q men ARE ARRESTED
IN CONNECTION WITH
MICHIGAN RAIL CRASH

LaPEER, Mich, Oct 29-Both city
authorities and railroad detectives are
searching for three men believed to
have deliberately derailed west
bound grand trunk passenger train
here last night, took four men into
custody this morning for questioning.
The arrests, they said, were a part
of a general roundup being made in
four counties, of trampS and others
unable to satisfactorily explain their
presence in the vicinity of the wreck
that resulted in injuries to three per-
sons.
A flagman saw the men running in
to the woods from the scene of the
wreck as he went to the rear to place
warning signals. One of the men he
reported was well past middle age,
while his companions were much
younger This directed suspicion to-
wards a man about Sc years old who
had been in Elba three days and who
was seen last night in company with
two young men.
Deliberately Wrecked.
That the train had been deliberately
wrecked was established officials said
by the finding of track workers tools
at the point of the derailment. Rail.
road men Identified the tools as hav-
ing been stolen from the Elba section
house two days ago.
The engineer observed from a dis
tance that a rail had been removed
and was able to slacken the speed OF
the train before it reached the spot
The engine turned over three times as
it went into the ditch and this so di
minished the speed of the coaches
that they merely left the rails and
toppled over. The track was torn uI
for a distance of more than 100 yards
The injured, two passengers anG
the fireman were brought here fol
treatment The fireman severely
scalded probably will not recover

Foch Proves He Loues
Pipe by Use of Briar
at Every Opportunity
(Ry Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Marshal
Foch, who is known as an inveterate
pipe smoker, before boarding his
steamship Paris for his trip to Amer
lea, made sure that sufficient
amount of his favorite French tobacco
was on board. One of his military
aides has it in charge-25 pounds of
it.
Soon after he was taken off the
Paris at New York and had exchanged
official courtesies with the members
of the reception committee on the tug
Vigilant, he went inside the pilot
house, lighted his small briar pipe and
seemed perfectly at home. He emp
tied it as he approached Battery park
and put it back into his pocket.
Two hours later when comfortably
established in his special train for the
run to Washington the pipe was out
again. After dinner he followed the
example and smoked a cigar, but, this
finished, the pipe again came into
view, only to disappear when the
train pulled into the union station
Again at his hotel the last thing he
did before going to bed was to take a
few more puffs.
DR.. Paul Andre, his personal physi
clan, was right when he said:
"The marshal loves his pipe.''

TO ARRANGE WELCOME
FOR PEELLE COMPANY
AT MEETING MONDAY

Arrangements for reception to the
officials of the Peelle company, owners
of Richmond's newest factory plant,
will be discussed Monday noon at
the Arlington hotel by committee
composed of William Bailey, William
Kinker, Demas Coe. John w. Mueller,
Z. H. Harris, l.. A. Handley, B. A.
Bescher, F. S. Dodd, H. R Robinson,
representative of the Rotary club. Ray
Weisbrod, representative of the XII

manager of the Chamber of Comerce.
1t is expected that the reception will
be held about Nov. 10.
The Peelle company has erected the
new structure at cost of S65, 900.
T. W. HeinZman of Marion was the
contractor. The plant, which will be
occupied by the Richmond Safety
Gate company, will be in operation
within 10 days.
The Peelle company acquired its
interest in the safety gate company
last spring.
The volume of business has in.
creased rapidly during the past few
months, the local safety gate com
pany operating full time in the old
plant. The increase is thought to be
due to the efforts of the wide sales
organization of the parent company
and to the campign being conducted
by insurance companies for the in
stallation of safety appliances. Or
ders have been coming in faster thar
the co,nDany can fill them
Approximately 120 persons will be
employed by the safety appliance
company in the new plant.

under the laws of New York, and il
registered in Indiana. The capital in

C0NCEDE TAX BILL
WILL NOT BE PASSED
' IN SENATE This WEEK
fRy Associated PTess)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Republi
can senate leaders conceded today
that there was no possibility of pass
ing the tax revision bill this week.
They also indicated that there was
little prospect of maintaining a quorum
night.
The capital stock tax section was
on the calendar today with a long
fight promised. Senator Lodge, of
Massachusetts, the Republican leader,
had before the senate an amendment
to exempt holding companies from
this tax where it had been paid by a
subsidiary company and Senator Reed,
Democrat, Missouri, had given notice
that he would offer what he termed
very important amendment.
After the bill has been perfected in
the committee of the wholeg it will be
taken up in the senate for amend
ment Then will come the renewal
of a number of fights already waged
with the launching of some new ones.
To Seek Amendments.
Senators Walsh, Democrat Massa-
chussetts, Reed and Edge, Republican,
I
they will seek to amend the corpor-
alton normal income tax section, which
was tentatively approved yesterday
with the rate at a fiat Is per cent,
after two amendments by Senator
Walsh had ben rejected by the same
vote, 33 to 50.
Senator Edge plans to make fight
for retention of the present 10 per cent
rate, while the Democrats will center
their fight on the proposition to pre-
vent the threatened increase in the
taxes paid by corporations have re-
turns of per cent or less on their
invested capital.
The soldier-bonus question has been
| injected into the tax fight, Senator
Reed having proposed an amendment
to continue the present excess profits
tax and use the proceedings in carry
| ing out the five-day soldier relief plan
recommended by a senate committee
but recommitted at the request of
! President Harding.

RAIL BOARD DECISION
CLASSES V|0LAT0RS
OF ORDER OUTLAWS

CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-The United
States Railroad Labor board to-
day in effect forbade railroad union
labor from striking without the
boards permission, and declared that
all strikers who violated the order
would be classed as outlaws who had
voluntarily removed themselves from
the protection of transportation acts
The decision on the hearing to de-
termine responsibility for the threat
ened general strike made three find
ings, the third of which held that ''any
union going out on strike will forfeit
it's right and the rights of its menl-
bers in all existing contracts, and
lose all benefits accorded by the
transportation act.
The other findings were "that all
such disputes must be referred to the
board before any action is taken.
THAT any interruption of traffic
would be a blow at the peace, pros.
perity and safety of the entire nation.
CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 90. = The
big Five" railroad brotherhood chiefs
returned from Chicago this morning
and held a conference at which they
agreed upon joint letter to be mail
ed to their entire membership setting

ing off the proposed railroad strike.

together with the resolution adopted
by the final conference of the labor
leaders in Chicago Thursday night

Der of constitutional matters and ques-

Anxiety over Mondays debate in
commons, especially it's relation to the
Irish negotiations was reflected by

the fact that an overwhelming vote
of confidence which it was assumed
the government would receive. would
strengthen the hands of the Ministry

the Irish delegates. 1t was generelly

portance and would show whether
