.SyRETARY BLACK
Papers In Action Demand
ing PRONUNCIATION of
Acts Are Filed

Because Of the fact that the four
attorneys engaged in the case had not
been able to prepare their briefs in
the mandamus case brought by Gov.
Hartness against Secretary of State
Black to secure promulgation of the
acts OF the recent legislature. Vermont
supreme court did not receive the mat
ter this afternoon, as expected ad-
joarnment being taken until to-mor-
row, at which time the attorneys ex-
pected to have their briefs ready. On
the decision of the court rests the is
sue whether a special session of the
legislature is necessary to re-enact the
delayed bills.
The mandamus papers have been
filed with the clerk of the court, ask
ing the court to order the secretary
of state to promulgate the acts and
stating that 80 bills reached the exec
utive Office on March 2s, 20, 80 and 81
and April /. The legislature adjourhid
March 81 at noon.
Included with the papers were auor
respondence passing between Governor
Hartness and Secretary Black, the for
mer asking the secretary to promulgate
the acts of the legislature of 1921 on
the ground that they were matter of
public interest. Governor Hartness,
the correspondence shows, asked Secre
tary Black the treason why the acts
should not be engrossed.
In his feply Secretary Black gives
a long list of bills with the dates as
they reached his office, setting forth
that many of them came TO- his office
after the adjournment of the legisla-
ture. He gave it as his opinion that
the bills, having been sigAed after the
of the legislature, were
not legally enacted and, therefore,
should not be engrossed. He gave it as
his opinion that the bills should have
been signed before the adjournment
Of the legislature.
Secretary Black has also filed with
the clerk of the court his answer to
the mandamus proceedings brought by
Governor Hartness, in which he sets
forth much as in his letter to Governor
Hartness. that the time for the approx
al OF bills is before the adjournment
Of the legislature. He replied that he
could not engross the bills signed after
such adjournment.

SACK IS FOUND
It Had Been Stolen From a
Mail Pouch Late
Wednesday

Chicago, April An abandoned
mail sack found by the police early to-
day and believed to be the registered
pouch stolen by bandits from mail

containing five smaller bags, which in
turn held currency of large denomina-
tion.
The robbery took place at the Dear
born street station in the business
quarter. Bystanders said that it was
committed in less than two minutes. So
sudden was the assault on the mail
truck that many conflicting stories
were given by witnesses.
The four bandits held up a dozen
mail clerks and several bystanders at
the point Of pistols, demanding that
the registe cred mail pouch be thrown
out of the truck One of the robbers,
described as huge man weighing more
than 200 pounds, grasped the sack. with
one hand and ct-ried it to car across
the street.
Two other pouches were then taken,
the bandits escaping in an automobile.
Only one shot was fired, one of the ban
dts firing at a companion before rec-1
ognizing him.
As the bandits machine turned the
first corner a policeman fired two shots
at the car without effect
Early to-day the police found the
three mail pouches, ripped open and
their contents missing, in a vacant lot
The bandits automobile was found
abandoned about two miles from the
place where the pouches were discoy-
cred.

Settlement of British Coal
Miners Strike Is
Delayed
CONFERENCE BREAK
UP is COMPLETE
So Premier Lloyd George
Told House of
Commons

London, April,7 by the Associated
Press A complete breakup of the
conference between representatives OF
the miners, the owners and the govern
ment with the view TO settling the coal
strike was announced in the House OF
Commons by Premier Lloyd George this
afternoon.
The failure of the conference, Mr..
Lloyd George declared, came as a conse-
quence of the refusal of the miners
federation TO allow the. pump men to
return to work until thy miners condi
tion of national wage system and a
national profits pool had been accepted.
He added that since it had been made
clear the miners federation would not
consider any settlement except on the
conceding of their demands in full the
government, relying on the assistance
of the great mass Of the people, must
take every means in its power to meet
the situation.
The view of the miners federation
he asserted, was that 10 permit he
bumpers to return would be 10 relin.
quish the weapon with which the min
ers hoped TO bring the government and
the mine owners TO a speedy acceptance
of their terms.
Amid cheers, the premier declared
that the issue was much wider than
that of what wages should be paid.
The government. he said, had always
kept an open mind on the question Of
wages and was prepared to use its
good offices in reaching solution. He
regretted extremely that the miners
had taken so grave a decision, involv-
ing injury and misery TO their fellow
citizens throughout the country as well
as to themselves

SEEKS HEARING
ON YAP MANDATE
United States Never Has
Agreed to Japanese Con-
troll Over Island
HUGHES AXIS FOR
A RECONSIDERATION
Notes Addressed to Japan,
France, italy and Great
Britain

Washington, d. c., April THE
right of the American government to
participate in the peace settlements
affecting the former overseas posses
sions of Germany has been stated anew
by Secretary Hughes in similar notes
which are now before the Japanese,
French, British and Italian govern
ments.
Continuing a correspondence begun
by the Wilson administration, the new
secretary Of state specifically asks
those governments to reconsider the
award Of mandate to Japan for the
Island of zap. He argues that the fail
ure of the United States to become a
party TO the treaty of Versailles has
not affected its rights in the overseas
possessions, the titles in which Ger
many renounced in the peace treaty
to the principal allied and associsted
powers.
The attention of the four allied gov
ernments is again called to the fact
that President Wilson, at the meetings
of the council Of four in Paris during
the framing of the treaty, specifically
made reservations affecting the future
statute of zap Furthermore, Mr..
Hughes embodies in his note a mem
orandum from Mr. Wilson to the state
department under date OF last March
3 in which the former president de-
clares he never agreed to mandate
for Japan over the island and that it
was his understanding that the ques
tion of the disposition Of the island
was to be deferred until the question
of cable communications was settled
II has been contended that the man.
date over zap was awarded TO Japan
by the council OF four while President
Wilson was at Paris.
