sented at Buckingham Palace tonight
scurrying In search Of warmer wraps
after all their plans had been made in
accordance with the predictions of the
weather prophets that the hot spell
would continue. 1t was so warm dur
ing the first court, a few weeks ago
that several persons tainted, and a
number of innovations were brought
into use to keep the presentees cool
up to the last moment prior to their
entering to curtsy before the king and

Among these innovations were little

FOUR THOUGHT DROWNED.
Miners Believed Killed by Sudden
Flooding of Shaft.

WALLACE, Idaho. June % P).-
Four men are believed to have been
drowned in the Ajax mine at Burke,
Idaho, yesterday, when miners broke
through the wall of an old shaft and
thousands of gallons of water poured
in on them. A 70-foot wall of rock
and mine debris, besides the water,
checked efforts of rescue crews to
reach the trapped men.
Mine officials have abandoned hope
of saving two of the men. Rescue
crews late today had failed to break
through the debris. The entombed
men are approximately 5000 feet from
the tunnel portal.

repayment Of European borrowings in
order to reduce American taxes while
insisting that Impoverished" coun-
tries like Italy should pay more taxes
for that purpose.
Asks Breathing Spell"
Italy, in short, demands supergen-
erous terms from the United States, on
the ground that no other recourse is
open to her. The Italians expect to
reap full advantage from President
Coolidge's dictum on the debts, enunct-
ated in his message to Congress last
December. The President declared
that terms and conditions may have
to conform to differences in the f1nan-
cial abilities of the countries con-
cerned." On the basis of capacity
to pay Italy is prepared to fund her
huge obligation to the American
Treasury, but holds out no prospect
that the funding can be either on a
cash or an immediate basis. The
Italians insist they require a prolong-
ed breathing spell" as well as con-
cessions in terms. BY this they mean
moratorium that may run for 10
years, and a reduction in interest
rates at least to the and 31a per
cent. rates granted to the British
when their debt to US was readjusted
two years ago.
Secretary Mellon recognizes the
reasonableness of the Italian position
and the good fight that the Mussolini
administration is making to keep 1tal-
ian finances on an even keel. Favor
able impressions on this score were
derived in Rome this Spring by
Thomas w. Lamont of J. P. Morgan
q w IL,
an emergency gold credit of $50 900 900.
Another American, not without i'm
portance in this connection, who also
has up-to-date information on Italian
finances, is Frank w. Stearns, Presi-
dent Coolidge's great friend and Sum
mer neighbor at Swampscott, who
was in Rome when Lamont was there.
Internal Debt Reduced.
The Italian treasury report of May
81 showed that the internal debt dur.
ing the past year was reduced about
l 800, 900. 900 liras. 1t is firmly ex.
pected that the national budget end
ing June 80 will show that it is bal
anced. Ever since Mussolini obtained
power in 1922 his efforts have been
Systematically bent in the direction of
budget-balancing. A desperate situa
ton was inherited from the regime
which the Fascist government super
seeded. and it is agreed on all hands
even by Mussolini's political foes, that
he and de Stefani have accomplished
financial miracles. But they assert
they are still far from the point where
it would be physically possible for
Italy to fund the American debt in
the form of actual liquidation.
Italians have intimated that in ad.
dition to actual debt concessions, they
would ask for special tariff rates on
their exports to the United States, in
order to facilitate the acquisition of
gold or its equivalent. Similar de-
mands are to be made of England, it
is reported. There's not likely to be
much encouragement of such expecta.
tions in Washington.

TIME RIPE FOR ACTION.
World Credit at Stake, Commerce
Body Is Told.

By the Associated Press
BRUSSELS, June 25. - John
OLeary, vice president of the Chi
cago Trust Co. and chairman of the
Chamber Of Commerce of the United
States, today told the International
Chamber of Commerce in convention
here that American business men
believe the time has come for the
settlement of the interallied debts.
"The restoration Of confidence" he
said, "lies in the assurance that all
nations will meet their financial
obligations"
He said the position taken by the
United States Government on this
question reflects the will of the
American people. He expressed re-
sentiment at statements that Amer
leans are mercenary and are seeking
to profit by the misfortunes of Eu-
rope. He said the success of the
United States is bound up in the sue
cess of Europe and the rest of the
world. and that the essential thing
everywhere is confidence.
Hits All Credits.
There can be no confidence in in
ternational business agreements" he
added, IF governments fail to recog-
niZe their obligations.
THE precedent of recognition
of governmental obligations is more
dangerous to the debtor than to the
creditor"
Mr.. OLeary said Americans be-
lieved in the Dawes plan. He de-
cried the note of pessimism which
has been heard here regarding the
plan and said the belief in the
United States Is that 1t will hasten
the worlds economic recovery. He
pointed to the stabilization of the
German mark as the first tangible
effect of the Importance coming from
the plan.
Lost by Imitation.
The people of the debtor nations in
Europe have been obliged to pay
through imitation more than they
would have paid without imitation in
direct taxes sufficient to settle their
war debts, Mr.. O'Leary asserted.
"The people of those nations" he
said, ARE now faced with greater OBJ.
legations than in 1919, and they have
| much less strength to carry the bur
den."
He said the real meaning Of the
Dawes plan has been misunderstood
and that whatever may be the diff
ferences of opinion concerning 1t, one
thing is certain. THAT it has created
machinery by Which reparations pay

Convicted Striker
Proves Frame-Up

Honolulu, Dec. pablo Manlapit,
leader of the recent strike of Filipino
plantation laborers, has presented af-
fidavits to Governor harrington that
sustain Manlapit's claim that his con-
viction was secured by "frame-up"
methods.
In an affidavit accompanying Man
lapit's plea for pardon tn chief wit
ness for the prosecution admits that
he received money at Honolulu, that
transportation to the Philippine is
lands for himself and family were paid
and that he was handed 500 on his
arrival in Manila.
This witness also swears that five
other witnesses for the government
were similarly rewarded by the Ha-
waiian Sugar Planters association "as
compensation for their testimony and
declaration we made before the courts
of the territory of Hawaii against
Pablo Manlapit, the labor leader"
Manlapit repeats former assertions
that fabricated evidence was used to
convict him and he reviews the diff
cuties of friends in securing evidence
of the conspiracy. He reminds Govern
or Harrington that important witness
SEES for the defense were hurried out
0 fHawaii and returned to the Philip
pines, even while his appeal was
pending in the supreme court. That
court then decided that his appeal was
filed lone day too late"

PrisOn-Made Goods
Most Costly Kind

New York, Dec. "a prison-made
garment may look cheap, but if you
add the price of crime to its price, 1t
is the most expensive thing on EARTH
SAYS Kate Richards O'Hare, in a state
ment released by the United Garment
Workers.
There is a never ending stream Of
uncured criminals coming from our
prisons every year, and most of them
go back again by the long expensive
and futile path of re-arrest, re-trlal,
re-sentence and re-commitment. We
do not seem to learn that if one Sc
quence of arrest, trial, sentence and
prison term does not cure, another
will be just as expensive and more
useless. All this waste of money and
human life is the price we pay for
permitting prison labor contractors to
run our penal institutions.
Every time a prison-made garment
is sold, the purchaser shoulders his
share of the responsibility.
'"The brutalities that are the very
foundation of our prison system may
crafty the old, savage instinct fol-
revenge; they may satisfy our desire
to inflict social vengeance, but they
do not reduce crime, nor do they cure
the criminal of his abnormalities. We
are face to face with the hard fact that
our prison system is punative, not
curative. Because we merely punish
the criminal, we must administer pun,
ishment again and again. Each time
the uncure dcriminal is punished We
oil gdown into our pockets for taxes
to paw the cost.

it costs taxpayers 81 800 to send eact

Crash Of Athletics Has Been
Shock Of Season

The failure of the Athletics TO so
the route has been shock TO the
thousands of fans who were pulling
for Connie Mack.
In the second division since 1914,
public opinion was strongly with
the astute and able Connie in his
surprising comeback in 1925.
No one figured the Athletics as a
pennant contender in the spring, yet
from the start OF the season until
Labor Day, the Mackmen were
strongly in the running.
True, they are not yet mathe-
matically out of the race, but the
odds are strongly against them.
Many of the baseball experts pre-
dicted the Athletics would fail in the
crisis, basing their belief merely or
