Executives.
(By Associated Press.)
CHICAGO. Feb. 3. The controversy
between American rnilrbads and their
employes over abrogation of the na.
tional agreements on working condi
tions was In abeyance tonight with
the adjournment until Monday of the
hearing before the United States rail
way labor board. Today's session
brought to a close the most heated
week of the hearing, a week filled with
charges and counter-charges, direct
appeal by both employes and carriers
to President Wilson and a statement
to the board from the railroad execu
tives that, unless relief in the way of
reduced 'operating expenses were
granted at once the nation's transpor
tation system would 1e thrown into
chaos and possible bankruptcy.
The session today Wwa expected to
hear the union's reply to the request
of W. W, Atterbury, vice-president .of
he Pennsylvania railway, who ap
peared before the 'board, on Monday in
behalf of the American Association of
Railway Executives, urging Immedi
ate abrogation of the national agree
ments. .The labor board chamber was
filled with spectators to hear the em:
pUoyes' reply to the Atterbury request,
but labor representatives failed to ap
pear at the last minute and upon
their request the board granted them
until Monday to present their side.
No decision of General Atterbury's
request for Immediate abrogation of
the agreements will be rendered by
the board until after the employes
make their reply next Monday. A
speedy ruling on the matter is ex
pected following the employes' ap
pearance, however.

PALM BEACH, Feb. 3 The house
boat Victoria, carrying President
elect Harding on his vacation cruise
up the Florida coast, got into serious
difficulties again today, and fell so
far behind her schedule that her dis
tinguished passengers may leave her
tomorrow or Saturday and complete
their trip to St. Augustine by rail.
After spending several hours fast
in a mud bank in the Indian river
channel, the Victoria anchored tonight
about ten miles below Palm Beach. In
two days she has covered only about
60 miles and she still is 260 miles
from St. Augustine, where Mr. Hard

Should further trouble develop, it is
regarded as certain that the party will

Senior Florida Senator Opposed
to Emergency Tariff
Legislation.
VOTE IS EXPECTED SOON
Effort Will Be Made to Secure
Decision on Bill By Feb
ruary 15.
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. Although de
bate on the Fordney emergency tariff
bill dragged aimlessly on the senate
floor today, real progress was made
towards definite action on the measure.
Senator McCumber. republican, North
Dakota, obtained agreement to take up
the bill with its amendments for a see
on dreading and, outside of the cham
ber, leaders of both sides reached a
tentative understanding to fix a date for
a final vote.
The tentative program probably will
be submitted to the senate tomorrpw and
unanimous consent asked for an agree
ment to vote on the bill IJeb. 15, or
soon after. Senators tonight believed
the path was clear for acceptance of the
plan
Much Political Maneuvering.
Suggestions and counter-suggestions
from each side came frequently during
the day. All were based on political
maneuvering and the leaders conferred
about them in and out of the chambers,
while Senators Capper, republican, Kan
sas; Fletcher, democrat, Florida; Mc
Keller, democrat, Tennessee; and Robin
son, democrat. Arkansas, occupied the
attention of the few senators present
with speeches.
Senator Fletcher accused the republi
cans of using the tariff bill to make
protectionists out of all of the farmers
and "sew. up their votes on every pro-'
tectlve tariff matter in the future." He
said big business, especially the manu
facturing establishments, were desirous
of high import rates and added that by
giving the farmers a prohibitory rate on
their products, strength would be mus
tered for later revision of the Under
wood act, now under consideration by
the house ways and means committee.
The senate will meet an hour earlier
tomorrow, recessing tonight until 11
o'clock.

Former Brigadier General Tells
Congress How it Might
Be. Useful.
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. Another
broadside was let loose by Charles G.
Dawes today against the congressional
methods of investigating the conduct of
the war.
Attacking what he characterized as a
partisan attempt to blacken the name
of the whole American army because of
the blunders of a few, the former briga
dier general in charge of supplies pro
curement in France, declared house com
mittees could serve a more useful pub
lic service by turning the searchlight
upon the waste of millions of govern
ment dollars right under their nose.
A group of women in the crowded
committee room failed to prevent Mr.
Dawes from swearing like a "buck" pri
vate. He strode around the committee
room, hitting harder than he was hit,
and swearing madly every time he con
strued the questioning as a reflection on
any part or parcel of the fighting outfit
of which he was a part. Chairman John
son, himself a former service man at
the front, told Mr. Dawes at theend of
the hearing he wished there had been
other witnesses as truthful and jas un
afraid to speak out in meetings.
Mr. Dawes made no attempt to con
ceal the feeling that he .was having a
very good time. At times the room was
in an upraor of merriment, and the
echo of oaths swept down the',, long
corridor of jtfoe.. big building as he..tiimed
his wrathful language upon critics of the
war who stayed at home.
Referring to numerous investigations
by the house. Mr. J Dawes said he
thought the people were sick of them.
"Why, there is no longer any news in
It," he shouted. "If I wasn't here strut
ting around and swearing, there would
be no news in this. Don't forget that
it was an American war, not a repub
lican or a democratic war and the recj
ord of the glorious work of our army
will . live hundreds of years after your
committee is dead and gone and for
gotten." When the name of Oeneral Pershing
was brought into the discussion, Mr.
Dawes could scarcely control his anger.
"There were hounds in this country,"
he declared, "who tried to spread the
false news that Pershing was at a the
atre the niht of the armistice. He was
there like hell. He was at his office,
starting the work of cancelling vast
war contracts to save money. It will
take 25 or 50 years for Pershing to get
his place in history, but let me tell you,
the time will come when every dough
boy overseas will be proud to say he
was one of ' Pershing's men."

NEW YORK, Feb. 2. Evidence in
volving 38 customs inspectors at the

port, admitted tonight that recom
mendations had been sent to "Wash
ington for dismissal ,of eight of the
inspectors. Otherwise, he said, no
changes had taken place in the staff.
He said the investigation, which had
been in progress but(a short time, re.
vealed a deplorable condition on the
piers.
The inspectors, Mr. Newton de
clared, have been receiving gratuities
or bribes ranging from $1 to $300
from passengers who wished their
baggage passed uninspected. The
collector would? not estimate how
much money the government had lost
through failure to collect customs, but
said probably it was many thousands
of dollars. r

Searcy Tells Jury Lancaster's
Squad Was Relieved from
Duty at Midnight.
(By Associated Press)
HAMILTON, Ala,, Feb. 3. 'That
the defense in the case of Sergt. Rob
ert Lancaster of Company M, Ala
bama national guard, on trial for al
leged participation in the lynching of
William Balrd, coal miner, at Jas
per on Jan. 13, Will seek to prove an
alibi for the accused soldier was indi
cated this afternoon when Ben G.
Searcy, member of Company M, was
placed on the stand and testified that
Lancaster was asleep on his cot in
the company's barracks at Townley
at the hour Baird was taken from
jail and shot to death by a masked
mob.
Searcy was the first' witness for the
defense, and declared "that he was on
guard at the barracks on the morn
ing of the lynching and that he saw
the defendant ' asleep on his cot at
1 a. m., and again at' 2:30 a. m., and
that Lancaster's cot was next to a
fireplace where the witness kindled a
fire at 2:30 a. m.
He testified that he saw no automo
bile depart from or arrive at the camp
from the time he went on guard duty
at midnight until 4 a, m. Lancaster,
he said, was' among the sentries re
lieved at night on Jan. 12 by him and
his squad.
According to state witnesses, Baird
was lynched at 2 a. m. on the morn
ing of Jan. 13. The state closed its
testimony this morning. '
In the cross-examination of Captain'
Charles R. Fleming, who was the first
witness for the state on the fourth
day of the trial, the defense sought to
obtain admissions that there had been
violence in the Walker county coal
mine district prior to the lynching of
Baird, but the questions were ruled
out by the court.
Leslie West was recalled to the
stand and identified as his own over
coat the one which Captain H. L. Mc
Means testified the day before had
been recovered from between the walls
of the barracks where the defendant
was stationed.
The defense is preparing to offer
the testimony of various witnesses
from Tuscaloosa county In impeach
ment of the testimony of soldiers who
have appeared for the state and will
also offer evidence to show that Ser
geant Lancaster bore an excellent
reputation in his home city.
Indications are that the case will
not reach the jury until Saturday
night.

(By 'Associated Press)
"WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. Estimated
profits of 21 mining companies operat
ing in the Pocahontas coal fields of
West Virginia, some of which were
as high as 200 per cent on investment
during 1920, were placed today before
the senate committee considering the
Calder coal regulation bill.
The corporations named were not
made public after an animated de
bate, during which J. D. A. Morrow,
vice-president of the National Coal
association, said this would violate an
"understanding" reached with snate
investigators who procured the ac
counts. Chairman Calder of the in
vestigating committee which drafted
the bill denied that any such"""under-
standing" had existed.
Senator LaFollette, as chairman of
the committee considering the- bill,
finally, ruled that the companies
would be allowed to maintain secrecy
as to costs and profits for business
reasons, and David L. W5ng, federal
trade commission statistician, was in
structed to use numbers to designate
the corporations as the reports were
analyzed.
One corporation in his list, on a to
tal investment of $178,000, mined 122,-
000 tons of coal in the first nine
months of 1920 on which its profit
was 5478,000.
Another corporation, with an In
vestment of $163,000, made $133,000 in
nine months of 1920, or a profit rate
of 109 per cent on capital. A third,
with $1,428,000 invested, made $716,000
during the same period, a rate of 67
per cent, while Its profits In 1919 were
estimated at 30 per -cent. Its produc
tion was 470,000 tons. ,
The lowest profit among the 21 cor
porations, Mr. Wing said, was ast the
rate of 33 per cent for 1920 although
several had experienced losses in 1919.
One of the losing corporations which
ran behind $80,000 on a capital of
$380,000 during 1919 operations,; ac
cording to the estimates, cleared
$394,000 in nine months of 1920, or a
rate of 139 per cent for the year.
Other figures, which had not been
taken . up when the committee ad

Senorita Anna de Fonseca Will
Come to Apalachicola to
Make Her Home.
IS KIN TO II. L. FLOWERS
Fathers Fortune is in British
and American Banks in
Trust for Girl.
(By Staff Correspondent.) '
APALACHICOLA. Feb. 3. A young
Spanish heiress is on the high seas on
her way to Apalachicola, where ehe
comes to make her home with H. L.
Flowers, a leading merchant.
The girl's father, who was of the re
publican party of Spain, died in prison
in his native country from wounds re
ceived In an affray with the Spanish po
lice. The girl is making the trip across
the ocean In company with a priest,
Father Amadeo Roldan, of Spain
The girl was bequeathed to Mr. Flow
ers by her father, who had anticipated
his death. She brings a small fortune
with her, but the family jewels and oth
er valuables are supposed, to have been
confiscated by the Spanish police.
The story of the girl and circumstances
of her coming to Mr! Flowers as her
guardian reads like a romance of olden
times in royal Spain. This Is how
Senorita Anna de Fonseca comes to Apa
lachicola from a far Spain te make her
home with tc'tal strangers in a - new
land: .
About a month ago Mr. Flowers found
a -foreign letter in his business mail. It
was addressed correctly except that the
initials. were reversed. He opened the
letter and reading It. found it was from .
l one Fjirique de Fonseca in Madrid, who.
went on to say that he was a member
of the hated republican party in Spain,
that he had, been camandante de admin
lstracion militare, but through the ma
chinations of his enemies his party had
been overthrown and foul accusations
brought against him. .Seeing his dire
peril, he had decided to leave Spain.
That was the reason why he had trans
ferred his personal fortune to English
banks; and now he intended to slip
out of Spain and come to America.
Once In America he would hunt up
his distant relative in Florida. IJe wrote
all this mow because if his enemies
caught him before he escaped he would
be obliged to send his only daughter
and heiress to Mr. Flowers, since there
wae no safety for either her or her for
tune anywhere in Spain.
The contents of the letter rather fazed
Mr. Flowers, who is a practical whole
sale and retail furniture merchant. H
thought It might be. a hoax. He. had
been told that there was Spanish blood
somewhere back in his family; but be
ing just a business man, he did not
know "a darn thing" about his ances
tors. So he paid no attention to the
first letter. But last Saturday Mr. Flow
ers received a second letter. This came
from a priest In Madrid. It was dated
January 11, 1921. It was written by
Father Amadeo P.oldin, and It announced
the arrest in Madrid of Senor de Fon
seca, after a severe fight with the po
lice. In which fight De Fonseca was so
badly wounded that later on in prison
he died of his wounds. His arrest came
on the eve of his departure with his
daughter Anna, for America. This let
ter of the priest also contained a sealed
letter from the dead man, which was.
trusted to his confessor at their last
meeting and it held De Fonseca's dying
instructions to Mr. Flowers,
Scnor De Fonseca's letter was confi
dential. It told Mr. Flowers such in
timate things as the future guardian of
his daughter must know. It save her
guardian personal instructions how to
recover her father's fortune, which is
now lying in certain English and Amer
ican bank and which amounts to over
$200,000. That Is minus the personal
baggage. This the prisoner seemed to
think wfll be pretty well devoured bv
the Spbalsh police.
This1 letter from the dying man reads
like an excerpt from Zola. Here Is a
transcript : "My wounds are every dav
worse, ap.d I feel that my life flies; but
after a)i I have said to you (and being
sure that you will follow my wishes) I
remain with some little comfort in my
heart enough to let me die in peace with
confidence to'rd my daughter's future."
Mr. Flowers has accepted the charee.
He has cabled the priest t "come." And
he says: "Whether I can trace the kin
ship or not I can care for the little
girl."
