STRIKE LOOMS IN OHIO.

BELIAIRE, Ohio, March 20 (P).--
Ohio miners prepared today for a gen.
eral shutdown of all coal mines in the
State at the expiration of the Jack
sonville wage agreement Thursday
night.
In this section, the richest coal min
ing region in Ohio, approximately l 900
cutters expected to be out of work to-
day, 500 having left their jobs yester-
day when operators asserted no more
coal need be cut in the absence of a
wage agreement.
About $4,000 miners in the Eastern
Ohio district. which produces two
thirds of Ohios coal, have two days
left in which to clear mines and pre-
pare them for abandonment until a
new wage scale is agreed upon. They
will follow the cutters Thursday.
With the release of the cutters to-
day. no indication of compromise
was apparent. G. ]. Albasin, Bridge
port. Ohio, commissioner of the East
ern Ohio Coal Operators Association.
declared he saw no remedy; that
he believed few operators would ne
gotiate independently with miners, and
that he believed union suggestions that
district negotiations could be carried
out were highly improbable.
<. Fl. Robbins, Cleveland, president
Of the association, asserted that the
union proffer was an attempt to evade
calling a general strike and that he
felt the proposal would be "emphat-
ically rejected"
Little hope of consideration of com
promise or wage settlement was seen
in the meeting of Ohio operators In To
Iedo Thursday, in view of declarations
by officials of the association. The
Injecting was believed to be called to
consider future turns the suspension
OF work may take.

the garishness which is conspicuous
in the theater.

lives again at Polls this week. Last
night the presentation was THE

cause chuckles long after the last
scene has been struck.

last night, was a creation of beauty,

$4,000 JEWELRy
HOTEL TH|[F'SLOOT
Gifts From Royalty Taken,
/ $50, 600 Gems Ignored in
Y RitZ-Carlton.
~ the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 29.-Hand
cepped by a belated report and a com
plete absence of clues. police today
were mystified by the theft of $4,000
In jewelry from the suite of MIR. ana
Mrs. Bror G. Dahlberg of Chicago in
the fashionable Ritz Carlton Hotel.
The jewelry, which included gifts
from royalty, was fully insured and
q reward of $4,000 was offered by the
insurance company for the arrest OF
the thief or the recovery of the gems.
The robbery was reported to police
aline hours after the jewels were dis
covered missing from box in bu-
ieau drawer. The gems were stolen
apparently some time between 2 pm.
Sunday and 1:15 am. yesterday, while
the Dahlbergs were away from the
suite. Other ieWelry worth $4,000
lay in plain sight near the ritied chest
but was not taken.
Doors Found Locked.
The Dahlbergs said the doors to the
suite were locked when they left sun
day afternoon and were found that
way when they returned. Police said
indications were that the robbery was
the work of a clever professional ho-
tel thief who gained entrance to the
suite by master key.
1.-THE possibility that the thief fol-
lowed the Dahlbergs from Chicago,
where Mr.. Dahlberg is a wealthy man
= eacturaf, was under investigation.
Mrs. Dahlberg said she had brought
the jewels personally from Chicago
last Thursday and had placed them in
the dresser when no one was with
her.
Twenty-Five pieces of jewelry, in
l. . i. 80,
laid with SIS diamonds, were stolen. A
gold watch chain drop incrusted with
the royal coat-of-arms of Spain, pre-
scented to Mrs. Dahlberg by Princess
Maria de Bourbon of Spain, was
among the articles taken.
Similar to Donahue Case.
The Dahlberg case is similar to the
theft of $283,00 worth of gems from
Mrs. James p Donahue, Woolworth
heiresS, in the Plaza Hotel two years
ago. The Donahue gems We're stolen
while the owner was taking bath in
an adjoining room. The jewels were
turned over to police two weeks later
by Noel c. Scaffa, private detective,
who said he had received them from
an underworld go-between. A reward
of $4,000 was said to have been paid
the gO-between. although his identity
was never esta blished
The Ilahlbergs received wide pub
licity last Summer when a number of
anonymous letters We're received by
Chicago newspapers, after Mrs. Dahl
berg had entertained Princess Maria
of Spain. The letters Criticized Mrs
Dahlberg's hospitality motives. Mrs.
Dahlberg said at the time that she
did not know the source OF the letters
and denied she had referred to Chica-
COS gold coast society as "a washtub
aristocracy.''

D|Az TREATY OFFER
HIT BY LIBERALS
Sacasa Party in Nicaragua
Protests to Kellogg Against
"Attempted Negotiation"

The liberal faction in Nicaragua.
headed by DIR. Juan b. Sacasa, claim
ant to the presidency, has protested
TO Secretary of State Kellogg against
the treaty President Diaz has attempt.
ed to negotiate with the United
States.
In registering protest, in official
form, the Liberals through DR.. r.. S.
Vaca, their representative here, pre-
scented to Secretary Kellogg COM
munication objecting to "the applica-
ton of the proposed DiaZ pact or of
its provisions, with or without formal
treaty"
Disclaims Empty Pose"
The attitude of the government,
headed by DIR. Sacasa," he added. 'is
not an empty pose of antagonism in
this matter, but a necessary per-
Torrance of it's duty and challenge
before the American nations that the
principles of democracy and self-de-
termination upon which the United
States came into being are not fic-
titious dreams of the past, but the
right minded concern and the serious
business of it's government.
At another point in his protest.
DR. Vaca said:
Informal reports given by officials
If the State Department to the
newspapers convey the impression
that the State Department. at least
for the time being. is not going TO
act upon this proposition.
Prior Undertaking" Cited.
But. in the past. undertakings of
the same nature have been inforced
upon the people of Nicaragua with
out the official approval and even
against the expressed dissent of the
representative branches of the
United States Government.
The Castrillo- Knox convention of
1911 was twice rejected by the SEN
ate of the United States; nevertheless
its terms have been inforced in Mica :
ragua since 1911, with the consent
of the State Department. Besides,
everybody conversant with the whole
Nicaraguan affair knows that when
such proposals are advanced by the
Diaz government, it is because they
have already met with certain
amount of unofficial approval"
