 there will be something like 1000 tariff rates in controversy
 May Tie in Conference
 There has been some gossip, re- ferred to several times in the Senate by democratic opponents of the bill, that the tariff would die in confer ence. Senator McCumber and other republican leaders hope, however, to get the measure out within a few weeks and obtain final action on it before Congress goes home before the fall election campaigns.
 Appointment of the Senate con ferees on the bill Is awaited with great interest at the capitol.
 With the tariff out of the way, the Senate next will be faced by the soldiers bonus bill.
 Befere agreeing today for a final vote, the Senate made rapid progress in the consideration of committee amendments to the supdries schedule. Only three fights developed, .revolv- ing around the 70 per cent ad va lorem duty on toys, which was ap- proved, and the duties on ivory tuslls and asbestos. Senator Wadsworth, New York. and New, Indiana. repub licans, led successful fight against the committee rate of 10 per cent on ivory, the Senate voting 34 to IF to place this commodity on the free list.

 A statement by MT. Gallagher and Mr Lewis said:
 I've are assembled for the purpose of negotiating, if possible, a new wage agreement between representa- tives of the United Mine Workers and the individual operating inter tsts represented in this meeting. The conference is in no sense what may be termed a four-state conference, and does not undertake to represent the operators of any particular state or district or any operating interests not represented herein. Its sole pur- pose is to promote a mutuality or understanding as between the op- orators participating and the repr9 sentatives of their employees.
 The question of whether sinsie state agreements between operators and miners might develop was said by union officials not to be settled by the joint statement from the sup scale committee.

United States Entry in Balloon Race Is Hampered by InquiSitive Natives.
 Bag Loses Gas
By Assnnintad Presn

Paris. August 12.-MaJor oscar Westover, American pilot. made forced leanding at Csoret- nek August z. in Hungary, when peasants seized the drag rope and in sisted on waiting for the county constable to pass on the legal aspects of the flight, according to the ac- count sent by the pilot tonight. He had descended from an altitude of 12,000 feet because of decreasing wind. His landing was made at s:85 a. m., last Monday. He said that when tLe wind died down at 12,000 feet altitude, the balloon was car ried off It's course and he imm eliate- ly descended to seek a lower level. He lowered the drag rope so as to obtain an. advantage in wind. After the rope had dragged about 800 yards with a good breeze, 1t was seized by peasants. After sufficient explana- tions, they allowed the balloon to proceed. Much gas had been lost and he was foraed to discharge his bal last in order to ascend.
 Balloon Stopped.
 
 obtaining a good breeze before the tail rope had left the ground, the balloon was stopped again by other peasants. Again, gas was lost and despite all appeals the balloon again was hold. Another series of explanations were repeated and fin ally. another start was made but with difficulty as the balloon was continuing to lose gas. The rope then left the ground but after trav- cling about half mile Major West over was forced to let 1t down again. This time, more peasants insisted on holding the balloon until the arrival of the local constable with his gendarmes. As the wind was freshen- ing Major Westover said he decided to end the flight.
 Following the forced landing and the arrival of the officials, Major Westoyer received courtesies and apologies. Everything was finally cleared ap and, with the assistance of all local officials, the balloon was housed and all customs clearances and other formalities arranged for. The authorities gave the American letter expressing regret for the cir cumstances.

Describing the changes that have taken place in constantinople since the war. Dorothy Kennard in the Harper's writes:
 At the present moment don't believe that there Is a nationality or a profession on the globe that is not represented by both sexes and sev- eral generations in the suburbs and purlieus of this city. The maelstrom of human traffic began to make itself noticeable just after we had passed under the shadow of the seven towers of Roumeli, Hissar, halfway down the Bosphorous. These, secure in mediaeval dignity, still frown serepely from out their cypress frame across to the minor forts of Anatoli Hissar on the Asiatic side of the straits. and gave me one more brief backward glimpse (such as I have sworn to deny myself) of what was once and can never be again.

MILLIONAIRE SUED BY YOUNG DANGER Woman Asks for $1, ,0O0, 900 as Heart Balm for Breach
 of Promise
By Associated Press

Saratoga. Springs, N. r., August 12.-Attorneys for Even Burrows Fontaine, dancer, asked Judge H. V. Borst today to compel attorneys for Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, son of Harry Payne Whitney. to accept service of a complaint in breach of promise action which, the lawyer, said, the dancer has brought against young Whitney.
 Motion of the defendants attorney, requesting delay until documentary evidence could be secured was grant ed, Judge Borst stating he would receive affidavits and other docu- ments at any time before Septem- Der g. Meantime, he said he would reserve decision on motion of Miss Fonttaine's counsel.
 Charles F'irestone, representing Miss FontaiDe, told reporters his client asks s1.oo0,o0o on the ground that young Whitney, after an al legged courtship lasting from May 25, 1919, to october 2S. 1920. prom ised on the latter date to marry her October 31, but failed to do so. Miss Fontaine. he said, is still willing to marry Whitney.
 Charges BIackmail.
 MT. Firestone, however, in present. ing his complaint produced written manuseript and handed it to Judge Borst, remarking "This is our com plaint." The action was character ized by James A. Leary appearing for the defendant as "blackmail plot"
 In an opposing motion, he re- quested the court to delay decision until opportunity could be given Whitney's attorneys to secure affi- davits from persons In Texas, where he said, Miss Fontaine formerly resided. Explaining his request, Mr Leary said that the affidavits were purported to show the reputati and method of living of Miss Fonttaine while she was in Texas, adding that he also desired to offer documentary proof that the dancer had been mar ried while there and that the mar riage had been annulled. MT. Fire stone said that the action was be- gun a year ago, but had not been made public because of the promi- hence of the defendant. Negotiations for settlement proving unavailing, he declared, it was decided to press prosecution.
