SUBWAY DOOR CATCHES GIRL BUT DRESS TEARS (Paris Times Special) LONDON, Saturday.—A young girl was saved from death this morning when her dress gave way after catching in an automatic door of a London underground railway car at the Belsize Park station of the Hampstead line. With a girl companion, she attempted to dash from the car at the last moment. The door caught her dress and dragged her for fifty yards. She collapsed, but was only slightly injured.

The important fact for the Republican Party to remember, the President points out, is that the Representatives were the only Congressional group chosen by the country as a whole, and in this group, the Republican Party is still master. Therefore, the country is still Republican in its sympathies. President Looks To 1928. Everything here points to the intention of President Coolidge to seek re-election in 1928. He refuses to indicate what his intentions are, but he has said almost with insistence that Senator William M. Butler, defeated for re-election in Massachusetts, should retain his post as Chairman of the Republican National Committee. Senator Butler announced on Tuesday, after his defeat by Senator Walsh was apparent, that he would resign the chairmanship. He was President Coolidge’s campaign manager in 1924 and by his efforts to keep him in the powerful post of National Chairman, it is presumed that the President expects to have further need of him in 1928. Moreover, President Coolidge is moving party principles to a position where they will be appreciated by great numbers of voters. He said yesterday that he sees no reason why a Treasury surplus of $250,000,000 for this year cannot be returned to payers of income-tax in the form of a rebate of 10 or 12 percent. This step would be a concrete reminder to the public that the Republican programme of rigid economy is a

This step would be a concrete reminder to the public that the Republican programme of rigid economy is a fact and not a theory, and it would undoubtedly have an added effect in connection with the announcement yesterday by Mr. Martin B. Madden, of Illinois, Republican Chairman of the Appropriations Committee of the House of Representatives, that income-tax reductions of $300,000,000 to $400,000,000 may be made. Smith Welcomed in Albany. Apart from a simple expression of regret that his personal friend, Senator Butler, was not returned from Massachusetts, the President has made no comment upon the trend of the election elsewhere, or upon the glowing success of the man who may be his Democratic rival in 1928 — Governor Alfred Smith, of New York. The President, however, yesterday read newspapers describing the enthusiastic welcome given to Governor Smith by thousands of persons in Albany when he arrived there during the afternoon. An impromptu parade was formed in his honor and he left his automobile to walk at the head of it, bowing and smiling at hundreds of personal friends. The shake-up in the composition of the Senate will mean a reorganization of several of the important committees. The ranking members in most cases are Republicans, however, so that the losses in committees will not be severe. Senator David A.

Watson, Republican, of Indiana is the ranking member, but he will probably not give up the chairmanship of the Interstate Commerce Committee. The chairmanships of the Indian Affairs Committee and of the Public Land and Surveys Committee must be filled, because of the defeat of Senator John W. Harreld and Senator Robert N. Stanfield. California Slightly Dry. The latest returns indicate that California has gone Dry by a narrow margin of about 30,000 votes.

NEW DRY FORMULA HITS BOOTLEGGERS WASHINGTON. — Bootleggers who re-distill "anti-freeze" mixtures and other forms of denatured alcohol, producing a product said as a beverage in violation of the Prohibition Law, are expected to find it difficult, if not impossible, in the future to continue such processes as a result of action taken by Mr. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury. Upon the advice of chemists of the Prohibition Unit, the Secretary has approved a new formula for denaturing alcohol, which contains a malodorous substance obnoxious to taste and smell. In consequence, Prohibition enforcement officials believe that, after the first of the year, nostrils throughout the country will quiver and turn away from illegally recovered alcoholic beverages.

(Paris Times Special) LONDON, Saturday.—Both in Parliamentary and Labor circles a feeling of optimism continues concerning the possibility of an early end to the coal dispute. It is generally agreed that the door to peace is now as wide open as it has been at any period during the dispute, and that the miners will not follow their recent tactical failures by closing it or allowing it to be closed. Admittedly, obstacles are likely to be discovered, but it is believed that they will be overcome by pressure from the Trade Union Congress. There was a full meeting of the Cabinet this morning to consider the proposals laid before it by the mediators from the Congress. When they were empowered by the executive of the Miners’ Federation and the delegates from the coalfields to meet the Prime Minister and to lay before him the acceptance of the district agreements basis for negotiations, they also agreed to a reconsideration of wages and hours. The only stipulation that is insisted upon is the retention of some form of national semblance to the agreements and the signing of a national document embodying them. Meetings Continue. This afternoon representatives of the Government met the coal-owners and placed before them the new proposals. There was some discussion, but the outcome of the meeting is not yet made known.

This afternoon representatives of the Government met the coal-owners and placed before them the new proposals. There was some discussion, but the outcome of the meeting is not yet made known. In addition to the meeting of the Cabinet there have been several other conferences today between the various parties concerned in the dispute. Representatives of the Trade Union Congress have visited the executive of the miners and members of the Government. After one of these meetings Mr. Citrine, secretary of the Congress, said: “The Trade Union Congress has accomplished its task, which was to reopen negotiations on a solid and practical basis. The issue now rests with the miners.” The Prime Minister is remaining in London for the weekend. The one outstanding point which remains to be settled is whether the Government will now legislate to compel the owners to submit local agreements to a national arbitration board. The several instances that have brought about the changed attitude in the miners are the pressure brought to bear upon them by other workers in the country and the fact that even if they carry on the fight for a further period, they must inevitably be beaten by economic circumstances. Militant Action Ends. In Labor circles generally, it has been remarked that the program of militant action and the "council of war" which were established by Comrade Cook and his executive, some weeks ago, have come to nothing. Of all the threatening moves that were planned,

Of all the threatening moves that were planned, not one has succeeded. True, the miners have obtained a form of levy from the Trade Union Congress, but it is well known that it was granted only to save their faces and to avoid compromising their position should attempts be made at negotiations for peace. The fact that this levy is a voluntary one shows that it is little more than a gesture. The drive to bring the working miners out of the pits failed completely and there are more men working today than ever. The attempt to call out the safety men was abandoned when their attitude was made known. Riotous picketing has finished in all but a few isolated strongholds of the extremists and the request for an embargo on the handling of coal by other union men met with a curt refusal. An example is the agreement between the Federation of Shipyard Owners and their employees. It is agreed that the lesson to be learned from the coal dispute is one that must be adopted in order to avoid such disputes in the future. The owners and men decided that, in the case of any dispute, the matter will be given a long and exhaustive examination

EUROPE ASKS INTERVENTION FOR ITALIANS Messages urge President Coolidge to save lives of Sacco and Vanzetti. EXECUTION NOT NEAR Communists will not be sentenced before next February, and may be pardoned. From almost every country in Europe, but particularly from France, cable appeals have reached President Coolidge to interfere in the case of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, the Italian Communists convicted for the murder of Alessandro Berardelli, a paymaster’s guard, at South Braintree, Massachusetts, on April 15, 1920. The latest communication is a telegram signed by four French Senators, chief among whom is M. Joseph Caillaux, the former Premier. Since appeals to President Coolidge seem to be actuated by the belief that the two Communists are to be executed immediately, their appeal for a new trial having been denied by Judge Thayer of Dedham, Massachusetts, on October 23, an explanation is made today that Sacco and Vanzetti are not likely to be sent to death before next February, and that even then execution would be delayed for some time. It is generally believed that Governor Fuller, of Massachusetts, will commute the sentence or pardon the men.

It is generally believed that Governor Fuller, of Massachusetts, will commute the sentence or pardon the men. When Judge Thayer refused the plea of Mr. William G. Thompson, counsel for the condemned radicals, for a new trial, he handed down an eighty-page decision outlining his reasons. Mr. Thompson examined Judge Thayer’s findings as a basis for filing a bill of exceptions. These cannot be argued before the Supreme Judicial Court, the court of last resort in the State, until January. This is the time when the men who were convicted in July, 1921, cannot be sentenced until the exceptions are disposed of. There is the possibility that the Supreme Judicial Court will admit Mr. Thompson’s exceptions and overrule Judge Thayer, thereby granting a new trial on the basis of new evidence in the confession of Celestino F. Madeiros, a condemned murderer who said that he killed the South Braintree paymaster. Judge Thayer took the position that the confession was false. One of the considerations on which the Supreme Judicial Court will act will be the reporter’s statement of Judge Thayer that he “would show them that no long-haired anarchist from California can come to Massachusetts and run this court.” He referred to counsel for the defense, Mr. F. H. Moore, of California. DOUBLE GAME OF GARIBALDI ESTABLISHED
