Y., Aug. 14—The body of Andrew Carnegie; steel mag- nate and philanthropist, was laid to rest at 5.30 o'clock this afternoon on a hillside in histori: Sleepy Hollow cem- etery, overlooking the Hudson. Only twenty-one persons—members of the dead ironmaster's family and a few close friends—accompanied the body to Sleepy Hollow. Iuneral ser- vices were held at Shadow Brook, the Carnegie estate at Lenox, Mass., this morning. Immediately after the ser- vices the boGy was conveyed in an au-| tomobile icarse o Hillsdale, where it! was pluaced in a private car on the New York Cenural railroad for White Plains. Thence it was conveyed by automobile to Sieepy Hollow. Scores of villagers, with bared heads, lined the entrance to the cemetery as the cortege approached. but the gates had been closed a half hour earlier,t and were shut again as soon os the| cortege had passed inside, and none was permitted to enter. The brief interment service was con- ducted by Rev. Dr. William G. Merrill, pastor of the Brick Presbyterian church, New York. A large crowd had gathered at the! ‘Lite Plains stauion to pay tribute to the mun whose i enefactions had nrade THEATRICAL MANAGERS REFUSE MEDIATION OFFER New York.

We will never recognize the Actors' Equity Assoglation.” The strikers’ response to the offer. ; mediation. made through Frank Gillmore, secretary of the Iquity As- sociation, was a statement that the assocfation ed for recognition as the representative of the actors and that all coatracts be made on the Equity plan.

Aug. 14 —President Wilson’s offer to talk over the peace treaty with tne senate foreign rela- tions committee finally was accepted today. At the suggestion of republi- can members and by a virtually un- animous vote, the committee decided to inform the president it would be glad to meet him at his convenience to go over disputed points in the treaty and the League of Nations covenant. At the same time the com- mittee voted to call additional wit- nesses and continue its hearings. Fresident Wilon, replving tonight to Senator Lodge's request for an ap- pointment with the committee. set Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. The preeident stated that it was his pre- ference that the {ullest publicity be given the conference so that the peo- ple of the country might be put in possession of all the information he has about the treaty. The committee in its accentarice of the president’s offer stipulated that it wanted no ban of secrecy on the discussion. The president chose the ‘“'hlle House as the place of meet- ng. 4 ¥ out of .4 general discussion whether the committce should com- linue its ncarings or proceed to act on the fact: already befdre it. Sena- tor Johnson, republican, California, is! understood first tc nave mentioned the | president as a witness, but the for- ! mal suggestion that the committee meet him was made by Senator Loage. Democratic members, seconding the suggestion, pointed. out hat the committee had been told in its hearings that only the president could reveal certain features of :he peaée negotiations. and declared that Mr. Wilson's informal offer to receive the members at the White House re- mained open. In deciding to call additional wit- nesses, the committee reversed its de- cision reached yesterday to speed ac- tion on the treaty. It was voted to recuest appearance of five persons, advisers at Versailles who resigned, it has been reported, because they disagreed with decision of the com- ference regardinz Shantung and Rus- sia. They are E. T. Williams, S. K. Hornbeck and William C. Bullitt. The others summoned are John C. Fergu- son and Thomas F. Millard, suggest- ed as authorities on Far Eastern af- fairs.

Some of the witnesses summoned are understoed to be abroad, and some their appearance would make a report on the treaty im- possible for several weeks. Ine that connection it was intimated at the White House that Senator Hitchcock acted with the backing of the pres- ident vesterday when he told the com- mittee that unless there was some prospect of a report soon independent action might develop on the senate floor. COLUMBIA GRAPHOPHONE CO. . THREATENS TO MOVE PLANT Bridgeport, Conn.. Aux. 14 —Strikers at the Columbia Graphophone com- pany in this city said tonight they will refuse to return to work tomorrow despite the threat of the company that unless they do so the company will move its plants to another city.

Davies Warfleld of Balti- more, under which the government, in the reorganizaiion of:railroads, would provide a minimim return of six per cent on invested capital, with division of all surplus over that amount among employes, the public and the earning road, was outlined today to the house interstate committee. Luther M. Walter, of Chicago, gen- eral_counsel for the National Associa- tion' to Owners of Railroad Securities, which sopnsors the plan; discussed its various points with the committee at a five hour session and declared it could be put into effect at once, or cer- tainly with the return of the roads to private control at the end of the yvear. The vight of labor to share in the wrofits of the road was laid down by Mr. Walter as one of the funamentals of the plan. 2 In the general exchange of views on the present day transportation situa- tion, Mr. Walter declared the roads would have been more successfully managed for war purposes under pri- vate control. The Warfield plan would have the Interstate Commerce Commission fix rates on a basis which, after paying the cost of operation, would net the minimum return of six per cent. Dis- cussing this provision, Chairman Esch, who for six months has been making a detailed study of the proplem. wanted to know if this congress enacted a law making the- return six per cent whether another congress might not increase or reduce it. Mr. Walter thought not.

Washington, Aug. ‘14—The first definite move toward the long-expect- ed change in policy in dealing with Mexico was disclosed today. Carranza has been warned that if the murders and outrages of Ameri- cans continue, the United States “may be forced to adopt a radical change in its policy with regard to Mexico. With the announcement at the state department, however, came no au- thoritative indication of how far the American government is preparing to 80 to enforce what lacks only the diplomatic techmicalities of an ulti- matum. The government announced its ac- tion by publishing an exchange of notes with Mexico City and prefaced | its official statement with the expla- nation that the diplomatic representa- tions referred to had been taken “in view of the long series of murders and outrages of American citizens in Mex- ico, culminating in the .murder of Peter Catron in San Luis Potosi last month, and the perpetuation of other acts in disregard of American lives and property.” The following note. the state depart- ment announced, was presented to the Mexican zovernment by Charge Sum- merlin of the American embassy. It 29, follow: exico City, July 22, 1919. “Sir: With reference to ehe emb sy's note, dated July 16, 1919, relative to the murder of Peter Catron. near Valles, San Luls Potosi. on or about July 7th last, 1 have the honor to in- form you that I am now under tele- graphic instructions from my govern- ment to urge upon the Mexican gov- ernment the capture and punishment of those responsible for this murder, and the adoption of adequate measures to prevent a recurrence of the murder of American citizens. “I am also instructed to state that should the lives of American citizens continue to remain unsafe and these murders continue by reason of the un- willingness or inability of the Mexican government to afford adeauate protec- tion. my government may be forced to adopt a radical change in its policy with regard to Mexico. ‘Accept, sir, the renewed assurances o my highest consideration. “GEORGE T.

Referring to robberies of paymasters of oil com- panies, the Mexican government de- clared the oil comipanies had declifed guards for. _ihem, either on the grounds jhat the presence of guards invited ‘aftacks by bandits or that the guards misbehaved. Both assertions, the Mexican government's note de- clared, are unfounded. The Mexican government. the note further said, has offered to reimburse the robbed per- sons of moneys lost. The communication to Mexico is couched in probably the strongest lan- guage used in any from this govern- ment_since the exchanges preceding the Vera Cruz occupation.

The flood of bullion, he said. came before the war, sent over to meet pur- chases by belligerent powers in the Tnited States. With the first appear- ance of the golden invader, he said, prices began to leap skyward, even prices on articles wholly unprelated to the war The result of the gold importation has been a depreciation of the Ameri- can dollar, so far as its purchasing power was concerned, Professor Fish- er asserted. - The remedy is easy, the witness de- clared. Stabilization of the dollar by regulation of the price of gold in ac- cordance with price fluctuations was rstem possible, he said, through the of dollar values worked out by gov- ernment economists. Applying his theory of gald infla- tion to the case of the trolley lines, Professor Fisher said the basic trouble was that the fixed rates of fare no longer were adequate to meet expenses since the purchasing power of the nickel was but one third of what it was when most of the five cent rates were fixed. Obviously, he said, the logical thing to ment the present em- ergency appeared to be to raise fares; but in that would be hnplied equaliza- tion to the new price levels of all other fixed charges such as interest rates, salaries and all similar contract agreements that were fixed in terms of “big’ dollars, before the gold infla- tion, and should not now be met with depreciated “Tittle dollar: EFFORT TO SETTLE STRIKE IN NAUGATUCK FACTORY Naugatuck, Conn., Aug. 14.—Borough officials are to take action to bring about a settlement of the strike of the 3,60 factory workers who threw aside their work and joined in a gen- eral walkout at the U.

Curtin an- nounced tonight that he will confer with factory officials tomorrow as the first step in getting together the manu- facturers and strike leaders. Over 100 more workers left the plants today. Unconfirmed rumors say that the employes of the Dunham Mills, Inc. may also join the strike.
