Pittsburg, Kan. Oct. 3.-Coal mines
of the Kansas field remained idle to-
day, miners refraining from work in
protest against the imprisonment of
Alex Howat and August Dorchy.
president and vice president of the
district, who are in the Cherokee
county Jail at Columbus. AS far as
was ascertained here at the headquar-
ters of the operators association, no
miners were at work.
Solid To Support Howat.
Today was the real test of Howat's
strength and the great strike proved
the solidarity of the fire eating
Scotchman's" support. Sunday at
Franklin, in the heart of the coal
fields, 400 miners at a mass meeting
unanimously voted to declare a strike.
The resolution was to the effect that
no coal was to be dug until the Kan
sas Industrial court law is taken off
the books"
The resolution called for peaceful
efforts to prevent any coal being dug
butt provided in case peaceful
methods" fail that other methods
Ehal be employed.
Be Fight To Finish.
Mine union leaders declared today
that the strike will be a fight to a
finish" by the Kansas miners against
the state Industrial court law and
against JOQn l.. Lewis mead OF lue

summer. If GoInpers sides with the

Senator New Hands Tax Bill
Supporters Big Jolt.
Declares in With SmOOt on
Manufacturers Sales Tax.
DEMOS HOLD ACE IN HOLE
Now in Position to Dictate
Terms of Revenue Act.
Republicans Badly Split on the
SmOOt Plan.

Washington, Oct. s.-The senate
entered today upon the second week
of consideration of the tax revision
bill with indications that a final vote
would be delayed until late in the
month.
More than fifty amendments affect
ing every tax provision in this meas
ure remained to be acted upon. Work
on the bill was to be interrupted by
debate on the peace treaties and votes
on those pacts and on the Panama
canal tolls repeal bill.
Penrose Not Adanant.
Chairman Penrose of the finance
committee expected TO reach soon q
unanimous consent agreement for a
time to vote on the high spots" of tho
measure. Penrose said he was keep
ing his mind open on all the major
amendments offered. adding there
was a whole lot to be said for the
Smoot plan for a manufacturers sales
tax or a similar idea"
Support of the pending tax revision
bill received a jolt today when Sena-
tor New, of Indiana. one of the Re-
publican leaders of the senate closely
associated with the Harding admin
istration, declared himself unquai-
fiedly in favor of the adoption of
Senator Smoots sales tax plan.
SmOOt Claims Strength.
Senator Smoot has received assur-
ances from more than fifty-nine Re-
publican, senators that they are
strongly inclined to vote for his pro-
poSal of a manufacturers sale tax oil
3 per cent. He is confident even
more of them will support it before
the pending revenue revision bill is
disposed of. 1t is acknowledged that
the Democrat side now holds the ace
in the hole" in the taxation ganla be-
| ing played in the senate.
With the Republican side, the
thirty-six Democrats are in a position
| to dictate a course OF taxation and IL
they were to swing behind the sales
| tax, in a combination with more than
half of the Republican side. even Re-
publican leaders do not question but
that 1t would be adopted.
Bank on Disagreement
| In their prediction that the pend
| ing measures they are supporting
would be passed eventually. with
/ some notifications" Senator Penrose,
Republican, of Pennsylvania, and his
Republican associates admit they are
/ banking upon their opponents, Repub-
| licans and Democrats, failing to agree
on a substitute that would command
a majority vote.
/ But Senator Smoot and his adher-
ents are driving hard to force the
adoption of his sales tax plan as an
amendment to the pending bill. even
tho the other provisions of his substi-
tute bill which he has also offered as
amendments are not accepted by a
majority of the senate.

SANTA FE VETERAN DIES


A. S. Loux. SO years old, a veteran
of the Civil war and for many years
in the employ of the Santa Fe, was
found dead in bed about o'clock
this morning at his home, 604 West
Sixth avenue. DR.. H. L. Clark, who
was called, says death was due to
heart failure.
Since the death of his wife a few
years ago, Loux had lived alone in the
upper apartment at 6O4 West Sixth
avenue, which he rented of Mrs. Mary
Foltz, who occupied the first floor.
Sunday he complained of not feeling
well and gave Mrs. Foltz the key to
his rooms saying that if anything
happened to him she could get in.
When he failed to get up at the usual
hour this morning Mrs. Foltz un-
locked the door to his apartment and
found him dead in bed.
According to the records at the
Santa Fe shops, Loux began working
for that company as a wood mechanic
February 5, 1885, and retired on the
pension list November Is. 1915.
Surviving him is one son, G. e. Loux
of Phoenix. Ariz., and two daughters,
Miss Mary Loux of Chicago. and Mrs
William White of Galesburg. Ill.

BIC COURT DOCKET
Supreme Court Judges Return
From Summer Vacations.
Telephone Rates and Wichita
Jitney Cases Are Up.

Supreme court judges returned to
the bench today after their summer
vacations, which were occasionally
broken by demands for speed in the
justice mill. The October term of
court opened today with a big docket
for the week and Indications that
many prominent Kansas lawyers will
be in Topeka in the next few days to
present their cases.
Two important cases were on the
docket for argument today. In each
case a decision of statewide impor-
tance will be rendered.
Phone Rate Case Up.
The first case concerns the injunc-
ton or7Nr issued by Judge o. P. Fuller
Of CO county enjoining collection
of t, rate increase proposed by the
SouthW c5,ern Bell Telephone com
pany. The wire company seeks a writ
Of manda- to compel Judge Fuller
to permit operation of the rate ad-
vance. When the public utilities COM
mission denied rate hikes for Win
field, Arkansas City and other towns
the Shawnee county district court en-
joined interference with a rate ad-
vance by the commission pending
court hearing Of the case on its mer-
its. The state commission then made
supplemental order and enjoined ac-
ton by the Bell company. It is de-
sion of the writ by the Shawnee
county court. The case will settle a
pretty issue as to the Kansas statutes
and may have wide effect in disposi-
ton of rate cases by public service
corporations in this state.
To Argue Wichita Jftney Case.
OF almost equal importance is the
Wichita jitney case for argument late
this afternoon. The case is appealed
from the Sedgwick county district
court and will determine the rights of
a city to restrict traffic on certain
streets and to assign to certain classes
of carriers designated districts.
Under the Wichita ordinance jitney
cars were denied the right to operate
on certain streets in competition with
the street railway company Suit was
brought to declare the ordinance in
valid and the case is now before the
supreme court. Both the Cowley coun-
, ty and Sedgwick county cases will
probably be decided in November.
Decisions in a number of cases sub
mitted in June and July will be handed
down by the supreme court Saturday

COTTON IN BREAK BRING LEAGUE I'M
Nations Pact to Influence Con-
ference at Washington.
British Delegates To Be Strong
League Men.

London, Oct. s.-That the League
of Nations will be brought into close
contact with the Washington confer
ence on limitation of armaments and
Far East problems, was foreshadowed
here today.
The probability that Lord Robert
Cecil and A. j. Balfour. two of Great
Britain's strongest exponents of the
League of Nations principles. includ-
ing the leagues disarmament aims,
will be included in the British deIega-
ton to Washington, was the interpre-
tation placed upon Geneva dispatch
to the Daily News from Wilson Har-
ris, the diplomatic correspondent.
Mr.. Balfour's strength has been
taxed by his labors at the league
meeting. but he will consent to go to
Washington, if urged, said the Geneva
telegram.
According to Mr.. Harris, the Brit
ish delegation will contain an "unex-
pected but very interesting name"
This is believed to be Lord Robert
Cecil, who. having represented South
Africa at the league meeting. is be-
lieved to be ably fitted to reflect the
views Of the British overseas do
minions at Washington.

Lower Costs for Armament
Shove Nippon to the Fore.
Are Making War Preparations
at Furious Rate.
NEARS UNITED STATES FOOTING
Spending Third Less
for Ships and Guns.
But Figures and Estimates
Kept Under Cover.

Washington, Oct. 3.-FIgures being
prepared today by government experts
for use during the forthcoming ar
mament Limitation conference show
that Japan is arming at a furious
pace. a rate many times faster than
any other world power.
The figures are authentic so far as
is possible to make them. They rep
resent the work of American observ-
ers abroad, the combing of statistics
and are supplemented by such special
information as has been obtained thru
special channels.
Japan Crceps Up.
From a fourth rate naval power be-
fore the world war. Japan has crept
up until she soon will be on even foot
ing with the United States and snap
ping at Great Britain's heels for naval
leadership unless checked.
The figures being prepared here for
use of the American delegation at the
armament conference show that the
Japanese people now are staggering
under a burden Of naval armament
nearly three times greater in proper
ton than that OF any other peoples.
Thirty-two cents out of every dollar
of Japanese taxes go for the upkeep of
the present navy and the tremendous
new fighting machines now under
construction.
Actually Spending Less.
A table of national budgets and ma
val expenditures being prepared fo4
the use of American delegates shows:

Altho these figures show that Japan
| is spending less actually than the
| United States and Great Britain, tho
more in proportion to her national in
come, American experts said today
they were wholly misleading.
| If Japan's expenditures were nul-
/ tiplied by three, the experts say, they
would more nearly reflect the actua

her navy and build new battleship,
at about one-third what it costs ths

American experts, in that it does no
contain the cost of military and civi

The diphtheria epidemic which has
been gaining ground among Topekans.
despite the consistent efforts of To-
peka doctors and health authorities,
is gradually being conquered.

A total OF 1872 cases of diphtheria
were entered on the books at the city
health office for the month of Sep
tember and twenty-seven cases of scar

get careless. The thing is not over.
