TRIES TO SLAYBA BIRTHDAY PARTY
Makes an Attempt on
Life of President MiIlerand.
Premier of France Also Subject
of Futile Killing Plot.

Paris, July 14.-An unsuccessful at
tempt was made today to assassinate
President Alexander Millerand of the
French republic and Premier Poin-
care.
The secretary of the Paris Society
of Anarchists was arrested charged
with the crime.
President Millerand and Premier
Poincare were returning from Long
champs to Paris by automobile when
the attempted murder took place.
The assassin, evidently knowing the
plans of the officials, had hidden him
self to await the arrival of the presi-
dent and premier. He was armed
with a revolver. While NJ. Millerand
and NJ Poincare escaped, one of the
bullets struck and wounded a woman.
The prisoner was very nervous when
arrested and the police attributed the
escape of the two officials to his
anxiety and the fact that the motor
car in which the premier and presi-
dent were riding, was travelling at a
rapid gait.
Immediately after his arrest. the an
archist was taken to the Paris police
prefecture and submitted to a long
examination to ascertain whether or
not others were involved in the muir
der plot.
Both NJ. Mil1erand and NJ. Poincare
took the situation coolIy.
The prisoner, Gustaye BouYet, "a.
told the police he did not mean to kill
M. Mil1erand and M. Poincare, "but
merely intended to make a hostile
demonstration"

Local Strike Situation Is Good,
Says F. w. Rausch.
Only a Question of Few Days
More, He Declares.
OTHER ORDERS OFFER HELP
Strikers Committee Discusses
Statement by w. d. Deveny.
Strike Settlement To Be, ON Ma
tiOnaI Basis, Is Claim.

THE local situation is good" F. w.
Rausch, publicity director of the
striking shop crafts. speaking for the
executive committee of the crafts, de-
clared today
so far we are counting the strike
as won, and we believe that it is only
a question of few more days"
The executive committee this morn
ing considered the reports of other
unions than the shop crafts preparin g
to go on strike, and authorized the
statement that so far as is known To-
cally none of the other organizations
have been asked by the shop crafts
to walk out in sympathy. but that
they have volunteered, of their own
grievances. The other organizations,
including the four brotherhoods of
trainmen. the maintenance of way
employees. the firemen and oilers.
have offered, again and again, to do
anything in their power to aid the
striking shop crafts. it was stated.
The statement this morning credit
ed to w. D. Deveny, shop superintend-
ent, that new men who are being
hired by the Santa Fe are assured
that their employment will be per-
manent, was also discussed by the
executive committee.
Discuss Deveny Statement.
Rausch, speaking for the commit
tee, declared that Deveny is mislead-
ing the new men with this statement.
When the strike is settled it will be
settled on a national basis. When it
is settled, these men who have been
assured of permanent employm ent
will simply be told that If the official
who did the assuring had his way,
their jobs would be permanent, but
that he has been overruied by the
men higher up. Neither the local Of
ficials of the road nor the local Of
ficers of the unions will have any
thing to say about the settlement of
the strike. 1t will be settled by the
railroad executives, and blythe highest
officers of the employees organization.
''As for this assurance being based
on the outlawing of the shop crafts.
Chairman Hooper, of the United States
railroad labor board, in a letter to
emphatically stated that the board had
not outlawed the shop crafts There
fore the assurance finds no basis
there"
About Aliens Letter.
The executive committee had dis
cussed the letter of Gov Henry ].
Allen to the officers Of the brother
hood at Herington, in which the gov
ernor stated that troops representing
law and order do not constitute a
menace to any community.
Troops do not constitute any men
ace, according to our belief" Rausch
said. but strikebreakers, who will not
go into a community without the pro-
lection of troops, do constitute such
a menace.
THE professional strikebreaker is a
moral coward and degenerate, and n
gunman and a thug. And he won't go
anywhere to work unless he is pro-
tected by troops. It is this element,
which is protected by the state troops,
that constitutes the menace.
That is the reason that the brother

Reject q. s. Arbitration.
Head of Miners Says Harding
Can't Bring Settlement.

Washington, July IA. - President
Harding considers that he has power
as chief executive of the United States
to operate coal mines in an emergency,
it was said today at the White House.
There was no statement, however,
as to whether the executive considers
the present such an emergency but the
existence of power in the governm ent
for the purpose has been definitely
determined in the minds of RESPONSE
BILE officials, it was indicated.
He'll Risk Impeachment.
About the only risk that a preside ent
could run in drastic action of the kind
involved in controlling coal mines to
get them operated would be that of
impeachment, a spokesman for the ad-
ministration said, and President Hard
ing, it was said. is willing to take the
risk If he considers it necessary to
serve the public welfare.
indianapolis, July 14-Bituminous
coal operators have not yet formed
their reply to President Harding s
proposal, but, according to A. NJ. Ogle,
president of the National Coal asso-
citation and chairman of the Bitumin-
Gus Coal Operators committee, it
should be accepted if it leads to a
reduction in wages in the coal indus
try and a corresponding lower price
for coal.''
Washington, July 14.-It became
definitely known today that John l..
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers, and other national officers
of the union who have been negotiat-
ing with the government since Presi-
dent Harding offered arbitration to
settle the coal strike, are preparing g
to recommend to their associates in
the union council that the govern
ment's plan be rejected.

SO, died today in a hospital at Herrin

HUERTA Is DELAYED AGAIN.
Mexican Finance Minister Didn't Re-
turn From n. Y. Per Schedule.
(By the Associated Pressl

Mexico City, July 14.-Official
sources have declined to comment on
the unexpected delay in the departure
from New York of Secretary of FL
nance De La Huerta, following his re-
cent conferences with the internation-
al bankers and oil men.
That his return was suddenly held
up is evidenced by the announcement
that the marriage of Hortensia Gales,
daughter of the secretary of the in
terror, and Fernando Torreblanca,
President Obregon's private secretary
set for the end of this week, has been
postponed because of De La Huerta's
inability to reach Mexico City in time.

CUSTER DECISION SATURDAY
Two Judges to Decide Mayor Cor.

WINE S case.
A decision in the custer suit brought
by the state against Mayor H. J. Cor
wine will be handed down by Judge
George H. Whitcomb and Judge
James A. Mcclure in the second di-
vision court room Saturday morning,
it was announced today.
The case was taken under advise
ment by the court Tuesday evening
and since that time the judges have
been going over the great mass of
evidence introduced by both sides,
an analyzing the law governing the
duties of mayors.
The Corwine case has been ex-
tremely hard for the average outsider
to dope" In some respects it seems
that the order of custer will be given,
while on the other hand certain law
and evidence make it unlikely that
such will be the decision. Which ever
way the case goes it is probable that
it will be appealed to the state su-
preme court
