Cotton manufacturers voted to-day to

Government undoubtedly expects a short

It is probable that exports will be cut
off Immediately as soon as the strike be-

American invasion of European coal
markets which hitherto have been exciu-
sively British. The sale of American
coal in Paris Is being played up much
here. Therefore If the strike lasts very
long the British miners undoubtedly will
appeal to their American brethren to
stop coal exports from the United States.

tempted an explanation or his reasons
for ordering District Attorney Daniel w.
Sims at Indianapolis to refrain from
using all available evidence against Of
ficials Of the United Mine Workers who
are soon to come to trial on charges OF
violating the Lever act. 1t was because
of Palmers order that Sims resigned
several days ago.
In his formal statement of his side of
the case to-day the Attorney-General re-
veals that he granted to the officials of
the miners union immunity from fur
ther prosecution when they called Off
their strike nearly a year ago. despite
the fact that at the time Mr. Palmer
called the strike violation Of the law.
Mr.. Palmer said that while the miners
were enjoined President John l.. Lewis
and Secretary w. Green of the United
Mine Workers came to Washington and
agreed to a proposal by President Will
son that they submit their demands
to commission. They returned to In
dianapols to lay this before the mine
workers. but in the meantime were or

layed and finally dismissed on motion of
the Government, but Judge Anderson
said he would ask a special Grand Jury
to investigate as to whether miners and
operators had not conspired to violate
the Lever act. He did this

ferring to Judge Anderson. that the
Government would. of course. cooperate
In this situation and directed my special
assistants on the ground to take charge
Of the investigation with the proviso,
however, of which appraised Judge An
derson. that the facts which were the
basis Of the contempt proceedings should
not be used either in the Grand Jury
proceedings or in the trial against de-
PENDANT miners"
Mr.. Palmer said he did this because
the miners had complied with the re-
straining order and that he was I'M
willing they should be punished in an
other proceeding for the same offence.
He says Mr.. Sims understood this and
quotes letter written to him on the
subject.

WET" PLANK ADOPTED
BY THE DEMOCRATS
IN CONVENTION

Following is the text of the
wet" plank drafted in the Demo-
cratic platform at the State Con-
vention In Baltimore:
The Eighteenth Amendment to
the Constitution having been de-
clared ratified We believe that
while this provision remains in
the Constitution it must be up
held.
I'VE further believe that the
law-abiding people of this country
will never be satisfied with the
enforcement of the Eighteenth
Amendment under the terms and
provisions of the present enforce
ment law, known as the Volstead
Act which was passed by the
Republican Congress over the
veto of the Democratic President.
I'VE, therefore, favor the enact
ment by Congress of such laws,
under the Eighteenth Amendment;
as will permit the making and use
OF homemade wines and cider
and the manufacture and sale of
beer in original packages for
home consumption only, and to
that end we urge the repeal in
modification of the Volstead Act"

wood the youths arrested in Balti-
more Wednesday evening on charges

laries that have been perpetrated in
the city during the last several
months
The capture of the lads, who have
been out on bail i'm the sum of $500
each, since their arraignment before
Justice Welch yesterday, has. excited
widespread interest about the city.
Fortunate circumstances in connec-
ton with their arrest, however. have
been the fact many of the persons
whose homes have been burglarized
at one time or another, have been
enabled to recover the stolen goods.
In addition to the multitude of val
liable articles, as enumerated in yes
terday's Capital, it develops that some
of the loot contained in the bag which
the youngsters were making away
with to Baltimore, were articles OF
.jewelry taken from the residence of
Charles Chance, on Prince George
street. including a diamond ring,
which, it is said. is valued at $500.
