MID MUST PEE IS ONE
Washington, Oct. 7.—Disagreement
over rules proposed for the governing of
ihe industrial conference called by Presi
dent Wilson resulted in the conference
adjourning eventually until tomorrow.
Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the in
ferior, had been elected permanent chair
man.
As proposed' by committee, the rules
provided that all conclusions and deci
sions must be arrived at Dy unanimous
vote of the three groups representing
capital, labor and the public, while the
decision of each individual group would
be by a majority of the members of that
group. The rule was attacked by John
Spargo of New York, a delegate rep
resenting the public.
Might As Well Quit ,Says Spargu.
Mr. Spargo declared the conference
might as well adjourn if the provision
of the rules was adopted whereby a ina
jority vote of any group was necessary
tiefore a member of the group could in
troduce any subject for discussion. Such
a rule, he asserted, hindered especially
the public group, which was not com
posed of delegates representing a homo
geneous interest, like the labor group,
but contained men and women of diverse
activities. He objected particularly be
cause. he said, there was no provision for
minority expression.
Thomas L. Chadbourne, of New lork.
replying for the committee, declared the
provision was believed necessary to
obtain efective action instead of debate.
Each Group to Consider Rules.
On motion of Frederick P. Fish, of
the employers group, the conference ad
journed to allow each group to consider
Ihe rules separately.
Other provisions of the rules reported
by the committee were that the meetings
be open to the public and the press and
that there be two daily sessions, from
a. m. to 12:30 p. m.. and from
2:30 p. m. to 5:30 p. m. It was expressly
stated that there should be no meetings
wn Sunday, indicating that the conference
:vas expected to continue two weeks or
nore.
The rules were presented by W. p.
Hahon, of the labor delegation, chair
man of the rules committee.
Committee to Sit on Resolutions.
A committee of 15 was named to re
commend for or against all resolutions
introduced.
The employers group was the only one
ready, lmder the rules, with any busi
ness, Frederick P. Fish, of Boston, of
fering a resolution, declaring the need of
the industrial situation was "increased
production, adequate compensation for
I services and just return on capital." and
" that each delegate should be guided in
his actions by the good of the country as
a whole, rather than by the interests of
his particular group.
Motion then was made to adjourn,
which evoked quick protest from dele
gates who have been demanding strenu
ous action from the conference.
Business First Day Barred.
(»avin McN'abe. San Francisco, a rep
resentative of the public, said he would
offer another resolution to give the con
ference something to do, but. John Spar
go made a point of order that the res
olution had not been presented to the
group first, and Mr. McNabe was forced
to desist. It then was suggested that
the committee of 15 hold a meeting and
the groups also get together, as a means
of cxpeditirg business, but this was
deemed unwise, as the committee mem
bers would be absent from the group
meetings and besides the conference had
no business before it. except perfunc
tory election of its chairman.
After much discussion about the ruj.es,
it was decided to adjourn to meet at 0:30
tomorrow, when each goup is expected to
have something to offer for considera
tion.
Disregarding the rules, the conference

N. D. Attorney General
Is Cited to Appear and
Defend Actions.
Bismarck, N.D., Oct. 7.—The state
supreme court today issued an in
junction removing P. E. Hallderson
as temporary receiver of the ciosed
Scandinavian-American bank of
Fargo, and citing Attorney General
William Langer to appear before
the supreme court October 15 and
show cause why the injunction should
not be made permanent and another
receiver appointed.
Hallderson, an assistant, to State
Auditor Carl Khontzky, was placed
in charge of the Fargo bank's affairs
when it was ordered closed last
Thursday by the state banking
board.
The injunction was issued on ap
plication of State Bank Examiner
0. E. Lofthus, who alleged his pow
ers had been abrogated by Langer
and Kohntzky, acting as a majority
of the state banking board. The law,
according to the application, pro
vides that the bank examiner only
shall have the power to nominate a
receiver.
At the same time, State Auditor
Kohntzky obtained a court decree
directing Auditor General Cathro to
show cause why the state bank ex
aminers should not be permitted to
investigate the Bank of North
Dakota.
Cathro this morning refused to

Senator I'oindester replied that men
who sought to hamper the allies during
the war now were among the principal
advocates of the league. These men.
he added, have expressed sympathy for
the ^ Germans and Russian bolsheviki.
"Thesenator has charged me with pro

Sheriff and Posse.
Wiertorv W. Va., Oct. 7.—Swooping
down on alleged I. W. W. headquarters in
an old barn on the Hancock county road,
a quarter of a mile south of here, today.
Sheriff Armour Cooner and a squad of
50 deputies arrested a number of the
supposed ringleaders and confiscated a
large quantity of literature, books and
papers of the organization, including a
membership roll.
The sheriff then arrested ISO men
whose names were on the membership
roll, marched them to the public square,
forced them to kneel and kiss the Ameri
can flag.
After this 180 of the men were re
leased and driven out of town, while the
other six were taken to the New Cum
berland jail and locked up, pending action
by the federal authorities.
The coup was carried out without se

MSI Mi. 10 HE
Rome. Oct. 7.—A royal decree has
been issued ratifying the peace treaties.
King Victor Emmanuel signed the royal
decree ratifying the German and Aus
trian t reaties Monday.
Ratification of the German treaty by
the royal decree of the king of Italy
virtually completes the steps necessary
for putting into effect the pact between
Germany and the allied powers, which
was signed at Versailles on June 2*.
and which stipulated it would become op
erative when ratified by three of the
great powers.
The British parliament, has already
ratified the treaty and the document now
awaits only ratification by the last of
Great Britain's dominions to act upon
it. the Australian commonwealth, be
fore becoming binding upon Great Brit
ain.
Approval was given the convention by
the French chamber of deputies last
week, and the senate is expected to take
similar action Friday or Saturday.
The royal decree of the Italian mon
arch must receive approval from the
next parliament which will meet at Rome
on December 1. but it is considered cer
tain there will be little trouble in secur
ing concurrence.
Italy, by the reported action of her
king, is the first of the powers to ratify
the treaty with Austria.

Prohibition Stirs
Norway; Plebescite
on Liquor Demanded
Christiana. Oct. 7.— A vote on pro
hibition has been asked in Norway by
plebescite.
The country has been greatly ex
cited over the question, and Premier
Knudsen announced that he would
resign if prohibition failed of adop
tion.
The measure applies only to whisky,
brandy and other strong liquors.
Champagne and all other wines and
beers are not affeted.
The law governing prohibition in
the United States figured in the cam
paign to a considerable extent.
Wartime prohibition has been in
operation since Dec. 19.
Despite this prohibition, arrests for
intoxication have been steadily in
creasing throughout the country, and
in some places have been more than
doubled.
Substitutes for liquor, especially
denatured alcohol, are being used
everywhere. Illegal distillation also
is increasing, according to the official
reports.
It is feared that France, Spain and
Portugal, from which countries liquor
was Imported, may retaliate with a
tariff on Norwegian products, such as
timber and fish, thereby injuring es
pecially the Norwegian fish trade. GO

RAID ON GARY RADICALS MARKS DAY
OF MARTIAL LAW IN STEEL STRIKE TOWN
Chicago, Oct. 7. Quiet reigned in the
Chicago steel strike area tonight after
a day of raids on the homes of agitators
in Gary, where regular army troops are
in control. Indiana state troops en
forced martial law in East Chicago and
Indiana Harbor.
The day's chief developments were the
charges made by Major General Leonard
Wood of the central department of the
army and Mayor Hodges of Gary, that
"reds" had been at. work attempting to
foment trouble—and the raids by govern
ment agents.

Chicago, Oct. 7.-—Handling the throttle j
t'L the locomotive of his special train
-Äis a diversion for King Albert of the ;
Belgians, today, as he sped across Ohio, Î
Indiana and a corner of Illinois, passing :
around the main part of Chicago tonight.
The king, Queen Elizabeth and the Duke
of Brabant were traveling unofficially !
on the way to the Pacific coast.
Much of the time. Albert wore a flan- j
ne! army shirt and a cap and few of the j
townsfolk« recognized him as his train !
stopped or slowed at stations along the :
route at many of which school children,
cheering or bringing flowers were o:i j
hand to greet the royal party.
At Wauseon. Ohio, he took the throttle i
from the grimy pilot, who stood close by j
for an emergency, but his majesty needed
no assistance, for he showed a thorough -
knowledge of engineering. He ran tr.c
heavy train without a polt for ten miles :
and then returned to bis car to wash up
for dinner.
At Toledo, the royal party was driven
from the statiou to the museum of art, .
where there was an address of welcome
by Mayor Cornell Schreiber, a brief talk '
by Albert, and a few words of greeting
to his townsmen by I'resident Brand '
Whitlock. ambassador to Belgium,
In his response to the address of wcl
come, the king said he appreciated the
splendid feeling (»und in Toledo. There
exists between Toledo and all Belgians
a tie. and a very strong one, he said in'
the person of Mr. Whitlock. "Every citi- j
zeu of Belgium loves Mr. Whitlock, as
well as any citizen of Toledo," he de- i
dared.

None of the alleged radicals were locked

Federal agents seized much inflamma

ver Adds Winning Run
in Tenth.
Cincinnaai, Oct. 7.—Cincinnati
took the game in the first half
of a ten-inning contest today,
then Chicago took it for one
run more in the latter half,
and the task of shinning up the
Redlands park staff and mea
suring it for the championship
bunting of 1919 was given a
set-back. In other words, Chi
cago refused at the critical mo
ment to surrender the world's
baseball championship series, and
the matter now rests four games
to two in favor of the Reds,
who, had they won today, would
have taken the pennant.
Cincinnati looked like a cer
tain winner in the third and
fourth rounds, when four Red
legs crossed the plate. In the
fifth, however, the Sox turned
two passes and a single into a
tally, and in the sixth, two dou
bles and two singles were the
major factors in the three run.«
which tied the score.
To Buck Weaver, sterling
third baseman, who wielded a
mighty stick, fell the distinction
of recording the winning run in
the tenth. He was the first man
up and doubled to center, his
second two-sacker of the game.
Ruether Forded Oiit.
The partisan crowd became bushed and
then began to chant encouragement tr.
Ring, who had displaced Ruether as
pitcher for the Reds.
Jackson tried a bunt and missed, but
on a second attempt the ball went a few
feet down the base Hue and was per
fectly fielded. Jackson crossed the sack
with time to spare. Weaver landing on
third. "Hap" Felseh, who had delivered
a^ double in the sixth, struck out, hut
Gandil, who had previously delivered
nothing, singled and Weaver scored.
In the tenth the Reds went out in
one, two, three order, and the day closed
with the series standing four victories
for Cincinnati and two for Chicago.
.Gleason Gives Team Lecture.
The Cincinnati team entered the field
confident that they had so drubbed the
visitors that the last ounce of fight had
departed from them. The latter, how
ever. had been hauled over the coals 'n
unmistakable fashion by Manager Glea
son during the forenoon, and they came
on the field looking desperate rather than
hopeful.
"Dutch" Ruether, who became a local
idol by his great pitching and perfect
batting in the first game of the series,
in which Chicago was humiliated 0 to 1,
was trotted out to deliver the coup de
grace to the American leaguers. The
crowd gave him a rousing welcome. Al
though he held his adversaries hitless
during the first three innings, experts
noted that the Sox were slugging him
savagely into the outfield or down the
foul line.
Sox's Winner in Box Again.
There were none out in the sixth when
Manager Moran. more in sorrow than
anger, sent Ruether t» the bench and
.Tim Ring, a right-hander, who pitched
the Reds to a 2 to 0 victory at Chicago,
was called on to save the day. He was
wild but effective until the tenth.
Dick Kerr, who pitched Chicago's only
previous victory, a 3 to 0 shutout at.
Chicago, ngain was relied upon by Man
ager Gleason. and though 11 hits were
registered against him, he was steady in
the pinches aud kept tliem well scat
tered. save for his two bad innings.
The stands were packed when J. Col
lins, the first of the Sox batsinen, faced
Ruether.
The feature of the second inning was
the force-out of Duncan at third. The
mighty Ruether, whose great batting in
the first, game was remembered with
cheers by the crowd, responded with aa
easy out, Kerr to Gandil.
