HALF OF THE MINES
INNORTHERNW. VA.
AT WORK TODAY
Many That Were Down on
Tuesday Remained Idle
Today Also.

Working conditions in the mines Of
Northern West Virginia have not
changed any today. There are prob
ably one half Of the mines working,
the others having not yet resumed op-
erations. Hope Is expressed in all
quarters that work will resume in bet
ter proportions on Thursday.
On the Monongah division Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad today
there are but. one third of the mines
at work Many Of the larger opera
tions have not yet resumed activities.
Production yesterday on the division
fell to 427 Ioads-l7S loads lighter
than on Monday.
The most encouraging phase Of the
situation is that the delegates attend
; ing the convention Of sub district 4
of district II, United Mine Workers
of America last night decided to re-
turn to work, after having held three
separate sessions. From what could
he gathered the convention was al
most unanimous in the decision to re-
turn to work. AS far as the Fairmont
region is concerned the IA per cent av
erage wage increase has been accept
ed and there should be no reason
why the miners should not return to
work without delay 1t Is believed
that the effort is a sincere one on
the part Of the United Mine Workers
officials, which will manifest itself in
the region within the next day or
two.
Today H. E. Peters, president of sub
district 4, sent out circular letter to
the various local unions Of the sub
district, setting forth the action Of tho
eepvention. A copy Of the resolution
is alsp being sent to each local union,
At thasconvention yesterday the ma
jority ofSlocal unions of the subdis-
tricts weresEepresented by delegates.
That there iss a tendency among the
miners to return to work Is self evi-
dent. In a number OF quarters in the
field LOCAL unions recentI elected
officers and transacted blt tsiness and
in some instances it is sal ID that the

NINE OPERATORS

Working Out Details Of
Wage Increase at
Washington.

IBy, Associated Pressl
i. WASHINGTON, Dec 3.-Mine
operators from all parts Of the coun-
try gathered here today to work out
details of the IA per cent wage in
crease. suggested by the government
for bltuminous coal miners,
While the, sessions officially were
resticted to operators located in the
central competitive field, representa-
tives from other sections were on
hand to gather facts on which to base
their own adjustment.
Optimism in official circles was
marked, although production figures
available showed no increase in daily
tonnage. This is now estimated semi
officially as better than forty per cent
of normal. Operators representing
the Alabama fields, gathered for the
wage discussion, said production,
which had been normal there, had
dropped to about eighty per cent, un-
ion representatives being active in
attempting to call men out.
Central Pennsylvania mine owners
reported partial production, while
West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennes-
see representatives were confident
that the mine output soon would be
back to normal.

WIDOW VICTIM
OF JEALOUSY?
Chicago Police Believe Mrs. POcOck
Met Death at Hands of AnOth-
er Man.

Chicago. June 23.-Mrs. Anna
Wells Pocock, at one time a resi-
dent of Iowa City, Iowa, and after
wards of Canton, Ohio. whose body
was found in a downtown hotel
here last Friday, met death at the
hands of a Jealous" man, accord
ing to the theory of the police to-
day. based on the opinion of Cor
ouer Peter A Hoffman, that death
was due to an alkaloid poison gwen
her.
Lieutenant of Police John ".
Norton, said he was convinced that
Mrs. Pocock met the man he be-
lieves was responsible for her
death between 9 and IL o'clock on
Thursday night before she went to
the hotel with man who signed as
u. s. Mintern and wife. BALDWIN,
Iowa" Norton said he believed tnat
this Mintern was in no way re-
sponsible for the wOman's death.
but that a man who had not been
mentioned in the case was being
sought.
According to former friends in
Iowa City, Mrs. Pocock and her
husband opened several motion
picture theatres in Iowa during
1914, one of them being in Iowa
City. About three years ago the
couple moved to Canton. OHIO.
where they acquired valuable coal
lands. Her husband, it was sand,

Sen. KNOX Will
PUSH HIS PLAN
Declares He VIII Demand Vote on
Resolution to Have League Df-
VOrced From Treaty.

Washington. June Ex-senator
Knox, Republican, of Pennsylvania,
announced that after Appropriation
bills had been passed, he would at
tempt to obtain a vote on his reSo-
luton expressing unwillingness TO
accept the league of nations Gov
enant as an inseparable part of the
peace treaty.
The stormy senate fight over the
league of nations which has ragged
virtually without interruption since
the extra session began five weeks
ago apparently had reached a truce
today while the leaders on botn
sides realigned their forces for the
final struggle over the covenants
ratification.
With abandonment of the plan
to call up today Senator knox's res
olution on the subject, there up-
peared little likelihood that issues
of the controversy would appear on
the surface of senate procedure
during the coming week, and per
haps not until the treaty is submit
ted for ratification early in July.
Quiet MaReuVering Goes On.
Meantime, however, quiet ma
continued in preparation
for the final ratification fight. Ell
forts were made by opposition lead
ers to line up votes behind the pro-
posal of Elihu Root, former secre-
tary of state. for ratification of. the
league with reservations. One the
other side there was a general dis
position to await the return or
President Wilson and his swing
aroun dthe circle to fortify the ef
fort for unreserved ratification.
AS a consequence of these ma
neuvers the league issues seem
assured of remaining uppermost in
the minds of senators despite the
lack of actual surfact develop
ments. and the unrestrained senti-
ments of both sides are expected to
find an outlet in an occasional out
burst of senate debate.

.LOWDEN SIGNS
SEIZURE BILL
Goes Into Effect July 1-Brundage
Holds Liquor for Family Use
is Legal

Springfield, ILL.,, June 23.-Gov-
ernor Lowden has announced that
he has signed the so-called search
and seizure bill. Therefore it will
become a law of Illinois July /.
The formal statement of Gov
ernor Lowden is accompanied by
an official opinion, given to the
governor by Attorney General Ed
ward J. Brundage. In his opin-
ion Mr.. Brundage advises the gov
ernor that enforcement of the
search and seizure act would not
make it unlawful for a person to
serve intoxicating liquors to his
family or bona fide guests in his
residence or apartment in the
course of the Hospitality ordinarily
shown guests"
This declaration from the attor-
ney general is extremely important,
inasmuch as the legislature passed
a companion bill that expressly
places upon the attorney general
the duty of enforcing the search
and seizure act. and gives to him
fund of $4,000 TO do the job.
From this opinion of the attor-
ney general with respect to the
legal intent of the search AMI
seizure act run against the federal
prohibition amendment and the
July l act of the federal govern
ment. He says that it is the plan
duty of Illinois to enforce any and
all laws, prohibition included.
Governor Lowden directs atten-
tion to the proposition that some
Of the chief opponents to searcn
and seizure have been men who
have supported the propaganda of
the Anti-Saloon league and who
have been responsible in part fo-
the election of members of con-
gress who put federal prohibition
on the statute books and who
helped elect Illinois legislators
and who have not only ratified the
prohibition amendment to the fed
eral constitution but who have put
through the new law enforcement
bill after a clean cut fight in pri-
maries and elections eliminating
in a protracted and above the
table campaign.
1T is not claimed that the law is
UNCONSTITUTIONAL" Governor Low
den said. 1T certainly cannot be
said, after all the years of Contro-
versy which have ragged around it,
that the bill was hastily passed.
There is no ground upon which, in
my opinion, l would be warranted
in vetoing this bill 1t will there
fore become a law"

Versailles, June 23.-(By the AS
sociated Press). = Arrangements
are under way here for the signing
of the peace treaty. Orders have
been given to have everything in
readiness Tuesday, although the
ceremony is not likely to occur be-
fore Wednesday.
The famous gallery of mirrors
has received its final furnishings
The carpets have been laid and the
ornamental table, with it's 18th CEN
tury gilt and bronze decorations,
has been placed in position on the
dais where the plenipotentiaries
will be seated.
There will be room for 400 invit
ed persons at the historic session.
They will be given places in the
left wing of the hall of mirrors,
while the right wing will be occu
pied by about the same number Of
press representatives Sixty seats
have been allotted to the French
press.
Program Up to CIemenceau.
The program of arrangements. as
far as they have been settled, was
submitted to Premier Clemenceau
today.
The court of honor has been
cleared of captured guns. Three
regiments of infantry and five of
cavalry will be on duty at the time.
Republican guards in gala uniform
will render the honors. They will
be stationed on the grand staircase
by which the plenipotentiaries en-
ter the hall.
According to the Havas agency,
diplomatic relations with Germany
will not be resumed Immediately on
the signing of the treaty, but only
after its ratification. This also ap-
plies to the admission of German
subjects into France.
One Hundred Delegates TO Sign.
Fronting NJ. Clemenceau's presi-
Dental chair will be placed a small
table on which the diplomatic in
struments will be laid. It will be
to this table that each representa-
tive is called in alphabetical order
to sign his name to the treaty and
affiX to it his governmental seal.
As there are 100 delegates, the
ceremony is expected TO take at
least 80 minutes.
1t is as yet uncertain whether
M. Clemenceau will make a speech.
1t is considered as not unlikely that
the Germans will raise a last pro-
test at the moment of signing.
