BRITISH COAL
STRIKE PARLEY ON

LONDON. May 2s.-(U nj e d
Press )-conferences designed TO end
the coal strike were resumed today,
when the miners presented thir re-
ply TO Premier Lloyd Georges latest
proposals.
The press appeared to be optimis-
tic. although admitting that little
progress was made In yesterdays
conferences. Union leaders express
ed disappointment at the Premier's
failure to increase the proposed gov
ernment subsidy.
The Daily Herald. radical labor
organ, declared that Lloyd George
had made no concessions and that
the miners would stand by their
original demands.
owing TO the absence OF railway
facilities. due TO the fuel shortage,
the authorities are planning TO use
the dirigibie R-33 and several air

SUMMERLIN IS
in MEXICO CITY.
Takes Up Question of.
United States Recogni-
tion With Obregon .
NO GUARANTEES =
ARE DEMANDED

WASHINGTON, May 2s Omitted
Press )-George T. summeriin has7
assumed charge OF the American
embassy at Mexico City and is now1
in communication with President
Obregon on the question OF recogni- i
tion by the United States, it was an
nounced today at the State Depart
ment.
Whether Summerlin has actually
presented Obregon with the Ameri-
can note outlining the attitude OF
this government towards recognition
by the government of Mexico is not
yet known. Officials said. however,
that Summerlin would confer with
Obregon, present him with the Amer
ican communication and learn his
answer to II. The State Department,
1t was said authoritatively today, ex-
poets soon to receive advices from
Summerlin on which the next step
by this government would be made.
The recent statement that Secre-
tary of State Hughes communication
to Mexico insisted that Obregon
first sign a set Of written guaran-
ties before recognition is extended,
was denied on high authority at the
state Department as without the
slightest foundation"
1t was explained authoritatfvely
today that the reason for the State
Department still refraining from
making public the American com
munication is that this government
FIRST wants to hear from Summerlin
what the situation is in Mexico and
what obregon's reaction is to the
statement of the American attitude.
The intimation also was made
that care is being taken not 10
force Obregon into a dinicult position
which would give an opportunity 10
Bolshevist elements and disgruntled
chiefs of the late Carranza regime TO
start trouble and possibly a revolt.

was glad Colonel Miller had taken
so drastic, but so proper a course.
"If Bergdoll is TO remain in Ger
many, then let Germany support
him." said Congressman Kahn.
THE Delaware man did a patriotic
service when he seized the property
Of the Stacker. Whether the seizure
can be made good is a question for
the lawyers and the courts. Itl
seems. however. that the course oil
Colonel Miller is upheld by thel
President, the attorney general and
all members OF the cabinet. These
have the support Of the best legal
talent in the country"
Mr.. Kahn said Colonel Miller had
shown himself TO be resourceful and
vigilant. He said Bergdoil would
probably be greatly embarrassed for
money, but that needn't cause true
Americans to shed tears. He had
shown himself a Stacker and traitor
during the war and he would be just
as bad in peace, Mr., Kahn said.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. May Is
Dark and silent this morning. the
Bergdoll house was apparently unin-
habited and unmatched. Whether
or not there are officers Of the De-
partment of Justice or the Alien
Property Custodian on the job, they
were not in evidence. A ring at the
Bergdoll bel brought. after some
time. a stockily built man Of between
fifty and sixty, with gray hair and
eiasses-a man who appeared not
unlike former Magistrate Romig,
who has always rallied to the Berg
doll colors in time of trouble.
This man, who refused to reveal
his identity. said it would be i'm
possible TO see Mrs. BergdoIl, as she
was sick in bed.
Just now soon Grover may have 20
don overalls and tolls in his dear
Fatherland depends on how long the
$4,000 lasts which his mother, Mrs.
Emma c. Bergdoil cabled him three
weeks ago.
After an all-night examination
into Pergdoll papers, Colonel Thomas
w. Miller, alien property custodian.
declared today he was confident he
had sealed all sources from which
funds could be sent to the fugitive.
Colonel Miller also announced the
Fourth Street National Bank. this
city, Will be the depository for tht
Bergdoll funds.
l3ergdoll's estate. valued at $780,
1850, was seized yesterday by Coz
onei Miller by direction OF President
Harding.

Why is a hobo?
DR.. Charles b. Davenport, the not
ed American authority on heredity,
has examined a large number of the
family histories Of hoboes and other
nomads and concludes that wander
lust is the expression Of a primitive
instinct in persons who suffer from
periodical loss of self-control
If you do not believe nomadism
is an instinct, just leave the hall
door ajar and watch your year-old
infant nomad as fast as his four feet
will carry him to a bump at the bot
tom of the front porch steps.
The tendency 10 run away is very
marked in children and. IL anything,
increases up to the adolescent pc
riod, when the instincts are most
highly developed.
The wanderlust we all have, but
most of us are able to inhibit the
tendency in the interests of family
life, employment and other demands
of society.
Some persons, however. suffer
from a periodic paralysis Of the in
hibitions At such periods they may
show a repression TO primitive be-
havior and experience an irresistible
impulse to be the go.
