TRAIN BLOWN Up

Whitesville, W. Va, July 14-One

near Mordue, ran into dynamite
trap and was destroyed. The mine,
owned by the Mordue Galleries Com

lection of Federal court injunction
since June 1.
A gasoline truck, pushing three
trailer cars I'm a steep grade to the
mine on Big Elk run. opposite here,
picked up the miners at the foot of
the hill. The explosion blew the first
two trailers to pieces and badly dam
aged the one on which the IL miners
were seated.
A detachment of State police with

The latest Senatorial candidacy to
be brought to the front, is that of Ex-
Congressman Charles P. Coady. From
time TO time your cores pendent has
mentioned Mr.. Coady as a strong pos
sibility for the Democratic nominal
ton. but there was an apparent hes
itation on the part of those leaders
and others who were supposed to fav-
or his nomination, to push the mat
ter. Recently, however, there has been
a revival of the talk regarding the Ex-
Congressman from the third District,
and it was reported around town this
week, that the State and City leaders
were taking his into serious consider
alton as a candidate. 1t was also re-
ported that Senator Smith and his
supporters throughout the Countries,
were ready to back Mr.. Coady. pro-
vided Mr.. John ]. Mahon and the CITY
organization, would join with them in
such movement. Mr.. Mahon has init
mated that he is ready to do all in his
power to aid in securing the nominal
ton for Mr.. Coady. and it is now pos
Slble that there may be a combination
of the City and State forces in favor
of him Whether he will be willing TO
go into a fight with Mr. Norris in the
field is uncertain. for there is no doubt
but that the President of the Senate

the Country. These people have

which are today causing most of the

They do not understand our system

and they do not care to under

such manner, live to themselves to
such an extent, that not until the
third or fourth generation, will their
descendants become really and truly
Americanized, and fit for citizenship

hence, will still reman alien in all i'm

They are here, however, and the only

Over there is where I left nv

New Haven authorities who brought
her to the scene.
A taxicab driver helped dispose of
the child, she said. It's father was a
sailor and she came from Saugus to
New York to escape the disgrace
heaped upon her in her home town,
she said. arriving here late last Fri
day night.
Deciding to place the baby in an in

He then drove her to Coney Island,
she said. and carried her child in his
arms to the banks of Coney Island

CHANGES IN RUSSIA ARE.
 STUDIED BY U. s. AGENTS

Washington, March 2S-What is about to happen in Russia? And how will it affect American relations with the Soviet authorities?
 Those are two questions that are uppermost in the minds of diplomats here, and of leaders of thought in the Harding Administration.
 Some significant developments may be noted, as indicating the drift of things. Standing out in these passing developments there are these points that may be considered: 1-Following declaration of new economic policy by Lenine,- Govern rnout official sources have begun to hear that there is an actual trend from the communistic toward the capitalistic system of government. 2-One the strength of the Soviet assurances that the. shackles have been removed from private trading and property rights in some degree, and the fact that the requisition SyS- tenn has been modified to allow more incentive to the producers, there is seen in latest reports a desire to speed up production in Russia in some lines.
 Banks Are Opening.
 3-Banks are opening in Russia, stores that have been closed for years have reopened, there is more active bargaining among individuals, and there is less fear apparently that all a Russian makes or acquires will be taken to support the well-known Red army.
 Of course, officials here do not take at their face value the state ments made by Lenine, or his pro- nouncements contained in the lengthy statement of economy of policy which he promulgated.
 Nor do officials accept the word of those who control the Soviet press; for they have been shown to be grossly misleading and in the past apparently circulated for effect, or for propaganda, rather. than through a desire to disseminate news events truthfully.
 This Government is not depending, however, upon wild statements, or those that are clearly inspired. Its own agents are keeping the Govern ment informed of the trend of things in Russia. And the outlook is not so dubious as it was several months ago.
 The fact that Russia is one of tha

CONFERENCE HELD IN FAR EAST WAS
 NOT IMPORTANT

Moscow, March 2S.|The Congress of the Far East Peoples held here un- der the auspices of the Third Inter national was regarded as of minor i'm portance by all connected with it.
 Those attending it were for the most part students, the important leaders of various countries staying at home and sending word that 1t was useless to attend a conference when Russia was returning to a bourgeois organi- zatfcn.
 There was good deal of loose talk about war and revolution in the Far East but not of nature to con- vince the Russians present that 1t would nlaterialze.
 Many of the delegates were picked up right in Moscow and one Chinese socialist of prominence refused to at tend. Officially there were IA dele gates, 52 of whom were Koreans 16 Japanese, Az Chinese, 22 Mongolians, a Japanese and 2 Kalmucks.
 In principal the Third International promised to help the national move ments in the countries represented, so that such movem entS might later be diverted into MarxiSt labor move ments It is understood by the Third International that so far there is no real communist movements in China Japan pr Korea but nationalist agi- tation in <he sense that the revolution ists object to existing governments.

 Sue Until August
Elderly Husband Is Her Guardian Until She Becomes Twenty-One And Has Right To Make Her C o m e Home.

Latest developments in the matter of the separation of Jonathan God frey, elderly millionaire manufactur- CT, and his youthful wife, 'Estelle Nudge Godfrey, show that the latter will not be able to start proceedings for either separation and divorce until she reaches her majority in August. By an agreement which was made between MT. Godfrey and the Nudge family, prior to the nuptials, on August 20, 1919, the Bridgeporter became the legal guardian of his girl bride who had just become eighteen years of age.
 The reason for the compact is withheld by both MT: Godfrey and his wife and it appears that as her guar dian he can force her to return to his home. However, Mrs. Godfrey declares that she has no intention of returning to the Oaks either as his wife or his ward.''
 The deserted husband has nothing to say on the matter of the agree ment and states only that he hopes his youthful darling will return to his home as his wife. ''I have not given up hope and shall not" he states

1 big storehouses of the world, that her prosperity would at once help to lift the whole world out of the fnan- cial and commercial pool of despond l encourages the belief that the signs now noted are those of permanent change toward a more stable system | whereby other nations safely may deal with Russia and with Russians. These signs of change are not so pronounced that officials here are
 willing to hazard guess that
 Lenine,s plans, or the changes he has | effected, have the element of per ! manency.
 Russia's demand for American l goods, if met with cash or with credit that Americans would accept, would of itself largely solve some of homie troubles. It is recalled that Russia was not only one of the big. was one of the largest buyers of American goods.
 Buying From U. S.
 During the last fiscal year Russia OOO,0O0. It may be near that figure were we made indirectly" through Russian buyers stationed in neutral hagen, Stockholm and others Rus sian gold in vast amounts had been deposited to purchase food for Rus sians after the Soviets got control. Much or In1S meIa1 came to AI1eT1cd. The goods were consigned to buyers in the neutral countries. But the gold when it reached New York bore the mint stamp of the countries which accepted it, and under a Treasury ruling it was acceptable at American assay offices.
 High officials, discussing the Rus sian dilemma, assert that while they observe the trend toward the capi- taIistic system and the departure from things communistic, they still maintain that mature judgment can not be formed thus early as to the permanent effect upon world affairs of the recent events. With partial re- sumption at least of some of the pre- war ways of doing things in Russia, including freedom in private trading and partial release of the requisition yoke from the peasants back, of ficia1s here really hope for ultimate stabilization in Russia.
