DEATHS RESULT FROM DRINKING
 ARMY ALCOHOL
Such is Belief of Officers at Edgewood Arsenal; Four
 Are Dead

Baltimore, Md, Sept. -Four civ ilian employees of the Edgewood arse nal, near this city are dead and four more desperately il as result of drinking some of the poisonous al- cohol. Military authorities said they did not know whether the men brought their liquor with them or drank some of the alcohol stored at the post for military purposes. The latter, they admitted, had been rendered deadly to deter soldiers from stealing and drinking it.
 Efforts of the military authorities to find out where the liquor came from have been frustrated by the re- fusal of any of the men to tell where they got the liquor.
 Larga Quantity Stored
 A large quantity of alcohol for chemical purposes is stored st the post, the military authorities said to- night. Quantities of this had been missed for some time, it was said by the authorities. Two weeks ago, all though they had been warned that the alcohol had been rendered dena- tured and made poisonous. number of soldiers tried the post store, di- luting their drink with water. They were made i'll. Thereupon the com manding officer, in orders of the day, announced that the alcohol would be rendered deadly. This warn ing not only was transmitted to the soldiers, it is stated, by the authori- ties, but to the civilian personnel as we'll.
 A number of those are i'll and those who died left the camp Saturday, Sunday and yesterday. This absence from work, the authorities say, makes it difficult to ascertain whether the drink consumed was obtained some where outside of the post, was pro cured from some soldier, or taken by the man who drank it from the store of the post.

UNITED STATES 10 TAKE A HAND IN D|SARMINC PLANS Government Starts Informal Investigation of Disar-
 mament START MOVE TO
 LAY DOWN GUNS Other Nations Wait For America to Take Lead in Universal Movement to Stop Fight
 ing

Washington, Sept. 7.-Informal investigation has been started by the United States government of the progress being made by the na- ticns of the world in the movement for universal disarmament.
 Inasmuch as control of ornaments was made one of the objects of the league of nations, the inquiry into the movement for universal disarma- ment has developed, officials said to- day, into an investigation of the pres ent status of the armament control clauses of the league of nations cove nant.
 Without having taken up the main problem of radical and general dis armament of nations, the league of nations, according to reports received here today in official circles, has be- gun the organization of machinery for solving the problem. Prelimin- ary investigations and studies of the league have begun and some subsidi- ary phases of the main problem such as the control of the manufacture of munitions and of the use of gas in warfare, have already been discuss ed with a view of reaching a univer- sal agreement.
 Not Considered at Rome
 Organization of the advisory com mittee on military, naval and air questions" as provided in the league covenant was made by the league council, according to official advices in Rome, May IT. At that time the question of disarmament in the broadest phase was not considered and it was understood that it would not be considered by the league inn mediately.
 As result of the necessity of seek ing American cooperation, whether within the league or without, in any effectual program for the limitation of armament, the official advices re- ported that early action on any scheme for universal disarmament was not to be expected. At the same time the clashing of the nationalistic interests of many nations also was recognized as temporarily obstructing any plans for the immediate reduc- tion of armaments.
 Advices from Japan have indicated that strong opposition exists there against any limitation of armaments as it is claimed that Japan an ac- count of her peculiar position is en- titled to exception by other nations from any program of disarmaments.

COMPERS DECLARES
 KANSAS COURT IS
 DANGER TO FARMER
Father of Labor Unions Warns Against Law Restricting
 Rights of Workers

Washington, Sept. 7.-renewed at- tacks upon the Kansas law establish ing court of industrial relations begun by labor organizations at the time of it's enactment last winter, Samuel Gompers, president of the American federation of labor, gave out today copies of letter address ed to central labor bodies in that state, rendering, the aid of the fed eration in efforts to get the measure repealed. MT. Gompers in his letter asked Kansas labob organization to rally farmers around the opposition to the court system for settling in- dustrial controversies, and asserting that agriculturists would suffer from it's continuation.
 The United forces of labor and the farmers should seek the repeal of this new law" President Com pers wrote. "If it is endorsed, the next legislature will go further, as the governor of your state appears to have made it his life work to ham, per the advancement of labor and the farmers.
 Says Farmers Misled.
 By cleverly conceived propa- ganda, many farmers have been led to believe the law would not affect their interests. But should they seek to better their economic condi- tions through their organizations the law can be and undoubtedly will be used to defeat their activities. Through the non-partisan political campaign being conducted by the workers of Kansas, members of the legislature can be questioned as to their stand on bill to repeal the law. Those opposing it should be de- feated."
 MT. Gompers further suggested that a state wide conference of rep resentatives of Kansas labor organ izations be called to make repeal plans effective.

COX DECLARES BIG BUSINESS
 FIGHTING HIM
Democratic Nominee Says Barnes Being Made St.
 Paul of G. o. P.

Minot, N. D., Sept. 7.--Big busi- ness was flayed and progressiveism preached by Governor Cox in q tour today of 200 mics in North Dakota close to the Canadian boundary.
 These issues, together with the league of nations were emphasized to eight audiences composed prin- cipally of farmers, laborers, small business men, women and children Besides two regularly scheduled and extended speeches at Grand Forks early today, and here tonight, the candidate made talks in several cities from the rear platform of his train.
 Great business is seeking his de- feat, Governor Cox declared, by con- tributing largely to the republican funds. Large interests, he asserted are arrayed almost solidly agains, him are "leagued with the senate oligarchy."
 To his audience here tonight and also to others en route, Governor Cox recited former President Roose. velt's fight in 1912 against alleged "reactionary republican leaders,"
 Referring to testimony before the senate campaign fund investigati ing committee of alleged subscriptions by large corporations and wealthy individuals to William Barnes re- publican book, Governor Cox con. tinued:
 "The same old crowd is back in the front line. Barnes, who in Roosc- velt's mind was the Judas of the party has been made it's Saint Paul and has been designated to write the faith of the party for this cam. paign.'
