Miners Are Faced
 With Starvation
 Because of Tie-Up

Charleston, w. Va, Aug. 13.- Thousands of miners and their fam lilies in the Logan, Coal River and Cabin Creek fields face starvation in the next two or three days and now actually are suffering privations as the result of the freight and passen- ger tie-up on branch lines of the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad caused by the shopmen's strike, according to word received here today by coal companies which operate in that section, more than 300 mines have been closed down and 30,000 men thrown out of work by the strike, reports said.
 On account of the rough noun tainous topography of the country surrounding the mine fields it is inn possible to transport foodstuffs by other means than railroad to feed the 125,0O0 population there. The desperate situation of the mining communities, it is said, will be plac- ed before a meeting of striking shop. men tonight at Huntington.

Urges Municipal
 Ownership for
 Railway Problem

Washington, Aug. 13.-Municipal ownership is the only solution of the American street railway problem public control of private lines hay ing broken down, according to Delos F. Wilcox, New York franchise ex- pert, who testified today before the federal electrical railway commission Drawing from an experience with trolley matters running back over many years, and particularly upon his present connection with investiga- tion of the affairs of the Public Ser vice Railway company of New Jersey MT. Wilcox said there was no escape from the logic of conditions, pointing to the handling of urban transporta- tion as an essential public service and not for private profit.
 The street railway problem. he said narrowed down to four questions that
 must be determined: first, whether the investment should be rega,bled as speculative one or be guaranteed; second, whether the business was to be conducted primarily for service or for profit; third, whether continuity of service was not to be guaranteed, outlawing suspension drought strike, and fourth. whether public or private agencies should own and operate the roads.

TO LEASE
 C0VERNME ENT OIL
 LANDS APPROVED
Senate Committee Also FayOrs Development of Mineral
 Properties.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Favorable report on the bill for the leasing of government owned oil, coal, phospate and sodium lands for the purpose of stimulating production was ordered today by the Senate Public Lands committee. The vote was unanimous.
 The bill virtually is the same as that passed by both houses of the last congress, but which failed be- cause the senate did not adopt the conference report.
 Under the bill an oil propector would receive title to one fourth of the 2,560 acres allotted him under his prospecting permit at a fixed royalty of five percent and preference right to lease the other three fourths at a royalty to be fixed by the secretary of the interior, but at not less than one eight of gross production.
 Oil land within producing fields would be leased in plots of $40 acres at royalty of not less than one eighth or more than one fourth of the oil produced. Issuance of these leases would be by competitive bid ding however.
 Prospectors would be able to lease maximum of 2,560 acres of coal land on a basis of from five to twenty cents a ton, but provisions authoriz- ing the sale of coal lands was elimi- mated. Alaskan coal land is not af- fected.
 Royalties for the leasing of phos- phate lands would be 2 per cent on the gross value of output and for sodium lands it would be one eighth of the value of the output.
 It is proposed that 45 per .cent of the royalties received under the bill shall be paid to the states in which the government land is located; 45 per cent to the reclamation fund and 10 per cent to the federal treasury

ENGLAND PLANS ADJUSTMENT OF RELATIONS HERE Financial Dealings of War to Be Taken Up By Ambas-
 sadOr. WITH U. s.
 ARE TO BE RECAST Charges of Interference With Amer. ican Commerce by British War ! Ships Also Have Not Been
 Settled.

Washington, Aug. 13.-1t is under stood that questions between the United States and Great Britain which are to be taken up with the United States government by Visc- ount Grey, the new British Ambassa- dor, will include a readjustment of the complicated financial relations be- tween Great Britain and the United States, growing out of loans and cred it's advanced to the English govern ment during the war.
 There also must be an almost im- mediate recasting of many existing treaties between the two countries, necessitated by the radical changes following the war. Many of these conventions date back for more than a century and were said by officials to have been applied to modern con- ditions only by the exercise of the greatest liberality of construction. The LaFollette shipping law swept away completely one treaty relat- ing to the rights and duties of sailors and port authorities, and this never has been replaced
 In the early days of the war there were many issues between the state department and the British foreign office growing out of interference with American commerce by British warships and British orders in coun- cil, and the many claims for dam ages by American ship owners and merchants pending when the United States entered the war, still techni- cally are open. Earl Grey was the British secretary for foreign affairs when these issues arose and conduc- ted the negotiations for his govern- ment.
 Affects Mexican Policy.
 There has been a suggestion, too, that conditions in Mexico were such as to demand consideration of an in- ternational basis in view of the large interests of foreign investors and es- pecially British in that country. For a number of years the British gov ernment has refrained from enforcing demands upon Mexico for reparatio)l for the killing of British subjects and for heavy monetary losses in inflicted upon British individuals, preferring to leave to the United States the adop- tion of measures to meet these condi- tions. !,
 It is believed now that one of the first duties of Viscount Grev, will be to attempt a permanent settlement of the British issues with the Mexican government after reaching satisfac- tory understanding with the American state department.

NEW ARREST IN MAIL THEFT IS EXPECTED SOON Half of $12,00O Packets RecOv- cred Through Confession of
 Clerk. ACCUSED IMPLICATES
 ANOTHER IN DEFENSE Man Under Arrest Says Another Not an Employe of the Post office Has Remainder of
 Money.

 Six thousand dollars of the money stolen was recovered early yesterday morning by Postoffice Inspector s. E. Seigfried and Assistant Postmaster C. E. Duvall following a confession by N. T. McCann, mail clerk who was arrested Tuesday night for rifling United States mail. McCann con fessed to having stolen the packets but implicated another who, he said, secured half of the money. Following his confession, he went with MT. Seigfried and MT. Duvall and Sheriff c. M. Nichol in the latter's car to his home at 1908 West Sixth where the stolen money was found. Part of the money had been secreted in fruit jar in an outhouse, and the remainder, excepting $5 which he spent, was found in the dining room of his house under a box of break fast food.
 Other arrests are expected at an early date the inspector said.
 Ex0nerates Employees.
 McCann implicated another party in his statement to the officers, and yesterday efforts were made to To- cate this party. No arrests were made however. Postoffice Inspec- tor R. N. North of Memphis, arrived here yesterday to assist the local in- spectator. Representatives of the in- surance company have not yet put in an appearance, it is said.
 After the recovery of the money yesterday morning, McCann was lodged in the county jail where he now is. He has not yet had pre- liminary examination, and is as yet without bond.
 In his statements to MT. Duvall, McCann relieved any one else in the postoffice of suspicion. "I know I am ruined but don't want to cause trou- ble for an innocent man," he is said to have declared.

A search in the basement revealed bits of special delivery mail which had been concealed in different places. These scraps were taken to the office of Inspector Seigfreid Tuesday night. Later McCann was brought to the office and asked what he knew about the bits of mail. He de- nied all knowledge of the torn letters, and of the stolen money at first, but after about three hours quizzing, made a statement privately to MT. Duvall. Affidavits were taken, after which he took the officers to his home where the money had been hid.
 McCann has been an employe of the postoffice about two years, con- ing here from near Malvern. He is said to have served three years in the navy, and for short while, worked here as a member of the fire depart ment force. It is said that he was . hard worker, and had good record. record.

Peoria, H., Aug. 13.-Three per- sons were shot and seriously wound ed and score of other persons re- ceived cuts and bruises when several hundred strikers and sympathizers charged upon the Keystone Wire and Steel company's plant in South Bar tonville, suburb near here tenight.
 Late tonight Gov. Lovlen at Springfield ordered the tenth illinois infantry to come here for strike duty.
 A handful of deputy sheriffs who have been guarding the plant where a strike of 800 workers had Seen in progress for several weeks, ffught off the rioters, returning vollly for volley, and late tonight it was be- lieved the worst of the storm had passed.
 Sporadic outbreaks continued throughout the day and resulted in the shooting and slightly wosnding of two strikers who had fired on the de- puties.
 The first outbreak came when a truck load of strike breakers were carried to the plant under protection of deputy sheriffs. The rioters charged that it was only after sharp clash, that they were driven off.
 The principal outbreak tonight fol- lowed the shooting of a woAfan by a sniper near the plant. She was only slightly injured. Women sided with the rioters and hurled missiles at the strike breakers and deputies.
 The crowd was finally dispersed, but formed again when time came for officials to leave the plant,
 The first shots were fired by a special deputy, one of force of 25 armed men under the personal direc- tion of Sheriff Hines. The deputy is reported to have fired nine Aots before an answering volley was re- turned by the strikers.
 Among those shot were Reuben and Alvin Sommers, both youths of 19 whose fathers are employed in the plant as executives. The BNys were shot in the face as they left the plant.
 Early tonight the immediate vici- nity of the plant was deserted, but hidden in the bushels and trees on the hillside were several hundred strik- CTS, armed with rifles and shotguns, who kept continuous hail of lead pouring into the plant. The shots were frequently returned from the plant buildings.
 At midnight, however, the plant was in darkness and there had been no firing for an hour.
