~ T0 ENFORGE Wilson Have Been Summoned to forcement Measures—The Allied Chiefs Meet at the Foreign Secretary Says the Allies Can Occupy the Ruhr or Other Territories, That the Germans are Not in a Po- sition to Resist. Spa, Belgium, July 13—(By The A P.) A deadlock has been reached by the allied representatives and the Ger- mans on the coal question, and Marshal Foeh and Field Marshal Wilson, the al- lied military chiefs, have again been summoned to discu: possible enforce- ment measures. The ailied premiers, having been in- formed that the Germans were ready, called a meeting for 5.30 o'clock this evening, instead of tomorrow as plan- ned this morning. The German reply was not acceptabl® and the summoning of Marshal Foch and Field Marshal Wil- son, it is understood, means immediate measures to enforce the treaty unless Germany modifies her attitude. The German foreign secretary said to The Associated Press: “The allies may, under the treaty give us an order concerning coal. If they give an order, we, of course, Would try to satisfy it but we do not belleve we tould. That would not be a voluntary cooperative arrangement.” Dr. Simons said: “The allies can oc- cupy the Ruhr or other territories. They can send their own'agents into Germany and probe the situation. They may fix any penalties; we are net in a position to The secretary expressed the attitude of the German delegation as it is tonight, but the allied ministers hope, before they take further measures, that the Germlnsl change their decision. m!ylrshalsi‘nch will leave Paris tonight, arriving at Spa tomorrow morning. Field Marshal Wilson is scarcely expected to reach here from England before tomor- row afterncon or evening. .The supreme couneil will meet immedlately after their arrival, the German delegation remain- ing here meanwhile. The German delegates after the morn- ting of the reparations commis- ‘:!::n Tehen asked to amplity their propo- sal, sent a letter to Premier Delacroix saying that it would be impossible for them to be definite in their proposals un- il the coal question was settled. It ap- pears that it is not so much a question »f mining coal in a quantity sufficient to give 306,000 tons monthly more than Germany offers, but rather the difficul- ties of the German government in financ- ing the delivery out of their budget Dr. Simons said late tonight that the had nothing to add to their coal proposition. He . regretted exceedingly e position taken by the allies and said that the Germans must simply await fur- ther action. M. Millerand, the French premier, re- grets that it ia not possible for Germany to cooperate with the allies in the execu- tion of the treaty, but he is firmly re- solved to stand on the position now tak- *" premier Lioyd Ceorge had mno com- make. me’!‘"’:awk\lh! will he surrounded rather than occupied If enforcement is under- taken, according to an opinion in well- informed circles. GERMAN DELEGATION HAS COMPLAINED OF AGGRESSIONS Spa, July 13.—Some of the mer“ors of the German delegation have com- plained to Chancellor Fahrenbach of ag- gressions of which they claim to have been the victims since their arrival at Spa. One journalist attached to the Ger- man delegation came to blows with a formed Belgian officer- whose house he occupied at Spa during the war. According to these claims, last eve- ning as the Germans were seated in a cafe the orchestra struck up the Brit- ish national anthem. When the Ger- mans began singing in their native ton- gue a Belgian civilian took offense and ordered them out. They refused to leave but_were finally ejected after a sharp scuffie in which the same journalist re- the nose with a.cane. The Belgian civi®an ran out of the cafe just as Herr Von Eckhardt editor of the Hamburg Fremdenblatt, and Herr Stoklossa, correspondent of the Wolft were passing. Recognizing them, ilian struck Stoklossa in the face with his cane, injuring the Gcorrespond- ent so severely he was confined to bed today. It is understood the German del- egation will make repreEentations to the Belgian authorities regarding the affair. ALLIED CHIEFS TO EXAMINE THE SITUATION TODAY Paris, July 13.—The allied chiefs will meet at Spa at 11.30 Wednesday morn- ing to examine the situation according to a Havas despatch.

The German experts held another con- ference which lasted until midnight. Chancellor Fehrenbach ® also conferred with the members of his cabinet.

Washington, July 13.—The interstate commerce commjss'zn today extended for thirty days the’: §"ice order providing Dreferential distribution of coal cars to mines east of the Mississippl. The order would have expired July 21.

NOT TO ADMIT EXHIBITS OFFERED BY MINE WORKERS Scranton, Pa., July 13.—Admitting the public interest in the question of monop- olistic control and profiteering and their vital importance to public welfare, the anthracite mine commission ruled today that it was without jurisdiction fo admit exhibits offered by the mine workers tend- ing to prove charges that the anthracite industry was being exploited at the ex- Dense of the employes and the public. After detailing the manner in which the commission was named and the pow- ers given it, the decision says: “The commission is of the opinin and now rules that the seven exhibits pur- the | porting to set out the relation between | mander, a: wages and wholesale and retail prices; the situation as to freight rates; the op- eration and financing of anthracite rail- roads and other exhibits, are not germane to the matters in dispute and the issues before this commission as outlined and defined by the eighteen demands. The commission fully recognizes the public in- terest in|these questions and their vital importance to the public welfare. - The commission, however, recognizes the lim- its of its own authority. and therefore rules that these exgibits to which objec- tion has been raised offer no contribution to the solution of the issues pending and will not be admitted as part of the evi- dence in the case™ Following the decision, District Presi- dents John T. Dempsey and Thomas Ken- nedy of the miners’ union presented ad- ditional evidence relative to wage rates of mine workers and increased cost of living in the anthracite field. Then came the answer of the operators in which they declared their opposition to practically every demand of the mine workers, including those for increased wages and the closed shop. GIEL FRIENDS OF MRS. W. G. HARDING ENTHUSIASTIC Marion, Ohio, July 13,—Many women of Marion, giglhood . intances, | triends or cliums of° Mfs Warren G.1 Harding, wife of the Tepublican nomines for the presidency, are enthusiastic over the possibility that she may preside at the White House. They say she is well fitted for the duties of a president's wife because ‘she has a mind of her own,) generally manages to get what she wants, is thoroughly democratic, likes to give and to go to parties, is interested in a hundred and one things, knows how to talk to every onme including men and once she knows you always knows you.” Some Marion residents say that Mrs. Harding has contributed in important ways to Mr. Harding’s success in life. Mrs. Harding was born here, Auguat 15, 1860, and was reared in this city where she attended grammar and high schools. Afterwards she studied music at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. As Florence Kling. daughter of Amos Kling, banker and one of the most weal- thy men in Marion. she is described by a girlhood friend, Mrs. Margaret Youn- kins, as ‘one of the best horse-women 1 have ever seen. “She rode and drove more like a man than a girl,” said Mrs. Younkins, who sazid she was more ac- customed in those days to seeing Florence Kling dashing swiftly up the street on Billy, her saddle horse, than walking with the other girls of her social cir- cle. Other girlhood friends of Mrs. Hard- ing told of the -times when- they used to “pile into Florence's phaeton and fide with perfect confidence behind her speedy Billy.” Florence Kling was married to War- ren G. Harding, then as now mewspaper publisher, on July 8, 1891 in their pres- ent home in Mount Vernon avenue, Ma- rion. For more than 12 years, until iliness prevented, Mrs. Harding was circulation manager of the Star, her hus- band's newspaper. In addition she was the registration bureau for complaints, advertising manager and angel to the newsboys. ‘When Mrs. Harding returns to Marion and meets any of the boys who carried papers for Senator Harding when she Wwas circulation manager, she pats them on the back, it is said, and remarks: “Here is one of my boys—he will be fa- mous some day.” Mrs. Harding has been a member o “The Twigs,” a card club of Marion, for many years. MILITARY OBLIGATIONS OF | FOREIGN-RESIDENT JAPS ‘Washington, July 13.—Japanese in the United States and Hawaii are said in of- ficial despatches here today to be mak- ing vigirous protest against the appli- cation of recently promulgated laws rel- ative to military obligations of foreign- resident Japanese.

REMOVAL OF BARRICADES ON ROADS LEADING TO DUBLIN Dublin, July 13.—Barricades on roads leading to Dublin which were erected last week, all were removed during the past night.

M. Until 9:30 A. M. Todey—Platform and Nominations Will be the Order of Business Today. Chicago, July 13.—teaders of the new party, born today, were striving desper- ately tonight to silidify the strength of the minor groups. from which it came, in- to a unified political power. Early moments of the new party’s life were fraught with menacing situations. The joint chairmen of the Labor party and the committee of 48 battled for hours to keep the jealousies and distrusts of the rival groups submerged and the road open for the transaction of business. Several times in the long drawn out Session in the afternoon a break appear- ed not far away. Peacemakers were call- ed to the platform several times and by their appeals to the common aims of the delegates staved off, at least temorari- ly, the movement toward a break. While the convention argued ove; the recognition extended its various elements under the amalgamation, the platform committee completed a draft of nine planks. Accordinz’ to members of the platform committee, the pet platform desire of several groups have been ignor- ed in the drafe. After several hours’ debate the convention recessed until eight CANADIAN POLICE MYSTIFIED BY DISAPPEARANCE OF TWO MEN Toronto, July 13.—The double dis- appearance of Ambrose J. Smail, m licnaire theatrical man of this city, and his secretavy, John Doughty, botk weli known citizens of Toronto, h been one of the most mystifying cases with which the Canadian police havc had to deal. Small has been inissing sinee Dec. 2 and Doughty since Decem- ber 28, last. 7 The whole continent of America has been a field of search by detectives for trace of the missing men, and circuiars describing Mr. Small and offering re- wards for the recovery of him, dead or alive, have been sent to almost every country in the civilized world. Mr. Small had just put through a deal for the sale of his interests in a string of theatres in Canada at $1,750,- 000 to a syndicate known as Trans- Canada Theatres, Limited, and a few hours before his disappearance, oi De- cember 2, he had received a checx for $1,000,000 in connection with the sale. This check he deposited in his bank. On that day he had had lunch with his wife downtown and he had promised her to be home to dinner in the évening. e had attended to some business lai2 at afternoon and about 7 o'clogk started for home, so far as is known. ‘The last person known to have secn him was his favorite newsboy, from whom Mr, Small bought the evening papers. The fact that Mr. Small was missing was not made public until three or four weeks had elapsed. In the first week in January the first circulars ask- ing ror information as to M: Small's Wwhereabouts were sent out by the local police authorities, and a reward of $500 was offered. A short time afterward the reward was increased to $5,009. Then on the first of June a reward of $50,- 000 was offered, by Mrs. Small for in- formation regarding Mr. Small’'s whare- abouts, if alive, and $15,000 for the ré- covery of his body if dead. The mystery of Mr. Small's absence was accentuated by the disappearance of John Doughty, who had been his pri- vate secretary for many years. Dougnty has not been seen or heard from. so far as the authorities are aware, since De- cember 8, 1919. In June, 1920, the dis- covery was made that $150,000 of Vic- tory bonds were missing from the safe- ty deposit vault where they had been placed by Mr. Small, and it was stated that Doughty had access to the vault. Thereupon circulars were issued offer- ing $5,000 reward for the arrest of John i Doughty on a charge of having abduct- ed Ambrose' Small, and $5,000 for Doughty’s arrest on a charge of having stolen the missing Victory bonds.
