British Mine
Situation Is
AT StandstiII

London, April 1S-Goyernment-
al authorities were anxious today
to reopen negotiations between the
striking miners and the owners of
colleries throughout the United
Kingdom. There seemed little
probability, however, of any new
moves before Friday, when repre-
sentatives of British miners will
confer on the situation in this
city.
In the meantime Great Britain
is facing a serious coal shortage,
A mass meeting of members of
the coal Porters union was held
yesterday and resolutions were
adopted, stating that, in view of
the importation of American and
German coal, the union would re-
fuse from tomorrow to bunker any
tuIl loads and also would decline
to trans-ship imported coal.

Police Search Nation For
Woman Prominent In
DiUOrCe Ne7US Since 1901

New York, April 1S.--The dis
appearance of Mrs. Florence e
Wheeler Whitney Fisher, whose
marital trouble have been through
eighteen years Of court actions
has been reported to tho bureau OF
missing persons at police head
quarters by her mother, Mrs. Mary
Hurd of 513 West 135th street
Mrs. Fisher-or Mrs. Wheeler, as
she has been known since the Rene
courts granted a diyorce--left heI
mothers home Thursday afternoon
and has not been seen since.
A general alarm has been issued
by the police, aud a search is be-
ing conducted by Detective Ed
ward j, Donohue Of the bureau OF
missing persons. II was said at
police headquarters last night that
no information as to her where
abouts had been received.
In company with a man who is
an old friend of the family, accord
ing to her mother, Mrs. Fisher left
the apartment Thursday afternoon
at o'clock to go to Fifth ave
nue. department store, where she
took a fur cape from storage.
Shortly after 5 o'clock the man
telephoned to the apartment say
ing that he had left Mrs. Fisher at
the store, intending to meet her
at the Waldorf later. She
had not kept the appointment and
he asked If she had returned home.
When no word had been received
from her by o sIocK it was de
cided to notify the police.
Il am afraid she is kidnapped,
said Mrs. Hurd yesterday. IF l
don't hear from her by tomorrow
morning I'll be sure of it,"
Mrs. Hurd is positive that her
disappearance is the outcome of
the divorce Triangle in which her
daughter found herself after her
marriage to Robert Lee Fisher, a
wealthy broker she had previous
ly been the wife of Walter Payne
Whitney. to whom she was mar
ried in 1900 and divorced In 1901.
Six years after her marriage to
Fisher she was sued for divorce,
and answered with an accusation
of conspiracy, There followed
eight years Of new trials, suits and
counter suits, which finally ended
in Reno, where a divorce was
granted in September, 1918,
The legality of this divorce, ac-
cording to Mrs. Hurd, hinges up
on the action taken in Nevada
upon the Mary Pickford divorce
She further says that the attorney
general of Nevada advised her
daughter by letter three weeks ago
that the divorce was illegal Fish
er is said to have been married
Immediately after the divorce was
granted,
When last seen Mrs. Fisher was
blue tricot'ne dress
trimmed with black brain, a brown
silk toque with brown feathers on
the left side, a short sealskin coat
with a beaver collar. and tan
shoes, spats and stockings. She
had three bracelets on her left
wrist--a plain gold band about
one-half an inch broad with
chain guard and two narrow gold
She wore a large agate
ring, small garnet ring and a
guard ring.

Dry Nation Marked
by Decreased Mum
Der of Prisoners In
Confinement
By David M. Church.

Washington, April IS. - The
wave of depression has hit the jail
business.
Deets Pickett, research secre-
tary of the board of temperance,
prohibition and public morals Of
the Methodist Episcopal church,
who makes it his business to keep
a finger on the pulse of "Old Man
Beelzebub," declares that prohibit
tion has hit the jail business a
smashing blow.
Pickett bases his claim upon a
study of jail statistics in 200 coun-
ty jails In fourteen states. He adj
mits that the study does not take
into consideration crime eoDdi-
tions in the larger cities, but is
merely a study of rural and small
town crime.
For the purposes OF his study
Pickett has taken census of 200
0fnnty jails which, he says, were
selected at random, and the re-
ports are intended to give indica-
tion as to the effect Of prohibition
upon rural and small town crime
statistics"
'.The totals show a decided de-
crease in jail poplation under pro-
hibition," says Pickett, except
for the state of Maryland, where
there is an apparent increase due
to the fact that reports for the
years preceding prohibition are not
complete.
ut is interesting to note that
even New Jersey, where the pro-
hibitlon law has been poorly en-
forced and where the governor did
everything possible to break down
respect for the laws, shows a de-
cided improvement under prohibi-
tion."
The states in which Pickett
made his jail census were Califor-
mia, Connecticut, Delaware, Hi
nois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New
York, Pennsylvania, Vermont and
Wisconsin.
Picketts census shows that in
these states 200 county jails in
1918 had a net population of 1851
while in 1920, after the demise of
the late lamtented J, Barleycorn,
the population Of these same jails
had withered to 5357.
Giving further evidence of the
depression in the jail business,
Pickett's report shows that some
wardens must be hard pressed for
enough work to keep them out Of
mischief Twenty-seven jails inI
California had but 333 prisoners
between them In 1920 when Pick
ett's census was taken, five iails
In Connecticut had 2S7, two jails
In Delaware 31S, twenty in Hli-
nois, 1853; seven in Louisiana, AZ;
two in Maryland, 62; nine in Mas
sachusetts, 1872; thirty-four In
Minnesota, 237; eighteen in Mis-
souri,, Sc; eight in New Jersey,
1911; twenty-three in New York,
262; thirty in Pennsylvania,
1902; two in Vermont, 0, and
eleven in Wisconsin, As.
Pickett reports that the Middle
sex county Jail of Massachusetts,
went out of business completely in
1920 and consolidated with an
other county institution.

Gary Says
Regulation
Necessary
The Steel Corporation
Head Favors Limited
Public Control of
Business

New York, April 18.-Elbert H.
Gary, chairman of the United
States Steel corporation, told the
stockholders at their annual meet
ing today he was in favor of pub
lie regulation and reasonable con-
troll of business through govern
ment agencies, as a possible "solu-
tion of or antidote to the labor
union problem"
Declaring he did not believe in
socialism nor in governmental
management or operation, he suG-
gested that bipartisan, non-sec-
tarisn commissions or departments
render decisions, subject to review
by the highest courts.
Continuing his suggestion, he
said:
Clearer Laws Need.
Laws-clear, well defined.

notwithstanding these matters,
might be passed, and if so they
should apply to all economic or
ganizations, groups or bodies ex-
ceding certain specified numbers
or amounts. Both organized cap
ital and organized labor should be
placed under these laws. Each
should be entitled to the same pro-
lection and be subject to the same
restrictions and provisions.
will labor unions consent to
this? They have heretofore OBJ
jected. Here would be a test. La
Dor union leaders have before now
ansked and received discrimina-
tory exemptions. This is wrong
and ii would be just as bad if the
situation were reversed. Employ
ers generally desire only the same
treatment that is accorded to labor
unions. The large majority uf
workmen also would be satisfied
with this standard"
