LONDON, Dec. 4. An agreement

It is understood Groat Britain is pre

declared that the Republican party
stood for full political self-determination
and held to a hard and fast set
of rules Turning to reconstruction
problems, he d all first with business
Which, he said, must be treated with
an appreciation of its fundamental im
portance, and not as a "demagogue's
Bhuttlecqi k."
"The business men of the counttry,"
continued Mr Hays, ' Ihe entitled to
every consideration, including the
right to run their own business Taxes
which kill initiative must not be
levied. There should be a larger in
heritance tax on the very large in
heritances. The Republican part
from its incept i n has stood against
undue federalization of industries and
activities There must be a strong fed

ownership The railroad problem will
be solved and solved fairly, with pro
vision for a just return on real in

ance for essential development and
extensions We are against paternal
Ism in government and we are against
that form of pedagogic paternalism
which has developed recently in this
country "
In regard to labor, Mr Hays de
clared that the economic situation was
simply a matter of Roosevelt's "square
deal."
"To that end." he said, "we must
develop a reasonable method for hon
est and efficient labor to acquire an
interest In the business to which la
mor is expected to give Its best ef
forts. Pending this development, an
equilibrium between production and
wages must be established."
In concluding his remarks, the Rc

recent special session of congress had
saved the nation nearly a billion dol

Injunction.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind . Dee 4 Machln
j cry of the department of Justice wi
put In motion today to nrlnc about ap
Ipeamnce in federal court of all of the
M International and district officials I1
the United Mine Workers of America
aralnet whom information charging
' criminal contempt of court was Mod
yesterday with t'nited States District
'judge A. n. Anderson The miners in
charged with violating th- injunction
I Againat furtherance of the strike of coal
miners.
I With the appearance this morning of
' John L Lewis, .ifting president and other
loffielals of the organization attached to,
international headquarters hen, to fui
! nlfh bonds fixed at $10 000 by Judge An-
derMon. the first steps in the case against
the defendants In Indiana were completed.
The capiases served on these offl.
' rials are returnable next Tuesday rnorn
j ing at ten o'clock when Judge Anderson j
will hear the first argtiments in the con
tempt proceedings.
Removal Proceeding
Officials of the union who reside In I
ourt districts outside of Indiana. It !
'was stated by attorneys for the govern- ,
ment. will be subjects of removal proceed- i
ings. looking to their early appearance i
i before Judge Anderson as soon as tha I
I necessary papers enn be mailed to tho I
various district. Dan W. Sims, especial
(Tpited States district attorney, in chargo J
ol the Injunction proceedings in Indiana, j
; declared yesterday that the prosecution .
will be pushed with all the force at th s i
j handT of the Koxernment and that the j
action will be carried to every officer of
every locil participating in the strike.
The general charges against the mln- j
ers' heads allege that since the Issuance
Of the strike or action to limit the pro- j
iduction of coal, every official has violated
the injunction by passively consenting
I that the strike be continued and by main
' talnlng an attitude toward the member
j ship and by statements to "representa
tives of The Associated Press and news
papers that said membership will not ijo
back to work, but will remain on strike."
Mandate Violated
The attitude of the government
throughout lis recital of evidence agnln.-t
the miners Is that by merely refn.inim
from returning to work after the strlk
order had been rescinded by the union (
leaders and the Injunction had been Is
sued, the men are "guilty of vlolatin-'
the court's mandate.
An important chaigo and one on which
the (,o eminent is relying to prove its
case Is that the officials when Issuing
their notice that the strike order hnJ
been rescinded mimeographed the notice
on blank paper and eliminated from tut
copies an imprint of the official seal of
the union. It Is added that upon receipt
of the notice the unions throughout the
country took the position and "so stated
in the daily press and by wrd of mouth
that the withdrawal and cancellation no
tice was defective, Invalid and without
authority.' 'because it did not bear this
seal and because the signatures of offl
elals were printed and not signed by
him.
BRITISH ISSUE
STATEMENT OF
SCAPA SUING
Secret Instructions of German
Admiral to Officers
Disclosed.
LONDON. Dec 4 (By the Associat
ed Press) In view of the German gov
ernment's denial of responsibility for
the sinking of the Orman warships In
the Scapa Flow the British admiralty
published a number of documents, in
cluding all the secret instructions of
the German admiral, von neuter, to his
officers on the method of scut. ling
of vessels whenever the signal to do
so was givn from his ship, the Em
den. his intention being to send the
vessels to the bottom should the Brit
ish attempt to seize them without the
consent of the German government.
Referring to the possibility of Ger
many agreeing to surrender the ---hips.
Admiral von Reuter said in one of
the documents:
"Then the ships will be handed oer
to the lasting disgrace of those who
placed us in this position"
The weightiest document the ndmi
ralty discloses is a letter from Rear
Admiral Adolph von Trotha. chif of
the German admiralty written to von
Reuter, dated Berlin. May 0. and mark
ed "most secret. ' It was found in the
safe of the Emden at the time of the
salvaging of that cruiser.
It gives no actual instructions for
the scuttling of the vessels, though
one sentence runs "their surrender to
the enemy remains out of the ques
tion." The admiralty does not claim this
as proof that the German government
ordered the scuttling of the warships
but It claims that the leiter proves
the German government was able to
communicate with von Reuter. More
over, it sas. opportunities were avail
able for such communication, notably
in the arrival of two German trans
ports, the Bardenia and ihe Schleawlg

jthen deceased for at hast i.hre

Sarah Tabor, the mother, a $2000
mortgage held in Maudes name for
two lots In Biteley s addition to Law-'
ton.
This was brought uut today in the
questioning ol George Gould, clerk in
the county rccordrr": oliic"-, by Prose
cutor Horace H. Adams, although the
, person who forged the signature was
not named at the inquest Mr. Adams
said he would question Walter Tabor

Ing man was the chief witness at the
inquest today.
she disclosed the chronological se
quence of Walter's movements from
ihe fall of 1915. when some witnesses
'assert Maude died, down to two week
ago On No ember 18 she received
'from Waller ,i basket ui apples lrom
an Oregon town she didn't remember
the name of, she said.
. The witness was quite positive about
some incidents and consistently vague
about others. In particular, she could
I not remember that Mrs. Sarah Tabor
(had ever mentioned to her that Maude
was in a critical condition. She had
j never heard Joseph Virgo, the under
taker, mentioned as Maude's sweet
I heart, she insisted.
Changes His Story
And yet Virgo, taking the witness
stand al his own request this morning,
reversed his testimony of Tuesday by
Stating that he vas aware of Maude's
I condition, which had reached th-r crit
ical stage at the day of her death.
I And also, that Mrs. Sarah Tabor, the
mother, had asked him to perform an
ill. al operation on November l. 1 91 r
He refused and he left Lawton and
did not again visit the Tabors until
the spring of 1916 He didn't see
Maude then, he said.
Mrs Walter Tabor first testified
that she did not learn of Maude's
death until the automobile party ar
rived at Glendive two weeks after La
bor day. Later she aid that sh" re
1 ceived a telegram from Walter dated
Lawton and reading "Maude dead "
Earlier in the summer, Mrs. Sarah
Tabor told her. she said, that she had
I started west with Maude, who was suf
tenng acutely from asthma, and at
; Colorado Springs, Maude died. The
! mother said she buried her there.
The mother had cautioned her not to
mention the death, she said, because
it was none of the public's business.
:Also she didn't want Florence to know
j of the death because Florence would
: then return to the Tabor home and the
mother couldn't live with her, she told
i Mrs. Tabor.

'Maude. Is :-illl In the county jail at
