IRlkE NEGOTTA TTONS KEPT IN DARK;
TARIFF BILL TO PASS NEXT SATURDAY
Soft Coal Strike
Settlement Holds
Out in, Final Bid

Cleveland, August 12.-Whether
an agreement providing for a part
settlement of the soft coal strike will
be reached at the conference here of
operators and miners hinged tonight,
apparently, on the opposite stands
taken as to arbitration of future con-
tracts by President John L. Lewis, of
the miners, and Michael Gallagher,
who had been designated as an ar
bitter for the operators.
Mr.. Lewis had declared his unal-
terable opposition to compulsory ar
bitration, which was favored by Mr..
Gallagher. All other questions of an
agreement were understood to have
been decided by them, including a
provision for re-establishing the
wages and working conditions that
prevailed when the strike began last
April l.
While the meeting of the joint
sub-scale committee of operators
and miners had adjourned until Mon
day it was learned that conference
in the meantime had been arranged
for the two leaders who had been en-
powered to agree on report that
would be submitted to the subcom-
mittee Monday, Only the question
of arbitration was said to be dis
agreed on by them.

Creeping Paralysis
Will Get Roads Is
Labor Heads Claim

Chicago August 12.-Asserting
that creeping paralysis will make it
impossible at the end Of sixty days
for the most willing train service
employees to keep traffic moving"
J. F. McGrath, vice prisedtn of the
railway employees department of
the American Federation of Labor
issued a statement tonight critics.
ing assertions of railway executives
that rolling stock is in safe condi-
ton.
He charged that the interstate
commerce commission has not made
public recent reports on the condi-
ton of railway equipment, but as
serted that commission members told
the president on July 2S that ''if the
strike was not settled within two
weeks the entire railroad structure
of the country would be threatened
with collapse because of impaired
equipment and lack of fuel.
That two weeks is about up" he
added. He asserted that facts in
the possession of the interstate COM
merce commission would startle the
country" and declared that railway
executives were circulating reports
that rolling stock was safe to preiu-
dice the public against train service
nien who are refusing to operate
equipment on the grounds that it is
dangerous to do SO.

FIR ANCE AMAZED
At BRITISH IDEA
ON REP PARAT|0NS
Learn Proposed Cut of
e-Third in Amount
to Be Paid

London, August 12,-The French
delegation to the conference on Ger
man aaffafrs Sina2ed to learn to-
day that the British government
proposes and insists upon a reduc-
ton of the German reparatlOns pay
ments to about one third the amounts
fixed by the London schedule of pay
ments for May 1921, that is, to cam
eel altogether the annual cash pay
ments of 2,OOO,OOO,OOO gold marks
and to leave only the 26 per cent as
sessment on German exports.
NJ. Poincare had doubts regarding
the Interpretation to be placed on this
article, and it was one of the points
referred by the premier to the COM
mittee of exports. Only at this aft
ernoon's sitting of the exports COM
mittee did NJ. DeLaspeyrye, the
French finance minister, obtain eX-
plantations from the British members
as to its full import. HIT is under
stood to have informed the commit
tee there was not the least chance of
the French government accepting
such an idea, or seriously consider
ing it.
Consequently the negotiations be-
tween the French and British are at
a standstill.
The Italian delegation shares the
French view completely. The Bel
gians less so because Belgian inter
ests in reparations are protected by
priorities.

SIMMONS REFUSES
QUASH INJUNCTION
UTILITY COMP ANY
Original Restraining Or
der Stands Until Final
Hearing
INJUNCTION CONTINUED
Rumored Headquarters
of Company May Be
Moved From Here

Judge Daniel Simmons. in Duval
circuit court yesterday overruled a
demurrer filed by the Southern Util-
tiles company through counsel direct
ed at the bill of complaint Of the city
of Palatka against the company
charging violation of its franchise
rights in charging more than ten
cents per kilowatt hour for electric
current, and also refused to grant a
motion to quash the temporary in
junction granted the city of Palatka
on July II, and perpetrated the re-
straining order within the discre-
tion of the court.
These motions were argued before
Judge Simmons yesterday in Jack
sonville by attorneys for the South
ern Utilities company, headed by
w. B. Craford, of Orlando, and the
city's interests were looked after by
7. B. Dowda, W. P. Dineer and J. J.
Cannon. The effect of the courts
decision will be that the Utilities
company cannot charge more than
ten cents per kilowatt hour for cleo
trio current unless it gives super
'cedaes bond guaranteeing cOnsum-
ers a return of all over that amount
in the event the final decision is that
the company has no right to charge
more than the amount specified in
the franchise. 1t is expected that
the case will be appealed to the ST.
preme court.
RumOr of Moving Offices.
There has been a persistent rumor
that the general offices Of the South
ern Utility company will move to
either Sanford or DeLand. No reason
for this removal is given in the ru-
more. General Manager A. W
Houston said, when asked, that both
Sanford and DeLand had made
tempting offers to the company to
move headquarters to their commu-
mites, but so far no definite steps to
this end have been taken. The COM
pany has no property in DeLand
which woud give it preference. in the
opinion of Mr.. Houston, as it is found
less embarrassing 10 locate the gen
eral headquarters where there are nc
company properties, especially ir

DIR. STUART COMES HOME TODAY FROM
 ANNUAL VACATION


 pr. George E. Stuart. pastor of the First Methodist church, will arrive in Birmingham today after being away for two months on his vacation. Dr. Stuart is just from the great Methodist assembly at Ocean Grove. x. |, where he was the principal speaker every day for week in the auditorium, which has a seating ca pac4ty Of 10000 persons. During his vacation pr. Stuart was scheduled to speak at the leading camp grounds and assemblies in America, Winona Lake, Ind, Lancaster. Ohio, Lake Junaluska, N. C., Binghamptor, N. Y., ocean Grove, N. J., and Ovoca, Tenn.
 He motored with his family through the east during the past two weeks stopping 1t Washington, Phila- deiphja, Atlantic City, and other points. Messages received from him state that he has enjoyed his va cation immensely and that he is re- turning with increased zeal and yigor tor his work this fall and winter.
 Dr. Stuart will preach twice Sun day, at 11:00 a. m. and 500 D. nj. The doors of the auditorium will be opened at 10.3C d. m and 7;00 D. m. Special music will be rendered by the choir, which has just been recent ly engaged for this fall and winter. believe the extreme penalty of the law should be exacted.
 Governor Kilby pointed out that one witness for the state testified that Mcdowell entered into an argu- ment and renewed it, thus indicat- ing that Mcdowell was not free from fault. He also set forth the fact that several witnesses for the defenda at testified that Mcdowell had in Ais hand piece of iron at the time he was shot.
 New Evidence
 The new evidence developed after the trial consisted of an affidavit made by E. B. Dunscomb to the ef- feet that K. c. Jones. witness for the state, made statement to him that Mcdowell had a steel pulley shaft key in his hand at the time of the killing, an affidavit of Mrs Par tine Coshatt that she overheard the conversation between Dunscomb and Jones and heard Jones tell Duns- comb that the deceased, Mcdowell, was in the act of striking Charlie Studemeyer at the time the shot was fred; and an affidavit of John M. Colmont. one or the jurors, that he voted for the death penalty but, under the evidence submitted at the trial and the evidence discovered af- ter the trial, he would not vote to impose the death penalty if the duty came to him again.
 After reviewing the evidence at the trial and the evidence discovered after the trial, Governor kflby said After a most careful consideration of the entire file I have become con- vinced that the penalty of death shoiild not he irnnosed mon the da- fendant. This conclusion has not been reached because of the above mentioned affidavlts, though they have received the consideration to which l think they are entitled, but mainly as a result of careful and earnest study and consideration of the testimony of witnesses at the trial of the case. That testimony does not justify the penalty of death"
