WESTERN MEMBERS
in CONGRESS REBEL
OVER ship SUBSIDY
Fear Presidents Plan
Will Hurt Them in
Elections.

Congress was in rebellious
mood last night over President
Harding's insistence that the ship
sion and the assurance given by
Republican leaders that they will
try to carry out his wishes.
Republican Senators and Con-
gressmen from the interior States
were showing signs of open revolt.
They are afraid of the subsidy
bill-afraid of 1t for the effect it
might have on this falls Congress
sional elections.
Believe Senate Insincere.
Many of the Midwest members
believe the subsidy should be put
through, and under ordinary condi-
tions they would stand ready to
vote for 1t. But they point out
that the proposition of giving the
ocean shippers s30.000.00 or s40,-
100000 in aid each year finds few
friends in such states as Ohio,
Iowa, Kansas and Missouri during
a campaign, and for that reason
they believe that in political fair
ness" the administration should
agree to shelving the shipping
measure until the next session.
The House is particularly riled
over the attempt that will be made
to jam the subsidy bill through
now. Members of the lower branch
openly charge that the Senate has
mo- honest intention of acting on
the measure until after November,
but wants the House to pass 1t TO
encourage the shipping interests"
The word House members are send
ing over to the Senate is that I'VE
are UP for reelection, too"

TRANSPORTATION BLOCKADE SITUATION CLEARS
 WITH RAIL TRUCE IN SIGHT

tors, today prepared to resume their conference with a delegation of ex- ecutives representing 148 roads in the hope of effecting a basis upon wide strike of shop crafts called a1- most seven weeks ago.
 For more than four hours yesrer- day the labor men and railroad presi- dents debated the ground upon which the walkout must end, without suc- cess.
 Labor men. after the conference, expressed belief that progress had been made toward a favorable settle ment. but one executive ventured the opinion that at the hour of adjourn ment, agreement was still far dis tant- The official communique merely stated that no conclusion had been reached.
 Seniority Remains Issue.
 While official information as rc what developed at the conference was lacking, the understanding was that debate had ~Scentered on the question of seniority. This apparently was in sending for decisions of the rail- road labor board on the question o1 seniority in other railroad strikes. Representati of stationary work CTS, assembled in an uptown hotel watching the progress of the par1eys Association of Railway Executives made it plain in informal comm en1 that they regarded it essential thaa the roads take the strikers back. witE seniority uninpaired.
 They contended that many bad or der cars now were piling up, that tht roads, called upon to transport vas quantities of coal before the winter months, would need great numbers O. | extra shoipmen to speed up repairs.

ward-looktng' folk as she has chosen Just about the most modern subjects one could find in the suniveraity's abundant curriculum.
 The conclusion of the six weeks course will not find Mrs.s Crawford satisfied that she has mastered the subjects she is pursuing here, because she intends using the instruction as a basis for extensive reading when she goes back to her home in the South. Her knowledge of history her grasp of philosophy and her thorough ac- quaintance with contemporary affairs convince her that a new social and industrial order is arising out of the struggles of capital and labor.
 Word for GIappers. In the nations gradual and steady progress toward the fulhllment of it's democratic ideals, she maintains, social and economic ideas considered chimerieal when she was young are becoming commonplace now.

'12 KNOWN DEAD
 IN FOREST FIRES, at
 RAGING IN MIN,

Duluth, Minn., Aug. 1s.-Fears that the death toll from the forest fires raging in northern Minnesota would go beyond the reported total of 12 when additional advices were re- ceieved today from the flame swept areas, were expressed by scores of refugees who were arriving hourly from all sections of the. northwoods.
 Four hundred Minnesota national guardsmen under command of Adju- tant General Rhinow, continued to- day the work of succoring the refug- ees. More than 2,000 forest rangers, settlers and others redoubled their eff ;sforts in fighting the flames, which already have destroyed three small towns, Cotton, Central Lakes and White Face.
 The fate of a score of other tiny settlements scattered over St. Louis and Lake Counties hung on the wealth CT today. Only rain or a calm could save these places. Terrific winds were the chief enemies of the fire fighters yesterday.
 New fires were reported early to- day in several sections, including one at Cronigen, eight miles northeast 5 of Hinckley and another at Deerwood
 Last night and today all main roads leading to Duluth. Eve1eth and other northern villages were crowded with fleeing women and children.

ELEPHANT REFUSED TO WORK; CURED BY
 INDIAN MAHOUT
No More Will The "Little
 One' Refuse To Garry Children Around On Its
Back.

London, Aug. 18.-A big female In dian elephant that went on strike at the Zoo last spring and refused to do what all big elephants at the Zoo are required to do-earn money by carry ing children around on her back has been cured of the sulks and lazi- ness by the seeming magic treatment of an Indian mahout.
 She was presented to the Zoo by the Maharajah of Cooch Behar two years ago. She had been well trained and acted at all times like a sensible, well-behaved elephant and obeyed or ders propertly. She developed no vices beyond that of picking pockets for edible dainties. But every ele- phant that has any sense at all learns to do that in the Zoo
 Then she took it into her big head that she would not submit to being bossed auy longer. She declined to that had been fixed up for the con venience of juvenile elephant riders. When the old wooden steps were sub- stituted for the new ones she proved clined to leave the elephant yard at all.
 As the elephant is a fine animal, and quite good tempered, it was de- c1ded to obtain mahout from India. He was cabled for, and arrived in due | course. He was taken to the elephant | house. He at once entered the en- closure and formally saluted the ami | | then at l1er tail. Next he took off his | shoes and knoted a rope loosely
 round the elephants neck, which he afterward used as a kind of stirrup. l. With little difficulty he persuade e6 her to kneel and mounted ner neck
 In less than two minutes, soothing
 batting, and talking voIubly to her il Hindustani, he had got on good term
 with the animal Then be took he
 round to the elephant ride, and ap , parently had her in complete control
 Phrases of his admonitions, freel
 translated, were as follows: q an told that you eat your food, and vii
 not work; it is wrong; Allah enjoin
 on us all that We must work if W
 would eat. You are cheating you masters, and it is unworthy of you am only a black man, and you mus not mind me. Put fear out of you mind; take it up from your heart, an throw it out.s'
 The elephant certainly seemed t , understand. and now obeys every or der. The mahout was given quarter
 in another part of the gardens but h
 obtained leave to sleep in the e1e phant house, as he says that h I wishes to talk to the elephant durin the night. He has not yet tried t ] saddle her, as he wants to take thine I slowly, but he is confident that h 8 will conquer all her fears and mak y her apparently obedient
