in abey- ance by Brig. Gen. Anton Stephan, president of the Merchants' and Manu- facturers’ Assoclation, because of the absence from the city of certain mem- bers of the body whom he wishes to serve on the committee. It was pointed out that the com- mittee will be expected to prepare a scheme for the movement of freight into the city, in the event that the railroads fail on account of the strike condition, and, with this purpose in mind, it is the intention to put on the committee those members who are large receivers of freight The committee will not be announc- ed until each member selected by Gen. Stephan accepts the position. ACCUSED OF EMBEZZLING. Leroy Dewey Bolton, thirty years old, formerly employed at the Army and Navy Club, yesterday was indict- ed by the grand jury on a charge of embezzlement of $3,900 from the club, despite the fact that his sister, Mrs. George Thomas of Richmond, Va., has placed 32,000 in cash and notes for $1,900 in the hands of J. D. Maynes of the American Surety Company, his bondsman, covering the entire amount. Bolton walked into headquarters a few days gao and surrendered him- self to Detectives Waldron and Sweeney.

BELGIANS GIVE WARNING Bavarian Assassination Conspiracy Report Not Received From Berlin Police. By the Associated Press, PARIS, July 29.—All Paris was sur- prised this morning when it became known that Premier Poincare had slipped quietly out of the city by automobile for his country home in the Department of the Meuse early today. It had been announced last night that the premier had left by train for his week-end hollday. Elaborate precautions were taken at the rall- way station, whence he was supposed to have departed, and it was sald an engine had preceded the train to prevent a possible attemnt to wreck it. It was learned today, however, that a qui change had been made in the plans in order to avert any attempt on the premier’'s life, which might be made, in connection with the an- nouncement yesterday that a German monarchist plot to assassinate him was in existence. Original Plan Unchanged.

The reported plot is under- ood to be the work of the monarchist association, known as the *“Consul.” Sncouraged by its success in planning the removal of former German Minister of Finance Erzberger and former For- eign Minister Rathenau, the associa- tion, according to the report made to the 'French foreign office, decided to extend its scope bevond the German frontier and selected Premfer Polncare |as the first victim. First Berlin Report. At the time of the assassination of Dr. Rathenau a report Was current in Berlin that the next victim would be Dr. Joseph Wirth, the German chancellor, and the French premier, but no attention was paid to the re- port here at that time. The informa- tion which reached the French gov- ernment vesterday, It was made known today, was from the Belgian government, not through the Berlin | police, as was first stated. The ed plot had been worked out uch detall, both as to its org: on and the means the mon- archists intended to employ to ac- co h their end, according to the official report, that the French gov- ernment felt it could not safely dis- regard it. After considerable delibera- tion it was decided the best means of ! frustrating the attempt was to make { a public statement, which accordingly was ued yesterday. At the same time all necessary precautions have been taken for the protection of Pre- mier Poincare, and the German gov- ernment has been communicated with.

Special Dispatch to The Star, HARTFORD, Conn., July 29.—The democrats have made an earlier start in their campaign than have the re- publicans, but the start is not alto- gether an auspicious one, as sup- porters of former Representative Au- gustine Lonergan of Hartford, who aspires to the democratic nomination for the United States Senate, have questioned the ellgibility of his ex- pected competitor, former Assistant Attorney General Thomas J, Spellacy, also of Hartford. Mayor David E. Fitzgerald of New Haven, chairman of the democratic state central committee and prospec- tive candidate for governor, has rush- ed to the rescue of Spellacy. Mr. Spellacy, who has a law office in Hartford, has_been admitted to practice In New York state and has an office in New York city.

Cummings of Stam- ford, national committeeman from Connecticut, and former chairman of the national committee, who was Senator McLean's competitor in 1916, will not be a candidate this year.

DENTAL SERVICE CHIEF DECORATED FOR WAR SERVICES. 4 WORRYING FRANGE Parmentier Asks New In- structions in View of U. S. Attitude. BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. By Cable to The Btar and Chicago Dally News. Copyright, 1922, PARIS, July 29.—There is reliable information to the effect that the n gotiations In Washington between the French financial mission, headed by Jean Parmentier, and the United lS(ntex debt refunding commission are causing considerable embarrassment to the French government. When M. Parmentler went to the United States his instructions were negative. It was confldently expected here that on the demonstration of France's finan- cial difficulties the United States iwould not Insist on payment of the war debt. The results of the conference thus far seem to indicate otherwise. The attitude of the United States, as it is understood by officials here, is this: “We realize your dificulties, but can you not do a little something as an evidence of good falth In these circumstances M. Parmen- tler has been obliged to ask for new instructions. With the budget situa- tion already causing the utmbst pre- occupation, the Poincare ministry seems not to be able to determine just i what answer to make to the request to begin pavment of the debt to the United States.

The messages gave no details of the incident bevond those already report- ed in press dispatches HAVANA, Cuba, July 28—First news of the escape of Jova, who was acting consular agent in the absence of his father, was received by the Assoclated Press here over Cuban tel- ephone lines. The police cut off the connection and efforts to re-establish communication with Sague la Grande were unavailing. The report indi- cated, however, that Jova had not re- turned to his home at noon. Search for the bandits had been under way all night and early today, extending to caves near the scene of the kidnaping and into unexplored sec- tions of Santa Clara province. GERMANS GET 10-DAY DELAY ON DEBT DEMAND Allies Insist on Payment of War Accounts Full. By the Associated Press, PARIS, July 29.—Germany has been given ten days in which formally to accept the decision of the allied clear- ing offices in refusing to reduce the monthly payments made by the Ger- man government to the allies for debts contracted by German nationals with allied citizens prior to the war. Germany, in connection with her recent request for a meratorium, asked that this monthly instaliment of £2,000,000 be reduced to £500.000, because of the difficulty in purchasing the forelgn exchange nece€sary to make the payments. URGES PROBE OF WOOL in Caraway Resolution Follows News- paper Charge Regarding Vote on Tariff. Investigation of charges that cer- tain senators are interested finan- clally in the rates of duties proposed in particular schedules of the pend- ing tarift bill was proposed in a reso- lution introduced today by Senator Caraway, democrat, Arkansas. The inquiry would be conducted by the judiclary committee, which would be instructed to report to the Senate within ten days. Also the committee would inquire into charges that sen- ators, in the language of the resolu- tion, “are or were financially inter- ested in the passage or extension of the so-called emergency tariff. Senator Caraway caused to be read a recent editorial in a New York Rewspaper giving the names of the senators alleged to be interested In the sheep-raising and wool industry. He said it was his purpose to have tho committee on judiciary investi- gate this assertion and expressed the opinfon that it was unethical for sen- ators to have pecuniary and business interests which were directly affected by legislation which they were at the time considering. Senator Gooding of Idaho broke in with the suggestion that the inves- tigation might also cover the question of why Senator Caraway, a democrat, had voted for a high protective duty on rice,-an Arkansas industry. Senator Caraway retorted that neither himself nor any of his fam- fly was interested in the rice grow- ing industry, and if anybody asserted to the contrary, he was an unqualified and an unmitigated liar. Senator Burton of New Mexico good- humoredly said he had been classed among the alleged millionaire sena- tors, and he would like to have some- body demonstrate tHat fact, where- upon he would divide with the dis- coverer. Senator Oddie of Nevada took oc- casion to dlsclaim ownership of a single sheep, as did Senator Smoot of Utah, who sald he had sold all of h gheep during the Cleveland admini: Itration.

CONFER AT PHILADELPHIA. Central Competitive Presidents Meet International Officers. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, July 29.—District presidents of the central competitive fields, comprising western Pennsyl- vania, Ohio, Indiana and 1iI went into conference with the inter national officers of the United Mine Workers here today to consider strike cnoditions in those four states and the prospects of calling a four- state wage conference. Frank Farrington, president of the Illinois miners, said he had no formation that a four-state confer- ence was imminent except what he had seen in the newspapers. The Illi- nois leader, who has been at odds with International President John L. Lewls ower organization matters, said that he d seen from an announce- ment made by Mr. Lewis that a four- state conference had been fixed up without consultiny the Illinois min- ers, who represent one-quarter off the organization. All that needs to be done, he said he supposed, was to fix the time and place. President John Hessler of Indiana has replied to the request of the gov- ernor of Indiana that sufficient miners be permitted to work to produce coal for state institutions and public utile ities. Won't Meet “Repudiators.” Mr. Hessler in his reply said he regretted to learn that operators continue to repudiate their contract to meet in a four-state conference and wondered why such a policy 18 still pursued. He stated that Secre- tary Penna of the Indiana Coal Op- erators’ Association had repeatedly| admitted that such a policy was mistake. - ‘As_a loyal citizen, and loyal the mine workers also, 1 decli meet contract repudiators in stal conference,” he wired the EOVernos. Mr. Hessler also stated that he, would submit the governor's request to the Indiana district board on Mon- ~will bs held soon,” hs con+ wois, \
