firm and call money opened and renewed

Leather shares were liquidated during
the noon hour at extreme declines of 2 to

fell back but the market strengthened later
under the Influence of a renewed inquiry
for leading equipments. steels, motors and
oils.
Return of the railroads to private operation
stimulated further buying Of railway shares

Industrial Court May Postpone
Investigation of Mines.
Was to Have Gone to Pittsburg
Next Week.
SUSPECT HOWAT OF STRATEGY
Think He Called Missouri Meet
to Obstruct Probe.
Court Also May Wait ON Coal
Report to President.

Members Of the court of industrial
relations may postpone their probe
of conditions in the Pittsburg mining
district. A meeting of the Southwest
ern Coal Operators association in
Kansas City next week and the early
report of the bitumipous coal commits
sion 20 President Wilson may tend to
defer meeting dates in the coal fields
In addition to other reasons for
postponing the coal investigation,
there is a lurking suspicion in the
minds of the state officials that Alex
ander Howat purpose1y called a con-
vention of the mine workers to be
held in Missouri while the labor court
was in the mining camps. This action.
it is asserted. would tend to withhold
from the industrial court such infor-
nation as the mine workers might
give during the investigation. Howat
at no time has shown enthusiasm for
the court act. Now there is suspf-
cion that he called the Missouri meet
ing to hinder the courts investigation
in Kansas.
Probe Scheduled for Next Week.
The labor court was to have gone to
Pittsburg next week. Plans were laid
to spend a couple of weeks in the
mining fields in an effort to secure d =
tailed evidence as to wages, working
conditions and production. Now the
court may be forced to postpone its
first big hearing. Plans to call the
mine workers as witnesses will be
upset If the men are taken from the
state under Howat convention call.
President Wilson will probably re-
ceive a report soon from the coal
commission appointed during the
! recent general strike. This report is
| due March 15-one. week later than
the date of the proposed investigation.
| Then there is the operators meeting
! in Kansas City next week. All tend
to conflict with the state investigation
of the coal situation. In consequence
the court of industrial relations may
fix another date for the hearing

APPROVE new Law
Railway Heads Like Legisla-
ton Provided by Congress.
Roads of Country Are Back on
Pre-War Basis Today.

New York, March railways
operating out of New York City re-
turned to private control at 1901 a.
m. today without surface indications
of the change from government opera
ton.
Shortly after the transition was eff
fected. the Pennsylvania az Erie Sys-
tens announced their intention OF
operating along the lines instituted by
the government-the -four region"
basis.
Railway heads generally expressed
themselves as hopeful for the future,
aid said they believed success or fell
ure of the legislation under which the
roads will operate will be determined
within two years.
Various officials made the follow
ing statements:
Samuel Read. president of the Pennsyl-
Tania-"We viii do all in our power to
make the law a decidedly constructive
measure In practice beneficial to the public,
the employees and the owners of railroad
securities But the main responsibility for
its success will rest on the interstate com
merce commission In fixing valuation OF
the railroads, in having liberal views on
railroad consultations. and, above an n
assuring that railroad credit is kept so SOUND
thru rea sonable earnings that new capital
for the expansion will be available at al
tfmts-"
F. D. Underwood, president of the Erie
I'VE can take UP our tasks-to serve vel
the public, to make ourselves more usetu

that reacts unfavorabiy on all concerned
and to keep a deliberate watch on all oul
acts that affect the public welfare.

ecutive committee of the Southern Pacific

ARTICLE ten MUST STAND
Ultimatum Is Served on Senator Lodge
by "IrreconciIables" in Peace Fight.

Washington, March 1.-The latest
ultimatum from the group of irrecon-
cilables in which they served notice
on Senator Lodge. Republican leader,
that if any attempt were made to
modify the Article Ten reservation they
would reserve to themselves liberty
of action when consideration of the
pact was resumed. today was the prin-
cipal development in the senate peace
treaty imbroglio.
Their action it was said, was based
on the fear that Republican leaders
might consent to some modification of
the reservation if unable otherwise to
obtain enough Democratic votes to in
sure ratification of the treaty. Just
what course the irreconcilables pro-
posed to follow was not disclosed
1t was pointed out that if the OPP
ponents so chose they might easily
block action by talk until after the
national political conventions have as
sembled. That. in turn, II was thought
would throw the whole question OF the
treaty in the next campaign.

Cavalry Wants Excuse to Chase Into

Nogales, March Sheriff R. R.

hounds, crossed the international Dor
der in search of two Mexican bandits
who killed Alexander J. Fraser and
wounded his brother. John A. Fraser.
at Arivaca, Pima county. Arizona.
Friday. gave up the chase yesterday
and returned to Montana camp last
night. Early today it was stated the
sheriff was on his way here. All tele-
phone lines reaching the Montana
camp neighborhood have been cut by
Mexican bandits, authorities stated,
and for that reason the details of the
sheriffs pursuit of the fugitives could
not be learned.
Troop a, of the Tenth cavalry. a
negro regiment, with headquarters at
Fort Huachcca, Arizona, secured the
country around Ruby, Ariz., yesterday
at the point on the border where the
bandits are said to have crossed into
Mexico. Colonel Holbrook said that
the troops under existing orders could
cross the border on hot trail" but
so far the discovery of such a trail
had not been reported at his head

Liquor Men and Wet States in
Concerted Attack.
Three Cases Now Before the e.
s. Supreme Court.
REPUBLICAN LEADERS OPPOSED
Hughes Represents Drys, and
Root the Vets.
Rhode Island, New Jersey and
Ohio Pushing Fight.

Washington, March Squared on
by what they believe is a reaction
against prohibition IN various parts of
the country. the liquor interests and
the states desiring to remain wet to-
day were ready for a concerted legal
attack in the supreme court against
every important part of the eighteenth
amendment and the Volstead law en-
forcing it.
Every effort will be made to ex-
pedite the proceedings in order that
the main points of contention may be
determined before the annual summer
recess OF. the court in June.
Only three cases are now directly
before the court. One is the original
bill of complaint of the state of Rhode
Island challenging the validity of
both the amendment and the Volstead
law and directing that 1t cannot be en-
forced in Rhode Island because the
state did not ratify the amendment.
G. o. p. Leaders Opposed.
Charles E Hughes is expected to
ask the court today to be allowed 10
file a brief for several dry states. at
lacking the position taken by Rhode
Island. AS political sidelight, Elihu
Root, ranking with Hughes as a prom
inent Republican. will appear in one
case for the wet forces.
Argument of the Rhode Island case
probably will be set for next Monday
and with it an appeal by George
Dempsey, a massachusetts, liquor
dealer, who insists the Volstead law
is unconstitutional because congress
in passing it disregarded the fact the
amendment gives TO the states con-
current power to enforce prohibition.
The third case is brought by Ohio
dry forces, who seek to have the court
declare that legislative ratification of
the amendment cannot be withdrawn,
even If the people decided against ma
tional prohibition by a referendum.
This has been advanced for argument
early next week.
Federal Agents Alert.
Department of justice attorneys here
are watching with keen interest the
move to pass a law in New jersey le-
CALLING the sale of 8 Il per cent beer
despite the fact that the Volstead law
fixes the maximum of IA per cent.
They express the opinion that if the
| bill is passed it will have little i'm
mediate effect as legal steps will be
taken at once by the government to
enjoin its operation until the supreme
court determines its validity.
Present plans are for federal agents
to make arrests as soon as the first
| sales are made under the proposed
New Jersey law. These probably wbll
| be made test cases to be carried tto
! the supreme court.
