Will Submit His Proposal!
for Peace to Miners at a I
onference During thej
Afternoon.
OPERATORS WILL
NOT BE PRESENT
They Think Plan Should
Be Submitted Separate
ly So It Can Be Studied
Thoroughly.
Harrisburg, Pn„ Nov. 23.- — (A*) —
Governor Pirn-hot decided today to go
forward' with his plans to submit a
proposal for settlement of the anthra
cite suspension, to representatives of
the miners 'here this afternoon, de
spite announcement from the opera
tors that they would'be unable to at
tend the meeting, to which they had
also been invited.
The governor's plans admittedly
were upset by the action of the opera
tors, of which lie was informed in
’ a telegram from Major \V. \V. In
glis, chairman of the operators' wage
negotiations committee. Mnjor Inglis
wired tie was unable to get his
committee together for a meeting - to
day and expressed the belief that any
lilan the governor has should be com
municated separately in confidence to
. each side, to give them a chance to
over it.
The fact that John L. Lewis, presi
dent of the I'nitod Mine Workers,
had accepted the invitation which Cue
governor sent to both committees last
night, and that members of the min
er's committee had set out for Har
risburg led to the decision to go ahead
with the plans.

Etna Mills, Cal., Nov. 28. —C4 3 ) —
Cccilville. an isolated mountain town,
hasn't access to a rond to the out
side world yet, but has its first unto
mobile just the name.
All mail and freight for Cccilville
and the upper Salmon river coun
try is delivered by mqle train along
tbe trail. Roseoe and Archie Farns
worth, Salmon river miners, were
unwilling to wait the -two* years
necessary for the completion of the
mountain wagon road which 'the
forest service is building.
They wanted to use their ear on
a short strip of road between their
home and Cccilville, built years ago
by a mining company.. So they drove,
pushed and squeezed their machine
along until the trail became too
steep - and narrow for* further pro
gress. Then they took the oar apart
and loaded it on pack mules for the
last lap of the journey. /

STORY OF KILLING IS
SHOWN IMAGINARY |
"Excavation” For Burial Found But
No Trace. of a Corpse.
Asheboro, Nov. 27.—At a hearing
before J. S. Ridge, J. I’., in the court
house at Asheboro, upon motion "of
the prosecution before the defense hail

charge of murder against Roy IliH
ami Daniel Briggs, road contractors,

information and belief based oil the
statement of a negro named .7. E.
Rogers, of Concord.
According to Rogers, at 10 o'clock
on the night of November lltli while
a force of 30 or 40 negroes under Hill I
and Briggs were engaged in work on !
a fill on Route 70 about two miles I
north of Seagrove, Hill and a negro

shot was fired, according to Rogers,
by either Hill or Brigggs, as to which
one he was in doubt, anil the negro
fell dead. The body was then buried

over it.
On Tuesday, Sheriff .1. F. Cran
ford, accompanied by a number of
people took the negro down to the
place the alleged murder occurred
and had him point out the exact spot
of the burial. This the negro readily
did. An excavation six feet square

Dr. Shannon Says We Are Below* the i
Level of Our Grandfathers in This, j
Lexington, Ya-, Nov. 23.— (A>) — !
Are courtesy of speech and refine
ment of etiquette lost arts? Are we
sinking slowly to a crass, blunt
people?
\>V are the level of our
| grandfathers in these social amen
ities, Dr. E. F. Shannon, author, and
j head of the English department, of
| Washington and Lee University, to
day told students in a lecture on
Old English.
"We have no time now for those
finer points of courtesy which our
grandfathers took so much delight
in." said Dr. Shannon. "We are in
too much of a hurry—not only in
our manners, but also in our langtt
i ago."
He jxtinted out that many present
day expressions have resided from
shortening to gain time and that
slang expressions both economize
time and provide easy expression for
ideas.
"The French are a more pbjrte
people than the English, or A uter i,-.,
cans, and it is shown in their langu
age." declared The professor. "Our
grandfathers were more formal than
is the custom today, and our lan
guage is less formal than theirs."
He ascribed the tendency towards
a less formal language as a part of
a general movement, and said that
the whole trend today is toward more
i freedom in everything,

Against Modern Pace.
New York, Nov. 28.-—-(A*)—Guard
ing the middleaged against Twentieth
century strain is becoming one ot the !
prinsjpal tasks of American life in
surance companies.
During the last 25 years, most of
the advance in the direction of
longevity has been among children
and adults of the younger ages,
through prevent ioitt of infantile
deaths and warfare against con
tagions diseases, in the opinion of in-1
sufaitee men.
Now attention is being turned to I
men and. women around 50 years of ]
age and this subject will be the
chief topic of discussion at the con-1
vontion of the Association of Life I
Insurance Presidents here, December
i 3-4.
i All data in possession of the Corn-]
i patties will be studied in the hope
that records of the living may best
i point the way to solution of the
‘ problem.
j Why. for example, is the pereent-
I age of death from diseases of the
i heart, arteries and kidneys in the
| age group 45 to 04 more than three
: times as great as the percentage of
! the group 20 to 20? What tendency,
respectively, do accountants, labor
! ers, lawyers, physicians, farmers,
i meriharts, manufacturers anil others
‘ j show to these diseases?
These and other questions will be
propounded and an effort made to
obtain agreement among the carports
on a prartioal program for the bet
terment of conditions affecting the
middle aged.
