To Try HousecIeaning

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Presldent Coolidge will use all the power of the federal government to effect a house cleaning" of the anthracite in- dustry. which has been demanded again By Governor Pirchot of Penn sylvania.
 This was made known at the White House Friday. It was said, however that this can be only along the lines laid down by existing law. The de- partment of justice has been studying just what steps 1t can take to stop profiteering in hard coal and other obiectionable practices, it was an- nounced by Attorney General Daugh- erty. after the cabinet meeting. No decision has yet been reached.
 The government is depending mainly on the federal trade com mission. which is now studying the industry and has issued several re- ports charging "scalping" and ex- cessively high prices. The commits sion has complained against several hard coal companies for such prac- tices and they have been ordered to appear before the commission, which is expected to render a general re- port to the President The latter probably will base recommendations to Congress on this report.
 President Coolidge has no inten- ton of making any suggestions to the states for dealing with the hard coal problem, it was stated by White House spokesman. Governor Pinchot has called a conference of governors of the 30 anthracite using states to consider remedial legisla- ton 10 be laid before Congress.

ATLANTA POLICE
 GO AFTER WOMAN
However, It Is Not Known If Person Held In Nashville
 Is Right One

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 1e.-Atlanta authorities were expected to leave tonight for Nashville, Tenn, to ques- tion a Mrs W. A. Weaver there in the belief she may have information they seek concerning events preceding the staying of W. s. Coburn, Ku KluX Klan attorney, by P. E. Fox, former publicity man for the order, the mo- tive for which has never been estab- lished.
 Mrs. Weaver was arrested at Nash vile this afternoon, but was released a short time later on telephonio in- structions from Chief of Police Beav- CTS of Atlanta, who informed authori- ties there that there was no warrant here for her arrest. Authorities here were not positive tonight that the Mrs. Weaver in Nashville was the woman they are seeking.
 Solicitor John A. Boykin, heading the prosecution forces, said tonight that he had not requested the arrest of the woman sought, but had merely asked that she be located so that she could be questioned. He said he had asked the police department there to located a Mrs. Margaret Weaver, who, it was said. has Knowledge regard ing the motives for the shooting that will prove sensational if divulged.

DON'T CHECK THE
 PRESERVATION BY KILLING BODY DOORS
"She's fair as the day And sweet as May"
--Cowper,

Girls who are otherwise beautiful, attractive and clever, but through nc fault of theirs are subject to embar- rassing and popularity running body odors, too often fail to realize the seriousness of trying to drown them by using perfumes or strong deodor- ants.
 Perspiration is necessary. Don't even think of checking it. It is the only means of carrying off a big pro- portion of the poisonous waste which the system has to throw off every hour to keep you healthy. But you can absorb this precipitation by simply dusting the body with the exquisitely fragranced Black and White Talcum Powder, which keeps moisture from saturating your clothing and chafing your skin.
 Black and White Talcum is fra granced with the alluring odor of "In- cense of Flowers" perfume, which will keep you smelling fresh and clean" yet it is economically priced in liberal 25c sitter cans. All dealers can supply it to you.

CANCELS MEETING

PARIS, Nov. 16.-England's refusal to participate caused the cancellation of saturdays meeting of the council of ambassadors, which was to discuss allie daction on the return of the ex- crown prince to Germany, and Ger many's rejection of interallied mili- tary control.
 The British decision was made known to France through Lord Crewe, British member of the council, who stated that it would be impossible for him to attend. The meeting was thereupon canceled.
 The British reason was not d. vulged, but 1t is surmised that the Franco British viewpoints on the re- turn of the ex-crown prince and armamene control were recognized as being irreconcilable.
 Cancellation of the meeting fol- lowed day of informal interchange of views between members of the council. Apparently last minute at tempts to unite the conflicting views of Britain and France failed.

of the Ruhr. However, England may press France to pay her war debt, and then will gradually withdraw from continental affairs and build up stronger air force for defense
 British circles were frankly pessi- thistle Friday night, fearing that the French would take separate action, In view of the German refusal to permit control
 The question of the return of the ex-Crown Prince Is tied up with Ger manys military resources. Lord Crewe, British member of the Coun- ell of Ambassadors, has been in structed that Britain will not take further steps to force the ex-Crown Prince to leave Germany.
 Parliament Dissolved.
 While grave international decis- ions were being taken, Parliament was dissolved Friday in preparations for the general elections on Decem- Der 6. The decree of dissolution sets December 20 as the date for the next Parliament to assemble, but 1t is ex- pected that a proclamation will be is- sued after the election postponing the new Parliament until after New Years Day.
 King Georges speech dissolving Parliament demonstrated the gravity of the international situation, and even went beyond Baldwin's previous statements in placing responsibility for the breakdown of the reparation | inquiry directly on France.
 unfortunately, 1t was not possible to secure the, assent of the French government to proposals which, 1t had been hoped, would lead to the solution of the separations problem '' his majesty said.
 My government regards with pro- found anxiety the continuance of the present economic conditions in Eu rope, which depend so largely on the settlement of this question"
 The speech also mentioned the 12 mile limit project for search and seizure of rum runners off the Amer lean coast, saying:
 Negotiations are proceeding with the government of the United States for the settlement of difficulties as regards the carriage of liquor in transit and the illicit importation of liquor into the United States"
 This demonstrates the point pre- viously brought out that approval of the project by the imperial con- ference did not mean the final solu- ton of the problem. Negotiations are still proceeding between London and Washington regarding the text of the arrangement.

Much Of Time Of Hearing
 Also Devoted To Mortimer's Private And Home Life

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-President Harding apologized to J. M. Williams of Philadelphia for the conduct Of Charles R. Forbes while he was d. rector cf the Veterans Bureau. Mrs. J NJ Williams testified today befr.e the senate veterans c ,mmittee. She was called after the four days ex- animation of Forbes had been con- cluded.
 Mrs. Williams said her husband, who had testified against Forbes, went to the President in company with Representative Edmaaison, re- publiceI, Pennsylvania. lat4 in 1922 This was after Forbes ana his friend, Sidney Bieber, of W 4shinktaa. had threatened her over the long distance telephone, she said, because she had written letter detailing some of the charges of intrigue, graft and cor ruption In connection with hospital cdntratte and other matters which Elias H. Mortimer since has made against Forbes befort the commit tee.
 The President apologized," she saids and said how he had met MT. Forbes and had come to appoint him He saio he met him in Honolulu and that Nil. Forbes. as the American of ficial there, had shown the party about. Later he came to Marion"
 Chairman Reed interrupted to end this phase of the witness testimony as immaterial to the purpose of the inquiry.
 Mrs. Williams, who said she was the aunt of Mrs. Elias H. Mortimer, declared that Forbes and Bleber wis., isted her home in Philadelphia In an effort to get possession os some papers which Mortimer had given to Mrs. Mortimer for safekeeping.
 During the two hours and more he was on the stand today, Forbes was taken over much of the ground cov- cred before In his testimony, and he reiterated denials of "drinking parties" and other charges made against him. He said he began to have "suspicions" about Charles F, Cra Panarol Al L..

 The former director said Major Grant, the district officer at San Francisco, had told him of a report had been sent to Washington, one- third for Forbes, one-third for Cra- mer and one-third for President Harding.

 Commander Mcfarland assured the senators he meant no criticism ot them. After Forbes left the stand later in the day there was an airing Of the differences between Mortimer and his wife.
 s. D. Timberlake, a Staunton, Va. attorney said that when he first met Mrs. Williams, she praised Forbes but that some time later, when he went to the Williams home, both MT and Mrs. Williams denounced Forbes and Bieber. Mrs. Williams charging that they were about to abduct Mrs Mortimer. Timberlake said their in formation was apparently based on what Mortimer had told them.

 Telling of later interview, durina which he said Mortimer was secreted behind door, Timberlake said he told the Williamses they should not believe Mortimer, as he had a report from the department of justice that he was "a grafter, a bootlegger and a potential blackmailer."

SIX SEATS VACANT
 IN TWO BODIES
Foreign Relations And Finance Will See Scramble For
 Preferment

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Marked changes in the personnel of the Sem ate's two most prominent commit tees, foreign relations and finance, are forecast by returning republican and democratic leaders. These two committees have suffered most since the last Congress through changes wrought by the elections, death ana resignatlons, six seats in each con- mittee being vacant. Places on both committees are much sought. There are three republicans and three dem- ocratic vacancies on the foreign re- lations committee, now divided be- tween ten republicans and six demo- crats, but there is prospect of
 change in the committee represen- tation to a nine to seven division, because of the reduced republican majority in the Senate. This would leave for the republicans but two of the vacancies to four for the demo- crats.
 Pepper Has Edge.
 Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania, in the opinion of many republican leaders, is scheduled to fill one of the majority vacancies on the foreign re- lations committee. Senator Edge or S.. New Jersey, is another prominently mentioned. For the democratic va cancies, Senator Robinson of Arkan- sas. democratic leader, and Senator Underwood of Alabama, are among the reported "favorites."
 The nendinE world court proposal is regarded as an important issue which may be affected by the filling of the foreign relations committee vacancies. Of the ten present mem bers, at least six are generally class cd as 'drreconcilables," not including Chairman Lodge.
 Geographical considerations are expected to figure prominently in filling the finance committee Vacan- cies, of which five now are on the republican side. And here, too, re- auction in that party's representa- tion is 6 prospect. Senator Smoot of Utah, under the seniority rule' IS scheduled to become chairman of commit+ee. but those to be selected for the vacancies are regarded as somewhat uncertain at this time.

By CHARLES NJ. mCANN Geased Wire to The Axe-HeraIdl

LONDON, Nov 1s.-The balance of power in Europe trembles danger ously.
 England and France stand at the crossroads of history, their states men struggling to decide which road they shall follow.
 The council of ambassadors was scheduled to meet in Paris Saturday, in final attempt to reconcile Anglo French differences, but the meeting was cancelled Friday. It Is felt here that any further development in the situation, including the possibility that the ambassadors may yet meet again, will produce one of three re- suits:
 l. A continuance of the present pretense of an Anglo-Fr "en- tente."
 9. A change in the French policy toward Germany.
 8. The final severing of the "en- tente."
 It is possible that new compro- mise may be patched up. yet every European capital realizes the grav- ity of a situation by which London and Paris are daily drawing further apart.
 If France decides to march fur ther into Germany, it Is considered here that the move would most likely result in the restoration of German monarchy.
 o o O France To Act Alone.
 In the m eeting of the ambassadors Thursday. France insisted on further sanctions from Germany, owing to the German refusal to restore inter- allied military control. France fur thermore declared that she would act alone if Britain and Italy re- fused to join her.
 It Is learned on high authority that Britain refused absolutely.
 Britain, 1t Is said, took the view that Germany might admit the allies' right to resume military control- which Germany would be willing to debut that at present, no matter what Germany did, an allied control commission would not be safe In Ger many.
 France declares that she will re- vive the question Saturday and will insist upon taking sanctions.
 If France, with the support of Bel gium, which has gone too far to re- treat, decides to occupy more terri tory, Britain and Italy will remain aloof. as they did in the occupation
