when matters that are now being
considered are finished ii is thought
that smooth sailing will be encoun
tered,
Various suggestions were made by
members and adopted by the club
relative to the placing Of posters in
the windows OF vacant business
houses, some to state that "Why Do
You Live in Glendale?" while still an
other will carry the words. IF You

Would Not Be Vacant
1t was brought up at this meeting
OF the club that some difficulty was
being encountered at Washington rel
ative to the recording of the deed TO
the poultry farm. 1t is stated that
this failure has been brought about
on account of the taxes not being
paid on the land for 1921 by the
former owner. The club voted to pay
the taxes and make adjustment later.
This being the best course to pursue
in order to settle everything in the
best manner.
The club has heartily endorsed the
movement Of the juvenile orchestra
giving concerts and will do all that
can be done as an organization to
make the plan success. In regard to
a Fourth OF July celebration, the club
refuses to back such an effort, giving
as their reason the condition of the
streets and the celebration that will
be held in Peoria.
Concert Postponed
The band concert that was to have
been given by the Glendale city band
was postponed from this evening to
some later date. The time was de-.
voted to regular practice instead. AS
soon as matters can be better ar
ranged the first concert will be an

penses Under the certificate plan

of $655 1891, $40 to 1943, when the GER
tificates would begin to fall due. e
Explaining the bill, Chairman Nc
Cumber said in his report that the
amount of the adjusted service credit
would be at the rate of 81 a day for
domestic service and SIPS for foreign
service, less the $50 bonus paid when
the veterans We're discharged from
the service
In no event, however, could the
total exceed $500 in the case of those
who had only domestic service and
1925 for those who had both domestic
and foreign service.
Loan Provision
The adjusted service certificates,
payable at the end of 20 years from
the date of issue or sooner upon death
would have a face value of 3.015 times
tae .otal amount of the adjusted SER
vice credit. Until January 1, 1926,
banks would be authorized to loan to
the veterans an amount equal TO SO
per cent of the adjusted service credit
plus interest at the rate OF 4la per
cent compounded annually from the
date of certificate. After January L,
1926, the government would make
loans on the certificate in varying
amounts according to the time ne
gotiated.
Chairman McCumber said In his
report that the committee had recon-
mended elimination of the reclama-
tion provision of the house bill for
three reasons.

OFFICIAL ORDER FOR STRIKE IS ISSUED TO
 NEARLY Y MILLION MEN
Anthracite Conference Of Committee of Eight AdjournS After Failure to Reach an Agreement Which Would Avert Strike
Ny Associated Press

New York. March 21.--Fsling to reach an agreement which would avert the general coal strike April 1, for which an order was issued from United Mine Workers head quarters in Indianapolis today, the anthracite miners and operators wage arbitration committee of eight tonight ended it's first conference hsre
 Members of the committee de- clined to say whether the session pointed to an early adjustment of wage scale differences. The day was devoted to maneuvering for po- sition and tests of strength" one member asserted.
 John l.. Lewis. president of tho United Mine Workers union, tonight declared that although the order to cease operation of the anthracite and bituminous mines is termed d "suspension,' 1t is, in reality, q strike.
 "The only difference in this ease Is that we will not begin paying strike benefits-not just yet" he said.
 we are determined to continue the strike until we have attained our goal We hope it will not be neces- sary to remain out more than few weeks, but are prepared 10 keep the mines closed indefinitely"
 Union men estimated that the pres ent reserves Of hard coal would be used up within seven weeks after the strike goes into effect. Fluctuations of the demand for soft coal prohibits an exact estimate of the present sup plies of bituminous coal on hand at all the mines. they said.

 Names of the defendants and the charges against them will not be made known until after the warrants for their arrest have been served.
 The actual number of persons in- dicted cannot be ascertained until after all have been arrested, as sew eral were made joint defendants in a single indictment. state official and a former state officer have been mentioned in connection with the In quiry in addition to score of promi- nent local men.
 Although in an initial draft of it's report the grand jury had gone at length into the bank cases, the re- port which was submitted to the court contained only the single sem tence under the head banking mat ters."
 Our work Is expressed in the in- dictments, but because of the legal complications that might arise 1t is demed best to make no comments or explanations regarding the same"
 The banking section of the report was rewritten three times before 1t was declared acceptable by the grand jury. In the first draft blame for the failure of the Bank of Commerce here last November was fixed in sensa- tional charges, but after 1t had been scrutinized by court officers it was understood to have been revamped.
 The third correction was necessi- tated only by clerical errors, it was understood.

Fumes Escaping From Gaso- line Engine Overcome Men Working in Engine House
 at White Mines

$. B. Sutherland is dead and Charles S. Lathram injured as result of in- haling poisonous gas from, the ex- haust fumes of gasoline' engine early yesterday morning. They were working in the engine room of the J. M. White mines near Irondale on the Montgomery highway Both live at Irondale.
 Lathram who was almost overcome by the flames said that he and Suther- land were in the engine room during Monday night. and that he decided to tack a nap during the latter part. When he awoke he said he found the door of the engine room closed and Sutherland sitting apparently asleep near the exhaust pipe. When he examined him he found that Suther- land was dead.
 With difficulty Lathram made his way out of the engine room and to the house of J. M. White which is not far away. Here he was given medi- cal attention and the body of Suther- land was removed to his home.
 Coroner ]. D. Russum conducted an examination and pronounced the death accidental. It is thought that with the door of the room closed the exhaust from the engine poisoned the air and caused Sutherland's death.

''SENSAT|ON" HAS
 SUDDENLY FLUKED
Succession of Formal Denials ,sof British-American Under
 standing Made
By Associated Press

Washington, March 21.-The z4- hour sensation over suggestions of secret British-American cooperative understanding" suddenly fhckereo out today in the Senate
 A succession of formal denials, eraanating from sources that ranged from the White House down, shower ed in upon opponents of the four power Pacific treaty as they were preparing to ask for formal inves- tigation and apparently put an enc to the whole incident.
 At the White House officials said flatly that no secret agreement of the character suggested existed. Secre- tary Hughes. in a letter read in the Senate. characterized the suggestion as absolutely false" Paul D. Cra- vath, the New York attorney whosa statement started the row. sent a telegram saying he had been inoor- rectly quoted and had no knowledge of any .'secret understanding"
 Senator Borah, republican, Idaho. who presented the Cravath statement to the Senate yesterday, contented himself with saying what he read was a stenographic transcript of Mir. Cra- yath's remarks and that the explana- tion now made would not be accepted in any court. Senator Johnson. re- publican, California, added that Mir. Cravath had best left to depart from the debate with a veracity shattered in several directions" No one rosa to defend the New York attorney and the discussion drifted to other issues of the treaty fight.
 The purpose of some of the 'irre- concilables' to make the incident the basis of fight to send the treaty back to committee apparently had been abandoned tonight. Some sena- tors indicated that they felt a mo- ton to recommit should be made as Iy predicted that such 8 step would bo taken before the ratification vote is reached on Friday. Administration leaders say they are certain to defeai the motion overwhelmingly.
 The White House denial was not communicated directly to the Senate although Senator Lodge. the republi- can leader and member of the American arms delegation, saw Presl- dent Harding before the Senate met It was Senator Lodge to whom the Cravath telegram and the letter oi Secretary Hughes was addressed bu, he presented them without comment
 Mir. Hughes wasted no words in denying the existence of any Secret notes or underst tandings' with any foreign power but he concluded his five sentence letter with a hope "tha, the American delegates will be saved further aspersions upon their vera city and honor." In the debate which followed there was not single ref erence to the letter or to the secre- tary.
