MAY0RALTY
ROD UP FOR STRAYER

There was a fourth hat in the Re-
publican mayoralty contest ring Tues
day. 1t was tossed in by Frank T.
Strayer, formerly prosecuting attor
ney of Wayne county. The hats that
preceded Strayer's were those of Dr.
w. w. Zimmerman, c. NJ. Davis, a gar
age owner, and Ora G.. Mitchell, West
Side grocer.
Strayer states that he intends to
make the race for the Republican
nomination for mayor on the record
he made as a public officer during the
two terms he served as prosecutor
He says he has been informed that
his record as prosecutor was one OF
the best in the history of the county
He promises, if elected, to give Rich
mond a real business administration.
Strayer states that recently a rep
resentative of the American Magazine
sought an interview with him as al
example Of typically self-made Amer
lean. He declined to accept this pub
licity, however.
Mr.. Strayer was serving as prose
| cutor at the outbreak of the late wal
but resigned his position to enlist in
the naval aviation service. He was
| stationed in France. Mr.. Strayer says
he has been assured cordial support by
business men, by former service mer
and by working men.

SPA, July 13.-The allied prime min
listers have decided not to insist upon
the Germans replying to the allied
ultimatum regarding coal deliveries at
3 p. m today. The Germans will be
permitted to defer their reply until
tomorrow.
The experts on both sides are spend
ing the day re-examining the situation.
The allies originally demanded a
monthly delivery of 100000 tons of
coal by the Germans. The Germans
offered 10000 tons and the allied
demand was reduced to 100000 tons.
The ultimatum informed the Ger
mans that they must agree by 800
O'Clock this afternoon to this monthly
delivery, or the allies would take
measures to enforce the terms of the
treaty Of Versailles.
While the experts were at work the
prime ministers were indulging in re-
taxation from the labors the confer
ences had entailed upon them. Pre-
mier Lloyd George, for his part, went
on a motor car trip.
The Russian soviet government had
not replied up to this afternoon to
the request of the allies that an armis,
tice be arranged with Poland. -
The message was sent by wireless
to the soviet authorities through the
British government because of the
relations already existing between
Premier Lloyd George and Leonid
Kra ssin, the Bolshevik minister OF
trade and commerce.
Ladislas Grabski, the Polish premier
is due to arrive in Warsaw today from
Spa bearing the assurances of the
allies that ample arms and munitions
will be supplied Poland in case the
Russians do not agree to an armistice
or unduly delay their teply.
Poland Takes No Steps.
General Pulsudski, the head of the
Polish state, has taken no steps or
his own account to ward an armistice

CROPS IN SOUTHWEST
PROMISE BIG YIELD
(By Associated Press)

KANSAS CITY, Mo, July 13.- A
survey of the harvest situation in the
Southwest at this time shows wheat
crops better than were forecast six
weeks ago, excellent corn prospects,
surplus of harvest labor, and bright
promise of improved traffic conditions
with plenty of cars to move crops.
Kansas, with an estimated wheat
acreage OF about ~ millions acres,
has had decidedly better wheat yield
than was anticipated in May. June
rains are largely responsible for this
improvement.
Reports just received from Arkan-
sas indicate a good corn crop in that
state, although Arkansas corn is some
what behind the crop in other states,
owing to excessive early rains. Ar
kansas, according to these reports, is
exporting large quantities Of garden
produce. and early apples are begin
ming to come into market. The apple
crop is estimated at so to so per cent
of normal. Peaches suffered severely
in southern Missouri. Oklahoma and
Arkansas because of late spring frosts.
In northern and central Missouri the
peach prospects are better.
An increase in the Kansas acreage
devoted to alfalfa and sorghum feeds,
and a consequent increase acreage in
corn, sorghum, peanuts and potatoes,
with wheat and cotton acreage about
normal, is indicated.
New Mexico has shown great agri-
cultural activity. with heavy increases
in wheat, alfalfa and bean acreage,
and indications of much heavier live.
stock production. Arizona has in.
creased it's farm acreage Is per cent
this year.
Missouri's corn crop this year shows
an increase acreage Of IL per cent
over last year. The acreage planted
to corn in the state is 6,3S900 acres
The condition of the corn crop at pres
ent is excellent. The board forecast
29,162,000 bushels of wheat as Mis-
souri's 1920 production.
According to telegraphic reports
from the east the movement OF freight

FORWARD MOVEMENT
TO CONCENTRATE ON
FUNDS FOR MISSIONS

Two very important steps were
taken by officials of the Friends For
ward movement at meeting Monday
night.
One was authority to discontinue
the united campaign which included
activities embracing IA different de-
partments, with concentration of all
forces toward raising an adequate
budget for home and foreign missions.
and the plan to call Forward Move
ment conference in this city about the
middle or latter part of September.
A large amount of money has been
raised to carry on the work Of many
branches of Friends work, but it is
still evident that more money will be
needed to adequately finance the mis-
sion fields.

large part in the religious efforts of
the Friends and they do not wish to
do the work incompletely," said Levi
T. Pennington, director Of the For
ward Movement, Thursday.

gram of the movement will not be
changed. The conference is to find
the way believed to be the best means
of carrying out the work.
The aims of the movement as en-
dorsed by the officials for the coming
year include: Promotion of interces-
sion, promotion of evangelism, propa-
cation of the Quaker MESA ge. contin-
uance of surveys, securing of life
work enlistments, promotion Of stew
ardship. and a preparation for a unit
ed financial campaign next year.
The amount to be set for the goal
of the united fina ncial campaign next
year is not known. That" said Levi
T. Pennington, is to be decided upon
when the Forward Movement confer
ence Is held in September" Probably
SIS Friends from all parts of the coun.
try will take part in this meeting.
Mr.. Pennington was authorized to
appoint an assistant associate direc-
tor Of the Friends Forward movement
Sylvester Jones occupied that posi-
ton until May 1, but is now member

CHARGES RAILROADS
MAKE HUGE PROFITS
FROM SALE OF COAL

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 13-
Charges that the railroads OF the
country were obtaining control Of all
bituminous coal possible and reselling
it to dealers because Of the opportun-
ity to make big profits due to present
high prices, were made in a statement
by Ellis Searles, editor Of the Mine
Workers Journal, from the headquar-
ters of the United Mine workers.
He declared that trustworthy in
formation received by the union Of
ficials indicated that the railroads as
sign practically all available coal Cars
to mines with which they have con-
tracts, and that these mines work
steadily while other mines work only
two or three days a week
"According to reports received
here" said Mr.. Searles, the railroads
take all of this coal. They do not
burn it nor are they storing 1t, but are
reselling it at huge profits.
Have No Contracts; No Cars!
mines that have no contracts with
railroads get but few cars, and that
fact largely accounts for the scarcity
of free coal on the market, according
to our information.
"By such plan the railroads not
only make a profit in hauling the coal
but they can make an outrageous
profit on the resale.
"By refusing to allow other mines
to have cars they compel the publlc
to buy the coal which they sell, at out
rageous profits.
est on record, but by no stretch or
the Imagination could the miners be
them.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-Although
those participating expressed niue
hope that a satisfactory plan Woulu
be worked out by tomorrow, when the
operators will confer in New York
with railway executives, bituminous
coal operators continued their meet
ing here today to discuss methods OF
suppIving the northwest with coal for
the coming winter. Several plans
we're advanced yesterday, but were
rejected, chiefly because all in some
way would interfere Win conlldcIs di'

Plans proposed by committee
named to consider ways and means OF
getting coal to the states which are
said to be facing a coal shortage pro
vided for the establishment of a zone
system or the restriction Of operators
to certain territories with view OF
shortening mileage. Another propos
ed a division of coal cars among
mines of Ohio, West Virginia and In
diana Both were rejected, as 1t was
claimed their adoption would involve
the breaking of contracts.
