NEW YORK, July 2-Mrs. Ida
MAY Symington today was occupied
in picking up the old threads OF her
life, now that. her daily ordeal in
court is over. She had no plans for
the future except Ito be happy
again."
The trial of her husbands divorce
suit was unnecessary" she said.
She is glad that her honor was
when the charges of her
husband, Thomas M. Symington,
wealthy Baltimore sportsman, that
she was unfaithful to him. were
thrown out of court-but she is not
jubilant.
TT was SO unnecessary-this trial, :"
she said. Mr.. Symington did not
have to go TO those lengths to kill
my love for him.
Indeed, I do not think he could
have done such a thing had he been
left to himself. It's all hopelessly,
awfully tied UP with money. His
family desired it, and he was putty
in their hands,
Asked If she would consider a
reconciliation with Symington, she
replied: "Oh, / couldn't; don't even
want to talk of IT.

MINERS STUDY.
WAGE SCALE
DEMAND
Committee Recommends Flat
Increase Of 10 Per Cent
for All Workers
BY international News Service.


SCRANTON, Pa, July 2.-Con.
vening for the fourth days sessions
of the tri-district convention Of the
United Mine Workers of America,
the 700 anthracite delegates had be-
fore them today, for approval or
rejection, the final draft of the
recommendations Of the wage scale
committee.
The recommendation Of the COM
mittee, which, II approved by the
delegates, will stand as the de-
mands Of the 155. 900 miners in the
anthracite field when the present
wage scale agreement expires Au'
gust 81, include as their major
items, a flat 10 per cent increase
for all mine employees, the institu-
ton of the check off" system for
union dues collection, and an in.
crease Of 81 a day for day-shift
miners.
The first reaction of the dele
gates toward the recommendations
was of surprise, 1t appeared.
Estimates from apparently au-
thoritative sources had placed the
expected demands for an increase
at a minimum Of is per cent, with
many favoring 20 per cent. No
basis for the decision to declare
for a 10 per cent increase has been
announced.
It appeared certain today that
all of the recommendation, includ.
ing three lesser demands, would
meet with the instant approval OF
the delegates. Should any dissen-
ton at all arise, 1t IL expected TO
be over the small recommended
increase In wages.

Correspondence of the Associa ted Press.
PEK1NG, December 2S-Out of the
general unrest prevailing in China
there appears to be growing an anti
christian sentiment, which is causing
some anxiety among missionaries and
western educators
The outstanding evidences of this
growth at present are a strike of

Christianity and Christian mission

The trouble at the Yale in China
School, an institution supported in
part by funds locally raised and in
part by an appropriation from
America, appears to have been due to
opposition to inclusion of the Bible
in their curriculum on the grounds
that it was an arbitrary and unwar-

LONDON, February 4.-Unofflcial
reports declare that Great Britain s
naval estimates for the coming year

of new construction than was eX-
pected. --
Heading the list of new vessels de-
maudcd by the sea lords are eight
cruisers of 10000 tons each, and
armed with eight-inc guns three
submarines, one aircraft carrier, one
mine layer, two depot ships, two gum

Experts estimate that Great Britain
must build 54 new cruisers before

Five already are under construction
fer the royal navy and two for the
Australian navy, each costing in the
neighborhood of S7,0O0,O00.
Although the estimates may be
considerably reduced before passing
the Commons, there already exists
much dissatisfaction on the part of
the opposition parties, who feel that
the taxpayers should not be burden
ed with heavy naval expenditures
until some relief is granted by the
Dawes plan annuities.
In Liberal quarters a move is unde

the ground that if the admiralty Sc
