Washed Up On Shores

KINGSTON, y. c., July 25.-Thou-
sands of dead fish were washed up on
the North Carolina coast recently
Coast residents have not determined
the cause.
One opinion is that poison gas left
over from the World war was dumped
into the ocean off neighboring port,
another that some ocean-bottom phe-
nomenon occurred by which the oxy-
gen was removed from the water and
the thousands of fish i nthe affected
area were drowned"
The numbers were too great to per-
NIT of entertainment of theory that
inscriptions fishermen dynamited the

than they could handle.
Magistrate Kenneth F. Foscue of this
city saw the beach lined with the fish

Gus. Foscue said. while he saw one alli-
gator in the shoal waters. Even Il
crocodile came ashore. Where the
crocodile could have come from was
complete mystery. The species is en-
tirely foreign TO the region.

WILL NOT RESULT in
SEPARATE AGREEMENT
az Associated Press

BALTIMORE Nd. July 25-The
conference here today between the
management of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad system and representatives of
its striking shopcrafts while permitted
by the national organizations involved.
viii not result in any separate agree
ment or separate settlement of the
strike on the Baltimore and Ohio, ac-
cording TO ]. n. Davis, the national
union Official who is directing the
shopmen's strike in the Baltimore dis
trict. In support of his assertion, Mr..
Davis read g telegram from the rail
way department OF the federation OF
labor at Chicago, which said: Con
ferences will be permitted but no ac-
ton is authorized"
Mr.. Davis said he was positive that
if the national officers requested the
system representatives of the B. and
o. strikers not to attend the confer
ence they would stay away.
"Inasmuch as the Baltimore and
Ohio officials have asked for it, pre-
sumo they did not wish to be discour-
teous in denying it" he said.
"A separate agreement with the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad would be
an admission of weakness of the posi-
ton taken by the shopmen in this
strike, which is out of the question
and not to be thought Of" Mr.. Davis
added.
Request for Help
He declared that the kilograms sent
President Harding yesterday on be-
half of the Baltimore strikers appeal
ing to the president to call a White
House conference for the purpose of
discussing the questions at issue IN
an effort to reach just and equitable
agreement was not an attempt to fore
stall a separate agreement with the
Baltimore and Ohio, as had been as
serted in some quarters. 1T is a re-
quest to the president for his help
in settling the strike nationally" the
union leader said
There was some expectation that If
today's conference does not result in
peace between the B. and o. and its
shopmen it may formulate plans which
will be the basis for discussion at
national conference such as that re-
quested in the telegram to President
Harding yesterday.
Those who are to take part in the
conference were communicative as
to its probable outcome, and no ex-
pressions as to the issues TO be dis
cussed could be obtained in advance
of the meeting

BERLIN, July 25.-A museum of
living voices-more than 1000 phono-

Is The professor believes that from
this extraordinary museum he could

ify peace in the world, and he is now
trying to arrange for contact with
other scientists.
"Furthering the mutual understand
ing of the peoples as we'll as of scien-

been the aim of our work. For in
stance, the general idea about the

Can anyone imagine a tribe having
such songs and being mere set of

Wicked people do not sing says
the German proverb All human
tribes, as we have confirmed, possess
songs. some of which are merry and
harmless ones, others full of passion
and love, and some, the Slavic and
Oriental races principally, which seem
to be distilled out of sobs and tears "
Professor Dogen says that where
ever he had given performances in
Germany and abroad, the press has
been unanimous in affirming that a
wave of practical pacificism had en-
anated therefrom, more effective than
the speeches made by political paci-
