AGAINST FoUR.PowER PACT

Washington, April 13.-A thrust at
the four-power treaty during the SEN
ate debate today started short lived
patter of handclapping in the gallery.
The applause, quickly quieted by
the vice-president's gavel, came from
the women's section of the galleries
and was caused by a statement by
Senator King, democrat, Utah, that
the American people want an associ-
alton of nations for world peace and
"are not satisfied with the four-power
pact
ecent addresses by James M. Cox,
former presidential nominee, relating
to the league Of nations issue, were
the vehicle for the short furry de-
bate on foreign affairs. Senator Nc
Cormick, republican, Illinois, chal-
lenged the democrats to make the
league a campaign issue, declaring
only Senator Hepburn Of Texas on
the democratic side had shown his
willingness to follow Mr.. Cox. Both
Senator King and Senator Harrison
democrat, Mississippi, came to the
defense of their party records.

RUSSIA A BONE
OF CONTENTION
AT GENOA TODAY
Wild Rumors of Serious
Disagreement About
All That the Public Is
Told Concerning What
Is Going On Among
World Diplomats

Genoa. April 13.-(By the Associat-
ed Press. .)-While rumors OF sensa-
tional nature were flying thircKiy
around the conference circles today,
most of them being promptly dis
avowed. the one fact that appeared
to stand out in this somewhat cloud
ed atmosphere was that neither the
disarmament nor reparations ques-
tions would be brought up for spe-
cific action against the opposition or
France.
The disarmament discussion had
centered in the rumor that Prime
Minister Lloyd George would propose
military holiday for fixed time.
This was fatty disayowed this after
noon by members of the British dele
cation.
Other reports were that the Rus
slams and the Germans were prepar-
ing to leave the conference unless
reparations and disarmament were
made part of the agenda. These were
also officially denied
1t was pointed out that it was still
too early for any of the powers to quit
the conference on the ground that
the gathering was not developing
value to their interests, so the pro-
ceedings have not reached definite
enough stage to justify such action
for the various delegations, which
were thoroughly advised in advance
regarding the agenda.
The Russians and the Germans
meanwhile are both busily engaged in
trying to digest the report Of the Lon
don experts on Russia, and both are
becoming increasingly dissatisfied the
further they delve into it. 1t seems
improbable that the sub-commission
on Russian affairs will be able to
meet tomorrow as the Russians de-
clare they have not been able to as
similate such a comprehensive docu-
ment sufficiently in the time they
have had since it's presentation. Their
request for additional time, it is
thought, probable, is also inspired by
desire for fuller communication with
Moscow, Adolphe Joffre, Russian del.
egate, declared today that many de-
smands were absurd and designed to
put the Russian under a foreign yoke,
"the same as Turkey and China"
AS to the disarmament and repair
ations issues, it appeared clear that
the conference could not conceivably
entertain any resolutions relating di-
rectly to them unless they consented
to change in agenda. 1t is impossi-
Bile to prevent members of the confer
ence from doing discussion on repair
ations and disarmament, but mere dis
cussion Is not regarded as violation
OF the agenda, and all members are
pledged not to move consideration of
questions that have been barred.

CLAIM IS MADE
Mine WORKERS
MAKE PROGRESS

Indianapolis, April 13.-Continued
gains in the non-union coal fields
were claimed today by the United
Mine Workers of America for the ma
tion-wide suspension of work the
coal industry with the unions an
nouncement that 665, 900 miners are
now participating in the walkout.
Plans for pushing the movement
into nonunion fields, particularly CEN
tral Pennsylvania, were being consid-
tions that more union organizers
cred by union officials, with indica-
may be sent into these regions. For
NAL announcement of any decision
was unlikely, for the unions plan
has been to permit it's field forces to
appear unannounced at their work.
With the strike now nearing the
end of the second week, the new
figures on the number of idle men
showed an increase of $4,000 since
the opening of the suspension when
the union claimed 100000 partici-
pants. Of this number $4,000 recruits
have been added this week. union
officials asserting that most have
been obtained in central Pennsyl-
vania.
Except for the developments in
non-union fields, no change has yet
come in the general situation. In
union circles here, the opinion was
that the strike was settling down TO
a test of endurance and that any
changes will occur slowly

REIGN OF TERROR PREVAILSAT
HOMESTEAD AND FLORIDA CITY

Miami, April 13.-More than 100
men are under arms in the towns of
Homestead and Florida City, south
of Miami, as result of reign of
terror in that section the last ten
days during which time there have
been two incendiary fires, attempts
have been made to burn other build
ings and threatening blind letters
have been written to the authorities
of the two towns and to the officials
of a Homestead bank.
The officials of the two towns have
appealed to the federal as well as to
the county and state authorities and
investigations have been started in
the writer's of the threatening let

guards az the packing plants and
other institutions several policemen
have been detailed by the municipal
governments.

weeks ago when a general lockout
against about a dozen tomato pack
ers who went on strike was declared
by the four tomato packing plants
in the tow towns. Soon after this
one of the plants was burned,
though the firing of the plant has not
been traced to the locked out strik-
ers. A few nights later an attempt
was made to set fire to another pack
ing plant, but the guards fired ten
shots at the intruder and the plant
was saved. The intruder escaped.
Then the next night an attempt was
made to burn third plant.
The tomato packing plants are
working full capacity but under
armed guard day and night.
+, The threatening letters were ad-
dressed to the bank which financed
the packers, and to the authorities
of the towns. In one of these letters
the assertion was made that 1--WE are

IRON MOUNTAIN
TOP IS BOUGHT
BY EDWARD BOX

The Lake Wales Highlander tells
of the purchase of the top of famous
Iron Mountain, over at Mountain
Lake, by Edward Box, formerly ed
itor of the Ladies Home Journal. The
Highlander says:
Fourteen acres of land at the ex-
treme top of Iron Mountain, the high
est point in Florida, has been pur-
chased by Edward w. Box, of Phila-
delphia, for many years editor of The
Ladies Home Journal, who plans to
lay It off or a park and bird sanctu
ary Mr.. Box has told friends that
he expects to give w. IT, Olmstead,
the famous landscape architect carte

result in few years as certain to be

'Iron iountoin or the Mountain
Lake corporation property, is 324.9
feet high and Is, according to U. 6.
geological survey. the highest point
yet measured in Florida. II is said
to be the highest point within sixty
miles of the Atlantic or Gulf between
Orange Mountain, n. j., and the Rio
Grande river.
"Mr. Box, who is building a home
on another site az Mountain Lake, is
much taken with the view across
Mountain Lake and Peace River val
ley and marshes from the high point.
At the time of full moon recently Mr..
Box was charmed with one of Flor

time that the moon was rising in the
east. and at once opened negotiations
to. buy the hill top. Mr.. Box has
gone north but told friends before he
went something of his plans for a
park and wild bird sanctuary on
the, hilltop, which deserves fame be-
cause of its being the highest point

BIG POWDER EXPLOSION

Charleston, S. c., April 13.-Eight
hundred kegs of powder, stored in a
building quarter of mile south
west of the Charleston general ord
nance depot, ten miles from Charles
ton, exploded shortly before noon to-
day. So far as can be learned no
lives were lost. The cause of the
explosion is not known. The shock
of the blast was felt several miles
distant.
At 2:15 p. m. it was reported that
two negro workmen were killed in
the explosion. Many small houses
in the former quartermaster depot
section were wrecked by concussion,
boxcars and railroad trackage torn
up near the scene, and glass shat

WAGE QUESTION ONE THAT
IS FAR ABOVE THE LAW

Chicago, ILL.,, April 1S.An appeal to
the United States Railroad Labor
Board to forget the phrases and tech
nicalities of the laws and pay more at
tention to the humanitarian side in
deciding wages for railway employees
was made today by Frank P. Walsh in
closing the case of maintenance of
way workers.
Mr.. Walsh told the board that the
wage matter was one far above the
law and which actually went down in
to the deepest moral questions, the
structure of society and even to fun
damental religion.
He declared that regardless of the
law the men must have living wage.
Previously E. F. Cradle, president
of the maintenance of way union,
asked the board not only to disregard
the roads pleas for lower pay, but to
raise the pay of the men so that they
could live decently."
