Washington May 20.-Irate south
ern senators temporarily blocked a
senate vote on the Borah disarmament
amendment to the naval bill, as we'll
as other provisions scheduled to be
disposed of today.
Led by Senator Smith, South Caro-
lima. they began what threatened to
amount to little fillibuster against
the bill, unless the senate included in
it a provision for construction of a dry
dock at Charleston, S. C.
The United States was expected to-
day to take the first step toward ma
val disarmament.
A vote was scheduled on Senator
Borah's proposal empowering Presi-
dent Harding to invite Great Britain
and Japan TO confer with this gov
eminent ON five-year program of
naval building reduction.
Indications were that the senate
would adopt the measure and that IA
vorable action would later be taken
by the house.
Well informed observers believed
that Japan would welcome a naval
holiday" providing it were initiated
by either the United States or Great
Britain.
A similar attitude by Great Britain
was reported in United Press dis
patches from London.
Adoption Expected Today.
Washington, May 20.-Adoption of
Senator Borah's proposal for a three
power conference on naval disarma-
preparation bill was expected late to-
day in the senate.
The roll call is expected to show
the senate almost unanimously in
favor of Borahs plan, which simply
empowers the president to invite a
conference with this government, the
government of Great Britain and
Japan, the purpose being to discuss
plan for a five-year program of
naval armament reduction.
Japs Want England First.
Japan feels the initiative of a dis
armament movemo 1T should rest with
Great Britain or the United States,
and her government will not take the
lead in such a step, it was learned
from well informed sources here to-
day.
The japanese government, it was
said. is determined to have a navy
strong enough to cope with the
ApiCt WHICH any enemy might COncen-
trate in the Far East.
This is declared to be the Mikado's
attitude toward the agitation for a
naval agreement among the three
principal naval powers-Great Brit
ain, the United States and Japan.
To carry out this policy, the present
government Of Japan is understood to
feel that their navy must be con-
stantly increased to keep abreast of
the other two major naval powers.
England Much Interested.
London, May 20-Great Britain
today watched with keenest interest
the progress of Senator Borah's dis
armament proposal thru congress.
Surrounded on all sides by Possibili-
ties of war. Britain found it impos-
sible to take the lead in reducing

unqualifiedly in favor of the project.

The above picture is based on a
symbolic drawing by Ike GI1berg, the
well known Topeka tailor and social
reformer. Gilberg is a Russian Jew
by birth. He was once a deep stu
dent of Jewish theology. intending 10
become rabbi, but not being able to
retain orthodox ideas as to the nature
of God, and of mans soul, and of the
relation of mans soul to God, he aban-
doned Judaism and developed a re-
ligion of his own, which he claims
embraces the best in all religions.

corners and remain without a voice
in church government. The hand that
rocks the cradle may rule the tenn
poral world, but the authority in the
spiritual world must remain with the
men.
Agitation for women's right which
has placed them in the legislative halls
and allowed them to don the black
robes of the judiciary has failed thus
far to make an impression in the con-
duct of ecclesiastical affairs.
Returns from the plebiscite taken
among the million and a half mem
bers of the Presbyterian church, and
reported to the general assembly here
today, showed that the movement to
allow women to sit as commissioners
in the assembly, was beaten decisively.
Much Scripture Quoted.
DR.. S. Hall Young, revered Presby-
terrain minister of New York, has given
a lifetime in battling for the right of
women to sit in church councils. but
his campaign has been futile.
Many Scriptural passages are quoted
by those who look upon the leader
ship of women with disfavor. This
one, cited from the eleventh chapter
of Timothy, was cited whenever the
question was discussed here today:
LET the women learn in silence
with all subsection, but suffer not
woman to teach nor to usurp authority
| over men. but be in silence"
| Another passage from the four
tenth chapter of Corinthians Is ire
quently turned to:
| Let your women keep silence in the
| churches, for it is not permitted unto
| them to speak, but they are command
ed to be under obedience, as also saith
| the law.
| Proponents of women's active par
ticipation in church affairs answer
that these arguments are antiquated;
that they do not apply to the women
| of today.

putting the election off until next
year, but friends of the two contend

to make the position for five years in

Church Union Favored.
A movement was started here today
for the union of all Presbyterian and
Reformed churches into one organiza-
ton. The recommendation was made
to the Presbyterian general assembly,

church cooperation and union. The

INDUSTRY STARTED
LOCAL PEOPLE ARE OPENING A COAL
Nine NEAR RAWLINS and EXPECT
TO MARKET The PRODUCT
IN The NEAR FUTURE

Within a thousand feet of the
Union Pacific sidetrack at Cherokee
station. 23 miles west of Rawlins,
three entries are being driven into
a seven foot coal vein. houses arcct-
ed. roads improved and timbers de
livered in order that production and
marketing of coal may be started be-
fore winter sets in. One entry for
air lines. III for runway and one
for tracks.
Two sections of land was located
by w. S. Cook early in the year and
with the assistance of J.. w. Mcln-
turf a local corporation has been
formed with a capital of 500. 600. 90
represented by 100000 shares of
stock with a par value of fifty cents
per share. The stock is being sold
at par and the proceeds expended in
the development of the property. The
officers figure that the sale Of an
other $4,000 shares at par will put
the mine IN a paying basis. The
company treasury holds a substantial
share of the stock according to the
officers to the officers and will not
be sold unless necessary for expan-
sion needs and only then at a great
ly increased price.
A representative of The Republi-
can has visited the property and finds
that there is at least II seven foot
vein OF Ignite coal into which a
sixty foot entry has been driven.
This work shows a solid bed of coal
without dirt OF bone, a roo of slate
and with about one degree dip into
the hills which rise abruptly back
from the tunnel mouth. The mine
is located about % feet above a level
with the Union Pacific, affording
ample loading room and sufficient
rack for the sidetrack to enable cars
to be spotted above the property st
Thai they may be dropped to posi-
ton, loaded and moved on toward
the main line without the use of a
horse or other power.
The coal is a brilliant black lig-
mite. burns with a blue flame. de-
velops intense heat, shows very little
smoke and leaves a yellowlsh-grey
ash without clinkers.
Quite a bit OF stock has been sub
scribed by local people and an earn
est effort is promised by the man
agement to get the mine into pro-
duction shape at the earliest possible
date. There appears always to be a

greatly reduced prices the officials
claim that substantial dividends will
result. After another week the Of
ficers hope to have work advanced
sufficiently to welcome visitors and
at that time sign boards will be erect
ed at that point on Lincoln High
way where cars will turn off to get
to the mine. 1t is evident that with
greater depth the coal will improve
in quality and the officials all state
that indications of two additional
veins lying below the seven foot
vein are outcropping nearby and
with hardly a doubt will be found
under every part of the 1899 acres
hold by the company. The mine will
give employment to ten men to start
with and the force increased as
progress demands.
