DAYTON. Tenn. July 31-Emerg-

Dayton and Rhea Counties are or
ganizing To give adequate expression

nings Bryan. Their hope of estab-
fishing here a great university rs a
memorial to- the Commoner mas been
much inspired and encouraged dur
ing the last few days by the arrival
of scores of letters and kilograms,
volunteering financial assistance and
insisting that opportunity for CON
tributions be given.
While details of any plans in mind
have been withheld prior TO the burial
at Arlington today, they are known
to include handsome appropriations
by both city and county. All plans
are to be subject to the approval Of
Mrs. Bryan.
Mr. Bryan's preference of Dayton
as the site of the proposed college is
known to have been very firmly ex-
pressed He not only made trips Of
inspection 10 the proposed college
site, but had negotiated for the pUr
chase Of a large lot near the Richard
Rogers home on which he intended
building residence. Associates say
that during the last few days of his
life he said he hoped TO become a resi-
dent Of Dayton for a considerable por-
ton of each year.
Last Friday, about As hours before
his death, he summoned Sue and Her
bert Hicks and one or two others of
his Dayton associates, and went with
them to a large hill in South Dayton.
which had been suggested as the site
of the college. The party walked up
this hill in the broiling sun, Mr.. Bryan
occasionally stopping and pointing out
where driveways should be built and
where athletic fields should be placed.

dent of the welfare association.
DIR. Durkee, who is spendingh the
Summer in Maine, had not been
reached at noon today and 1t - not
.known whether he will ignore the
demand or answer the charges.
Old Controversy.
The demands of the alumni mem
berS and students is a continuation OF
the i'll feeling which has been disturb
ing the university for some time,
which reached a climax over the dis
miSsal of science teacher. The dis
missal was termed arbitrary and
summary" by antagonists OF DR.
Durkee. Complaints were revived last
night when d resolution, presented to
the assemblage by George a. Parker
charged DR.. Durkee with departing
from the ideals of the founders of the
university, Illegally dismisSing pro
fessors. inefficient administration. with
being arbitrary" with appointing
secretary of the general Howard Uni
versity Alumni Association over the
protest of the association members
and with spending funds uselessly in
advertising the university.
The resolution was adopted by the
assembly and is to be sent TO DR..
Durkee, to the members of the board
of trustees of the university and to
the various alumni chapters over the
Nation.
Other members of the committee
which drafted the resolution dema nd
ing that DR.. Durkee resign, and if
he refuses, that the board of trustees
dismiss him as president and as a
member of the board of trustees,
were Rev. w. d. Jarvis and Thomas
Frazier, a local attorney.
DIR. Miller Attacks Durkee.
DIR. Miller. who is pastor of an
Episcopal church in Brooklyn, was
principal speaker at last nights
meeting. He charged DIR. Durkee
with being 'temperamentally unfit" TO
be president of the Howard Uni
versity and declared he was un-
amenable to reason and resentful TO
advice.
Another speaker was Almond w.
Scott, who advocated that the presi-
dent of the Howard University should
be a member of the same race as its
students. This feeling. however, he said
later. was not generally felt, and add
ed that there was no objection to DIR.
Durkee as president of the univer-
sity because of his race, but because
of his management of the schools

COAL MINERS HEAD
SHUNS CONFERENCE
Lewis Is Silent on Major
J Problems of ParIey on
Wage Scale.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, \. J.. July 81
John l.. Lewis, miners international
president, who arrived last night after
10 days absence, remained away from
the anthracite scale conference today,
and signified that it was not his in
lentlon as yet to attend.
Mr.. Lewis remained silent as to
major problems in both the hard and
soft coal fields other than to attack
anthracite mine owners for what he
called their obvious determination not
TO reach a settlement in the wage
negotiations here.
1T is regrettable," Mr.. Lewis said.
that no progress of any character
has been made by the conference.
The operators occupy their time deny
ing everything and yielding nothing.
They continue to mouth their ancient
\ phrases about wage reduction and ar
duration. 1t is obvious to every one
that they have no intention of arriv-
ing at a settlement before the present
contract expires"
Contract Expires August 81.
The expiration date of the anthra
cite contract is August 81. or one
month from today. Miners declare
they Will not continue at work after
September ! without contract.
Signs of special activity were ap-
parent today AT headquarters of both
, anthracite mine owners and mine
Sworkers, following the arrival last
night of Mr. Lewis
The joint scale conference will prob
ably adjourn this afternoon for the
week end; but the return of Mr.. Lewis
was accepted by both sides as indicat-
ing the Importance of what will take
place when the conference resumes
next week
Immediately on arrival at the Hotel
Ambassador last night. Mr.. Lewis
went into secret conference with
Philip Murray. his vice president:
Thomas Kennedy. his secretary treas
urer, and other leaders who have been
handling the anthracite negotiations.
The meeting continued until after
midnight. which led members of the
Aminers full scale committee outside to
Rssume that union strategy in the
roming climax to the wage parley was
under discussion.
Owners IN Session.
Meanwhile w. w. Inglis and his
fellow members of the mine owners
group were in similar session at the
Hotel TraymOre.
Adjournment in the scale delibera-
tions was anticipated today as soon
as the miners had had opportunity to
complete their case.
This would leave the way clear for
the final answer the owners are to
5hake to terms for renewal of the
present wage contraCt-the answer
which, miners say, will spell sus-
pension or no suspension in hard coal
mines after September |.

understood in Europe when he ad-
vised the nations to get together on
security pact. The pending pro-
posals are subject to criticism from
the various countries in Europe, and
there is no question in Mr.. Coolidge's
mind but that a compromise can be
agreed upon if the spirit of reason and
tolerance is to prevail in European
councils. He is not approving the
language or the stipulations of the
security pact, but chiefly its objective.
With that he is in absolute accord.
Mr. Coolidge'S most important step
in foreign policy, so far as the United
States is concerned, is the further de-
Velopment of course of friendship
with Japan. He realizes that no good
can come from leaving the relations
between the United States and Japan
In their present unsettled state. He
was deeply disappointed when the
Senate in a moment of passion re-
fused to heed the Executives plea
for more agreeable method of ac-
complishing Japanese exclusion than
was proposed in the immigration bill
then pending.
Wants Japanese Friendship.
The present law specifically discrim-
mates against the Japanese. To
have placed the japanese on the same
quota basis as other countries would
have menat the admission of 14S
Japanese annually and it is under
stood that Japan of her own Voli-
ton planned to keep intact the gen
tlemen'S agreement so as to prohibit
even the 14S from going to America.
Mr.. Coolidge knows that the entire
problem of armament at present is de-
pendent on future relations with
l., i
the theory that cordial relations are
impossible because of what America
has done to damage Japanese pride.
He has before him the precedent of
the historical plea of the law exempt
ing American vessels from paying
Panama Canal tolls.
President Wilson took the view
that the law was generally regarded
outside America as violating a treaty
and he was supported by Republicans
like Elihu Root. Henry Cabot Lodge
and others in his plea for repeal. Mr..
Coolidge is insured of partisan support
if he takes the same ground. namely.
that the passage of the immigration
law, in direct contradiction of the
gentlemen agreement, was not in ac-
cord with the practice of friendly ma
tions. and that a substitute method OF
meeting the viewpoint of the eXclu-
SionistS can he found.
The Japanese controversy is the
only cloud on the horizon of friendly
relations. The policy of the admins
tration toward Central and South
America continues to win friends in
Latin America. The difficulties with
Mexico are slowly but surely being
ironed out. and the European eco
nomiC situation is at least better than
it was before the Dawes plan was
put into operation.
The President has emphasized the
necessity for the payment of war
debts in a way that has not offended
the foreign debtors. and yet has con
vinced them that the United States is
in earnest. The fruition of this policy
is still in the future, but the begin
ningS are wrapped in the most deli
cate and painstaking diplomacy, for
it is Mr.. Coolidges ambition to fund
all the outstanding debts before
another two years shall roll around
