Meanwhile the miners' union, through an adjournment .sine die f its controlling policy commit tee, made certain Its refusal to ac cept the arbitration proposals, but ihe President said that "a large Inajority" of them, by unqualified ' acceptance, had given him occa sion to "express my own and the public's gratitude." There were intimations In offl- t-ial circles that all the impltca- iona of the decision to ask that he mines be opened had been ully considered by the Govern- rient and that there was a possl ility that the protection of troops nd the American nag would be urnished In districts where men kere willing to work, falling juM ient local safeguarding.

I TIPPLE IS FIRED, ATTACKERS FALL West Virginia and Penn sylvania Constabulary Are on Guard. WELLSBURQ, W. A'a., July 17. By The Associated Press) Four known dead, Whose bodies lay in the morgue here tonight, were silent witnesses of the gun fight which raged for more than an hour at daybreak around the Clifton Mine of the Richland Coal Company at Cliftonville, ten miles away. Sheriff H. H. Duval, who led his little band of deputies against a large crowd of men, said to have crossed from the union coal field of Pennsylvania, was among those dead. The others are: Francis Milich, Monnessen, Pa. Crook. An unidentified man. With Sheriff Duval, when his men pressed battle against the at tacking force and drove they back from the mine after the tipple had been fired and at least two of the participants had fallen, was hlsj son, Thomas. The latter saw his father shot down, the body later being found to contain marks of seven bullets, but continued on with the defenders. Not long after wards, when the fight was over he"ef""nd today. Supporters of the was made sheriff of Brooke County ; scheme hope America will follow in his father's place by a court order. Watchers at the mine were wait ing for the ruins of the tipple, burned In the attack, to cool be- fore searching for bodies of two men believed to 'be burled under the debris It-ports of More Deaths Are Unconfirmed. Rumor persisted that the bodies In morgue by no means represent ed, the total casualties at Utenflght but none of the deputy sheriffs would confirm reports that num bers of men had b-- shot down and their bodies dragged through the woods by their companions. Error In repeated announce ments at the sheriff's office during the day that at least seven men had been killed and their bodies brought here were accounted for tonight by an official who said that men now known to be wound ed were at first reported dead. Three wounded men of the at tacking force were in hospitals In Wheeling and 16 others, captured by the deputies in - . battle were In the Ohio County Jail not far away. Twenty-five prisoners, three of whom had been shot, were con fined in the Wellsburg Jail, seven of this number had been taken in the woods around the Clifton mine late this afternoon by State police men who It was reported tonight, were contlning the search. On the other aide or tne otaie line four miles away, troopers of the Pennsylvania State constabul ary were on guard, operating in conjunction with the West Vir ginia forces. They had been sent down from Washington County and -jjt was. expected by the authorities that they would be reinforced by 26 others.

NOT YET BEFORE REPARATIONS BODY Moratorium for Remain der of Year May Put Germany on Her Feet. PARIS. July 17. (By The As sociated Pre.) The reduction ot the German indemnity to 5U.0U0, 000,000 gold marks from the pres ent total of 132,000,000,000 and the cancellation of the French debt to England is the basis of a so lution of the reparations quest inn now being seriously discussed by French and British officials. Although the scheme has not yet officially roached the repara tions commission members of the latter have discussed the details. It Is expected the propo.ed plan will be one of the chief subjects of dis cussion in the forthcoming meot ing of Premiers Polncare and Lloyd George. The suggested solution his tha hearty support of British officials, who have been urging Its accept ance upon the French officials, it ia announced. The latter, so The Associated press has been reliably Informed, are looking with more and more favor upon the plan, provided it carries with It a clean out pledge ot assistance in time of attack and assures France the allotment, wholly or in part, of England's 22 per cent share of the total indemnity. It Is believed that England is ready to concede vir tually all thesj demands if full ac ceptance on the part of the French government is obtained. The British decided to push the ! plan when it was definitely de termined that the United States was not in a mood to discuss can cellation of the ajlled debt. It was the lead after -she has had the chance to observe the good which may result from even a partial writing off of the war debts. British officials have informed the French that under the plan It is thought tho mark would be stabilized, business confidence te stored and Germany with a collaeti bt e indemnity, would be bound to find means of paying. 'the proposal has strong advo cates in the repartition uommist ion, It Is announced In these Cir cles today. It is expected in that quarter that it would have the un- cfucial support of the American government. Advocates further point out that Its adoption would immediately have the etfect of call ing together the committee of In ternational bankers who would probably arrange a loan, in Itself, large enough to Insure reparation payments for several years under- the revised figures. The plan would call for a mora torium for the remainder of this year's cash payment. The Asso ciated Press learns, experts taking the view that Germany would prob ably be able to balance her budget by January provided she is relieved of payments until that time. The acceptance of the proposed adjust ment by France, advocates explain would have the effect of placing all the allies, Including Great Britain and the nlted States firm ly behind France in the collection of the reparations account.

OFFICIALS MARK TIME IN SITUATION Conditions With Respect to Mail Trains Are Generally Better. WASHINGTON. July 17. By The Associated Press. Occupied almost exclusively with endenvors to bring about a resumption of work in the coal fields, administra tive officials of the government strike situation. Indications were marked time today in the railroad given that the suspension of nctlv Ity with respect to the railroad troubles was deliberate and for the purpose of giving full attention to the coal strike. Emphasis was placed by most officials, however, on the statement that events within the next few days will necessarily govern the government's policy and hope was expressed that It would not be nec essary to take any drastic action. Everything pointed to deliberation any decision and for proof the gov and careful consideration prior to ernment's action with respect to the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad was pointed to.

A third message from Colonel ' Lincoln, probably containing the Anal word from the Texas Governor is ex pected within the next 24 hours. The first report was from Denl son and said quiet prevailed there when the officer arrived because no attempt was being made to operate the railway shops and no trains practically were being moved.

Secretary Weeks would not Indi cate the course the government would pursue If Governor Neff's reply was not regarded here as sat isfactory. It was evident that the War Secretary expected the whole question of Federal Intervention In the railroad situation to be re viewed by the Cabinet at Its regu lar meeting tomorrow and that he did not anticipate, that Instructions would come from the White House to send troops to Denlson before that time.
