crate organization to save the east
ern and Middle Atlantic states from
suffering in the event the threatened

carried out September 1, were
launched by Federal Fuel Admins

anthracite as is available, OF bitumi-
nous coal, and of fuel oil and other
substitutes for the regular anthra-
cite supply.
Second: Inauguration of a wide
spread campaign of education to in
duce the public to conserve fuel and
to teach them how to use substitute
fuels.
Contrary to earlier reports. the
conference was not attended in per-
SON by governors of any of the states
involved. All, however sent repre-
sentatives authorized to act for
them.
After some discussion the COVER
nors and governors representatives
adopted a resolution submitted by
Governor Cox, of Massachusetts,,
pledging their fullest cooperation
with Federal Fuel Administrators

Poison Victim Known
Well I'm This Section

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S:-Inspector
John D. Coughlin, head of the De-
tective Division; Capt. Arthur Carey
and ten detectives of the Homicide
Squad, and Assistant District Attor-
ney James j. Wilson were unable to
decide today whether John H. Sut-
phen, thirty-eight. of No. 333 Central
Park West, was murdered with cya-
nide, committed suicide, or drank
poison accidentally. They found him
somewhat imam of mystery" and
are unable to untangle many of the
puzzles of his most recent past.
Though they have found no ap-
parent motive for murder, they have
found none for suicide, unless it
might have been due to depression
following period of intoxication.
He had been living at the rate of
$4,000 a year, vastly more than his
known income and had maintained
two apartments.
Sutphen's expenditures and their
relation to his probable income as
private secretary to George A.
Helme, tobacco and snuff manufac-
turer, were studied by the police.
Sutphen lived lavishly, paying
$4,000 a year for his apartment
and presumably paying also for the
home in which his wife and a child
live in New Jersey. The apartment
was stocked in expensive liquors and
elaborately furnished.

ANCIENT OMEN FORECASTS
BLOODSHED IN EUROPE

Geneva.-(A. P)-The "blood of
the Borgundians' has appeared again
on the water of Lake Morat, near
Neuchatel, portending more trouble
for old Europe, if ancient legend is to
be believed
The redening of the water of this
lake is caused by the Towering of an
aquatic plant, which, however, blooms
very rarely. The phenomenon was
seen in 1476, when $4,000 Burgundi-
ans under Charles the Bold were de-
feated near the lake by the Swiss. The
last time the waters were red was in
1914, just before the outbreak of the
World war, a circumstance said to
justify the old saying. when blood is
seen on Lake Morat there will be
bloodshed in Europe"

FARMERS WILL DISCUSS
WHEAT Price PROBLEM

A meeting of farmers in the Mos
cow district has been called for Sat
urday afternoon at 1:30, at the hall in
the Farmers Union store building.
This meeting, The Star-Mirror Ia
asked to state, is not alone for men,
bers of the union, but is for all far
mers, and it is urged that there be
large attendance.
The principal object of the meet
ing is to discuss plans for bringing
about better condition for the
wheat farmer. There seems to be
growing tendency throughout the
country to ask the government,
through the war finance corporat-
ion, to absorb the years surplus,
which many believe will not be above
150,000,O0O bushels, and, with this out
of the way, for. the farmer to take
his chances for a fair price on the
American market. Congress will be
asked, however, to place tariff on
wheat which will prevent other
wheat-producing countries from
bringing wheat into this country and
offering it at figure which would
demoralize the market.
Delegates will be named to repre-
sent the Moscow district at the meet
ing of growers and bankers at Col
fax early in November

'ZEV and MY own RACE
FOR AMERICAN H0NORS

New York-(A. P.)-zev, Internal
ional three-year-old champion, as g
result of it's decisive victory Satur-
day over Papyrus, the English derby
winner, will settle his rivalry with
My Own for American honors at La
tonia track, Latonia, KY, unless
present plans go astray.
Samuel G. Hildreth, trainer Of Zev,
today announced that the Rancocas
colt would be shipped to Latonia
next week for the big stake and as
Rear Admiral Carey T. Grayson,
owner of My Own, already has enter
ed his unbeaten star, it seemed as
sured that these two thoroughbreds
would settle their disputed question
of supremacy.
Nothing will keep zev out of the
race except breakdown" declared
Hildreth, who added that they had
declined to enter his charge in the
$4,000 Washington handicap at a
mile and quarter, to be run as the
closing feature at Laurel, Md, next
Saturday. My Own is an entry in this
event, but there was some specula-
ton as to whether Grayson might
not withdraw his horse in anticipa
tion of fulfilling at Latonia his desire
to have the great son of King James
match strides with Zev.

ROYAL ROMANCE WAS
Love AT FIRST Sight

Brussels.-(A. P.)-The engage
ment of Prince Humbert of Piedmont
heir to the throne of Italy, to Prin-
cess Marie Jose of Belgium, which is
to be officially announced November
4, is the elimination of a love match
Of long standing.
In 1916, Queen Elizabeth of Bel
guim, desirous of placing the little
princess-she was then IL years old
outside the range of airplane raids
and big guns continuously Smelling
La Panne, where the Belgium royal
family had their modest war home,
took her daughter to Florence, when
under private teachers she studied
English and Italian.
Queen Elizabeth, accompanied by
the Princess, spent the 1917 vacation
at Venice. There, under the constant
menace of Austrian airplane raids
and German-Austro offensives, the
Prince, youth in sailors costume,
and the Princess, wearing a plain
white dress, met for the first time.
1t was love at first sight.
When Prince Humbert visited Bel
quinn last year there were many who
noted that although the tour was sup
posed to be officially conducted, the
heir to the throne of Italy preferred
the company of the Princess, now a
beautiful young woman, to receptions
and listening to addresses by Burgo-
masters.
The engagement has been very pop
ularly received here.

POTLATCH COMPANY
EXTENDING ROADS
BUILDING STANDARD GUAGE
ROADS INTO TIMBER IN ELK
RIVER DISTRICT

That the Potlatch Lumber company
is spending thousands of dollars for
railroad building at the door Of Elk
River into the extensive timer hold
lnggs is hardly realized, it is believed.
A trip was made over the railroad
Tuesday, says writer in the Elk
River News, and it was astonishing to
see the work now being carried on
by the company. Two steam shovels,
an Erie and an American, are at
work on two sections of the road, fol-
lowing the east and west forks of
Elk Creek. The farthest point of
the road now reaches about 13 miles
north and follows the west fork. The
grades are not over seven per cent,
and the track carries a standard
guage. Aside from this road which is
called the main line, several spurs or
sidings are being built, tapping the
rich white pine along the Line as they
go. The company is constructing as
much road as they possibly can this
year, that they might have access to
their timber during the next few
years, without stopping to build roads
as they go. Alfred Johnson is fore
man OF the railroad building and his
knowledge of this work is proven by
results he has obtained.
1t is the plan of the company to
build terminal IL miles out One
shay will remain there at all times,
and will be engaged in switching
and making up trains. Other shays
will transport the trains, which will
consist Of logs and cedar poles to
the mill. The poles will be taken
to the cedar yards at Bovill. The
distance to the terminal, and the
work that will have to be done by
the shays is so great that it would
be impossible for the shays to make
the run from town, do their own
switching and make the return trip
the same day.
The Potlatch Lumber company has
at least twenty years cut in the up
per basin country, where this work
IS being carried on.

LEAGUE OF RED CROSS SOCIET-
les RECEIVES GERMAN GIFTS

Paris.-(A. P)-The German an
Red Cross Society has just made its
annual contribution to the expenses
of the League of Red Cross Societies,
thus furnishing material contradic-
tion of the supposition that is enter
tanned in some quarters that the Lea
que is an "Allied and Associated" con-
Germ.
The German contribution, the
equivalent of 500 was in the form
of French paper francs, and repre-
sented in German paper money fif
teen billion marks.
Nineteen societies contributed in
1922 to the budget, 100000 a year,
which is guaranteed by the American
Red Cross.
Twelve new members have sent in
their contributions to the League, and
it is expected that all the old mem
bers will respond bringing the total
membership this year to 81 soci-
eties.

Fish Commissioner RESIGNS

Boise, Ida.-Fish Commissioner
George Isaac handed his resignation
to Gov Charles G. Moore this after
noon to take effect November Is. A
change of climate for Mr. Isaac's
daughter and an excellent opportun-
ity in California has made the change
necessary from the standpoint of the
commissioner. George Isaac has been
connected with the fish and game de-
partment since 1908, having previous
ly been employed for several years
with the U. S. bureau of fisheries.
