Won't Rccognizc French.

Berlin, Jan. IS (By Associated Press)-At the conference held yes terday in the Ruhr between Col Simons of the French occupation forces and representatives of the Ger.
 man railways in the district. the rail- waymen declared they wouli recog- nize only the German authorities as
 mediators in labor questions, accord ing to a dispatch to Vorwaerts from
 Essen today They added they had no confidence in the occupying au- thorities with whom they desired to
 have no contact.
 pr. Gruetzner has sent communi- cation to Gen. Divegnes in the Ruhr
 stating that the representatives of the
 owners and the workmen were highly
 indignant at having been invited to Tuesdays conference merely to receive a military order and had expressed determination not to attend any more conferences with the French authori- ties of occupation, says Dusseldorf message.
 Dr. Gruetnzer further states, adds the message that the situation has become so obscure it is impossible to say who shall pay the wages which will shortly fall due to the 56o.0oo miners whose average daily pay IS 1 .o00 marks. Dr. Gruetzner added that food prices had risen 50 per cent since the beginning of the occu- patton. Dr. iruetzner gave warning to the French against any measures tending to cut off the Ruhr from un- Germany, as this. he said, would lead to the complete disruption of the highly complicated railway system.

 Before the outbreak of the war. Charles and John kempshall and two other brothers were interested in a leeal manufacturing establishment.
 Although they were all YeunE men they had carried on with a marked degree of success and were coming t0 the fore in the then comparatively limited field Of manufacturing.
 In the later "40's'' John went south for the fuTiheTanee Of his business inr teresls and il was while he was south of the Mason and Dixon line that the slavery question and secession be- came the chief topics Of discussion in political and governmental circles, As the weeks went on the breach became wider and wider and hnally. with Fort sumter fired upon. the union and the seeessionlsts began 10 muster their resources and man power in prepara- ton for fight 10 the finish.

 one of the first men to place his name on tho roll of the volunteer forces after President Lincoln had called for volunteers was Charles | kempshali. Al almost the same time John kempshsll was donning the gray uniform Of Jefferson Davis forces and ! the brothers went into training for battles that might have piited one against the other on the field. As matters developed. however. the | Kempshalls were not at any time in | active combat against each other.
 While the conflict was at its height. | John was taken n prisoner during a skirmlsh in tho region of tho Cum. bcrland mountains and hc was taken from tho field of battle and placed in confinement in a Union army prison. At the close Of the war both men were discharged from the service and returned 10 the business world. Charles in this city. and John in the west. '.
 Returning 10 New Britain. Charles took a position with the Stanley Rule and Level Co. where he continued in until a few years ago when he was retired on a pension.
