MARGRAVE; '(Copj nphl by tlie Nw York World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) BEUTHEN", Upper Silesia, by Tele phone via Berlin, May 12. (Special Cable.) The Polish insurgent leader. Adclbert Korfantyi lately the Polish plebiscite commissioner, . who . prob ably will be proclaimed "president of the Upper Silesian republic," received ne in a small house in the town of I'.alngow (Bankau?),' on the Polish Xrontier. "It would be dangerous for the in ter allied commission to send rein forcements to try to put down the Polish insurrection," said Korfanty. "The Polish miners, who revolted when they heard that they might again be compelled by' the supreme council to be under German domina tion, would rather die than submit. There are 300,000 of them and they Jiave suffered enough in the past under Prussian rule not to submit again. "By their uprising they have de fined the line where Upper Silesia must be divided, and they mean, to maintain it by force of arms. The peneral strike will be declared off, but 40,000 miners will remain under arms to see to it that the Prussian efficials left by the plebiscite com mission do not come back and that no cne dares to remove the red and white signs of Polish independence. The miners are in ro mood to be balked. Minors Mraa Business. "What part did you have in the up rising? I asked. "I was in Warsaw when the gen eral strike was declared," Korfanty replied, but being the Polish plebi ecite commissioner in Silesia, I re turned hurriedly. When I arrived at Beuthen I learned that the Polish government had removed me from office. ' "But did you not have any part in the revolt?" 1 inquired. "The revolt needed no instigation he answered. "The Polish miners had long decided that they would not be ruled again by Germany, and when the interacted commission sent their recommendation to Paris to draw line across Silesia, which placed the big Polish population under the Ger mans, the revolt was immediate and spontaneous. The insurrectionists control the water supply, electricity. fuel, food and mines. They do not need the towns, but they need us, and they will submit when they find that we cannot be put down." Motoring from Beuthen to Bain gow, I could see the truth of Kor fanty's statement The country was in arms; the workmen are provided with machine guns and even with ar tillery. They handle the guns clum sily, but like determined men, and they are under the leadership of ef ficient officers, half of whom were in the uniform of the army command ed by General Joseph Haller, commander-ichief.

Railway labor loaay rormauy admitted before the railroad labor board that it had failed in its efforts to prove the authentic ity of a letter alleged to have been written by a Pennsylvania railroad official ordering "defamation of labor organizations if necessary," in ob taining desired information and re quested permission to withdraw the letter from the board's records 1.

The hearing assumed unusual for mality when it was decided that all witnesses should be sworn. The first I knew of this letter. Mr. Geer said, "was' when the St. Louis office of the Associated Press told me it had been presented before the board on that day and asked if I cared to make any statement con cerning it. 1 promptly looked through ail tne orrice riles, but could find no trace of it. T. B. Farrington. master mechanic at Columbus, O., and William Stub bins, general foreman of the engine nouse and car department at Brad ford, v., testified they had no knowl edge of such a letter. The board adopted a resolution re questing the employes to present the evidence of the origin and authoritj of the letters. This Frank P.

The Confessions of a Diamond Dealer How One Salesmanager Boosted Sales 60 Sales had dropped off considerably during re cent months and espe cially since so many changes had occurred among the salesforce; and White, the Sales manager of this partic ular corporation whose name is familiar to deal ers all over the Pacific Coast, was fretting and figuring out the "whys" and "wherefores." He was among those present at the function given in Portland re cently by the Associated Industries to bid good bye to Mr. Clark and welcome Mr. Freeman, the new.Manager. Among; the speeches made at this dinner was one by a prominent local business man, in the course of which he stated that "the personal appearance of a salesman is one of the chief factors in determining; the total vol ume of his sales each month." It made an impression on White. He thought it over and over and finally came to the conclusion that his "force" didn't dress well enough. It was a delicate subject to handle, but he succeeded in adroitly con vincing his -salesmen that personal appearance is the first essential of a strong personality and, knowing of course that personality is the big factor in securing business, the men lost no time in acting favorably upon the matter. What was the result? The answer came back c 1 e a r 1 y unmistakably the f rst week, in an inT creased volume of sales, and it has kept on increasmg every week since. The reader may wonder why it happened that White's sales force was not dressed as well as they ought to be. Traveling salesmen are like any other class of men; namely, they find so many places for their money that they haven't always on hand the necessary amount required for a serviceable suit of new clothes. And when this point came up during White's conferences with them, White was prepared for it with his knowledge concern ing Joy's system of taking care of a man's clothes needs and letting him wear while he pays and at the same and in many cases less than cash prices charged by others. Joy has good reasons for this. He says, among other things: "I would rather have you pay by the month tharT to pay all cash down. It increases our business by natural processes in this way. When your name is on our books for regular week ly or monthly payments, it au tomatically retains you as our . regular customer; and when you need another suit or overcoat either before or after the pay ments on one are completed you naturally come here be cause you have become well ac quainted with our policies of YOUR SATISFACTION AHEAD OF ALL ELSE, and because you don't have to stop to consider whether you have the cash available. Many, in fact, who always have plenty of money in the bank appreciate - the fact that they can get the highest grade -of made-to-order tailoring here on payments and thus keep their money in the bank longer than they other wise could." If you, dear reader, will in vestigate, you will find that you have been overlooking the advantages that go to other men who realize and fall in with the custom that most of the world's business daily is done on credit. Joy is one of Portland's o I d, reliable tailors, and is located on Fourth near Stark street. Being One Day's Happenings in Friedlander's Three Hundred Thousand Dollar Sale of Jewelry 8:45 A. M.
