 Session Today
By Associated Press

Washington, September 21.-Final touches were given in Congress to- day to last moment legislation and leaders predicted adjournment sine die tomorrow afternoon, releasing members for the election campaign until the prospective call by Presi- dent Harding for a special session about November 15.
 The deficiency appropriation bill tonight was the only important bill on the republican leaders program for passage before adjournment. This bill was passed today by the Senate, and after the eonferees re- port tomorrow the adjournment gavels are due to fall. The House res olution arranging for adjournment at two o'clock was given today by Chairman Warren of the appropria- tions committee to present to the Senate for adoption on completion of the deficiency bill.
 Senate leaders were prepared to defer adjournment an hour or two longer, if. necessary.
 Harding to Attend
 President Harding was expected to attend the closing hour of Con- gress to sign the deficiency mea- sure and other minor papers.
 Postponement of action on two other important bills before the Sem ate. the administration measure to loan s5,000,000 to Liberia and the Dyer anti-lynching bill, appeared to be certain Republican leaders said that opposition would prevent votes being reached on both bills.
 Opponents of the anti-lynching bili late today in the Senate won the first skirmish after one of the most involved and lively parliamen- tary snarls In years. They headed off for several hours speech by Senator Shortridge, republican, Cal ifornia. in favor of the Dyer mea- sure. Senator Harrison, democrat Mississippi. finally winning the floor for long speech over the pro- tests of Senator Shortridge and a dozen other republicans.
 Call For Quorum
 Calls for a quorum, roll calls, read ing of the stenographic record and numerous points of order figured in the maze which blocked Senator Shortridges address and caused him to inquire whether this is a Senate or an arena" Senators and crowded galleries burst into unrestraineJ laughter frequently during the mix up Senator Shortridge later dis cussed the lynching bill briefly and moved that it supplant the Liberian

UNDERWOOD MAKES FIGHT ON GERMAN
 DEBT COMMISSION
Senior Senator Conducts Un- successful Opposition to Bill Giving Germany Equality
 in Debt Negotiations
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The Age-Herald,
 5nO Dagidson Rt1iIfIfnr

Washington, September 21.-(Spe- ial.)-Senater Underwood of Ala bama- democratic leader, made hls last stand today against the deter imitation of President Harding to permit Germany to negotiate with the United States regarding the amount of money that country is due this for damages incident to the World war.
 The deficiency appropriation bill. ir the Senate contained a provision appropriating s200. 900 for payment of the commission to sit with Ger man commission. Senator Underwood attacked the provision, and with him stood the democrats, but the stand was futile.
 Senator Underwood contended that in the Versailles treaty and the separate peace pact, Germany ad- nyitted the right of the United States to seize German property. and by confiscation to repay itself for damages inflicted by Germany. In view of the German admission Sen- atcr Underwood declared that Ger many should not be consulted in the d,spositio n of German property. He urged the government to proceed as 2 nation which had conquered rather than one which questioned the com rleteness of it's victory.
 Claims Mount up
 Property held by the alien property custodian Is valued at less than s500,- 00o,000 claims filed with the state department by Americans against ti.is property amount to S1,000,000, 900. It is estimated that while these claims are excessive, justifiable claims will approximate the total value of German property held.
 Democrats severely criticize the President and the administration for having made no progress in the settlement of American claims. Ger many. as a matter of fact, has not even been made to pay for having sunk the Lusitaria.

POSSE SEARCHES
 WIDE AREA FOR
 IRONDALE NEGRO
Hundred Citizens Join in Hunt for Black Who Attempted to Attack White
 Girl

Officers from the sheriff's office, who, with posse of 100 men spent yesterday afternoon in securing the vicinity of Gate City and Irondale for a negro who attempted to at tack Miss Edna Turner, IT, of Ar tesian Springs, shortly after noon yesterday, stated last night that they had a good description of the negro and expected to capture him. Blood hounds were used in the chase and more than forty square miles were combed, according to the authorities. Citizens joined county and city forces in the man hunt.
 As soon as the young girl report ed the attempted attack to her parents, the news spread rapidly, and within half-hour 100 men, arm cd with weapons of all descriptions and sticks, had gathered around the TuI ner residence, and started in pur- suit of the negro, uder the leader shir of A. A. Gaddis, marshal of Irondale. Sheriff's forces and Chief of Police Fred H. McDuff arrived up- on the scene a short time later, and aided in the search
 AccOsted In Woods
 Miss Turner told the officers that she was taking short path to her residence through patch of woods between IrCndale and Gate City on her return trip from grocery store. when she was accosted by the negro. She declared that as she was walking along she notice the negro, and as she passed he grabbed her by the hand, demanding that she kiss him. Miss Turner told the officers they say, that the man pulled her up to him, although she fought herself free and ran away She said that the regro did not psirsue her, but ran in the opposite direction from which she was going.
 Other than heing badly frighten- ed, Miss Turner was injured from the experience, and soon recovered her composure.
 She described the negro 10 the of ficers as being ging coiored, Lot quite feet fall. wore a must- ache. slender build and was wearing cveralls, which she said appeared to have been freshly laundered.
 Threats Of violence, in the event that the negro was captured, were repeated many times. and the con- consus of opinion among those aid- ing in the search was that the negro would be violently dealt with by the erraged party of men in case of cap tnre. Officers said however, that every protection would be given the negro, in tho event of his capture, s.nd if necessary he would be removed to some other county to await trial.

Lord Curzon. the British foreign secretary, was In communication with Premier Lloyd George throughout ehe day and the French premier received notification late today of the decision to hold the troops at Shanak.
 The British government has been advised that the troops are in no danger of attack by the Kemallstss 1t is further stated that the British navy in cooperation with the land forces could withstand a strong at tack by the Turks. but If over whelmed by superior numbers, which is regarded as highly unlikely. the troops could be easily withdrawn to Gallipoli under cover of the naval guns.
 French Withdraw
 Meanwhile. according to dispatcaes from Constantinople, the French and Italian eontingents have been with drawn from the neutral zones. The British say they have the assurance of Premier Poineare himself that the Turks Will not attack, the premier declaring that the only danger was from Turkish irregulars.
 M. poincare, however, made a strong plea for the retirement of he British forces, on the ground that such a move would hasten peace and would calm the more warlike parry in the Angora government.
 A further decision of the British government. which will be formally announced tomorrow, Is that it's rep resentatiyes will go to the proposed conference with an open mind and will refuse to eoncede the Turkish Constantinopie in advance of the peace meeting. France had hoped for withdrawal of the British forces and tentative acceptance of the Turkish claims by Great Britain as Il preliminary to the conference.
 Tine British contend that If the Turks demands. were accepted imm4.. diately there would be no need of a conference. Complete accord between France and Great Brfain therefore
 is remote. Tomorr0w's session of th allied conference will fix the date and place for the conference and possibly draw up the agenda.
 Ferdid Bey, the nationalist repre- sentative in Paris, informed the As- sociated Press this evening that tha reply of the Angora government re- garding the conference probably would come within two or three days.
 Whether there is trouble in Asia Minor and an advance of our lorceh lGto our IlBntlul territory de- bends entirely on the good will of Great Britain said the Turkish en- voy. "If Great Britain gives us an indication that she will grant onr just demands for Thrace, Constanti- nople and Adrianople our forces will remain where they are pending the conference. If we do not get this assurance Turkey will be forced to make further sacrifices for her rights. We prefer to obtain our rights by diplomacy and peaceful methods, but may have to insist on them by other mcthods.y

 Work at Capacity
By Associated Press

Detroit, September 2l.-Henry Ford's industrial strike" came to an end tonight.
 At midnight his great automotive plants here. employing 10000 men, that were closed last Saturday as the manufacturers protest against what he termed excessive coal prices" again were in operation.
 The order for the reopening of the plants came today from Edsel Ford, son of the manufacturer and presi- dent of the Ford Motor company, who made arrangements in Cincinnati yesterday to obtain coal from % oper- ators. The reopenlng order was ap- proved by Henry Ford and official announcement followed.
 .Edsel Ford in his telegram copies of which were dispatched to every Ford assembling plant in the country, said the interstate commerce com missions latest order permitting the flow of fuel to automobile plants. previously put in the non n-essential class. made it possible to obtain q sufficient supply for the Ford enter prises.
 Routine Resumed
 It was announced at the executive offices the late night shift of work- CTS should report at midnight and that the usual routine would be re- sumed tomorrow. The Ford company, it was announced officially, work on capacity production schedule in an effort to catch up on accumulated orders.
 The reopening order today puts back on the pay rolls the more than TO- Q00 Ford workers in Detroit and the 30,000 others in assmbling plants throughout the country, and means reopening of scores of small machine shops and accessory concerns, whose sole or chief customer is Ford.
 These smaller concerns employ up- wards of f20.00O men,
 A feeling of relief was evidenced in Detroit's business and industrial world. The Ford closing put nearly half the districts workmen out of jobs.
 Detnils Lacking
 Details of the arrangements where by MT. Ford is Co obtain coal at what he terms "an honest price" were lacking here tonight. due to the absence of both Edsel and Henry Ford. The latter, soon after he ap- ! proved the reopening order of his son, departed for the south. Although authentic information was lacking the opinion was expressed at the company's offices that Mr.. Ford personally might visit the southern coal fields from which his coal supply is to come.
 The closing and subsequent re- opening are the two most important chapters in a verbal battle that has been waged by MT. Ford against the interstate commerce commission and certain coal brokers. Tn recent public statement the manufacturer charged the commission had played into the hands" of persons who de- sired to charge excessive coal prices, declaring this was accomplished through promulgation of priority orders.

 Kaiser Opposed by Members of Family

Doorn, September 21-The mar riage of former Kaiser William will occur not with the freely given con- sent of the entire Hohenzollern fam fly, as reported from Berlin, but da- spite their bitter opposition, and above all against the strongly ex- pressed wish of the Crown Prince. according to information secured from source very close to the for mer Kaiser.
 The relations between the Crown Prince and his father have lately become very estranged. it is stated. The Grown Prince over fortnight ago instead of staying at Doorn castle, installed himself at the Am erongen castle with Count Bentinck.
 The opposition on the part of she Crown Prince and other members of the imperial family, may be due, it is said, to financial reasons. rather than sentiments of pride or caste. Those in a position to know say that the former emperor's sons and espc- cially the Crown Prince, reduced to leading a very simple life by their fathers abdication. may fear that the marriage will make their situation worse. They also fear further com plications and contests in the event of the death of the Kaiser. when his personal fortune estimated at $2,000,- GOO must be divided

Washington, September 21.--Sug- gesticn in press dispatches that Great Britain would welcome the presence of the United States in the forthcom- ing conference on the problems of the Dardanelles, brought tho statement from administration officials today that possible American participation is being given no consideration in Washington.
 Since the United States, without having been consulted, was named in the treaty of Sevres as one of the na- tions to share in an international administration of the Dardanelles, suggestions for American particopa- tion in the proposed peace conference with the Angora government are not unexpected. It was emphasized to- day, however that whatever interest the United States may have in the ultimate disposition of the problem Is confined to the necessity that free passage for American ships through these waters be assured.
 Rear Admiral Bristol at Constanti- nople reported today that his efforts to arrive at a joint plan of relief for all refugees in smyrna with the Brit ish, Italian and French high commits sioneis had been developed.

 for Government
ByAssociated Press

Chicago, September 21.-Fate of the governments suit for a nation- wide injunction against the striking railroad shop workers will be an- nouneed at II a. m. Saturday by Fed eral Judge Wilkerson.
 In the meantime the temporary re- straining order which had been in effect since September 1 is contln- ued in force by order of the court. The order would have expired to- night at midnight.
 Attorney General Daugherty read the draft of the proposed injunction to the court, and after brief state ment in defense of the governme nt 8 right to enjoin the strikers brought the case to a close.
 The injunction bill differs but little from the restraining order It's terms have, In some cases, been made more binding and it's phrase ology clarified but, with one excep- tion 1t is as drastic as the order now in force.
 The outstanding modification Is a paragraph specifically asserting that nothing contained herein shall be continued to prohibit the use of it's funds CT moneys of any of said labor organizations for any lawful purpose and nothing contained In this order shall be construed to pro- hibit the expression of any opinion or argument not intended to aid or encourage the doing of any of the acts heretorfore enjoined or not cal culated to maintain or prolong a conspiracy to restrain interstate commerce or the transportation of the malls"
 froi irlf ffp the government also has added in the new bill an additional provis- lon that the application for pre- liminary injunction shall be contin- ued against all defendants who have been served with notices with the present one.
 Law Different
 The bill. Attorney General Daukh- erty told the court that this order does not question the right of man or any number of men to strike, bus it restrains them from unlawfuUy striking back
 "The law of this country" he con t.nued, "as applicable to cases Of th kind, where transportation and me carriage of the mails is involved, IS somewhat different from the law where so-called industrial disputes and strikes arc involved
 "The government of the United States must at all times be fair, but the government of the United States must at all times be firm. No free- dom of speech is interfered with by this order, unless it be that speech which incites the mob.
 "The order speaks for the last word oi the government and for so- ciety and civilization through that
