tRepubIlcan A. p. Leased wIreJ

CHARLESTON. w. Va, Sept D. Federal troops are in West Virginia. ready to put down the disorder that has been disturbing the peace of the state since last week. The first troop train arrived at St. Albans early to- night from Ohio and was followed by other trains bringing infantryrien and equipment from the Fifth corps area of the middle west. Troops from Camp Dix. who left New Jersey early today. are not due until to- morrow.
 The first contingent of the soldiers were met at St. Albans by Colonel Stanley H. Ford, war department general staff, who conveyed orders to the commander of the troops where to place hls men. St Albans is about 25 miles from the affected area in Boone and Logan counties.
 Brigadier General H. H. Band holtz, in command of all the troops ordered here, worked out the details for placing the commands today He would not divulge the exact spots where men are to be stationed.
 The infantrymen will be stationed at about half dozen central points wroIn -which they will operate in smaller detachments to all surround ing places where they may be need tu IS~1AAaAlOAAL AaA i4O fNAN disturbing reports today from the boundary line of Boone and Logan counties where armed miners and others are facing county and state peace officers and men. The armed bands are on the Boone county side of the line and in a strip of Logan county east of Spruce Fork ridge, while the opposing state and county forces are on the Logan side
 General Bandholtz gave out no statement on the situation but said that he expected when the military arrived on the scene, the invaders will quickly disperse and return to their homes. This is also the opinion of state authorities and responsible members of the United Mine Workers. With federal troops in the state and every prospect of order being rapidly restored it was generally be- ] lieved that if the government de- clared martial law it will be of a modified but effective form that will
 not disturb business in Charleston and other places.
 Governor Morgan today issued a proclamation to "all state and county officers, civil and military, and depu- | ties, assistants and subordinates,"
 ordering all to cooperate with the ! United States troops and to obey the orders of the federal co. .Smanders- It was said General bandholtz might order all persons outside of the

 Administration officials declared the incident showed such a violation of the spirit that ought to be main tained," that it called for a cure by the good sense of the people of Wash ington.
 The conference. as an official ex- plained. is not a lark" Washington committees are cooperating with the administration in the task of finding homes and it was said that the first case of profiteering might be handled under the District of Co., lumbia rental control act which con- gress recently extended until next May.
 Much of the cabinet meeting today was devoted to a discussion of con ference plans. It was decided to use the two east wings of the navy build 1 ing for visiting delegations.

 WASHINGTON. Sept. 2. = Attor- neys for the railroads and for the shippers gave oral arguments before the interstate commerce commission today at hearings on the proposed reduction of freight rates on gram and hay, the former arguing that reduction would throw many western roads into bankruptcy. Attorneys for the shippers declared that produc- tion would be lessened and the roads would suffer from reduced traffic, II the present rates were continued.
 R. H. Widdicombe, attorney for the Chicago & Northwestern, said as seftions that present rates would re- suit in a decreased acreage next year were very speculative" Prices, ne added, were governed by supply and demand and net by freight rates. The present low prices for grain were due, he said, to reduced exports as result of conditions in Europe
 J. N. Davis, representing the Chi cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, said western roads this year had expended s5.4 per cent of their revenues for opera 2ng expenses, which, he added, proved that there can be no general reduction in rates"
 Witnesses have shown, he said, that the benefit to the farmer from reductions asked would run from Se to $65 a year for each farmer. Nc one will contend that this is suo- stantial aid. But 8 g per cent re- duction would mean an annual loss | in revenues of over S63.000.0O0 tQ the carriers. and would cut the net re turn to 1.42 per cent"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. - State officials in the absence of other than press dispatches declined today to comment for publication on President Obregon's statement to the Mexican congress that signature of a treaty with the United States was ''neiher possible, convenient. nor nec- essary, and is contrary to Mexican constitutional precepts.'
 Officials in declining to comment, however, emphasized that official ad- vices were being awaited on the re- cent decision of the Mexican supreme court in the case of the Texas com pany, indicating that decision might have most important bearing on the question of recognition of the Obregon government.

 ''The squad of state police that went to Beech Creek on the night of August 27, led by Captain Brockus of the public safety department, did not enter that section to attack the insurrectionists. but Ito serve war rants on individuals who were charged with attacking two state po- licemen and robbing them of their equipment.
 For ten days these armed men had patroled the roads and commit ted offenses against the peace and dignity of the state.

Henry Ford's Successful Railroad Methods Copied From System In Use On British Rail Lines
CUT OUT WEIGHT
Small Light Cars and Loco motives To R epla ce Heavy Rolling Stock Ford's Plan To Make Roads Pay
BY HERBERT COREY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.- Hank Thornton saw it first. Sir Hank Thornton The only British knight who wears his coronet tastily tilted over one eye and smokes his fragrant perfecto out of one corner of his mouth.
 Henry Ford said the other day that railroading is to be slapped into wakefulness and lacked up and other wise changed. He took that little old Detroit, Ironton 6 Toledo, which had only heretofore been useful as an anchor for recurring bond issues which were sold to school teachers and widows, and made regular road out of it. It is running trains on time. paying expenses. even making money. If MT. Ford ever. attends a meeting of the Railroad Executives union and gets away with his life, it will be because his life insurance companies staked him to a body guard. All right, then. Ford said that the railroad of the future is to have:
 What Henry Ford Proposes
 Seventy five ton locomotives. in stead of 200-tonners. Small, light . cars instead of steel warehouses on wheels. Rapid delivery of freight.
 Ford doesn't like our banking friends on Wall street. His reason seems to be that they tried to lend him some money one time and mighty near succeeded. except that he was able to get che bar on the door in time. So that he blames the bankers for the present decadent con- dition of American railroads. He thinks they encourage the building of overheavy locomotives and cars because they make money out of tht equipment companies that provide them, and out of the steel rails they wear out.
 "A steel rail-" said Ford, ought tC wear a hundred years"
 He is setting about curing these de fleets by turning his Rouge Rive plant into a factory for the making of light locos and cars. as proc that he is in earnest when he talk about over-heavy machinery tha wears out steel rails. It is hardl. roaders will say that Ford doesn' know anything about railroading, fo he is making good on road that ha been wrecked by professionals. H has cut in half the time required fo freight deliveries. More than that i many instances.
