RAILROAD ORDERED
TO SHOW CONTRACT
Western Maryland Strikers
Win Point in Court Fight
Over Shop Workers.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated freSS.
BALTIMORE, Md, April S.-Judge
Rose. in the United States district
court, announced that he would order
the production in court of the con-
tracts between the Western Mary
land Railway Company and the Rick
son Construction and Repair Com
pany. for the repair and maintenance
of the company's equipment and the
operation of it's shops in Hagerstown.
He said he would then determine
whether the contract was a valid one.
This was the most important event
of the hearing on the application of
the railway and construction COM
panies for Il continuance of the re-
straining order, issued by Judge Rose
last week. forbidding the railroad
shop workers who are on strike at
Hagerstown the performance of any
illegal acts in connection with their
strike.
The contract was not produced yes
terday, but it probably will be next
Tuesday, when the hearing is con-
tinued.
The move for the production of the
contract was made by counsel for the
strikers. After stating that the de-
PENDANTS had never seen the contract
and had no knowledge whatever of
it's existence, and demanding proof
that such a contract was in existence
ty it's production in court, the answer
continues;
"Your respondents hereby respect
fully aver that they are advised and
verify believe that there is no con-
tract such as is therein alleged, and
that the alleged paper writing. if any,
therein referred to is only a subter-
fuge and unfair and uneGuitable
means, method or device whereby the
said plaintiffs are attempting to va
cate and unlawfully set aside certain
working and labor agreements be-
tween said plaintiffs and said de-
PENDANTS organizations, which said
agreements have been in force be-
tween said plaintiff and said de-
PENDANT organizations for long time
prior thereto"

Killing of Lawrence S. Saxty on
Bladensburg Road.

A verdict of accidental death was
given by coroner's jury yesterday
which conducted an inquest at the
morgue over the body of Lawrence
s. Saxty. who was fatally hurt Thurs

which he was riding struck the rear
end of another machine and swerved
against trolly pole in the middle of

1t was testified that two motor
trucks were on the road and that
a high-powered car that pulled in
between them to permit the car of
Frank Rishoff. in which Saxty was
riding, to pass was struck by the
litter car.
Members of the jury discussed the
question of reconm ending the re-
Inoval of the poles from the middle
of the roadway because of the number
of accidents on the road, but incor-
porated no recommendation in their
verdict.
Funeral services for Saxty will be
conducted at Deals undertaking es-
Establishment, S16 Fl street northeast

of the country and make bench as
signments. 1t provides also for as
signment by the Chief Justice of

Gus amendments for other judges and

Climax of Hearing.
The hearing before the Soroner's

ward Mercer, husband of the dead
woman, in Norfolk Saturday after

in Baltimore.
McE1ee also declared. the police
say. that hast Friday night he met
Mrs. Mercer. when she was at the St.
Helena training station searching for
her husband. and that he accompanied

''7he Arms Conference and
Its Significance. %
by CATHERINE EVERETT

certain ships in service or under con-
struction.
The aims of the conference were, as
stated in the words of Senator Lodge:
"' the Limitation Of arma-
ments, the termination of the Anglo
Japanese alliance, and aid to China
which would help her to secure real
independence"
The achievements of the conference
may be summarized according to the
following: A treaty has been made
by the United States, Great Britain,
France, Japan and Italy. limiting the
size of their navies and ending the
naval armament competitions; an
agreement has been completed by the
United States, Great Britain and ia
pan by which the Pacific questions
have been settled; the "open door"
policy was settled by consenting to
give China a square deal and canoe
to get on her feet again; the use of
submarines is to be limited. and poi
son gas is not to be used in time of
war; the zap dispute was settled that
zap belonged to Japan, but the United
States should have free access to it.
and Japan agreed to withdraw her
troops from Siberia when stable
government had been established.
The most important accomplish
ment from the standpoint of the
United States was the substitution Of
the four-power treaty for the Anglo
Japanese alliance. Before the confer
ence, war with Japan was considered
almost inevitable, but now it is i'm
probable if not impossible.
1t will always be a matter CT pride
to Americans that in this great crisis
our statesmen rose and did honor to
their country just as our boys did on
the battlefields. We followed the
golden rule, asking nothing Of other
nations that we were not willing to
do ourselves.
President Harding in his farewell
address to the delegates expressed the
opinion of the optimistic majority
when he said: 1.-The faith pligkted
here today will mark the beginning
of new and better epoch in human
progress"
THE END.

STATE CLUBS PLAN
PART IN CAMPAIGN
Republicans Laying Lines to
Aid Voting Here by Those
Entitled.

Active participation in the coming
congressional campaign was decided
upon by the executive committee of
the League of Republican State Clubs
at meeting last night in the Office of
the republican national committee in
the Munsey building. The leagues &C
tivities in aiding in the return of a
republican Congress will be devoted
principally to getting out the thou
sands of state voters living in Wash
ington.
That the league may lose no time
in getting started in it's campaign
work and that it may be carried on in
systematic manner William Tyler
Page, president, appointed Henry NJ.
Camp and Gus A. Schuldt to serve
draw up a definite program of action
and a tentative budget of expenses.
VIII Submit Budget.
This committee is expected to submit
its program and budget at the annual
meeting of the league to be held next
month, and according to expressions
last night by members of the executive
committee no time will be lost in en-
tering upon the actual campaign work.
Headquarters will be opened in the
downtown section Of the city, where at
all times there will be on hand persons
thoroughly prepared to explain the
registration and voting laws existing in
the various states, especially those per-
hitting registration and voting by mail

who made a speech at last nights meet
ing pointing out the necessity for prompt
action by the league in its support of
the party in the coming elections, that
there are more than 10000 persons liv-
ing in the District who are legally en-
ln1 TO nf a
en-, he said.
Need for Education.
There will be much need for edu-
cational work on the part Of the
league if it is to be successful in
getting out anywhere near the full
republican vote living here" Mr.. Camp
said. ITO do this in 4 practical and
Intelligent manner will necessitate a
careful compilation of the various
of the republicans in Washington who
are entitled to vote in their home
states. To accomplish these tasks it
will be necessary for the league mem
bers to get busy as carly as is pos
sible. 1t will also require funds. and
sufficient money to successfully carry
out the program to be adopted"
Will Prepare Digest.
Following Mr.. Camps Campaign
CALL" President Page appointed the
following committee to at once enter
upon the preparation of a digest of
the registration and election laws of

as doubtful states: Representative
William E. Andrews of Kansas, chair
man; Edward Martin, Harry Long of
Indiana, Arthur B. Fenton, Ohio, and
G. r. Swift of Michigan
It was the sense Of the meeting to
provide an elaborate program of en-
tertainment for the annual meeting of
the league, when officers for the COM
ing year will be elected. The follow
ing committee was named to plan for
this OCCASION: Henry M. Camp, Will
liam C. Conner and Gus A. Schuldt

tary of State, was elected chairman.
President Harding gave a short ad-
dress of welcome, after which Mr..
Hughes took the floor. He imme

When A Girl

"Yes. it is that. I make me some amateur theatricals,' giggled Rosa adding with elaborate coyness: 'I | make me a drama. And then along comes handsome hero, I have not | planned. He justs steps upon the | stage. He-how you say-volunteers. And now I think it would be nice if I could know my-fe1low actor. 1 like 1 should have presented to me form ally the man who has just been-hold- ing me so close in his strong arms" There was something in her tone so deliberately freighted with lure that I felt repelIed. I wondered hotly ie MT. Lacy would also be repelled, U. sI he could be taken in by Rosa's wan ton coquetry. In another second I real ized that Rosa had so antagonized n1s as indeed she has a gift for doing that didn't hold firm and fast to my perceptions. Ralph Lacy isn't the type to be swept from his moorings by any cheap little experimentalist in emotions
 He turned to Virginia. with a gall lant sweep of his arm. Both of them had an air of good fedk08s ship and un- derstanding, which made me proud that a friend of mine should show such fine discrimination and should have the power to appeal to Virginias discerning taste.

 Rosa didn't get it. Virginia did, as1 I saw when she swept-up and took MT. Lacy's hand and led him as if they were partners in g., minuet.
 Mrs. Rosa Cordova, on joking bent, introduce Sir Ralph Lacy, like wise intent.' Virginia 1ulled with a. comic opera swing.
 T am so glad to know-my hero,". dimpled Rosa
 The smile she sent. Ralph Lacy was dazzling-in intention, but not in effect. He bowed a!bslTrs1ly low, but the smile he sent out: as he jerk ed back to upds sht was equal parts for Virginia and me. | was proud I felt as pleased as if Neal had7 shown an amazing perception and-mag gni- ficent poise..
 "Now do be running up, and slip. ping into something a bit: warmer than-your. ruff1es. Mrs. Cordova. and then we'll have aa sextette, at our interrupted feast,'' ordered Pat.
