LONDOX. April . (By the Asso
ciated Press.) A day of great excite
ment which appeared to be leading; to
amicable negotiations on the wage
dispute In the coal crisis, closed with
ttill another hitch owing to insistence
by the government that resumption of
pumping operations at the mines
must be preliminary to any negotia
tions.
First meeting of the government
with the miners and mine owners had
been set for tomorrow and meanwhile
all questions of action by the railway
I men and transport workers, who with
the miners form the triple alliance,
had been temporarily suspended. Then
the premier announced that the
miners' federation bad informed him
that It was unable to see its way clear
to instruct pumpmen to resume work
auring the negotiations. He added
that the negotiations could not pro
ceed unless this obstacle was over'
come.
Frank Hodges, a leader of the
miners, said he did not regard the
question of negotiations as hopeless.
Another favorable indication is that
the premier has written to the miners'
executive committee here asking them
to meet him early tomorrow.
The general feeling was that the
trouble about pumping was not seri
ous enough to prove a permanent ob
struction. There is no cessation of
the precautionary measures taken by
the government, however, or by the
miners, transport workers and other
labor bodies.
Conferences are being retained in
suspended animation and preparations
are being continued locally for any
needful steps, should negotiations
rreak down. It is assumed that Lord
Derby's suggestion carried great
n eight with the government and
probably Induced the offer to nego
tiate. He wields enormous political
power In the conservative party.
It is believed, despite the govern
meat's firm attitude regarding a sub
sidy, that the line the negotations
may take will be the granting of a
temporary subsidy to tide the in
dustry over the period necessary to
regotiate an acceptable wage settle
rnent.
In the event of a breakdown in
negotiations it is understood that the
executive of the national co-operative
societies have agreed to extend credits
to the striking miners or other work
ers whose trade unions find their
funds heavily burdened by strike pay
ments.
Disorders which began yesterday In
the coal-mining town of Cowden
beath. Fifeshire. Scotland, became
more serious at mianignt and in a
series of melees with the police a
cumber of strikers were injured, says
a Central News dispatch from Dum
fermiine. The message says several
policemen were wounded
The rioters repeatedly broke through
the police cordon and cut electric
light wires, plunging the town into
darkness. Police reinforcements were
rushed to the scene.
LANARK. Scotland. April 6. Dis
orders were reported from many dis
tricts in Lanarkshire this morning, at
several miners the striking workmen
having interfered with pumping
operations. Several arrests are said
to have been made.

begins to fail we may use the water
power of the country as a source of
energy is, and must remain, a dream,
for if. today, all the potential water
power of the country were developed,
and every drop used, it would not
supply our present energy demands."
It was the conclusion of the speak
er that water power will supplement
but cannot, obviously, replace coal
and other fuels. He discussed various
nans of getting maximum results
from coal and recommended the use
of pulverized coal, fed into furnaces
under air pressure, saying it thus
forms a fuel excelled only by oil or
gas and much coal not otherwise of
fuel value could be consumed. ,
Coal to lut 13,000 yean. View.
The evil day to which Mr. Gault re-
xerrea. wnen coal win be no more,
was set 12,000 years in the future, so
far as the Pacific coast is concerned,
by George W. Owen. Seattle mining
engineer, who spoke at the morning
session. He declared the Pacific
slope nolds 64 billion tons of coal,
enough to supply the Pacific coast at
its present rate of use for the next
12.000 years.
Locomotive fuel coals were dis
cussed by A. W. Perley, expert of the
0.-W. R. & N. company. He said it
. was peculiarly fitting that the con
vention should be held in Portland,
where, he said, Simeon Reed gave an
Impetus to northwest mining hardly
ever equaled in the purchase of the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines in the
Coeur d Alenes for $600,000. Portland
could have been made a great mining
center, he said, and had the interest
been maintained, the Tacoma smelter
would have been located in Portland
instead.
Locomotive Mont tVaatcfoL
The locomotive, Mr. Perley said.
i the ' most wasteful of all power
plants, largely because of space limi
tations. He told of the special de
signing of the Mikado engines by
the late Master Mechanic Graham of
the O.-W. It. & N. company to utilize
Tono coal. He said he believed
this coal was the . best locomotive
coal in the country, provided loco
motive fire boxes were enlarged
for It.
The speaker asked for expert ad
vice on how to store coal success
fully. He said all the railroads have
different methods, and they all have
fires. He was in search of a way
.to store coal so that it would not
heat to the ignition point, but as yet
it remained to be discovered, he said.
-We pile coal at Umatilla." said
Mr. Perley, "and In cone-shaped piles
of rather small size I placed old
boiler tubes down the centers so
that thermometers could be lowered
Into the midst of the coal. Some of
ihe piles would show a temperature
of S3. or 79 and the next pile of ex
actly the same coal, piled in the same
way and everything, would be on
tire. I am looking for someone to
tell me why that happens. I have
read all I can find on It and have
heard them talk oxidisation, but still
the coal takes fire."
Potential mineral resources and
transportation advantages of the
Snake river canyon was' the topic
discussed by Robert N. Bell of Boise,
formerly Idaho state mine inspector.
He told bri!y of Utah Copper's
mountain of porphry at Bingham and
quoted figures to show the amazing
extent of that company s operations.
During IS years of development, he
sa d. Utah Copper had paid 1100,000.-
000 in dividends and has 300.000,000
tons of - ore as yet undeveloped.
Snake Development Forecast.
The speaker believed It entirely
probable that a similar ore body
would be developed in the Snake
River canyon. He told in some de
tail of two properties that promise
great futures. Besides he told of
hematite Iron ore bodies and other
potential wealth in this great can
yon.
. It 'is assured that the mining men
will adopt strong resolutions favor
ing a tariff on products of American
mines so that foreign competition
can be met. A resolutions committee
was named yesterday by Executive
Chairman Parks and the first meet
ing was held yesterday afternoon.
The committee' is as follows:
Washington Sidney Norman and
George Evans; Alaska Colonel B. F.
Millard; Idaho Ravenel Macbeth and
Stewart Campbell; British Columbia
S. S. Fowler and A. M. Whiteside;
California Frank B. Kelsey; Mon
tana, Archie MacDonald; Oregon
It. M. Betts and M. J. Anderson.
Last night a high jinks smoker was
enjoyed by the delegates in the green
room at the chamber of commerce.
Yesterday afternoon women of the
delegation were entertained at a tea
at the University club.

to
tional on an agreement being reached
as to the terms of the mandates and
further upon their acceptance by each
of the principal allied and associated council's minutes of May 7. 1919. which
had not so agreed and proposed, the
recital again recognizes the necessity
of the participation of the United
States to make the proposed disposi
tion effective.
Minutes Are Dae.
As, in thte absence of any treaty
with the United States relating to the
matter, there was no decision May 7,
1919, binding the United States, it Is
deemed to be unnecessary again to
examine the brief minutes of the
meeting of the supreme council on
that date. It may. however, be proper
to say that the minutes of this meet
ing, although obviously without any
finality, could not properly be con
strued without due regard to the
other proceedings- of the supreme
council and without taking account of
the reservations, which President
Wilson had made in the previous
meetings of the supreme council on
April 21. April 30 and May 1. 1919.
The attitude of President Wilson is
sufficiently shown by the following
statement he made to the department
of state March 3, 1921:
"I beg to return the note received
yesterday from the Japanese govern
ment, which I have read, in relation
to the proposed mandate covering the
island of Tap.
"My first information of a conten
tion that the so-called decision of
May 7. 1919, by the council of four
assigned to Japan a mandate for Tap.
was conveyed to me by Mr. Norman
Davis in October. I then informed
him I had never consented to the as
signment of Tap to Jaoan.
Reservations Oftem Made.

(Continued From First Page.)
or an after-theater engagement with
"the woman in black" or "the lady
in gray."
Still breathing, though a large
caliber bullet had plowed through
his brain, Elwell was discovered at
8:30 in the morning of June 11 clad
in his pajamas and slumped down
in a chair against the wall of the
reception room on the first floor of
his three-story house in West 70th
street. He died several hours later
without speaking a word which
might betray the identity of his
slayer.
He was found by Mrs. Marie Larsen,
Elwell's housekeeper, arriving for
her daily work of tidying up the
house. On a table at his side were
several letters, one of which, from
a racing associate, had been removed
from the envelope. The letters had
been delivered by the postman at 7:35.
There was no weapon, no footprint.
no evidence of a struggle, no possible
clew except a 45-caIlber shell, such as
is ejected from an automatic pistol of
the army type, and the stub of a cig
arette different from those Elwell
habitually smoked. Doors and win
dows were securely locked.
Experts declared that a suicide the
ory was untenable because Elwell
could not have held the 'fatal pistol
far enough from his head to avoid
powder burns, even were it possible
to account lor tne disappearance of
the weapon. There were powder
marks on the dying man's forehead,
but no burns. ' . . -..
As soon -as the idea of self-destruc
tion was rejected the man hunt
started. Its ramifications extended
all over the country, into every cir
cle of society and for years back into
the dead man s past. Every relative.
every friend, every casual acquaint
ance or servant, everyone who had
ever seen the dead turfman was found
and examined. Every possible mo
tive for his killing was explored.
ive aiiairs long ouried were ex
humed and the principals grilled to
discover a motive tor the crime.
Every real or suspected enmity was
probed. All led to the same end a
wealth of information about the dead
man s leisurely life, his reputation tor
suave good nature and his conquests
of women's hearts. But not a ray of
ugm on tne crime itself.
The known facts of how Elwell
spent the night before his death are
few. During the early evening he
was one or a dinner party at a large
hotel. Other guests were Mr. and
Mrs. Lewisohn, Miss Viola Kraus and
south American journalist, who
met Elwell tor the first time that
evening. At a near-by table sat Vic
tor- von Schlegel, the divorced hus
band of Miss Kraus, and Miss Elly
Hope Anderson, a singer, whose home
in Minneapolis.
All who were present agreed after
ward that there was no show of ill
feeling between Elwell and Von
Schlegel, though they brushed shoul
dere on the dance floor several times
with Von Schlegel's former wife
dancing with the sportsman.
After leaving the hotel the Lewis
ton party, including Elwell, went to a
roor garden theater, wbere they re
mained until 1:30, when all left, and
Elwell was seen to start on foot to
ward his home. Here ended all un
assailable evidence of the murder vic
tim's movements. A man told in
vestigators he had seen Elwell and a
woman in an upper Broadway dance
hall at a much later hour. A neigh
bor claimed to have seen Elwell
driven home by a man in a racing
car at 2:30. A taxlcab driver asserted
he had driven the sportsman home
directly after he left the Lewisohn
party. ' 1
More important evidence seemed to
lie In the statements of Margaret
Entlor, a telephone operator, who de
clared she tried to put through two
telephone calls from Elwell's home
between 2 and 2:30 o'clock on the
morning of the tragedy. The num
ber called In each case was that of
William H. Pendleton, a former rac
ing partner of Elwell's. When In
terrogated, he said he could not
Imagine why Elwell should have been
so anxious to communicate with him
during the early morning hours. They
had not been intimate in many
months, be said.
After two weeks of investigation
and merciless publicity the small
army of investigators became defi
nitely separataed into two factions.
Both prefaced their theories with the
statement, "nothing is impossible,"
and each clung doggedly to its pet
"solution."
The first faction. Including a ma
jority of the detectives, said, "What
if the doors were locked? Some en
emy, man or woman, killed Elwell."
The second, numbering many of El
well's former friends and some of the
cleverest detectives, retorted, "What
if there were no powder burns? El
well killed himself and someone who
arrived before the police hid the
pistol."
After the funeral Joseph S. Elwell,
father of the dead man, declared his
unfaltering belief that his son had
been murdered.

Declaring that the United States
"has never vested either the supreme
council or the league of nations with
authority to bind the United States or
to act In its behalf," the. secretary
says, "this government must insist
that it has not lost its right or interest
as it existed prior to any action of
the supreme council or the league of
nations and cannot recognize alloca
tion of the island or the validity of
the mandate to Japan.
Am rr lean Part Cited.
The text of the note to Great Brit
ain, similar to that to France and
Italy, follows:
With respect to the mandate to 3a.-
pan. purporting to have been con
firmed and defined in its terms by the
supreme council of the league of na
tions, oi tne German possessions
the Pacific ocean, lying north of the
equator, this government deems it ap
propriate to state the fundamental
basis of its representations and the
principles wnicn, in its view, are ue
terminatlve.
It will not be questioned that the
right to dispose of the overseas pos
sessions of Germany was acquired
only through the victory of the allied
and associated powers, and it Is also
believed there is no disposition on
the Dart of the British government to
deny participation of the United
States in that victory. It would seem
to follow that the right accruing to
the allied and associated powers
through the common victory is enarea
by the United States and there could
be no valid or effective disposition of
the overseas Dossessions of Germany,
now under consideration, without as
sent of the United States.
Powers Never Given.
This government must, therefore,
point out that as the United States
ha. never vested either the supreme
council or the league of nations with
authority to bind the United States
or to act on Its behalf, there has been
no opportunity for any decision which
could be deemed to affect rights of
the United States. It may De ODservea

prior to the date mentioned, made
specific reservations regarding' Tap

assumed this position would be duly

It therefore was no longer a matter

abandoned or modified this position
in respect to Trd. and T did nnt. ne-ree
May 7. 1919, or at any other time,
that Tap should be included in the
assignment of mandates to Japan.
As a matter of fact, all agreements
arrived at regarding assignment of
mandates were conditional on a sub
sequent agreement being reached by
each of the principal allied and as
sociated powers. The consent o'f the
United States is essential both as to
assignments of mandates and the
terms and provisions of the mandates,
after agreement as to their assign
ment or allocation.
Consent Never Given. .
The consent of th TTnitei" States
has never been riven on either nnint

Apart from the expressed purpose
of President Wilson in relation to
Tap, inasmuch as the proceedings of

thus recognizing the right and inter

that the proposed action could not be
effective without the agreement of
the United States as one of the prin

Authority Is Denied.
As the United States did not enter
Into this convention or Into any
treaty relating to the subject, this
government is unable to understand
on what grounds it was thereafter at
tpmnten to confer the mandate with'
out the agreement ot the United
Ktnten
It is manifest that the league of
nations was without authority to
bind the United States, and that the
confirmation of the mandate in ques
tion and the definition of its terms
hv the council of the league Of na
tions in December, 1920. cannot be
regarded as having efficacy with re
spect to the United States.
It should he noted that this man
date not only recited article 11 '
many renounced in favor of the prin
cipal allied and associated powers
all her rights over her overseas jos
sessions. Including the groups of Is
lands in the Pacific ocean lying north

the league of nations) of the said
treaty, a mandate should be conferred
on his majesty the emperor of Japan
to administer the said islands and
have proposed that the mandate
should be formulated" as set forth.

Workers Break Agreement.
Eight hundred workers were con
cealed in the' waiting room of the
railway station and on the arrival of
the train smashed the doors and win
dows and attempted to enter the
train, climbing on the roofs of the
cars and shouting, "Bring him out!"
"Drag him out!" "He must hear us!"
The workmen broke an agreement
to facilitate the ei-rulers' passage
through Bruck. Instead of merely 250
workers remaining on the station
platform, as had been agreed, 800 re
mained in concealment in the waiting
room. One of the entente officers ac
compainying Charles appeared and
addressed the crowd to show it what
