co-oPERATIvE STORE WAS
A LOSING INVESTMENT

Washington, Jan. 1.-The cooperative
store, established more than year ago
by $500 employees Of the treasury de-
partnent to decrease living costs, will not
open for business tomorrow, its affairs
having been turned over to a committee
for liquidation. Failure of the enter
prise to receive full cooperation Of its
members and to compete with local chain
stores in the sale of many commodities,
particularly canned goods, is given as the
reason for the closing.
Approximately 100 of the employees
who invested SIS each to found the store
Withdrew before the liquidation process
began. but the remaining $500 members
are said to have slight prospect of saving
their initial investment.

PREMIER BAREs BIG MENACE
Lloyd George Tells Commons that
Poles Menace Peace of Europe
and Violate Treaty.

London, May 16.-Prime Minister
Lloyd George, in a dramatic speech
in the house of commons concerning
the Upper Silesia imbroglio, declared
the action of the Polish insurrection-
lists was a complete defiance of The
treaty of Versailles.
81 am alarmed, am frightened that,
unless some confidence is restored to
the world, the consequences may be
of the most terrible character"
Mr. Lloyd George said there were
two ways Of dealing with the Silesian
situation. One was that troops of the
allies assist in restoring order. It was
not for him to express military opin-
ion, and he did not insist on this part
Of the program, but he was entitled to
insist on an alternative. Either the
allies ought to insist upon the treaty's
being respected, or they ought to al
low the Germans to do so.

GRAIN BILL IS PASSED
Tincher Measure Regulating
Dealings in Future to Senate.
Preeident Of Chicago Board of Trade
Calls Measure Undemocratic
and Arbitrary.

Washington, May 14.-The Tin cher
bill to regulate dealings in gram fu-
lures was passed by the house and
sent to the senate. The vote was 269
to SO.
The measure is designed to abolish
the practice in grain markets of puts"
and "calls,'' ups and downs" and
"indemnities" by levying tax Of 70
cents a bushel on such transactions.
"A similar tax is provided on con-
tracts for future delivery, made out
side Of contract markets" to be des-
ignated by the secretary of agriculture,
except when the seller is the actual
possessor of the grain.
Chicago, May 14.-Giving it as his
deliberate judgment that the grain ex-
changes Of the country will withdraw
from business and close rather than
submit to the 'intolerab1e, unfair and
arbitrary features" Of the Tincher bill
passed by the house of representatives,
President Joseph P. Griffin of the Chi
cago Board of Trade issued formal
attack on the proposed legislation IN
it's present form as undemocratic, ar
bitrary and destructive to business. In
his statement he said:
'The Tincher bill, though passed by
the house, must pass the senate and
be signed by the President before it
becomes a law and / am confident
that neither the senate nor the Presi-
dent will approve it in its present
form"

NAB PRIEST IN MAIL THEFT
Rev. Father Anthony Gorek Of New
Chicago, Ind, Had $4,000 Bonds
Stolen From Toledo, O.

Chicago, May IA. Temptation in the
form of $4,000 in Liberty bonds
sought out Rev. Father Anthony Co
rex. head Of an impoverished Roman
Catholic parish in New Chicago, Ind.
The priest, held as an accessory to
theft. told United States secret serv-
ice agents the dramatic story of how
he had fought a losing battle with the
seductive bonds, and had finally sur
rendered. He had spent $1,140 of the
money to pay the debts of his parish
and to buy food for his jobless parish
toner's.
The secret service agents found the
bonds, amounting to $4,000, less just
the $1,14O, where the priest said he
had hidden them.
On the information which he gave
Mrs. Wanda Urbortis, former pa
rishioner, was arrested in Toledo, O..
It is thought that her confession will
clear the $1,OOO,O00 mail robbery in
the Ohio city in which the bonds were
stolen.

TRUCE BEARER
is UNDER FIRE.
Peace Restored in All Districts
of West Virginia. Kentucky
Mining District.
DEATH LIST WON'T EXCEED 10
Truce Is Declared on the seven-MiIe
Battle Line-PeriIous Trip Made
by Doctor Dotson and
TWO Others.

Williamson, w. Va, May 17.-Sun-
day found comparative quiet in the
mountain regions where for three days
heavy battle has been waged be-
tween industrial forces.
Peace was restored to all districts
excepting the territory adjacent to
Matewan, where sporadic fighting was
reported
Reports from the fight area indi-
Gated the death list in the three-day
battle will not exceed ten, although
many have been wounded
The state police are entrenched in
Matewan, and reports from Captain
Brockus, in charge of the detachment,
stated heavy fighting had ceased and
the situation was well in hand 1t
was believed here federal troops will
not be called unless the threatened
renewal of conflict materializes.
For the first time in week not a
shot was fired during the whole day
on the Seven-mile battle front along
the Kentucky-West Virginia frontier.
A truce has been declared and the
making of that truce must be credited
to the personal heroism under fire of
local physician. DIR. w. A. Dotson.
Doctor Dotson was able to carry out
his mission not only because of his
daring but also because of the ex-
traOrdinary confidence which the sims
pie mountaineers place in his integrity.
Feeling in the villages is running so
high that the slightest breath of sus-
picion would have prevented the bring
ing about of truce.
With Doctor Dotson on his perilous
mission went B. J. Francis and R. NJ.
Mills.
The three messengers were selected
by Captain Brockus of the state police
to visit the stronghold on the Ken
lucky side after the captain had ar
ranged terms of the truce with the
West Virginia fighters. The three
men were placed upon fiat car which
was "kicked" across the Tug river
bridge near McCarr.
The doctor told the correspondent
that as he and his companions set foot
on Kentucky soil hail of bullets from
both sides greeted them. The peace
emissaries sought shelter in the brush
at the foot of mountain and, Indian
fashion, they crawled about half
mile into the village of McCarr. Doctor
Dotson, an influential resident of that
region, commanded the respect of the
mountaineers and they assembled to
hear his message.
Standing upon a sheltered spot, the
physician addressed the fighters, call
ing upon them to lay aside their arms,
cease fighting and abide by the laws
Of the state. After hearing the doctor
mountaineer, said to be at the head
of the McCarr forces, stepped forward
and shook the physicians hand. Turn
ing, he spoke to his followers, COM
handing them to cease firing and heed
the advice Of the doctor.
When the fire from the Kentucky
side subsidized the mountaineers, in the
West Virginia hills living up to their
pledge, laid their rifles aside.

Lower Death Rate in State.

Lower DGdIn 1dIG IN 0LdtGs
Wisconsins death rate for the first
three months of 1921 is considerably
lower than the average for this per-
iod, and represents the lowest for
that quarter ever recorded in the state
since the adoption Of the uniform reg
istration law in 1907. Compared with
the same month of 1920, there is a
material decline in total deaths, and
in deaths from pneumonia and inf1u-
enza, which was epidemic in the same
period of 1920. The state board Of
health, reporting these facts, also says
the death rate from pneumonia and in
f1uenza this year is considerably below
the average for recent years, excluding
the years when influenza was epidem-
ic. Under normal conditions in that
period. about 1900 deaths from pneu-
monia and at least $50 from influenza
might be expected. For the last quar-
ter pneumonia deaths tOtalled S65 and
influenza deaths 81. "The recurrence
of influenza during the winter and
spring months of this year, which was
predicted by some persons, did not ma
teriallze, said the board. Total
deaths in the period were 1907, as
compared with 10,016 for the 1920
quarter. The death rate was 1913,
while last year, when influenza was
epidemic. It was 1916. The northern
counties had the lowest raIe-9.0-
while the central and southern groups
each had e11.3. OF all deaths, 1,272
were of babies under one year, or 17.6
per cent If the total.
