SHIP FIRST GRAPE
CAR FROM NEOSHO

The first car of Moore's Early
grapes was shipped from Neosho last
night. Its destination was Trinidad,
Colo, and the price received was
thirty-five cents per basket. The car
contained more than $500 baskets.
1t was thought that a second car
might be loaded late last night. If
that is not accomplished, the next car
will be shipped this morning. 1t will
be sent to Minneapolis and is sold at
the same price brought by the car
sent to Trinidad.
Grape baskets arrived yesterday
and all ordered now are in Neosho. 1t
is believed that the supply will be
ample, but with a shower Tuesday
morning the crop probably will reach
the maximum estimate and some
owners of vineyards may find their
baskets inadequate to care for the
yield,
1t is estimated that shipments from
Neosho will reach 100 cars. The Ozark
Fruit Growers Association offices
have been opened in Neosho and P. A.
Rodgers, sales manager, is in charge
of the selling of the crop. J. A.
Eastridge is in charge of handling it
for the growers.

PRESIDENTS PLAN
Decision to Accept Presidents Sug-

ed After Two Days Conference.

Chicago, Aug. Full acceptance
of the peace proposals submitted by
President Harding was voted tonight
by leaders of the striking railway
shopmen, who, however, gave their
own Interpretation of each of the

"We submit reluctantly, it is true,
but commit ourselves to carry out the
terms of settlement in utmost good
faith and in aid of the general well
fare" said the message of acceptance
sent to President Harding tonight.

OFFICIAL COUNT MUST
DECIDE COUNTY RESULTS

The vote on some of the county Off
GERS in the primary election is so close
that it will take the official count to
decide the winners. Several precincts
sent in sealed returns only and they
will not be opened until Friday, when
the official count is made. Until that
time the result will be in doubt on the
candidates who are running close
race. There has been no change in the
report made by the Daily Times of
Wednesday as to the standing of the
various candidates. There is possi-
bility that the final count will change
the result.

GOVERNMENT INACTIVE
ON STRIKE ISSUE
Rail Executives Willing to Continue
NegOtiations-Pre Awaits
Shopmen's Reply.

Washington, Aug 2.-Further
government action in the rail strike
was held i'll allegiance today, although
rail executives who refused President
Harding's suggestions for settlement
yesterday were understood to have in
formed administration agencies that
the door was still open for negotia-
tions.
If protection in seniority status
acquired by shopmen who have con-
tinued to work in spite of the strike
could be guaranteed, any basis of set
tlement the president might find fair
would be ,favorably considered by the
managements, it was said. Tentative
discussions during the day had
brought no tangible results.
The president was said to be await
ing the text of the reply which union
leaders at Chicago were drafting to
his settlement proposals. Secretary
Hoover, who attended the session of
the road executives at New York, said
that no immediate governmental steps
were to be expected. Other cabinet
members indicated that claims of rail-
road managements as to their ability
to maintain transportation could get
test during the next few days and
that if the strike demonstrated symp-
toms of dissolution, as predicted by
the carriers, the president might not
move again.

tonight, and is now leading Brecken-

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 2.-R. r. Brew
ster of Kansas City took the lead in
the Republican senatorial race on re-
turns reporting at 4:45 p. m. today,
when 1887, precincts out of 3,848 in
the state gave Brewster 66,376 and
William Sacks of st. Louis 62,081.
Practically all of the remaining pre-
cincts to be heard from are from
counties other than Jackson kansas
City, and st. Louis. The rural dis
tricts have shown exceptional
strength for Brewster.
Sacks strength has been prae-
tiCully III III Tic SOuliIIy uioSiiStS, dllu
on the basis of these figures friends
of Brewster believe he will win by
anywhere from $1,000 to $4,000. Four
other candidates in the Republican
race are not within shooting distance
of the goal. Three progressives split
more than 10000 votes between them,
while Colonel John r. Parker, chief of
staff of the Seventh army corps or
ganized reserves at jefferson Bar
racks, is far in the rear. The vote:
Attorney General Jesse E. Barrett,
29,261; David M. Proctor, 21,129;
John C. Mckinley, 20,019, and Parker
10,053.
The outcome of the Reed-Long
race, feature event of yesterdays pri-
mary, probably will not be known un-
til virtually the complete vote has
been tabulated. Scattered precincts
in many counties are included in, the
more than 700 missing, along with the
entire vote of Ozark and Stone, two
isolated communities in the Ozark
nountains, far. down in the south
western corner OF the state. On Che
basis of the returns already received
Reeds lead in Kansas City and st.
Louis may not be sufficient to win if
Mr.. Long maintains his present ratio
in the country.
An analysis of the returns shows
that if the present ratio is maintained
throughout the missing precincts it
would give a plurality Of approx
mately 1900. In such close race,
however, changing of two and one
half votes to the precinct in favor of
Reed would change the result.
In the Republican senatorial con-
test, r. r. Brewster of Kansas City,
endorsed by the Republican organic
alton, regained the lead this afternoon
and on returns from 1857 precincts
out of 3,848 in the state is 1922 votes
ahead of William Sacks, who ran on
light wine and beer platform. Sacks
polled tremendous vote in ST. Louis,
his home city, but as the rural dis
tricts came in Brewster began climb

financial relief of farmers, formulated
In agreement with senate leaders on
both the agriculture and banking com
mittees and to be pressed with their
support at the short session of con-

terday between President Harding,
Secretary Wallace and 15 Republican
senators, headed by Senator Lodge,
majority senate leader, and Senator
Watson, of Indiana, who has been
making an active survey of the ques-
ton, the program contemplates util-
ization of the federal farm loan board

est rates and time, to meet the pres
ent agricultural necessity.
