Officer, Who Accidentally
Killed Another, Acquitted
Boer War Veterans Pistol Was
discharged While Being
Returned to Holster

Robert F. Purcell, OF Rochester. a.
frst lieutenant in the United States
Air Service, was acquitted yesterday
of charge of manslaughter by gen
eral court martial at Mitchell Field,
Mineola. He accidently shot and killed
First Lieutenant John p Roullot, Of
the Air Service, while unloading re-
volver on the pistol range at the avia-
ton camp on July 21.
The court announced It's decision
without leaving the room. Contrary
to custom the board did not await
approval of its verdict from corps head
quarters.
Lieutenant Purcell, who is forty five
years old and veteran Of the Boer
war, listened to the verdict and walked
away, gazing fxedly out the window
before he trusted himself to thank the
court.
The lieutenant's explanation of the
accident, which was corroborated by all
witnesses, was that the pistol had been
discharged accidently while Purcell
was attempting to extract its one she'll
before returning it to his holster,

PORTLAND, Me-, July 31.-Word
that the Arctic expedition headed by
Donald B. Macmillan spent the winter

restrial magnetism, was received here
to-day. A letter to George F. Carey,
treasurer Of the Macmillan Arctic AS
ISOLATION, from Assistant Director
John A. Fleming, Of the Carnegie In
stitute, quoted radiogram from G.
Dawson Howell, Of Boston, MacMil-

The radiogram, dated July 27, said:
"Wintered southwestern Baffinland.
Observations successful. Operation
beginning November. Sixteen field
stations. No polar light photography.
Hope to secure some in Labrador. Can

Cape Dorset is on the southwestern
coast of Baffinland and at the upper
end of Hudson Strait. When the ex-
petition sailed it was MacMillan's in
tention to return some time this year.
The last previous message, received
six months ago, reported the arrival in

he said, 'for this is not due entirely
to the dereliction Of the party in

There is more power to-day exer-
cised in these marble sarcophagi by

ganda, than by the courts themselves.
The cost has become unbearable. It
has been said thai there are 100000

that is true there is an offlceholder,
tax eater, on the back of every two

Shopnaes. Sure of Peace
With Seniority Saved
Leaders Congregating in Chi
cago Confident That FlsU
Rights VIII He Restored

CHICAGO, July S1--Leaders Of the
striking railway shopmen arriving hero
tonight for to-morrows meeting, called
to consider President Earding's peace
proposals insisted, despite all reports
would restore their full seniority rights
TO the strikers.
"The men will 60 back TO the exact
positions on both seniority lists and
pension rolls they occupied before the
walk-out on July l." declared the presi-
dent Of one of the unions, who declined
to permit the use Of his name.
All expressed belief that the terms Of
the Presidents plan would be ratified
b. the union leaders--the ninety men
composing the policy committee Of the
Federation of Labor. These represent
the six shop craft unions now on strike
under the leadership Of Bert 81. Jewell.
The meeting of the strike leaders
will open about the same hour the 149
railway presidents will open their
meeting in New York, to act on the
same proposals looking toward q set
Element of the strike. Among the
union men tonight, tho belief was ex-
pressed that the Presidents plan would
meet the greatest opposition from "a
minority Of the railway executives, but
they were firm in their conviction that
it finally would carry and that the
strikers would be back to work before
the end of the week.
The Southern Pacific Company,
through its general manager, J. H.
Dyer, announced 1t will not accept any
plan to end the present shipments

Five Points in Harding Plan ON Which Strike May Be

hearing on the matter by the board
Farming out of shop work by
the railroads will be discontinued.
Discussion of che establishment
Of adjustment boards.
Regarding the matter Of adjustmen
boards, the official said that the unions
desired national board of adjustment
while the railroad executives sought
either regional or system boards.
Three points will be stressed by the
general chairmen tomorrow, it was
said, as basis for settlement--restora
ton of full seniority, national boards
of adjustment and elimination Of
farming, out of work. They will op-
pose, it was said, curtailment of Sc
niority, agreement to accept in the
future decisions of the board and other
than national board of adjustment.
1t was said that the matter of &C
cepting the proposals of President
Harding was entirely up to the policy
committee of the railroad department
of the American Federation Of Labor,
since this body was the one which
sanctioned the strike of the shopmen.
The policy committee is composed Of
ninety men, thirty from each Of three
districts. the dividing lines of which
are the Mississippi River and Mason
and DiXons line.

Another 100000 Miners
Held adequate for Relief
y. S. Chamber Of Commerce
Estimates Number Needed
to Fill N0tion's Demands

WASHINGTON, July 31.-Addition of
100000 men "of equal producing eff
ciency' to those now mining coal
would insure supply Of coal adequate
for the country's needs, according to
report made public to-day by the coal
bureau of the Chamber of Commerce
Of the United States
The bureau based it's calculation on
the production by $4,000 men-the
number said by the Department of
Labor to be at work in the mines-of
something over 100000 tons in the
week preceding the railway shipments
strike.
There are positive indications, the
bureau said, that Certain industries
in various parts of the country have
reached and end of the bitumino Gus re-
sources A development of the strike
which has caused much concern, the
report declared, was the interruption
of coal delivery at Lake Erie ports
for shipment to the northwest.

but no statement was made as to con-
illusions reached by the conferees.
In Cleveland, it is understood. a meet
ing Is to be held next Monday looking
to the settlement Of the strike in Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana.
Success of Farley Questioned
How extensive such q partial settle
ment Of the miners strike would be.
or whether such a conference, lacking
considerable number Of employers
OF larger forces Of miners, would be
successful at all, remained question
able in official and semi official view.
Ever since the strike began some
operators have expressed willingness
to negotiate with John l.. Lewis, presi-
dent Of the United Mine Workers, and
the scale committees of the union.
The controlling majority in most
operators associations has been I'M
willing, however, 70 concede the unions
demand for semi-national wage scale,
made up by joint action of the en-
ployers and employees in the four
states named, and also have been un-
willing to concede the wage scale of
1920, with its $3.50 daily wage base
for common labor underground
Soaring prices Of coal, due to short
age, are said to have made the higher
wage scale acceptable, at least while
the market lasts, although heads of
the larger mining enterprises outside
Of Ohio insist that settlement giving
the men the wartime scales again
would allow only a few months OF
operation, followed by shutdowns, be-
cause the non-union coal would throw
the output bearing higher overhead
cost out Of the markets.
Ohio Nucleus of Group
Ohio coal operators associations are
said to have been made a nucleus about
which Mr.. Lewis was forming an inter
state group with whom he would soon
attempt to negotiate q wage scale.
II was declared to-day in informed
circles that a representation of opera
Ohio in the conference proposed would
be so small as to leave it "a rump at
fair" There were also fears that j
