Negotiations toward settling the strike of Brit ish miners were today believed to be assured. Government officials and labor leaders who outlined their positions before the -opening session of parliament have shown their desire to reach an under standing. Belief was general to day that proposals were in prepa ration by both sides. Premier Lloyd-George haa def initely declared he is ready to en ter into negotiations. He has how ever, stated plans for a tentative wage increase pending a complete adjustment, would not be satis factory as that method of meet ing the present situation would threaten trouble. Coal production he holds, must be augmented and he may submit some proposals which will deal with this phase of the situation. Newspapers comment raprflleci atively on the calm and dignified tone in the house of commons and the absence of provocative words. This fact is regarded as a good omen, journals maintaining that although the deadlock still exists, the debate has cleared the stage for a compromise. fcrerybidv knows where I stand I this question.

His statement that he favored presentation of the Irish question to the league of nations was cheered and when he declared for "slf-de-te'rminatlon," a man asked: "Does that apply to Ulster?" "Ulster is a part of Ireland," was the governor's quick response. Attacking Senatoo Harding's po sition upon the Irish question, Gov ernor Cox added: "During the last two weeks re publican speakers have been urged not to mention- his name.- Charges that Senator Harding htd taken numerous positons upon the league were reiterated by Gov ernor Cox. "Would you accept the Lodge reservations?" was another ques tion. "They were never seriously sug gested," the candidate replied.

Confirmation of rumors of the death of King Alex ander of Greece had not been re ceived at the Greek legation here today. The Midi printed under a Rome date line a dispatch saying the Greek steamer Artemites, anchored at Brindisi, had received from Athens a wire dispatch announcing the death of the king, adding the Greek government was awaiting a reply from Prince Paul, brother of the king, who is reported to have been offered the throne, before pub lishing the news. Seven Dead and 1 7 Injured In Wreck of Express Train Oregon Growers Re-open Pool For Ten Days Asserting that some local buyers have undermined the prune market by carrying on a policy of cutting all prices named by the Oregon Growers Co-operative association a special bulletin issued Wednesday by the association announces that it will reopen its pool until November 1. The bulletin states that arrange ments have been made with Port land banks to aid all growers who enter the pool by making advances of from five to two cents per pound on the various grades. Growers will be allowed to draw two cents per pound on prunes in the sack before grading and the balance of the ad vance paid when grading is com pleted.

New Light On Denton Case Helps with the progressive tongues and all the literary idealism of our op ponents, it is still the republican party; not only as to tariff pro tection but as to every ether kind of protection whfch stands as the scieguaru 01 America, it is a sim ple matter to make phrases; it is much more difficult to perform. and most against the league, the governor declared the republican leader was "the most despised man in Amri ca" and loud hisses from the audi ence folowed mention of the sena tor's name.

Ap- provul of a proposal to organ ise a $100,000,000 corporation to finance the nation's foreign trade was given- today by the American Bankers association, in convention here. Washington, Oct. 20. Govern ment expenditures of four billion dolars during the next fiscal year were forecast by Secretary Houston of the treasury department today before the convention of the Amer ican Bankers asociation. in which he covered a wide range of finan cial and economic problems of the nation. The secretary outlined the treas ury's program for handling the war debt and appealed for The strictest economy not only in our expendi tures, federal, state, county and municipal, but also by thrift on tha part of our people," adding that the program necessitated the mainten ance of taxation "after this fiscal year on a level of not less" than $4,000,000,000 annually. He said there were indications of falling re ceipts. . . Railroads Take Much. The treasury's program had been disarranged, the secretary said, By the heavy burdens imposed by the transportation act. He estimated the total amount which the govern ment will pay the roads at $1,000, 000,000 about one.fourth of which already has been turned over to them. The remainder will be paid, the secretary thought, by early spring. Mr. Houston predicted rapid re duction in the gross national debt through the coming year, pni insu larly the $2,350,000,000 short term certifcates outstanding. The treas ury program, he added, would re sult In reducing this below $2,000,-' 000,000 and perhaps to $1,500,000, 000.

Dis covery today that a large quantity of soap and disinfectant was deliv ered ln June at the home of Jacob Charles Denton, was declared to have an Important bearing ln the investigation of the death of Den ton. The district attorney's office has fixed the time of Denton's death as June 2. A grocer informed investigators that he delivered six bars of soan and a nanknorp nf w.mh Demo-; ing powder on that date. Two days later he said he delivered four cans of chloride of lime, three of which were returned. On June 10 he de lievered fourteen bars of soap. All of these articles, the grocer said, were ordered by a woman and the truth is, he said, "that charged to an acocunt Denton had East and West Bound Trains of New York Central Collide in Yards at Erie, Pa; Opes Switch Believed Cause; Fear Expressed dud Many of Injured May Die f at his store.

Speaks at Barbecue The republican nominee at a political barbecue, gave particular attention to the iron and steel in dustry as it has developed in Ohio. "As an illustration of the com mon interest which binds those en gaged in that industry in a public policy, I wish to cite the truth that the growth and opportunity for in vest of captial and the labor of men in the iron and steel industry has rested upon a political policy. You know that it is a fact that the re publican policy of tariff protection, given to our home industries, has been thes afeguard and stimulus of our American iron and steel produc tion.

"Sympathetic as I may be with our brothers ln foreign nations, we stand for a proper policy of Ameri can protection, flexible, subject to readjustments, fair to our consum ers and yet protecting American in vestments and the interests and standard of living of those Ameri can laborers who do their part" by giving us one hundred per cent ef flecency in their productive effort." tier the linoleum in the kitchen was a clue which played a part in this theory, it was said.

Defines "Bull" Before Court Chicago, Oct. 220The recent sessions of the Senatorial "Sus an' Fund committee here which had to do with the charges and counter-charges of large Presi dential campaign funds, besides developing many interesting facts about campaign funds turned up a definition of the well-known "bull." Fred W. Upham, republican National committee treasurer, hcaracterized some statements in the republican official bul letin as "bull." His assistant. Harry M. Blair, "financial wiz ard" of the republican cam paign fund - raising activities, used the same term while testi fying regarding thet ruth of a democratic charge. "Then you mean to say this statement is a lie," demanded Senator Reed. 'No, just bull," said Blair. "What is the difference be tween "bull' and a lie?" Reed asked. "Bull is expanded truth," answered Blair without hesita tion, while everybody in Judge Page's courtroom laughed heart iiy. "I'm glad to get an official definition of the troublesome word," Senator Reed said. Bismarck, N. D., Oct. . 20. The name of Eugene V.
