Washington, Oct. 6.-ConvictiOn that
the United States cannot refrain from
active participation in the settlement
of economic and financial difficulties
confronting the world is expressed by
special committee of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States, just
back from an extended trip through
European countries, where government
officials and business leaders were in
terviewed.
On the committee are Joseph H. De-
frees of Chicago, president of the

chief obstacle at present to a re-
turn to normal business conditions
throughout the world, the committee
asserts, is found in present wars and
in the continued threat of new wars.
Business will not resume it's forward
movement, it is declared, until the men
ace of war is removed.
"keep Troops on Rhine"
Conclusions of the committee are:
There is a heavy financial burden in
vOlved in continuing the armies of oc-
cupatiOn, but the removal of this load
depends on some effective plan for the
maintenance of peace, on which the
nations shall unite.
The United States and the allies
should present a solid front in demand
ing that Germany make good in the
matter of reparations.
The United States should participate
in the work of the reparations COM
mission and in the work of the other
commissions ROW existing or to be Gre
ated, which may deal with economic
and financial questions which affect
the United States. There should be
formed an international commission of
business to aid the reparations COM
mission in working out difficult finan-
ciaI problems concerning reparations.
The United States should not with
lraw at this time her army on the
Rhine.
Worlds Standard Falls One-HaIf.
The committee found further that:
The world is operating on basis of
ess than one-half of the prewar stand
ard.
The consumption of 30O,00O,OOO per-
sons is reduced to 80 per cent of nor
nal.
The stronger nations cannot advance
credit to relieve the situation unless
here is assurance of stable conditions.
Peace still is not established, three
years after the armistice.
The present German government is
trying to meet the required repara-
tons payments.
If the opposition gets control in Ger
many and attempts to evade Or repudi-
ate the reparation settlements a crisis
| will be precipitated which will be a
! still further menace to peace.
France and other countries border
ng on Germany need protection
| against future attacks.
| Financial aid cannot be extended to
| Germany to enable her to purchase
raw materials with which to manu-
facture goods for the purpose of pay
| ing her obligations unless there re-
mains strong central government
The United States, in the opinion of
| The committee, holds peculiarly re-
| sponsible position in the present stu
| alton, and as q matter of economic
| necessity cannot afford to shirk her
| duties"

Reform Members of the City Council
Have Been Active for Months
Spending Public Money
The Whole Country Toured at Public Expense to
Find New Ways of Hitting
the Tax Payers

Committees of reform Aldermen
have spent the summer touring the
Eastern states in search of new ways
to soak the taxpayers of Chicago.
If the city had more reform alder
men it would be bankrupt. Most of
our reform aldermen are interested in
everything except low taxes. We are
moved to say this because twenty-five
aldermen departed Saturday night for
a tour which will include st. Paul,
Vancouver, Portland, San Francisco,
Los Angeles, Ell Paso, and New Or
leans. Chairman Govier and members
of the council living costs committee
will look into fruit and vegetable
prices in Oregon, Washington, and
California, also investigating alleged
combines of fruit growers.
The trip will cost the taxpayers
about $4,000.
When a Chicago police official
heard Judge Fitch of the Criminal
Court had ruled he would not allow
confessions of prisoners to be intro
duced as evidence in trials, he said
95 per cent of the work of the depart
ment will be nullified if the policy is
permitted to prevail. The judge ex-
rlained he was acting in accordance
with a Supreme Court ruling given in
the case of Nick Viano, hanged re-
Gently for murder.
The court held that confession
obtained after long mental and phys
ical fatigue should be construed as
having been forced. 1t was pointed
out by the police official that few, if
any, prisoners confess except after
lengthy examination.

law, and that it will be impossible for

Oak Park has insulted the Metho-
dists by changing the name of Wesley
leading street in Berlin-Under Der
Linden Aside from the trouble caused
to citizens on account of change of
street name by mail going astray and
many other things, this fling at the
Methodists is uncalled for. Chicago

four QUESTIONED
IN TAXI MYSTERY:
ONE IS 1 WOMAN

Another arreSt-that of a woman
was made Friday afternoon in the
investigation of the murder of
Charles Dorsey, driver for the Bryant
Taxicab company, on the night of
February %, on South Boulevard.
Mrs. NJ Brazell, thirty years old,
of So Strong street, was brought to
police station by Detectives Whitley
and Powers. She is held on a
blanket charge of suspicion. The ar
resting officers refused to state why
she was arrested except that it was
in connection with the Dorsey mys-
terry. Three men are also held in
connection with the case.
They are C. R. Williams and
Ed S. Williams, brothers, and B. M.
Armstrong The Williams boys live
at 1877 GlennWood avenue, "a block
from the corner of Cherokee avenue,
where Dorsey is supposed to have
picked up a fare on the night of the
murder. Armstrong works for them
at a candy kitchen they conduct at
1913 West Mitchell street.
The arrests were made at exactly
the same hour Thursday afternoon
by separate squads Of officers-Ed
williams taken at the GlennWOod
avenue home and c. r. Williams and
Armstrong at the candy kitchen City
detectives, county officers and at
taches of the solicitors office all join
ed in making the raids
C. r. Williams was held without
bond Friday morning at the police
station. Ed Williams and Armstrong
were at the Fulton county tower. All
three had been questioned closely by
Solicitor Boykin and other officials,
each protesting his innocence of any
knowledge of the Dorsey murder If
they can prove alibis for the night
of the murder. they will be released
| forthwith.
Several circumstances led to the
arrest of the Williams boys. The
police say they are whisky runners
and that they had recently accused
John Dorsey, brother of Charlie Dor
! sey, of taking liquor from them. John
Dorsey is now held at the tower. On
the theory that the Williams boys
ordered taxicab to help them in
distributing whisky; that Dorsey
who they know we'll, refused to help
them; and that they then feared him
| because of his knowledge of the
whisky, the police arrested the VIII
|Eams BOYS. Armstrong was taken on
| suspicion.

BY THEODORE TYLLER

WASHINGTON, March lire
publican patronage seekers, demand
ing the immediate decapitation of
Democratic office holders, have been
joIted by d statement by Harry NJ.
Daugherty, the new attorney gem
eral, who discussed patronage and
other topics at his first conference
with Washington newspaper CORE
spondents yesterday.
Meeting the correspondents for
the first time, Attorney General
Daugherty plainly indicated there is
to be no wholesale discharge of
Democrats simply because they are
Democrats.
In cases where district attorneys
and United States marshals have
commissions that have not yet ex-
pired it is the plan of Mr.. Daugh-
erty to allow them to serve out their
terms, provided they have properly
performed their duties.
Informal announcement of this
policy confirms previous exclusive
dispatches to The Journal that the
Harding administration is not to
start out with a wholesale political
slaughter of Democrats. Mr.. Daugh-
erty said this was a Republican adj
ministration but his department
would be a department Of justice
and not partisan politics. AS Dem
ocratic commi@Gions cvpire Repub-
licans will be named, but so far as
Daugherty is concerned district at
torneys. marshals and other agents
of the department of justice holding
commissions yet to run are safe
for the present.

erywhere.

MED|ATORS' WORK
APPARENTLY FAILS
IN ABBA. STRIKE

Failure of mediation in the strike
on the Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic railroad was indicated Friday
when correspondence between the
members of the federal mediation
board and Receiver B. l.. Bugg was
given to the press. 1t was shown in
these communications, which have
passed between the parties during
the past two or three days, that the
mediators, Judge w. L. Chambers
and Whitehead KIuttz, consider that
| Receiver Bugg has refused to ac-
cept mediation.
The receiver, as, indicated in his
letters to the mediators, holds to
the position that he cannot accept
any proposition which would bind
him to agree to pay wages beyond
the power of the road to earn. He
insists that for him to agree to any
proposition of mediation or arbitra-
ton that would leave open the
question of agreeing to pay money
tn railroad cannot earn, would be
tantamount to leaving open the
.
possible.
Having set out his views in two
letters to the mediators, Receiver
Bugg Friday at noon received a final
communication from the commits
sioners declaring that they construed
his position to be one of refusal to
| mediate except with reservations
cSihla
under the circumstances.
It was indicated Friday by the
mediation commissioners, after re-
| ceiving Colonel Bugg's final COM
munication, that they would present
| the facts in the case directly 10
President Harding at Washington
| D. c., and seek his aid in arriving at
settlement Of the strike. They
assert that the A, B. & A. situa-
| ton threatens to extend its lntlu-
ence to the other railroads of the
country and result in serious COM
plications unless an agreement is
reached in the near future
Partial Service Resumed
Partial train service over the road
was resumed Friday morning, when
a passenger train left Atlanta fol
Manchester, Ga. an important juno
ton point on the system. The train
operated as No. and left from
| the Haynes avenue station, one
block south Of the terminal.
1t is scheduled to return Friday
afternoon as No. Is, carrying mail
express and passengers. Loca
| freight service was also operated
between Lineville, Ala, and Biz
mingham on Friday, volunteer
crew running the train. -....
! Colonel Bugg stated Friday that
plans were practically perfected for
| the resumption Of increased passen'
ger and freight service early next
week, although he indicated that
normal conditions would not be at
tanned. Many applications are be-
ing received from railroad men an
xious to secure places vacated by
the strikers, according to the rail-
road officials and careful aXamina-
ton is being made in each case be-
fore the man is put to work.
That enough men will be secured
to operate several passenger and
| freight trains next week, was the
prediction made by the receiver.
