VALUATION PLAN .|S ACCEPTED BY HOUSE MEMBERS
IRepubIIcan A. p. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12-The American valuation plan of assessing duties on imported merchandise with notifications and limitations pro- posed by Republican members of the senate finance committee was accept Republican members of the house ways and means committee and the program will be recommended to the senate as a part of the permanent tariff bill.
 An attempt also was made at the conference to determine whether the next tariff law would contain a dye embargo. Although no formal action was taken, it was indicated that the Republican leaders would provide high protective rates for the dye in dustry but probably would not favor | the suggested three year embargo. A joint committee composed of Sem ators Smoot of Utah and Dillingham; | of Vermont and Representatives Longworth of Ohio and Frear of Wis consin was named to study the rate question.
 The house members also agreed to an amendment by the finance com mittee to the Longworth resolution extending the. life of the emergency | tariff law as well as the dye embargo to Jan. l, or unti, superseded by the | permanent law.
 1 Even with the changes, Chairman | Fordney of the ways and means com mittee declared that "a distinct vic tory" had been won for the American valuation plan
 Changes made by the finance com mittee Republicans, experts said. would make the valuation plan more workable and less likely to result in | Litigation. As worked out by the eX-

SANTA FE TRAIN IN DITCH NEAR PUEBLO;

 PUEBLO, Colo. Aug. 12.-Santa Fe passenger train No. H.. east bound. was wrecked at Devine, 10 miles east of Pueblo. at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. Twenty persons were more or less injured, two of them seriously enough to be taken to the hospital here. They are: Miss Alice Dunlxin, of Kerwin, Kansas, who suf- fered severe cuts about the head and arms, and George Williams. negro, address unobtained, who suffered in- juries to one of his knees.
 The cause of the accident was the breaking of the axle of one of the main drive wheels of the locomotive. This spread the rails and permitted the wheels on the coaches following 10 leave the track, and two baggage cars. the smoker. two chair cars and two Pullmans were off the rails and /the right of way. Three Puilmans stayed on the rails.
 .& The two baggage cars turned over on their sides. The smoker was bur jed up to the floor of the car in the mud. The engine and tender broke loose from the train and bumped along on the ties and tore up th' rails for distance equal to city block before coming to a stop.
 The fact that the rails were loos ened probably is the reason the car did not telescope and thereby caus several death and more seriously in itlred.

WOODS NOMINATION PHILIPPINES COMMISSION REPORT
rRepubIican A. P. Leased WIrel

tHeQu0fICan "A. Fs IcdSco W
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Nomina- ton of Major General Leonard Wood as governor general of the Philip pine Islands, awaited today action by the University of Pennsylvania to re- lease him from his promise to be- come. provost of the institution, but his service in the islands may not last more than a year. Secretary Weeks said today that General Wood had yielded reluctantly to urgings that he accept the governorship, preferring to follow his original purpose of seek ing private employment It might well be, MT. Weeks added, that should the university authorities con- sent to the change in plan, General Wood would remain only a year in the islands. then come home to take his deferred work at the university.
 Although General Woods designa- ton to head the island government is regarded among war department officials as virtually settled. it was emphasized in high administration circles today that no nomination would go to the senate until after receipt of the present special inves- tigating commission of which the general is chairman. This commis- sion was sent to the Philippines by President Harding to make thor ough survey of conditions and to recommend what form of government was best.
 The report is expected to reach the president within a few days, and although no official forecast of its tenor has been received. there have been many indications that it would suggest the continuation of the pres 1 ent governmental provisions so fan as they affect selection of a governor general

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Any ex- pectation that President Harding will himself act as delegate to the dis armament conference was overthrown by the White House. announcement that he had definitely designated Secretary Hughes of the state depart ment to head the American delega- tion.
 1t was said that other members were yet to be chosen, although the president is known to have narrowed considerably the list of those he con- siders available and may reach the point of other definite selections in the near future. He is understood to have decided that at least one of the places shall go to United States senator and the choice of a woman as a member of the delegation still is within the range of possibilities.
 The exact role to be played by the president never has been officially defined, but the general expectation is that, after delivering the opening address of aie conference Nov. II. he will remain in the background of the negotiations, leaving direct contact with the foreign commissioners to his accredited representatives, but at the same time keeping in close touch witf them and with all the proceedings oi the conference. By this course MT Harding will be in a position similar to that of President Poincare o France when he opened the Versatile: conference and then retired from ac- tual participation in the proceedings President Harding's close adviser are said to feel that by keeping ava. from details of the disarmament dis

[HepubIIcan A. P. Leased wIre1

PARIS, Aug. 12-The disposition of the rich regions of Upper Silesia. whic~ has disturbed the peace Of mine of Europe since the. signing of the treaty of Versailles is postponed " for several months by the action of the inter-allied supreme council to- day in requesting the council of the league of nations to study the subject and advise upon the fixing of a line sseparating Germany and Poland
 The text of the resolution asking the council of the league to aid in settling the question was drawn so as to avoid the appearance of arbitra- tion, which Is not provided for in the treaty of Versailles. The resolution follows.
 "The supreme council before rem dering it's decision upon the Upper Silesian frontier between Germany and Poland conformable with article S6 of the treatJ of Versailles, decides pursuant to article II, paragraph ?, of the covenant of the league of na- tions to submit to the council of the league of nations the difficulties at tending the fixing of the. frontier and to invite the recommendation of the council as to the line that the prin- -cipal allied and associated powers should lay down
 "The council of the league of na- tions is requested to regard the mat ter as one of great urgency in view oe the situation in Upper Silesia."
 The resolution was so drawn that the council of the league may not decide the question at issue but Da- vid Lloyd George and Aristide Briand respectively the British and French premiers, pledged themselves in thu supreme council meeting today to ac- cept the advice of the league of na- tions. It was remarked formally il the supreme council that the counci of the league could hardly make an, recommendation in less than thre, or four months.
 In another resolution Germany ant Poland were admonished by the su preme council to remain quiet pend ing settlement of the issue.
 Today's decision came as the con clusion of five days of earnest dis cussion. which began with an agree ment in principle between Mir. Lloy George and NJ.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12-Wil- liam Hightower. itinerant baker. stoutly resisted today all efforts of the police to connect him with the murder of Rev. Patrick Heslin, Colma priest, and after two days question ing still maintained he had no knowl- edge of the crime. He was taken into custody after he had led group of policemen and newspaper men to the priests grave on the sea shore Wednesday night.
 Captain of Detectives Duncan Mathews, Assistant District Attorney Isidor Golden of San Francisco, and District Attorney Franklin Swart. of San Mateo county said tonight that they were nearer a solution of the crime than ever before.
 Things are coming to a head, Swart said.
 Hightower was confronted by the police with information from widely different sources, tending. they said
 to show he had knowledge of the
 priests death, but he remained calm and undisturbed. He showed emo-

 was when handed a long delayed
 telegram which told of his wife's
 death in Saltwater, Okla. When ht read the. telegram, Hightower broke down and sobbed.
 The inquiry today developed con flict of Hightower's story of the ust he made of a small automobile rented from a local garage the night th' priest disappeared in company witf a stranger who said dying mar sought spiritual consolation.

Uncle Sam Would Like To Lose
 Booze Cellar Key

WASHINGTON Aug. F. = An overstocked national booze cellar that nobody knows how to empty is one of unusual heritage of Uncle Sam under the prohibition law. The anomolous story of how. in a land of drought, liquor obtained by confiscation has be- come a white elephant on the hands of the government was told to tie cabinet today by Attorney General Daugherty. arousing a discussion which led nowhere ex- cept to a decision to investigate further.
 The attorney general told his colleagues and the president that large sums of much needed gov ernment funds were being eaten up in storage house rentals and policing expenses to keep liquor that the government did not want. An even greater economic waste would result from pouring the seized spirits into the sewer. and it was suggested that a way might be found to extract the alcohol for commercial purposes or to turn the liquor itself to some legitimate use The law says it is to. be confiscated but does not say how to dispose of it.
