COX DEMANDS
 AN APOLOGY
 FROM HARDING

En Route With Governor Cox,
 Bloomington, Ind, Oct. 9.-A demand
 that Senator Harding apologize "mls-
 leading the American public was
 voiced by Governor James M. Cox in
 speech here today in which he ve-
 hemently attacked the Repupi1can
 candidates declaration that Pres1-
 dent Wilson refused to counsel with
 the Senate and insisted upon ratihca-
 ton of the League covenant without
 dotting an ''I'' Or crossing a ''r"
 e-''The senatorial candidate may
 choose either horn of the dilemma,
 the governor said, "but affirm without fear of contradiction that any
 one who says the president never sought and never needed the advice of the Senate is either craft1iy 1gnor- ant of contemporary history or
 grossly insincere. There is no third alternative.
 "In charity of judgment the gov
 ernor said, he wished to assume that
 know what he was talking about and intimated that the senator's habit of lodging roll calls,' might ex- plain his ignorance were 1t not TOT | Senate showed he had voted against the Hitchcock reservations"
 '"There was more than one frank exchange of views between the Pres
 deat and the ahe as fo and made a part of the covenant. Reservations were proposed by mem bers of the Senate and accepted by | the President. And those things were not done in a corner. It is true that Senator Harding dodged 1,163 roll calls, which might explain his ab- sence from the Senate when import ant questions were being discussed and important matters decided. The | records however, show that Novem- | Der 19, 1919, was one of the days | when he was present for he voted against the Hitchcock reservations, along with Borah and Johnson, Knox and Penrose, Shoot and Watson and Newberry."
 'tThese reservations dealt directly with all objections raised against the | covenant" Cox said, "and were in tended sto reassure those Americans | who entertained any doubts whatever as to the retention of our national | rights as a member of the league. 1 CT suppose it is too much said | the Governor, ito ask that medic crity pay to greatness the grateful
 tribute of truth, but, confronted with i the plain facts, it ought not to be too much to ask that the Senator l apologize for misleading the Amer1- l can public"
 1 With his speech here this morning Governor Cox entered upon his third l trip into Indiana, which will be con 1 tinued throughout the day with speeches at Sullivan and Terre Aaute Sunday will be spent in Terre Haute.

NO CHANCE OF LOWER COAL

That there is no immediate prob ability of a reduction in the price Of hard coal and that it is not within the power of the Connecticut Cham Der of Commerce to remedy the sit uation in so far as prices are con cerned, is the substance of the report just made by President Charles F. Chase of the state chamber.
 That the greatest part of the delay in getting an adequate supply of hard coal into this state is due to action of certain railroads is the burden of Is letters received by the special com mittee of the state chamber from leading hard coal operators through out the anthracite belt. They say in substance that the embargoes placed on anthra cite coal by the New Haven road, and the Philadelphia & Read ing Coal & Iron Company have been the principal cause of the non-deiv- cry of coal, these embargoes having existed first from April 12 to May 27 and the second time from June to August "A.
 Strikes which began July 16, some of which are still in force in the an, thracite region, have cut down pro duction .59 per cent. The chamber reports that-they have succeeded ir perfecting an arrangement with oper ators whereby a greater amount o1 hard coal will now be a1located tc Connecticut and that the receipts art increasing.
