The State Corporation has fixed next Monday as the date for hearing the matter of increase of 25 per cent in intrastate freight rates and 12 1-2 per cent express rates, for which ap plications have been on file the last two months.

ES THREAT TO DEPORT Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 21 Charg ing that Pennsylvania Coal Company officials threatened to deport him as a Bolsheviki if he refused to sign an order sending striking miners of the Pennsylvania Coal Company back to work, Barney Halabruda, a member .of the grievance committee of No. 14 aolliery, has made a statement. He said that Pennsylvania Coal Company officials lured ihim to the federal" building at Scranton, where he faced eighteen men, including fed eral officers and administration union leaders. Hallabruda reported to his men that "Edward Weichel, superin tendent jof No. 14 colliery, asked me what country I. came from and I said Lithuania. He said:' "You are a Bolshevik, and if you don't sign these papers we will send you back to Europe. ' "I said, All right.; if I don't get my rights I want to go back." The third coal company region af- fected by the strike is the Lehigh Valley. The miners employed at the William A. Colliery at Duryea have struck because the company refused to allow for abnormal mining. Greenville Club Arraigned. The Williamston Enterprise does not hesitate to say that "Greenville's behavior toward Williamston and other members of the league, and her general attitude .toward the league and its officials, her utter disregard for its laws and her failure to play off tier games with the stronger teams justly gave the second series to Wil liamston; furthermore, that not one material statement Greenville has made in the whole discussion is true as far as her treatment toward her opponents is concerned. MINER CHARG Alt RICH'S TRIBUTE TO JEM! Ill 1 New York, Aug. 21. America will pay tribute to Jenny Lind on Oct. 6, the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of the Swedish Nightingale, whom P. T. Barnum brought to this country in 1850 on her spectacular concern tour of nearly two years. The centennial is to be commemo rated throughout the music-loving world. In Sweden, in England and in other countries where she sang, fitting plans are under way to honor the greatest singer, of her time the fine, noble-hearted woman, whose charity was as rare as her art. Her admirers in New York city will celebrate the event in an unique way. They will give an historical concert reproduce the first concern Jenny. Lind gave in this country, bringing back the stage picture and atmos phere of that memorable night . of Sept. 11, 1850. The same program will be given. The proceeds of the concert will be given to the same cha ritable institutions to which Jenny Lind gave the proceeds of the origi nal concert. Frieda Hempel will appear in the role of her famous predecessor. She will wedr an exact copy of the gown worn by the nineteenth century diva; will sing the same arias, and play her own accompaniments to the same group of songs . on the same piano Jenny Lind played them a piano au tographed by the Swedish Nightin gale on the night of her debut. Berlin, Aug. 21. The coming Russo-Cemian agreement to take the place of the Brest-LitovsJc treaty will be drafted in Moscow and not Berlin if the present ten tative plana of the German and Soviet government are carried out, according to persons in the confidence of both. i In circles in both governments the view is held that Berlin is so honey combed with Allied agents as to be subject to the influence of the En tente. These conditions do not pre. vail at Moscow, and for that reason it is held to be a more suitable place for drafting the treaty than the Ger man capital. The first step in the direction of! picking up and replacing the Russo German diplomatic and economic threads will, according to reliable -persons n close touch with the gov ernment, be the sending of an eco nomic mission to Moscow. The tak ing up of diplomatic relations will be next. "Official Germany is not yet com mitted toward Russia, but public sen timent, which is essential to a move of such far-reaching consequences by the government, is. The foreign of fice is' still in a position to change its course should it find it best to do so," said a person in the confidence of the inner circles to me as I met him com ing from a conference with Kopp. 11 Washington, Aug. 21.

MAY HAVE BEEN POISON'D New York, Aug. 21. The autopsy made on the torso of a young woman found in North river, with head, arms and legs hacked off with a saw,- has proved that the woman un doubtedly was the victim of a crime. One new fact that" is brought to light today, and a fact that has impressed the police as im portant, is that the murder evi dently is a trunk mystery. Reasons for this theory are based upon the fact that a broken trunk was seen floating near the torsio when it was found. Only the lower part of the -trunk was seen the lid wa3 missing. Be fore the workmen could get to it, it had floated far down stream. Search is being made for the trunk today along the river front. Facts brought to light by the au topsy show that the woman, who was white, was between twenty-five and thirty years of age. She was about five feet four inches in height, land weighed about 130 pounds. " There were no gun shot wounds found on the body. According to the physicians it had been iiT"the" wateFioTaTJouF' ten weeks. Examination of the internal organs disclosed that the' woman had been married. The organs will be brought io the mortuary chapel, this city, where a chemical analysis wili be made in an effort to determine whether death was due to poisoning. GOV. COX ASSAILS- g " f1 Orrville, Ohio," Aug. 21. -Another spirited attack on senate oligarchy was made here today by Governor Cox, who stopped en route to Canton, vhere he speaks toriight at the Cox Pay celebration; ?, " ' "Hi! republican candidate has de voted his 'front porch' session to a defense of the senate as an institu tion and the list of the-senators who took charge of an important part of the government," said Governor Cox. "It is our contention that this group of men have formed a domineering, arrogant oligarchy in the senate and deliberately interfered with the wel fare of the world and delayed read justment in this country, all to the distinct injury and disadvantage of the people." This same republican senate group, he declared, was trying to annex the presidency. Cox continued his attack upon the republican campaign contributions.

ORSO MYSTERY CHANCELLOR NEWMAN IS SUED WRIT OF INJUNC TION TO RESTRAIN FROM CERTIFYING RATIFICATION. Nashville, Aug. 21. The Tennessee . House of Assem - bly defeated the motion to reconsider the action of rati fying the euffrage amend ment and ordered the resolu tion transmitted to the sen ate. Chancellor Newman issu ed a writ of injunction re straining Governor Roberts, Secretary of State Stevena, and the speakers of house and senate from certifying to Secretary of State Colby Tennessee's s ratification of the suffrage amendment. Nashville, Aug. 21. Mqre than thirty members of the Tfcnnessflfl house, opposed to suffrage, are miss ing from their hotels early today and arg reported to have left shortly af ter midnight for Alabama, in an af fort to break the quorum in the house and delay final action on the woman .suffrage amendment, When the house met at 1049 H was apparent that it lacked a quo rum. Suffragist supporters moved ft suspension of the roll-call, but the speaker ordered the dark to call the roll. Nashville, Tenn.,' Aug. 21. The motion to reconsider ratification of the suffrage amendment was not call ed up when the lower house of the Tennessee legislature met yesterday. The house adjourned after' a brief session to meet again at ten o'clock this morning. . Whether or not the motion for re consideration of the vote will be call. 4i up depends entirely upon Speaker Walker, who changed his vote from negative to affirmative, and made the reqonsideration motion. , Walker has power, under the rules of the legisla ture, to call up the motion, but the time limit for action- expires today. If no action is then taken the sec retary of state can certify that Ten nessee has ratified suffrage amend ment. If the action of the house stands, and leaders here think it will, Ten nessee will be the thirty-sixth state to ratify. Mr. Walker may take the suffragists unawares and call the roll on his motion to reconsider when some of their men are out of the house. But the women are on the alert and will watch for trickery. Suffrage leaders realize that unless they hold their lines the fight may still be lost. If the house does not vote to reconsider, the affirmative vote of Speaker Walker will appear on the journal and give the amend ment a total of fifty. Suffrage lead ers greatly desire fifty votes, which in Tennessee, is a constitutional, ma jority. It is intimated in hotel lobbies that the opposition is making efforts to induce some of the lukewarm mem bers who supported the amendment to leave Nashville. They say these members have discharged their pledge and are no longer bound to remain here. If some of them do leave -the opposition will have no trouble in re considering the vote.

U. S. FINDS SECRET OF With This Invention Germans Hopexl To Destroy Brit- ish Navy. STEERING FROM LAND Washington, Aug. 21. The German secret of operating a battleship at full speed by wire- Um has btnn discovered by the Navy Department. By means of severe tests on the battle ships Iowa and Ohio the plan has been so much improved up on that it has become practic ally American. This was learned from high effi iais of the tfayy Pepartment, The testa have been, in progress on the American battleship? during the past six months, and have now reached their Anal stage. It Is understood that these tests have been more than gratifying, -"The Iowa and Ohio are obsolete vtaaeit, bt jot aatffctone tonnage and peed that a aucoewful test with them means success with the largest vessels afloat. The practical application of the discovery, naval officials believe, will make naval warfare of the future sharp and deceive for the govern ment that can monopolize the inven tion. This government knows that England, Japan and France were aware late in the war that Germany had solved the principle of the prob lem. So far as reports show, how ever, those countries are working in effectually on theories of their own. It was . with this invention that Germany, hoped to destroy the British navy. In fact, it is known that a very practical demonstration was giv en at Zeebrugge. With the operator four miles away the hulk of a vessel was directed against British blocking squadrons. One of the vessels was sunk and materially damaged. All that officials admit is that the secret Is based on the principle of concentrating electrical energy on the steering apparatus. They say that it has been known 'for many years that objects could be moved in the water by "wire," and in a general way it has been known that it could be done by wireless or radio. Ger many, it is stated, worked the prob lem to a finish and .was about to put it into general operation when the war ended. The practical application by the navy was made possible by a certain modification which is 'entirely Amer ican, and which officers say it will be their object to keep secret as long as possible. GOOD fffi FOR ALL MEAT EATERS Washington, Aug. 21. Here's good news for all meat eaters ex cept those who insist upon having beef.' Prices for pork, veal, mut ton and Iamb are lower today than they have been for a long time. Beef Js higher than at any previous time this month. The Bureau of Markets of the Department of Agriculture has is- gue4j xhU bulletins "With fresh pork Joining in the decline, fresh meats in gen eral are today lower in the prin cipal consuming markets than at any time , during the present month. The low range for light pork loines, $30 to $34 per 100 pounds wholesale, is $2 lower than previously this month. Good mutton at $14 to $1$ per 100 pounds is $7 to $9 lower.

Prpsi- ! dent Irigoyen's aumirvistration ha3 'UKt announced through Finance Min- ' ster Salaberry that it will oppose the prohibition bill recently introduced into the Chambe.r of Deputies. Nevertheless, an official move in fa vor .of the restriction of the liquor traffic is seen In the terms of the rec iprocal commercial travellers' treaty recently agreed upon between United States Ambassador Stimson and the President. This treaty, which will probably be drawn up and signed in Washington during Ambassador Stimsoji's visit on leave, will provide for a single Fed eral license for Amorican salesmen in Argentina, instead of licenses for each province, but will exclude them from selling alcoholic beverages un der it. The prohibition clause was requested by President Irigoyen, it is learned. It was accepted by the U. S. government notwithstanding the fact that no such clause appears in other commercial travellers' treaties nego. tinted by the United States. The American policy of uniformity for treaties of this sort has thus been waived in favor of Argentina. Newark, Aug. 21.

This little number furnished by the Grand Secretary and his clerk was not on the program of the convention. News of the (romance and hasty marriage had the effect of a monkey wrench thrown into the wheels of the convention ma chinery.
