Assassins
Two Men Attempt to Slay
Noted German Editor
and Political Writer
Wounded Five Times.
Assailants Are Arrested

Berlin, July 3.-(By a. P)-Two
men attacked Maximilian Harden,
editor and political writer. near his
home in the Grunewald. a suburb OF
Berlin, today. He was taken uncon-
scious into the house, where he was
found to be suffering from five
wounds in the head.
The assailants were arrested.
The attempt on the life OF Maxi
milan Harden, one OF the most not
cd European publicists. comes just a
little more than a week after the as
sassination OF Walter Rathenau, the
German foreign secretary.
Herr Harden, in the course OF the
war. published many striking articles
in his newspaper, Die Zukunft, most
ly denouncing the policy OF the Ger
man government. He frequently
aroused the ire Of the imperial au-
thorities by his statements. and in
July, 1917, his publication was sup
pressed for the remainder of the war.
In one of his articles that attracted
much attention he eulogized Presi-
dent Wilson; in another he appealed
for German democracy.

Final Showdown
in Mine Strike
Expected Monday
Meeting at Washington Be.
tween Operators and Union
Leaders Adjourns Without
Settlement Being Reached

Washington, July 3.-The meeting
OF miners and operators of the union
lied bituminous coal fields. called by
the government in the hope OF reach
ing voluntary basis OF bargaining,
was adjourned today until Monday
morning, without definite progress
toward as agreement.
President Harding will be back in
Washington by Monday and show
down is expected at that time. 1t
is considered probable that arbitra-
ton by government commission
will be suggested if no other solution
is found by that time. Steps may
also be ordered to increase coal pro-
duction by reopening some Of the
mines now closed by the strike.
Reports were circulated that it had
been intended to place suggestions on
the part of the government before
the meeting today, but that the situ-
alton faced was so tense that delay
was decided upon. There has been
evidence of bad feeling between some
toward an agreement
of the operators and leaders of the
miners, which might have resulted in
an even more serious breach.
At today's meeting the operators
are reported to have submitted pro-
gram for regional wage conferences
which was rejected by the miners
with scant consideration, the leaders
of the workers reiterating their asser-
tions that they would agree to confer
only on the four-state or national
basis. The debate is said to have
been bitter at times, making it evj-
dent that government intervention
would be necessary, unless there was
distinct change of heart by one
side or the other.

Wife Of American Slain
by Mexican Bandits

Washington, July 3-Mrs. Thomas
Cheney, the Mexican-born wife OF
an American employed by an Amer
lean company operating in the Tam
pico oil region, was killed by Mexi-
can bandits June %, when she rec
ocnized their leader. according to
report today to the State department
from Consul Shaw at Tampico. AS
Mrs. Cheney, an American citizen by
marriage, the department made inn
mediate representations to the Mex
lean government recommending that
the murderer be apprehended and
punished.
The consul's message, dated June
so. said that about dozen armed
bandits who claimed to be followers
of Manuel Larrago, had appeared at
Chocoy station, about 40 miles south
west Of Tampico on the preceding
day. They demanded payment OF
1000 pesos. Mrs. Cheney, who recog-
nized the leader of the band, was
killed.
When the report was received in
Washington, the State department
asked Consul Shaw ior further in
formation as to the nationality of the
murdered woman. He replied in,-
mediately that she was Mexican
by birth, but had married an Ameri-
can employed by an American con-
cern in the Tampico region.
The department instructed Consul
Shaw, to make representation to the
T'ampico authorities urging the cap
ture and punishment of the murder
ers and at the same time sent similar
instructions to Charge Summerlm in
Mexico CITY.

Big Political
Upheaval Near
Among Germans
Different Factions Meet in
Berlin to Arrange for
Change in Government
of Nation.
Copyright, 1922.

Berlin. July 3.-Txecutive com-
mittees OF several political parties
are meeting at the reichstag yester-
day to arrange for a change in the
German government If a compro-
mise is reached it will probably in
clude the left wing, and will likely
result in upsetting the present cabi-
net, with the formation Of pure
socialistic government.
This expected political develop
ment is the result of the assassina-
ton of Walter Rathenau and the
present wave Of anti-monarchist pas
sion throughout the country.
The government coalition, which
is the minority coalition, officially
offered the independent socialists d
party government.
The independents answered with
a list of concessions, on which it is
reliably reported, is the place of for
eign minister for Rudolph Brett
scheid, who is the speaker of the in
dependents, clever and strong
leader, bitterly opposed to the gov
ernment. and who could have gained
the foreign ministry had he belonged
to the other party.
While the independents are COM
promising with the government they
are also dealing with the socialist
democrats which remains the biggest
Of the seven political parties. Nego-
tiations are under way for the ANAL
gamation of every socialist organiza-
ton with the federation of labor, in
the hope of becoming strong enough
to upset the coalition and establish
a socialist government. Such an
event would put Germany exactly
where it was after the kaiser's flight
Thus the assassination Of Walter
Rathenau has ended years OF hattie
with the left wing parties which. at
times, were more bitter than their
fight with the reactionaries. 1t is
apparent the radical elements are
in complete possession of the
leadership of the social democrats,
while the independents, frightened
by the growth of monarchism, are
now willing to deal with them.
Any success in the movement will
primarily affect Germany's relations
with the entente.
