You are fully authorized to repeat
and If necessary publish in Mexico my
statement to yoa that although / have
been called an interventionist, am
absolutely opposed to armed inter-
vention in Mexico except as an a3

sire is for some friendly solution OF

people and the government and the
people of the United States.
IF You publish this statement I
insist that you publish also the fol-
lowing evidence: Truth of above

Soon, Fraser Asserts

Buffalo. y. Y, Dec. 9.-Great Britain
will in a few days offer complete home
rule TO Ireland. Sir John Foster
Fraser. member Of the British delega-
ton to the Peace Conference, said in
an address here today. Referring to
Inc league of nations, he said that
the United States, by refusing to en-
ter. would be forced TO become. for
its own self protection, the greatest
impeIialistic power the world has
known since Germany was over

Great Britain and other Europeans
would rather have the United States
remain outside the league than, enter
it with feelings Of distrust and fear
of British domination, ne said.

Police Have No Clue in Case
Of Driver Missing
36 Hours.

Police authorities of Washington
and Virginia are conducting a
search for Kenneth NJ. F. SPRING
man. of Alexandria. Va. who has
been missing for more than thirty
six hours Thus far there Is no
clue to his whereabouts.

of this city. returned from his
bread delivery. which carried him
as far as Occoquan and Hoadty.
Va. Monday afternoon. Having
completed collections. he returned
to Alexandria shortly after 4
O'Clock. He then teIephoned his
wife that his work would bring
him to Washington. and that he
would not be home until after 6
O'Clock.
What happened on his Journey
from Alexandria to Washington is
what puzzles the police. SPRING
mans truck. deserted. first was seen
at o'clock yesterday morning near
Four Mile Run by another bread
driver. who passed on, giving the
matfeFz ltttte' attention. When Il
developed, however, that Springman
was missing. a search was insti-
tuted.
The police boat of the Harbor
precinct last night dragged the
river for Springman's body. The
search was futile.
Alexandria police officials discovered
that Springman, at the time of his
disappearance. had more than 500 in
his possession, representing the col
lections he made for bread during
Mondays trip.
Washington and Virginia police
unite in the belief that Springman
may have been robbed and assaulted,
perhaps murderously. and his body
disposed of.
Springman is P cousin of Headquar-
tiers Detective James "A. Springman,
of Washington. He is married and
has a child. His wife is a public
school teacher. He formerly was en-
ployed as a driver for the Corby Bak-
cry in Alexandria, and had been with
the local bread concern about a
month.

$500, 900, 600 LOST
DURING THE STRIKE

All eyes yesterday were turne
towards Indianapolis and the ns
ton held its breath waiting fo
word from the conference be
tween representatives of tn
President and the coal miner
which would mean either tina
the impending coal famine wa
averted or that the governmeu
would be up against the aIterna
tive of permitting the operation
TO increase the price of coal in os
der TO advance wages to the min
crs or that some frmer STAN
would have to be taken invoIy
ing. perhaps, the use Of the mill
tary.
No Statement.
All day long the conflicting reporu
were circulated as coming from
Indianapolis. first 10 the effect thu
the miners had accepted the Presi
dents proposal and then that the con
ference had adjourned without hsv
ing reached an agreement or that 4
was tied up by a wrangie anon
various factions Of the miners.
Statements were prepared here bod
by the Railroad Administration Am
by Representatives Of the coal Oh
orators anticipating a favorable deci
sion at indianapolis but were with
held from the press pending the deci
sion.
DR.. GARFIELD. Federal Fuel Admin
lstrator, declined to make a state
ment on any contingency. He spen
the entire afternoon closeted with
officials Of his own bureau in a con
Terence. the results of which or IN.
subject discussed. could not be n,
eertained- Following the coufereno,
he notified members OF the pres
who were waiting that he wouE
make no statement.
Later. however. while on his wa,

eral. DR.. Garfield was asked TO com
ment upon storiet sppea, %
morning papers to the effect tha
the tribunal proposed TO be created
by the President would. in effect
supersede the authority OF the Fus
Administrator.
DR. Garfield declined to comneni
further than TO say that the position
he would occupy ia the event In.
Presidents proposal to the miners wsi
accepted, would be the same that h,
has occupied heretofore.
The operators. who held a meetinI
yesterday afternoon at which a state.
ment was prepared for publication OF
the assumption that the miners would
accept the Administration's PROPOSE
iion, withheld the statement. fearinf
that any comment from them nigh
| prove false step until the strike wal
definitely settled.
In a rough calculation IL was es-
timated by a member of the execu-
tive committee OF the operators that
since November l the country had
lost 100000 tons Of coal as a -
suit Of the strike. and that the min.
ers had lost between $50. 900. 900 and
sG5.o00.e0O in wages. This oficial
cStimsted that the total loss to the
industry OF the country through tn,
strike would range from 500. .O5O. .OOC
to 5000. .OOO. 600.
