battle of the Marine, that the world
might be safe for democracy" and
Ira Archie Hawley, the man, who had
endeared himself to hundreds here
before he entered the world war. The
funeral held Thursday afternoon was
one of the most largely attended and
impressive ever held in Moscow. It
was full military funeral, and more
khaki uniforms were seen on the
streets of Moscow that day than have
been seen here since the war closed,
as Ira Archie Hawley wanted it to
close with victory for the right.
The cadets of the University of
Idaho, the ex-service men from the
army and navy, were there in uniform
and added color to the military as
pect of the funeral The sermon was
delivered by the Rev. J. Orrin Gould,
student-pastor of the University of
Idaho.
The heartfelt sympathy of the en-
tire community went out to the W1d-
sow, brave Mary Henley Hawley, who
has borne her grief as few could bear
it and who has won the love and es
Ce0m u LIOuSd1luS ny IcI odCilAiSC,
and to the aged parents, whose sacri-
flee is appreciated by all. The body
was laid to rest in the beautiful Mos
COW cemetery, after having been
sburied on the battle field where he
fell, later resurrected and buried in
the American cemetery in France,
and then disinterred and brought to
the home of his boyhood and early
manhod. The funeral was attended
by schoolmates of the hero-soldier and
men and women who had known him
from childhood.

Moscow June 4th, 1898. He attended
the Moscow city schools and the uni

Mary c. Hawley, prominent teacher
in the Whitworth school; by his par
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. N. M. Hawley,
pioneer residents of Moscow, by one
sister and one brother.
His mortal remains now rest be-
meath the sod of his native state.
Dudley Loomis Post, American Le-
.gion, had charge of the funeral, all of
the ex-service men, of whom there
seemed to be hundreds in uniform,
and the firing squad, which fired
farewell shots at the place where our
hero was buried" were under the
command of Mac. P. Bailey, COM
mander of this post. The University
cadets and many former navy men
took part in the funeral. The long
procession marched down third street
from the Methodist church to Main,
with the band playing the funeral

the column spectacle.

NEAR EAST RELIEF
NOT EXTRAVAGANT
NATIONAL FIELD DIRECTOR
TELLS OF COST OF COLLECT
ING AND DISTRIBUTING

That the Near East Relief work is
being handled economically and wei
is shown by the statement of j. w
Mace, national field director, in g
letter to E. R. Headly, Latah county
chairman who has undertaken tc
raise $4,000 for this fund in Latar
county. 1t was charged that the as
sociation is operated on a salary
basis with a large number of en-
ployes and that the cost of soliciting
and disbursing the funds is heavy
On the other hand it was claimed that
there was no overhead expense but
that all of the expense was paid by
Cleveland H. Dodge, New York mil
lionaire and that every cent contri-
buted went to the cause for which it
was given.
It seems that neither of these state
ments are true but that the expense
is light, being about 100000 upon
the amount raised to date which is
placed at SAL 100000. Mr.. Headley
wrote to headquarters to get the facts
and Mr. Mace wrote in reply, giving
this statement. His letter follows:
Mr.. E. R. Headley,
Moscow, Idaho.
My Dear Mr.. Headley:
Your letter of March 17th, ad-
dressed to Mr.. Cleveland H. Dodge,
Treasurer of the Near East Relief is
here acknowledged.
It is not exactly true that Mr..
Dodge pays all of the expenses of
Near East Relief. / feel sure that the
main thing you are anxious to know
is whether the Near East Relief is
run an an economic scale. / am glad
to say to you that during our five
years period of operation, the organi-
zation has administered over SAL ,0OO,-
900 of relief at an overhead expense
of not over per cent. I doubt if any
organization doing a national busi-
ness has been managed more eff
ficiently. am sure that any of your
citizens in Idaho will feel that this
showing is abundant evidence that
the administration has been COM
petent.
Approaching your inquiry, | am,
J. M. MACE,
National Field Director.
The following appeal has just been
received from headquarters by E. R.
Headley chairman Of Latah County:
Dear M. Headley:
Cables are pouring into relief head
quarters pleading for help. There is
no one else but us to help them. The
Near East Relief has extended it's
credit millions of dollars beyond the
sum of money on hand in desperate
effort to tide the children through
until new funds for more adequate
aid are gathered. These funds must
be gathered as quickly as is humanity
possible.
It is imperative that we begin at
once to exert in behalf of these pitt
able orphans every power that God
has given us for doing good. The
children cannot wait. Their little
lives are in the balance. You are
helping to hold the scales.
Yours sincerely,
E. A. POTTER,

SETTLEMENT OF BRITISH COAL
STRIKEUP TOLLOYDCEOR

London, Eng. April lI.-CBy The As
sociated Press)-Thc- respective con-
tcntions of the mine owners and strik-
ing miners arc in tho hands of the
premier. who is to take them under
adviscmcnt and meet representatives
OF the two sides in the coal dispute to-
morrow. .
The conference of the owners and
miners with government officials par
ucipating. met this morning, and at
the request OF the premier submitted
in the afternoon statements Of their
cases. which MIR. Lloyd George has
arranged to discuss with them sepa
ratcly tomorrow after which the joint
conference will be resumed.
Prospects therefore are favorable.
altho 1t is too cary to say that the
crisis has been averted.
Mine owners even IL they were will
ing to make new wage proposals. were
unprepared with any concrete scheme
and present Indications arc that the
conference proceedings will be pro-
tracted.
An official statement announced that
the premier had presided at the after
noon session.
Evan williams made n statement of
the owners case and Frank Hodges
Of the miners case. The premier cS-
pressed desire TO read the state
ments and 1t was agreed no report OF
the statements should be published in
the meantime
Pueblo chieftain., 1921-04-12

1t is significant that. altho in recent
phases of the trouble the government
has taken the attitude that now the
industry has bccn taken out of govern :
ment control. ii was IL matter between
the mine owners and miners. the pre-
micr presided over the conference.
Presence OF tho chancellor OF the
cNchequer gave color to tho reports
that the government contemplatcs af-
fording temporary financisl assist
ance to meet exceptional circumstances
Of poor yielding mines being unable
TO afford wages to provide a decent
standard OF living.
This was indicated by the premier
this morning in his statement on the
governments position. when he said
any permanent contribution to main
tain the industry out of taxes.
According to some unofficial reports
the government will refuse even this
temporary assistance unless the miners
abandon their claim for settlement OF
the wage dispute on national basis
such basis not necessarily meaning
uniform rates OF pay In the different
districts but insurfing universal mini
mum living wages. AS 1t II believed
the miners Will insist on national
settlement. 1t would seem premature
TO predict u peaceful outcome of the
conference.
The triple alliance tonight issued a
manifesto setting forth its case in de-
tail for firmly supporting the miners
in resisting tho ''monstrous proposals
of the mine owners and defending the
standards Of living of tho working
class and the vital trade union policy
of national wage agreements"
Tho manifesto blamcs tho premier
and the government for the trouble and
strongly protests against calling up the
reserves and the governments odious
cxpedient of forming n volunteer force
as an instrument against organized
labor whereby the government lightly
assumed the responsibility OF provoke
ing bloodshcd and civil war;
