ALL HOPE CONE
FOR AGREEMENT
Difference of One Cent Pre-
vents Settlement of
Miners Dispute

New York, March 3.-All hope
of negotiating an interstate wage
agreement for the soft cold fields of
the Middle West was virtually aban-
doned today, when propositions of
fered by both operators and miners
were voted down by the sub-com-
mittee representing the two sides.
Some operators and miners expec-
ted the subcommittee later in the
day to report disagreement to the
full joint conference. In this event
a sine die adjournment of the con
ference will likely result, and the
United Mine Workers policy COM
mittee will then outline further ac-
ton. The policy committee, if pre-
cedent is followed, will order the in
ternational and district officers to en-
deavor to negotiate agreement by
States.
A difference of one cent is all that
stands between the contending forces.
Today the mines shaved down their
10 percent increase demand for dead
work and yardage to s per cent. and
also cut the demand for 20 percent,
advance for day lobor to 10 percent.
The operators moved to cut the
pending tonnage demand of 3 cents
to 2 cents ton, with proportienate
decreases in the other demands Thi:
was refused by the miners and the
operators then rejected the proposal
of the workers.

The wrecking crew at Evansville was

Blame for the accident has not

him In his race for United States
Senator In the August primary, 1914.
He said prohlbitionists had no
place In the Democratic party, and
so long as Mr.. McChesney advocated
Statewide prohibition he onght not
to be permitted to be q member of
the Democratic party. He saId the
election OF August, 1916, settled for
ell time the question Of Statewide
J, prohibition In this state, and that
those Of as who had been fighting
nim IN the county ought to cease

REP. HARVEY
OF WEBSTER
Displeased With Report Of
Committee and Challenges
Gov. Stanley to Make
Request
THAT THE PROBE Be CONTINUED

FRANKFORT, KY. March, 6-The
Probe Committee appointed to
investigate "the charges aud
countercharges" made by Rep
resentative Harvey, of Webster
County, and Representative
Humphrey, of Fleming County,
during the recent Statewide
4 probition debate, submitted a
unanimous report this afternoon
completely exonerating Harvey
IN connection with Pumphrey't
charges.
The committee report entirely
ignores the charges which were
made by Representative Havey
relative to whisky contributions
toward Gov. Stanley's election.
-Altho it was the general under
standing that it was the commit
tees duty to investigates the
charges affecting the Governor,
the report contains no word up
on this subject.
The House, however, adopted
the report without debate and
discharged the committee.
Mep'bers of the committee, it is
SAID. did not consider that they
were charged, under the resolu-
! tion, with the duty of probing
the charges made by Harvey
which precipated Pumphrey'sa'-
tack upon him.
Representative Harvey to-
night issued statement in
which he expresses emphatic
dissatisfaction with the report.
He repeats his charges against
Gov. Stanley. supports them
an sffidavit and dares the Gov
enor to submit to an investiga-
tiOn.
The report Harvey declares is a
compromise resulting from 1.-THE
desperate desire of the Governor
and his supporters to avoid bring
ing out the truth.

renewing his demand for an in

aw, events of varied character and

law, events of varied character and
prime Importance have served to ex-
pand this subject, multiplying and
complicating the problems of interna
tional relationships. The purpose of
this new edition, the fourth one, is to
present an inclusive view of this rapid
ly changing subject up to the early
part of the current year. To meet this
purpose a chapter, here and there, has
been recast in order to incorporate val
liable new material bearing upon the
topic with which the chapter has to do.
In addition, there has been added to
the earlier matter the text Of such in
ternational agreements as have been
reached within the past eight years.
Here one finds a tabulation of the con-
clusions of the first and second Hague
peace conferences. copies of various dec
larations, treaties and conventions
bearing upon the peaceful relations Of
nations through the medium of arbitral
courts. or upon the conduct of war
when such relations are broken. A
carefully selected photography and a
list of concrete cases for illustration
OF the subject accompany the body of
the text. Mr.. Sherman in his work of
revision has maintained the compre-
hensive outlook, the objective develop
ment and the economy of plan initiated
by the late Gen. Davis in his original
treatment of this subject. These are
the qualities that give the book it's dis
tinction as a text book on international
law.
