4 zA&e9Sy4| S$R1
Wsshiagton. d. c.. Oct 1l.-Inti-
nations that President Harding
viii SEEK . ssjbsa term in 1874
carried in spDafently inspired arti-
Giles by the Warrington Post, IN ad-
ministration organ, and In reeeat
statements Of Attorney -0enefal
Harry Daugherty, were OF partteu-
lar significance to Illinoisans heYe
this week.
Reports thst President Harding
would not be 4 candidate for re-
election circulated here have been
followed freAHsntly by mention Of
two lllinotsals ss possible Repphii-
can nominees. One Of these is for
mer Governor Frank o. Lowden,
whose friends assert that he would
be Z formidable candidate in sec
Ond attempt TO secure the nomina-
tion. The ether is Senator Medill
Mccormick, Who has been mention
ed among the younger crop Of pres
dental candidates.
The fact that Fred W. Upham,
treasurer of the Republican nation
al committee and an Illinoisan, was
in Washington and interviewed
President Harding at almost the
same time as the press statements
ON 4 second term appeared caused
comment among Illinois observers
As financial director of the neIt
Republican campaign, Upham will
WELD q large influence in party
councils. He Is known ~ . close
personal friend Of former Governor
Lpvdea.
While the chance for an Illinois
''favorite son" to again figure at 4
Republican convention is shadow
ed by the announcement from the
Harding camp, there are many vhe
/ believe that the chief executive viii
not be 4 candidate which would give
either Lowden or Mccormick
chance te<play their cards.
Senator Mckinley some time agl
DECLARED his conviction that Hard
ing would again be . candidate. The
opinion is strongly held here, how
ever, that Senster Mccormick har
! bors aspirations for the Republican
nomination in either 1924 or 1921
and will allow events of the mex
two years to guide his decision.
+ Vice President Ceolidge's speed

OF the congressional campaign il

CARNATIONS.
Secretary of Commerce Hove
was to have spoken last Wednes

to fill the engagement. Both secre
taries Wallace and Davis are pass
ing through Chicago in filling thei
itineraries but are net maxim
speeches within the state. \
| The speakerS' bureau of tn
Democratic national committee her
will send no more speakers into II
lin0is, it was stated. Senator Cara
way Of Arkansas has filled one en-
gagement in East st. Louis. An eli
fort has been made to block Jose
plus Daniels, former secretary q
the navy, for an Illinois address
but he has been unable to aceer
the invitation.
| Daniels spoke some years ago a

funds is assigned by Democrat
workers here as the reason why n
more speakers are to be sent int

FOUR PLANS FOR
RAILROAD MERGER
Outlined in Communication to Chamber
of Commerce by Secretary of As
sOciated Industries

The local Chamber of Commerce re-
ceived a communication this morning
from Laurence 4. Kelly secretary of
the Associated Industries of Vermont,
Burlington, in regard to the next meet
ing of the combined New England groups
interested in the proposed consolidation
of the New England railroads with the
western trunk lines. The meeting IS ex-
pected to be held at Boston. and at that
time data will be presented as to what
Vermont requires in the way of railroad
facilities and what plans would be detri-
mental to the welfare of Vermont in
dustry.
The Chamber has received a question
naire embodying four plans of consolida-
tion which will be discussed at the meet
ing. The first plan, advocated by Pro-
fessor Ripley of the interstate commerce
New England railroad corporation with
the combination of the Lehgh Valley and
the New England railroads, excepting the
Boston x Albany under lease to the New
York Central road.
Plan No. =. called the Bankers plan.
advocates that trunk lines outside cf
New England shall have point owner
ship and control over a unified New Eng
land system as separate consolidated
system representing the bankers and
security holders attitude.
The Local Control plan proposes a
plan similar to the Bankers plan except
that it urges one railroad system for
New England control by the New Eng
land roads and brings into ownership
the Canadian trunk line with the New
England trunk lines
The fourth plan, called the New Hamp-
shire plan, proposes consolidation of the
Boston & Maine. Maine Central. Bangor
& Aroostook and Rutland railroads into
what would be known as the, CONSOLIDATE
ed Lines of New England. leaving out
the Boston & Albany. affiliated with the
New York Central. and leaving the Cen
trail Vermont intact with the Grand
Trunk.
This QUESTIONABLE has been sent to
all chambers of commerce throughout
Vermont. as well as the rest of New Eng
land. and the various chambers are asked
to specify the plan most suitable TO them.
In addition, the chambers are asked to
specify any other plan which seems like
ly TO be for The best advantage of the
state

(Associated Press) Sheriff II. III.
Duvall and eight men are known to
have been killed and large number
wounded in fight at the Richland
Coal Co, 10 miles from WeIlsburg,
today The dead were brought here
and the wounded taken to Wheeling
hospitals. T. H. Duvall, who was at
the mine when the fight took place,
said:
There had been rumors for some
time that the mine was to be at
tackled because it had been operating
non-union men. The sheriff had a
detail of men at the mine.
Nothing happened until about
daybrcak, when firing began from
the top of the hill above the mine.
We replied and the sheriff ordered
his men to move up the hill They
responded, firing as they went.
THE mob kept shooting even after
we had broken their lines and they
were running over the HILL
There must have been 800 or
100 in the mob while Sheriff Duvall
had not more than about 20 men
with him. We succeeded in captur-
ing some Of the men in the party
nine | believe, and we brought them
here under guard
As soon as the extent of the fight
became known a call was sent to
Governor Morgan and the state po-
lice for help. Company A of the
state police was ordered to move
from Haywood, Va, to Wellsburg
without delay.

DIFFICULTY TO KEEP
TRACK MEN WORKING
Looking to Head of Maintenance-Of-W Way
Men for Settlement - Wreck of Sea-
board Fast Mail Reported In Georgia
Negro Porter Killed.

CHICAGO, July II (Associated Press)
-Peace negotiations in the railway
strike temporarily were at a standstill
today Rail heads and strike leaders ex
pected todays developments to indicate
more clearly the ultimate outcome, how
ever, with statements and circumstances
yariously pointing toward a spread Of
settlement.
Hope for a settlement at an early
date appeared to be based chiefly upon
the attitude of E. f. Cradle, president
of the maintenance of way employees
union, who came to Chicago today from
Washington. where he held a conference
with President Harding.
Possible extension of the strike was
forecast in the statement of William
Parker, head of the eastern chairmen of
railway workers. that local officials in
eastern centers were having increasing
difficulty in holding the maintenance Of
way men at their jobs.
