Webb City Operator Admits
'Sameness'' in Prices.
Evidence of "Combine" Sought
i'm Missouri Hearing.

Joplin, Mo, Sept. 14.-Operators of
mines and ore buyers for. the twenty
eight smelling companies which are
charged with having formed q COM
bination to control the price of zinc
ore have been subpoenaed to appear
before Special Commissioner Frank
McAllister today.
The hearing is being pushed by As
sistant Attorney General Lee B.
Ewing, who began gathering evidence
at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
w. 7. Orr, a Webb City mine owner,
testified that there is generally a
''sameness" in the prices offered for
ore by BUYERS for the different COM

grades of ore. He said that prior to
the unusual conditions brought on by
the war ore sold on an to L ratio
spelter was quoted at $5 hundred
pounds, so per cent metallic zinc ore
was worth $40. Since the war spell
ter has been as high $40 hundred.
Last week with spelter quoted at $14

were $50 for high grade ore, when
on the to 1 basis it should have been
$112.

orally in their contention that the
smelters have entered a combine.
Joseph S. Walker, buyer for the
zinc company dnu the AHleT1-
can Steel and Wire company, said:
Both the zinc companies are sub
sidiaries to the United States Steel
corporation. 1 have been a buyer for
twenty-seven years, and we buy any
grade of ore that comes out of the
ground.
Il receive no buying instructions
from my office, except on rare occa-
sions. / regulate my price by quiz
zing around producers. 1 regulate
my price accordingly. The company
has buyers in various parts of the
United States keeping tab on the ore
production. Recently this production
has increased materially.
There has never been a regular
ratio between ore and metal prices. 1t
has been as low as to 1 and higher
than to /. You will find it has va

WANT SQUARE DEAL
Jitneys Deliver Passengers Near Fair
Grounds Entrance.

Chief of Police Parsons, acting on
| Instructions, has issued an order pro-
hibiting jitneys from entering the
State Fair grounds. The policemen
permit jitney cars and busses to un-
load their passengers on the fair
ground side of Seventeenth street,
which extends along the north side of
the grounds.
The jitney drivers declare this a
discrimination. They say they have
spaid their license and are entitled to
the use of the streets. They do not
care so much about being barred from
delivering passengers inside the
grounds, as the street cars are per
mitted to do, but do not understand
why even this discrimination is made
against them.
They said this morning that it
worked a hardship when they were
compelled to deliver their passengers
on the north side of Seventeenth street
instead of the south side, requiring the
passengers to walk across the street
in the dust or mud as the case might
be to the entrance, which is at the
corner of Topeka avenue and Seven
teenth street.
The spokesman of a delegation Of
drivers visiting the State Journal Office
this morning said: THE impression
allowed within a block and Z. half Of
the fair grounds This is an error
Jitneys will deliver passengers ct the
corner of Seventeenth and T . ska
avenue, right at the fair grounds TO-.

anlned by the board of automobile
examiners"
They want square deal III serving
the public Several Of the drivers said
they would like permission to take
their own families N their cars into
the grounds. but in doing so would
not solicit passengers and would re-
move the signs. if they were permitted
to do so.
They declare that representatives of
the street car company last night were
misles ding the public about fair
ground privileges which the street cars
claim over the jitneys.

Sofia that Germany has demanded
permission for, the passage of Austro-
German troops through Rumanian
territory and the delivery by Rumania
of various supplies engaged amount

the Balkan situation is reported here
to be bringing Greece, Rumania and
Servia to consider JOINT action in case
of an Austro-Germ attack on Ru-

Bulgaria is said not to be included
in the negotiation in view OF the

San Francisco, Sept. 14-Urging
her hearers to forego alliances with
any existing mans political party, and
to work for new woman made civil
lization, Mrs. 0. H. P. Belmont, as
general chairman of the women vot-
ers' convention, welcomed the dele
gates at q luncheon today which pre-
ceded the first business session Of the
convention. Mrs. Belmont said:
The women voters of the twelve
enfranchised states of our United
States are here to form n body polite.
1t is the first time in the history of
the world that women have moved
politically. What does it signify
The Better Half of Humanity.
1T means now, it always has,
and always will, that when women
come together, the moral better side
of humanity intends to assert itself.
1.-THE western women with the
power of her ballot will give to her
enslaved sister justice and freedom.
THE union of this s1sterhood of
women voters is the power political
of the near future. Let us plead
with you to form no alliance with any
existing mans political party For
twenty centuries, remember, you
have been led to believe your work
was to patch up the evils terminated
by mans so-called civilization. 1t is
time for us women to have a civiliza
ton of our own.

First Women Voters Convention
San Francisco, Sept. 14.-The first
women voters convention ever held in
the United States convened here to-
day Mrs o. H. P. Belmont of New
York, general chairman of the con-
vention, made the opening address.
The convention which is being held
under the auspices of the Congression-
al Union for Woman Suffrage will be
in session three days. 1t is expected
that more than 5000 delegates will be
in attendance. Representatives are
here from twenty-six states.
Discussing the convention today
Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the Ma
tional Congressional Union, of Wash
ington, D. c., said:
This convention, representing
100000 enfranchised women, marks
we believe, the beginning of the end
in the long suffrage struggle. One
fourth of our national senate, one
sixth of the national house of repre-
sentatives, one-fifth of the vote fer
president comes from statesSwfere7
women are voters. With this leverage
there is every reason for US to believe
that the national suffrage amendment
will be passed by the Sixty-fourth con-
gress. The convention has been called
to devise ways by which the women
voters may use their voting strength
to win suffrage for all other women"

submarine.
Washington, Sept. 14.-The Ameri-
can government is not willing to dis
cuss with Germany the question of
arbitration in connection with the
sinking of the Arabic.
1t was stated by high government
Official that the question of arbitration
was not in issue.
1t was explained authoritativeIy
that what the American government
first wants is a disavowal of the at
tack on the Arabic. Afteward the
American government may be willing
to arbitrate the question of indemnity,
it was indicated.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador. has communicated the
view of the American government to
Berlin and it is expected he will re-
ceive a reply within the next week or
ten days.
The United States is disposed to give
him full opportunity to impress on the
Berlin government the views of Presi-
dent Wilson as disclosed to him yes
terday by Secretary Lansing.
While officials realize that the sit
uation is grave, they are hopeful that
when Berlin learns of the facts in
possession of the state department; the
act will be disavowed.

Won Bernstorff full opportunity to
communicate with his government and
Secreatrg Lansing has promised to af-
ford every facility for representing the
American view.
1t was said today that the am bassa-
dor and the secretary yesterday dis
cussed entirely the question of dis
avowal.
WaShingtOns Conclusive Evidence
1t was learned that the ambassador
had the opportunity at the state deT
partment to examine carefully a mass
Ci evidence gathered by the United
States, giving in technical detail the
position of the Arabic, the British
steamer Dunsley and the German sub
nIarine up to and including the time
tor pedoeS were fired which destroyed
both vessels. The proof offered is
understood to be chiefly that the Ger
man submarine was at right angles
to the Arabic when firing the torpedo
and that the liner could not see the
submarine because up to the moment
of firing, it was concealed behind the
Dunsley.
These facts have now been trans
mitted through diplomatic channels
to the German foreign office and Off
cials are waiting to learn what effect
a study of this evidence in Berlin will
have on the point of view of the Ger
man government.
