LABOR MAKES NEW THREAT.
Would Defeat Members Of Congress Who Oppose Federal Rail Control

Washington, Jans 26 Defeat of all members of congress who refuse to join in the movement for 2-year ex- tension of government control of the railroads was threatened today by q delegation representing organized la bor and agriculture from Wiscnsfn, Minnesota and Nebraska.
 The three brought reproof from Senator Kellogg of Minnesota, one of the railroad conferees who listened to the. arguments. Senator Kellogg said. after David Kugler, representing the trades council of Milwaukee had de- clared that Wisconsin labor unions and farm organizations proposed to bring about the defeat of their repre- sentatives who fail to follow out their wishes on this issue.
 The threats to defeat members have no terrors for me- continued Senator Kellogg. and should not have any effect upon any member of con gress. The question is: What is best for all the people?r

DANIELS SENDS HIS
 AWARDS TOSENATE
Eight High Decorations Bestowed by Secretary On His Own Initiative Tells Why Knight Board
 Was Ignored.

Washington. Jan. 27.-A list of 114 Naval officers designated by Secre- tary Daniels to receive war service decorations without action by the Knight board, was transmitted by the secretary today to Chairman Hale of the senate naval affairs committee. which is Investigating the whole sub ject of naval awards. It supplements a list of enlisted men sent to the com mittee yesterday
 The list of officers showed eight dis. tinguished service medals were award ed by the secretary on his own initi- ative The recipients included Rear Admiral William S. Benson, chief of operations during the war: Rear Ad- miral w l.. Capps, a member of the war industries board, and Thomas A.
 Edison. president of the naval consult ing board. The others. with the excep- ton of that awarded to- Lieutenant Commander Daniel T. Ghent, who commanded the transport Antilles when she was sunk by submarine October IF, 1917, went to officers who directed the mine sweeping operations in the North Sea.
 Of the l06 navy crosses, ninety were awarded to officers who served with the mine sweeping forces that cleaned up the North Sea barrage.
 This work, the secretary explained, was not completed in time to permit consideration of suitable awards by the Knight board. The remaining navy crosses went to transport con- manders, submarine, destroyer and aviation officers.
 Secretary Daniels will appear be- fore the committee on Friday, when the inquiry in the decoratons awards is resumed, the date having been changed from Thursday at the secre- tary's request.
 Rear Admiral Sims Denounced. Washington, Jan 27-Rear Admir- al Sims, leading figure in the naval decorations controversy and in the pending senate investigation of the navy's conduct of the war, was vigor- ously attacked today in the House by Representative Byrnes, Democrat. South Carolina. Declaring that if the admiral was admonished by high naval official not to let the British pull the wool over his eyes as he testified recently before the Senate naval dec orations committee. he violated con- fidence in making the instructions pub lie. Representative Byrnes. said he deserved the condemnation of every American and a dishonorable dis charge from the navy"
 Characterizing Admiral Sims as a Ihyphenated politician. Mir. Byrnes charged that when serving as con- mander of the American naval forces in European waters during the war he had slibelled the army and deprecia- ted the work of the navy and had urged that the United States leave the control of the seas to Great Britain.

STRIKERS FACE ARREST.
But State Will Be Friendly" f They Resume Work Today.

Topeka, Jan 26-The Kansas min CTS. who went on a protest strike in Crawford county today must be back at work tomorrow morning or there will be wholesale arrests of the min CTS and their leaders and prosecutions for violations of the new industrial court law. If the miners want to make an actual test of the law so that fo one will get into trouble and be com pelled to suffer consequences the state is prepared 10 arrange for speedy trial in friendly lawsuit. If the nl1n- CTS want to make a test of the law without regard to what may happen to them, the state is also prepared and it Is going to act promptly
 State officials and Governor Allen have figured on getting test of the law in the court as promptly as possi- ble
 The law is intended to give tue miners a just tribunal in which a fair and impartial adjustment Of their grievances may be had under the guarantee of the state. I feel that every fair minded citizen of Kansas wilt regret the refusal of the miners to give this court and the new law de cent st.cs:s s fair fair

AGAIN HOPE FOR
 PEACE TREATY
Towering on Verge of Dissolution, Ne gotiations Take 4S-Hour Lease of Life-Party Recrimina-
 tions Rage.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Peace treaty compromise negotiations, lowering on the verge of dissolution, were given today new 4S-hour lease on life. But there was nothing in the development which changed the pessimistic view of the senate leaders as to the final oLt.ome
 The Democrats. reply Ing to the Re- publican refl3al to comLromise on ar ticle ten an1 the Monroe Doctrine, charged at a stormy session of the bipartisan compromise conference that Republican leaders had suddenly changed front after most of the con- ferees had consented to an article ten compromise in definite form. To this the Republicans opposed categorical denial, declaring no one at all had agreed to the proposed compromise draft
 After two hours of wrangling. dur ing which the Democrats threatened to transfer the whole subject to the open senate, the conference agreed to meet again Thursday in another ef- fort to bring the negotiations to sue cessful conclusion. A few senators pro- fessed to see some rays of hope in the situation, but to most of the leaders the outlook appeared far from promis- ing.
 Numerous private conferences on both sides followed, with the leaders feeling out sentiment carefully as they approached the final showdown that may come at Saturdays meeting. In some quarters it was believed that in the interval President Wilson would take hand to stiffen the resistance of the Democrats. but while house of ficials were silent and Senator Hitch. cock of Nebraska, the acting Demo cratic leader of the senate, declared he was proceeding without knowledge of tho presidents views on the speci- fic compromise reservations discussed in the conference

 Test New Law in Friendly Suit.

Pittsburg. Kas., Jan 26. Alexander Howat virtually declared today that state of war existed between the labor unions of Kansas, particularly the coal miners and the new industrial court law of Kansas Miners will be asked to leave Kansas.
 Alexander Howat declared tonight that he will not order off the strike of 450 coal miners who refused to work today as protest against the law, adding that the men refused to work on their own accord and that the or der for the strike was not issued from miners headquarters.
 Mir. Howat said further that the fn- ternational officials of the miners and the officials of the twenty or more districts are squarely behind the min CTS of Kansas and their official repre- sentatives in the fight against the in dustrial court law
 Strike Not Authorzed.n
 When the miners of Kansas feel disposed not Go work they are not go- ing to-" MT. Howat said The strike was not authorized by mine officials and has come as result of miners opposition to the industrial court measure Not only is this opposfon shared by the coal diggers of the state but also by Kansas labor in general
 Mir. Howat declared that as con- sequence of the passage of the indus trial court bill, national officials of the United Mine Workers, in a nation wide publicity campaign. are going to urge miners to keep out of Kansas. to boycott the Kansas fields He said the advertisements urging this would be inserted in the Mine Work CTS Journal, the miners official or gan. He added that he had been fur nished with information to the effect that great numbers of Kansas miuers are going to leave the state because of the new law
 T am advising all men who wish to leave the state to do so at their earli- est convenience" he said. T am of the opinion that Governor Allen proposed the industrial court bill after becom- ing prejudiced against the miners of District 14 for not returning to the mines when he pleaded with them to do so during the first days of the na- tional strike"

IS SOME PLANET TRYING TO SIGNAL
Question Looming in Minds of Scien- lists Because of Strange Happen ings to Wireless-Marcon
 Is Interested.

London, Jan. 27 Interruptions of the Marconi wireless instruments by mysterious undecipherable signals which were noted before the war and have been publicly referred to since, are especially featured in the Daily Mail this morning and discussed by Marconi in an interview published by the paper.
 We occasionally get very queer sounds and indications, which come from somewhere outside the earth, ? said Signor Marconi We have had them both in England and America. The Morse signal letters occur with much greater frequency than others, but We have never picked up any thing that could be translated into a definite message.
 "The fact that the signals have oc- cured simultaneously at New York and London. with identical intensity seems to indicate that they must have originated at a very great distance We have not yet the slightest proof of their origin. They might be consider ably due to some natural disturbance at great distance, for instance, an eruption of the sun causing electrical disturbances.
 Asked whether possibly attempts were being made by another planet tc communicate, Signor Marconi said:
 I would not rule out the possibility of this, but there is no proof. We mus investigate the matter much more thoroughly before we venture upon 2 definite explanation
 He added that the mysterious sounds are not confined to any parti- cular diurnal period, they are equally frequent day and night.

TEACH HOME ECONOMICS AT
 NIGHT SCHOOLS OVER STATE

Fayetteville, Ark, Jan. 26.-The training in home economies now being given over the state in night schools is arousing an active interest in Arkansas in favor of the bill now be- fore Congress to allow more money for home economic work in the state. says Miss Stella Palmer, head of the department of home economies of the University of Arkansas. Miss Palmer recently returned from a tour of the state inspecting the schools where vo- eesattiiofis;ail eesattiiofis;ail work ii:. heae economics is being given. According to the present law, appropriation is based on urban population, but since Arkansas pop ulation is principally rural it is felt that such an arrangement is unfair and that the basis should be the gen. eral population.
