Banquet, Given By Harding's
Campaign Manager
Columbus, O.,. July 1. Ohio, the
home of the two presidential can
didates, today entered upon its first
big political week of the Campaign,
' Several members of the Demo
cratic national committee arrived
during the day for their first meet
ing here tomorrow with Governor
Cox, the Democratic nominee, and
Franklin D. Roosevelt, his running
mate. Tomorrow's meeting is ex
pected to develop preliminary plana
tor tne campaign. The committee
men will bo entertained at dinner
tomorrow, evening by Governor and
Mrs. Cox at the executive -mansion.
Members of the executive com
mittee of - the Republican national
committee will meet here Wednes

The notification ceremonies at

Park, about a mile and a half from
Senator Harding's home. Arrange
ments have been made for the
handling of n immense crowd.
Members of the Democratic state
committee will meet in Columbus
tomorrow to fix" a date and place
for holding of the Democratic state
platform campaign. -Surprise
to Harding.
Marion, Ohio, July 19. Assur
ance that the League of Nations
will lead all other issues in the
campaign, is seen by the advisers of
Senator Harding in over Sunday's
development around the camp fires
of the two big parties. . 1
The announcement in Washington
that Governor Cox stands in per
fect accord; with President Wilson
is taken here to mean a straight out
plea by the Democratic party for
Vindication and perpetuation, of the
Wilson' foreign ' policy, a policy
against which Senator Harding and
all his lieutenants here are" ready to
make the fight of their political lives.
Even before yesterday's White
House conference -was concluded.
Senator Harding had conjectured
this significance and outcome and
had taken the aggressive in a pub
lic statement, demanding that the
"mysterious foreign commitments"
embraced in the president's program
be outlined in detail so that the
American people might know what
they were asked to support.. At the
same time he gave assurances that
the Republican party never would
accept that program. -tThe
senator's statement called di
rectly on Governor Cox to put him
self on record in. regard to article
ten, the Armenian mandate and oth
er subjects, on which Mr. Wilson has
found himself in conflict with the
: Republican senate and with some in
fluential Democrats. The feeling in
the Harding ycamp today was that
the next move was up to the Demo
cratlc nominee.
The alacrity with which the
league" issue has come to the fore
has caused manifest surprise at
Harding's headquarters here. Many
of the senator's close associates had
not expected Governor Cox to take
counsel with the president at tne
outset -of his campaign nor to take
any aggressive measures to hold up
the hands of the present adminis
tration, with which, he naa not oeen
closely associated, in that event
they considered it possible, that the
leazue issue miKht be thrust more
or less IntoXhe background for
want of direct point of conflict
between .the two parties.

conflict and that circumstance la ex.
pected to help keep the league con
troversy In the spotlight. The Hard
ing managers are not unmindful that
within their own party there is some
division of opinion regarding the
league, but they believe that on a
direct - issue of acceptance ef the
Wilson policy without the dotting
of an "1 or tne crosuina m

rect, the decision would be un

- unions are meeting behind clos- ,
cd doors to discuss their future

publicly that a general strike is

satlsf actor y, they assert priv
ately that trustworthy informa
tion reaching them is that the .
award Is so low ft will not bo ae-
ccpted.
One of the subjects - being
discussed today Is whether the
. loaders can hold the men in line .
long enough to submit the award,
to a referendum vote aa pro-
vlded by union rules. Some lead
ers say the temper of the men i ,
such that they doubt whether
an Immediate walkout could be

sider and pass finally upon - the
award made by the board. Under
these circumstances, it was not
known whether the board's awards
would be submitted to a referendum
or whether final action would be
taken by the union chiefs in ses
sion here. Union leaders today de
clined to comment on the matter.
in 'connection vtlth the discus
sion of a probable referendum, it
was pointed out that a vote by the
entire membership of the brother
hoods would require a month or
more and that many union leaders
were opposed to -this delay in the
final acceptance or rejection of the
award.
Samuel E. Heberling. president of
the Swithchmen's Union, declared
last night that if it was decided that
the award was unsatisfactory, ''con
certed action would be taken by the
sixteen brotherhoods,"
The wage Increases asked by the
railroad workers, ' of whom . there
are : nearly 2,000,000, would total

nection with attaoking a while wom
an. ' The soldiers were under orders
from Governor Bickett , to "shoot
straight" if an attempt on the lite of
the prisoners was made.
The soldiers were sent from Dur
ham,' when it became apparent that
mob violence was imminent. County

on the crowd which gathered around
the Jail' to let the law take its ooursej
and assisted in keeping the prison
ers safe until the - arrival ; of the
troops. . ,
Th three negroes were placed In

1,600 to 2,000 men. gathered about
the Jail and made several unsuccess
ful attempts to gain admission to the
prison,
The attack on the woman was
made by a masked negro early Sat

The Crime
. One of the most brutal cases of
criminal assault in the history of
North Carolina occurred midway be
tween Burlington and Graham Sat
urday night around 9:J0, when Mrs.
A. At Riddle, wife of an ex-soldier
and prominently connected, was as
saulted in her home by an unknown
masked negro.
The husband of the assaulted wom
an had left their home, which is lo
cated on the Burlington-Graham
trolley line near Rainey- hospital,
about 9 o'clock, intending to go up
town. .t '
Shortly after her husband's leav
ing Mrs. Riddle went into a bedroom
to put her foiir-year-old child to bed.
After putting the little one in, she
came out into the hall and was con
fronted by a masked negro, armed
with a revolver.1 ....
The negro warned her that an out
cry would mean the death of her and
her child. Mrs. Riddle threatened
to call her husband, and she was told
by the negro that he knew where her
husband was. She was then forced
by the threat of death to submit to
the fiend., After committing the
crime the negro made off, without
Mrs, Riddle's getting enough detail
of his appearance to make later
identification possible.
A few minutes later the husband
returned and found... his wife in an
extrem&ly critical condition, and
medical aid was immediately sum
moned. '
The home of the Riddles is more
than a hundred yards from the near
est neighbor; and is located out of
the police districts of both Graham
and Burlington. The sheriff of Ala-,
ma nee county was engaged in a liq
uor raid, but other county author!-
Hies were notified and bloodhounds
were brought from Raleigh and plac
ed on the trail of th assailant.

GERMAN PRINCE,
BROKE, SUICIDES
The Youngest Son of the Late
Kaiser Ends His Check
ered Career
(By AHAclat! Prtin)
Berlin, July 19. Friends of prince
Joachim of Hoherliollern deny
stories current ia Berlin that his
suicide at Pottadam Sunday was
hrought about by scandal. They
say that aside from his marital dis
appointments the .prince was acute
ly embarrassed thru his restricted
finances. Like his brothers, he is
believed to have been sadly in need
of funds, owing to the limited al
lowance from the crown funds per
mitted him by the Prussian govern
ment. Prince Joachim is also reported to
have been brooding over the ulti
mate fate of the former royal house
and the criticism to which his ra
ther has been subjected in Ger
many. By those who were close to the
Hohensollern family' when it was in
power in Berlin Jrintee Joachim was
said to have been the favorite son
of the former German empress and
fears are expressed that the news of
his suicide may have a fatal effect
upon her. as she recently suffered
an acute , recurrence of her heart
trouble.
Prince Joaohim was born Decem
ber 17,1890, In Berlin. He served
'In the late war on both the western
and eastern fronts. In the flrat
year of the war he was wounded in
the fighting in France, and for a
long time It was feared that he
would not recover. When he did
recover he was transferred to the
Russian front where he had several
narrow escapes from capture and
Afterwards suffered a serious Illness.
After the defeat of the Ger
mans ,there were rumors that Em
peror Wiltlam would abdicate In
favor of Joachim.'
Joachim was married In 1918, to
Princess Marie Augustine, of An
halt, who then was just 17 years
old., A dispatch from Paris early
In the present year said Joaohim
'had brought a suit for divorce. .
The prince during the war, was
ranked as a popular hero In Ger
many. Since the end of the war lit
tle has been heard of him. One re
port was to the effect that he hoped
to come to the United States after
the peace treaty was signed.'
Ex-Kmpcror Greatly Affected.
Doom, Holland, July 19. The
announcement of Prince Joachtm'e
death came to Doom Castle like
a thunderbolt.
The former German empress, who
during the last week has been again
seriously troubled by her heart ail
ment. Is believed not to have been
informed of the tragedy, c The ex
emperor, however, has been told of
it, and has been greatly affected by
the untimely end of his favorite
son.
' Prince Joachim saw his parents
on the quiet recently. It having been
only the middle of June when he
paid a visit at Doom Castle here.
Great Blow to His Brother,
Wierengen, Holland, July 19 The
tidings of the sudden death of
Joachim came as a great blow to his
brothecthe former German Crown
Prince, who only this morning
learned tne news from Adjutant von
Mulhelm.
The relations between Joaohim
and Frederick William were always
of the most friendly nature, the
former being the favorite of the fam
ily. The ex-crown prince conferred
this morning with Burgomaster
Pereboom and probably will go to
Doom, the refuge of the former em
peror,, this afternoon.

QUELLED BY FORCE
Sinn : Feiners Attack Autos
Carrying Troops, 60 or More
Being Injured; Two Killed
Cork, July 19. Two military
lorries, laden with soldiers, which
passed thru the streets of Cor at 3
o'clock this morning were attacked
by civilians with bombs and blown
up. .Between 60 and TO soldiers
were injured. The civilians threw
29 bombs.
' This attack followed a night of
terror into which the city was plung
ed as a' result of street fighting, in
which Sinn Feiners and military par
ticipated. Two men were killed and
some 40 wounded in the gun fight
ing, which brought the total casual
ties well over the one hundred mark.
The Sinn Feiners used the "guer
rilla" tactics, which had been out
lined in the plan of campaign of the
republican army.
: Cork, July 19. This city was in a
state of terror last night as a result
of street fighting, which broke out
after a bayoneting Incident In the
street, in which a former soldier was
killed. About 10 p. m. Indiscrimi
nate firing started in virtually all
sections of the city. The casualties
reported up to this morning were
one dead and fourteen wounded. -
The firing, which was participat
ed in, it is stated by military patrols
in . motor lorries and armored cars,
caused eon-vernation. Frightened
women and children hurried into
side streets ana doorways . and
knocked frantically at numerous
houses for admission. . Volunteer
patrols hurried to their assistance,
but several young girls and former
soldiers -already bad, been hit by
flying bullets and were taken to the
hospital. '
The rush of civilians from the
principal streets was followed by
the volunteers, who warned the peo
ple to lie down while the volunteer
guards watched the movements of
the armored car.
Most of the casualties occurred fn
the northern part of the city where
the infirmary staff dealt with the
more serious cases, retaining the
worst and sending the other wounded
bom after giving them treatment;

poration Working Together
PLANS ARE GIVEN OUT
Fin Step In Again Placing German

' To Be Built; Hamburg Desllif -ed
To .Reanmo Supremacy
: Hamburg, July II. As further
particulars come to light regarding
the agreement between the Hamburg-American
Steamship company,
and the American Ship and Com
merce Corporation, by which the
former trade routes are to be open
ed to American shipping, the belief
is deepening in shipping and finan
cial circles here that it constitutes
one of the most momentous events;
for Germany since the war. Thru It
the Germans see the means of re
gaining touch with the outside
world and an opportunity for Ham
burg to re-establish a semblanne, at
least, of its former position as a
great port. i
But apart from the commercial
benefits expressed, the Germans at
tach much pollikul significance to
the agreement. This was emphaalied
today by Wllhelm Cuno.general man
ager of the Hamburg-American line,
who in an Interview with the Asso
ciated Press declared:
"I call your especial' attention to
the fact that the agreement must
not only bo considered from a busi
ness viewpoint, but must be regarded
as a trial at re-establishing good re
lations between the two countries.!
The way we have taken will lie the1
only possible one to resume rela
tions between Germany and foreign1
countries In the near future. The
war left a deep gulf between the
belligerent countries and disorganis
ed entire economic order. The nor
mal state of things can only be re
stored If representatives of econo-i
mlc Interests endeavor to link them
selves Into a more binding condition
than which was possible before the
war." j
Herr Cuno stated the Spa confer
ence supplied the "best proof that
co-operation of nations cannot be ef
fected by a victorious government
dictating decrees to a beaten govern
ment."! I -
"The experience In our negotia
tions with the United States con
firms this," continued Herr Curto,
"From, the first day we took up dis
cussions with the full knowledge
that this flrit renewal of friend
ship on an important and vital point
will have to be sincere and binding,"
Herr Cuno said he was satisfied
the agreement would prove a suc
cess, believing it would be the re
opening of the peaceful work rela
tions between the two countries.
- It Is understood that there Is no
foundation for reports printed In
German newspapers that American
ships would be placed at the Hamburg-American
Line's disposal,
That a huge shipbuilding jrogrum
Is contemplated not onl by the
Hamburg-American company, but
by other German lines. Is evidenced
by preparations now In progress.
It ia believed that If sufficient ma
terial cannot be had, arrangements
will be made to import American
steel,- which at the present rate of
exchange can be laid down cheaper
than the German product.
Meantime on the lower end of
Hamburg harbor a hew shipbuilding
plant which, It is said, is destined to
be the largest In Europe, ia hearing
completion. The Hamburg-American
Linn Is one of the principal stock
holders In this concern, which will
begin operations within eighteen
