Condemns .Paternalistic Atti tude Of Government To ward Business. CLEVELAND, Oct. 11. (By The Associated Press.) - The recent strike in the coitl industry caused a total loss of $l,190,000,Oyu, J. G. Bradley, of Duudon, V. Va., fonklr- president of the National Coal Association, declared here today in au address before the annual convention of ; the American Mining Congress. . itcsolutions condemning the paternal . istie attitude of the government, de ploring the entrance" of government iu ' to private business enterprises, und "urg ing industrial co-operation between lab or and capital us a means of increasing production, uugmeutiug. prosjierjty and lowering prices, were, introduced to' the resolutions committee, Which later is to make a report to the general con ference. - According to Mr. Bradley the loss in wages by the United Mine Workers of America was estimated by the Ameri can Educational Association was $430, lUO,000 ; the loss to railroads over $'M0, tHJO.UOO; the loss to the public in the tost of fuel 1400,000,000, and the loss to the mine operators $40,000,000, "If every family in America were to luy $4.j it ' would burely cover this loss," Mr. Bradley said. "The price of the struggle which has jutt been gone through is au enormous one. It is at least to be hoped that it has hud its lesson from which both tides may profit. It also is hoped above all things that the 1 public has learned that it too has a responsibility for the outcome of the conflict. , "At any time tluoughout the strike there were enough men willing to work at the rutc oil wages paid at those mines which continued operation to have replaced those who " tjirew down their shovels and would have kept the wheels of industry . turning und saved this billion dollar loss. But because tho other 110,000,000 people of the .fount ry .jvere .not sufficiently aroused "to the situation to demand that public officials euforce the law and protect the men who wanted to work, the incon siderable minority of 000,000 miners held up the great majority as a high wayman does a train, and the massacre at llerrin, instead of being the spark which was to light the llame of public indignation merely called forth mild protestations from the highest public officials aud tempted the strikers to try - the jtcrpetration ' of , a similar horror' in Cliftonville, Brooke county, West Vir ginia. . ''Thero unfortunately for them they were met by a courageous officer of the law in the person of Sheriff Duvall, who sacrificed his life iu doing his duty and maintained the law, so that today -50 of tho wonld-bemurderers are fac ing tho trial for their Jives iu West Virginia. , ';-' "The Southern coal producers have an honorable record. They look forward to tho future courageously and advise consumers of the north uud west to take their stand for law and order as did the ' people of the South iu 1922 before it is too late and the irrespon sible labor oligarchy completes its grasp of the coal lields and places itself in position to eontrol tho means of trans portation and manufacturing complete ly as the labor dictatorship controls Bussia.'' '' - ' Mr. Bradley asserted that tho . coal fields iu tho states of Washington, Colorado, Alabama, Tennessess, Ken tucky and that part of West Virginia south of tho Kanawha river have passed out from control of the-United Mine .workers. Conditions entirely outside of the coal industry, the railroad t-trikc and a coal famine, Mr. Bradley declared, resulted in the agreement of operators and niiuers in the northern aud west ern states which "restored the wage rates in effect prior to April 1, 1922, and undid the work of fhe after-war readjustment which had made ' rapid btridges in 1921. " "Many harsh things have been said about the arbitrary methods of the operators of West Virginia, independent districts," he added, "but every user of, coal owed them a debt of gratitude for keeping up the supply which tided the' country .over the summer. They have saved transportation and indus tries. " Auburn to West Pont. AUBURN. Ahu, Oct. 11.

THE WEATHER Generally fair tonight and Thursday; lightly wanner in extreme west tonight Sympathy For Inspired The Young Beauty Mrs. Debouchel Says She Did . Not Love The Old Man. - VICTIM OF SLANDER. Says She Does Not Want Penny Of Candler Money. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 11. (By tho Associated Press.) "A deep sympathy for a lonely old man, whose children had grown away from him, uud a companion ship I craved, rather than love, inspired by engagement to Asa G. Candler, Sr." Mrs. Oiieziiuu DeBotichel, beautiful New Orleans divorcee, whose engage ment to the Atlanta capitalist has beeu abruptly . terminated, made this state ment here today while awaiting the ar rival of her attorney front the Louisiana city for a conference relative to charges of indiscretion brought against her by Candler. ' "1 do not wan a siiigle penny of tho Candler money," she indignantly assert ed, "but they will have to'puy -ud pay dearly for their combine .to wreck my reputation with insults." - lit a public statement yesterday, Mrs. Debouchel said Candler had informed her it would bo impossiuilo for him to marry her as he had rt reived information that she. had invited two men to visit her rooms in a local hoetl during the Confederate reunion here in 1919. "Mr. Candler J shall tell to the world flint the slander of unpricipled men is not the reason lie has east off tho woman whom he asked to be his wife," she re iterated today. "He must' disclose tho slanderers of my character; tell me and the world that women are not always fortune hunters that heritage of pride does not succumb to material desjres. This shall be done." - Mrs. DeBouehel, whose announcement of her engagement to Candler several months ago attracted national attention, is typical of the French type. Her eyes "are greyish blue and her hair auburn. She is wealthy -and is said to have de scended on both sides of her fumily from the French aristocracy.. When; Mrs. 'DeBouehel attended the Confederate reunion iu Atlanta as chap-erone-general, she related, Candler en tertained the ladies of her court, sent them candy and flowers, placed his auto mobile at their disposal and otherwise -"acted as any gentleman would." After she had returned to her home in New Orleans, a correspondence devel ed, she continued. The capitalist told her how "his daughter before her mar riage hud always met him at the door uud placed her arms around his neck; but now' it was Hello Father' as she passed him to embrace her husband." Herself lonely nnd susceptible to the idea of a union based not upon love, but upon a "companionship ideal," their ideas grew gradually together, she said. The Louisiana woman took a trip to Switzerland nnd on her return, Candh'r met her at the pier in New York, she snijL . ' "Those rugged elements of his char acter, which enabled him to rise from a comparatively lower station in life to tho heights of financial standing attract ed and fascinated me. : ' "Whikvhe did not have a background of generations of courtly refinement, he "possessed all the elements of a gentle man. He was, I thought, the ideal tyjic -kindv considerate, and solicitous of my welfare. "The most outstanding ruin of tho debacle which confronts mo today," she continued after a pause, ' is that tho strong,' masterful personality ' is plastic, moulded into shape by .the wills of oth ers. At heart, I believe him to yearn for the Utopia we had planned, but he was overcome by the desires of others. And the worst of all. is his lack of faith in me. i t l .li..v i fh.Jeulled them; more guilty than the luck de to iM'heve in the . .

And from this wound has rieu the de termination that the honored name of my ancestors shall not be blackened without defense, even though only, a woman is here to bear the sword." Left an orphan early in childhood in New Orleans, where ?he was born, Mr. DeBouehel attended the Holy Vross and the Ursuline convents there. Later, she finished her education at Notre Dame in Canada. She then returned to New (rr leaus as a reigning beauty. " After a marriage which ended unhap pily, she became convinced that the "young man" is incapable of "fidelity to his marriage vows." she said, adding that she became a "man hater" until her engagement to Candler occurred. Until she has conferred with lier at torney, H.rrry Gamble, whoiji she exact ed to arrive during th day, Mfa. De Bouehel Mil id she would be unable to say definitely what eourt action, if any, would be taken. Candler's only reply to her published statements was issued through his attor neys after he was said to hare left At lanta yesterday. She asserted that con fidential information given hiui by friends had made a nmrrinee with Mr. DeBouehel impossible and that he would not disclose the names of his inform ants. LOS AWELKS, Cal..

Charles Marshall "Boots'" Kluttz hopped on his crutches from the bar to the prison dock Tuesday morning when without any moralizing from the bench ho received notice of his 'M years for tho murder of Detective- Tom Ctabtree August 31. . Young Kluttz, represented by his uncle, Senator It. Lee Wright, of Salis bury, where the boy was bom, Charles U. Harris and J. W. Bailey of the local bar, did not actually go t trial. lie had 'prepared a lengthy affidavit in which he set forth evidences that the Ku Klux Klau had beeu uetively agaiust him in the period between the homicide and the trial. It was alleged iu this affi davit that the klan has 1,500 members' in Wake and that every conceivable oue sidedness to the public sentiment had been fostered. The state, however, accepted a tender of murder in the second degree anil So licitor Norris announced that Mrs. Crab tree had joined in the request that the boy be spared a trial for his lite, in this jietitiou the officers of the city united and gave as their reastm tludr be lief that Kluttz had been doped and drunken so long as to. impair his mind. Notwithstanding this. Solictor' Norris gave a most minute recitation of details which had elements of cunning that ordi narily are foreign to anything that Klutiz ever showed at homo or in school. The boy was a pitiable spectacle of debauchery and physical suffering. Twice his leg has been amputated aud now tho nerves in the stub projecting from the hip often come to the surface and give him terrible torture. His uncle gave the boy's history, a l'""1 deformity, but cured of physical malformations, then stupid and a truant at .-school, almost a moron in mind, a call boy at the Sea board in Raleigh, then the injury, the suffering, the opiates, the- liquor and the murder. He said the Kluttz family hud the profoundest sympathy for the Crab tree household. J. W.

(Hickory Record.) Maj. A. Lee Bulwinkle, Democratic congressman from this district, spoke last night to a small but enthusiasitc audience in the Highland graded school and gave the voters a few rea sons why the Republicans should be defeated in this election. The weath er was raw and damp and the streets to the school building, the finest in the county, were not lighted, this keeping the attendance down. Before Major Bulwinkle spoke Chaiiman Charles W. Bagby, in call ing the meeting to order, referred to the fact that good, strong Republi cans in all parts of the county would vote the Democratic county ticket this time in protest against the man ner in which the local organization has been run. He named Horace H. Abee, who is working foE the county and congressional ticket, and then called on Perry , Hefner, prominent Highland merchant, to say why he would vote and work for the Demo cratic county ticket. Mr. Hefner said he has, been a Republican from the day he could vote, had worked for the party ull the time, but he had reached the conclusion that when a party or ganization opposed the will of the members of that party it ought to be defeated. Two men dominate the Re publican party in Catawba county, he said, "and I expect to-'work for the Democratic county ticket." Referring to Major Bulwinkle's brilliant war record and his fine serv ice in congress, Joseph L. Murphy presented the speaker, who referred to Mr. Hefner's position as true and right, and then went into a brief dis cussion of the tariff law, referring to the fight for protected potash and de clared that merchants were now re ceiving thier notices of advances in the prices of all merchandise by rea son of the tarhT. He briefly reviewed the Newberrv case in which a Republican senator t.pcnt fllNi.uUO to get the election and asserted that the use of money in campaigns on such an elaborate scale simply means that the son of a poor mnn will have no chance for nublie office in the future.

LLOYDiGEORGE WILL MAKE REPLY PUBLICLY TO THE TORRENT OF CRITICISM This Announcement By Prime - Minister Takes Press By Surprise. NEAR EAST POLICY. General Interest In Political Situation Is Keener , Than Ever. ' LONDON, Oct. 11. (By tho Asso ciated Press.) Prime Minister Lloyd George has announced his iuteutlou of replyiug publicly at Manchester on Sat urday to tho torrent of condemnatory criticism Tecently aimed ut the near eastern policy of the government. This sudden announcement has taken the press, by surprise and brought gen eral interest in the domestic cpoliticul situation to a keener focus than ever. It also 'coincides with increased definite nNS in tho rumors of an curly breakup of the present coculitiou. ; the improved outlook in the near east may have opened some inner sources of information enabling. tho political, writ ers to speak with greater ecrtaiuty than heretofore; ut any rate today's morning papers have the appearance of those usually accompanying the last days of a moribund government und the curly dis solution of parliament. . Necessarily a general election is com monly discussed us a matter of more or less certainty. Tho opinion of the ma jority of the political exerts, however, is that Mr. Lloyd' George has no inten tion of resigning and that he will put ii a big fight on behalf of the coalition in which he will have the .support of Austen Chamberlain, ' in the- latter 's fortcoming speech ut Dirminghum. 1 At the snmo, time there are some who confidently refer to dissolution of parlia ment and a general election in a manner implying knowledge that the premier has already, decided on this course. Speculation is very busy over the prob able result of an appeal to tho country. The conservatives are. credited in some quarters with ability to secure a larger number of seats in the house of commons than auy other-party, though not enough to outvote a possible combination of the liberals and laborites there and such a combination is one of the many matters of conjecture. Elsewhere the growing strength of labor is emphasized, and the labor lead ers themselves speak as though they were confident o f sweeping the polls and tak ing office. It does not seem to bo sup posed that the liberals, whether Asquith ian or Georgian, would be able to rally enough undivided support to bring them into' power. One important result of tho crisis, ac cording to two or three of tho puiiers, is that fcir Robert Home, Chuneellor of the exchequer, has postponed his trip to the United States, -and that the debt funding mission will not be undertaken by an other, being held up until 8ir Robert feels free to go.

LONDON, Sept. 22. "Germany to day is in a far better position to wage another war than is Great Britain; England is dismantling her ammuni nition plants,, while Germany is in creasing her production of ammuni tion." This staement has been made before the British Association by Dr. J. A. Marker, formerly director of re search in the Ministry of Munitions. Dr. Marker declared he was not an alarmist, but simply recited facts as he saw them. In 1913 Germanv nrr- duced 90,000 tons of nitrogen chiefly for agricultural purposes, he said, while the smaller Germany of today has produced more than twice this amount. "At the end of this year Germany will have at her disposal" Dr. Marker went on, "an internal capacity for producing 200,000 tons of nitrogen a year. t This will make her entirely independent of all nitrate importation and in ease of another war she will have all the basic materials for a gi gantic output of munitions and enough fertilizer to grow a large share of her food. . It may be justifiable," he concluded, "for the Allies to allow our late ene mies to put themselves in so strong a position so soon after the war, but it may also be that those whose func tion it is to see that some, at any rate, of the provisions of the peace treaty are carried into effect, are not aware of what is happening."
