 Seattle held a three day eel ebration the same week when all the scenes of the Klondike were reproduced by the pion- eers themselves. Friendships which started on the Dyea trail were renewed and made doubly strong, for Alaskans on the out side are more c1annish than the Scotch.

they are found dead their bodies will
be prepared for burial and brought up

C0MNITTEE MEETS SATURDAY
TO CONSIDER KELLER'S CHARGE
tBy United Press0

Washington, Sept. 14.-The House
judiciary committee today was called
to meet Saturday TO consider Repre-
sentative Keller's impeachment
charges against Attorney General
Daugherty
Keller will be asked to appear be
fore the committee, Representative
Volstead chairman, announced.
Volstead said the committee would
not receive any testimony on the
charges. The first sep, he said, was
to determine whether the seven
counts in the indictment presented by
Keller constituted grounds for i'm
peachment, if proved.
If the committee so determines,
a time will be set for hearings. Vol
stead said, and Keller will be invited
to submit evidence in support Of his
charges.
Keller based his impeachment de-
mand on allegations that Daugherty
had exceeded and usurped power in
getting the Injunction against strik-
ing railroad shopmen; had failed TO
prosecute violators of federal statutes
and had shown favors to persons
convicted of offenses.

Millions of frayed and begrimed

The hatters of the nation were

TURKS AIDED BY
RUSSIANS SEEM

Petty War Changes Aspect and War Weary Nations
Seem on Verge of Being Thrown Into Another
Great World Struggle

London, Sept. 14.-Another great
war with Moslem hordes, backed by
millions of Bolsheviks, in arms
against Europe seemed but to await
its Sarajevo today.
Further advance of the victorious
forces of Mustapha KemaI towards
Constantinople, goal of the Turkish
nationalists, may be the signal for
declaration of war by Great Britain.
Russia has entered the conflict with
open support of the Turks.
The Dardanelles, Gateway of the
near east. over which nations nave
fought for centuries, promise to be
the touchstone of a fresh world con-
fligration if the Turks pursue their
ambitions without regard for allied
u!timatums.
In two brief weeks the situation
in the near east has changed from a
petty war of national aspirations in
Asia Minor to the actual verge Of a
great conflict involving war weary
nations OF Europe in a clash with the
ambitious millions Of the moslem
world.
The threat OF war, adihltleu mere
today TO be very real, stole upon Eu-
rope Unexpectedly.
Great Britain almost stunned today
to find ultimatums flying troops be-
ing rushed to block the path of Turks
headed for the straits and councils
of war under way
1t was reported that the Turks
have halted their advance upon Con-
stantinople. British guns are known

REPUBLICANS MEET TO MAKE
TARIFF COMPROMISE AGREEMENT
Try United Pressl

Washington, Sept. II. -Jolted
sharply by the unexpected action of
the House in ordering the tariff bill
returned to conference, Republican
conferees met again today to thresh
out an acceptable compromise agree
ment.
That the dye embargo would be
stricken out seemed certain, not only
because of the expressed desire of
the house but because of potential
antagoniSm which developed almost
overnight in the senate.
A group Of Republicans in the Sen
ate, headed by Senator Moses, New
Hampshire, have informed Chairman
McCumber, and other cOnfereeS, that
there is enough promised support in
the senate to defeat any provision
which seeks to limit in any way the
Importation Of dyes.
COnfereeS are said to have accept
ed the ultimatum as final, and will
leave out the embargo, but at the
same time, may bring in a report re-
commencing an increased duty on
dyes. based on American, rather than
foreign, valuation.
These new rates, one member of
the conference intimated, would be
sufficiently high to establish a vir-
tual embargo, as We're the duties in
the original senate bill
Members of the conference also
were expected to recede from their
demand that a l-2 cent q pound levy
be placed on potash. The powerful
farm bloc was literally up in arms"
over the rate, and strong group
has been organized TO fight to place
this article, essential to the farmer,
or the free list.
McCumber hopes he can have the
new report ready for submission to
the House tomorrow.
Unless an expected obstacle arises
at the last moment, leaders still fore
cast an adjournment of Congress
within ten days, believing still fore
cast an adjournment of Congress with

The six hundred odd railroad strik-
ers in this city are today simply
marking time awaiting definite or
ders to return to their former places

ment has been reached with number
of the big railroads News that the
men may soon return to work was
received with qualification in this
citv. not only by the strikers but by
the business interests in general.
The striking railroad men held q
meeting this morning which was more
largely attended than any since the
strike was launched July l. II. T
Colvin. former assistant commission
er of labor Of Virginia, addressed the
meeting.
The strikers received a telegram
from B NJ. Jewell today in which
he advised them to refrain from
going to work until they receive fur
ther instructions from !he national
headquarters. Inquiry made this af-
ternoon at the office of George R..
Buddin, this city. superintendent Of
the Washington division OF the South
ern Railway. was to the effect that
thus far that office was without def
mite instructions regarding the re-
turn of the men, although they may
secure something between now and
tomorrow it was stated.
The Southern Railroad IS one Of
the roads that has entered into the
agreement for the return Of the men.
At the Potomac Yards r. NJ Col

news from the Richmond. Fredericks-
burg and Potomac Railroad Company
is not in the agreement foI settle
ment.
Hope, however, is expressed that
some arrangement will be made
whereby the strikers NAV return to
their former places at these yards.
It is believed that probably by the
first of the week goodlv number Of
the strikers will be back at their
places and THINGS once more will ba
running smoothly.

Officials Asked to Evolve
Measure For This
Purpose
HOOVER HAS PLAN
President Determined That Country
Shall Not be Tied up Again With
Public Utility Strikes-For Peace
full Settlement.
(Dy United Prcss0

Washington, Sept. 14.-Plans to
prevent recurrence of the disastrous
coal and railroad strikes are being
formulated by the government.
President Harding is detG~mined
that the country shall not again SUI
fer from the Gripping influences of
great public utility strikes, and has
asked Secretary of Commerce Hoover,
Secretary of Labor Davis and Attor-
ney General Daugherty to evolve
measures for amicable adjustment Of
labor disputes.
Hoover already has a tentative
plan; it centers around almost COM
pulsory arbitration. it is understood
Davis is working out scheme of his
own Daueherty will develope the le-
gal phase of the composite plan that
finally will be selected by the presi-
dent.
While several administration Off
cials. including Davis, profess to see
in the partial railroad peace signed
in Chicago late yesterday, clearing OF
the last obstruction from the road to
prosperity, other cabinet members are
reServing judgment.
The latter point out that only about
80 per cent of the railroads Of the
country are in the peace agreement.
Until peace is restored on the balance
of the roads, or these roads build up
mal shop forces, it will be impos-
sible to meet the country's transpor-
.9ton requirements, they hold.
~ lhe view. &C sever" dmirjstra-
ti,n officials, the partial peace repre-
earts a defeat for the shop crafts
unions. The union leaders gave way
ON the three basic points involved. The
men involved in the peace settlement
are going back on the wage scale set
~, railroad labor board-agalnSt
which the strike was called.
There is no written assurance OF
unimpaired seniority rights, although
strike leaders claim these rights are
safeguarded. q,
The settlement is on sectional and
not a national basis.
Observers here believe the union
leaders vii be forced 20 abandon many
thousands of their men, in the face OF
assurances from Bert M9Jewell, mead
Of the unions, that +he strikers on the
roads not in the settlement, VIII be
supported until such time as they TOO
are back at work.
The baltimore plan" adopted at
CHICAGO. is designed to force the other
roads into line. 1t is assumed tha{ the
lines in the peace pact will be abe To
nrovide normal service. while the DE
bard" roads are struggling along WIN
imnaired shop forces.
The practical working out Of TINS
plan is doubted. Some of the i dleI
hard" roads probably will be iorceu

roads have built up efficient organIza!-
tions and therefore can go on hslr
