the nomination rendered him yester-
day by the party.
1t had been thought that he would
accept, and the convention had made
its plans with that view.
The convention was in session when
the messages from Bozeman, Mon

Warns Retailer of

BOSTON, July 23.--President

issued the following statement recent
H:
at will be well for the retailers
who are to replenish their stocks some
day to remember that labor is 35 per
cent higher than it was a year ago
and that there will be no change
downward in the price of labor; that
coal and fuel oil are over 100 per
cent higher than year ago and very
difficult to obtain; that wit sh few
weeks transportation charges threat
en- to be 40 to so per cent higher than
year ago, with undependable ser
vice about which everybody knows
that interest account is certainly dou.
BILE what it was year ago and that
general supplies, including dyestuffs
entering into the manufacture of
cloth, remain unchanged or with a
higher tendency.
"The only important reduction has
been in wool, and that is partly due
to the curtailment of production by
the mills and partly because the En-
glish government has released its hold
upon the wool of its colonies. This
decline has averaged from 15 to 80

May Mean War
| on Broad Scale

WASHINGTON, July With
out official information regarding the
pecision Of the allied powers to fur
nish military aid to Polsnd in her
struggle with The bolsheviki govern
ment officials refrained yesterday
from formal expression of opinion,
but lnoficially profcssed TO see in
the new situation moss of the ele-
incnts of European war on broad
seale.
Army officers and officials of the
state department generally were
Frankly pessimistic IS TO the ability
bf France and Great Britain to place
armies in Poland in time to check the
Russian advance before Warsaw falls
and many Of them were skeptical of
the pc F~gof either France of Great
Britain ~ drive their war weary pop
nlation irso the struggle without Sc
rious unbalancing of domestic affairs,
Although technically the president
still is endowed with the specially
confelTed war powers, there was nc
disposition in official circles to as
bume that he would involve the Unit
ed States in war between .he bolshe-
Wiki and the allies, unless action
might be justified by some over act
against the army Of occupation on the
Rhine. Reports to tile state depart
ment indicate increasing tenseness
between the conservative and nro-rad-
Zeal groups in Germany, and it was
generally believed that unless the rad

coming involved in the new situation

Rate Increase
Asked by Roads

WASHINGTON, July 23.-To pro.
vide the additional revenues neces.
sary to meet the $600,000,000 in.
crease in wages awarded by the rail.
road labor board, the railroads of the
country proposed yesterday to the in.
terstate commerce commission that
passenger rates be advanced 20 per
cent and freight rates9.13 per cent
in addition to the 27.6 per cent pre-
viously requested. They also pro.
posed that surcharge Of so per cent
by made on all pullman fares, ex.
cess baggage rates be increased &c
per cent and milk traffic be increased
to the same level as freight rates.
Should the increase proposed yes
terday and those previously asked for
be granted in full, existing freight
rates would be advanced 26.9 per
cent and the nations freight bill by
81 1855, ,379,675.. The total which
would be added to the assenger revc-
nue. under the railway executives
plan would be $233,827,9 ,982 annually.
Pullman charges would go up$43,-
639,344 year; the revenue on milk
would be increased $8,6662,098 and
excess baggage charges would be ad-
vanced by 81 ,420,995.
The plan presented by the railroad
executives disclosed yesterday they
have estimated the wage award at
approximately $626,000,00O instead
of the $600,000,000 figured by the
labor board. Alfred P. Thorn, gem
eral counsel of the Association of
Railway Executives, explained that
the $26,000,000 was figured on the
basis of overtime allowances provid.
ed in the award.
The proposal of the executives was
submitted to the commission by Mr..
Thorn after conference with it's mem,
bers. The commission made no COM
ment on receiving the proposal and
did not indicate whether it would or
der hearings.
Hearings on the billion dollar
freight rate increase case were con.
cluded two weeks ago and the gener-
al expectation has been that the com.
mittee would grant single increase
to cover both that and the added ex.
penses from the wage advances so as
to permit the filing of new tariffs be-
fore the government guarantee to the
railroads expires on September under
the terms of the transportation act.

Harding's Stand
Not Pleasing

MARION, Ohio, July 22.-Repre-
sentatives of the National Woman's
Party, who called on Senator Harding
yesterday for aid in completing rati-
fication of the suffrage amendment,
announced last night that they were
not satisfied with his reply and would
continue their demand that he take
more direct action.
"Suffragists can feel only dissat-
isfaction," said Miss Paul, head Of
the party, with Senator Harding's
refusal in his reply to the woman's
party delegation, and in his accept
ance speech, to take a positive stand
for the carrying out of the suffrage
plank in the republican platform.
"If Senator Harding refuses to live
up to the suffrage plank and contents
himself merely with earnest hop
ing" and Sincerely desiring" how can
he expect the country to take serious
ly the other planks of his platform.
"The National Woman's Party will
continue to demand that Senator
Harding carry out his platform by
securing unanimous vote in sup
port of the ratification from the reJ
publican delegation in the Tennessee
legislature when it meets in next
month"

Accidentally Killed
Himself With Gun

Bessie DeVoti, aged II years, son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. James DeVoti, was
killed accidentally while out hunting
near his home about 3 o'clock Thurs
day afternoon. AS the report goes
the DeVoti boy was in company with
three other youths about his age
all had been hunting since the noon
hour and had sat down to rest. Des-
sic had his double barrel shotgun
lying on the ground, and upon get
ting up to resume the hunt, pulled
the mnssel of the gun toward him,
and in some unaccountable manner
the contents of both barrels were
discharged, entering his body and kill
ing him instantly. The body was
brought to the Mitchell Undertaking
establishment, this city, about 5 p. m.
yesterday and prepared for burial, la
ter being taken to the home Of his
parents, which is only about three
miles west of Greeneville, and but
short distance from the Warrensburg
pike.road.
We are informed that thorough
investigation is being made of the
sad affair, but there does not seem
to be the least doubt but what it was
an es.ident, and there is not likely
to be any developments from inquiries
now going on.
The funeral Of the young man will
take place at Cedar Hill, near the
Devoti home, this afternoon at 3
O'Clock.
