EUGENE SANDERS
TAKES OWN LIFE

The city was shocked this morning
when it was learned that Mr.. E. E.
Sanders had committed suicide by
shooting himself in the head. He arose
from the breakfast table and shortly
afterwards the family was startled to
hear the report of gun. Entering
the room to which he had gone, they
found him lying with bullet through
his brain. No motive has been found
for the rash act and many hearts are
saddencd by reason of his untimely
ceath. He was about 40 years of age
and was held IN high esteem by all
who knew him.
He is survived by his wife and two
children, his mother, five brothers and
three sisters.

Idustrial Tone
More Reassuring

Washington, Aug. z. - Despite the
coal and rail strikes, there is a
strong undercurrent throughout the
country in the direction of industrial
recovery, the department Of labor an
nounced today, in an analysis of bust
ness conditions for the month ending
July 81. An optimis opinion pre-
walls, the statement added, that with
the settlement of the two major con-
troversies the country will experience
a rapid advance in industrial pros
perity.
Evidence to support this opinion,
the department said, was found in de-
cided increases of employment in 10
Of ID basic industries. Decreases of
employment in liquor and beverage
pianta and the tobacco industry We're
said to have been negligible.
The survey indicates that the rail
road repair shops of the country re-
corded the heaviest decreases in labor
employment. Employment in the tex
tile industry continued to improve, it
was asserted
In many sections Of the country
building operations were said to bc
reflected in the employment increases
in the lumber industry. The building
boom continues unabated, it was as
serted.
Forty-four cities out of 65 covered
by the industrial analysis reported
employment increases for the month

Cotton Prices Worry

York, Aug. York farmers who
have been holding their cotton for
25c a pound are much disconnected
at the persistent downward trend of
the market during the past week.
While many parted with their cotton
at % and % cents, quite a number
held on in the expectation that the
price would continue to improve.
The latter are now fearful that they
have "gotten left" but still have some
hope that the widespread weevil ac-
tivity will sooner or later react on the
price of the staple.

Doolittle Hopes to try it Again

Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. 7.-Lieu-

Squadron, whose attempt to fly across
the continent in one day with only one
stop ended abruptly at Pablo Beach,
lS miles east of here, last night when
his plane was wrecked before it took
the air, expected today to ascertain
the extent Of the damage to the ma
chine and determine whether he would
makek a second start.
The aviator headed south on the
beach for the taking off and was al
most on the point of leaving the
ground when his running gear struck
short strench of soft sand. The
machine swerved and headed directly
into the surf. Upon striking the
waves it turned over and landed on
his back in shallow water.
National guardsmen and spectators
who rushed to the scene expecting
Doolittle to be injured found him un-
heart and berating his i'll luck. A
hurried examination of the machin
as 1t lay in the water disclosed q
broken wing and smashed propeller.

Lieutenant w. d. Coney last year flew

with brief stop at Dallas, and re-
ceived fatal injuries when his plane

Lieutenant Doolittle said a few min

he felt he would be successful since
he believed Pearson and Coney had
exhausted all the i'll luck connected

GERMANY MAKING
EFFORT TO ESCAPE

Press). The allidd statesmen who
are meeting here in an endeavor to
solve the European riddle, today de-
voted five hours to an analysis Of the
conditions existing between Great
Britain, France, Italy and Belgium.
The conference terminated in the ap-
pointment of committee, composed
of the finance ministers of these
countries, which is to examine into
specific proposals made by Raymond
Pc:ncare, the French premier. These
proposals have not been made pub
lie.
The committee, in collaboration
with the financial experts, is to meet
under the craftsmanship of Sir Robert
S. Horne, British chancellor of the
exchequer, at 1890 o'clock tomorrow
morning. 1t will make a report to
the full conference some time Tues
day or Wednesday.
The appointment of the committee
followed proposal by David Llyod
George, the British prime minister,
to grant moratorium to Germany
which would terminate at the end of
the present year, and the outline by
M. Poincare measures which France
considers should precede any further
effort to alleviate German obliga-
tions.
France has no objection to a
moratorium in principle" said M.
Poincare. He then outlined the plan
which he indicated would be satis-
factory to Frances requirements.
EVERY sanction" Mr.. Lloyd George
replied, "should be considered as to
whether it will result merely in
trouble or in hard cash."
Mr.. Lloyd George discussed M.
Poincare's proposition in detail and
expert advice should be invited before
the ministers said yes or no to it.
The question of referring the matter
to committee was unanimous.
The French, British, Belgian and
Italian spokesmen during the session
painted gloomy pictures of their war
ravaged countries and consequent
chaotic trade conditions. Baron Hay
ashi, the Japanese representative,
threw ray of sunshine into the con-
ference and brought the first laughter
among the delegates when he made
the declaration: "T think the single
object of the allies should be to get
the money possible"
Mr.. Lloyd George in brief ad-
d4ess opened the conference. He
said the British government favored
awaiting the report of the reparations
committee before completing an allieo
meeting but that others had thought
the circumstances necessitated an i'm
mediate gathering. He then invited
NJ. Poincare to elaborate his view.
NJ Poincare said he thought the
meeting was necessary because two
factors of great Importance had de-
veloped since the last conversations
in London; namely, the German de-
mand for moratorium and the note
of the Earl of Balfour concerning in
terallied debts. The French premier
added that the Versailles treaty re-
quired Germany to pay her dues.
"She actually is paying nothing" he
exclaimed

NO; FAVOR FOR
HARDING'S PLAN

: New York, Aug. 7.-AS Sertion tina
President Harding'' new proposal fo,
ending the rail strike would seem etc
be demand Cor a complete surrender
of the position of the railway presl-
dents. as stated last Tuesday," was
made by L. F. Loree, chairman of the
Eastern wesidents' conference, at tn
close of an informal meeting Of re-!
heads late today.
Mr.. Loree emphasized, however, that
he was expressing merely personal
opinion and was not speaking for the
conference. He also insisted that the
conference which preceded the state
ment was purely informal and that no
decision had been reached by those
who attended it.
Mr.. Loree's statement follows:
'In the resolution adopted by the
railway executives on August !, they
took the position squarely that the
striking former employees can not be
given preference to employees at
present. in the service without doing
violence to every principle of right
and justice involved in this matter,
and without the grossest breach of
faith on the part of the railroads to
the men at present in their service
president Harding in his PROPOSE
ton today said, therefore, only the
question of seniority covered in para
graph 3, which executives rejec ted, re-
mains in dispute.
"He calls upon both workmcn and
carriers, under the law, to take the
question in dispute to the. railroad
labor board for hearing and decision
and the compliance by both, with the
decision rendered.
"It would seem that this request de-
mands a complete surrender of the
position of the railroad presidents
as stated last Tuesday"
Washington, Aug. 7. - President
Harding's new proposal for settling
the railroad strike apparently ad-
vances "no constructive program,
leaders of the striking shop crafts
men said tonight after protracted
conference. They announced that a
meeting of executives of all railroad
unions, including the four brother
hoods, would be summoned to consider
what action should follow rejection
,of tsae' propesals lsSsszsEaAss1ss
B. M. Jewell, head of the shop crafts
federation, said that the presidents
settlement proposals constituted "a
most uncalled for attempt to help the
railroads break the strike" He added
that "nobody ought to get the idea
that the shop federations will accept"
