u. S. TO ACT IF COAL
STRIKE is ORDERED

Swampscott, Mass.-While hoping
that a strike in the anthracite fields
will be averted, President Coolidge
and Secretary Davis determined upon
program to be pursued in case of an
emergency.
Secretary Davis called at White
Court to confer with the Executive on
pending development of labor problems
prior to visit to Europe. The con-
versatiOn centered on the anthracite
coal field wage agreement now pend
ing.
Mr.. Davis declared that though two
representatives of the Department of
Labor were taking part in the negotia-
tons, If strike developed the govern
ment was ready to take hand. What
part the government would play in the
possible strike was not disclosed.
The secretary made it known, how
ever, that he would return to this
country on August %, six days before
the present wage agreement between
the anthracite coal operators and the
miners expired.

LOOK FOR SPECIAL
CONGRESS SESSION

hington.-President Coolidge will
be forced to call special session of
congress to afford public relief should
the anthracite miners go on strike
September l, as now seems inevitable,
in the opinion of government experts
now studying the situation
The President gave intimations of
such step at Swampscott when he
referred to the possibility of resorting
to recommendations made by the
United States coal commission as d
means of breaking up strikes at the
mines.
Congressional approval, however,
will be necessary before they can be
put into effect.
Kept secret until now as ian ace
in the hole" against such a situation,
these recommendations would give the
President authority to declare a ma
tional emergency and order the miners
back to work pending a settlement of
the strike.
The President would also have the
power to punish operators or miners
for conspiracy against the general
welfare"

SHEPHERD DENIED
RIGHT TO MILLION
Chicago Judge Refuses to
Admit McClintock's
Will to Probate.

Chicago. = Probate Judge Henry
Horner ruled, in effect, that William
Darling Shepherd is not heir to the
$1,000,000 estate of William Nelson
McClintock.
The court refused to admit the will
to probate. The judge ruled that the
will-which figured in the trial Of
Shepherd on a charge of having killed
McClintock with typhoid germs-was
presumed to have been obtained by
the use of undue influence" on Shep-
herds part. Or, more specifically, that
the charge of undue influence had not
been disproved. This ruling, barring
reversal in higher courts, makes the
cousins of McClintock heirs to the
$1,000,O00.
Gives Notice of Appeal.
Attorney Weymouth Kirkland, rep
resenting Shepherd, asked an appeal,
which was allowed and which will be
heard in the Circuit court. The pro-
ceedings there will be an attempt on
Shepherds part to convince the court
he did not use undue influence In hav-
Ing McClintock sign a will two days
after his twenty-first birthday.
If the Circuit court decision af-
firms Judge Horner's finding, Shep-
herd will appeal undoubtedly. If the
Circuit court decides the will must
be admitted to probate, Orville j.
Taylor, attorney for the cousins, will
appeal, he said. If the Supreme court
then rules as Judge Horner did,
Shepherd will have no further re-
course.
Taxes Total 100000.
If, on the other hand, the Supreme
court decides the will shall be pro-
bated, McClintock's cousins will have
the opportunity to start new and, per-
haps, prolonged litigation.
Even if Shepherd ultimately defeats
the cousins he then must face the
contest by Miss Isabelle Pope, who
was McClintock's fiancee. Attorney
J. ]. Healy addressed the court in her
behalf. He referred to her as the
Equitable widow" Her claim is for
the portion of the estate which would
have become hers If Shepherd had
not prevented her marriage to Nc
ClintOck
Mr.. Healy said Miss Pope and the
contesting heirs had joined forces
against Shepherd.
1t was pointed out that the federal
and state taxes on the estate will
amount to 100000, leaving only
100000 for whoever wins in the
courts.

Swampscott, Mass.-The imperative

President Coolidge by Senator Fred
Hale (Rep., Maine), chairman of the

'We ought to have naval base on
the Pacinc coast comparable to Nor
folk on the Atlantic" the senator said.
1--WE have no adequate base there
now, as our fleet has outgrown Mare
island. l am in favor of the estab-
lishment of real base at Alameda
without abandoning Mare island, which
can still be used for subsidiary pur-
poSes."

Bryan's Belief in Bible.
The closing scenes of the trial de-
velOped bitter word duel between
William Jennings Bryan and Clarence
DarrOw on the literal acceptance of
such Bible stories as the creation,
Jonah and the whale, Adam and Eve,
and their temptation and fall.
Mr.. Bryan willingly submitted to
questions along this line for the first
time in the two years he has been
leading the fundamentals movement.
At times he Gas white with anger. His
attitude toward the entire series of
questions may be summed up in his
statement that 81 believe the Bible alb
solutely as 1t stands"
Furnishing Eden's Snake.
In reply to direct questions from Mr..
DarrOw, he said he believed implicitly
that Eve was the first woman, that
she was made from Adams rib and
that the snake was compelled to crawl
on its belly because it tempted Eve.
barrow asked him where Cain got
his wife; Bryan replied he did not
know.
If the sun stood still, as Joshua CON-
manded ii, he said, he was not afraid
that the world would come to an end,
but said God would take care of us.
God sent the pains of childbirth TO
women through all the ages because of
the transgression of Eve.
He could easily believe that the God
who made the earth and the universe
could make a fish big enough to swaI-
low Jonah, and overcome all natural
laws.
When All Life Ended.
He believes fully that all-mankind
and animals-WhO were outside the
ark were drowned in the flood
In only one point did Mr.. Bryan in
dictate even the slightest doubt. The
seven days of creation might not have
been literally seven days of twenty
four hours each, but seven periods of
time, the length not specified.
What he could not understand he ac-
cepted with a simple faith, not pre-
tending to understand all that was in
the minds of those who wrote the
Bible, but taking it from cover TO
cover as the word of God and the
revealed religion"
