The bitterness of the contest is reflected in the grave charges that have been made. Mr. Pepper asserts that both Governor Pinchot and Mr. Vare have been guilty of fraud in lining up blocks of voters. He is especially bitter in denouncing Mr. Vare as the perpetrator of various irregularities in connection with his campaign. Four hundred thousand Republicans are registered for the primary tomorrow. With the organization vote split into three factions, it is certain that the Independents, rather than the machine Republicans, will decide the contest. There is also a gubernatorial primary, but the public has almost lost sight of it because of the great battle for the Senatorship. Mr. John H. Fisher, former Banking Commissioner, is favored to win the candidature for the Governorship, but former Governor Tener is not far behind him in the forecasts. Representative Thomas W. Phillips, jr., former Lieutenant Governor Beidleman, Mr. Philip H. Dewey and Mr. Frank P. Croft are the other candidates. RADIO COMPANY IN COURT FEDERAL Receiver Requested for the De Forest Corporation. (Paris Times Radio) WILMINGTON, Delaware, Monday. — Hearings begin here today before a Federal Court on the question whether a receiver for the De Forest Radio Company shall be appointed. Application for such a court order was made last month by counsel representing Mr. Lee De Forest, the inventor, and Mr. William S. Priess, also of New York. The bill alleges mismanagement and asks for an accounting. The amount of money involved is not specified.

Colonial American Uniforms Dazzle at Paris War Shrine Eighteenth Century Comes to Life as Militiamen Lay Wreath for Unknown Soldier. Taking one hundred and fifty years or so from history, five hundred visiting American color guards turned the Champs-Élysées into an old color print this morning on their march to the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Cutting out a troubled century and a half did not seem such a bad idea as the Unions of scarlet and blue marched up the broad avenue with bands playing and plumes waving in the breeze. It was the first official public appearance in Paris of the three historical American regiments which have come on a ceremonial visit to Europe. Preceded by a guard of honor composed of the 1st Company of the 5th French Infantry, the American guardsmen marched from the Tuileries Garden, where they mustered, to the Arc de Triomphe. They were in the famous dress uniforms, some of which date from pre-Revolution days. First came, the New Haven company of the Governor’s Foot Guards, of Connecticut, with the hand, in their scarlet tunics and gold braid, with monumental husbands, white breeches and black velvet gaiters, followed by the Hartford company, in a similar uniform with buff breeches. Next in line was the Putnam Phalanx in three-cornered hats and uniforms of George Washington’s army, which caused several French onlookers to exclaim: “It’s Lafayette.” The Richmond Light Infantry Blues, of Virginia, followed them, preceded by their Veterans’ Corps in uniforms resembling naval dress. The regiment wears a West Point-like blue uniform, with waving white cockades and white epaulettes, and the tall, lanky Virginians contrasted with the burlier Yankees, whose build seemed to fit their Georgian finery. The Blues, mostly young, spare fellows, and march with an erect and precise bearing. “They march well,” said one

Traffic in the Place de l’Étoile was temporarily stopped as the column reached the Arch. The officers and guards of honor of the three regiments formed about the grave of the Unknown Soldier, and a prayer was said by the Rev. Daniel Strickland, of the New Haven company, a former line officer of the 102nd Infantry during the war. A wreath was laid on the tomb by representatives of each of the three regiments, while the troops stood at the salute and the band played the “Marseillaise” and “The Star-Spangled Banner.” General Chapelle and General Gouraud represented the French Government at the ceremony, and there were representatives present of all the American organizations in Paris. Some five thousand onlookers crowded the approaches to the Arc de Triomphe. The Américains marched back to the Union Interalliée immediately after the ceremony at the Arch and the Champs-Élysées again resounded to military music. Marshal Foch offered the visitors a reception, at the club, in conjunction with the committee of

The American Ambassador, General Berthelot, and other prominent French officials and members of the American colony attended, and the soldiers relieved the fatigue of their march with champagne and titbits in the garden. Marshal Foch, the Ambassador and Colonel John A. Cutchins, in command of the visiting regiments, spoke. The Americans will be received this afternoon at 5 p.m. by the American Ambassador at the Embassy, and tomorrow they will visit the sights of Paris.

RAOUL PERET MINES HOLD STRIKE FORT IN RAINBOW Refuse to Work Is General in All Principal Industries Today. (Paris Times Spécial) LONDON, Monday.—The last echoes of the general strike are drowned today by the tramp of workers back to their duties. The business of getting back to normal conditions has now begun in earnest, and the fortnight of industrial upheaval takes its place as another chapter in history. Only one large body of workers is now holding out, and it is likely to hold the strike fort for some days at least, for until the coal negotiations are resumed the miners will remain idle. All other industries are rapidly getting into their stride so far as fuel conditions will allow, and by the middle of the week there should be few outward signs to indicate that the country has undergone a grave crisis. There was great activity in Fleet Street at mid-day, when the first normal editions of the evening papers made their appearance. The first copies were eagerly bought by the public, which had been without proper newspapers for a fortnight. The proprietors and unions have now agreed to terms, and all morning papers are expected to appear as usual tomorrow. Dockers Return, Work was also resumed at all docks, an agreement having been signed providing against lightning strikes in the future. Services are still only half normal on the main railway lines, but the full number of trains are expected to be running before the end of the week. Suburban bus, train and Tube services are running to schedule with few exceptions. These exceptions are due to the shortage of power which still exists at the power station

Suburban bus, train and Tube services are running to schedule with few exceptions. These exceptions are due to the shortage of power which still exists at the power station at Chelsea, owing to depletion of fuel stocks. The miners’ representatives are still engaged in considering the Government’s new proposals for a basis on which negotiations should be opened with the owners. They were unable to come to any decision before their conference broke up on Saturday, as there are several points which they require to elucidate before committing themselves. The Executive is in touch with the Government for this purpose, and the views of different districts are being obtained, so that the delegates will be in a better position to decide their course of action when the conference is resumed on Thursday. If, and when, negotiations are reopened, they will be presided over by the Prime Minister. It is assumed that once the discussions begin the miners will return to work. Should the delegates find themselves unable to agree to a resumption of negotiations, it is considered highly probable that a general ballot of the coalfields will be taken to test the feeling of the bench. The question of the cost to the nation of the general strike is likely to be touched upon by the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he moves the second reading of the Finance

The question of the cost to the nation of the general strike is likely to be touched upon by the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he moves the second reading of the Finance Bill in Parliament on Wednesday. Figures at the moment are rather vague, but it is not expected that the taxpayer will be called upon to pay as heavily as was at first anticipated. Fresh taxation is improbable, since the strike collapsed unexpectedly earlier than had been foreseen, and also because a great bulk of the Government’s emergency work has been carried out by unpaid volunteers. Conditions Recalled—Sack of France Would Réviser Loan Arrangement (Paris Times Spécial) LORD, Monday.—The first meeting in resumed negotiations for seulement of the French war debt in Great Britain is set for this afternoon at five o’clock. At that hour, M. Raoul Péret, the French Minister of Finance, who is in London for the purpose, will begin his conferences with Mr. Winston Churchill, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Each negotiator will be aided by experts. Later it is intended to divide the proceedings into three sections, each of which will deal with one aspect of the question. "Safeguard” a Problem. As in the Caillaux and Béranger negotiations in Washington, the French request for a “safeguard” clause presents the principal problem before M. Péret and Mr. Churchill.

As in the Caillaux and Béranger negotiations in Washington, the French request for a “safeguard” clause presents the principal problem before M. Péret and Mr. Churchill. According to a semi-official prediction made here today, the British Government will not agree to have French payments on the war debt determined by or made contingent upon German reparation annuities. At the same time, it is suggested that Britain may follow the American example by agreeing that French payments, in case of financial difficulties, may be postponed for a fixed period, if they bear interest. During his visit here last August on a similar mission, M. Caillaux secured a tentative basis of settlement in conference with Mr. Churchill. It provided for sixty-two annual payments of £12,500,000 each, representing a reduction of about 60 percent in the nominal amount of the obligation. This nominal amount is £623,000,000, including accrued interest. Great Britain, however, was to receive interest on the same proportionate amount from France as the United States, which has since settled for 50 percent. French and British officials express today their confidence that an arrangement can be reached at this time, especially since France is already paying a provisional £4,000,000 a year on account. But apart from the question of “safeguard,” difficulties may be encountered when there arises the matter of the Bank of England loan to the Bank of France. No great trouble is expected in arranging for

But apart from the question of “safeguard,” difficulties may be encountered when there arises the matter of the Bank of England loan to the Bank of France. No great trouble is expected in arranging for France a part moratorium during the first few years of a settlement, as well as a transfer mechanism, designed to protect the franc. These also are conditions which were laid down by M. Caillaux and to which the French Government has adhered firmly. It is probable that the representatives here of the two Banks will not meet before tomorrow to discuss the portion of the debt question which concerns them directly. Because of its importance, it will be handled first by M. Péret and Mr. Churchill this afternoon. Révision Opposed. According to an authoritative report current here today, Mr. Montagu Norman, Governor of the Bank of England, is opposed to any revision of the contract which that institution has with the Bank of France. M. Aupetit, the Secretary-General of the Bank of France and one of M. Péret’s principal advisers, is to ask that the interest rate now being paid—6 percent.—be made easier and to point out that the loan was secured by a large deposit of gold which Great Britain is holding. Although no official word on the subject is to be had, the belief here is that M. Péret will take the opportunity of his visit here to

Although no official word on the subject is to be had, the belief here is that M. Péret will take the opportunity of his visit here to open negotiations for a new loan to France. This is indicated by despatches from Paris, which add that conferences to this end which he had with American bankers in that city were not successful. The loan would be used, this report says, as an addition to the famous Morgan credit in operations against speculators trying to drive down the franc. It is therefore likely that the next few days will see further discussion of the project advanced by Mr. Norman providing for a sort of supreme financial council on such matters, with its headquarters in London, and composed of delegates from the banks of issue in France, England, Germany, and the United States. The idea has been received coolly in France. EXPORT DUTY HIGHER French Government Attempts to Keep Foodstuffs in Country. In order to reduce the exportation of foodstuffs to high-exchange countries, thus increasing prices in France, the French Government has increased the ad valorem export duty on certain commodities in demand in England and Germany. Eggs, which pay 40 percent export duty; butter, 25 percent; cheese, 25 percent; fresh rabbit, 20 percent; dried rabbit, 30 percent; poultry, 30 percent.

The Premier is the only member who has taken his portfolio, all the others being afraid of General Chang Tso-lin, who menaces the city. There is no general policy outlined and all groups fear treachery. The gloomy condition of affairs is without precedent.
