posal, together with the statement
that chiefs of the non-striking unions
planned to contliAje their efforts at
mediation of the rail controversy.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14 The asser
tion that evidence bearing upon the
case of 36 alleged members of the Ku

I the Inglewood raid of April 22 had dis
appeared from his office was made to
day by William C. Doran, chief deputy
I district attorney.
He said that one missing document
'had found its way Into the hands ot
I attorneys for the defense and was
'turned over by them to Trial Judge
j Frederick W. Houser. Doran said he
'had no idea how the evidence could
have gotten out of his office which has
been under guard ever since the raid.
The document turned over to Judge
Houser was a partial report to Doran
by another deputy district attorney re
lating to a conversation the latter had
eight days before the raid with M. B.
Osher, Inglewood constable, who was
one of the raiders and who was killed
in the affair.

ments are concerned. .
LONDON, Aug. 15. (By Associated

cessful allied conference on German

Premier-Lloyd' George was repre
sented in the large gathring which

private secretary, Sir Edward Grigg,
nnd Foreign Secretary Curzon by Sir
William Tyrell. Others present includ
ed Sir Robert Home, chancellor of the

smiling and who refuged even to pose
for a photograph. Before going to the
station the French premier accompan
ied by his staff, visited the grave of
the unknown, warrior, on which he
placed a wreath 01 flowers, bound with

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 Estab
lishment of a special re-dlscount rate
of three and one-half per cent on
agricultural paper is under conside
ration hy the federal reserve board,
officials said today. The proposal has
been laid before the federal resenve
banks, it was explained, and action
by the board is being withheld pend
ing their replies, although officials
indicated the suggestion was not
mooting with favor generally.
Officials explained the special farm
rate .would enable banks which made
loans for agricultural purposes to re
Hscount at ZVi per cent, one-half pe.
cent below the lowest reserve rate
now in effect, if the rate charged by
the banks to the original borrower
did not exceed six per cent.
Board officials apparently differed
as to the advisability of tho farm
commodity rate being revived under
present conditions.

LESS BEER 'AND
By DAVID M. CHURCH,
International. News Service Staff
Correspondent, '' '
LONDON, Aug. 15. Pessimistic pre-
'dictions that the English are a dying
race are boiled by the latest batch of
vital statistics, which show that in
stead of decaying the English people
are more virile and alive than ever be
fore In their history.
The latest compilation is for the
year ,1920, and this report shows that
the mnrrlnge rate has increased, the
birth rate has Increased, the death rate
has decreased, and altogether England
Is in a flourishing nnd populous condi
tion. The shining records which are caus
ing great enthusiasm In England sot
forth theso facts for 1920:
The marriage rate was the highest
ever reported 20.2 per cent per 1000
ot all ages.
The birth rate was 25.5 per 1000, the
highest 3lnco 1909.
Tho number of births was 957,782,
the largest numbor over recorded.
The death rate was the lowest ever
recorded 12.4 per 1000.
These facts having been presented,
now England Is swelling its chest with
pride, but wrinkling its brows and
querying, "Why?"
Less beer and post-war marriage are
held responsible for these statistics by
many sociologists.
Post-war marriages were numerous
but there are doubts whether they
wero always happy or wIbb marriages,
the sociologists say.
Although there are many who would
like to hide the fact, It Is true that
these records were set up when the
war restrictions Uon the sale of beer
and alcoholic stimulants were most
strict.
