The senate is still the scene of a
fight with the possibility of treaty rat
ification still dim. In fact reserya-
lions and changes to suit the mind
of each Individual are very much in
vogue. With the majority of the OPP
position, however, it is matter OF
breaking a president rather than
consideration of the public's right to
peace. Deliberation is privilege;
when st. Peter receives Senate Re
publicans he will more likely turn
them down than pass them on because
of "lOng- windedneSS."

With respect to the elmer circle" of
Milwaukee Socialists, it would seem
politically wise that its members not
bleed a believer in their cause of
$1,000 of his salary as district at

of the worst kind. No wonder that a
man without money cannot hold a
political Office, as they have often

The Soldier Bonus Law is to be
voted on Tuesday, September 2. The
result should be an overwhelming
ratification of the referendum. The
tax is not a big issue, except to those
who can afford to pay it. The money
to be disbursed is only a halfway
compensation to many for their sacri-
flee of money and time, and their dis
agreeable experiences. If you favor
the soldiers bonus, get out and vote.

have serious doubts as to what the
United States District Attorney can
do under the present statutes. The

suit is that no prosecution can be
started by the county district attor-

COnsults Others
Attorney Lippert consulted public
men in Milwaukee recently, but was
unable to reach a satisfactory conclu-
sion in his talk with them. They
are also of the belief that little can
be done at present to curb the pirat-
ing now going on. He has also COM
municated with the governor in an
effort to determine what action can
be taken in a number of cases.
The situation is a mean one to deal
with. There is nothing under present
laws which prohibits the selling of
produce much in excess of the price
that should be obtained.

|S0DDY MINES
AGAIN CLOSED
$50 Miners Refuse to Work,
Being Dissatisfied With Gar
fields Proposal.

The $50 miners at Soddy are again
on strike. The men worked up till
Saturday, but refused to return to
work Monday, claiming as an excuse
that they did not like the proposed
terms of Fuel Administrator Gar
field. The mine leaders say that they
will wait to see the results of the new
conference which opened Monday in
Washington.
These mines are a part of the Dur
ham Coal and Iron company system.
The men resumed work soon after the
strike cali was cancelled, three weeks
ago, and had been apparently salts
fed until Monday morning, when
they all refused to return to work.
The men have made no demands on
the managers, and, in fact. refuse to
talk with them about the matter.
No report had been received from
the mines at Durham by the officials
whose headquarters are located in
Chattanooga, and they do not know
what the men down there are doing.
All wire connection is broken so that
the mines cannot be communicated
with.
There was no disorder at Suddy.
The men during the day collected
ir the village and discussed topics
of the day and the probable results
of the new congress, which is in sos-
sion in Washington.

CITY TO FIGHT
>FARE INCREASE

A 7-cent car fare, with cents ad
ditional for transfers. will not be
granted the Chattanooga Railway
and Light company without a strong
fight made against it by Mayor A.
w. Chambliss and members of the
city commission.
Formal application for the increase
was made Saturday at Nashville be-
fore the state public utilities com
mission by the Chattanooga Railway
and Light company. City officials
here were notified Saturday night
that they had ten days in which to
prepare an answer to the petition.
CITY Attorney Frank $. Garden left
for Memphis Sunday night to confer
with the city attorney, who recently
fought a similar request made by the
railway company in that city. APP
plication there was made for Z cents,
bu. due to the fight made, by city
officials, it was reduced to cents.
Charge for transfers is the main
p,.nt the city commission objects to.
Mayor Chambliss stated Monday
morning that all the facts of the case
would be entered into and that in a
matter of such vital importance to
the public, judgment would not be
allowed through default.
One of the engineers employed by
the city of Memphis. when that city
was making It's fight against the
rate increase called Mayor Chambliss
Monday morning offering his serv-
ices in whatever way necessary
should the city desire to make an
Investigation in detail. He was told
by Mayor Chambliss that the city's
action would be determined Upon re-
turn of City Attorney Garden from
Memphis, which will probably be
Wednesday.
While in Memphis Mr.. Garden will
go, over the records in the Memphis
case to learn just what arguments
he will likely be called upon to an
Swer.
Nothing will be done until the re-
turn of the city attorney" said Mayor
Chambliss Monday. "The question
is up to the state board. having been
taken out of our hands by the state
legislature of last session. However,
our local government will see to it
that the side of the public is pre-
sented."

government, as it is entirely unsup-
ported by evidence. There is not
produced any of the testimony rem
dered by him, or any extracts from
such testimony tending to show
the correctness of this opinion. The
Mexican government cannot expect
the United States to accept in the
grave circumstances of this case
such a bare unsupported statement
as valid excuse for the imprison-
ment of an American consular Of
tlcer, particularly in view of the
fact that the investigation of the
case by the representatives OF
the United States in Mexico, so far
as it has proceeded, fails utterly
to support this opinion of your
government. On the contrary the
investigation gives the government
of the United States every reason
to believe tnat Mr. Jenkins has not
knowingly given any false testi-
mony in respect of vital points
in his case; although he has been
harassed by Mexican authorities
to give such testimony. even while
lying in the hospital too weak and
exhausted to make them as a result
of his trea tment by the abductors,
and while he knew evidence was
being obtained against him through
intimida tion of witnesses. So
