HARLING SPREADS
WORDS OF CHEER
BELIEVES NATION HAS PASSED
WORST PHASE OF AGRIcuL-
TURAL DIFFICULTIES
Letter From Chief Executive Read to
Farmers of Minnesota Contains
Words of Encouragement to
All TilIers of the Soil

Crookston, Minn.-The general in
dustrial and business situation now
Is such as to justify confidence that
I'VE are well past the worst phase Of
the agricultural crisis" declared Presi-
dent Harding, in letter read to farm
ers attending the annual Red River
valley farm crop and livestock show
here.
"The Improvement is well begun and
will continue steadily from this time
forward" said the letter, which was
addressed TO @. G.. Selvig, superintend-
ent of the Northwest School of Agri-
culture.
After expressing regret that he was
unable to deliver personally his mes
sage, President Harding's letter re-
ferred to the recent national agricul-
tural conference in Washington, and
continued:
II am glad to say that my utmost
antfcipations of useful results from
that gathering were more than real
lied.
1.-THE fine spirit of cooperation among
the farmers and the disposition on
their part to unite their efforts In
every possible way with those of the
government, augurs particularly well
for our hope of accomplishment. The
conference gave serious and thorough
consideration to the problems before
it and presented practicable propos-
ais for doing practical and worthwhile
things.
I'm the general industrial and bust
ness situation there is much to justify
confidence that we are well past the
worst phases of the agricultural crisis
that improvement is well begun and
that it viii continue steadily from this
time forward"

PRAISES WORKS
OF ARMS BODY
KING GEORGE PRAISES WORK
DONE BY RECENT GATHERING
HELD IN WASHINGTON
Declares World Owes Great Debt Of
Gratitude to Initiative of the
President of the United.
States for Achievements

London - King George Tuesday
warmly praised the work of the Wash
ington arms conference, "for which
the world owes great debt of graft
tude to the initiative of President
Harding" In his address at the OPEN
ing OF parliament.
Both houses of parliament convened
at noon, with number of pressing
problems facing the house Of COM
mons.
Inc 1mminence of a general cleo
tlon' which British tradition requires
some time before next fall, because
the present coalition government has
lived nearly its full term, made the
attacks of the opposition upon the
governments handling of the Egyp-
tan, Indian and Irish problems, as
well as Lloyd Georges European pol
Icy, more dangerous.
The chief business of Tuesday, how
ever, was listening to the kings
speech.
Referring to the four-power Pa
cific agreement, King George declaerd:
while the new treaty replaces the
Anglo-Japanese alliance, 1 am happy
to feel that those two countries will
semain as cordial as ever towards each
other under the arrangements con
cluded at the arms conference. At the
same time, our relations with the
United States enter into a new and
even closer phase of friendship"
King George referred to the arma-
ment limitations agreements as '.pro-
viding large measure of relief from
the burden of ornaments"
I'm this respect, as In others, great
results have been achieved" his ma
jesty declared, continuing: The sue
cess of the conference, for which the
world owes great debt of gratitude
to the initiative OF President Hard
ing, will be the happiest augury for
the future of international relations. !"
The problem of securing Preparations
from Germany is engaging the con-
tinuous attention of British ministers,
King George went on to say.
Discussions are proceeding with
France and Belgium with a view to
concluding agreements for common ac-
ton in the event of unprovided at
tack by Germany upon neighbor,"
he said.

Mt. Redoubt Shows Activities

Anchorage, Alaska-Clouds of steam
have been reported rising from Mount
Redoubt, eighty miles south of here on
Cook Inlet, by L. c. Grove, wireless
operator at Kenai. Mount Iliamma,
in the same district, has been emitting
smoke to greater or less degree for
several years, but this is said to be
the first time Redoubt has shown signs
of activity in eighteen years. Great
columns of steam have been reported
rising high in the air from the crater.

f.. ate In Person
Observation-Disclosures Harding will
go to the senate in person to submit
the armament treaties and open his
fight for their ratification, White House
officials said.
Harding's message, it is understood,
will feature the declaration that the
treaties involve no surrender of Amer
lean sovereignty. He will also as
sert that his campaign pledges relating
to world concord through conference
have been followed.
The president has been advised by
Senators Lodge and Underwood that
little opposition is expected to the
treaties in the senate, but it was de-
cfded he should present them person
ally to emphasize both to the senate
and the country the achievements of
the conference. @--
President Harding is putting the fin.
ishing touches on his treaty message,
most of which was compiled in his
office.
The exact time of his appearance
at the capitol will depend on when the
speech is finished and printed. .

try, the situation shapes I'D as fol-
lows: ntI
THE miners win vote probably
unanimously against accepting the
wage cuts proposed by operators.
"A counter-demand of a 20 per
cent wage INCREASE porbably will be
made. -
-Secretary Hoover has made pre-
llIEinary move looking to the preven-
lion OF a nationwide coal strike. and
ms move probably will be placed be-
fore the convention for action.
John L. Lewis, president of the
miners organization, has received re-
pies from virtually all the railroad
union presidents, to whom he proposed
y an offensive and defensive allinace of
rail and coal employees. -..
5-The railroad workers are willing
TO meet with the miners to discuss such
an alliance as Lewis proposes, but
lave not committed themselves to the
alliance.
There probably will be an often
sive alliance of the two classes of
workers in time to bring about Joint
coal and railroad workers strike.
Among the possibilities is one that
the miners will make no wage demands
whatever, but vest the scale commit
tee with full power to act In negotia-
ting with the operators. Such action.
taken, would be complete reversal
ar form for more than twenty years,
would upset to greater or less degree
rome of the operators plans and would
shift from labor to capital the respon-
'ability for making the first advance.
"The miners scale committee, con-
sisting of the presidents of all the dis
trict organizations and the three ma
tional officers, has been in session here
since last Tuesday formulating it's pro-
posals to the convention. These pro-
posals, which are the only business
scheduled to come before the conven-
tton, probably will be ready for pre-
sentation the first day of the meeting.
The advance of 20 per cent in wages,
proposed by memberssof the committee,
IL adopted, would place the bituminous
miners on an equal footing with the
anthracite workers, who recently voted
to make such a demand in their field.
Both anthracite and bitminous wage
agreements expire simultaneously this
year for the first time in many years,
and negotiations, therefore, win find
the miners presenting united front.

MURDERER OF SALT
LAKE MAN TAKEN
STREET CAR CONDUCTOR AND
MAID OF FAUS HOUSEHOLD
CHARGED WITH MURDER
Frank Miller, Is Being Sought BY The
Police and il is Believed That
He is the Man Who Fired
the Fatal Shot

Salt Lake-Gilbert L. Brighton, %
years of age, street car conductor, is
the murderer of Charles A. Faus.
This is the belief expressed by Chief
of Police Joseph E. Burbidge and Chief
of Detectives Riley NJ. Beckstead. The
police believe that Brighton will con-
fess to the murder as he did to par
ticipation in the attempted robbery. A
search is being made for the revolver
with which Mr.. Faus was killed. Brigh-
/, ton is held in the state prison and a
nationwide. search is being made for
Frank Miller, 35 years of age, who
Brighton says was the man who fired
the shot.
Chief Beckstead, who brought about
Brighton's arrest, said that Angelene
Wacaster, the maid who planned the
robbery, had confessed that when
Brighton came to the back door on
the night of the tragedy he wore his
army overcoat. The man who shot
Mr.. Faus had on an army overcoat.
The police say that there was no rea-
son why the men should change coats
while going from the back to the front.
Mrs. Faus stated that the taller of
the two bandits shot her husband.
Brighton is almost six feet in height.
Brighton said that his companion was
taller than he. The police say that
this is highly improbable and that
Brighton is the man who fred the
shot, according to their belief.
The maid admitted that she recog-
niZed Brighton's voice when he an
swered Mrs. Faus, although both men
were masked. Miss Wacaster said
that the man who spoke was the man
who fired the fatal shot. Although the
girl asserted that she did not think
Brighton was the guilty man, the po-
| lice say that they believe that she
knows that he is the murderer and
that she merely desires to shield him
as much as possible.
When Chief Beckstead asked the
girl why she had arranged the rob-
berry she said: II needed fifty dollars"
Brighton was arrested by Chief of
Detectives Riley NJ Beckstead and
Detectives Bert Seager, Dick Edding-
ton, Lester Wire and Jack Egbert. He
confessed at once to participation in
the holdup Friday night at the Faus
home. g...
He placed all the blame on the Wa
caster girl. He said that he had talk
ed to her on the streetcars and that
she had suggested that he get a COM
panion and rob the Faus home. He
declared that the girl had said that
Mrs. Faus kept large quantity of
jewelry and money in the house.
He said that he found a man who
agreed to take part in the holdup. He
declared that this companion, whose
name he gave as Frank Miller, was
the one who lost his nerve and fired
at Mr.. Faus. He asserted that he
knew this man only slightly and that
he had fled from the town,
Following his confession, Brighton
was rushed to the state prison for
safe keeping, as threats of a lynching
had reached the ears of the police.
Remarks made by Brighton the day
preceding his arrest came to the ears
of Chief Beckstead and led to his
arrest.

MILLIONS FACE POSSIBLE DEATH

And Human Flesh Being Eaten
London-Two hundred fifty thousand
children are starving in the Chuvash
region of eastern Russia to any moth
ing of half a million adults who have
lost all hope of help, according to a
telegram from the Russian famine re-
lief commission of the International
Federation of Trades Unions received
by Arthur Henderson, prominent labor
member of the house of comomns.
The telegram says 100000 work
ers and pheasants in all Russia are
starving and that thousands are dying
daily. The survivors are reduced to a
state of pitful weakness and their sup
plies of substitute bread, made of clay
and straw, are now exhausted, says
the message, which adds that the peo-
pie are threatened with utter destruc-
ton.
There are cases of mothers smooth
ering their children and of persons
deyouring human flesh occurring in the
Chuyash territory" the message reads.
