WASHINGTON. Oct. 20.-The noto
OF optimism in official discussion Of
the threatened railroad strike was
more pronounced today. Several
Cabinet members expressed confi-
dcnce that the cooling on period"
which has interviewed since the strike
call had served to lessen the danger
OF a national tie-up.
One of the definite Developments ts
of the day. however. was the an
nouncement that preparations had
been completed for the CO. ordination
under the Commerce Department of
plans for the transportation of es-
scntials should the strike go into
effect.
Look for Freight Rate Cut.
After conference Mt the White
House between President Harding,
Chairman McChord. of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. and Acting
Attorney General Gor, the decided i'm
preston was given that an order
could be expected soon from tho COM
mission putting into effect rcduc-
tion In freight rates.
The only published plan for avert
ing the strike is the suggestion of
the public group of the Railroad
Labor Board, which hinged upon n
rate reduction proportionate to the
July reduction in railroad wages.
The other feature OF this suggestion
embodied the withdrawal OF the
strike order. question which was
regarded as the logical subject before
the conference in Chicago between
the brotherhood chiefs and the Labor
Board.

ARMS CONFERENCE ENTERS CRITICAL STAGE
FORD HUNTS QUAIL;
LAWYER STEPS ON
RABBIT; LISTEN!

Two Of the most remarkable tales
of achievement, both of which ex-
periences are said to have taken
place last Monday while the Christ
mas holiday was being generally OBJ
served and celebrated, have just
come to light. One of them comes
from the lips of Sheriff Harvey, a
man noted for his sobriety and gen.
eral probity; the other from R. Il.
Maynard, whose reputation in that
direction is less substantial, he hav-
ing once before come home from
Florida and related seeing a cow
with moss growing from her horns
and subsequently being tried in the
famed masoloty court for romancing.
According to Sheriff Harvey he
was returning last Monday from Mil
ledgcville where he frd taken pris-
oner. Between Oglethorpe and
Montezuma, some time after dark,
and just as they passed another car,
he called to his driver to stop their
Ford and back up few yards. The
sheriff alighted and picked up two
quail, one of them still quivering.
He brought them home and Mrs.
Harvey cooked them for the sheriff S
supper. "And do you know?" the
sheriff afterwards remarked, she
told me there wasn't shot in either
birds" The sheriff said he supposed
possibly the birds had fallen from the
car, although the absence of any shot
rather dispels this theory.
Col. Maynard, hearing the sheriff's
story, reported being out hunting
Monday afternoon and bringing in
two rabbits without firing shot.
One of them, he said, his companion
hit on the head with the butt Of his
gun, catching it sitting in its "bed. "
The other, Col, Maynard seriously as.
serted, he stepped upon. Just how,
he did not explain sufficiently at the
time, although he denied he was be-
ing pursued and trampled the bunny
when it got in his way.
"But that's nothing" said Mr..
Maynard, 81 have a nephew who
used to be able to pick 'em right up
out Of the "bed;" he just had knack
Of reaching down and grabbing 'em
by the leg"
And everybody laughed.

after he had shot it down and held
