ALLIES AT LAST ARE AGREED ON
 UPPER S|LES|A
Premier Briand Tells Supreme Council That British and
 French Are in Accord
WILL SEND NO TROOPS
Delegates Decide No More Armed Forces Essential
 in Plebiscite Zone

PARIS, Aug. 9.-(By the Associated Press)-M. Briand, the French premi. CT, announced to the supreme council this afternoon that the British prime minister, Lloyd George, and he were in agreement in principle upon the Upper Silesia boundary and that it re- mained for the experts to draw the exact line, which would be on basis of giving equal value to the votes cast In the recent plebiscite, whether Pol ish or German, and whether in the mining, industrial or rural townships.
 One result of the plebiscite in a general way" said M Briand, indicat- ing brdadly the principle the experts must follow, there is no doubt that the German is in the west and the olish mass in the east of Upper Sile- sia. Thus, geographically speaking, the solution is easy to be seen and even obligatory"
 The members of all the delegations feel a sense of relief tonight that the thorny entanglement which has been threantening to wreck the peace of Europe has been solved by the spirit of mutual consideration and good will which the French and British premi- CTS displayed in their private meet ings on Sunday and Monday nights
 The belief is held here that Poland and Germany will accept the settle ment.
 In the meantime, the council decid- ied not to send allied achievements to Upper Silesia. France had desired to dispatch additional troops to that territory, but when the question came before the council, the British and Italian delegates voted against it. Gen eral Lerond. head of the inter-allied commission in Upper Silesia had urg- ed endorsements as a precautionary measure.

SENATE VI IFS GRAIN TRADING
 CONTROL BILL Capper- incher Measure Is Adopted in Less Than 2
 Hours Consideration EXCHANGES SATISFIED We Bow to Public Opinion Says President Chicago
 Board of Trade
EXCHANGES SATISFIED

WASHINGTON, Aug. g. - The Cap per-Tincher grain trading control bill passed the senate in record time to- day. It took less than two hours, most of which was devoted to speech by Senator Capper, Republican, Kan sas, and now goes to conference.
 As it passed the house, the bill i'm posed a prohibitive tax upon puts and calls and other speculative transac- tions and also upon exchanges which do not become contract markets" un- der government supervision. It also admitted cooperative associations to memberships upon exchanges.
 The principal senate amendments propose to modify the records which members and exchanges must make of all transactions to be available to the secretary of agriculture, to suspend members under certain conditions. to provide for government publicity of investigations as conducted and busi- ness transacted, permit cooperative associations to rebate commissions and release sales of cash grain for deferred shipment from the operation of the act
 Senator Dial, Democrat, South Car olina, did not press as an amendment his bill to regulate grading in cotton futures trading stating that the sen. ate agriculture committee intended to give it special consideration and he hoped for early action upon it.
 In a statement issued after the pas sage of the bill, Joseph P. Griffin, president of the Chicago Board of trade, said that while the legislation was not considered necessary in view of public sentiment for the regulatory measure, the grain exchanges would bow to the great force of public opin- ion"

Senator Draws Fire of State Convention For Alleged
 Violation of Pledge

PRESCOTT, AriZ., Aug. 9. - John G. Emery, acting national command CT of the American Legion, was in mander at the coming national con- vention of the legion in Kansas City by the state convention of the organ ization here' today.
 Adoption of the resolution indors- ing Emery practically eliminates sev- eral Arizona candidates from the race for national commander, according to delegates to the convention.
 Another resolution adopted today condemned United States Senator Ralph Cameron, of Arizona, for his failure to keep an alleged pledge to support the adjusted compensation measure in congress.
 Twenty-Five resolutions were adopt ed by the convention but only two of them referred to business affairs of the legion. These two appropriated $500 for the expenses of the state commander during the coming year and the travelling expenses of dele gates to the national convention.
 Publicity given by some newspa- pers of the state to the military rec ords of persons accused or convicted of crime was deprecated and the state adjutant was instructed to request the editors to adopt policy of Ire straint" in connection with such mat ters.
 Annual reports of several posts were read today. It was reported that the legion has gained members in many communities, but in others the posts have been crippled by req son of the cessation of mining activi- ties. In general, however. it was re- ported, the legion has held it's own and the reports predicted an increase in membership during the remaining months of this year.

Judge Quinn. The Democrats of
the city were greatly enthused,
and confidently believe that they
will carry the city.

A little over one month until
the November election, and we
take it that the candidates in the
next five weeks will be active.
There are varied opinions as to
the final outcome in some races,
but there is but one opinion as
to the conduct of the canvass up
to the present time. So far as
our observation goes it has been
conducted courteOusly, and if it
closes as it commenced, there
will be no room for hard feel
ings. No man who is worthy is
denied the right to run for
office, and but one candidate can
be elected for one position.
Therefore, we hope that the can.
vass will close as it begun, and
that the very best men before the
people will be chosen.

Leg Bail.

Last Thursday night about eleven
o'clock, three prisoners escaped from
the Jail at this place. The names are
Arthur Glenn colored, charged with
shooting, John and Claud Bell,
robbery charge, brothers, and white.
They sawed out. From the num-
erous escapes from the bastile, it
seems that our Jail is very insecure.
When the Fiscal Court meets in Oc-
tober a thorough examination should
be made, and where there are defects,
the remedy should be applied. These
three characters are not desperate, but
they are viclators of the law, and
should be caught and brought to JUS

The proposed amendment is

ment to take from the people the
right to elect one of their most
important public officers and

Under the first Constitution of
Kentucky even the Governor was
not elected by the direct vote of
the people. He was chosen by a
College of Electors, consisting OF
eleven persons. Many impor.

people did not long stand for
this system. They have sought
to gain more and more control OF
their public affairs by the direct
election of their most important
public officers. This struggle
