a pathetic wedding tragedy yesterday
in Bregan, Austria, was told by the
Geneva newspapers today.
A wealthy widower named Krauss
was about to give his twenty year
cid daughter in marriage to form
er Austrian officer. Krauss had made
elaborate preparations for the cere-
mony and had given his daughter a
large dowry.
But when he first saw the girls
beautiful wedding dress he declared
it was too decollete and tod her he
would not allow her to enter the
church half naked. He locked her up
in his bed room and only relented to
her pleading SO far as TO say she might
go to the church in another gown. The
daughter refused. The hour for the
wedding arrived and passed. Later
the father heard a revolver shot, en-
tered the room and found his daugh-
ter's body lying across the bel, still
cad in hec briaal nj ess.

manpower with which to keep equip
ment in repair and coal trains moving
to Lake Erie ports.
The first quota of non union men,
taken from shops of the Delaware and
Hudson, of which Mr.. Loree is presi-
dent, was reported by him to have
reached Richmond, Va, today. Six
other roads in thi sdlstrict were ek-
pected to contribute men for the emer-
gency on coal carriers where the
strike has hit particularly hard be-
cause of their distance from labor
centers and the inability to recruit
new shop forces
1t was estimated that total of 1,2Oo
mer would be sent from the II roads
in tni.' district to the relief OF the coal
carriers.

SENATORS HAVE

Democrats Make Unsuccessful
Fight Against 35 Per Cent
Duty On Stereotype Mats.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 4.-For hours to-
day the senate Wrangled over the Good
ing resolution proposing a broad inyesti-
cation of the interests of senators, news
papers and others in the passage or de-
feat of the pending tariff bill, but ac-
tion on it was postponed Indefinitely.
Senator Caraway, democrat, Arkansai
who offered the original resolution, pro-
posing an investigation Of the financial
lntesests, if any, of senators in the tariff
schedules, told the senate that he real
lied the investigation was dead
"CIear Their Skirts''-Harrison
charge by Senator Gooding, republi-
can, idaho, that Frank A. Munsey owner
of the New York Herald, was opposing
the tariff bill in the interest of his in
vestments in Europe and sharp exchanges
between Senators Lenroot, republican,
Wisconsin, and Harrison, democrat,
Mississippi, marked debate on the reso-
luton. Senator Harrison insisted that
Senator Gooding and other senators
charged in newspapers with having ma
teria1 interest in the tariff schedules,
should have an opportunity to clear
their skirts Senator Lenroot insisted
that the inquiry proposed would involve
a large expenditure and would be without
result.
Final Vote August II
down, new proposals for an unanimous
consent agreement for final vote on the
tariff bill on August II were put forward
by Senators McCumber, republican,
North Dakota, in charge of the measure
and Simmons of North Carolina the min
ority leader. Senator Lenroot, whose OBJ
lection yesterday prevented such an
agreement, stated privately he would not
give his consent to final vote on Au-
crTIrf Of fI,n1s dot 11,,
portant committee amendments had been
disposed of.
Democrats Fight strenuousIy
The senate finished up committee
amendments in the schedule on PAPER and
books. There was only one real contro-
versy, the democrats making a strenuous
fight against the proposed duty of 35
per cent ad valorem on stereotype mat
rix mat or boards. Senator Walsh, demo-
crat, Montana, proposed to substitute 25
per cent, but this amendment was re-
jected % to IS, and the committee rate
approved.
Several In WrangIe
Opposing the 35 per cent duty, Senator
Simmons said it was admitted that the
Wood -Flong company of New York City,
had a monopoly of the business of max
ing these mats, used by newspapers, and
that it had conducted an "insolent' cam
paign of propaganda. Senator Harris,
democrat, Georgia, said Mr.. Wood, head
of the company, had written letter to
him undertaking to "deceive' him about
the situation, while Senator Walsh, of
Montana, declared there was only the
unsupported statement of Mr.. Wood to
justify the duty. Senator Frelinghuysei',
republican, New Jersey, championed the
duty, declaring it necessary to keep out
the German product. He asserted it was
a question of protecting an American
monopoly against a German monopoly.

Submit Proposition To Frank
Harrington Which Is Design
ed To Reopen Mines.
tay The Associated Prsss>

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Illinois coal oper-
ators' meeting here today refused to at
tend the meeting of the union officials
and operators called for Cleveland next
Monday by John L. Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers, but submitted
a proposition to Frank harrington, presi-
dent of the Illinois miners union, which,
if accepted, would result in reopening Of
Illinois mines.
"Acceeding to and being governed by
the request of the president of the Unit
ed States" the proposal to Mr.. Earring
ton said 1--WE are prepared to at once
open our mines for work, paying the
wage scale in effect at the expiration of
the last contract. And to avoid possible
further disruption of coal production this
fall and winter when the coal supply will
be dangerously short even under the best
conditions we will agree that the old
wage scale shall remain effective until
March 81, 1928" H..
Board Of Arbitration.
The proposals suggested that immedi-
ately uNon resumption of operations the
whole matter of Illinois wages and work
ing conditions be submitted to a board
of arbitration composed of persons mutu-
ally agreed to or appointed by President
Harding, no member of the board to be
an operator or a miner.
The findings of the board, according
to the terms of the proposal would con-
stitute the wage basis for period of
two years from April l, 1923.
The letter to President Lewis refusing
to attend the Cleveland conference as
serted that Mr.. Lewis had called two
such meetings and the Illinois operators
accepted invitations but both were later
abandoned. The letter also asserted that
Illinois operators had accepted the pro-
posal to end the strike made by President
Harding but that the miners had reject
ed it and blamed international officers
of the union for the present situation.
Through refusal of Mr.. Lewis to allow
such a conference, the present coal stu
alton in Illinois has been brought about,
the statement said.
