g MINER-OPERATR ~ PARLEY DELAYED Reply to Union Demands for New Wage Scale Will Be Made on Monday. Dy the Associated Press. ATLANTIC CIT joint session of anthracite operators and miners today, at which the em- plovers were to have made their reply to the workers' demands, has been postponed until Monday afternoon, The postponement was asked by the operators because of the inability of stenographers to transcribe in time their notes of yesterday's proceedings, when the representative of the miners took more than three hours to explain the demands. The operators desired a complete transcript in order to frame their reply. The stenographers worked nearly all night, and when it was found they suld not complete their work Inter- national President John L. Lewis and other mine leaders agreed to the post- ponement. g All the operators and miners will remain here, the operators busying themselves with the work of framing their answer. Expect Refusal. The miners look for a refusal of their demands with a request from the operators for the appointment of 4 subcommittee to work out an agree- ent. This probably will mean long- drawn-out negotiations. miners believe. The operators last night heard the demands and arguments made by the officers of the United Mine Workers. John L. Lewis, international presi- dent of the miners union, made a long speech in which he drew the attention of the operators to Presi- dent Harding’s announcement —that the steel industry expected to abolish the twelve-hour day. The miners demand a 20 per cent increase in contract rates. a $2 in- crease for men paid by the da eight-hour day and the check-off system of union dyes. 800 ON KANN’S OUTING TODAY AT GLEN ECHO Store Employes and Families Have Program of Entertainment and Athletics.

JAIL 70 KLANSMEN MASKED AT FUNERAL Ohio Ruling That More Than Three in Robes Constitutes Disorder- ly Conduct, Invoked. s. B the Associated P'ress SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, July 7.—W. H. Cortner, kleagle of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, and sixty-nine other members of the local Klan, many of them prominent business men, were ar- rested by a squad of police yesterday afternoon as they left Ferncliff ceme- tery, following funeral services at the srave of a brother klansman. Arrests ‘were ordered by Sergt. Thomas Norton, acting chief in the absence of Police Chief Richard O'Brien, who is on his Vvacation, Arrests were made under the recent ruling of Police Judge Golden C. Davis that three or more persons ap- pearing on the streets masked would conatitute disorderly conduct. Davis made his ruling at the time he handed down his decision in the case of Cortner, several weeks ago, when he way acquitted of a charge of riot- ous conspirac A crowd of 500 assembled in front of the jail within a few minutes after the robed klansmen marched through the main entrance. There was no dis- order, Ithough the klansmen were heered by the crowd. Attorney W. H. Anderson, counsel for the Klan, obtained the relcase from jail early last night of the ar- rested klansmen. Anderson deposited cash bail of $15 for each man. All were to be arraigned today SEIZE 13 PORCH CHAIRS. Police Charge Worthy ‘Snowden, Colored. With Theft.

You must be worthy to follow such Americans as they were. Not since the war has Camp Meade seen a review comparable to the one that passed in review before Gen Gouraud. Brig. Gen. Harold B. Fiske, Lieut. Count de Vibraye and Brig. Gen. Henry J. Reilly, who formerly commanded a brigade of the Rain- bow Division, under Ben. Gouraud. More than 6,000 men were in the pro- cession, including the 12th and 34th Infantry, & troop of the 6th Cavalry from Fort Meyer. a company of the 1st Engineers and the ~entire 6th United States Field Artillery. All of the units were composed of 90 per cent of citizen and Reserve Corps men. the regulars being only those detailed to the camp as in- structors. The supply trains of each regiment brought up the rear. com- pleting_a full war strength brigade. After the review had passed the ar- tillery passed the reviewing stand once again at a trot and the cavalry dashed by in full gallop. Compliment by Regulars. Without exception. the regular of- ficers present complimented the men upon_their fine appearances. They marched _with the precision ~and straight_formations of regulars. Gen. Gouraud was especially inter- ested in the 6th Field Artillery, which made a record for itself in France and one of America’s premier out- fits. It was a sergeant in Battery C of that regiment who fired the first shot after America's entry. “I should like to meet him if he is here,” Gen. Gourard said. An orderly was diepatched for the sergeant, but returned with the in- formation that he had been granted an honorable discharge only thirty days previously. After the review and address Gen. Gourard insisted upon mingling with the men and later expressed surprise at their fine physiques for such young boys. From Camp Meade the party hurried to Baltimore, where it was received by the Governor of Maryland and the mayor of the city. After lunch- eon it will return to this section to look over the Tank Corps school. GEN. GOURAUD REVIEWS MARINES HE DIRECTED IN CHAMPAGNE CONFLICT Gen. Eugene Gouraud's review of the marine brigade at Quantico yes. terday afternoon seemed more like a reunion of three old friends who had learned to love pne another as com- rades in arms than a pompous mili- tary ceremony in honor of a distin- guished foreign guest. It was the 5th_and 6th Regiments of United States Marines, which form the main body of the Quantico ex- { peditionary force, that had served junder the famous French strategist |in his offensive before Champagne, jand he kissed their colors long and fervently as a mark of his unforgot- ten love. It Gen. Gouraud learned to honor the marines as men of war long vears ago, 50 he learned to salute them as men of peace yesterday. His eyes shining with pure pleasure, his whole frame quivering with emotion, he hailed them one and all in a pub- lic address after the review as “sol- diers, tried and true"—the highest compliment a fighting general who had been wounded eight times could Pay a body of fighting men. Appenrance Changed. The last time Gen. Gouraud saw the United States marines they wore their field uniforms of olive drab: yes- terday they looked their best in smart blue coats, immaculate white trousers, white belts and white hats. And their fine appearance and demon- stration won for themselves and their commander, Brig. Gen. Smedley D. Butler, the compliments of the high. est officers in_both the Army. and Navy, besides Maj. Gen. Lejeune and Secretary Denby. Gen. Gouraud 'landed at Quantico from the President'’s vacht, May- | flower. just at 1 o'clock, amid the { booming salute of a battery of French 758, From the dock to the lunch tables, a disthnce of n y two miles, the marines stood with rifies at present on either side of the road. On the pler Gen. Butler and his en- tire staff greeted their visitors per- sonally. One of the first things Gen. Gouraud learned about the marines in peace- time was that their officers—even thelr generals—are workers. When a detachment experienced some diffi- culty getting the gangplank placed properly Gen. Butler walked over and quietly gave his men a° hand. There was no sign of impatience in his manner. only one of wishing to help untangle s situstion for which no one could be blaméd. And Gen. Gouraud seemed pleased to the point of applasuding. Luncheon on Grounds. Gen. Gouraud and his escort of dis- tinguished government officers and Army and Navy officers were taken first to a glen on the outskirts of the The address was | sent to the sovereign head or prin-| of their sons in the bellef that their | Principles. civilization is entitled to every oppor- tunity to free itself from its present predicament.

Everything had been arranged for their comfort, including electric fans attached to the trees to supply plenty of breege should nature fail After luncheon the visitors were escorted through the immaculate marine-built camp. One of the fea- {tures that struck Gen. Gouraud's fancy more than any other was that of placing the names of the men who had fallen in battle above their former bunks. He especially asked to be conducted to the barracks of the 1§th Company of the 5th Regi- {ment, which had suffered cruel cas- {ualties during his Champagne driv | But the treat of the day—the re- view--was still in store. The French tri-color swung in the breeze beside the marine headquarters colors in the reviewing stand. Their lines straight as an_engineer'’s plumb, the Devil Dogs presented a striking appearance In their dress uniforms. Gen. Gou raud scrutinized the men carefully l‘;;ere walked up and down the Kinses Emblems. Arriving at the regimental stand- ards he halted and carefully ex- amined their many battle rings. Both had been decorated with the croix de guerre and each bore the insignia designating their participation in at least five major conflicts. Gently the French generalissimo raised each flag to his lips and kissed it adieu as he was about to depart Upon returning to the review stand. Gen. Gouraud requested. that the men be permitted to gather close and called for his interpreter. Speak- ing in French. he first complimented the marines upon their splendid phy- slques, fine performance and immac- ulate uniforms. He then briefly re- hearsed the history of the Marine Corps_and highly complimented it upon its splendid traditions. “I have never forgotten m with the marines in France e said, “and neither shgll 1 ever for. get this day with vou at Quantico, ¥rance has Immortailzed the name of the United States Marine Corps by glving Belleau Wood the name .of the Wood of the United States Ma rines.

Secretary Denby furnished the ma- rines with the opportunity to return their own thanks when he stepped farward and called upon the men to 1 join him in three rousing cheers for the general. And they responded T days with cheers that found echoes deep in the Virginia hills. Escorted again by Gen. Butler and his staff, the visitors returned to the Mayflower and began their trip back to Wash- ington. i he .day was almast marked wit a bad accident, when Lieut. L. A Kittrick, flying a scout airplane over the harbor just before the Mayflower hove in sight, fell several hundred feet. He was en route to escort the vessel and her passengers to the dock. Lieut. Kittrick escaped with- out injuries and the plane appeared to be only slightly damaged. JOHN D.

As a result of, the campaign Mr. Votaw said that' thousands of pris oners were now experiencing great difficulty in obtlining even small quantities of narcotics. A _strict guard is maintained in all federal penal institutions, especially in Atlanta penitentiary, where traffic was found in a flourisiing stage when the investigation began. Each incoming prisoner is now sulbjected to a search- ing examination, and is not permitted to enter until he purchases a new pair of shoes. ficials explained, .that many of the convicts when ariving at the penal institutions had secreted in ths heels and soles of their shoes large quan- | tities of drugs. Conntvances are Revealed. Connivance between the prisoners and some guards and trusties was dis- covered in a few institutions, it was revealed, and in some instances the guilty guards were discharged or ar- rested and indicted. So thorough has the Investigation been, it was said that the prisons mow are claimed to | be almost entirely free of that ele- ment of connivance which made pos sible the importation ef drugs. Among the clever tricks evolved by drug addicts whose natures cried out for their narcotics, were means of smuggling through handkerchiefs, kisses, baby napkins, shoe heels, clothing, mouths and Jetters. The handkerchief ruse was con- sidered among the most unusual and dffficult of detection. It was found that occasionally a_prisoner would receive several ordinary hanqk: chiefs, which appeared to be new and harmless.
