I de- cline to have a senatoial oligarchy pre- pare my speeches—and make them as unresponsive and inanimate as a phono- graph record.” Governor Cox asked that Senator Harding be given a hearing “if the front porch embargo is lifted.” GOVERNMENT ECONOMY TOPIC FOR HARDING Marion, O., Aug. 25.—At the close of a speech here today Senator Harding turned to two visiting soldiers, both blind- ed in the Argonne, and solemnly made a public pledge that “there never shall be a substitute for the Stars and Stripes they last beheld.” The personal touch, Which brought a momentary hush over the gathering, and then was echoed in a roaring avalanche of cheers, followed a broader promise to the world that in its efforts for interna- tional concord America never would sur- render its nationality, and a suggestion that it would be betich: “to culitvate wait- ing opportunities in friendly soil of the new world than chase a phantom amid the envies and rivalries of the old.” In the speech the republican mominee also asked for governmental and individ- ual economy as the primary step to re- duce the cost of living, declared for a policy of federal maintenance of public highways, and appealed to the new wom- en vote not to segregate themselves in a new party based on sex prejudice. The democratic administration he accused of “premeditated” neglect in preparing for the great war and of tardiness in makKing provision for a return to a peace status. Departing from his prepared manu- seript, he aiso paid a tribute to Theodore Roosevelt and declared his conviction that “were he living, I would be speaking for him at this moment as your candidate for president.” The greater part of the speech, which wa sdelivered from the front porch to a delegation from Wyandot county, Ohio, was devoted to government economy. The republican congress, Semator Harding said, had saved nearly a billion dollars by paring down democratic appropriation Is, and thus had applied “the one ble remedy” toward a reduction in the cost of living. In espousing “Pan-American comity, much dreamed about, but so little real- " the nominec asserted that *nobody has a thought of American aloofness,™ or of any failure to make full contribu- tion to world progress. He promised that if elected he would ask congress' to make a maintenance provision a part of every federal highway appropriation. The admonition against a Separate Woman's party came as a digression from the nominee’s prepared speech after Ne had expressed gratification that women were to be enfranchised. “Whatever differences there ‘may have been over the granting of the right of suffrage to women,” he said, “there can be no question as to their fitness, either capacity, their patriotism, and their ear- nestness. 1 voted for the woman suf- frage amendment fo the constitution. 1 hope I may never regret it. There is only one thing that could make me regret it, and that would be to find the women of this country segregating themselves into parties because of the prejudice of sex.” propos SAYS WOMEN SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO FORM PARTY Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug. 25.—The women now lenfranchised by the ratifica- tion of the nineteenth amendment should join with the two great parties and should not attempt to form a party of their own, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National American Wom- an Suffrage association, declared today in a formal statement. PONZI'S FORMER MANAGER RETURNS $10,000 GIFT Boston, Mass., Aug. 25.—Robert De Masellis, who for two months acted as general manager for Charles Ponzi, vol- untarily offered today to turn over to the receivers of the Securities Exchange company a fund of $10,000 which Ponzi had placed in trust for him, Attorney General Allen announced tonight. He also made to the attorney general 2 compleet statement of his relations with the bankfupt financier. He protested ignorance of Ponzi's business methods. Ponzi turned over the keys of his nu- merous boxes in gafe deposit vaults to the receivers today, 'and they began taking an inventory of their contents in an ef- fort to uncover more of his assets. The total of notes held by depositors of Ponzi received at the attorney general's office to date amounts to $4,985,760. It is expect- ed that the receivers’ hearing will be re- sumed on Friday. GUNBOAT TO PROTECT T. 8. INTERESTS IN HONDURAS ‘Washington, Aug. 235 (By the A. P.). Announcement today that the gunboat Sacramento had been ordered to La Ceiba, Honduras, ready to protect Ameri- can interests if necessary, revealed that officials here have been watching with growing concern revolutionary movements developing in several Central American republics. Although the situation in each republic Is local, political unrest in Guatemala as well as in Honduras is known to be view- ed here as serious, interwoven as it seems to be in each country with the so-called unionist movement in all Central Ameri- can republics, said to have had its origin in Mexico during the presidency of Car- ranza and which contemplated a federa- tion of all Latin-American republics. COOLIDGE TO SPEAK IN MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE New York, Aug. 25—Two exceptions to Governor Caivin Coolidge’s rule of making no speeches outside Massachu- Setts were announced by the republican national committee here tonight.

His second address will be at a mass meeting at Manchester, N. H., the date being announced.

ABOUT EXPORTATION OF WOOD PULP FREOM CANADA New London, N. H., Aug. 25—Edward Beck, of Montreal, Secretary of the Ca- nadian Pulp and Paper Association, told a forestry conference here today that the question of removing restrictions upon the exportation of pulp wood from the crown lands of Canada to the United States was one for judicial determina- tion rather than for political agitation. The conference was held under the auspices of the Society for the Protec- tion of New Hampshire Forests and was attended by forestry experts and paper malkers from the United States and Can- ada. Mr. Beck was invited to present Canada’s side of the pulpwood contro- versy brought to notice by the passage in Congress of the Underwood resolu- tion calline -~ *~ ~rean commission . visit Canada with the view to obtain- ing the ciwus on pulps wood exports. Mr. Beck declared that Canada had no reason to .avoid inquiry into the equity of its timber laws by any im- partial tribunal. He sald it was not true that the present shortage of print- ing paper in the United States was chargeable to the Canadian timber reg- ulations but that it was due to world- T n Ao wide conditions, aggravated by the “in- ordinate use of paper by both Ameri- can and Canadian publishers.” He de- clared that free access to Canada's pulp- wood would not give American publish- ers cheaper or more abundant paper, as had been"claimed. Mr. Beck asserted that the Camadian pulpwood restrictions did not apply to privately-owned lands from which more than 1,000,000 cords of pulpwood were annually exported to the United States, In addition, he said, Canada exports nearly 600,000 tons of pulp and about 650,000 tons of paper 1o the United States every year. comprising approximately one-ninth of the American pulp con- sumption and one-third of all the news- print paper consumed in or exported from the United States. Restrictions on the exports of pulp- wood from the crown lands, he declared, were brought about solely by the desire to conserve the pulpwood resources and utilize their products for the up-building of the pulp and paper industries within the Canadian provinces and with no in- tent to inture A verican industries. “The real question at issue,” he said. not whetner Uiis materil -shall be available for the use of American pub lishers, but whether the material ecut from these lands shall go in the form of raw pulpwood to the United States or shall be put through at least one stage of manufacture is Canada." So for as Canada’s pulpwood is being cut a high percentage of it already was go- ing to the United States in one form or another. “Without a very _heavy in- cre‘;e in the rate of cutting,”involving th &rly dstractin of tha supply, o re- fief to American publishers from this means would be Lapossible ! ‘said. Mr. Beck. _Quebec's pulpwi constimied 4t the rate of over 1,000,000 cords a year and the best informed ex- pert opinion estimated the resources Qf; that province would last not more than 50 years at. the present rate of con- sumption, said the speaker who declared that Quebec's forests already are threat- ened with early exhaustion. Canada’s great need today, said Mr Beck, like that of the New England states, is for the inauguration of a re- forestation policy that will insure a permanent supply Of timber for her wood consuming Industries. Without it, he predicted the same fate for the Ca- nadian pulp and paper ¥ndustry that is now threatening the American. To open the crown lands at this time to unrestricted exploitation, he said, would only hasten such a condition and in the end benefit nobody. SEIZED TRUCK WITH TEN BARRELS OF GRAIN ALCOHOL Danbury, Conn., Aug. 25.—Six federal agents halted a motor truck between Norwalk and this city late today. Seized 10 barrels of grain alcohol and arrested Reuben Katz, the driver, and Harry Sne- sell both of New York. They were brought here and locked up in default of bonds. The same officers also arrest- ed today Joseph Cowan, of Litchfield, who had eleven bottles of whiskey in his automobile. He furnished a bond of $500. The three men are to appear to- morrow before United States Commis- sioner Cable here. The prohibition agents were particu- larly pleased with fhe seizure of the 10 barrels of alcohol, which is valued at 25,000. The truck was a closed moving van arranged to have the appearance of a load of household goods, with a bed springs fastened at the rear. The driv- er showed a permit to carry alcohol, but the agents claim it is counterfeit. The government men also say that the truck- men offered §200 each to the officers if they would allow the truck to continue. The men said they were on their way from New York to New Haven. BRITISH COAL MINERS TAKING STRIKE VOTE London, 2 "The Aug. 25.--(By A P) The balloting of the coai miners throughout the country today is going largely in favor of a strike. The voting in many places has been three to one in favor of the miners laying down their picks. The Welsh miners are virtually unanimous for a strike, it is sald. The Miners' Federation met today and discussed the question if it should per- mit steps to be taken to prevent the flooding of the mines in the event of the men ceasing work, but no decision was reached. The government declines to discuss any compromise measures. There seems to be a gomeral belief that the other trades unions will refuse to countenance a miners' strike and that without the support of the other mem- bers of the labor triple alliance with which the miners are affiliated—the rail- waymen and the transport workers— such a strike would be a failure. OUTRAGES CONTINUE IN VARIOUS PARTS OF IRELAND Dublin, Aug. 25 —Outrages continue to be reported from various places. Armed eivilians today attacked a party of Cam- eron Highlanders cutside Queenstown, overpowered them and made off with thelr arms. One soldier was so seriously injured that he died tonight.

THUR in the Near Future Prediction Made Coincident With “Renewed Activity” in Campaign Against Profi- teers. Washington, Aug. 24.—(By The A. P.) Forecast of a tumble in coal prices was made by department of ‘justice officials today coincident with the announcement of ‘“renewed activity” in the campaign against coal profiteers. . With produc- tion on the increase, prediction was made that the coal market would follow sugar prices in a break in the near fu- ture. Prices already have dropped at Balti- more where the federal agents started Yesterday to gather evidence against an allged combination of dealers who were declared to have boosted prices through repeated resales. . A similar attack on profiteers has been ordered at Hampton Roads, one of the largest bunkering sta- tions on the eastern seaboard. Although interior points have reported exorbitant coal prices in many instances it was stated that the “flagrant violations” of the Lever law were confined largely to the Atlantic coast. Federal reserve board officials report- ed indications also of an impending drop in the coal market. Their information was that transportation conditions with respect to coal had improved and a bet- ‘ter distribution, therefore, was being had. DROP IN PRICE OF SOFT COAL IN BALTIMORE, $18 TO $9.50 Baltimore, Md., Aug. 25.—With gov- epnment agents after profiteers in soft coal, prices are dropping according to George Kieffner, assistant United States district attorney, who is conducting the government's coal investigation here. Prices have dropped, Mr. Kieffner said, from around §17 and $18 a ton, to $8.25 to $9.50, according to quality, and he is looking for a further drop. LODGE IN SYMPATHY WITH IRISH PEOPLE Boston, Aug. 25.—Senator Lodge, in a letter sent today to State Senator John J. Walsh said that the resolution passed by the senate last year expressing “sym- pathy with the aspirations’ of the Irish people for a government of its own choice” expressed his attitude with re- gard to Ircland and that he had moth- ing_t oadd to it. The letter was in reply to one from Senator Walsh asking that he introduce at the next session of congress a resolu- tion to provide for financing a commis- sion from the United States to investigate conditions in Ireland. “I expect and intend,” Senator Lodge ‘wrote, “in the course of the campaign to discuss the foreign relations of the United States, but only so far as the United States is directly involved in those re- lations, whether existing or proposed, and upon which getion must be taken by the government of the ‘United States.” He quoted from a sbeech Which he made in- the senate 1919, in sible point the foreign questions in Which rolye, ourselves. e letler concluded: “I have seen no reason 4o change the views thus expréssed a year ago. It should’ never be forgotten, especially by those charged with the responsibilities of national government, that sympathy for the races to which we belong and for the countries from which we or our ancestors have come—a sympathy which is net only natural but honorable—is a very differ- ent thing from legislative or executive action. which would affect the future of the entire country and might precipitate the solemn issue of peace or war. 1 be- lieve that the highest duty of all Ameri- cans, whether native born or naturalized, when they deal with public questions and elections to office is to think as Ameri- cans, to vote as Americans and in all that concerens their country ever to re- member that they must be Americans rst.” -CENT FARE NOT PROFITABLE FOR CONNECTICUT TROLLEYS New Haven, Conn. Aug. 25.—Indica- tions that the Connecticut Company will ask the public utilities commisston to authorize a higher trolley fare than the present seven cent rate were given to- night in a statement by Leonard M. Daggett, a trustee of the company, The! GENERAL W public utilities commisison has set Octo- ber 1 as the date for the final hearing in the trolley fare case and has directed the Connecticut Company to present its arguments at that time. “The present seven cent fare does not produce sufficient revenue,” said Mr. Daggett. “It is producing more than the zone system, but the increased reve- nue is not sufficient to meet the expenses of operation. No decision has been made in regard to stopping trolley service in any other city than Bridgeport, but it enough money is not taken in the com- pany cannot continue to pay wages to conductors and motormen.” BURDICK PLEADED GUILTY OF EMBEZZLEMENT 'AND FRAUD London, Aug. 25.—Lslie White Bur- dick, formerly connmected with a bank and’ condensed milk concern in New York, pleaded guilty today in the Bow street court to two indictments found against him in the United States when he was brought up -in extradiction pro- ceedings on a charge of “embezziement and fraud by a banker or officer of a banking company within the jurisdiction of the United States government” The magistrate issued an order for the ex- tradition of Burdick to the United States. Burdick formerly was president of the First National bank of Gouverneur, N. Y., and secretary and treasurer of the Aurora Milk Company of Canton, ) The Aurora Company went into bank- huptcy about three years ago, and Mr. Burdick left Gouverneur about one year later.

P.)— The destruction of the bolshevik armies now may be considered complete, ac- cording to advices received here. Of the host which swept down on Warsaw nothing is left but 30,000 fugitives. The Poles have taken 80,000 prisoners thus far, but what is more important they have captured great quantities of guns and materials. It is considered probable that the So- viets employed all their available -re- sources, and in their present condition Russian industries will take a long time to replace them. During the past three days there has been heavy fighting in the Maréhy val- ley of the Narew between Ostrolenka and Lomza, where the Reds sought to break through in the direction of Bialy- stok. The losses have been heavy on both sides. The peasants continue daily to discover and hand over to the miil- tary fugitive Red detachments. The exact number of cannon abandoned -is not yet known. Detachments of cavalry and ‘infantry on horseback which escaped proceeded northward along the line of the lakes and marshes between the fortresses of Ossowieo and Grodno. The same rou was followed by those retreating from the environs of Bjalystok. It appears evident that the bolsheviki are trying to make a stand in the re- glon of Ossowec, where the nature of the ground facilitates a defensive, so as to maintain communication with East Prus- sia_and prevent access to the Poles to Lithuania. Profiting by the regrouping of the Polish army, the Reds .again invaded Galicia. General Budenny mals a dash for Lemberg, but has bee defeat- ed and is in flight. Another detachmen: crossed the Dnieper and occupied Stryi. This detachment sought to iestrov the Boryslav oil wells, but was driven off by local workmen. In the region of Ofchelm a bolshevik attack-mas repelled tv troops occupyi:g the right bank of the Bug. SHING NOTE SENT THE POLISH GOVERENMENT ADMO! Washington, Aug. 25.—A formal rep- resentation admonishing the Polish gov- ernment not to permit its forces to go beyond the ethnographic boundaries of Poland in pursuit of the Russian Soviet troops has been forwarded to Warsaw, the state department announced to- day. Officials explained that the communi- cation was not a formal note to the Pol- ish government but was rather in the nature of instructions to the American charge elaborating upon the position of the United States as expressed in the American note to Italy on the Polish sit- vation. In this’ note the United States put itself formally on record as op- posing any trangression of Russian ter- that informal assurances had beeén receiv ed from theh Polish government that the wishes of the -American government would be respected. NUMBER OF BOLSHEVIKI KILLED EXCEEDS 40,000 Warsaw, Aug. 25.—The Polish war minister, General' Solnokowski, declares that four bolshevik armies have been completely defeated on the northern Pol- ish. front. They consisted of 250,000 troops—infantry, cavalry and light ar- tillery. The minister estimates that the num- ber of bolsheviki killed exceeds 40 000. Already 50,000 prisoners have been tak- en, and 50,000 more, he declares, will be gathered in before the end of the week. PRESENCE OF KRASSIN NEEDED IN MOSCOW London, Aug. 25.—M. Kameneft and M. Krassin, the Russian Soviet emis- saries who have been in London for some time endeavoring to negotiate trade re- lations, will 2o to Moscow Friday, says the London Times.

He was given an enthusiastic send-off by the population of the city, and a battalion of women soldiers acted as a guard of honor at the station. RESUMPTION OF TROLLEYS IN BRIDGEPORT PROBABLE Bridgeport, Conn., Aug. 25.—After five weel without the services of the trolley carg of the Connecticut Company indica- tiols tonight point to a resumption of its service within the next two weeks. May- or C. B. Wilson's special committee ap- pointed to investigate transportation problems in a report filed tonight recom- mended the restriction of jitney buses on streets in, the center of the city. The re- port also sets forth that the Connecticut Company should take prompt steps te exercise its franchise here or forfeit its right' thereto. It is understood that the report is satisfactory to the officlals of the Connecticut company. Careful consideration of the financial problems of the Connecticut company and its methods of operation and control are evidenced in the report. The com- mittee expresses the opinion that the Connecticut Company should make rad- ical changes in its methods. LABOR ELEMENTS ARE DESERTING BOLSHEVISM Washington, Aug. 25 —Intimations have been received by the state depart- ment that the radical labor elements of tre principal European countries are be- coming divorced from bolshevism and hai the influence of the soviet govern- ment in Russia will not be felt much Inuger in political affairs of the nations of Curope: It was stated on high au- thority today that open avowals of the depai‘ure of Furopean labor from the paths of bolshevism may be expected seen.
