COX ASSAILS
HARDING'S TALK
His Statement Regarding France an At
tempt to Deceive Americans-COX
at Nashua.

NASHUA, y. H., Oct. 10. - Senator
Harding's statement regarding alleged
French overturcs toward a new ass0cia-
ton of nations was hailed by Governor
Cox of Ohio in speeches through New
England today as a blunder and an at
tempt to deceive the American people
The Democratic presidential candidate
said:
After President Wilson had asked
him if he had really stated that France
had been guilty of such a breach of in
ternat:onal manners he complained that
he did not see how his words could be
misconstrued as meaning that France
had sent her spokesman to him when all
he meant was that there had been those
who spoke a sentiment which they rep
resented to be very manifest among the
French people. The fact justities the
conclusion that Senator Harding has
stupidity though deliberately attempted to
deceive the people of the United States.
After talking to the king of French
humorists he leaves the direct Inference
in his statement that the people OF
Franco. through a governmental agent
were conveying to him their dissatlstac-
ton with the league when all the world
| knows the exact opposite is the truth. II
| is conduct so reprehenslble as not TO b'
excused as stupid blunder."
The governors reference to the king
of French humorists'' was apparently. K

night.

ors who had deliberated more than 13
hours. recommended to the court that
clemency be shown the convicted man
who testified that he fired under an ir-
rcsiStible impulse when he found Dunn
in the arms of Mrs. Brown.
Just before noon the jury came in
and asked for instructions as to the pen
atty for murder in the second degree.
Judge Kivel sent them back without the
information. telling them that the ques-
tion of penalty had nothing to do with
their deliberations and that it was their
duty to decide as to the guilt or inno-
cence of the accused.
Neither of the women involved in the
case. Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Dunn, was
in the court room when the verdict was
announced. 1t was received quietly by
Brown. who showed no trace of emotion.
Dunn was killed as he left the Brown
home on Feb. g.. Mrs. Brown testified
during the trial that she had been meet
ing him cIandestinely for two years be-
fore the shooting and that her husband
had demonstrated with her at times for
allowing Dunn's attentions.
Judge John Kivel set Browns SEN
tence at from five to seven years in the
state prison. Brown took it calmly and
asked permission of the sheriff to go to
his home for a short visit to arrange
some affairs there before he began his
sentence,

Police Obliged to Disperse
Crowd of Extremists in
WEIGH Town
NEGOTIATION OR
DISSOLUTION
Parliament May Appeal to People With
Declaration That Wages Cannot Con-
Time TO Chase Prices-Evidences OF
NEGOTIATIONS Among Leaders.

LONDON, Oct. I9-The first incident
directly connected with the coal strike
occurred today at Ton-Y-Pandy in South
Wales at midnight, when some young col
hers collected and started to sing the
Red Flag, causing the police to intervene.
Some stone throwing occurred, but the
crowd dispersed upon appeals by the po-
lice, although later windows IN ponce
stations were smashed. The incident,
while a small one, has been taken by
many as indicating the temper OF the
miners in this section, which observers
of conditions report is a hotbed OF eX-
tremists. who are determined to fight to
a finish.
The town where the rioting occurred
was the scene of desperate rioting during
the coal strike of 1912.
Rumors in political quarters today
dealt mainly with two suggestions, one
that as the result of certain private dis
cussions of political leaders and prom
nent labor men the government ana the
miners federation would soon negotiate
The other that the government was
contemplating dissolution OF paillaIleIil 81
to test the opinion of the nation. In tht
latter case the government, 1t IS sald
would appeal to the country with tht
declaration that the chase OF wages attel
prices could not continue and that the
demand of the miners had been resisted
to protect the community. ~,
Another version of the government
possible course in such a contingency
would be to challenge. the judgment o
the people whether the supremacy o
the parliament was to be OverthroWn ah'
he replaced by the ascendency OF ONT
class of the community witt.
This afternoon the crowd in White
hall opposite Downing street increased
There was an unusually big gathering
also at the parliament building awaiting

while Trafalgar square at the opposite
end of Whitehall was jammed with peeo
pie pushing about rather almlessly
