warfare one Belfast travelling sales
man had twenty.three long standing
accounts closed by Tuam merchants,
some running as high as $4,000 per
year, while the total of the cancelled
accounts aggregated over a quarter
of a million dollars. Meanwhile the
salesman failed to box single or
der.
Although Tuams trade does not
"cut much ice" in Belfast, the Incl
dent has aroused the apprehensions
of the big business interests of the
northern metropolis, and shown them
the serious possibilities of a general
extension Of the boycott.
The advocates of the scheme de-
clare that in case NJ becomes neces-
sary to extend the boycott to other
towns, the people will be called upon
to boycott amy stores that refuse to
fall in line with the blockade.
They assert that more than TWEEN
ty-five per cent Of Belfast's trade is
distributing trade and that such a
boycott would hit Belfast heavy
blow They are convinced that the
business men would go to almost
any lengths to avoid the extension
to other cities.

sLACKER sUERENDERs AFTER
 THREE YEARS IN MOUNTAINS


 Portland, sOregon, July 29-Three years ofSwandering in the mountains of southern Oregon in efforts to escape a charge of evading the selective draft, were ended today with Alfred Fattig, twenty-seven year old farmer, in jail here.
 He surrendered, he said, because of loneliness which became unbearable. During his wandering he told county au- thorities, he lived chiefly on the meat of wild animals and berries.
 Fattig and his brother Charles fled to the mountains in 1917, because of con- scientious scruples against war, he de clared. They took clothing salt, matches, weapons, ammunition and a prospector's pan.
 "We pretended to be prospectors when we occasionally met miners or oth- CT people in the mountains" Fattig told authorities.
 "Once I returned home in February, 1918. I saw my mother and returned to the mountains. About Christmas of 1918 we heard, from an old miner, that the war was over. Last fall my broth CT said he had had enough ami was go- ing home to work. I decided to remain in the mountains alone. Finally it got so I simply could not stand it any longer. I wanted to he with people I came out and surrendered"
 Charles Fattig has not been appre- hended.

 PORCH CAMPAIGN SATURDAY

Marion, O., July 2s.-Subjeets ranging from the political outlook in Ohio ito the internal troubles of China were canvassed by Warren G. Harding today in long workday crammed with conferences.
 The procession of callers prevented completion of the speech the nominee will deliver here SatSrday at the opening or his front porch campaign, and he said IL probably would be tomorrow night before the manuscript would be finished. The address, which will be delivered to dele ,gation from Mansfield, O., will be snort and is expected to include more or less general discussion of the issues.
 The first conference of the day was with forty Chicago business men connect ed wit hthe finnacial end of the republican national committee, who arrived in Mari on on an early train and were breakfast guests of Senator Harding at the Marion club. They were accompanied by Fred w Upham of Chicago, the national com mittee treasurer, and later talked over campaign finances with the nominee and outlined in detail the plan perfected in Chicago for raising a campaign gund by popular subscription
 The Ohio. situation was discussed by Senator Harding with George H. Clark, chairman of the republic state advisory  the democrats making the state one Of their principal battlegrounds, there was no doubt of republican success.
 Ohio is republican" said MT. Clark in a formal statement. "She will exceed her record in her plurality for Harding and Coolidge. /
 T speak out of knowledge and a sur vey of every county and community in the state indicates beyond doubt the over whelming victory of the republican par ty."
 Senator Hardings talk on Chinese con- ditions was with pr. Hiram Lowry, presi- dent emeritus of Pekin university, who brought the greetings and good wishes of the Chinese president The nominee ask ed many questions aboutthe attitude of the Chinese people, and yDr. Lowry told him they all were looking to the United States for their example of representative government.
 Another caller was Leslie M. Shaw of Iowa, a former secretary of the treasury, who is under/ood to have reported on conditions in. K,he west and also to have talked over. fiscal policies with Senator Harding.
 q was greatly pleased" said Mir Shaw after the conference, "to find Senator Harding thinking not so much of how he can get the office to which he aspires as of what he can. do with it when he gets 1t. The man who has vision in private affairs is sernetines called 8 financier. The nan Nhp has clear vision in public affaffs Re oalled a statesman.

With Run on Ponzi, Money Pours Into a Rival Three Blocks Away.

Boston. July 2s-The three-day run on the coffers of Charles Ponzi by doubting investors in his get-rich- quick scheme of international postal exchange continued today while new believers in the possibili- ty of abnormal profit took their money to rival few blocks away.
 Ponzi, having agreed with District At torney Pelletier to accept no further de- posits until investigation of his accounts had been made, stood in his enlarged of fees and saw everything going out with no new funds coming in; but although payments in the last two days are esti- mated to have exceeded million dollars, he was honoring every demand His rival foreign exchange company, with prom ise of 50 per cent. profit in forty-ive days, was taking all the money presented, with no immediate payments to be made. There was fair sized crowd at each place.
 A New York banker. whose identity he refused to divulge, offered him S10000,- 900 today for his business, according to a statement Ponzi made to newspapermen at his home tonight. He added that he had not decided whether to accept but would hold another conference with the banker here tin few days.
 Ponzi added that he intended to resume hi S operations in Boston and other cities where he has bE~Sch offices when the district attorneys auditors have com pleted their investigation, if he did not accept the bankers offer
 He said he had been informed by his secretary that he had paid out to cus- toners today about quarters of a mill lion dollars. Most of this money" he added, went to those holding notes which matured today. They got their principal and 50 per cent interest"

SEVEN CENT TROLLEY FARE ONLY SALVATION OF CONN. co

Hartford, Conn, July 29.-A seven cent trolley fare is the only thing which can keep the Connecticut company out of the bankruptcy court, Judge Waiter c. Moves, chairman of the Board of Federal Trustees, told the public utilities commis- sion at a hearing today.
 The petition for a seven cent fiat rate in cities in place of the present compli- cated zone system was before the com mission said Judge Moves, The com pany has llostA S87 000 between June and July 15s,and lost in the season, when a reserve should be piling up against the lean months next winter and is loss when the company is not paying interest taxes and rentals.
 That loss of $S7,0oO is in operating ex- penses, strictly speaking" he said. If we go on at the present rate we can not possibly go for more than two months and l don't think we can last six weeks. the wheels couldn't turn any longer than that"
 Counsel representing Manchester, New Haven and Meriden protested the propos- ed rate. New Haven wants a five cent fare.

nia, West ViKinia, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois was estimated at one-half or less of normal, with the country's total pro- duction averaging nine million tons week in comparison with current de- mands showing a need f4 100000 tons.
 Prospects of a winter and spring wheat yield considerably above normal were reported by the Minneapolis district, while the Pacific coast reports forecast a yield of 10000, ,000, more bushels of spring wheat than in 1919. The St. Louis district, however, said the wheat there was low in quality but hig in quality, while the Kansas City district predicted a big yield. Oother crops, including corn, oats an dcotton, were reported as having improved over past months.
 Livestock conditions were said by the board to be exceptionally good The raw wool market, however, continued it's characteristic inactivity which has last ed several weeks, the dealers in the Boston district placing practically no orders. Such wool as is going into the market is on a consignment basis.
 In the woolen and worsted goods in dustry, the board found the yarn spin ners receiving fe winquiries for their products, with conditions equally dis coura ging for finished textiles. Goods re- turned to the mills together with can cellations were Atinlated at $100,000,000.
 Slackening of activity in cotton goods also was reported. Many mills declared their raw cotton supplies were sufficient to last until next year, and the board s review said the chances seem to favor a further reduction of activity in the industry.
 Little improvement in the leather and shOe trade was noted during the month with New England manufacturers furth- CT curtailins operations. The manufac- turers. however, were said to anticipate a brisk autumn business due to belated orders.
 The board reported improved financial conditions, asserting that the New York district had noted that the big expan- sion of loans and discounts had been wholly checked with other districts de- claring this condition had been largely checked"

TO, DISCUSS MEANS OF
 AVERTING COAL SHORTAGE

Washington. July 29.-Means of avert ing winter coal shortages and of defeat ing profiteering in the coal trade will be discussed at a conference in New York Monday by representatives of four gov- ernment departments and committee from the coal industry Acting Attorney General Ames in announcing the confer ence tonight said the government hoped to develop a program on which the coal interests could come half way" in solving the coal problem
 MT. Anles, who, with Attorney General Palmer will direct the formation of the plan, declared there was no reason for a scarcity of fuel at the present time and that if a shortage existed it was through faulty distribution. He added that there were mo economic reasons for the high coal prices which obtain throughout the country. This particular phase of the sit uation, he said, is being given close study both by the department of justice and by many representatives of the coal indus try who feel that present conditions should undergo change"
 Although the question of an embargo on export coal will be discussed at the coming conference, MT Ames said it ap- peared that the embargo could be dis carded as an effective means of increasing
 
 Less than ten million tons of coal have been exported during the first six months of this year, including shipments to Can ada, he asserted, and this amount had not therefore materially reduced the stocks here with a production for the period esti- mated at 255.000,000 tons.
 Wage questions probably will also come up for discussion, since Secretary of La Dor Wilson is understood to have recom- mended reopening of the wage award in prepared report on the coal situation in general and strike conditions in the Illinois and Indiana fields in particular submitted today to President Wilson. The labor secretary returned to Washington yesterday and at the request of the president immediately set to work on the report. His recommendation for re- opening of the wage award, it is under stood would be merely to bring UT der il wages 6f mine laborers which were omit ted from the award of the bituminous coal commission. Other features of the secretary's report were net disclosed,
 Secretary of Commerce Alexander. Sec retary of the Navy Daniels and Chairman Benson of. the shipping board have, heer Invited send representatives to tie New York conference. The interest of these de partments in finding a solution to the diff ficulties besetting the coal trade, Mir Ames said. lay in the fact that both the navy department and shipping board were heavy purchasers of coal for bunkering while the department of commerce always has been of aid to the industry in a su- pervisory way

Washington. July 2s-Curtailment of industrial activity due to lower demand cancellation of orders and general read justment were the outstanding develop rnents in the business of the country dur ing July, the Federal Reserve Board declared tonight in it's monthly re- view.
 Tn some districts, however, produc- lion continues upon old orders which are still on the books, despite the fact that new business has fallen on, the rsyied declared. Tn the agricultural re- rions. improved crop conditions and the aevelopment of a more confident tone ln business are reported to have brought about a turn distinctly for the better.
 Speculation in commodities IS Ill many parts of the country reported 10 have been greatly reduced and in some practically eliminated. There is gen eral feeling that extravagant buying IS at least less extreme and dangerous than it was some time ago.
 The transportation problem continued unsoived during the month, the reVieW reported and while some local improve uents were noted there remained great eight congestion. provoking an undue and unnecessary severe strain upon cred
 The iron and steel industry ''is now q fe the review, which adds that two mil Ion tons Of products are tied up in The hands of the producers throughout the country by lack of transportation Likewise. the grain movement has been retarded by car shortage
 Commenting on the labor situation the hozrd declares that an increase in the efficiency of labor was "one notable feature of the month this improvement being attributed to the development Of unemployment in various parts of the country. Increased unemployment was zserfbsd by the boards reports to cur tailed manufacturing operations, cancel lation of orders and inability to obtain cznital for construction work

Louisville, Ky, July 29.-Congressman King Swope of Kentucky, who was chair man of the house subcommittee which recently completed an Investigation ot Japanese immigration } to Pacific coast states, declared in a statement issued here today that this country has reached a point where we should not permit any unassimilable race to fill up our Pacific states or any other states"
 He said the privilege of entry of any and all immigrants should be predicated upon their ability and desire to become real, loyal, patriotic Americans"
 The subcommittee will report to the house committee when congress assemblies in December. MT. Swope declined to say what recommendations it will make.
 Tt is rather difficult for the people of the east and south fully to appreciate the Japanese immigration question and its eff feet upon the Pacific coast" said MT. Swope. When we realize that about 100000 of the approximately 150,000 Jap anese in this country live in California we can readily see why the Californians view with great alarm a continued Jap anese immigration.
 Washington, Oregon and California in particular seem to represent an earthly paradise to the Japanese because of thei1 1elN NOl ebAC Sllllldlc anu 1Si IllC 0OAl. <1o C result, about four-fifths of the total Jap anese population in the United States live in these three states.
 "The Californians alleged" MT. Swope said, that the gentlemen's agreement is being violated, and that thousands oi Janarese immigrants are entering this country surreptitiously every year by wa, of the Mexican border. And in suppor. of that statement they offer the fact that the Japanese population. in California has doubled since 1913.
 Tt must be said the Jap is thrifty. ant as soon as he saves something from hi: 1 earnings he goes into business for him
