Girl Wanted in
 Check Cases is
 Put Under Arrest

Little Rock, Jan. 7.-Hazel Barnes, wanted here for obtaining more than $500 on worthless checks, has been arersted in Houston, Texas, where she also negotiated spurious orders. She has string of aliases, and is wanted in St. Louis, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Chicago and other cities, where she is accused of de- frauding banks. It is improbable she will be returned here for trial. Local police believe she will be returned to Philadelphia, where she cashed orders for a large amount.
 Her methods were simple. She would rent room in good part of the city, thus to have an address to refer to, and, posing as resident, would deposit small sum in bank Hurriedly, she would then issue checks, usually for small amount, but in the aggregate far in excess of the amount she had deposited in bank. Then, she would disappear.
 The woman appeard in numerous poses-as teacher, an oil mans wife, bankers wife and other roles. Of a slight, girlish figure, refined appearance, styIishly dressed, wear ing diamond ring, and pretending an acquaintance with the cashier, whose name she has taken precau- tion to learn, she had little trouble in getting her checks cashed. She defrauded 25 or more local firms during her short stay here about two weeks ago, getting several checks cashed at one store.

JUDGE HOLDS THAT
 SHAW NO LONGER
 IS MINE INSPECTOR
Latter's Attorney Will Take Case to High
 Court

Fort Smith, Jan. 7.-Thomas H. Shaw was busted from the position of state mine inspector today by decision of Circuit Judge John Brig zolari, in quo warranto proceedings brought in behalf of the state of Arkansas by Attorney General J. D. Arbucsle, the court declaring that it could not go behind the decision of the state mining board which, some days ago, revoked Shaw's license and thus, in effect, disqualified him from occupying the position of mine in- spector.
 Attorneys for Shaw declared they would take an appeal to the state supreme court. They announced also that they will seek to obtain from the circuit court writ of certiorari, to have the court review the action of the state mining board. Injunction proceedings brought by the Central Coal and Coke company of Kansas City, to restrain Shaw from interfering with the operation of any of the coal mines of that company, are pending in chancery court here, and Shaw's attorneys declared tonight they will file answer tomorrow for the pc tition of the Kansas City company.

It is said the saw has beer found and that marks by its teeth coincide with those found on the bone fragments.
 Inquiry as to the operations oi Landru's wife. says the Eclair, shows she was a "devoted accomplice" o1 her husband, and "knew of every. thing he did" It is also charged their children aided in disposing o1 property by Landru in the course o1 his alleged crimes.

PEACE TREATY MAY BE MADE THE CHIEF
 CAMPAIGN ISSUE Party to be Asked to Put It. self Squarely Behind
 Wilson BRYAN, IS REPORT.
 PLANS NEW COURSE Jackson Day Banquet Tonight Will Put Party on Record-Ne-
 braskan's Plans Mysti-

Washington, Jan. 7-The peace treaty as campaign issue loomed conspicuously on the political hori- zon today as leaders of the demo cratic party, gathered here for the quadrennial meeting of the demo. cratic national committee, laid pre- liminary plans for the presidential contest.
 Already overshadowing the fight for the national convention. which apparently narrowed during the day to Kansas City and San Francisco discussion of the treaty got an add- tional impetus when it became known that at it's meeting tomorrow, the committee would be asked by it's officers to formally put iteslf square ly behind President Wilson in his stand in the treaty controversy.
 A resolution making such declara- tion was prepared for presentation and Chairman Cummings of the committee predicted that it would be adopted. It is understood to in dorse in general the terms of the presidents course, without declaring specifically for unreserved ratifica- ton, but MT. Cummings said the intention was to make it's language so plain that there would be no doubt that the party stood "behind the president."
 The announcement stirred up end less speculation when it was coupled with unverified reports that Will liam Jennings Bryan would advocate a different course in his speech at the Jackson Day banquet to be held under the auspices of the committee tomorrow night.
 No one professed to know MT Bryan's intentions, but many commit teemen were turning over in their minds various stories quoting him as advocating ratification with any compromise that could be secured.

10l.. .SHEVIKI WORK
 FOR OVERTHROW 0F ENGLISH GOVT,
Under Ultra-Liberal Laws. However, They Have
 Free Hand

London, Jan. 7.-Bolshevik agita- tors in this country are working energetically along lines similar to those projected by the radicals in America. namely, the overthrow of the government and the establish ment of Soviet form of govern ment.
 It is thought probable that the have not yet reached the point achieved in the United States, but it is believed that the radicals here rapidly are reaching the point where they might seize on some big labor strike as an opportunity for starting revolutionary movement.
 While these facts are common knowledge to close observers of the situation, it is said to be impos- sihle for the British authorities, un- der the present ultra-liberal laws of free speech, to do much more than watch the progress of events. The mere fact that an individual or an organization is allied with the Mos COW internationale and is preaching revolution by innuendo is declared tc be insufficient ground for police ac- ton. In other words, it is declar- ed, the British, broadly speaking cannot take preventative measures but must be content to deal with some actual event.
 Great Britain can and does deport undesirable aliens, but in the case of British subjects, the situation is more delicate. There are several eX- tremists organizations in Londor and in various parts of the country some political and others allegedly allied with the extremists laborites which avowedly are bolshevist ol communist.

Shippers Favor
 State Commissions

Chicago, Jan. 7.-Guaranteed earn ings for the railroads appropriation of surplus railroad profits by the government, thereby "penalizing ef- ficiency" and compulsory consol1da- ton of the roads are all opposed in a memorial addressed to congress by the national shippers conference.
 Representatives of shippers in 16 states met here December 30 and appointed representatives to draft the memorial, which attacks many provisions of the Cummins railroad bill. Copies were mailed today to every member of congress.
 The shippers urge passage ol legislation for early return of the roads to private control and favor retention of the state commissions to fix intraState rates.

ND IMMEDIATE DROP
 IN FOOD PRICE IS FORECAST BY PALMER
Packers Dissolution Won't Have Effect Now, He
 Declares

Washington, Jan. 7.--No promise prices as the result of the dissolu. tion agreement between the govern mcnt and the packers IS seen by At torney General Palmer, he told the senate agriculture committee today in explaining the circumstances lead ing up to the settlement
 "There is great strength said Palmer, Gin the argument that these great concerns with their efficiency methods do handle business with less expense than many smaller units, but if so that is efficiency gained by autocracy. We shall have to depend on getting results in this direction from competition and if they are not obtained, then our whole theory of efficiency gain ed by democratic competition is wrong"
 "All tho things which the govern ment could possibly accomplish by obtaining decree adverse to the packers after bringing a case tc trial in the courts we accomplished ed with that agreement" MT. Palmer added "lndeed, we got many things that doubt could have been ob. tained by such decree. We have n perpetual injunction against mon opoly by the packers, against unlaw- tul trade practices, and all of the matters at issue, without any pro. visions which would prevent the gov. ernment from re-opening the case al any time"
 The packers were not precluded from handling butter, eggs, cheese and poultry, thru their refrigerat ting systems, MT. Palmer explained, be cause, he concluded, that this prac. tice had economic value," but, he added, that the decree gave ex- pressly power to renew prosecutions in that field if it is found desirable
 "Is there anything in the agree ment to prevent the government from proceeding farther against the pack ers"? asked Senator Norris, repub- lican, of Nebraska.
 There is not" Palmer replied Out do not expect to proceed crim- inally against them"
 Senator France, republican, Mary land, suggested that the department of justice twas sending out agents to spy upon labor unions and leav- ing itself open to the charge that it is not pushing criminal actions against multi-millionaires."
 "l had the choice of bringing the packers before the courts on tho civil or the criminal side," the at. torney general reorted. "My de. cision was that the interests of jus ticc were best served by civil pro. ceedings I call your attention tc the fact that when similar ques. tion was raised in the coal strike brought proceedings against the miners union on the civil side and enforced the courts decree by con. tempt proceedings. It doesn't lay in the mouth of any man, high O, low to say the attorney general is g respecter of persons"
 Senator Norris suggested that the effect of the agreement was to forgive the packers" for any crim inal counts that might be raised against them, but the attorney gen. eral denied this.
 Replying to Senator Kendrick democrat, of Wyoming, Palmer said he did not think harm would result from setting up a federal regulativ. agency, particularly to control the stockyards markets.

 Industry of AN Classes
 Soon Is to Be Announced

Washington, Jan. "A Plumb plan for all American industry, mod elled after the plan of the sam, name for the railroads, has been pre- pared and is expected to be publicly announced soon.
 Copies of the plan, captioned Car industrial program by Glenn F Plumb" are being circulated here and some of them have been receiv ed in government circles.
 Briefly, the plan proposes for all American industry the system of tri- partite railroad control advanced scme time ago with the backing of the great brotherhoods, and which it has been announced would be made an issue at the elections. It pro poses practically the same division of representation for capital, labor and the public. Industry is classed into four di- visions in this way:
 1-Those "individualistic in ownership and operation, includ- ing the farmer and the small
 artisan, contractor and manu- facturer, who is both capitalist, laborer and consumer"
 All industries formerly individualistic, but which thru organization have so developed that ownership is separated from labor and concerns itself only Tn direction and supervision of pro- duction, in which it engages the efforts of others who have no share in ownership
 Jndu StrieS "baSed uOUn a grant from society in the shape of franchise, grant of privilege or monopoly" In this division are included all public service corporations except those en-
