Writes from Russell, Idaho

The Herald is in receipt of a letter
from Owen f. East, written at Rus
sell, Idaho, last Tuesday, in which
Mr. East writes that he is laid up
with a fractured foot. Mr. East and
his brothers recently purchased a gen
eral merchandise store at Nez Perez,
Idaho, and a couple of weeks ago he
came back to Boomers Ferry to make
a shipment of household goods and
stock At Hillyard, enroute to his
new home, he met with the accident
that will keep him laid UP for two
weeks more.
Mr.. East says it has been raining
continuously at Russell and that IS
per cent of the wheat is still in the
fields and there is not much of a
chance to get to thresh it, He says
many of the farmers in that section
have money to burn but that q large
percent of the farmers will have a
hard time to pull through this winter

President Wilson yesterday re-

This action followed many appeals

who wrote:
The President has received your
telegram of October 6 with reference
to the wheat situation and has re-
ceived a number OF others of a
similar tenor. He fully recognizes
the Importance OF the questions you

look into the matter at the earliest
possible moment with a view to de-

"Wife in Eyes of
Cod" " She Says
In Insurance Suit

indianapolis, Oct. 15.-Contending
that she was his wife in the eyes
of God" Alma Rosbeck Tieke today
sought recovery in Federal court of
$500 war risk insurance of Carl
Fred Tieke, killed in action in the
Meuse-Argonne.
The suit told of a maria ge
planned but prevented by the call
to arms and the inability of her
lover to obtain a furlough. The lit
tie home was planned and the fur
niture bought. When Tieke finally
did get back to the city for one
day it was Sunday and there was
no way Of getting a marriage Ii
cense.
So they pledged themselves as
man and wife before God and sealed
their agreement with a kiss. They
never saw each other again. Tieke's
$4,000 insurance was allotted his
estate, because he could not leave IL
to a girl without having been le-
gally married.

LOANS REFUSED
TOCOTTON MEN
Reserve Board Unmoved by
Excited Stories of I'm
pending Ruin.

The Federal Reserve Board was
bombarded all yesterday with de-
mands by cotton brokers from the
South that the board reverse or sus-
pend its ruling making cotton pa
per ineligible for rediscount.
If their request was refused they
stated, cotton growers and cotton
factories would be ruined to such
an extent that they would pull
down the entire financial structure
of the country with them.
At the end of the arguments, in
which several United States Sena-
tors participated as spokesman for
the farmers, Gov. Harding declared
the Federal Reserve Board could
only base its decisions on the Re
serve Act, and was therefore un-
able to discriminate.
From a hin government official
1t was learned that the position si
the government is as follows:
IF the Federal Reserve Board
were to grant special and unre-
stricted credits to farmers, cotton
producers, and cotton brokers, an
immediate rush of agriculturalists
for credit would result The de-
mands for loans would probably
aggregate several billion dollars,
and imitation of prices for farm
products would Immediately result.
This, it is asserted, would wreck
the entire defation policy of the
board, throw the currency of the
country on a paper basis, and Gre
ate worse condition of imitation
than has been experienced at any
time durin or since the war"

Federal Agents to Give Un-

The Department of Justice def
nitely announced today that the re-
suits of investigation into prices
charged by coal operators and deal
'ers would be laid before grand juries
in Scranton, Pa; Martinsburg. w.
Va, and probably in Cleveland, Ohio,
on Monday. The statement was made
that the facts to be handed to the
grand jury in Scranton would bear
upon persons engaged in the anthra-
cite coal business and those laid be-
fore the grand jury in Martinsburg
would have to do with the bitumi-
nous coal men,
The departments investigation
was the outcome of numerous COM
plants against high prices of coal
not only at the mine, but in cities
where it was being sold to con-
sumers for over SIS a ton. The
prosecutions to be begun Monday
are expected to have a salutary sf-

|Eleventh-hour Efforts of

London. Oct 1s.-Tbe British coal
strike which is foIeseen as the
most tremendous demonstration Of
labor's power the world has ever
seen, will go into effect at the close
of the days work in the mines
tomorrow.
Eleventh-hour efforts to prevent
the men from going out failed The
government heads and the mine
leaders conferred today, and when
the meeting was over the executives
of the miners sent out the strike
order telegram

The official statement on the sub
ject was: I'm view of the govern
ments unsatisfactory reply the dis
tricts have been notified by teIe-
gram to cease work tomorrow"
Robert Smillie. chief of the Fed
GRAFTON of Miners, said that he re-
GREETED that the strike was neces-
sary, and appealed to the miners
for unity and asked them to fight
to the bitter end. 1t was reliably
predicted that the strike might last
six weeks.
Sympathy WaIkouts Feared.
The government is now recon-
ciled to the fact that the 1,200, ,00o
miners, the keystone of Great Brit

perity will down tools" There is
Widespread feeling that the rail-
waymen will join in the strike If
their assistance becomes necessary.
Theh situation is viewed as a sub
stantial threat against the estab-
lished order of things in Great
Britain, and for that reason the
government. too, is prepared to go
to the bitter end. The governmen nj
is definitely ranged on the side OF
the owners.
Theh first step in defense was
taken this afternoon when the ex-
portation of coal from Great Brit
ain was halted. Now British YES
sesls coming to British ports will
not be permitted to coal -The-next
several days will be used IN making
an inventory OF the coal on hand
When this is completed some ar

blood poisoning that followed a
monkey bite, has created a political
condition that is now being care

His death would bring sharply
to the fore the need of a new form
of government. In Switzerland, for

Alexander, has been forbidden to
come to Athens by Premier Veni-
