Epistle Indited to Central Power Following San .Remo Confer ence Delights Paris Papers. (Copyrleht by the New fork World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) PARIS, May 2. (Special Cable.) The greatest satisfaction is expressed by the French press with the results of the San Remo conference. The final rally of Great. Britain to the French viewpoint is considered here to mean a victory for Premier Mil lerand's and the French delegates' policy In regard to Germany. The slight reservations made by Premier Nltti are overlooked and only the bare fact of allied unity is commented upon. The forceful expression of the note to Germany is also a source of pleas ure to the French editorialists who point out that Germany now has the opportunity so long asked for to show whether she really means to carry out the treaty engagements and whether the allies will be justified hereafter in helping the Germans eco nomically. Incompleteness la Regretted. There is slight regret that no com plete arrangement was made at San Remo concerning the German indem nity, which this country so badly needs, although pending the Spa and Brussels conferences, no comment is made on the subject. The outstand ing point in the note, according to French journalists, is -the complete accord among the allies to take fur ther roprrivi! measures against Ger many should occasion arise. But Parisian newspapers say mat now 10 the time for the allies to act and make .the note binding. "'Until now we have lost too much time," says Le Figaro. "Now that we have the formal promises of England and the other allies to support us, and because we were the first inter ested, we have the right and duty to turn into a concrete form the note ad dressed to Germany." : France Is "Justified." Le Goulois remarks that the note constitutes a justification of France"s attitude toward Germany in the fae of continual violations of the treaty. Attacks on the British premier, which have been numerous before and dur ing the San Remo conference, have suddenly ceased, and today the French press pays a tribute to the English statesman. "San Remo," says the Paris Midi, "has shown to Lloyd George that France had no annexationist policy for the Rhineland and that Premier Millerand is not guided by party poll tics or personal selfishness." This newspaper further remarks it is quite willing to forgive and forget the dif ference of opinion between Premier Lloyd George and Premier Millerand. Le Matin, which publishes a two column portrait of Premier Millerand says "April 26 will remain a memor able date if acts tally with words. and we have no reason to doubt otherwise. Premier Millerand will have shown to M. Clemenceau that the only way of collaborating with England is to act firmly and discuss loyally and not give in so easily." "Patience Has I.lmttn." Saint-Brice in Le Journal can find only good qualities in the note. "Ber lin," he says, "will learn that allied patience, so imprudently exploited by the German government, has limits. Germany will now have the chance of showing how she can amend. Other passages of the note will have the effect of showing the strength of the allied bloc, which should reveal itself not only in words, but in acts." Pertinax, who, in writing from San Remo to his journal, L'Echo de Paris, had shown himself the bitterest critic of Premier Lloyd George, today in dulges in taking a rap at Premier Nitti, eulogizing Lloyd George for his sudden change of opinion. "The most Important part of the note is that which deals with the military meas ures to be applied to Germany in case she should further violate the treaty stipulations," says Pertinax. He adds: "Marshal Foch and General Wilson have already drawn up all the necessary plans for further occupa tion of the Rhineland territory." He again points out the urgent need of framing up an indemnity which Ger many must pay, and says the work of the supreme council cannot be ter minated until this is done. Further more, he calls upon the French gov ernment to maintain its vigilant watch on Germany and to take measures at the slightest infraction of a treaty clause. E $4,000,000 TOXS OF COAL YET REMAIN IX WORK1XGS. Company in Closing Statement Says ETery Ton Produced Cost More Than Sale Price. SEATTLE, Wash., May 2. (Spe cial.) Work will bigdn tomorrow on the removal of the equipment and pumps of the Renton coat mines. The workings are to be permanently abandoned and flooded, as the re sult of an order issued by Manager W. J. Grambs of the operating com pany. These mines have been the principal source of supply for the steam power and heat plants of the Puget Sound Power and Light com pany. They wore acquired more than 20 years ago by the Seattle Electric company and have been held through the various corporate changes of that organization to the present time. There is syll coal in these mea sures sufficient to provide a lease of life of another 30 years, as the con tents of the coal measures is esti mated at 4,000,000 tons. A number of leases which have 18 years to run have also been can celed by the lessees. The reasons given by the company ments that left no other alternative. Briefly they state that with an out put of 115,000 tons in 1919 there was a total loss of $126,000, or that every ton mined cost $1.09 a ton more than the company received for the- prod uct. The actual cost of the coal at the surface exceeded $6.60 a ton, says the company. Labor at the mines received a frac tion more than 92 per-cent of all the gross revenuei, leaving Ices than 8 per cent of the total receipts for all other costs, such as timber ing, supplies, power, maintenance, taxes and interest, says the com pany. . WOMAN FAINTER RESIGNS FIXE ASSESSED FOR WORKING HOAX OX PUBLIC. Motor Trucks Requisitioned to Help Break Move to Xational ize Transportation Systems. PARIS, May 2. (By the Associated Press.) The strike of the railroad men for nationalization of the rail ways, which is-to be joined tomorrow by the miners and dockmen, has re sulted thus far in hindering traffic only on four of the five big systems the Eastern, Northern, Orleans and the Paris-Lyons-Mediterranean. Tem porarily, however, the state line which runs to Havre is tied up. Strike Failure, Says Minister. -'"The strike is a complete failure," said Yves LeTrocquer, the minister of public -works, today. Service on all lines was curtailed today. The Parisian forces were ope rating about 50 per cent, except the Lazarre state system, which canceled all trains from the capital. The government's determination to fight . the strike for nationalization has been voiced by M. LeTroquer and Premier Millerand. M. Millerand said the government was prepared to do its duty in the maintenance 'of order and to protect the men who remain at work; Government to Figrht. In carrying out- its poficy to break the strike the government again has issued a decree to requisition motor trucks and other transportation equipment in certain regions.' Technical students and volunteers organized by the government during the strike last February are replacing many railroad men who quit work. FREXCH STRIKE IS UPHELD Labor Federation Pleased; Serious Clash Reported.. PARIS, May 2. The labor federa tion of France last night issued a statement that it was pleased with the solidarity of the movement of the railway workers" and that the administrative committee had de cided to support the strike further by, calling a general strike beginning Monday of all miners, sailors and dock workers. Another serious clash took place last night between rioters and the police. Several persons were wounded and many arrested. Mrs. Minnie Kay Paid $48 Weekly to Carry Sign on Back and '' Swoon at Opportune Places' ' PITTSBURG, Pa., May 2. (Special. After being fined 85 in central.'.po- nce court today. Mrs. Minnie Kay an nounced her retirement as a profes sional fainter. She told Magistrate Sweeney that though going about witn a sign attached to her back had proved a good advertising stunt for various employers, she had greatly increased her effectiveness bv intro ducing a realistic swoon. She was paid $48 a week and had been fol lowing this vocation, for years. Of late she had been in the service or a leading motion picture house. carefully distributing har ' faints in widely separated parts of the' city. Last night she was working among the downtown Saturday throngs. A die crowa gathered and aDDreciative ly perused the sign on her back when she did an artistic faint near Mar. ket street. Big-hearted Policeman Frank Altman helped to revive her. An hour later Mrs. Kay fainted at Sraithfield and Diamond streets. Alt- man again chanced to be among those present. He eyed her icily and march- ea ner to central station. Waiter's Hearing Set. Frank Murphy, waiter, who was arrested at feecond and Everett streets Saturday by Inspector Morak after he is said to have stolen a suit of clothes from the room of John Bues ing- in the Hood hotel, will appear for hearing in the municipal court todar on a charge of larceny. Murphy ' was picKea up wnen he was seen to have a suspicious looking package under his arm. When the inspector ac costed him he started running down the street and was only overtaken alter about a block and a half chase. POINDEXTER IS ON LIST (Continued From First Page.)

Adv States shall attain recognition on the nominating ballot, but nothing is said as to how a candidate shall proceed to withdraw, or the extent of au thority vested in the secretary of state in considering such request for with drawal. Withdrawal Clanae Viewed. As far as the secretary of state has been able to determine there is only one section of the Oregon election laws which provides for withdrawal of candidates. This act relates spe cifically to candidates who file by fee. and is devoid of any mention of can didates for president or vice-president of the united States. This sectiou of the law reads: "Upon the proper filing of notice of candidacy, accompanied by the re quired fee, said candidacy shall be deemed complete, and, unless the can didate shall withdraw and state his or her reasons for withdrawal under j oath and file the same with the prop- I er official, the secretary of state, j as the case may be, shall cause the name of the said candidate to be printed upon the official ballot at the ensuing primary election and no additional signatures or fees shall be required to make said candidacy com plete and effective." Because the above section of the election laws relates only to candi dates who filed by fee, there is doubt here as to whether the statute would cover the withdrawal of a candidate who filed for president or vice-president by personal request. Mandamus Action Cited. Had Mr. Poindexter filed by peti tion his withdrawal would have been impossible, according to the secretary of state. This was definitely settled in the mandamus action brought by Albert Abraham of Roseburg in the year 1916, to compel Ben Olcott, then acting as secretary of state, to place the name of Charles Evans Hughes on the nominating ballot at the re publican primary election.
