Question Of Pumping
Mines First to be Settled
Triple Labor Alliance
Content to Await
Farley Today

London, April I. (By The Associat-
ed Press)-Another day of tense al
formations of hope and fear ended
with one of the prime minister's char
acteristic eleventh hour interview
tons bringing renewed prospects that
the grave industrial crisis will be
averted. He announced in the House
of Commons tonight the willingness
of the government 10 participate in
conference to discuss the question of
pumping before other matters We're
considered.
Informal conferences continued
throughout the evening Moderates
like Mr.. Asquith. Lord Robert Cecil,
Arthur Henderson and John Robert
Clynes, worked hard in an endeavor
to induce the miners to relent on the
question of pumping and it was sup
posed that the whole question was
turning on this slender hope.
Premier Lloyd George had been alb
sent during the latter hours of the
debate on the question. but returned
to the House unexpectedly at II o.
clock and informed the members that
the government had agreed to Il
course. which it is believed practical
ly certain the miners will accept-the
calling of a conference Of owners and
miners to discuss with the govern
ment the difficulty relative to pump
ing the mines before touching upon
the question of wages and other mat
ters involved in the demands of the
men.
What steps exactly had led up to
this change of front are unknown as
yet. Arthur Henderson, who rose to
reply to the premier, was clearly nom
plussed. He had, he said, to express
regret that the premier had not given
notice of such an important state
ment, as Mr. Thomas, secretary of
the National Union of Railwaymen,
to whose suggestion it was apparent
ly due, and other leaders had gone
home
AS he had earlier explained, the
ferred to open the conference without
conditions on either side. but he had
not had an opportunity to consult the
federation since the afternoon; there
fore, he could not assume RESPONSE
bility in the matter. He thought the
only safe line would be for the prime
minister to put his statement into a
letter to the officials for considera-
ton.
The organizations composing the
triple alliance held no further meet
ings tonight; they are apparently
holding hands until tomorrow The
board of trade issued an official re-
port of today's negotiations for the
enlightment of the public. The re-
ports set forth the arguments of both
sides, and concludes with a strong
reputation of the accusation that
the government is engaged in a gen.
eral attack on wages, says:

Charles Can Stay

Lucerne, Switzerland, April For
mer Emperor Charles of Austria
Hungary, domiciled here after his un-
successful trip to Hungary in an eff
fort to reclaim the Hungarian throne,
ia the same hotel suite that King
Constantine and Queen Sophie of
Greece lived in when they were in ex-
lie here! This suite is known locally
as THE Kings and Queens refuge"
The Swiss government permitted the
ex-ruler to return to Switzerland on
ly on condition that he take no part
In intrigues propaganda measures.
He is prohibited from giving inter-
views or from leaving the Canton of
Lucerne, within the borders of which
a villa eventually will be chosen for
the family.
Charles strongly desires to remain
in Switzerland as does the former
empress, because of its climate and
the facilities it affords for the educa-
ton of their children. Therefore, it
is declared, there is no question as
yet of their going to Spain.
The ex-emperor and ex-empress at
tended services at local church.
Both of them looked well, but tired.
Charles seemed to have recovered
from his attack of bronchitis.
This is dull season in Lucerne and
there are few visitors here and the
permanent population is displaying
little interest in the doings of Charles
and his family.

HARRIS CL|NCS
TO CONFESSION
ELwELL KILLING
Describes Room Where
New, York Clubman
Was Slain
He and a William Duncan Hir-
ed by Mysterious 'Mrs.
Fairchild" to Murder Elwell
Pronounced Sane By Alien
list

Buffalo, N. Y. April 1.-Two hours
of questioning tonight by New York
newspaper men who had worked on
the Elwell murder story and knew
every detail of the case failed to
shake the story of Roy Harris. who
last night confessed to the police
that he and q companion murdered
Joseph B. Elwell in New York last
June.
Except for some minor details
Harris, in response to questions, de-
scribed perfectly the arrangement
of the rooms in Elwells home. He
told again the storysof how he and
William Duncan hired by u myster-
ious Mrs. FairchiId" went to the
home of Elwell and waited there for
four hours until their intended vic
tim came home. Then he said, Dun
can fired the shot which killed Ell
well.
Tonight Harris said that he had
seen published in connection with
the Elwell case a picture Of wom-
an who he thought was the Mrs.
Fairchild mentioned in his story.
All efforts to get from him the name
of this woman failed, however. He
said that he would not reveal it I'M
less he was absolutely certain that
the woman of the picture was the
woman who, he said, had hired him
and Duncan to murder Elwell.
District Attorney Moore said that
Harris told a remarkably well con-
nected story of the murder. Before
questioning Harris, the district at
torney had him examined by an
alienist who pronounced him men,
tally normal.
When shown dispatches from
Bridgeport, Conn.,, saying that evil
liam Dunken'' had been in a reform
atory since 1919, Harris said:
II don't know anything about
that. I haven't been in Bridgeport
since I was a boy. The man who
was with me was named William
Duncan"

scr:ption was: Appeared to be an
