Dodge His Last Name, But Cops Get Him

nETROIT.-John Duval Dodge, De-
~ troit's Automobile scion," has been
finding life Just one darn thing after
another. Incidentally he's the son of
the man who paid $S25, 900 for pearl
necklace that once belonged to the
Russian cZar. incidentally also, his
father died recently and young Dodge
inherited about a million and half.
Well, first Detroit got after him for
speeding, fined him and put him In
Jail for five days. They imprison reck-
less automobile drivers here; Dodge
found twenty-five others in the house
of correction. He only worked half a
day Of the five; he blistered his hands,
developed a fever and was sent to the
hospital. Just the same his attorneys
failed in every attempt to get him out
of jail.
Then he went to Kalamazoo, Mich,
ride. Rex Earl of Kalamazoo, who
with Dodge and three girl students
from Western State Normal, partici-
pated in an automobile ride in Kala-
mazoo that ended in the serious injury

POWERS COURT
RUSS|A'S FAVOR
Allied Chiefs Settle on Pro-
gram For ConcIave
FRENCH GUARANTEE POLICY
British Premier And French Leader
Clash At Preliminary Session
To Follow Washington
Plan.

Genoa.-The preliminary moves on
the European chess board, to which
the day before the opening of the eco
nomic conference was largely devoted,
plainly showed all nations, great and
small, counting Russia, although they
wished to appear not over-eager in the
courtship.
Therefore, the Russians seemed to
hold position of distinct advantage,
all depending on how they manipu-
lated their pawns in their project to
be admitted to the council of nations
as the representatives of the Russian
state.
The conditions of Russia's entry are
the outstanding and dominating sub
ject of the conference
In the meantime the Allied chiefs
have had two lengthy sessions, which
were marked by some sharp exchanges
between the British Prime Minister,
Mr.. Lloyd George, and Louis Barthou,
representing France. and settled on
definite program of technical work for
the conference. The appointment of
commissions as at the Washington
| Conference was arranged for, com
posed Of representatives of all the ma
tions, with subcommissions, the men,
bership of which is restified to the ma
| tions having particular interest in the
particular economic topics to be taken
up. The French delegates announced
that complete accord existed between
Great Britain and France in all mat
| ters.
Great Britain, France, Japan, Bel
gium and Italy, which invited the 9th.
ers to the Genoa discussions, will be
represented by five delegates; the
same privileges will be extended to
Germany and Russia, owing to their
large population, size and political i'm
portance. All other countries are to
have only two delegates
There is great divergence of opinion
as to how the Russian Commission
shall be formed; the Allies desire that
only England France, Italy, Germany
and Russia shall be represented, as
thereby they could act more rapidly
Japan, the Baltic Entente and the Lit
tie Entente powers are all dissatisfied
with this suggestion, as they claim
their relations with Russia are more
important than those of some of the
Allied countries, owing to the frontier
treaties already concluded with the
Soviet Government.
Before the conferences Lloyd
George, in discussing the conference
said:
II am glad to be here on the eve OF
the conference which obstinately
sought while others vainly tried to
wreck it. With the same obstinacy
will work for the success of the con
ference, of which am fully confident

SNAG N MOVE FOR

Daugherty Expresses Doubt
After Conference
INDICTMENTS MAY STAND

Regarding Antitrust Case Held
BY Operators To Preclude
Farley.

Indianapolis.-Wit view of open
ing the way for possible settlement of
the nationwide suspension of work by
coal miners, Attorney General Daugh-
erty arrived here unannounced from
Washington. After a conference with
Federal Judge A. B. Anderson, he de.
clared he did not know whether dis
missal was possible or practical at
this time" of the indictments charg.
ing 225 coal operators, union leaders
and others with conspiracy to violate
the Sherman Antitrust Law.
In the conference Mr.. Daugherty
discussed dismissal of the indictments
which it was said would remove the
ground for the refusal of some oper
ators to continue interstate wage
negotiations with the union. Judge
Anderson, who declined to discuss
what occurred, was said to have re-
fused to approve dismissal.
Mr. Daugherty also met District At.
torney Elliott and l.. Ert Slack, spe-
cial Government prosecutor. At the
conclusion, he declared:
81 may do nothing in connection
with any of these matters while
here"
Further conferences with the Off
cials here are on the Attorney Gen
erals program and it was learned au
thoritatively that Mr.. Daugherty did
not have any new proceedings to in.
stitute in the court here at this time
He did not meet with President John
l.. Lewis of the United Mine Workers
seek any meeting with miners Off
cials.
After the conference with Judge
Anderson, Mr.. Daugherty asserted he
was seeking certain information
bearing on the nationwide suspen
sion of work, because. he said, "the
Government is desirous of knowing al
1t possibly can regarding the situa
ton"
THE Government is looking agar
with considerable interest in these in
dictments,' he continued, referring tC
the Sherman antitrust cases, charg
ing conspiracy to monopolize the Goa
industry and control prices, "and
am trying 10 get the facts that were
considered in connection with these
cases"
Conspiracy charged in the indict
ments hinged largely around thu
wage conference of operators ant
miners in the Central competitive field
and in this connection Mr.. Daughert!
declared he was trying to get com
plete story of what took place in thes,
meetings"

Oberammergau Passion Play in America

Of the people, as 1t is In Oberammer-
gau. 1 believe the professional actors
as well as the people of such VII.
lage should produce 1t. OF course
America has not the traditions Of the
people Of Oberammergau, who give
the play In fulfillment Of an oath made
when they were relieved from the
plague during the Thirty Years war;
but America is young nation and she
will make a start. Americans are In
tensely interested in the Passion Play,
more interested than the people of any
other country"
Mrs. Becker was born In Obernm-
mergau Of family which has taken
part In the Passion Play since Its first
performance. Her father was stage
manager in 1880, 1890, and 1900. and
her mother took the part Of Eve in the
Adam and Eve tableau as we'll as par
ticipating in the play proper.
The Oberammergau play, she SAID,
is the expression Of the life Of the vii
layers and the children are reared and
trained with the ambition to take part
in 1t. The decrease in population and
the lack Of training due to the war
made 1t inadvisable to give the play In
1920, but 1t will be given this year,
she said.
Contrary to a current report, Mrs.
Becker will not return to play the role
of Mary Magdalene this year.
