(United News) A bid from Henry Ford for the 200 vessels, which the shipping board bas offered for scrapping, was handed personally Friday to It. V. O'Connor, chairman of tbe board, by W. M. Mayo, Ford'a chief engineer. O'Connor sent the bid to Presi dent Leigh Palmer of the Emer gency Fleet corporation, and it will be considered along with tbe other bids for the ships, negotiations for which were reopened by the board when It rejected Palmer's first recommendation Thursday. The total amount ot Ford's bid was much larger than that of the Boston Iron and Metal company of Baltimore, which the board rejected Thursday, it was learned. Accept ance ot that bid was recommended by Palmer. The amount ot the Ford bid waa not made public. Ford's bid also provided for com plete scrapping, except for such ma chinery aa he may wish to utlllte In his own plant. The Boston Iron and Steel company did bid, and their bid provided for preservation of all machinery, including engines. The board, in rejecting the, offer, ex plained that one reason it had been turned down was because it was not considered economically wise to throw thia machinery on the market. Through thts bid. Ford -regains the opportunity he lost when bis first offer for tbe ships tailed to reach the shipping board. The board was led to place these 200 vessels for scrapping on the market largely through Ford's an nounced desire to buy a large num ber of government ships. He said he was willing to negotiate on basas as high as 400 vessels. No word of the whereabouts of Esther Bradsbaw, 12, and Junle Bradahaw, 14, had been received by Mrs. Ruth Brodland, Juvenile officer, up to a late hour Friday night. The girls disappeared from their home Tuesday night and have not since been heard from. The motive for their leaving borne, it Is said, is the fact their parents refused to permit them to spend the Fourth of July In Klamath Falls. Both the sberiff's office and the local police department are on the watch or the girla but so far their whereabouts have remained a mys tery. The girls' parents reside in Lan- gell valley, where their father Is a well-known sheepman. Officials here scout the theory that the dhildren are In tbe hands of a "bad" man. They are reliably informed that the chlldren'a father has maltreated them on several oc casions. It will likely develop that some kind rancher's wife in the Tule Lake country, has, knowing the situation at home, taken tne children end la caring tor them, not wanting to give tfhem up until as surance is made by the father that no harm will come from their mis conduct in running away.

The French senate ratified the Washington con ference Chinese treaties Friday night, thus romovlng the technical obstacle which has heretofore pre vented te summoning of a confer ence to discuss the Chinese situa tion. SWAMPSCOTT, Mass., July 10. (United News) President Coolidge has summoned Secretary ot State Kellogg to the summer white house to report on the troubled situation in China. Simultaneously, it Is In dicated in an authoritative quarter that the summons of Kellogg may be the forerunner of an Internation al movement to settle, under the terms ot the Washington treaty, the critical relations which exist to day between Ohina and the for eign powers. The president also has asked his secretary ot state ot report the debt funding negotiations with foreign powers which owe the United States. Likelihood of International nego tiations on China in accordance with the Washington treaty, and in place ot a special conference called by the United States, was indicated by the spokesman for Mr. Coolidge. The president's spokesman Friday made plain this belief that condi tions lh China may be believed un der the authority ot the existing Washington treaty. The United States, it was said, has no inten tion of proposing far Intervention in China, nor has she invited other powers to a general conference ot) the question. The treaty on China signed at the time ot the arms conference, pro vided conferences on Chinese and extra territoriality. Customs, and mixed courts naturally would? come under the agenda. Now that France has completed ratification of the treaty, such a conference could be held and would eliminate the neces sity of a special conference. Mr. Coolidge believes that the provisions of the treaty will cover amply what ever measures the powers may have to take to protect their threatened Interests in China.

J., July 10 (United News) The anthracite coal operators and miners held their first Joint executive session Friday In connection with the demands ot the miners for more money, and as the conference adjourned until Tues day, it seemed more likely than ever that unless the federal government intervenes in the meantime, the 160,000 anthracite miners will go on strike when the present working agreement expires at the end ot August. Perhaps the most significant In dlcation after a day in which op erators and union representatives contradicted each other In arguments as to whether the condition ot the Industry would permit a wage in crease, was an authoritative report that the government, whose agents are watching proceedings here and studying the situation from all angles feels that an agreement will be reached before there is a strike. President Coolidge is Intensely in terested in the Joint conference ac cording to James Dewey, federal commissioner of conciliation, who Is representing the department ot labor here, as an official observer. Full reports are being laid before the president by Secretary of Labor Davis. Mr. Coolidge has the power to take over operation of the mines It tho public welfare Is menaced by difficulties causing cessation ot work or other Btoppago ot the coal supply. If the government has adopted, a hopeful attitude. It may have good reason tor it, but it Is not shared by -other parties to the onference. "There are no Indications that an agreement will be reached, and it none Js reached by September first, there will be a walk-out," said a statement from the union representa tives, which announced that "they bave no hope ot reaching an agree ment during the conference."
