PREMIER IS FIRM
Lloyd George Refuses To Deal
With Strikers.
Many Railroad Locals Urge Re-
turn to Work.
WITHHOLD WEEKS PAY
Premier Holds Men Must Set
tie Damage to Public.
Unions Claim SuccesS-MinerS'
Strike Threatens.

London, Oct 3.-Another attempt
1 to reopen negotiations between the
government and the striking railway
men was made shortly after noon to-
r day when labor leaders visited Pre-
mier Lloyd George with the hope of
3 resuming mediation.
Previously communique issued
from Downing street had stated that
up to 1880 o'clock no further appli-
cations for an interview with the pre-
mier had been made by labor repre-
sentatives. Conditions in traffic had
improved, the statement said.
The move today toward a renewal
of negotiations came in the midst of a
feeling of general disappointment over
the breakdown of yesterdays efforts
to reach an understanding. Officials
OF the National Union of Railway Men
announced that the government had
refused to make any concessions be-
yond those contained in the first Of
fer. The workers refused to return
without receiving a clearer idea of the
terms Of settlement.
Lloyd George Is Firm.
Premier Lloyd George insists the
men must resume work before nego-
tiations can be reopened. Many tele-
grams were received at the local head
quarters of the national union from
provincial branches today urging that
the premier's ultimatum be accepted,
but It was said by leaders of the or
ganization that the governments or
der Withholding the mems pay for the
last week they worked had precluded
resumption. Responsibility for with
holding the mems wages is assumed
by the government in statement is
sued from Downing street last night.
It reads as follows.
1.-The members of the National
Union of Railway men broke their
contracts and stopped work without
notice, in complete disregard of the
effect their action would have on the
persons and property of ordinary citi-
zens in their charge. They inflicted
damage on innumerable people, left
food upon which the public depended
for subsistence to go to waste, put
vast numbers to great expense by leav-
ing them stranded without convey
ances and inflicted great losses upon
many by preventing them from reach
ing destinations The damages to
which they are liable in law are vastly
greater than the amount now being
withheld.
Injury to Public.
s'If an early resumption of work
occurs, different considerations may
arise In the meantime, the country is
still subject to unexampled injury by
the railway mems action and in these
circumstances the government would
not be justified in handing over to the
strikers a sum which would be used
for proIonging a struggle undertaken
without any consideration for the well
fare Of the public and which is en-
daneering the whole life of the
nation" y
Newspapers which strongly support
the government claim the latter is
, winning and urge no surrender. me

IN LEAD
This County Had Largest Popu-
lation Increase Last Year.
Gain Almost One.Fourth That
of Whole State.

Nearly one-fourth of the entire pop
ulation growth of Kansas since March
1, 1913, is credited to Shawnee county.
The state population for March l,
1919, is given as 1.76o,27s, a gain of
25,637 in twelve months. The gain
in population credited to Shawnee
county is 6,21S,
The figures are compiled by the
county clerks and assessors and are
tabulated in the office of L. j. Petit
john, secretary of state. The COM
piliation shows that the trend of the
population is towards the cities and
away from the farms. Forty-seven
counties show decreases in population
for the year and in nearly every in
stance these counties are essential
ly farming communities. Shawnee,
Wyandotte and Sedgwick counties
show the largest gains in population.

FORTUNE TO EMPORIAN
Driver of Delivery Wagon Wins HE
ultimate Child Case.

Emporia, Kan. Oct. 3.-When Roy
Smith, driver of a delivery wagon,
went home to lunch Wednesday he
found a postal card informing him
that he had won a case in the state
supreme court and a fortune of $780,
600 was his. The case has been pend
ing in the courts for a long time, ana
is unusual from a legal standpoint.
For the first time in the history OF
the state the supreme court has ruled
that a child of illegitimate birth can
inherit money from grandparent
and the decision is said to be the flftn
of its kind in the United States. &C
cording to testimony introduced in the
case, which was begun in the Douglas
county district court, Smiths father
an Ohio farmer, became engaged to
neighbor girl A child was born but
the couple did not marry because OF
the fathers i'll health. Smiths granG-
parents brought him up, and upon the
death of the grandfather an estate OF
$1Oo 900 was left, Smith and grand
son of the deceased claimed the for
tune. Smiths mother was paralyzed
and could not testify as to his birth,
but enough evidence was produced TO
win the decision.

WANTS BOND SLICED
Pictro Pieri Files Habeas Corpus Pc
ti:ion Here Today.

Pietro Pieri, charged with threaten
ing the life of President Wilson, wants
his bond reduced to $1,000. In petit
ton filed today in the office of Frank
C. Campbell, clerk of the United
States court, PieFi asks that a writ of
habeas corpus be granted permitting
him to appear before Federal Judge
John c. Pollock and request the Sic
ing of $1,000 from his bond.
Pieri says first he is not guilty of
the charge. He claims that the $40
600 bond demanded before he can be
released is exorbitant under the charge
filed against him and that a S5,0OU
bond is sufficient. In addition, he
states that he was not given a proper
preliminary hearing in the United
States court at Cleveland where he
was arrested and was brought to To
peka for trial without a proper hear
ing. He is confined in the Shawnee
county Jail.

that the Bliss Triumph does not give
as large yields as other varieties,
such as the Irish Cobber.
These date bear out the Observa-
ticn that potatoes which are not at
tackled by Mosaic give larger yields,
for it is known that the Irish Cobber
is practically free from Mosaic, wher-
ever grown The Irish Cobbeler is a
good sized, white skinned potato,
rather flattened in shape, and having
deep set eyes 1t is also sold under
the name Of Cobbler.
The Early Rose is another spring
crop potatoes which has given good
rcsults, in some sections. A selection
Of this variety, known as Rose 4, is
raised extensively in the potato-grow-
ing sections of Florida.
Taking everything into considera-
ton, the Irish Cobbler is the variety
best adapted for spring crop potatoes
in all sections of Georgia. 1t is the
best yielder, and one of the earliest
maturing varieties grown. Growers
will do well to use the Irish CobbIer
for seed in preference to any other
variety which can be obtained for a
spring potato.

heavy increases will remember this
and use it.
The best thing that can possibly
happen with regard to future lights
and power in Cordelc is for the people
to take hold and operate for their own
interests. There is a handsome profit
TO be gained. We might have our own
white way and as many arc lights in
our streets as we chose then, and we
could have them at cost of production.
We might also have power to offer
local users at a lower cost. This would
argue with great force for more in
ductrics. The citizens of this commun-
ity have no idea what a remarkable
change it would bring about
If we have our own interests at
heart, we ought to stop long enough
to set our minds on the one purpose of
getting the franchise back into the
hands Of the people. This is d busy
community, full of busy business men
but they certainly have enoght time
to look after this thing. We sincerity
urge them to find out the wise course
to pursue and pursue that with a vim
and determination.
AS for us, there is but one thing
The sooner the light and power plant
is publicly owned, the better off will
the public be. We cannot desist. If
this be taken as a fight against for
cign capital, let them make the Most
Of it. Forign capital has no right to
lay mold of utility that belongs to
the public The laws of Georgia saw
that no private capital shall hold on
to such utility longer than the people
desire it. The owners of our plant
know this.

stead of hog products. They get it
minus the cost of the cans in which
is must be placed to ship to market
Then, too, most of our output is
shipped far to the north and east to
be manufactured into food products
We are fast learning that the same
thing that is done in the north can
be done here at home and the freights
saved We can make peanut butter
cheaper than the people of the distant
cities.

ica's use the seas. 1t was the acts of
Germany which drove the United
States government to war, but the at
titude of the Central Powers in their
contempt for the rights and majesty
of the United States government con
stituted the insult. The insult to the
United States flag and to the laws
and government of the states is as
definite and unmistakabIe in the
words of Mr. Debs and Mr.. Maurer
as it was from the German govern
ment The red flag has raised itself
against the Stars and Stripes, not
merely in an outword and symbolic
way, such as the kissing at the Unit
ed States flag expressed, but in very
real and actual way its antagonism
and defiance have been shown.
1t remains to be seen to what ex.
tent these voices for war and revolu-
ton represent the body in which they
find utterance. Meantime, the warn
ing is sounded. Citizens and denizens
of these United States may have to
receive a forceful lesson that the
changes and reforms upon which they
dream may not be made through de-
fiance of established laws. There is
room in the United States for all va
rieties of theories and schemes for
social improvement and the better
balance Of justice, so long as these
movements proceed within the laws,
but there never can be room in coun-
tries where law reigns for a flag
which is raised to shelter criminals
and encourage crimes.
