Harding to Let
Strike w ait and
Get Coal Mined
Full Power Of Government
To Be Exerted to Avert
Famine, Regardless of
Whether Union Men Work
Spencer Made Controller
Governors of "a States to
Cooperate by Naming Of
fetal Fuel Commissions

From The Tribunes Washington Bureua
WASHINGTON, July 28.-President
Harding believes that sufficient coal
will be produced under present condi-
tions, despite the strike of miners, to
avoid any hardships, and for the time
being will keep hands off the situation
it was indicated to-day at the White
House. All efforts of the Administra-
tion continue to be bent in the direc-
tion of avoiding suffering this winter
in spite of the strike rather than at
tempting to settle the strike at this
time.
Appointment of Henry B. Spencer to
Dr.. Garfelds old place as Federal Coal
Administrator was announced by Sec
retary of Commerce Hoover Follow
ing is the announcement made by Sec
retary Hoover:
president Harding has appointed
Henry B. Spencer to act temporarily
as Federal Coal Administrator pend
ing development of the situation. He
becomes administrative member Of the
coal distribution committee.
"Mr. Spencer was formerly vice
president Of the Southern Railway,
general purchasing agent Of the Rail-
road Administration during the war,
and had charge Of national coal dis
tribution after the dissolution of the
old Fuel Administration.
Governors to Cooperate
"The governors of the following
states have undertaken to erect the
necessary administration to- control
profiteering and distribution of coal
within their states:
"Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,
Wisconsin, North Dakota, Minnesota,
Maine, Massachusetts,, New Hampshire,
Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York,
New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, Iowa, Oklahoma, Flor
ida, Kentucky, Tennessee and Louisi-
ana. Kansas already has an establish
mont under its Industrial Court. 1t is
not considered to establish coal con-
troll in the intermountain and Pacific
states, as they have supplies Of coal
and fuel oil.
"The following have SO far been
designated as members of the advisory
committee of operators from the pro-
ducing coal districts under the chair
manship of G. E. Bockus, of Virginia; !;
2. L; Douglass. Of Kentucky; George
Mahan, Of Tennessee, and w. j. Magee
and E. E. White, of West Virginia !;
also Messrs. c. E. Tuttle to advise as
to lake and Northwest movement, and
LIE Baron H. Willard to advise on bunk
er and tidewater movement"
The President decided to ignore the
comments of the Governor of Michigan
to the general effect that nothing was
being done at the White House with
view to settling the strike. The
rather obvious fact that there has
been tremendous activity in the White
House and by the Administration gem

Dowager Lady Essex,
Found Dead i'm London
House, Was Daughter of
the Late Beach Grant
Rei ggned as Belle
At Her Debut Here
Coroner to Inquire Into
Cause of Death, Though
Heart Attack Is Blamed
From The Trfbuue'S Europenr Rureou

From The Tribunes European Bureau
Copyright 1929, New York Tribune Inc
LONDON, July 28.--Circumstanccs
surrounding the death of the Dowager
Countess of Essex, who was Miss Adele
Grant, daughter of Beach Grant, of
New York, in her bath this morning
Will be the subject Of a coroner's in
vestigation.
The countess was found under the
water, apparently drowned, by maid
who became alarmed when her mistress
did not reappear from the bathroom.
Physicians were called and artificial
respiration tried without avail. There
were no marks on the body to suggest
that the countess stumbled and fell
unconscious, as did Sir Arthur Pear
son, who died under similar circum-
stances, and the theory is that she
had fatal heart attack.
The countess, who had been staying
at her town house IN Drook Street,
Mayfair, had been fulfilling her regu-
lar social engagements recently, and
did not appear indisposed yesterday
when she visited several friends and
dlned in the evening with the Hon.
Mrs. Rupert Beckett. 1t was recalled,
however, that she had complained of
feeling tired during the last day or
two.
Her husband, the Earl of Essex, was
found dead in bed at his Newmarket
home in September, 1915. He had been
i'll for some time.
The Dowager Lady Essex, daughter
of the late Mr. and Mrs. Beach Grant.
made her debut in society at one of the
Delmonico balls in 1888. She was the
acknowledged belle of the season,
though she shared her honors with
Miss Mary Langdon.
She was married to the seventh Earl
of Essex at Westminster in 1898. and
her marriage was the social event of
the season. She was one of the most
famous of American beauties who were
then playing prominent part in Lon
don and Continental society.
1t was the earl's second marriage,
and two daughters were born of the
union--Lady Iris Mary in 1896 and
Lady Joan Rachel in 1899. Viscount
Maiden succeeded to the Essex title at
the death of his father in 1916.
The countess was active in relief
work during the war She Headed the
Soldiers and Sailors Families Associa-
ton, was a member of the board of a
rescue home and the executive commit
tee of the Urban Council for War
Relief.
After the war she was reported en-
gagged to the Duke of Connaught, son
of the late Queen Victoria and uncle
of the reigning King George.

Any Heretofore known
Being Constructed, Lloyd
George Tells Churchmen
New Spirit Only Remedy
Next Conflict Will Imperil
Civilization, He Asserts;
Puts His Hope in League

LONDON, July % (By The Asso-
ciated Press )--"More terrible ma
chimes than any known in she late war
are being constructed" said Prime
Minister Lloyd George at luncheon
given by 800 PREPAYMENT Free Church
men to-day
"What for? To attack cities and
main, destroy and burn helpless
women and children. Keep your eyes
on what is happening. If the churches
Of Europe and America allow that to
fructify they had better close their
doors.
"We reduced our armaments and if
other nations follow the example,
there will be no serious menace to
peace. But it is difficult for a ma
tion to remain defenseless while
others are preparing for war"
Wars Come UnheraIded
Lloyd George said the next war, If
it came, would be war on civilization
itself. Speaking of the suddenness
with which wars came he said:
"The war germ, like any other germ
YOU do not know that you have it
until it has got you. 1t is of no use
arguing with an epileptic when the
fit is on him. There is that atmos-
phere in the world now and the ex-
plosive material is scattered over the
face of Europe.
"When a match is dropped it is too
late to wave the covenant Of the
League of Nations. 1t is the new
spirit that is wanted. Lock up the
explosives, and especially lock up
those given to dropping matches.
The churches must promote the new
spirit which is necessary"
Safety Depends on League
The Prime Minister said he attached
high hopes to the League of Nations.
He said civilization would be safe if
the league succeeded. If it failed,
civilization was doomed, he thought.
~ have seen the horrors OF war and
they made NE vow to concentrate my
remaining energy to making it impos-
sible for humanity again to pass
through the fire, the torment, the
cruelty, the horror and the squalor Of
war;" declared Lloyd George.
Regarding the drink question, he
said more drastic legislation had been
put through Parliament the last couple
of years than during the previous half
century.
