c. E. Green, white, of Gerome, was bound over to await the action of the federal grand jury with bond fixed at $500 by United States Commits sioner Burnett yesterday after a hearing in which Green was charged with using the mails to defraud.

ALLIES AND U, s.
 IN CONFERENCE
 AT WASHINGTON
Delegates Former War Band ed Nations Meet for First
 Meet Since That at Paris

Washington, Oct. 8.-Equality o1 service and unrestricted access to all parts of the world were set forth as the object to be sought in interna- tional communications by Uunde1 Secretary Davis today in welcoming delegates of the five allied and as- sociated powers to the first prelim- | mary session of the International ! Communications conference. Cues tions of strategy and selfish interest would not be supported by public opinion, he said, in the cooperative effort to increase communication fa- cilities for every country.
 Delegates from France, / Great Britain, Italy, Japan and the United States, were present at the formal opening of the conference at the state department, the first confer ence in which the United States has participated formally with the al- lied powers since the conclusion of the Versailles treaty. It was called by President Wilson some months ago with the approval of congress and as result of the decision of the council of five in Paris in 1919 to leave the allocation of the German cables and questions affecting in- ternational communications to such ia body.
 May Discuss Service.
 Aside from agreeing upon allo- cation of the cables ceded by Ger many which is one of the primary questions to be settled at this con- ference" Secretary Davis declared, Git is believed this conference will also be able to arrive at a common understanding relative to more im- portant aspects of the problem, namely the increased efficiency in existing cables and unhamptered fa- cilities for the establishment of ad- ditional cables and radio service throughout the world.'
 Responses were made by the head of the allied delegations, who reiter- ated the hope expressed by MT. Davis for the promotion of free intercourse between nations by means of cable and telegraph.
 Upon motion by Ambassador Shi- dehara, chairman of the Japanese del- egation, Secretary Davis was made president of the preliminary confer ence.
 It was decided that the conference should function largely throug com mittees with only occasional general meetings.
 The conference committees will hold their first meetins Monday.

GERMANY WOULD BUY U. 5. COTTON
 OFFICIAL CLAIMS
Governor Harding Says if Germans Given Credit Crop
 Situation is Solved

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. S.-W. P. G. Harding, governor of the federal reserve board, with D. c. Wills, new member of the board, met here today with the directorate of the Atlanta branch and discussed the movement to hold cotton for 40 cents pound. 1 sponsored by the American Cotton Association.
 L. B. Johnson director of the Georgia Bureau of Markets, who said he was speaking for ninety per cent of the banks in his state, made a plea before the board for more liberal extension of credit to south ern planters, claiming they need the money to pay off debts incurred while producing the present cotton crop and that great majority of planters seeking funds are not do- ing to with the intent to finance themselves while holding cotton off the market.
 Governor Harding announced to- night that Birmingham is to have q sub-treasury of the United States immediately in the sense that the local branch of the federal reserve bank will perform the functions of a sub-treasury, although sub-treas- uries as such have been abolished by law after July 1, 1921.
 Champions Export Idea. C1nx,
 sociation idea tonight, Governor Harding declared he had been in- formed by commercial agent of the German government in the United States that Germany alone is in need of 100000 bales of cotton, has mills with which to spin it and workmen to operate the mills, but that it's money is so depreciated it cannot pay for the cottn in cash. Under we'll organized cotton port organization" Governor Hard ing said, "we could ship our raw cotton to Germany under an ade- quate guaranty by the German banks and the German government. The cotton would be manufactured into cloth and the manufacturered pro- ducts disposed of to nations whose currency has not depreciated, and in the end the Germans could pay us for our cotton in good, American dol lars.
 This system would have to ex- tend over period of nine months to allow for the shipment of the cotton to Europe, it's manufacture, and the sale of the finished product.
 Tn my opinion the first 10000 bales of cotton shipped abroad un- der this system and with this guar anty, would have an instantaneous effect in stimulating the entire cot ton situation. To my mind it is the greatest opportunity in the South tOday"

White Announces
 New Demo Slogan

New York, Oct. 8.-George White committee, today announced a new slogan adopted by supporters of the league of nations idea for the re. maineder of the campaign.
 It is, "no separate peace with Ger. many"
 This rallying cry, MT. White said "is echoed in the hearts of all who favor the league. We have written indelibly upon our purpose here at national headquarters"
 "The Democratic party resents this shameful proposal which can arise only from desire to truckle to the sentiments of those who sym pathized with the kaiser during the war.
 "We are for the treaty of Versail- les, which includes the covenant of the league of nations, and the Repub- are committed to a separate peace deserting our allies and permitting the Germans to escape all obligation which defeat laid upon them.
 "The first prominent Republican to resent it publicity, learn is Her. bert Parsons, former New York con- gressman and former Republican na- tional committeeman. He has de- cirded to support the league by the only practical means. We welcome him, fighting with us for a cause beyond partisanship. There will be more."

CORN CROP MAY BELARGEST IN THE
 HISTORY OF U. 5.
Government Estimates Yield to Go We'll Over Three
 Million Bushels

Washington, Oct. 8-The 1920 corn promises to the the largest in the history of the country by more than ninety million bushels.
 A yield of 3,216,192 bushels, com pared with the previous record pro- duction of 24,746,OOO bushels in 1912, was forecast today by the de- partment of agriculture from con dition of 891 on October first. The yield would exceed that of last year by practically 3OO,OOO,OOO bushels Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri will lontribute practically all of the in. crease.
 Favorable weather during Septem- Der increased the prospects for this year by s5,0OO,OOO bushels. The great bulk of the crop is now safe, gov ernment experts said.
 Shows Much Rust
 Spring wheat is threshing out poorer than had been forecast be- cause damage, principally from rust, had proved greater than anticipated The yield was estimated today at nineteen million bushels less than was forecast a month ago, this loss reducing the combined winter and spring wheat yield to 750,648,00O bushels, about 1s0,OO0,O0O bushels be- low the big crop of last year.
 Threshing of oats confirm the ear Her forecast, the indicated yield be- ing 1,444, ,362, ,00O bushels, almost 20O,- 000,000 bushels more than last years yield.
 Although the tobacco crop showed a loss during Septecber of 75,O00,- 900 pounds in the expected yield, the forecast of 1,478,7Ss,OOO pounds is 89,O00,000 pounds larger than last years prediction.
 A bountiful crop of potatoes also was forecast, the yield being esti- cated at 414,9s6,0OO bushels, an in crease of 2,O53,OOO bushels since Sep terber 1.

Roads East of Colorado Order. ed to Send All Cars to
 Mines

Washington, Oct. 8.-Action to sat, isfy demands for domestic coal ir various states was taken tonight by the Interstate Commerce Commission in an order requiring railroads east of Montana, Wyomings Colorado anc New Mexico to furnish coal cars tt mines in preference to any other use Former orders of this character ap piled only to east of the Mississipp River. The present order, the com. mission said would run until further notice, but be relaxed as the situation warranted.
 The commission also ordered all outstanding permits for use of coal cars for other freight cancelled, but that arrangements to continue the movements of certain other essen tials, such as sugar beets to factory would be made.
 To Meet Needs
 Working in conjunction with coal operators and railroads a program has been formulated, the committee said, it is expected substantially to meet domestic coal needs.
 Attention is being given to needs of domestic consumers in other states the commission added.
 After October IA, preferential car supply for public institutions will be afforded only upon approval of the commission.
 DaSnifa an incraaso in coa1 produc tion, which up to September 25, ex- ceeded that of last year by 51,0O0,O00 tons, the commission said, "there has not been a sufficient production of the sizes of coal for domestic purpos- es to satisfy the present demands"

Brooklyn Manager Says His Team Has Winning Edge and the Players Are Determined
 to Keep It

Cleveland, O., Oct. 8.-Encamped upon their own reservation the Cleve- land Indians will renew their battle for Worlds series honors here to- morrow. The Brooklyn National, conquerers in two out of three of the eastern games, are likely to find their rivals far different combina- tion from the one they played against at Ebbets field.
 Cleveland fairly radiates confi- dence tonight and the Indians can- not fail to be inspired to greater baseball play by the calm assurance and backing which refuses to con- cede further defeat for the home team. Cleveland and it's citizens are prepared to show the baseball world what home backing and roofing will do toward uplifting the players mo- rale and putting winning punch into the attack of the Indians.
 Although the baseball amphithea- tre holds less than 30,000 spectators, fully half of that number of out of town fans are here tonight clamor- ing for place to sleep and a chance to buy a ticket at any price. Rooms are unavailable except in private houses, for every hotel is quartering twice it's normal quota. Tickets can still be had, but at cost which would stagger the baseball fan of midsummer. Single seats for Sat- urday's game were offered for sale at from $15 to $35 {, according to location. Despite the efforts of the club officials to discourage the prac- tice, sales mere readily made this afternoon and evening in the spread between these figures.
 Indians Confident. s
 Chief Iris Speaker and his war riors, once they felt the familiar trails under their spiked moccasins this afternoon chanted their war cry with renewed vigor and proclaimed that Cleveland Indian is never de- feated until his scalp lock is lost.
 Wilbert Robinson, the Robins TO- tund leader, had his Indian killing Brooklynites out for preliminary manouevers in the Cleveland wig wam this afternoon and reported no; early ambushes All he would say was:
 "We have a winning edge now and expect to hold it."
 Close followers who have viewed the battles to date with impartial eyes express the opinion that the super-pennant will be won and lost back on the plains of Brooklyn. Those who lean strongly to the belief that the home team will win out here give the Indian three games and the Robins one.
 Much is expected to depend upon the manner in which the Brooklyn players react to the real Worlds Se- ries roofing.
 Speaker is expected to start Cove elskie. The latter has had three days rest. Brooklyn batters stated emphatically on the way west that they would surely beat the second time out. The first of the games here probably will be free hitting contest.
 To hold in check any such tendency on the part of the Indians, Manager Robinson will probably select either Jeff Pfeffer or Al. Mammux, and the result of the fourth game of the se-l ries may prove the turning point or the entire games.

ing to its judgment and the ,consti- tuition.
 The fallacy of this position has been exposed again and again. Arti- cle ten in words of utmost precision binds us to an obligation which under certain circumstances will require the use of armed forces. It is true that the constitution invests congress with the sole power to declare war but if war shall become necessary in order to fulfill this or any other treaty provision, congress must eith. CT declare war or repudiate the ob- ligation.
 "This obligation assumed by the signatories to the covenant is abso- lute and unqualified. Whenever cer- tain specified circumstances arise no matter how much we might regret it, we would have to keep our promise or sneak out of it. Let no one be deceived; the choice would be be. tween two things:-War and dishon. or.'
