 Plan to Avoid All Wars

Washington, Mar. 31 Rt-France today asserted her readiness to sub init to the German, British, Italian and Japanese governments all the Franco American anti-War Corres- pondence, along with the draft of a general treaty pledging them not to resort to war.
 The purpose of these submissions, as outlined in a note handed to Secretary Kellogg by Amba ssa d or Claudel would be that the four gov ernments might join in seeking, in the spirit and in the letter of the last American note, any adjust ments which in the last analysis may be forthcoming with respect to the possibility of reconciling previous obligations with the terms of the contemplated treaty"

SOFT COAL RATES
 ARE CUT I5 CENTS
Freight Charges to New England
 Are Ordered Lowered

Washington. March Sl R-Rates on bltumlnous coal suitable for household fuel from Pennsylvania producing territory to principal New England points today were ordered reduced by l , cents per ton by the interstate commerce commission.
 Al the same time lower rates were prescribed to eastern territory on bituminous coal from southern mining districts.
 The commissions order resulted from an attempt to fix rates of low volatile types of bituminous coal which compete with anthracite. The Cleartield district of Pennsylvania was declared 10 be the typical source of low volatile coal in north trn territory. The decision held that from this field to all points in New England states the present rate Of S3.12 Der ton, which applies 10 near ly all New England and cities eX- cept seaports, should be cut ] , cents Der ton. The decision held that the rates on coal from the Cumberland Piedmont district in Maryland and West Virginia to Baltimore for ship transportation should be cut from S2.59 per ton to s2.4G per ton.
 It was held by the commission that in the interests of New Eng hnd and Atlantic seaboard con- sumers, railroads should give joint rates to that territory from Wes. Virginia, eastern Kentucky and Virginia mines.
 Such a rate system from south ern territory was first put into ef- feet during the anthracite strike several years ago, and allowed to expire after the emergency had passed.
 To guide the roads, they were ordered to establish charges to all New Haven railroad destinations which were established during the emergency. To all points on the Boston and Albany, Maine Central Rutland, and Central Vermont railroads, the joint rates prescribed were s2.l0 above the rate 10 these destinations from the Clearticld district
 A number of other standards for he construction Of he joint rates were also laid down and railroads Were ordered to make them effec- tive by June 5, 1928.
 The commission ruled there was no reason for altering existing rates on soft coal from mines in Pennsylvania, Maryland and north west Virginia 10 New York or Philadelphia, where such shipment are intended for further transpor- tation.
 \ special set of rates from the Coal river district in West Virginia 10 destinations in northern New York was also laid down. Under it's terms, the charge to Syracuse from Coal river may be $5.o7 per ton, to Albany s5.60 per ton, to Glen Falls $a.S7, to Utica $5.20 and to Geneva S4.33. Carriers will be expected tc arrange rates to other destinations in the territory in proportion to the charges for the key cities.

 Shooting By Dry Agents
 The shooting by dry agents Thurs day night of William Beatty, muni- cipal court bailiff and worker for the Mayor Thompson-State's Attorney Grove republicans, has been follow cd by Beatty's indictment by fed eral grand jury on charge of re- .isting an officer. The Beatty case ilh'' piouSht lCoCIol anu pollNC aug thorities into apparent conflict, due to the action of the raiding agents in preventing police from interfer- ing after Beatty had been shot dur ing a saloon raid.
 Both Mayor Thompson and his police commissioner Michael Hughes. took stand against what they be- lieve to be high handed tactics em- ployed by the raiding federal men.
 Police indicated they planned to ask warrants against the federal men for shooting Beatty. who is re- covering from his wounds. The commissioner said he would see that less of any attempt on the part of the federal men to resist service"
 Mayors Charge
 Mayor Thompson charged the shooting of Beatty to 'rhe Deneen crowd'-the republican faction, Ncaded by United States Senator De- noen, which is opposing Thompson candidates at the primaries.
 The federal government can't shoot down citizens in Chicago and get away with it." the mayor said.
 Commissioner Hughes answered Deneen group criticism of crime con- ditions in Chicago under the Thomp- son administration by declaring that mp to late yesterday there had been no major crime reported to the po- lico for 24 hours, unless you call the shooting of a court bailiff by federal officers a crime"
 The commissioner was particular ly angry over treatment of his men by federal agents at the scene of the Beatty shooting.
 T want to know" he said, whether a bunch of gun-toting toughs can come into Chicago and shoot an unarmed man and then tell the police department to go chase itself"
 In an interview with the Asoci- ated Press Mayor Thompson enum- crated the city's virtues and declar- cd that crime has been greatly re- duced under his administration.
 We have the best health record of any big city. We have the most wonderful park. playground and school system for children. We have wonderful industries. and they are growing. Business is good in Chica- go and getting better" he said.
