 JOVIALITY RETURNS

 Committee-Vote g to 6
By HUGH w. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The. Ass- -Hsraid
 kfO navidsou I3uildine.

Washington, January 25.-tSpeciaL) The Underwood amendment appropri- ating $10,000,000 for the completion of the Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals was accepted by the appropriations com- niittee of the Senate this afternoon by a vote of to 6.
 Two republicans, Senators Gronna of North Dakota and sherman of Illinois. voted with the democrats, and thus the amendment will be reported favorably. The House, as Is remembered. declined to appropriate for the completion of the work. When the sundry civil bill, without the Muscle Shoals appropria- ton reached the Senate. Senator Underwood immediately introduced an amendment taking care of the projects. It was this amendment which the com mittee accepted this afternoon.
 The amendment, in all probabilities. will prevail in the Senate. It has the farmers of the country and the demo- crats behind it. Tn addition it has the prestige of the committee support.
 However" Senator Underwood said tonight. do not be deceived into be- lieving that there win not be fight. It will be a strenuous fight. But believe that We will win it."
 It Is no secret that the Muscle Shoals projects depend on the success of the amendment.

GREEK AND TURKISH QUESTIONS D!sPQSED
 .OF FOR THE PRESENT
Progress Is Made Toward Agreement on Measures to Be Taken for Disarma-
 ment of Germany
Bx As.ociated press

Paris, January 25.--The allied
 supreme council today disposed of
 for the moment the Creek and
 Turkish questions, nnd meanwhile
 considerable progress was made
 toward an agreement on measures
 to be taken for the disarmament
 of Germany.
 The allied military experts met in the morning, and soon reached an ac- cord on points concerning which they slightly yesterday. The ques- ton will be finally settled. probably tomorrow afternoon, the morning ses- sion being devoted to separations.
 The conference is about a day be- hind its schedule. and will have some in finishing its labors by the end of the week. Some of the problems may 50 over until the pro- posed allied conference at London. This Is the conference which the su- preme council today decided to call at an early date to settle affairs in the near east and at which repr asanta- tives of Greece and Turkey will te present.
 Great significance is attacked
 here to the decision to Invite the
 Greeks and Turks to meet the nl-
 lies in London. It h regarded ss
 Indicating clearly that the allies
 do not reject the idea of the revi-
 sion of the sevrcs treaty. even If
 all of them are not yet in favor of
 modification.
 Although not specifically stated that the adherents of Mustapha Renal Pa sha, the Turkish nationalist leader. will be asked to send representatives 1t Is assumed that such will be the case, as the conflict now is between the Kemalists and Greeks. Whether tho Armenians will be invited does not appear from the information given out today. It is pointed ut. However. that such a course would in- yolve complications with the bolshe> wiki. in view of the strong position they have gained in Armenia.

b|RMANGHAM'S IDLE NUMBER 5000 SAYS LABOR DEPARTMENT
Figures Represent Reduction of 36 Per Cent In Number Employed Compared With
 Last January
By Associated Press,

Washington, January 25.-- The number of persons em- plcyed in n .stry in th.1 coun- try the first of this month numbered 3,473,466 less than tie number employed a year ago, the department of labor's employment service announced tonight on the basis of a first nationwide survey just com pleted by a special staff of in- vestigators.
 Director John B. Densfnore said this figure did not necessarily represent,the number of persons actually unem- ployed, as 1t was quite possible" that some of the workers had found employ ment in agricultural or other persuits not covered by the survey.
 On the other hand, some Offi-
 cials believed the army of unem-
 plOycd possibly was larger than the
 figures given, no effort wns
 made to ascertain the reduction in
 the number of persons employed i'm
 pursuits other than those chased
 under the head of "mechnnicnl in-
 dustry." s M
 The employment services figures represented q reduction of 36O per cent in the number of workers employed in industry as compared with January, a year ago, and it was announced that they were based lon the concensus of figures from neutral bodies, state labor departments, state commissioners of manufactures, state and municipal em- ployment services, workmen's compen- sation bureaus, employers and em- ployes' organizations and all other sources competent to furnish authorita- tive information.
 MICHIGAN LEADS STATES
 Michigan led the states in p10por- tional reduction, with S2 per cent and Ohio and Indiana followed, with a re- duction in employment of 50 per cent each. Next came Illinois, with A per cent, Connecticut with 43 per cent, Massachusetts with 3S per cent, Wis consin with 32 percent. New Yorka2S per cent and New Jersey, f22 per cent. Percentages for the other states were mot given.
 The largest percentage of reduction in specific industries, 6s per cent. oc- cured in the automobile and accessory industry, and. this was taken to account largely for the great reduction in em- pIoyment in Michigan. This industry, the employment service announcement said, employed about 8 per cent of the total workers in all industries in the country year ago.
 Second in rank in the reduction of employees was the building trades. with approximately 52 per cent. Last Jan- uary about Il per cent of the total in-

EFFORT AT FRAUD
ON VIRGINIA FOUND
Attempt Made to Transfer
Old, Unaccepted State
Notes.

RICHMOND. Va. March 1S.-Per-
petration of a fraud on the State OF
Virginia which may assume gigan-
tic proportions was brought to light
this morning when package of
twenty State bonds of $1,000 de-
domination, engraved for the Com
monwealth in 1882. was received
from a Boston banking house. a let
ter requesting their transfer ac-
companying the package.
The bonds were Immediately rec
ognized as part of a lot refused
by the State when they were pre-
sented by the Kendall Bank Note
Company for acceptance. No reason
was assigned for not accepting the
bonds. but they were never signed
by State officers, as required by law.
When the State refused to accent
the 431 bonds were returned to the
engraving company by express. The
engravers refused to accept the
bonds and brought suit against the
State officers for the amount of the
bills. the litigation costing the State
about 100000.
The bonds were ultimately sold by
the express company as "old hoss"
goods. 1t is thought that the whole
lot was purchased by one man or
group of commissioners.
