LEWIS SAYS WAGE SCALE FIRST Consideration of Schedules Are Sow Postponed. V. M. A. Chiefs Decidedly Op posed to Kenyon Flan. Indianapolis, Feb- 1 5. Alexander Jlowat, deponed Kansas miners' leader, won the preliminary skirmish of his fight -it the special convention or the j i ivi. v .A., nei e iuutj, a"'t action of the union administration of ficers expelling' Huwat and creating a provisional district government for the union in Kansas. By a rising vote of 977 to 864, the delegates decided to consider Howat s appeal to override the administration officers order and immediately a roll call was ordered, probably delaying a j final decision until tomorrow. Mean-, while all consideration of wage scale matters was deferred. "While the standing vote favored j Howat, delegatps supporting the ad-j ministration officers asserted many j persons not entitled to vote had been; counted particularly more man uue hundred Kansas followers of Howat who were said to have been expelled from the union. Started Fight Early. Howat began his own fight for a seat In the convention when the ses sion opened, his move delaying consid eration of the wage scale report. The Kansas leader said he wished the con vention to decide by an appeal whether it would sustain his expulsion and that of his followers, but in reply to questions of President Lewis admitted he had not filed an appeal from the union executive board's order as pro vided by the union's constitution. Howat contended he was only seek ing a fair trial, which he said was the cardinal principle of the junion. "We feel that when the coal miners fcnow the truth that we will receive justice," said Howat. "We are asking justice for the expelled miners." Lewis Wants Action. j In ruling Howat's appeal not in or- j der, Lewis said: "One hundred mil-, lion people are watching, waiting for the policies that will ensue from this; convention and now we are asked to set aside our work to deal with a pure ly internal matter and affecting the welfare of a few individuals." Howat's partisans among the dele pates started an uproar, but it was si lenced by Lewis, who continued, say ing that Howat and other expelled Kansas miners "can have an appeal any time," but that it must be decided by the union's executive board before coming before the convention Lewie also ruled that Howat, not being a delegate, could not appeal the ruling barring his case from the con vention, but later placed his ruling before the delegates to be sustained or rejected. Majority Ago hint Cuts, The demand for retention of the present basic wages of soft coal miners came up for settlement today before the special convention of the U. M. "VV. A. Majority sentiment apparently favored indorsing the stand against accepting any wage reductions in the bituminous industry. Some delegates, however, favored asking an increase. Other proposals named as formal demands. also seemed certain "of indorsement, includ ing that of calling for wage increases for the anthracite workers. As soon as the demands were dis posed of, the program of administra tion leaders was for the convention to consider the committee action in policy which wa.i a part of the scale report and included the threat of a strike by all union miners on April 1 in event no wage agreement is reached before then Will Call for Vote. Just as soon as the miners' national convention ratifies the report of the scale committee, a call will be issued for such a vote and preparations will be made speedily, leaders said today, to start voting. A date will be set for the casting of ballots and four or five days later it is expected the complete returns will be ir international head quarters. Sentiment will be overwhelming, said the leaders, for a cessation of operations on April 1. William Green, secretary of the in ternational union, holds strongly to the belief that it is possible to negotiate a new agreement for the anthracite field without a suspension, but the an thracite leaders hold Just as strongly to the belief that it will be a physical impossibility to get a new contract without a suspension of at least one month. At union headquarters, belief wa expressed, however, that operators of the bituminous field who refused to enter into joint negotiations looking toward a new contract on the assump tion that the miners would ask for an increase in wages, can no longer hold out with good grace if the convention upholds the scale committee's recom mendation to continue the present schedule. If the mine operators meet the min ers 50-50 and once get into conference, it is stated, there is strong probability of a settlement being reached. Fight Kenyon Plan.

ALL ARE MARKING TIME Harding for Sales Levy to Fi nance Compensation. Farmers Would Be Exempt in Tax Proposed by Smoot. Washington, Feb. 15. The "naval holiday" decreed by the armament conference may offer congress a short and easy way out of the soldiers' bonus muddle, Republican leaders indicated today. They suggested that the big saving expected to be effected in navy ap propriations as a result of limitation of naval armament fixed by the con ference could be readily diverted for paying of bonus. The senate and house committees charged with the framing: oj a soldiers' bonus bill continued to mark time to day in their consideration of the ques tion of how the necessary funds should be raised in expectation of receiving from President Harding a formal ex pression of his views in the matter. Remembers G. O. P. Promises. It was believed the letter which it had been announced at the "White House the president would send to the chairman of the committes for this purpose would be transmitted to day. The president, it was emphasized, had not lost sight of promises made by the Republicans in the 1920 pri maries but his attitude, it was added, had to be that of finding a "sane and defensible condition of fulfillment of those promises on the one hand, hav ing regard for restored stability on the other." President for a Sales Tax. Meanwhile, pressure for a sales tax as a means of financing the bonus was exerted with renewed determination between Senators Smoot of Utah, Edge of New Jersey: Moses of New Hampshire, and others in favor of it. They were spurred to fresh activity by the knowledge that the president himself believed in a sales tax. altho inclined to leave to the judgment jof congress whether one. should be -imposed. Chairman Fordney, however, -was said to be among the house Republi can 'eaders who had frankly informed the president that the combined oppo sition of the Democratic minority and the "agricultural bloc" in the lower chamber would be sufficient to insure the defeat of a sales tax there. May Amend Bonus BUI. Senator Smoot proposed to over come the opposition of the "agricul tural bloc" suggesting again a manu facturers sales tax from which the. farmers would be exempt. It was such a tax that he offered as an amendment to the new revenue law and despite its defeat by a substantial vote In he senate, he said, he was hopeful that it might succeed if of fered as an amendment to the bonus bill. Representative Hamilton Fish, Jr., of New York, spokesman for ex-service men of the house, declared there was no reason why the bonus could not be provided for from the saving of from $100,000,000 to $300,000,000 in naval retrenchments expected to result from the "naval holiday," de creed by the arms conference. Service Men to Caucus. There will be a caucus of house ex- service men Thursday for the purpose or renewing tne iignt ror tne Donus bill in the lower chamber where, -as in the senat, a strong undercurrent of opposition to it has set in as a result of protests against the enactment of any bonus at all. John Thomas Taylor, chief execu tive agent of the American Legion said "We feel absolutely satisfied that the senate and house ways and means committee will report out a soldiers bonus bill that will be perfectly satis factory to the business interests of the country so far as the tax features are concerned. There can be no question as to the obligation of congress to pay the bonus legislation this session, ana I have every confidence that this will be done." asksTjght on TREATY ROW Senator Hitchcock 'Wants AH Forms of 4-Power Plan From President. Washington, Feb. 15. A resolution requesting President Harding to fur nish the senate If not incompatible with the public Interests, all drafts or forms of the four-power Pacific treaty presented to or considered by the American, British, French and Japa nese delegates to the armament con ference was offered in the senate to day by Senator Hitchcock, of Ne braska, ranking Democratic member of the senate foreign relations com mittee. Hitchcock said that It was a matter of common knowledge that there had been "open and notorious disagree ment between the president and the secretary of state as to the meaning of the treaty" and that he believed the senate shqnld be fully informed regarding- all the conditions and circum stances surrounding it before being called upon to ratfy it.

Under the charter permit the cor poration is authorized to "manufac ture and exploit gland products and other scientific agents allied to the above declared purposes." The new company is chartered as the College of Physicians and Surgery and Brink ley Research Laboratories. In its charter application the corporation de fines the following purposes: "Educa tion and graduation of matriculants in the science of medicine and surgery including pharmacy and chemistry, the conferring of the degree of Doctor of Medicine and Master in Surgery and any and all allied scientific degrees, to teach any and all studies and branches allied to said main or prin cipal purposes and confer degrees of graduation therein, to manufacture and exploit gland products and other scientific agents allied to the above declared purposes."

Members of the state board today TO FIGHT PREMIER t Enemies of Lloyd George Make Irish Crisis Weapon. Free State Bill for Ireland May ot Pass, London, Feb. 15. Threats of revo lution and civil war in Ireland are being utilized by political enemies of Premier Lloyd George in efforts to overthrow the Coalition government Tne British cabinet is co-operating with the Irish provisional government at Dublin to restore tranquillity, along the Ulster border and .prevent future outbreaks. T have every reason to believe that the evacuation of "British troops from Ireland will be resumed and will speedily be completed." said Michael Collins, minister of finance in the Dublin government, after an inter view with Colonial Secretary Winston Churchill at noon. "We believe we can cope with the situation. I am going back to Ire land tonight." The flying trip of Collins to London was believed by his friends to have done considerable pood, Collins feared that if the orders cancelling evacuation of the British troops from Ireland were continued in force, they would weaken the powers of the pro visional government. For the first time it was admitted in Downing street circles this after noon that the free state bill (confer ring the powers of the Anglo-Irish treaty upon the Dublin government) may not pass the house of commons. The opinion was expressed that the fate of the bill would depend on con ditions in Ireland when the vote is taken at the end of this week. The future of the Lloyd George ministry hangs upon the fate of this measure. If commons votes down the bill, the premier will resign at once If the bill is passed by only a small majority, it is expected that the pre mier will call a general election. HOWAT CASE TO HIGHER COURT State Supreme Court Has Issued Writ of Error. The supreme court has issued a writ of error in the third Howat case and the issue will go before the United States supreme court. A $5,000 ap peal bond has been required by the Kansas court. Final action In approving the writ of error has been taken by the etate supreme court. The case raises a number of constitutional questions and may be consolidated with test cases now pending; in Washington. In each of the Howat cases the Kansas supreme court upheld the industrial I court law and decided against the de posed mine union cnier. Says Brunette Could Not Have Killed Vm. Taylor; Must Have Been Blonde Light Haired Jealousy Mad Assas&iness Would Not Have Had the Nerve to Look Victim in Face and Kill Him, Declares Psycho-Analyst. New Tork. Feb. 15. If a woman killed "William Desmond Taylor, she was a blonde, according to Andre Tridon, famous French psycho-analyst. Blonde women have less courage than their darker sisters, Tridon de clared today. "A dark woman would never have shot Taylor in the back," said the scientist. "She would have killed him as she stood face to face with him. A blonde would shoot him in the back That's because she has less nerve than the dark woman; Also she Is less violent." Tridon expressed the theory that a woman did the killing. "Taylor was a man with many women in his life." said the noted psycho-analyst. "In my opinion, a woman killed him in a jealous huff." also- approved application for a char ter permit for the Variable Speed En gine company of Atchison.

TO TIE UP WHEAT Wheat Growers' Association and Farmers' Union May Unite. Fire Year Hundred Per Cent Contract Is Made Stipulation. Kansas City, MoT, Feb. 15. A gi gantic wheat pooling plan, by which Kansas' wheat growers will 'pledge themselves to sell their wheat under a. five year contract thru a central sales agency, was announced here to day. The -pian embraces a 100 per cent pooling cVmtract to be -entered into bv the Kansas farmers tinion and the j-wheat growers association. The rea son for the agreement between the two organizations' lies in the fact that Kansas wheat growers say they have about ten million bushels of wheat under contract but no facilities with which to handle it. The' Farmers' union has several hundred elevators in ihi city and a seat on the Kansas city board of trade, but no method by which it can en force use of its facilities'. Members of the wheat growers association, un der the; plan, will be asked to join the Farmers' union while Farmers' union members will be. asked to sign pooling contracts. With this accomplished, a. central selling agency will be formed which will "feed-, the market" with pooled wheat as demands, require. The grower will place in the pool all his salable wheat and after the pooled wheat has been sold, the grower will receive the average price for the crop year according to grade and variety. PRESIDENT MAY TAKE STUMP Support of Congressional Candidates To lie Voiced on Harding's Vacation. Washington Feb. 15. President Harding's trip to the Pacific coast and Alaska next summer, it was learned on high authority here today, will probably include a number of speeches in support of the campaigns of certain candidates for congress. Plans for-the president's long so journ into the west and far north are gradually shaping themselves into definite form, tho as yet the White House has announced, no itinerary. Unforeseen circumstances may cause the trip to be cancelled or postponed for another year, but at present it was said the president is confident he will be able to make the trip. Scott Bone, governor of the terri tory of Alaska, who is now in this city, is actively engaged in making arrangements for the president's pro jected tour. The governor is equally confident that the president will be able to make the trip. "The 'anger gland is responsible for one's emotions of anger or violence." said Tidon. Scientifically, it is called the adrenal gland. i'ln the blonde it is less developed than in the brunette, consequently. she is less violent," he continued. "And sg if a man killed Taylor, we may reasonably be certain that he was a blonde." It was called to Tridon's attention that Taylor was spoken of as a "quiet man.. "Why do quiet men attract wo men y he Was asked "For the simple reason that they don't talk," the psycho-analyst .ans wered. "They keep quiet about their heart affairs and when they have several women in their lives, never tell one about the other." Death List Since Saturday Swells to Thirty-One.

Thirty-one per sons have been killed and more than 100 wounded in fighting at Belfast in the past five days, said a dispatch from that city to the Evening News today. The telegram said that "vic tims were seized during the night time, triced up with" cords and then shot against the wall." (By the Associated Press.) Belfast, Feb. 15. After a period of quiet lasting several hours, disorders again broke out in this city at 3 o'clock this afternoon, when shooting began in the Stanhope street area near the Victoria barracks. The military promptly opened fire. The afternoon, raiders entered th offices of the New Northern Spinning company on the Falls road and shot and killed William Duffin, the as sistant ma'nager, and wounded a clerk At noon today Belfast was reportedTwas to win the appointment to the absolutely quiet, the presence of troops on the streets having nad tne eireci. of checking the operations of the gun men, which since the beginning of the present series of disorders have re sulted in twenty-five deaths. Conditions on the border where force of north and south Ireland are facing each other, as the result of the tension created by the recent kidnap ing of Ulster unionists, are also re ported quiet. Five men ere shot ta death be twAttn midnieht and 11 o'clock. Two wer killed in the Bloomfield district and one in Springfield avenue. All had evidently been shot by snipers. A number of others were wounded. Belfast passed thru a wild night of terror with sniping and Dombing in manv of the streets. Hundreds of civilians "have barricaded their homes and are afraid to'venture outside the doors. Large forces of soldiers and police aro patrol inff tne streets. It Is Private War. At midnight a man was found dead in one of the bullet-swept streets. He had been shot to death and then his head had been beaten to a pulp. A workman who had been fatally wounded while repairing street car lines died in the hospital. Street railway men and mill work ers were fired upon indiscriminately by the terrorists, who are apparently affiliated neither with the Sinn Fein nor the Orangemen but are carrying on a private war of their own against everybody. London. Feb. 15. Michael Collins, minister of finance of the Irish free state, has obtained the release of fif teen of the Ulster men kidnaped re cently, "Winston Churchill, colonial secretary, announced in the house of commons this afternoon. The remain der probably will be released late to day. Churchill said. Mr. Churchill said at his suggestion Premier Craig of Ulster and Mr. Col lins had agreed to the appointment of impartial commissions, who would go to the. border area, ascertain the facts and keep in close touch with each other in order to allay. If possible, the great apprehension existing on both sides of the border at the action being taken on the other side. Evacuation of British troops from Ireland will be resumed tonight after a temporary suspension, It was learned from a semi-official source this af ternoon. i ne press nere agrees mat coinns is facing a supreme crisis and tnat not only civil war, but anarchy threat ens Ireland if there is a false move. It was understood that Collins chief argument for continued evacuation of British troops i that their continued presence in South Ireland or their transfer, to Ulster might undermine the power of the provisional govern ment. The extremist republicans who are working for the overthrow of the Dub- tion to make political capital from the circumstances if the British troops are maintained in Ireland. Collins Demands Power. Dublin iispatches say that "there must be immediate evacuation, by the British military forces or danger of the overturn of the provisional gov ernment by its enemy will increase.' "Complete evacuation or complete reconquest is necessary." said the Dublin correspondent of the Daily News. Collins wants the free state bill rushed thru so that the Dublin gov ernment can see its standing army (the Irish republican army) to keep order and put down any attempted revolutionary outbreaks.

We bave often wondered just what the exact differ ence is between a flyweight and a featherweight, and just how many feathers to a bantam. Speaking of weights. Professor Iavis of Wash burn, claims the title of pinweight champion for hia small son. If California really has the weather for which the state is noted we won der that they have any athletics at all- The last few days many of the athletes in this vicinity have showed a decided sleepiness. At first we were at a loss to discover the cause, knowing that they always retired at an early hour. One big husky ex plained it to us this morning. "I work in the harvest fields, during the sum mer," said the big boy, "and the weather recently has caused me night mares of those wheat fields on a hot afternoon. 1 wake up about four thirty, thinking of a hard day's labor before me.

"We have heard so much about the recent football scandal that we had a sneaking idea that there was some scandal in the other sports, and it has finally come Ho light. A girl's coach in a small western town inthis state recently took her team over to anoth er town not far distant, for a game of basketball. After the game was over and the home team had won. the honie girl's coach, thinking to be so ciable, offered the other coach a ci garet. After reading that all the girls smoke at Columbia university, this seems a small matter to us, but evi-. dently the first mentioned coach was not brought up that way as girls' ath letics 'between the two schools are a thing of the past. That should be enough for one day but the worn is yet to come. After due consideration the school board of a town not far from Topeka decided that the basketball uniforms worn by the boys were immodest. And accord ingly they parsed a rule that hereafter the boys should wear long trousers and jerseys with sleeves in them. The boys, not taking their modesty so seri ously, decided that this was a little too much for the ordinary American boy. Consequently the high school there does not have a boys' basketball team this year. Washburn showed last night what their rooter3 have been calling for, an offense to match their defense. Ar thur Errickson, forward and captain, scored eleven field goals. He .was what is known among basketball men as "hot." And as one of the Pittsburg players said, vou couldn't have cooled him off with a tub of ice water. Uhr- laub of K. U., who refereed the game, said that 'Washburn played better basketball than at any time this year. The short passing game with a good offense is hard to beat. It is generally conceded that when an athlete gets married his athletics are about over. Not so with Sweet of Pittsburg Normal. He has been mar ried for some time and is not so young as some of them. He showed Topeka fans that he could play football last fall when Pittsburg defeated1 Wash burn. Last night he demonstrated that he is still in the running- in a basketball suit. And in the snring he shows most 220 dash men how that race should be run. Married life may be different to a man who has a good get away and is fast on his feet. MYSTERY SURROUNDS DEMPSE Rumor Mill9 Closg.xl With Material About Kcason joi- nurnco Anp. New York. Feb. 15. Mystery, deep and dark and impenetrable pervaded Grand Central station today while anxious fight promoters and report ers were waiting for the arrival of Wm. Harrison Dempsey, who was coming out of the west in response to an urgent summons. Dempsey, who has tor some time been idle, was expected to meet his manager. Jack Kearns. Rumor mills fcecame clogged in no time. They bad a wide range. Some told of a proposed trip of the heavy weight champion to Europe, where he would meet Bombardier W ells, Joe Beckett, George Cook and other per sons considered to be pugilists in Eng land, and .would then wind up his in vasion of the eastern hemisphere by again engaging in fistic combat one Georges Carpentier, who last July stopped a lot of punches out at Boyles' thirty acres, Jersey City. Another rumor was that Dempsey was to enter a twenty-four foot ring with Harry Wills, the somber hued mauler from rew Orleans, while a third had it that a return fight with Jess Willard was contemplated.

The Ottawa university team sup porters are slightly pessimistic about the chances of Ottawa defeating the Baker quintet at Ottawa tonight. Altho the Ottawa team has defeated teams much stronger than Baker, it was de feated by Baker jn a recent game at Baldwin. Mercer, one of Ottawa's most consistent goal cagers, may not appear in the lineup. He received a chill following the game with South western at Winfield Saturday night and was taken to a Winfield hospital. The Lawrence high school five is not pessimistic, altho it was defeated by Chanute in a game played Friday night at Chanute. It defeated Iola by a two-point margin in a game play ed Saturday night at Iola. The Law rence boys are now looking forward to th game with Emporia at Emporia in the near future. Lawrence defeated the Emporians by a one-point margin in a recent game at Lawrence and feels it can repeat the trick at Em poria. The Haskell Indians lost three straight games while traveling thru Crawford county last week. They were defeated by Casey's Traveling Six. of Frontenac; the Crawford County All-Stars of Croweburg, Pitts burg Normal school. Haskell will meet the Graceland college quintet at Lawrence Saturday night. Fifteen Kansas cities will hold elimi nation tournaments on March 10 and 11 for the state basketball tourna ment which will be held at Lawrence February 17 and 18.

Kir win,, one of the live liest basketball towns in northwest Kansas, failed to secure a tournament. A highly successful tournament was j held there last year but it was over shadowed, this year by Phiilipsburg, when the tournament cities were se lected. Phillipsburg has a gymnasium of ample size, the county high school being located there. It also has better-) raij connections than any nearby cities. CHICAGO BOWLER IS BEATEN.

UKC ACID IN MEAT CLOGS THE KIDNEYS Take a glass of Salts if Your Hack hurts or Bladder bothers veil Drink more water. By S. I. Flora, Meteorologist.) The Kansas wheat crop has had an other unfavorable week, according to the reports of 100 correspondents of the -weather bureau, which show that no rain whatever fell in the state and that abnormally high temperatures the fore part of the week had a ten dency to start wheat greening up when the ground was too dry to sup port growth. On Friday, tne 10th, the thermometer rose above 70 degrees over much of the state, but a change to much colder came with the cloning days, with zero weather on Moftday. the 13th. when a few counties in the north-central portion reported tern r eratures slightly below zero. Tiierh winds on the 8th caused con siderable damage by soil blowing in several important wheat growing counties in the central part of the state and several extreme southwest ern counties, but elsewhere there was l-ut Uttic complaint of trouble from ;his source. The crop is needing moisture badly in all parts, especially trie western half, but as long as the cold weather holds it dormant the da mage from this cause is not ex pected to be sreat. While the high temperatures of the wek caused some appearance o growth and greening-in the southeast and south-central counties, the cold weather that followed so abruptly checked all further development, tho temperatures that came witU it wore so low as to affect wheat unfavorably. Th ground is ceneraliy in gofxl condit:cn for spring plowing in the southeast quarter of the state and oat- sowing was under way the fore part of the WJek in the extreme south east and south-central counties. Mont gomery county reports that almost a fourth of the crop has been put in. In other parts of the state the ground is frozen to such an extent that spring work has not -started. The hrri temperatures had a ten dency to stact development of fruit buds, but this was stopped by the chango to colder. k I Ask For It!
