President Active
 Despite Illness
IRepubliean A. p. Leased wire1

WASHINGTON, Oct 20-Announce- ment today that President Wilson had appointed Owen D. Young, of Schen- ectady, N. Y, as a member of the pub lie group of the national industrial conference was cited by White House officials as refuting reports that Mir. Wilson's illness had rendered him in capable of attending to any business.
 These officials said it was not the first official action the president had taken since he became ill. Rear Ad- miral Grayson, his personal physician, it was asserted, however, would con- tinue to do what he can to dissuade the patient from giving his attention to any affairs other than those re- garded as absolutely essential
 Dr. Grayson at 10:30 tonight issued the following bulletin:
 "The president has had better day than usual"
 The appointment of Mir. Young was considered necessary inasmuch as a place in the public group of industrial conference had been vacated by the i'll health 6t Fuller Galloway, the dele gate originally appointed.
 Unofficial reports at the White House indicated the presidents con- dition had changed but little through out the day, although a correction of his digestive disturbances on Sunday had been effected. There was nothing in the conversations about the offices of the White House to indicate a re- currence of his glandular ailment and members of his household who are more familiar with his condition than any other displayed throughout the day an air of optimism.

Radicals Pollute Government
 Offices Charges Sen. Watson

of the meat packers who, he declared,
 should be punished if guilty of the
 charges made against them, Senator Watson told the senate his contention
 was that American business should not be investigated by men who avow a determination to destroy it and that
 the government should not be repre-
 sented by those who preach a doctrine
 of it's overthrow.
 Declaring that the Chicago office
 of the trade commission from which the packers investigation was con-
 ducted were "a center of sedition and anarchy-a nesting place for social ists," Senator Watson went through
 the list of men employed by the com
 mission in the investigation and
 charged various ones with being pro- German, anti-ally admirers of Lenine and TrotZky, advocates of a soviet
 form of government, participants in red demonstrations and parades, and disseminations of socialist propa- ganda

.M otberhO0d Out
 Of WedJock Is
 Plea of Doctor

NEW YORK, Oct. 2o.-A plea for motherhood out of wedlock was made today at the International conference of woman physicians by pr. Anna Moutet of France.
 "ln country the population of which is decreasing" she said, "it is important above all to favor the rate of birth by every means, to do away with all obstacles in the protection of all children indis- criminately.
 Motherhood outside of marriage must no longer be held as a dis grace or burden. The girl mother must be lifted. The prejudice which makes her an object of gen. eral censure must be combatted; and if irregular birth is no longer a disgrace to the child neither must it be dishonor to the mother. She must find in society for herself and for her child the support which in the past was re- fused her."
 Describing what France has done in the matter, Dr.. Moutet said:
 The law has assured the pro- lection of the child born out of wedIock, first in creating a bond of right between him and his par ents when that is possible; then in assisting the mother when she is alone and without resources and finally in landing full responsibil- ity in rearing the ehild."

AMERICAN BODY GUARD RE AWARDED BY KING ALBERT
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

ON BOARD KING ALBERT'S SPECIAL TRAIN, Oct. 20.-Regula- tions of the state department forbids it's representatives to wear foreign decorations. That is the reason J. M. Wye, chief special agent, personally responsible for the safety of King AL bert of Belgium and in charge of the royal special train, is not wearing to- day one of the most coveted honors the Belgian monarch can bestow. His Majesty called Nye into his private car as the train was speeding across Kansas and pinned on his breast the medal which made him a chevalier of the Order of Leopold.
 Bill" he said, T would like to pre- sent you with this in appreciation of your services. If every one who wears this order were as clever as you it would be the first order in the world"
 Nye will turn the decoration in to the state department to be returned to him when he leaves the service. It will be one of his most cherished pos sessions.
 At Syracuse, Kansas, where the train stopped for water, crowd of several hundred gathered and King Albert and the prince spoke to as many as they could in the brief stop. The queen did not appear, which fact pro- voked a typically American salute from the crowd
 Where's the queen?" some one in the crowd shouted. we want to see what kind of judgment you used" His Majesty responded with a speech. thanking the citizens of Syracuse for their interest in them. He inquired especially about the school children and shook hands warmly with their teachers.
 At Mayline, the special stopped half an hour for the passengers to take a little exercise. Albert tramped through an alfalfa field while the queen. dressed in white, and carrying a para sol, strolled down a dusty road. When the engine whistle shrieked a warning that the train was about to start, Eliz- abeth hastened her steps, but was sent to the side of the road when an auto mobile honked warning of it's ap- proach, the driver ignorant of the fact that he was sending a cloud of dust into the face of the queen of the Bel gians.
 The prince wandered afield to throw stones at a telegraph pole and his par ents thought to give him little fright by starting the train, but their son outwitted them by cutting across fields on the dead run and climbing aboard the rear car.

PRAYER FUR DIVINE
 GUIDANCE SHOULD BE DEMOCRATIC IN FORM

DETROIT, Mich. Oct. 20.-Petitions for divine guidance and protection for the president of the United States should be democratic in form, the house of bishops decided today in re- fusing to concur in action by the house of deputies of the Protestant Episcopal church, in convention here, to retain the old form of prayer. The bishops endorsed the new form of the prayer, rejected last week by the deputies, which also contained a plea for safe- guarding the nation.
 It was the contention that the old prayer, modelled after that for the monarch of England in the English prayer book, presented too strongly a plea for the man and not for the of flee. The house of deputies was asked to concur in adopting the new form.
 By action of the house of bishops. also. Thanksgiving day is to be created holy day of the church. Concurrence of the deputies is necessary.
 In both houses progress was made today in revision of the prayer book, the bishops ratifying many of the amendments made by the deputies and the latter adopted further changes.
 Agreement has been reached in the
 
 Congregational church whereby Con- gregational ministers may be ordained to preach in the Episcopal church. An amendment has been proposed to the church constitution, which, if adopted at this meeting and ratified in 1922, will remove any obstacles to g1ve Episcopal ordination to ministers of other faiths. Before the next conven- ton an Episcopal commission is to confer with the congregations sigma tories to the concordat with a view to widening it's scope.
 In one respect today was notable in church history in that a high prelate ! of the Roman Catholic church, Cardi- nal Mercier of Belgium, appeared be- fore and addressed the convention, the cardinal appearing on invitation of the house of deputies. He expressed a sympathetic desire for concord in divine worship and voiced apprecia- tion for Americas help to Belgium during the war.
 There is communion of our minds, our hearts, our souls in the respect and worship of a common ideal" de- clared the cardinal. We are breth- ern in Christian faith. We are at his moment, I think. to unite our efforts to show the world that our brotherly feeling is only corollary of the fath- erhood of God"

BRITISH DELEGATES
 NOT AFTER SPECIAL
 CREDIT EXTENSION

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Oct. 20.- British financial delegates to the in- ternational trade conference, which opened here today, told their Amer lcan conferees that they sought no spe- cial credit arrangement or govern ment intervention, but simply asked that business transactions go on as before. This announcement came as a surprise to the general body of dele- gates, especially as sub-committees of many foreign missions asked for Amer ican financial assistance and set forth that extension of credits was vitally necessary in order that they might suc- cessfully meet the reconstruction prob- lems of their respective countries.
 The British point of view was set forth at meeting of American and English credit and finance men by Sir James Hope Simpson.
 "The vast majority of Britishers never enter into contract unless they can see their way clear to pay" he said. We have not come to ask help of any organization. We ask only that no obstruction be placed in the way of ordinary normal business trans actions"

Revival of Hun Opera Arouses
 Ex-Serviice Men
rRepubIIcan A. p. Leased wire1

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-Despite deci- sion by Mayor Hylan that German opera had not been given in New York until the peace treaty was signed, Die Meistersinger" was presented in Ger man at the Lexington theater tonight while thousands of soldiers, sailors, marines and civilians fought with the police in an attempt to reach the thea ter and stop the production.
 Several shots were fired as the form CT men time and again charged the police lines or laid down a barrage of bricks, stones and other missiles in an attempt to force their way through.
 Soon after the performance started, a crowd of about 300 service men were driven away from the vicinity of the theater but after reaching Times Square were reinforced and about 1000 strong, started back only to be met by a squad of mounted police which scat tered them. During the remainder of the performance the crowd fought valiantly to reach the theater but failed.
 Reports during the early evening as to whether the performances would be presented were confusing alike to service men and patrons. Police sta toned around the theater notified both that the play would not be given. Mayor Hylan had prohibited it, they said. Mayor Hylan said so himself in statement early in the night after he had been requested by the Ameri- can legion to stop the opera. But the sale of tickets continued and the cur tain was rung up at the scheduled time.
 An announcement was then made by the mayor that he had failed to reach the corporation counsel to learn whether he had legal right to order the police to prevent patrons enter ing the theater. Because of this fail ure the mayor said he therefore ad vised the police not to interfere until I could obtain advice of the corpora tion counsel to the end that I may proceed legally.
 Just before the curtain was raised on the opera, Henry B. Herts, business manager of the opera, rushed to the stage and announced
 "The performance will be given to night even if I am arrested. I want to thresh this thing out in court" The fighting between the police and groups of. service men lasted until midnight but only few persons were injured as far as the police could learn. although scores had felt the weight of the officers night sticks and few officers had been struck by mis- siles

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-On the eve of a conference called by the secre- tary of labor in the hope of averting the strike of thousands of bituminous coal miners set for November l, John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, announced tonight that the strike order would not be rescinded unless operators met all demands, including the five day week.
 Unless the strike order is withdrawn. the operators will not enter into nego- tlations looking to an adjustment of the differences, according to Thomas T. Brewster, head of the coal operators committee. The conference tomorrow will be attended by Secretary Wilson and the full scale committees repre- senting miners and operators, each comprising 32 members but the gen. eral view of each group was that noth- ing would come out of the meeting. Secretary Wilson, acting as govern ment mediator. by direction of the presidents cabinet, still was hopeful tonight, however, that the factions would get together and not plunge the country into strike at the beginning or winter with not more than A
 
 months stock of coal on hand.
 After conferring with members of the miners committee who arrived here during the day, President Lewis de- elared there would be no compromise or any of the issues involved, reiter- ated that the old war time wage agree ment went out of existence with the end of hositilities nearly a year ago and that operators could meet the new wage demands without increasing the cost of coal Lewis entered yigorous denial of reports that in standing ont for the five day week the mine work CTS were trying to force through an tra-radieal doctrine.
 Although the full scale committees fix the pay in the central competitive held embracing Indiana, Illinois. Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, Lewis ex- pia1ned that the strike order affected oltuminous miners everywhere who. he said, will quit work the first of next month unless some agency meanwhile can prevent it.

ARBITRATION IF STEEL STRIKE |S OPPOSED BY CARY
Steel Leaders, in First Pub lie Pronouncement, Ob- ject to Action by Confer -~e-Hope of Agreeing

Republican A. %ifI. ire7

WASHINGTON, Oct. his first pronouncement before the national in dustrial conference, Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel corporation, sitting as a representative of the public, today re- affirmed his position that the steel strike should not be arbitrated or compromised' and objected to action on that issue by the conference.
 The steel official also re-stated with out modification his belief in the open shop and the right to determine terms of employment between employe and employer
 This statement brought from Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor and leader of the labor group in the conference the charge that Judge Gary was taking the attitude that there is no other opinion in the matter"
 Referring to the corporation chair mans request that the conference take no action in the strike, the labor leader declared that if the real industrial is sues were to be brushed aside there was no purpose in continuing the con- ference.
 While the clash of the two leaders on the conference floor admittedly further removed the hope of an agree ment on the dominant issue of collec- tive bargaining, prospects of concilia- tion were considered still more remote tonight when it was permitted to be- come known that the representatives of capital, after an all day session were steadfast in their refusal to &C., cept the Russell -Endicott resolution for recognition of collective bargain ing, which has been approved by the public and labor groups. The employers again went into session tonight but the members of the group privately ad- mitted that reconvening of the confer ence tomorrow would probably find them still in no mood to yield on the vital point of dealing with labor repre- sentatives chosen outside their own plants.
 The general committee of Is will meet at 9:30 o'clock tomorrow morning l and the representatives of the employ CTS will attend with instructions from their group. The conference adjourned today to meet also at g.: 30 o'clock but | Secretary Lane, chairman, will not cal the meeting until the general commit | tee is ready to report.
