CANDIDATE TALKS
over R.R. TANCLE

MARION. O., July 12-The trans
portation and high cost OF living prob
lens were discussed at a conference
today between Senator Harding and
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, chairman
of the senate interstate commerce
committee, and J. l.. Taber, of Barnes
Vile, O., head of the Ohio State
Grange. Both came at the senator's
request.
Senator Cummins later to newspaper
correspondents emphasized the gravity
Of the railroad situation and the ne
cessity for the wise handling Of the
transportation problem but asserted
that every day furnishes a "vindica-
ton of the new railroad law" not only
as passed by the senate with the so
called anti-strike provision, but as fin.
ally approved by the president.
Preparatory to going into seclusion
to complete his speech accepting the
Republican presidential nomination
Senator Harding faced busy day to-
day with a number of engagements
scheduled

POLES DISSATISFIED With TERMS WHICH
WOULD LIMIT Them TO own BORDERS

SPA, July 12.-The Polish delega-
ton at the conference here is under
stood to be very much dissatisfied
with the terms of the allied note to
the Russian soviet government pro-
posing an armistice between the Boil
shevik and Polish armies. They feel,
however, that they will be obliged to
accept 1t.
Sundays dispatches announced the
sending of proposal by the allies to
the Moscow government for an arnis-
tice with Poland on condition that the
Poles retire within the natural Polish
frontier. 1t was set forth that the
armistice would be followed by con.
ference of representatives of all the
countries on the Russian border and
that if the Bolsheviki attacked the
Poles within these frontiers the allies
would come to the aid of Poland.
Conference Is RaIled
The German allied conference was
brought to a temporary halt this
morning by the coal question.
The allied premiers, who met at
10:30 o'clock, with Premier Lloyd
George presiding, to discuss the Ger
man reparations proposition and the

PRIORITY ORDER IS
DELAYING WORK HERE

Oren Miller, president Of a local
builders supply company, said Monday
that construction work in Richmond
has been delayed because cars are be-
ing used for coal that ordinarily would
be used for gravel, lime and roofing.
Materials shipped here from the cen
trail western and eastern states are
handicapped by the government pri-
ority. Materials from the southern
states, however, are on practically
a normal schedule, Miller says.
Practically every building now un-
der construction is being delayed by
shortage Of materials. The Bartel
factory building on South Eighth
street was to have been completed last
month. Delay in shipments, however,
has caused postponement until next
month.
The Romey building on Main street
was to have been finished last month.
The same conditions apply to the
Webb-Coleman building on North
| Ninth street, and the building planned
| by the Richmond baking company.

.zIMMERMANS
RECONC|LED AS
WOUND RESULT
Mayors Wife With Him as
He Receivers From Myster-
ious Attack Resulting in
Scalp Wound.
NOT SERIOUSLY HURT

After Mayor w. w. Zimmerman had
been injured Saturday evening, the
result of an attack made upon him by
an unknown assailant in the office of
his home, according to the mayors
statement to Chief of Police Wenger,
Mrs. Zimmerman, who separated from
her husband over week ago, visited
him at Reid Hospital, where, it is said.
they effected reconciliation.
Sunday morning Mayor Zimmerman.
accompanied by his wife, was removed
to his home, North Seventh and A
streets, and Monday Mrs. Zimmerman
continued in attendance on her hus-
band.
Mayor Zimmerman was able to get
about his home Monday, and 1t is be-
lieved he will be able to resume his
duties in two or three days.
Suffering From Scalp Wound.
The mayor is suffering from a Sc
we're scalp wound on the back Of
his head. He declares that as he was
about to place SIS in the safe in his
office, two men, one white and the
other colored, Unexpectedly entered
the room and that the colored man
struck him down with some blunt
instrument.
4iC ooS bAC AlOllCy was ldhcH. nc
is not able to give a description of
the two men. The mayor states that
he thought he was alone in the house
| when the attack was made upon him.
The mayors cries after the attack
had been made upon him attracted
several men to the house. They found
| him on the floor of his office with his
head in a pool of blood.
City physician Dr. George Hunt, was
| summoned and he had the mayor TAX
| en- to the hospital Ten stitches were
required to close the wound
Mrs. Zimmerman Withdraws.?
| Mrs. Zimmerman filed suit for di-
vorce several days ago and since that
time has been living at the home for
merly occupied by her mother, who
died recently, on North Eighteenth
street. No confirmation could be OBJ
tanned of the report that Mrs. thinner
man now intended to withdraw her
divorce action.
Chief of Police Wenger visited
Mayor Zimmerman Sunday and heard
the mayors explanation of the affair
The chief said Monday that the loca
ton Of the mayors wound, on the back
of the head, and the fact that the scalp
had been split in various places
would indicate that he had been struck
with a club or some other blunt instru
ment.
The only place in the house where
blood was found was on the Office
floor, where the mayor had fallen. He
was found with his face on the floor.
No Sharp Furniture There.
There was no furniture near by or
which the mayor could have injured
himself when falling, the chief stated
The chief stated that Mayor Zim
norman informed him that before the
alleged attack was made on him a mar
had visited the Office and had paid the
mayor SIS for medical services.
After the man left the mayor decided
to place this money in his safe anC
was attacked while in the act of doinl
this, according to the mayor.
The police have obtained no clew:
to indicate how DR.. Zimmerman's as
sailants gained entrance to the hous'
or how they left 1t.
