RAILROADS READY
 TO HANDLE COAL
Say That They Can Transport It As Fast As It Is Being
 Mined.

New York, Sept. 1l.-Faced with the problem of handling a greatly in- creased flow of coal with the anthra- cite mines reopening today, heads of hard coal railroads in New York an- nounced they would move the coal as fast as 1t was mined,
 Since August 24 when the bitumin- ous mines became active, car move ments have set records Roads re- ported they were placed under the heaviest demand for coal cars in their history Now that the anthracite mines are operating the rail execu- ties are preparing for still greater ef- fcrts in meeting the anticipated de- mand.
 E. F. Loree. president of the Dela- ware and Hudson Co.,, Jlid his road was moving mine-ward 1000 ton coal cars with tonnage of 3s5,ooo. We will have no difficulty in moving all the coal that is off0ed,' he said.
 The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western and the New York Central also have made special plans to meet the emergency. New York Central officials have renewed pleas to shippers that orders for coal be held to immediate requirements in order to prevent possible delay at un- loading points.

MUST REPAIR MINES
 BEFORE OPERATING
Actual Mining Will Begin Within
 Few Days

Wilkes Barre, Pa, Sept. 1l.-1n striking contrast to the idlencss of the last five months the anthracite coal fields today were scenes of feverish activity. when most of the 155.ooo mine workers who responded to the suspension order of their union on April l, returned to work. Many of them did not wait for the formal signing of the agreement which was ratified Saturday by their tri-district convention but were waiting at the mouths of the mines when the whistles blew at a. m.
 Signing of the new wage scale by union officials and representatives of the operators was set for II o'clock.
 John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers. declared that at least 9S per cent of the men were satisfied with the new scale and that a great majority would resume work today. The remainder, he added, would return as soon as the mines are put in condition for operation. A number of mines were flooded during the summer by heavy rains and will not be in shape for several weeks.
 Little or no coal will be mined for two or three days, most of the col liertes planning to use their entire force in placing new timbers and clearing the mines of water and gas.
 By the end of the week, however, It is expected that production will be we'll under way and that several hundred thousand tons will be on the way to market. Leading operators said the normal output of 100000 tons week probably would not be reached before the last of this month.

TARIFF BILL TO BE
 REPORTED TOMORROW
Leaders Hope That Measure Will Be Formally Ratified By End
 of Week.

Washington, Sept, 1.-The confer if bill was in the making today, the republican conferees having reached final agreement on the 2,436 points in dispute between the senate and house after IT days of labor. Under present plans the report would be re- ported to the house tomorrow and formally ratified there on Wednesday, It then will go to the senate where leaders hope for final action before the end of the week.
 Compromises were necessary on practically all of the high spots in the bill. Thus long staple cotton which the senate had proposed to tax at seven cents pound went back to the free list while the tax on sugar was fixed at 2.20 cents a pound on full duty and 1.76 cents on Cuban raw. The senate rates were 230 and 184, respectively, and the house rates and Is
 In agreeing to a duty of 31 cents pound on raw wool, secured con- tent, the senate conferees yielded two cents while the house managers ac- cepted an increase of six cents over the house rate. With this decrease from the senate duty of 33 cents pound, slight reductions were made in the compensatory rates on woolen goods.
 Although both the house and sen- ate rejected a proposal to continue the present dye embargo licensing system, the conferees agreed to it's continuance for one year with au- thority for the president to keep it in force for an additional year.

First State Election of 1922 Causes Eyes of Country to Be Turned That
Way

Portland, Me, Sept 1.-The first state election of 1922 was under way in Maine today with a United States senator four representatives to con- gress and governor heading the off cials to be chosen The adage 'as Maine goes so goes the country" at tracted nationwide interest in the re- suit although only a tremendous turn over would change the present repub- lican control.
 With eight women seeking seats in the legislature and ten more for county offices, voters had an opportu- nifty to vote for them for the first time.
 Senator Frederick Hale, republican, was opposed by former Governor Oakley c. Curtis, democrat. Both are residents of this city.
 Governor Percival P Baxter, re- publican, had former Attorney Gen. eral w R. Pattangall, democrat, for an opponent.
 The four present republican con- gressmen were up for reelection.
 Chief interest in the election cen- tered in the size and distribution of the women's vote democratic leaders maintaining that in this factor lay a potential surprise for republican or ganization heads who predicted plurality of 10000.

M|NSTER.SHER|FE:
 ID EXECUTE WEEKS
Winiired E. Robb, Former Army
 Chaplain, Resolved to do Duty

Des Moines, Ia, Sept 11.-Inter- vention of executive clemency ap- parently is all that will forestall Winifred E. Rohb, minister and for mer chaplain of the 16sth Infantry, Rainbow division, from carrying out the execution by hanging of Eugene Weeks condemned murderer of George Fosdck. Des Moines grocer, at IF o'clock noon. Friday, Septem- Der 15. So far as known, Robb will be the first minister to act in such a role
 Duty Is Clear
 My duty Is clear" Sheriff Robb said. The law specifically provides that the sheriff of the county in which a prisoner Is convicted of first degree murder, shall attend to the details of the hanging or detail the task to one of his deputies
 Sheriff Robb states that while he favors capital punishment he does not believe i'll hanging
 To justify his actions, the former chaplain quotes from the bible as follows: "Whosoever sheddeth blood by man shall his blood be she'd" He says the bible is full of examples of capital punishment.
 Resigns Pastorate
 Sheriff Robb until recently was pastor of the Urbandale Federated church here. When it appeared that the date of Weeks execution would come during his term of office as sheriff, Robb resigned his pastorate, He explained that he did not want his acts as sheriff to cause embarrass- ment to members of his church.
 Robb's career as sheriff of Polk county, the most thickly populated in Iowa, has been a spectacular one. On October 27, unless intervention is made. he or one of his deputies will be obliged to hang Orrie Cross, ac- complce of Weeks in the staying of Fosdick.
 Received Decoration.
 Robb was decorated with the dis tinguished service cross during the world war for extraordinary heroism I displayed in attending to the needs of the men in his regiment during the | driv against the enemy at Chateau Thierrq. His citation shows that | during all of this time, and particu- larly during the operation near Sergy, he showed the greatest coolness un- der severe artillery fire in attending to the needs of the men of his regi- ment.' Robb recently was selected as the democratic candidate for congress rom the seventh Iowa district.

RELATIVES IN
DOG LAW SUIT
AT NEWPORT
Plaintiff Gets Damages of
One Cent From His
Nephew

Touble over collie dog led to
a lawsuit between Edward Nor
rill and his nephew, Joseph Nor
rill.
The case was tried Monday
afternoon and evening before
Judge W. NJ. Wright, F C. Will
liams appearing for Edward Nor
rilI, the plaintiff in the case, and
w. H. Cleary, for the defendant.
Briefly stated the trouble arose
over the assertion by Joseph Nor
rill that the dog belonged to his
uncle who, had sold him his farm,
visited his old home upon several
occasions. On one of these occa-
sions he bit the year-old child
of the defendent, one the arm.
Joseph Morrill, the father of the
child, kept the dog in the barn and
tied in the cellar and refused to
release him until paid damages,
although the physicians examina-
ton disclosed no bruise or mark.
Suit was brought by Edward
Morrill, to recover his dog. This
was settled by the return of the
dog, but Edward Morrill, still sued
to recover the damages for i'll
treatment of the dog. He was
awarded one cent and to recover
the costs. Several witnesses were
called on both sides, and although
the dog was present, in the court
house, he did not make his APP
pearance in the court room.
