Favorable Reply Accepted

Washington, July 12.-Whilc no re-

ators or miners union officials was
looked for at the White House be
fore the end of the week, the anthra-
cite operators were understood to be
prepared to respond today to Prcsi-
dent Harding's proposals for arbitra-
tion to end the suspension of work
in the unionized coal mining areas.
Previous proposals for arbitration at
the hands Of the president by the
anthracite employers afforded tn
only indication of the probable ma.
ture of their reply.
It was evident that neither side
regarded the arbitration suggestions
as outlined with entire approval.
Among the operators the propose.
for temporary continuance of the old
wage scale and for national arbitra-
ton instead of district arbitration
met with disfavor while on the union
side the issue was raised as to what
areas would be included in the arbi-
traton scope.

Among Themselves Over
Madalynne's Privileges

(By the Associated Press)
Los Angeles, July 12.-The second
trial of Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain
for the murder of J. Belton Kennedy
was to be resumed today if the de-
fendant's physical condition justi-
fled it.
Court was adjourned early yester-
day afternoon after it became known
that Mrs. Obenchain had tainted in
her cell. Later it was stated she
was suffering from cold and had
fever and chills.
Two other inmates Of the women's
ward in the county Jail quarreled
over alleged privileges granted Mrs.
Obenchain. One was hit over the
head with the heel of a shoe.
The majority of the women pris-
oners have taken sides on whether
Mrs. Obenchain was entitled to spe-
cial privileges or not.
The result of the quarrel and the
division into factions was the with
drawal of all privileges from all
women prisoners for two days.

A. P. Lenhart was elected chair
man of the Bismarck school board at
the reorganization meeting sheld last
night. J. A. Larson was again
named treasurer and Richard Pen
warden was rejected clerk.
Two new members elected recently
were present at the meeting, W. r.
Jones and Geo. M. Register. They,
with the three hold-over members,
Mr.. Lenhart, D. T. Owens and E. V.
Lahr, comprise the board.
Plans for the ensuing school year
were discussed by members Of the
board, Including condition Of the
buildings and previous decisions re-
garding teachers and curriculum.
The Commercial course will be
continued in the high school, it was
stated following the meeting.
DR.. and Mrs. N. o. Ramstad ap-
peared and the former called atten-
ton of the board to the congested
conditions governing the Fifth and
Sixth grades in the Will schol. Re-
lief from these conditions was prom
ised by board members, who pledged
them selves to give special attention
to the attention of all school build
ings and grounds during the vacation
period. *.5
Schools Growing
There are no fifth and sixth
grades at the William Moore school
at this time, the junior high school
being installed there. The fifth and
sixth grade pupils from that school
attend the Will school. ''F>'e'-'' 't71' <
Just what action may be taken by
the board to relieve conditions is un-
certain. 1t is possible that rear
rangements may be made in the Will
school in an endeavor to get more
room.
Bismarck's continued increase in
population is keeping before the
board almost constantly the question
of providing adequate room for the
rapidly expanding schools.
The board awarded the coal con-
tract for the coming year to the
Washburn Ignite Coal Company,
the lowest bidder, at $4.25 per ton.

(Bv the Associated Press;

The Hague, July 12.-The morning
conference on Russian affairs when
was devoted to the consideration OF
the private property question, broke
IN amid considerable confusion
manv Of the delegates declaring the
Russian replies meant that the col
lapse of The Hague conference was
inevitable. No decision as to th1s
however, had been taken up 10 'hree '
o'clock this afternoon.
M Litvinoff declared that sii
philip Lloyd Greame Of England M
Alphand of France and other OF tne
non-Russian representatives had IN.
sisted upon beginning work JUST
where the Genoa conference peean
and had made progress impossible by
tbreshing over old straw and de-
handing replies from the Russians
which they could not possibly make
until the other powers told them
what would be done financially py
those powers toward Russian restor-
alton. :. -,
eve cannot say how long it will
take to restore Russia until we kno"
what our resources will be-" Lltvl-

In the conference session To-Day
President Patyn, after hearing the
Russian explanation concerning the
restitution Of confscated torelgn
nronertv. announced that no usetul
purpose would be served IN contlhu-
ing the discussions.
Sir Philip Lloyd Greame OF Grea1
Britain after hearing the Russian
explanation said he would consult
his colleagues as to whether any
GOOD could be served by further
meeting of the subcommittee on
nroperty. Sir Philip found the re-
niles of the Russians unsatisfactory
because they declined to make any
promise concerning compensation.
A meeting of the commission on
debts was arranged for later in the
afternoon. -:
President Patyn announced in the
conference at one o'clock that FUR
ther discussion seemed useless and
brought the conference to sudden
close after two hours of debate IN
which Sir Philip Lloyd Greame OF
Great Britain and other of the nom
Russian delegates persistently tried
to get Maxim Litvinoff and his asso-
cates Of the Russian delegation to
answer questions regarded as essen
tial.
These related to the plans for the
restoration of foreign property con-
fscated by the Soviet regime and the
probable time that would be re-
quired to rebuild Russia.
Just as at the Genoa conference,
the chief bone of contention was the
foreign property that had been ma
tionalized in Russia mad it did not
ppear that the Russians and nom
Russians were any nearer an agree
'ment at The Hague than at Genoa on
that problem W hich wrecked the &C.
roa conference.
