IMPORTANT MATTERS TO COME BEFORE CONGRESS THIS WEEK ‘Washington, May 15.—Final action on two important pieces of dumestic legis- lation, the emergency tariff and budget system bills, and possible disposal of a measure international in its scope, the Knox peace resolution, is the goal set for congress this week by leaders. Agrcement on the tariff and budget bill, koth of which are inconference, was regarded as assured by the end of the week but progress in the house with the peace measure was somewhat in @subt. Republican leaders however, said it was probable that, Germany having accepted the allied reparations terms, the senate peace plan would be taken up in a few days. Sentiment has developed in the house against the Knox plan for re- peal of the war resolutions and for sub- stitution of a mere declaration of peace. Phases of the reparations question promise to come up in the senate this week, through discussion of the reso- lutiohis of Senator LaFollette, republican, Wisconsin, to condemn arnd inquire into President Harding's designation of per- sonal representatives on the allied coun- cils. Senator LaFollette has in prepa- ratton an address on his resolution, but burg-American steamship line, arrived in New York on the steamship Rotterdam to confer with steamship officials here concerning details of the contract recent- ly made with the United American lines.

The newspaper asserts that France could not witness passively armed intervention by Germany in Upper Silesia. This would be consédered by France as a vielation of the treaty of Versailles, and conse- |quently a casus belli. The Journal says it learns from Op- pein that the inter-allied arms depot io- cated at Breslau has been robbed by a detachment of Germans and that 4,000 rifles. 18 machine guns and 2 millien cartridges were taken to Upper Silesla to be distributed among the “free corps” there, GERMANY SENDS NOTB TO FRENCH PREMIER Paris May 15.—The German govern- ment has transmitied a note to Premier Briand in which it is declared that the uprising in Upper Silesia followed infor- maticn printed in the Upper Sileslan newspaper which is the official organ of Adelbert Korfanty, and not informatfen printed in German newspapers. The note maintains that the storfes printed in the German newspapers were in no way misleading.

SPOTS ON SUN INTERRUPTS TELEGEAPHIC COMMUNICATION Washington, May 1 telegraphic communication by electrical influences, it due tG the presence Of spots on the sun as set forth in the Bra- shear theory, will pass away within for- ty-eight hours in the belief of officiais at the naval observatory here. The present spot or group of spots on the face of the sun, estimated by naval observatory officials 94,000 miles in length and 21,000 in latitude, was near- est the earth last night and today through rotation of the sun was moving away from the solar medidian. Naval ob- servatory officialg said today that leav- ing out of consideration the decreasing effect of the spots on electrical currents on the carth through the usual breaking up of the spots, the reguiar rotation of the sun on its axis would within a few days carry the spots far from the earth as to make their influence negligi- ble. The theory that the aurora borealis or northern lights which send “earth cur- rents” through telegraphic wires, inter- rupting communication, result from sun tspots was advanced by Dr. Johns A. | Brashear, the late Pittsburgh astrono- mer. The theory has never been defi- nitely accepted, naval observatory offi- als asserted, but the fact that spots on the sun usually are accompanied by eiec- trical disturbances has resulted in al- most general acceptance of the theory. The spots which mow are present on the face of the sun and which were vis- ible to the naked eye today with the use of a smoked glass, were first photo- graphed at the naval observatory last Monday when brought that side within vietv. _The Interruption of of the solar body spots at that time, laccording to Dr. G. H. Peters, an offi- {sial at the observatory who photograph- led them, were about one and a half to two days old. The following day the photographers showed the spots to be much agitated, the gaseous vapors of which they are composed resembling a cyclonic storm on the earth, Dr. Peters aid. Yesterday's photograph taken about noon, showed the spots to be near the solar meridian. Naval observatory officials said the presence of such a large group of spots at this time was most un- usual inasmuch as the prevalence of the spots move in an eleven year cycle and the apex of prevalence occurred about four years ago. J TWELVE PERSONS KILLED IN RAILROAD WRECK IN FRANCE Toulouse, France, May 1 sons were killed and fifty two express trains bound to this city from Paris jumped the track last night within a few miles of one another The fact that in each case the eight coaches were derailed and the locomotives and their tenders remained on the track caused Minister of Public Works Le Trocquer to order an investigation In each instance the coupling between the tender and the first coach snapped. The first train left Paris at 10.52 o'clock Saturday morning and jumped the rails near Uzerche, thirty-one southeast of Limoges. Five persons were killed in this wreck and twenty injured. !Owing to the wreckage, the express train {leaving Paris at 7.25 p. m. was diverted to another road at Perigeux Junction. It went into the ditch a few miles beyond that place.
