LONDON SURPRISED
 BY U. s. PROPOSALS
By Associated Press

London, November 12-The Amert- can suggestion at the Washington conference of a 10-year naval holi- day came as complete surprise to the people of this country. the Wash : ington correspondents of the British newspapers having led the readers to believe that no definite American plans were ready. and that the first days proceedings at the conference would be merely formal. Hence, the programme for the wholesale scrap ping of capital ships created an enor- nous sensation when it was an- nounced briefly by the London even ing papers.
 This being Saturday, most of the public offices were closed and the public men were out of town. More over. the Sunday papers go to press so early that the editorial writers. not being in possession of complete reports of Secretary Hughes report, were unable to appreciate the full weight of his proposals.

192O ACCIDENTS KILLED 2,973 AND
 INJURED 2O6,OOO
1,088,000 Employed In Mines, Quarries, Coke Ovens and MetallurgicaI
 Plants Last Year
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-Herald,
 hnn DnYidsnn RniIdl n

Washington, November 12.-(Spe- cia1.)-Accidents in the year 1920 at all mines, quarries, coke ovens and metallurgical plants, except iron blast furnaces, in the United States caused the death of 2.97s employees and the the United States bureau of mines. In these industrials 1.0SS,000 men employed last year, who worked a total of 279,4oo.o0O shifts, an aver age of 257 working days per man. Accident rates. based upon a stand ard of 300 working days to the year, show that for every 1000 men em- ployed 3.19 were killed and 221 25 injured. For 1919 the corre- spending rates were 3.63 killed and 219. injured These figures do not take into account the large number of slight injuries causing loss of time of less than one day.
 The coal mining industry employed 4000 more men in 1920 than in the preceding year. The copper mining industry suffered a loss of 1000 men the iron mining industry a loss of 1,700 In the gold and silver mines 2,200 less men were emplqeed. A loss of 1900 employees occurred in the lead, zinc and fluorspar mines in the Mississippi valley states. The quar- ries of the country gained 11,000 em- ployes. There was a loss of 4,200 employees at metallurgical plants and 600 at coke ovens
 In 1920 all employees averaged larger number of working days than in 1919 The gain among workers in metal mines averaged IS days per man. Quarrymen gained l4 days each. Workers at beehive coke ovens gained 32 days per man, while those at by-product ovens gained IS days each. Coal mine employees gained an average of S2 days for each Of the 7so. 900 men employed last year.
 To visualize the number of men in jured in the mining and metallurgical industries during the past year ir may be stated that 1t is roughly equal to half of all the men. women and children In the city of Washing ton, the nations capital.

son, E. c. Bassett, B. M. Owens, John { Gamble, Emory Folmar and ". H. Brantley J. W. Bowers, T. J. Wood, and E. M Shackelford are ex-officlo members of the convention, being on the orphanage commission.
 Some very interesting facts are brought out in the report of D. F. Green, secretary treasurer of the ex- eoutive board of the Alabama Bap- tist convention, which will be given at the convention here. He says that the Baptist forces have, in spite of all difficulties during the year, climbed steadily upward, and at the close of the year stand triumphant on the heights of victory" He adds that the chief victory Is not in the splendid collections made, but in the wonderful success of the great evan gelistic campaign, which has been in progress over the state.
 The auditors have Just completed an audit of the books and the results show that this has been the greatest year in the history of the church
 Excellent Collections
 The collections for the past year far exceed any previous year, The amount raised on the s75O00,000 cam paign is $417,116.11. In addition to this s2,657 was paid in on state evangelistic work and s31,1S0 on other matters not counted In the campaign. This makes grand total of s450.95311 collections in the past year. The collections for 1918. which was the last year before the s7o,- G0O,000 campaign, for all objects, amounted to $213,953,S6. Thus 1t Is seen that during the past year the Do of lo nafI In more than twice as much as was ever paid in one year before.
 Evangelistic Work
 The great evangelistic campaign that has been in progress for the past year has been of gratifying success. Reports sent in from 70 of the IT as- sociations show additions to the

 Now 1t happens that the treaty of Angora was negotiated in London last spring under the very eyes of the foreign office. There was no protest from the British at that time, the French say. Why, then. this sudden outburst, this effort to arouse the worlds opinion against the treaty just at the moment of its ratification? :? The first explanation is that Lloyd George was so confident last spring of Greek success against the Turks he did not think it worth while to waste time worrying about what the French were doing with Angora, and only now when the Greeks are rout- ed, does he see the importance to Britain of the French policy. But this explanation Is not satisfactory, be- cause Greek success always was doubtful, fact MT. Lloyd George must have known as well as the French.
 Adopt Second Explanation.
 So second explanation generally is adopted now. It is to the effect that Lloyd George is merely taking advantage of the well-known anti Turkish sentiment in America and England to put France in the wrong on the eve of the Washington con ference. For, undeniably. the French treaty puts an end of any thought of demoIishing the Turkish power. In- deed the French readily admit that the Angorans will sooner or later re- consolidate the empire with the cap ital at Constantinople
 The French have believed from the beginning that Lloyd Georges first purpose in accepting. or, as they say, instigating, the Washington confer ence, was to wriggle out of the Japa nese alliance. But the French now perceive that if transition from British to imperial control of the British empires foreign policy in- cludes getting rid of Japan, it must, for equally strong reasons, include getting rid of France. Neither na- val alliance with Japan nor a mili tary alliance with France Is popular with the British dominions, who are not pleased at the thought of possibly being required to re-send their sons to a European battlefield.
 It should not be surprising, then, to find France and Japan companions in misery at Washington, both fear ful that powerful Anglo-Saxon com bination is bent on imposing its con ception of world policy both in the east, where it conflicts with Japan, and in Germany and Russia, where it conflicts with France.
 In British eyes, the French policy toward Germany. and Russia is ster- slo ioto fad 1ar0aIW hV fha fact that France is self supporting na- tion and not dependent upon huge export trade. There is growing feeling in England that unemploy- ment cannot be cured so long as France continues to impose the stag nation of non-intercourse upon the great part of Europe's territory.

Troy, November 13.--(Special. J. The formal opening of the 1921 State Baptist convention will be held Tues day morning at the First Baptist church. Troy Is prepared to enter tain the convention in it's character isttc hospitable style and every dele gate will be made to feel at home and welcome. Plans are perfected to make this convention, the one hun dredth annual session, memorable.
 Seven hundred or more delegates are expected to attend the conven- tion. They will likely begin arrlv- ing Monday afternoon and special committees with automobiles will meet the trains to carry the visitors to the homes assigned for their res idence while here.
 Another attractive feature will be the presentation to the convention for acceptance of the three new cot tages and power house. the first unit of the State Baptist orphanage. which Is being removed from Ever green to Troy. These buildings are erected of brick and are fire-proof. They are of two-story design, with sleeping apartments for 25 children each on the second floor; living room, dining hall and offices on the first floor. They have all modern improvements. As there was objec tion to the removal of the orphanage from Evergreen, great interest will be attached to these new cottages and to their acceptance by the conven- tion.
 The State Baptist hospital, built at Selma during the past year, will also be rendered for acceptance by the convention.
 Troy Delegates

Concessions Noted In the Cotton Goods Market the Past Week
By Associated Press

New York, November 12.-A combi- nation of an unexpected large ginning report and two holidays in a week emphasized the softening tendency noted In cotton goods recently. Print ed cloths and sheetings are available at concessions and buying is light. Yarns are held quite steady by spin ners, while in central trading markets prices are softer. The naming of new prices on percales. on a basis of 13h cents for A, 64x6Os, has been fol- lowed by the placing of moderate or ders with printers. Jobbers are be ginning to take their final inventories for the year and are not inclined to increase their commitments.
 They report a very fair advance business in wash goods, and steady demand for comfortables, blankets and domestics. Bleached cottons are very quiet, and colored cottons rule steady and are well sold. Manufac- turers are comfortably supplied with business for this month, and many of them have orders that will keep them busy all winter.
 But within a week Or two they have begun to feel the effects of a slow demand for future delivery goods and they are not inclined to buy cotton in advance of actual busi- ness. Some hesitation results from apprehension as to how retailers will accept the higher prices on goods forced by theh igher cotton prices. Spring hosiery prices show advances varying from 10 to 20 per cent above the low points of the year. Under wear mills are going better. Prices current in primary markets are as follows: 2s-inch 64x64s. 6%c; 64xe0s, 6ssc; 3Sinch 64x64s, 91sc; brown sheetings. southern standards, 12c; tickings, S-ounce. 2Sc; denims, 2.20s. 1s1Ac; staple ginghams, 141sc; prints, lie; dress ginghams, 20 and 22c.

Paris, November 12.-French suspicious that the object of certain powers at Washington will be to isolate France and to wrench from her military domination of the European continent was immeasur- ably strengthened this week.

 Delegation Is Balanced
 There seems to be general agree ment that the American delegation, from whatever angle viewed, will be able to hold It's own with rival dele gations It is doubtful that even Lloyd George (and that he will come is regarded as probable) Is more willy in diplomacy than Elihu Root. The scintillating mind of Brland will meet it's equal. Following the de- parture of the Frenchman after the conference Is two weeks old (and In this connection 1t Is thought improb- able that Lloyd George will remain long, even should he come), no other delegation, 1t is estimated, will equal the American, especially in It's bal ance.
 It Is tho anticipated conclusion of Washington ovservers that In times of sharp disagreement, when every delegation Is in despair lest the en- tire undertaking be thrown off on a tangent, Underwood's ability to ad- just and conciliate will save the day.

 Baron Takahashi, who succeeds the slain Hara at the head Of the Jap anese government, is 67 years of age. He speaks English fluentiy, having studied the language in the United States In 1887 and 1868.
 While in America at that lime, Takahashi is said to have been held in state or near slavery for several months through the machinations of guardian. After his return to Ja- pan, Takahashi became successiv4ly a teacher of English in a clan school at Karatsu, principal of the Osaka English school and later an official of the department of agriculture and commerce
 Following this first step up the rungs of the political ladder, he was promoted to the presidency of the patent bureau, which he resigned In 1890 to engage in silver mine ex- ploit in Peru. The project failed and Takahashi again came back to his native land and took up finance in the Bank of Japan.
 His rise in the bushes world was rapid, and in 1906 he became vice president of the Bank of Japan and president of the Yokohama Specie bank. In 1904 and 1906 he acted as financial agent for the government in raising loans in the United States and in England. In 1911 he succeed cd to the presidency of the Bank of Japan, and in 1913 he resigned to take the portfolio of finance in Yama- moto cabinet

were frustrated in their efforts to
break out of their cells yesterday
morning when Turnkey John sGaff-

The discovery of the sawed off
bars was accidental on the part OF
the turnkey. He was engaged in
some work in the corridor and in
leaning against the cell in which
the two negroes were confined, two
of the bars fell out. The removal
of these two bars afforded an aper-
>ture amply large for the men to
get out of the cell into the cor

get into the corridor early this
morning and overpower the turn
key. 1t is believed that they used
a heavy cord obtained from a mat
tress, lubricating It with molasses
and soap, which "doctoriDg" would
give the cord cutting power suff1-

WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISION REVIEW

Chicago, Aug. 13-Active export
demand together with certain ex-
pectations that the government
crop report would prove bullish
have done a good deal this week to
life the value of wheat. Compared
with a week ago. wheat prices this
morning showed gains of 31ac to
SIC a pushed. corn was is 61& c
lower to 1s@Ac advance; oats of
sc to sc, and provisions down
SIC to 55c.
Export business in wheat appear
ed to have been helped by short
advance in sterling exchange and by
word that Germany had obtained
large credits in New York. Efforts
for worldwide relief of Russian
famine were also regarded as a
stimulus to foreign buying. On the
other hand heavy profitaking sales
after the United States government
crop report was out, gave evidence
that speculation had fully discount
ed beforehand the big reduction in
estimates of yield as compared with
the month previous. Renewal de-
mand from exporters ard from do
nestle millers rallied the market
again, but confidence on the part
of bulls was afterwards somewhat
disturbed by announcement that
wheat production in France this sea-
son was much greater than the
trade here had been led to believe.
Corn and oats were weakened by
the big prospective crop OF corn and
by the huge visible supply OF oats.
Severe setbacks in the hog mar
ket pulled down provisions.
