FRANKLIN K. LANE DEAD
Wilson Cabinet Member Stricken
by Heart Disease.
Former Secretary of Interior Was III
Many Months Before Under
going Operation.

Rochester, Minn.-Franklin K. Lane,
former secretary of interior, died at a
local hospital here at 6:1O a. m. Wed.
nesday.
Death was due to an attack of an
gina pectoris.
Mr.. Lane was operated on May 6 for
gall stones and appendicitis and was
said to be recovering when heart dis
ease, from which he had suffered from
time to time for the past eight months,
developed. Hospital physicians ex-
pressed the belief that the operation
would remove the heart affection, but
another attack developed fatally.
Immediately after he had recovered
from the influences of the anesthetic
Mr.. Lane said:
Il am surprised to be alive. I hope
to be able to live a long life doing good
things for others without thought of
money"
Following his resignation from the
Wilson cabinet, Mr.. Lane sought to re-
" his health and came here in Jan
uary of this year. He was advised to
SpeHu the winter Ill d warmer Climate
and went to California, his home state.
He came back to Rochester this month.
His condition was favorable for an
operation and continued improvement
was noted until the heart attack which
developed this morning.
Mrs. Lane and George w. Lane, a
brother, were called to the former Sec
rotary of the interiors bedside shortly
before he died.

NO U. S. TROOPS FOR MINES
Kentucky and West Virginia Must
Exhaust Own Resources First,


Washington-Federal troops will not
be used in the territory along the West
Virginia-Kentucky border where dis
%turbances in the coal mining sections
have occurred until the states con-
cerned have exhausted their w re-
sources in coping with the situation.
Decision to this effect was reached
after Secretary Weeks had held sew.
eral conferences and the subject had
been discussed at the regular cabinet
meeting. 1t was communicated by
President Harding in a telegram dis.
patched by Secretary Christian to Gov.
ernor Morgan of West Virginia, who
with Governor Morrow of Kentucky
had requested Federal troops.
Secretary Weeks reiterated that the
Federal government was not disposed
to declare martial law in the disturbed
territory or to employ regulars there
except as a last resort. Kentucky has
state troops, he said, and although
West Virginia had none she has with
Kentucky a number of special officers
on the scene Moreover, he added, re.
ports to the department indicated that
the situation was much quieter.

RAIL WAGES TO Be CUT
Labor Boards Decision Says Re.
duCtion Is Justified.
Revision Downward of UnskiIIed Work
ers' Pay is Decided on-MiIlion
Men Affected.

Chicago-The United States Rail
road Labor board announced it's inten-
ton of revising downward the wages
of more than 1,000,O 900 unskilled. rail
workers by next July l. The amount
OF the decrease was not announced,
but will be made public on June 1.
At the same time the board an
nounced that it would hold hearings
on June 6, regarding proposals by the
roads to decrease the wages of other
classes of employees and also would
make it's decisions in these cases ef-
fective on the same date. A similar
decision in the case of skilled work
ers would lei a cut in the pay of
practically every railway worker in
the country On July 1 and would af-
feet approximately 100000 men.
Decision Entirely Unexpected.
The announcement, which said that
prevailing conditions justify to some
extent, yet to be determined, a read
justment downward of wages" was en-
tirely unexpected and came only a few
hours after the close of the hearings
which have been in progress since
early in April. Neither the roads nor
the representatives of the unions had
expected any announcement for sew
eral weeks.
On July 20, 1920, the board gave a
decision increasing the pay of all
classes of railway employees approx
mately Fl per cent or about $500, 000,-
600 a year. Several months ago sew
eral roads announced that they could
no longer operate under this wage
award and announced reductions aver
aging about 20 per cent in the pay Of
unskilled employees. The workers ap-
pealed to the board which decided that
the roads could not make summary re-
auctions but must first hold confer
ences with their men and then, if no
agreement could be reached, submit the
case to the board for decision.
Ninety-eight Cases Appealed.
Practically every large road in the
country then held conferences with
its unskilled employees regarding re-
auctions and, when the employees re-
fused to accept cuts, carried the case
to the board. ~Ninety-eight cases in
all were thus appealed and the board
finally decided to hear them as a unit
instead of separately.
The announcement that the board felt
that prevailing conditions" justified a
revision downward in wages, was the
first indication of its attitude on the
wage question.

QUESTION FOUR MORE
In MONROE MURDER
officials Discredit Confession of Es-
capped Lunatic Who Admitted
Triple Staying.

Dowagiac, Mich.-Cass county au-
thorities today were questioning four
men in an effort to clear up the mys-
terry surrounding the murder in the
home of William Monroe, his wife, and
their 17-year-old daughter Neva. AL
though the alleged confession to the
crime made by Gus Cogan, an escaped
inmate of the Illinois Hospital for the
Insane at Jacksonville, is discredited,
Cogan is held pending further investi-
cation. According to the authorities,
Cogan described infinitely the interior
of the Monroe home, declaring he en-
tered the place, killed the three VIC
tins and then. beat Ardith, ten-year-old
daughter of Monroe, on the head as
the four lay asleep. The reputed con-
fession, however, gave no motive. Co.
gan's alleged confession is discredited
because he admits, it is said, partici-
patton in every murder mentioned to
him. At one time yesterday he admit
ted the murder" of one of his ques-
TONERS. The authorities have resumed
investigation of holdup and shooting
near here Sunday in an effort to learn
if that crime and the Monroe murders
were connected. Three youths are un-
der arerst on suspicion of being the
bandits.

Cancer Cure is
Being Formulated
by Associated Press)

I
New York-Stimulated by the recent
visit to the United States of Nine.
Curie, it's discoverer, scientists in this
country are making new progress in
treating cancer with radium, according
to R. B. Moore, chief chemist of the
U. S. Bureau of Mines.
The highly scientific treatment of
disease by the use of radium, however,
Mr.. Moore says, is successful only
when applied with the greatest skill.
"All cancer cannot be so cured, and
it requires skilled surgeon who thor
oughly understands the proper usage in
order to get favorable results" Mr..
Moore states.
cat the present time the United
States produces more radium, than all
the rest of the world together.
From the beginning of the industry
in 1913 to January, 1921, approximately
115 grams of radium element have been
produced in this country. Probably not
more than 40 grams have been recover
ed from foreign ores since the discov-
cry of radium by Nine. Curie."
Mr.. Moore said that most of the do
nestle production of radium is from
mines in Colorado.

University Studies
Traits of Eskimo
fRY Associated Pressi

Halifax, N. S.-Problems of dietetics,
nutrition and sex among the Eskim os
will be studied by an expedition to be
sent out next May by the School Of
Hygiene of Johns Hopkins University.
The plans were outlined here by DR..
Victor e. Levine, professor of biochem-
istry and nutrition at the Creighton
School of Medicine, Omaha, who visited
Halifax early this month on his way to
Battle Harbor, Labrador.
DR.. Levine said that he had been sent
as an advance guard to go with party
from Battle Harbor into the Eskimo
country for a preliminary survey, par
ticularly with regard to climatic condi-
lions. He said that the main expedi-
tion next year would be solely one of
scientific research and that it was plan
ned to penetrate parts of the Eskimo
region hitherto unvisited by white peo-
pie.
The Eskimos, he said, are the heal
thiest people in the world when not
contaminated by white people. Because
of this fact the members of the expedi-
tion hope that they may discover some
new theory Of health as put into prac-
tice by the jewellers in the northland.
DR.. Levine and his party will return
in November, 1922. The main expedi-
ton will spend next summer and part
of the winter of 1923 among the Eski-
mos.

ENGLAND REACHES
END OF TETHER
Minister of the Colonies Declares that
England viii Offer Nothing
More to Ireland.
(By Associated Press Leased wire.)

Dundee, Scotland Winston Spen-
Ger Churchill, minister for the colon
les, speaking here today, said that the
British government had gone to the
utmost limit possible in it's offer to
the Sinn-Fein and that in its offer to
jected the government had not anything
else to give. "We have reached the
end of our tether"he declared.
Mr.. Churchill said the government
was profoundly disappointed by de
Valera's rejection of the offer of do
minion home rule"
Although Great Britain could 4un-
questionably enforce the existing law
upon Ireland" Mr.. Churchill continu-
ed, "she none the less is called upon
to clear away all possible misunder-
standing. If our offer is rejected we
have the conviction that our country
men will support the empire as will
the opinion of the civilized world"
Holds Allegiance to King Paramount.
The colonial secretary said the Brit
ish governments offer was generous,
sincere and unanimous and could be
carried into effect Immediately. Al
legiance to the king, whether as king
Of Great Britain or of Ireland must,
however be insisted upon he declared.
Glow could we agree to- the setting
up of a separate foreign republic in
Ireland" Mr.. Churchill asked. "'Not
peace, but real war = not mere bush
ranging = would follow such course.
We want conference, but a successful
one"
Ulster, Mr.. Churchill said, had made
real sacrifice and no longer was a
stumbling block to the rest of Ireland.
He could not see much real foundation
for the optimism which prevailed, he
asserted and he still was uncertain
where the Irish leaders stood. The
proposed conference, he declared, was
the only thing which stood between
the government and failure.
