ADMINISTRATION MANDATE CONTROVERSY TO NEXT PRESIDENT
IRepubllcan A. p. Leased WireI

WASHINGTON, March 2.-F'urther steps in the controversies between the American government and the allies and the league of nations council over mandates will be left to President Harding and Charles E. Hughes, his secretary of state. Decision of this administration to take no further ac tion was made known today after the receipt of the replies from the council and Great Britain to the American notes on mandates for the island of Tap, held by Japan, and for Mesopo- tamia, to be awarded Great Britain Officials said there was insufficient time for them to prepare answers. They also indicated that it might be re- garded as presumptuous if they acted
 We have taken the steps to protect the position of the United states gov ernrnent," said Under Secretary of state Davis, and the matter is in posi- tion to be dealt with by the incoming administration.
 The text of the note was made public but that of the British note was with held. Question of its publication, off cials said. would be left to the new ad- ministration The text of the counclis note did not differ from that gwen out at Paris.
 Comment was withheld by officials. It was evidenced, however, thdl lhe action of the league in postponing con sideration of the Mesopotamia and oth- CT class "A" mandates until May or June was received with satisfaction.
 Contention of the league that 1t has no authority over the award or class 'C''. mandates such as that for Tap probably will not result in the lnltla : tion of any new negotiations regarding this question as the United States has taken this matter up directly with Japan
 The American government has pro tested against Japan controlling the important cables centering on the lSI- and. There has been suggestion that the two questions, that of the mandate and the control of the cables, be sep arated with the cables placed under international control, but one obstacle it is said appears in the terms ot the mandate taken in connection with Jap anese law. Under the mandate Jap | anese law extends over the island ana 1 that law prohibits operation and con 1 trol of cables by other than Japanese subjects. Legislative action by the ! Japan diet would be required to give | effect to such a settlement.

BIC CRASH
Architect and Engineer Investi-
I gate SaIina Disaster.
Failure of Truss to Hold Cause
of Temple Collapse.

Salina, Kan, July 12.-An investl-
CATION was begun here today to de-
termine the cause OF the collapse yes
terday of the concrete framework of
the new million dollar Masonic tenn
pie William Schmidt, an architect
of Oklahoma City, and Noble & Cock
rell, consulting engineers of Kansas
City, are conducting the probe.
According to H. A. Patterson, su-
perintendent of the construction. the
collapse of the building was caused
by the breaking of an S0-foot truss
supporting the fourth floor. The
truss began to bend yesterday morn
ing and workmen were engaged In
placing timbers to support it when the
crash came.
Late yesterday workmen rescued
George Shawhan and Roy Beckmore,
who were caught in the crash and
buried in the basement of the. build
ing under tons of Wreckage. The con-
crete girders and trusses and the shat
tered timbers fell in such a manner
that both men were caught in "pock-
ets' and saved from being crushed
Shawhan suffered broken leg and
body bruises while Beckmore was
slightly injured. It was only after
several hours of heroic digging that
the men were reached.
Nearly 100000 of construction
work had already been done on the
building and the investigation will de.
termine where this loss shall fall.

Following the resignation of Cod.
ding. Hudspeth sought the restoration
of some of the former prison stand
ards. He sought to discourage the
idea that a prison is a community cen
ter and that law vio1ators are reward
ed for crime. Under his short term
efficiency of prison Industrial depart
ments has greatly improved.
A Policy of Humanity.
Amrine, who succeeds to the new
job, has announced a policy of hui
Codding school and bitterly opposed
TO "dollari' '1g'' the penitentiary. In
stead-he will go in for extensive mis-
sionary work among the convicts and
will seek moral uplift and spiritual sal
walton rather than rigid discipline and
prison regulation. Amrine was super
intendent of the state reformatory at
Hutchinson during the administration
of Governor Stubbs. While in charge
of the Hutchinson institution ne was
encouraged in his policy of prison re-
formatory and "humanitarianisI :"
prison life. The succeeding Hodges
administration, tho, was a bit callous
and hardened-as well as Democratic
and Amrine's efforts for prison up-
lift met with his discharge following
an investigation.
Editor of Council Grove Guard.
Amrine is editor of the Council
Grove Guard.
Appointment of Amrine will recall
to persons with long political MEM
orfes. the story of the Amrine-Mulvane
fight-which really wasn't a fight at
ALL Amrine is perhaps the one and
only person against whom the quiet,
cool and slow spoken Muivane ever
displayed resentment. Strange as II
may appear, Mulvane never apollo
gized Nor did Mulvane's friends re-
, sent this neglect.
1t all happened in the old Copeland
hotel just before the memorable Re-
publican state convention of 1905. Null
vane and Senator Charles Curtis were
in the lobby talking. Amrine entered
and shook hands with Senator Curtis
Possibly the shrewd Kansas senator
didn't recall that Amrine had written
an especially bitter criticism OF Null
vane. In any event he proceeded &c
introduce the two men.
Very calmly and with characteristic
dignity and a wee bit of sarcasm, Null
vane mentioned that he didn't appre-
ciate the introduction. Whereupon
Amrine made an unkind remark. And
then for the first time in the memory
of men in Kansas politics, Mulvane
laid aside the cool reserve that has
been so evident in every political bat
tie. He took one good, free swing at
Amrine's head. His fist landed square,
ly on Amrine's nose and the newspaper
i man went back against a bunch OF
lobby chairs. Then the men were sep
arated. But long after that encounter
Kansas politicians pointed with pride
to the spot where blood had been shed
on the floor of the famous hosiery.
In politics Amrine has been with the
progressive wing of the Republican
party, deserting for the Bull Moosers
| in 1924. He entered the game in
a small way with boss busters In 1904
and won bis first state recognition when
Mulvane swung a heavy right on his
nose in 1906. He supported Stubbs in
1908, Joined the Bristow forces in the
fight on Long and was for Roosevelt

conference with Premier Lloyd
George.
London. July 12.-The first viola
ton of the Irish armistice was re-

firing broke out twice during the
night, but that there were no casu-

Sir James Craig. premier of Ulster,

Smuts Refuses Offer.
General Jan Christian Smuts, pre-

been invited by Lloyd George to act
as chairman of the proposed Irish
peace parley in London, but he re-
fused.
General Smuts said he had passage
for South Africa, leaving England
July 20, but will cancel if he finds
that his presence is needed here.
Fear Belfast Riots.
Satisfaction felt by the people of
England over the arrangement of a
meeting on Thursday between Eamonn

Prime Minister Lloyd George was
tempered by apprehension today over
the situation in Belfast.
The rioting. which began in that
city on Sunday, continued yesterday
with diminished severity, and while
there were acts of violence yesterday
forenoon in various parts of Ireland.
the center of apprehension was in
Belfast.
It was felt that today might be crit

POTATO YIELD CUT
Growers Forced to Sell When
Market Is on Slump.
First Shipments From Topeka
Go Over Union Pacific.

The potato exodus from the Kaw
valley is on. and will install special
Union Pacific will install a special
''spud" train to help move the crop.
The potato harvest was started
Monday when the Union Pacific re-
ported shipment of from fifteen to
twenty cars. When the digging reaches
the peak the company expects to
handle from forty to fifty carloads
a day and this is the reason that a
special train will be used. 1t will
operate between Kansas City and
Perry. Regular trains, with the aid
of switch engines, can handle the
shipments here, it is said.
Heavy Shipments of Potatoes.
Other railroads report shipments of
potatoes, but the bulk of them, so
Union Pacific officials claim, are
handled by their road.
There are 1000 more acres of po-
tatoes in the Kaw valley this year
than there were last, but the yield is
not nearly SO heavy. The late freezes
are said to have resulted in cutting
the crop in half, perhaps, more. The
size of the potatoes is also disappoint-
ing, altho the quality is fair. Rains
have delayed the digging to some ex-
tent, but it will be on in full blast
this week.
Yield Much Smaller.
Not only is the yield much smaller
than it was last. year and that of q
normal season. but the growers are
forced to sell their potatoes when the
market is on a slump. One cent pei
pound was the price which the grow
ers were receiving Monday. and there
seems to be little prospects for an in
crease. Six cents per pound vas the
price received at this time last year
The fact that there is plenty of labor
to assist in the digging. is the only joy
connected with this years crop. the
growers say.
Just why the price of potatoes
should be so low is hard to under
stand. Usually when there is short
age or poor crop, the price scars. but
that rule isn't working now. r. o
| B1echa, Shawnee county farm agent
says that the Shawnee crop is this
/ poorest in years. and this goes fol
practically all of the Kaw valley crop
] Fully two-thirds OF the Oklahoma croI
has been destroyed by lack of moisturt
and excessive heat, and much of thu
northern crop is on the blink. Ne
braska is the only state reporting &
| normal crop.

NOT ENOUGH CARS
Railroads Look for Big Rush
to Market Wheat.
Plenty of Cars for Few Days,
Says Santa Fe Report.

That another box car shortage is
impending in Kansas and is certain to
come if the farmers of the state back
up their reported determination to
sell the years wheat crop as soon as
they thresh, is the situation as dis
closed by various railroad officials to-
day.
There is no shortage yet, in fact
there will be plenty of cars for few
days, but ]. r. Koontz. assistant
freight traffic manager for, the Santa
Fe, says that tremorS of a shortage
are already being felt by his road IN
the southwest part of the state. and
declares that If the wheat does not go
onto the market in a steady stream
covering a period of the next few
months, there is bound to be real
shortage.
Can't Handle Wheat Crop.
There is one feature of the box
car situation" said Koontz, "and that
is the shippers should know the ac-
tual facts. There is no use to say
that there is not going to be short
age because everybody knows that the
railroads can't handle the Kansas
wheat when the marketing reaches
the peak. If we could get the wheat
in a steady flow there wouldn't be
any trouble but if all of the farmers
are going to let loose of their wheat
as fast as they thresh, there will be a
real shortage DY the mlddlo OF aug
ust''
The railroads are in better shape tc
meet the wheat marketing now thar
they have been for several years but
there are different market conditions
to deal with The railroads have more
cars this year and the number in bad
order is down to almost a minimum
The Santa Fe has only sixty-four more
box cars now than it had this time
last year, but the number of cars in
bad order has been greatly reduced
The system has some 5000 such cars
but a large percentage of them can be
