Cox, former democratic candidate for president They welcome, his suggestion that| Herhert Hoover represent the United | States in tackling the reparations| problem. | “Such a problem from the man who is usually regarded as the leader of the democratic party,” says the| Times, “shows a real desire to come | to the assistance of Furope regardless| of the smaller considerations of do mestic polities. It is an emergency scheme to meet an emergency. We trust it may strengthen the wiser counsels of Europe before they are too late.” The Westminster Gazette assumes that Mr. Cox is committed to his viewpoint by the fact that “‘the man- tle of Wilson descended upon him at the last election.” The Daily Chronicle thinks that “if the great weight of America as rep- resented by Hoover were thrown on the side of the sound policy of repara- tions it would have the double effect and helping reconcile her creditors to the only scheme which the world fi- nanciers would back."” ADMITTED WRECKING TRAIN | One of Four Men, Held for Gary, Ind., Drawn Spikes From Ties.

Marion, Ill, Aug. 28.—(By Asso- ciated Press.)—More than two months after 26 non-union workers at the Lester strip mine were killed in what has come to be known as the | “Herrin massacre,” an official inqui- sition was started today. The 26 lost their lives in separate attacks June 21 and June 22, the greater number the second day, when they were herd- ed from the pit and according to eye- witnesses brutally shot, beaten and cut to death. That the investigation would be fair and far-reaching was indicated by the announcement of Edward J.| Brundage, Illinois attorney general, that neither miner nor coal operators had been put on the specially called grand jury. Mr. Brundage has been assisted in the preliminary work by C. W. Mid- | dlekauff, rep enting the rederal department of ‘justice.

Ward is living with his family in New Rochelle, having been released on $60,000 bail. “The trial will be brought on when I am ready. I have the whip hand and no one can force me to go to trial until I decide to do so,” said Fred- erick E. Weeks, district attorney, at ‘White Plains yesterday. ‘““Are there any new developments in the case?” Mr. Weeks was asked, He replied, “No, I am not giving any more information to the press. They got too much when the grand jury was investigating. You can just say that I have nothing to say.” ‘‘Are the detectives still on the trail of the blackmailers Ward named?” “I am not talking about the Ward case any more,’” Mr. Weeks replied. It is the general opinion in West- chester county now that Ward will never be tried. It is expected that as soon as ex-Justice Isaac N.
