OPPOSITION
TOUR PLANNED
League Opponents to Make
Speaking Campaign of
Country.

Washington, Aug. 29.-While Presi-
dent Wilson is on his speech making
tour, republican senators opposed to
ratification of the German treaty and
entry of the United States into the
proposed league of nations plan to
deliver a series of addresses them
selves in various parts of the coun-
try.
Senator johnson, of California, will
be the chief spokesman on the stump
for the presidential senatorial op-
ponents. He said today that he
planned "a speaking drive straight
to the Pacific coast" His voice prob
ably will be raised against the treaty
in California about the same time
the president is engaged in urging its
acceptance by the senate.
Senator Borah, of Idaho; POindeX-
ter. of Washington, and Sherman, of
Illinois, republicans, and Reed, OF
Missouri, democrat, who all are
avowed advocates of rejection of the
treaty, plan to speak also in as many
places as they can whenever their
senatorial duties will permit them to
absent themselves from Washington.
Other uncompromising opponents
of the treaty, like Senators Lodge,
Massachusetts,; Knox, Pennsylvania.
and Moses, New Hampshire. may
also deliver addresses in criticism of
the treaty and of the presidents
course in different cities of states.
johnson at Baltimore.
Johnson virtually opened his speak
ing campaign last night when he ap-
peared. with Senator Reed, at a mass
meeting held in Baltimore under the
auspices of the League for the Pre-
scrvation of American Independence.
Both he and Senator Reed bitterly
attacked the Shantung and other
provisions of the treaty. Senator
johnson charged that Great Britain,
France, Italy and Japan divided the
spoils of the war under the guise of
secret treaties, and that during the
war, when representatives of these
four powers were appealing from the
rostrum of the United States senate,
a privilege that had not been ac-
corded any foreigner since La Fay
cites visit, to the lofty sentiments
and altruistic purposes of the Ameri-
can people, their very pockets were
bulging with the secret treaties that
they had n lde amopg themselves for
the partition of the world and the
distribution of the spoils of the war;"

Mrs. Tucker Gets More :.
Time to File Appeal
Extension of Thirty Days Is
Granted BY Chancellor
Garvin,

An order was entered in the
chancery court Thursday granting an
extension of thirty days on the ap-
peal filed by Mrs. w. G. Tucker in
connection with the recent decision
on the divorce suit brought by her
against Walter G. Tucker.
An effort made several days ago
by Harry f. Newton, attorney for
Mrs. Tucker, to secure an extension
resulted in securing five days, pc
riod of time which was supplemented
yesterday by the addition of thirty
days. thereby giving Mrs. fuckers
attorney an opportunity to furnish
more evidence for her appeal against
Chancellor w. b. Garvlns decision.
1t is stated by Mr.. Newton that
fuckers attorneys have been maxi
ing an effort to dissolve the injunc-
ton, which prevents Tucker from
selling any Of his property to pay his
personal debts, since Mrs. Tucker
still retains an interest in the house
at st. Elmo and other belongings.
The injunction though contested, still
stands however

CHAMBER ASKS
HINESFOR CARS
Telegram Tells Director That
Otherwise Coal Shortage
Inevitable. 4
MINES CURTAIL OUTPUT

AS a result of representation made
to the Chattanooga Chamber of Com
merce, a telegram was sent Friday to
fhe director general of railroads at
Washington, emphasizing the coal
shortage in this city and territory and
asking that steps be taken to bring
about relief. According to infor-
nation furnished the chamber, the
shortage is due to lack of cars which
in turn makes it impossible for the
mines to operate and ship anything
like their maximum. 1t has been
learned on good authority that the
car shortage is explained by the or
ders issued by the railroad admins
tration to lines serving Chattanooga
that they furnish empty coal cars to
other sections of the country.
The telegram sent Director Gen
eral Hines follows:
Owing to the fact that large num-
ber of coal cars have been transferred
from the c., N. O. & T. p. and N, c.
& st. L. railways to foreign lines, the
mines sin this district are only able to
operate 80 per cent. of the time. If
this situation continues it will unques-
tionably result in a coal famine as there
is not over two weeks supply of steam
and domestic coal in this territory. We
suggest the immediate return of the
equipment belonging to this territory
or any other quick method of relief that
may occur to you"
It is stated that only a comparatively
small part of the domestic consumers
have put in their winters supply of
COAL the retailers are already selling
from their reserve supply of fuel. An
other factor to which attention is called
is that the railroads have not begun
to store for their own winter use. When
that annual practice begins the situ-
of less coal on the market and less ca~s
to ship it in, as much of the railroads
reserve supply is kept in cars.
Directors of the Chattanooga Cham
Der OF Commerce Friday voted that the
organization add its signature to the
Warlield memorial regarding railroad
legisltion. The memorial does not go
into the details of recommending Just
what form such legislation should take,
but emphasizes what Is represented to
be the fundamental basis of successful
legislation on the subject, namely, a
guarantee that an adequate return be
provided for on railroad investments
The figure fixed upon as adequate in
the memorial is per cent. Among the
arguments set forth in support Of the
claim that adequate return should he
guaranteed is the fact that many in
surance companies have large holdings
of railroad securities, so that the in
terests of policy holders are at stake.
1t is also brought out that in creating
the federal reserve system the invest
ment was fixed by statute to earn 6 per
cent. The memorial, it is understood,
may be presented to congress next
week. The Warield plan was submit
ted originally at the last session of
congress.

Washington, Aug. 2s.-As reg

committee investigating the war that
criminal prosecutions may be taken
by the government in connection with
the construction of the Muscle Shoals
nitrate plant, Chairman Graham has
announced that the plans for having

animation of witnesses, had been

Construction Of the Muscle Shosfs
plant cost the government many
millions OF dollars and there have
been insistent charges Of waste and
extravaganza. Chairman Graham,
commenting on this feature. said he
was convinced by information in the
the hands of the committee that some
of the charges were true.
No decision has been made by de-
partment officials regarding prose-
cutions, but Mr.. Palmer said the
prosecuting officers would soon begin
a review of the agents data now
practically complete, to determine III

he would not now ask the full com
mittee to seek to force the depart
ment TO comply with the request fol-

Mr.. Palmer was called before the
committee after Robert Stewart, an
assistant, had declined to produce the
evidence, and in backing UP his as
sstnnts position the attorney, general
made 10 plain fhht he regarded 1t as
his duty to refuse the committee re-
quest, since he had the responsibility
reinforcing the law. The department
