PRINTERS ACCEPT WAGE
CONTRACT FOR 3 YEARS
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Ga, September 3D.
Union printers on three Atlanta news
papers yesterday accepted proposal
Of publishers that present wage scales
be maintained, and voted to renew a
contract on that basis for three years.
The contracts are to be signed today.
w. 8. Griffin of the Constitution COM
posing room and a member of the At
lanta typographical Union, No. 48,
praised the publishers for their action.
"It shows" he said, that the pub
fishers are practicing what they preach
don't cut wages"
Clark Howell, publisher of the Con-
stitution, said: The willingness of At
lanta publishers to continue a wage
scale originally negotiated at time Of
unparalleled prosperity should speak for
itself. I think it proves that Atlanta s
newspapers honestly practice what they
preach in urging employers to maintain
wages and in forecasting early better
ment of conditions. 1t also demon
strates the existence of a fine spirit of
cooperation between employers and
employees"

SCHENCK TO REMAIN
IN DISTRICT JAIL
Commissioners See No Need for
Expense of Return to Kansas
Pending Quiz.

Frederick A. Schenck, FORMER WASH
ington policeman, who was brought here
from Leavenworth prison to give tssti-
mony on the alleged framing" of Or
vile Staples ana in connection with
third degree charges, will be held in
definitely at the District jail pending
his Temperance before the grand
jury.
The District Commissioners said to-
day they could see no reason why he
should be returned to Leavenworth and
then brought back to Washington for
his next appearance before the grand
jury. Since the District is paying for
his board, they said, the extra expense
of railway tare might just as well be
saved.
Commissioner Herbert B. Crosby said
today he contemplated no further steps
in the third degree investigation until
after the grand jury, whose previous
findings have been thrown out because
of the disqualification Of one juror,
again makes its report.

Maj. Donald A. Dawson, Acting En-
gineer Commissioner, held two confer
ences today on controversial matters
involved in the wages to be paid by con-
tractors on municipal contracts, follow
ing which he announced he expected
almost immediately to be able to
formulate for the consideration of the
District Commissioners standard wage
scale satisfactory to all"
The situation appeared to have been
brought to e. head today after the re-
ceipt last week of a letter from Secre-
tary of Labor Doak suggesting to the
Commissioners that the union wage
scale in the District be adopted as the
prevailing scale" to be paid on munic-
ipal projects.
District officials, as on Saturday. de-
clined to discuss Secretary Doak;s let
ter, or even admit it had been re-
ceived. Maj. Dawson said 1t was cor
rect that the chairman of the board,
DR.. Luther H. Reichelderfer, had no
knowledge of the letter being sent. end
he himself said he would neither deny
nor affirm that such letter had been
received.
1t was learned. however, that the
letter was not directed to the District
commissioners, but to Maj. H. L. Pobb,
one OF the Assistant Engineer Commits
Sioners.
Maj. Dawson admitted he had been
repeatedly in conference ON the wage
question with officials of the Labor De-
partment for long time" He held
two meetings this morning with con-
tract officers on various building jobs, at
which, he said, the wage question was
thoroughly discussed, with the result
that he expected to formulate definite
scale almost Immediately.

wendell CLAIMANT
FILES WILL SUIT
Miss Rosa D. Stansbury, "a,
Seeks to Break TeSta-
ment for Riches.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, September ga suit
to break the will of the late Ella Wen
del, who left most of the Wendell mil
lions to charity, was filed in United
States District Court today by Arthur
Garfield Hayes and Samuel Untermyer
on behalf of Rosa Dew Stansbury, "a,
of Vicksburg, Miss, relative in the
fifth degree.
Federal Judge Francis G. Caffey
granted a temporary restraining order
enjoining probate of the will upon the
filing of nominal bond.
Miss Stansbury charges that undue
influence and restraint were brought
to- bear upon Miss Wendell; states that
she was eccentric; that two of her
sisters died in insane asylums and
that two others we're eccentric, and
points to the fact that about half the
estate was left to the Methodist
Church, although, the complaint states,
Miss Wendell took little interest in the
church and showed an aversion to
missions.
The complaint set forth that the
property of the estate in New York is
worth $49,000,000 and that the total
value of the estate, including proper
ties in Westchester County, Is more
than $75,000,000
In her complaint Mrs. Stansbury
charges that Charles G.. KoSs, executor
and attorney for the estate, with his law
partners, unnamed, had power of at
torney before Miss Wendell'S death,
signed her checks, managed her prop
erty without her aid or advice, opened
her mail, and refused to permit her
relatives to see her.
Koss, his daughter Isabelle, who was
beneficiary under the will, and George
Stanley Shirk, as executors, are named
as defendants in the complaint.
The complaint charges undue infiu-
ence was brought to bear upon Miss
Wendell by Koss, his daughter and by
other persons ct present unknown"
The will was set down today for pro-
bate on January rs,
Until that date directors to the pro-
bate Or claimants to a share through
relationship may file their contests,
which may become numerous, as Miss
Wendel's family is traced directly back
to the seventeenth century In Denmark
and had many branches.
The application for the probate Of her
will was made by Charles G.. Koss, an
executor. The basis of his application
was waiver of citation signed by Rosa
Dew Stansbury of Vicksburg, Miss,
whom koss declares is the only next of
kin to Miss Wendell who could be found
after six-month search.

gree" methods. returned from work the

hose.

of East Capitol street, was arraigned

Mrs. Michael declared her husband
attacked her with the hose Friday
night The husband countered that
'the boot was on the other foot" He
had had the hose in hand while lectur-
ing his spouse about going out every
night" and was using it to emphasize
the remarks which he particularly
wanted her to understand by striking II
on a chair, he told Judge Schuldt.
One of the blows knocked the hose
from his hand and the wife picked il
up and beat him, he said. Then, he
said, she threw the hose away and
grabbed hairbrush, administering an
other beating with it.
An examination of Mrs. Michaels
body by a woman attache Of the court
was ordered by Judge Schuldt and re-
suited in the conviction of the hus-
band. There were numerous bruises on
the woman's back, she told the judge.

when one standard of the worlds
currencies begins to fluctuate," he said,
referring to the British gold standard,
1T is difficult to foresee the conse-
quences and, therefore, even more Inn
portant for governments to steer q
steady course. Germany has embarked
on O program of defiation and must
stick to it. Germany's currency must
be held firm."
The recent events in England may
encourage those who favor watering"
the currency, said the chancellor, but
Il must not be forgotten that Great
Britain is still immensely stronger than
Germany. A poor country must be a
cheap country, and If requirements and
prices can be developed in this direction
the results achieved on a solid basis
will be better than those which might
be obtained temporarily through dislo-
cation Of the currency standard"

COLORADO STRIVING TO REVIVE
GHOST CITIES OF SILVER BOOM
Campaign for demonstration is Carried
On by Banks and Merchants Urging
More Use of White Metal.

Silver Is seldom found in the pure
state. It is mixed with copper, lead,
zinc and other metals. Colorado mines
can produce silver for As cents an
ounce. Hence, with the metal on a
commodity basis, it cannot be mined
with profit while selling at from IS
to 80 cents an ounce.
It was gold that first lured men to
Colorado's mountains. but 1t was silver
which kept them there. The places
which are now but collections of ruined
buildings were really cities then.
Leadville, with the production of
millions Of dollars in fine silver in
1878, escorted King Silver into his own.

dreds won fortunes in the camps. When
Central City, booming mine center, en-
tertalned President Grant, q pavement
OF silver was laid for him to tread.
Only Best Mines Remain.
Then came 1893 and the repeal OF
the Sherman silver purchase act. Only
the richest mines, producing the purest
silver, survived. Better machinery was
available, but 1t was costly. Slowly the
dfe flowed out of the camps.
Burros came down from the hills
to Craze and to wander undisturbed
through costly hotels, theaters and
homes.
Labor costs went up. Silver went
down: Bloody labor fights fastened
the doom OF silver. A brief flash OF
prosperity came during the World war
and then, in 1924, England began melt
ing silver coinage and remintinr il
with silver content of As per cent less.
King silver passed from the picture.
Coloradans see in Englandis renunci-
alton OF the gold standard a hope for
demonstration. They see a hope that
with silver as money, vast trade with
China and India may be opened. They

DENVER, Colo, September 28.-
With more at stake than any other
American State, Colorado is striving
nightly to have something done about
the silver situation.
Dozens Of ghost cities, abandoned and
ruined, testify to the wealth that once
poured from Colorado's mines, and
for the day when silver may again be
mined profitably.
England'S temporary suspension OF the
gold standard has given new life 10 the
ghost camps which lie deep within the
mountains. 1t is only a breath, how
ever. and the burros still Craze undis-
turbed in the main streets and pine
trees still grow up in broken pavements.
As a part OF the campaign to re-
monetize silver Colorado merchants
and banks are insisting on the use of
silver dollars to the exclusion of paper
bank notes, behind which there Is no
silver reserve.
Paper Money Scarce.
"Use more silver dollars" Is the
slogan. Colorado residents are urged to
demand their change in silver. Paper
money Is daily becoming more scarce
as the movement grows.
Silver bars are displayed in bank
and store windows and residents, as a
matter of civic duty as well as for in
vestment, are urged to buy. The BIZ
metalists' Association, headed by Frank
Cannon, former United States Senator
from Utah, is hammering. for q world
conference on the metal.
United States Senator William H
King of Utah is demanding a world
conference in which China and India
will participate, to do something about
the reconciliation Of silver
Old-timers in the mines are sure that
silver Is coming back, but say 1t has q
long way to come. They agree re-
monetization of the metal on q fair
ratio to gold would open Colorado's
mines.
