GOV. MORCAN'S COURSE
FLAYED BEFORE SENATE
1Rv Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. = The
course of Governor Morgan of West
Virginia. with respect to mine disor-
ders in his state was criticized before
the senate investigating committee to-
day by H c. Ogden, publisher of the
Wheeling News and the Wheeling
Intelligencer.
The West Virginia governor. Mr..
Ogden declared had "sat still" on a
party platform, pledging abolition OF
the mine guard system, and not only
had not pressed such legislation but
had stood in it's path.
Mr.. Ogden also told the committee
that effective. use of the state con-
stabulary by the governor would have
obviated the necessity for calling in
federal troops in the recent conditions
of violence.
He said the governor had no power
to remove summarily state and local
authorities who failed to function
properly and that had the state ex-
ecutive had such powers, he believed
that some of the situations leading to
the uprising might never have
occurred

terms for settlement of the issue
Mr.. Yen denied the charge. He said
the Chinese government would shortly
issue a statement to the newspapers
in an endeavor to clear the govern
ment of the charges.
The Pekin Leader, in an editorial
says that it will be impossible to hold
the Shantung negotiations in either
Peking or Toxic. 1t suggests that the
delegates to the approaching Wash
ington conference confer informally
and settle the matter tentatively and
that the conference on Pacific ques-
tions endorse the settlement or arbi-
trate the matter. The newspaper says
it believes that such action taken in
Washington would not be objection
able to the Chinese people.
