EXPENSE-
OF RECALL MAY
HALIJpiON
Taxpayers Object to to Paying
$3000 to Settle Political
Fuss Recall Would Cost
More Than Sheriff's Salary
for Year.
No recall petitions for Sheriff Ter
rlll were filed with the county clerk
today, and no reason was forthcom
ing why this long threatened action
had not come to pass. In spite of
the report that 1C00 names were se
cured the first day, the petitions are
still being circulated.
County Clerk Florey said this
morning that the, co3t of a recall
election would bo over $3,000, at the
lowest estimate, a regular election
costing $5,000, and that the salary
of the sheriff for one year is approx
imately $2,400. Many taxpayers and
property holders are strenuously op
posed to the expenditure of county
money in excess of the sheriff's al
ary, to settle a political fUBS, and
throw the county Into turmoil for a
month.
The opponents of the recall also
argue that if the sheriff has been
derelict or guilty rf wrongdoing, the
courts are still functioning? and the
proper procedure Is to take the issue
there and settle it there, instead of
through the medium of gossip and
rumor, and systematic scandalmong-
ering. Many desire to see so called
evidence substantiated and afo more
or less dubious about the sources of
some of the wild charges, which have
been scattered incessantly for over
o year.
It has also developed that there Is
a well defined split between the re
call forces, one side maintaining that
the recall is an "uplift movement,'
and the other that certain organiza
tions have been made the tools of de
signing politicians and talkative of-
ficeaeekers. The latter contenders
point to the anxiety over who will be
chief deputy sheriff, if the recall
carries, as a clincher for their view
point. There still persists considerable
talk about a recall for other county
officials, the rural districts are not
enthused over the administration of
county affairs In general and are
by no means backward about
mentioning it. Business men In both
Ashland and Medford, as a rule hold
that local conditions at this time, do
1 not warrant a recall of anybody.

I H
PLEADS FOR
CESSATION OF
COAl STRIKE
President Harding Urges Coal
Workers and Operators to
Reach Agreement and End
Walk-Out Rights of Public
Paramount No Time for
Radicalism.
WASHINGTON, July 1. Miners and
operators numbering about fifty and
representing both the bituminous and
anthracite coal fields In which work
lias been suspended since April 1, met
at the White House today with Presi
dent Harding In an. endeavor instituted
by the government to find a basis for
negotiating a settlement ot differ
ences. President Harding opened the con
ference in executive session with an
address to the two. parties speaking
only about ten minutes.
The conference then was adjourned
to a meeting room In the interior de
partment and there continued in execu
tive session.
A. M. Ogle, president of the National
Coal association who Is representative
of .the bituminous operators was elect
ed chairman and William Green, gen
eral secretary-treasurer of the United
Mine Workers, was elected secretary.
Secretaries Hoover and Davis accom
panied flie party to the Interior depart
ment meeting. : ,r ',
No Time for Radicalism,
President Harding in convening the
conference advised both parties to ar
rive with measureable promptness at
an understanding "for your mutual
good and the country's common good."
The president declared the present
was no time for "the militant note of
the radical" and reminded the confer
ence that "toleration, fairness, the
spirit to give and take and finally a
sense of the larger obligations to the
public are essential to successful con
ference. Coupled with his appeal and admoni
tion the president uttered what was
regarded as a wanting when he Baid
that if the operators and miners could
not "settle this matter In a frank rec
ognition of the mutuality of your Inter
ests then the larger public inter
est must be asserted in the name cf
the people where the common good is
the first and highest concern."
"We wish you who best know the
way to solution to reach It among
yourselves in a manner to command
the sanction of Amorican public opin
ion," the president said.
"Failing in that, the servants of the
American people will be called to the
task In, the name of American safoty
and for the greatest good of all the
people."
Guard Public Rights
Another pointed statement in the
president's addresB was:
"Labor has the right, capital has the
right, and above all else, the American
people has the right to be freed from
these recurring anxieties (strikes) no
matter what the causes are. That free
dom must be established."
Since President Harding's call for
the conference to consider possible
methods for settlement of the contro
versy,.it has been emphasized by ad
ministration officials that it was the
desire of the government that the
meeting should be held above the con
troversial Issues Involved and rather
lay the baslB and safeguard the way
for another conference fully author
ized to deal with these. It was reiter
ated as the administration's purpose
today to give the participants free op
portunity at the start to attempt to
work out their own plans for a settle
ment.
Of the fifty men participating in the
conference, half are miners union of
ficials, three speak for the general
committee of anthracite operators and
the remainder are the operators select
ed to represent the various districts of
the bituminous field.
President Harding, after welcoming
those .attending the conference, was
leaving the city today for an absence
of a week, but Secretaries Hoover and
Davis were expected to remain in the
conference.
No Signs, of Weakening
There were no signs of weakening In

ers and operators as they gathered at

SOVIET WANTS

Russian Spokesman at Hague
Astonishes European Ex

Country Wants to Start in
Business Again.
THE HAC1UE, June 30. (By tho
Associated Press.) The sum of 1,
612,000,000 gold dollars is the total
amount of credits the central soviet
government would like from the pow
ers to Inaugurate tho immouse task
of reconstructing Russia.
Expressions of astonlshmont by
the European experts were voiced
when Maxim Lttvinoff, Russian
spokesman, announced the figure to
day, further details were naked by
the exports and those will bo pre
sented later In writing.
M. Litvlnoff divided the credit re
quirements into four headings first,
transport, Including railway, water
and motor transport and tho repair
of ports and roads, $525,000,000;
second, agriculture, Including Irriga
tion, replacement of seeds and model
stock farms, fertilizers, machinery
and motor tractors, $462,000,000;
third, Industrial reconstruction In
cluding textile, metallurgical and
timber Industries, $376,000,000;
fourth, commercial and bank credits,
$250,000,000.
Tho oil industry was not provided
for In the estimate because it would
be possible to lease oil arena to con
cerns which would furnish, their own
capital, Mr. Litvlnoff said.
After declaring that Russia 8 pre
war wealth of 75,000,000,000 gold
dollars had been reduced through

permit restoration of her economic
life to a point where imports and ex
ports could he balanced and Interest
could lie paid on loans.

of Bitter Enders Believed
Breaking Dublin Bridge Is
Blown Up.
DUBLIN, July 1. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Tho provisional free
state government turned today to the
task of clearing out tne. remulnlng
nests of insurgents following the fall"
of the Four Courts, the chief strong
hold of. the snti-treaty forces.
The surrender this morning ot
more than 50 rebels who had been
holding out in the Caper street areas
was hailed as evidence that the mor- ;
ale of the republicans had been weak
ened by the yielding of Rory O'Con
nor and Llam Mellowes, two ot their
strongest fighting leaders.
The plan of action against the ir
regulars who have established them
selves in hotels and other premises,
will probably assume the form of an
encircling movement with Intense
fields of action in certain areaB.
Total CHHtinlties 100 ,
The total casualties in the threo
days' fighting have not yet been as-
cermlned, but it Is estimated they
will not greatly exceed 100, the fa
talities being placed at about 40. '
The next area to receive attention
will be the Sackvllle district prob
ably, several blocks east of the Four
Courts, where the republicans last
night took over a block ot buildings,
including the postoflfce and, the
Greshham Urauville and Hamman's
hotels.
It is reported on good authority
that Eiimoir De Valora is in personal
charge ot the Sackvllle area for the
republicans who are reported to be
making elaborate preparations to re-,
pulse any attuck, even breaking
through the slri walls in order to
connect all tho buildings. This morn
ing the windows bristled with rifles.
The ruins of the Four Courts. we.ro.,
still blazing furiously this morning.
