P. Interest of the Western farmer in the national campaign centers around taxes and other donu.iiic questions, rather than the eague of Nations, declared Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas, who conferred with G. o. P.

National Hays today. Coincident with this nsscriiou came an appeal from Jtepresenta-tive J. VV. Fnrdney, chairman of the Congressional Wnys and Means Committee, urging that the G. O.

P. managers emphasize a tariff issue and preach an "equalization of the difference in the cost of production here, and abroad by tariff revision." Democrats interpreted the move as an indication that the Republicans "had a bad end of the League of Nations argument and were seeking to substitute something else." i TO COST MORE HERE Federal Court Holds 80-Cent or $1 Law Confiscatory- No Rate Fixed. The Kings County Lighting i'o. today won its light in lie Federal Court for a higher gas rate, when Judge Charles M. Hough In Manhattan congrnied the sulisiantial features of the report of Special Master Gordon Auehineloss and granted an injunction restraining the authorities from enforcing the SO-cent law or the $1 law, both of which 'were declared confiscatory.

The Court did not fix a rale, but gave tho company power to charge more than $1, leaving room in the Judgment for any modification that might be necessary or that might bo prompted- by hanged conditions. Hither the gas company or the Public Service Commission may make an application for revision upward or downward of the new rate that is yet to be fixed. US Cents Present Hate. Coder the order issued iMt Juno by the Federal Court the Kings County Lighting Company lias been charging 95 cents per 1,000 cubic feet and part of this sum has been retained in custody fthe Court for reimbursement in the event of a derision in favor of a lower rate. The hearings before the Special Master showed, Judge Hough pointed out.

that it cost tho company more than the rate allowed to it to make and distribute gas and that the huge demands for coal oil, created by the ever-increasing consumption of gasoline had made it impossible for the company to buy this vital necessity in modern day gas production at a cost even approximating a moderate advance over the old prices. Judge Hough held that the contention of the Public Service Commission that the gas company could resort to coking and could not be seriously considered, as the plant is not equipped for gasmaking by that method. "The sum of the matter is this," declared Judge Hough. "Jt cost plaintiff and would have cost any othc-well-operated maker of gas at least 85 cents to furnish 1,000 cubic feet of gas in 19111, and at least li6 cenU to do the same thing in 1920. 1 "The fundamental reason for this is that the oil best fitted for the gas maker is also richest in gasoline.

Therefore, plaintiff and other similar-lly situated manufacturers are and have been competing with, especially the motorcars. This difficulty is not temporary, so fur as human foresight goes. It may well be that gas makers will be driven buck to coking coal, but that does not affect the right of a concern lawfully organized to make gas with oil and possessing no plant for coal gas. Final Decree May He Submitted. "A final decree may be submitted, which will ufter appropriate recitals respecting lie exceptions to the Master's report.

confirm the report as modified, declare the unconstitutionality of the acts of 1906 and 1916 in respect to rates, award the plaintiff the injunction prayed for and costs against the appearing defendant. It will also contain the usual provisions for applying at the foot of the decree for further relief or for modification or vacation of the injunction." The lighting company in this proceeding contended that the present cost of manufacture and distribution is per 1.000 cubic feet and that because it has been unable to collect an adequate rate there are no funds immediately available for the enlargement of the plant to meet the evergrowing demand of the sections it undertakes to serve. The company claimed it was compelled to furnish gas of heating quality instead of candlepower gas. The company several years ago lost its action in the State courts for higher rates.

The debate at times appeared disorderly. The resolution was carried a 3 to 1 vote. Hear ye! Hear ye Brooklyn women declare hey are as intelligent as New Jersey women today and assail the last ditch of man's common law in New York, the jury box, with threats to take it by storm at the next session of the Legislature. The cause of all this outburst was the woman jury in the Orange lltrict Court, over the Palisades and far away, which yesterday rendered a verdict and found it for a man.

Now, early this year Supreme Court Justice Lazansky in this county ruled that just because sbe could vote, man's better half was not entitled to sit on Jury duty. The Appellate Division upheld his ruling. So did the New York Legislature. However, tempos has done a lot of fugiting since then. Next month Brooklyn women will vote for President.

They will probably throw a lot of votes to women candidates. Ward politicians are putting on their best clothes and going out into the highways and byways with their top hats, to ingratiate themselves into the favor of the woman voter. Wherefore are the leaders of women hoping in capital letters that the next sesfion of the Legislature will make worn, truly equal and aliow them the privilege of thinking up excused to be released from the jury list, just like their husbands, lathers.

To the general public the announcement may mean little although that general public owed him much in the years when' he commanded the Hrooklyn lire-fighting force. but to the firemen of Greater New York who knew "Tom" Lally as a born reman and a natural leader of men, the realization will come home that one of the best chiefs who ever wore a helmet or rolled from an engine house, has passed from the life of Hrooklyn.

Gorman of 237 BeiKen who represents the 36th District In the Aldernuinlc Chamber, was lined $10 by Magistrate Doyle in the.

Jamaica court this morning on Urn disorderly conduct charge which grew out of his clash with the Glen-dale police on the night of Oct. 3. lie paid the fine and left the court, refusing to' make a statement or to Indicate whether or not ho would appeal the case. Magistrate Doyle on Monday held Gorman in J'11" bail for trial In th Court of Special Session on a charge of driving a motorcar when intoxicated. That was the major charge lodged against him by tile, police as a result of the doings on the night of Oct.

3. The disorderly conduct charge was lodged against Gorman as a secondary matter after, according to the police, he had called them a fancy assortment of names, had offered to "lick" the biggest of them and had threatened to have I hem all "broke." This is all alleged to have happened in the Glen-dale slatlon house, whence Gorman was taken by Patrolman Fudzinski, who made the arrest. Fudzinski testifies to having found Gorman and a few friends attempting to deposit a "drunk" in a doorway in Kidgewood. and says that when he remonstrated with them he got only abuse for his pnlns. Later, when Gormnn and his friends were driving nway In a motorcar operated by Gorman, Fudzinski alleges the ear described such a course that he decided to take Gorman In for his own safety as well as thai of the general public which niifcht happen to get in the way.

NEEDLE IN SPINE, SUES DOCTOR WH0V OPERATED ON HIM McCoy's Own Fault, Says Dr. Block-Negligence, Says the Plaintiff. A suit for damages has been instituted in the County Court against Dr. Siegfried Block of 502 Washington by Edward McCoy of 167 Waver-ly who alleges that the physician left a portion of a surgical needle in the baso of his spine after an operation. Since McCoy started his action he says that he has had to undergo a serious operation to have the needle removed, and has requested permission from County Judge May to discontinue his suit In the Supreme Court because lie intends to seek greater damages than can be afforded by the lesser court, which is limited to $2,000.

Dr. Block, in an affidavit, admits that he operated upon McCoy on Aug. 1, 1919, in order to make a lumbar puncture, but that due to McCoy's failure to obey his instructions, McCoy-caused the needle to break off anil lodge in the lower extremity of his spine. McCoy asks damages on account of personal injuries inflicted upon him by reason of the "negligence'' of the physician, and avers that since the occurrence he has not been able to work or receive any income. Dr.

Block avers that he immediately notified McCoy and his wife of the presence of the broken needle in his spinal column and offered to take him to a hospital for an operation at his own expense. The physician further states that the presence of the needle in the spine caused McCoy no suffering and that it would not cause him any injury. Judge May reserved decision in the motion for discontinuance in the County Court. SHOUSE RESIGNS HIS POST IN TREASURY Assistant Secretary to Quit Nov. 15-Wilson Accepts.

London, Oct. 14 The United Kingdom today was faced with perhaps the most ominous industrial crisis in Us history, due to the decision of the coal miners to allow the strike notices to become effective Saturday night, following their rejection of the compromise offered to their demand for a 2 shilling per shift increase in wages. It seemed certain that unless the Government or the mine owners conceded the demands of the men or made fresh and attractive offers, more than 800,000 miners would not return to the pits Monday, thereby throwing hundreds of thousands of workers in other industries out of work and paralyzing the life of the country.

Official returns from the National Miners' ballot concerning the datum line proposal of the owners showed an overwhelming majority in favor of rejection 181,428 for and 635,098 against. At this morning's crucial conference of the miners delegates, who met to consider the deadlock, a small minority held out for submission of the claims of the men to arbitration, but this was brushed aside. It was stated that the miners executive expected to be summoned to the Board of Trade this afternoon, but whether this would occur, or if so what it pressaged, was a matter of speculation. No sooner had news of the decision of the miners been received in the great steel district of Cleveland, Yorkshire, than the iron and steel manu-facurers there began preparations for closing the works. It is expected that if the strike materializes most of the blast and steel furnaces will become idle immediately.

The Government, while saying little, for weeks has been actively preparing to handle the situation in the event of the strike being called. Miners' Action a Surprise. The Miners' Conference adjourned at midafternoon without receiving any communication from the government. The delegates will meet again tomorrow to make final arrangements for the strike. The Triple Alliance railway men, transport workers and miners prob-ubly will meet immediately, and it is expected either the alliance or some other trade union will make efforts to set up mediation machinery.

The action of the miners came as a great surprise, as it was generally anticipated that they would again suspend I the strike notices. Majority Against Strike. (B Cable to 1'he Hronklyn Eaglo and Piila- ilillihla Public l.tttarr, Copyripht 1D20.) London, Oct. 14 The coal miners' decisive vote against acceptance of the' owners' datum line proposal of basing increased wages on a greater production brings forward once more their long threatened and much discussed strike. In view of the fact that the miners' leaders' particularly President Smillle, urged them to accept the owners' proposal, their rejection by a vote of five to one came as a surprise.

It is erally considered that their action is not so much for a strike as against the principle involved and as a rebuke to their leaders. Although some of the districts insist on a strike on the basis of the original demand for an increase of two shillings, normally 48 cents per day and a decrease of 14 shillings and pence, normally $3.56, to the householders, and declare they will not be governed by any decision of the leaders to tho contrary, the strike fever has aba' I. The majority of the workers d- not favor stoppage of wdrk, winch still has the pronounced disapproval of public opinion. Three causes are assigned by of the Labor party here today for the miners' action: First, they are unwilling to admit that the entire blame for the present decrease in production rests with them, which would be assumed if they accepted the owners' proposal. Second, they do not desire the introduction of the new principle of making the output the sole basis for determining wages.

Third, they believe unfair the system under which one class of workers, such as hewers of coal, who largely regulate the output, should have the power to determine the wages of all, and which would enable the miners in one section to block the plan by not working. It is considered likely that at a conference with the government officials to be held later, the suggestion of referring the dispute to an impartial tribunal, rejected a few weeks ago, will be accepted and referred to the workers for final settlement. A further postponement of the strike date will be made if a third ballot is taken. ACCIDENT COSTS WHITNEY $40,000 A Jury in Justice Edward J. Glen-non's part of the Supreme Court today returned a verdict for $40,000 against Payne Whitney and in favor of Kdith Bloodgood, who, on June 18, 1917, while a resident of the.

Boro of Queens, wus permanently Injured in a collision between her automobile, driven by her husband, Harry Blood-good, and the Payne Whitney machine. The plaintiff alleged in court that the Whitney touring car, driven by Henry C. O'Shca, was so negligently handled that without any carelessness on the part of her husband the cars collided on Jackson near 3d Queens, while her car was enroute to New York, and she was thrown to the pavement, head foremost. She declared that her car was badly damaged that It cost more than $1,000 to put It in repair 'again, but that such damage was only incidental to her own physical suffering, which, she declared, "has been almost continuous since that time." The medical testimony was to the effect that Mrs. Bloodgood had received injuries of the head, body and limbs and severe internal Injuries.

The stilt was brought to trial once before, the Jury disagreeing, but some of the Jurymen who favored a verdict for the plaintiff let It be known that they believed suit should have been brought for $100,000 instead of the which Mrs. Bloodgood nsked. The complaint was accordingly amended as tn the amount of damages demanded. The verdict, however, wss for less than tho original sum of 150, (100.

C0ORTM0VET0 BLOCK ERECTION OF WING ON WALKER'S HOME Paul Grout Seeks Injunction. Ex-Judge Cullen and Bartlett Interested. No. 25 Pierrepont the home of A. T.

Walker, Brooklyn's newest and most mysterious millionaire, has again broken into newsprint. The latest episode revolves around the proposal of thte owner of the building, Albert Zapfe, to erect a five-story extension In the rear of the present five-story structure and the application of Paul Grout of 150 Willow st. for a temporary injunction to restrain him. Argument on the injunction will be heard in the Supreme Court before Justice Faher on Oct. 21.

The battle takes on added interest because of the apprehension with which other residents of the Heights adjoining the Pierrepont St. including former Chief Judges Edgar M. Cullen and W'illard Bartlett of the Court of Appeals, are watching the proceedings. Judge Cullen lives at 144 Willow st. and Judge.

Bartlett at 21 Pierrepont st. No. 25 Pierrepont st. is the corner house and the erection of the proposed extension, it is claimed, would shut off the light from adjoining houses on both streets, In addition to creating an unsightly extension beyond the setback line on Willow st. To do so Mr.

C-rout contends will be a violation of the restrictions established when the Pierrepont property was originally cut up into building lots. Speculation as to the reason for the proposed extension Is rife on the Heights. One of the theories advanced is that the addition is required to house the safe in which Millionaire Walker proposes to deposit the shekels left him by the wifl of the late Edward F. Searles. "If he does I'll break into it." was the grim comment of Mr.

Grout. PROBE OF MARINE RULE IN HAITI AND SLAYINGS DEMANDED Action by Non-Partisan Committee Follows Publication of Casualty Numbers. Full investigation by a nonpartisan committee of Americans and Haitians of the administration of affairs in Haiti by American forces was demanded in a statement made public today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Gradual withdrawal of United Statos marines and appointment of commission "to report on reparation to Haitians who suffered bereavement, injury or property loss from the American invasion" were recommended. This action followed the publication yesterday that "approximately" 3,250 natives of Haiti were killed by marines and the gendarmerie of Haiti.

The association gave out a copy of a telegram sent to Senator Harding congratulating him "on the result of your inquiry into tho unconstitutional and brutal invasion of Haiti." Washington, Oct. 14 Major General John A. Le Jeune, commandant of tile Marine Corps, said today that thu two Corps privates who were tried for killing captive Haitian bandits, executed the prisoners on orders of their commanding officer. Lt. H.

T. Brokaw, who subsequently was adjudged insane and removed from the service. The privates were acquitted, the General said. Evidence adduced at the trial of thP two men led to an investigation of what Brigadier General Barnett, then commandant of the Corps, characterized as "Indiscriminate killing" of Haitians. Gen.

Lejeune declined to discuss the result of the investigation which Gen. Barnett ordered last year Immediately after examining the evidence adduced at the trial of the two Marines, and which he referred to in his report to Secretary Daniels yesterday on Marine Corps operations in Haiti up to last June 30. Gon. Lejeune said Secretary Daniels probably would have a statement to make on his return to Washington tomorrow. WHO OWNS THE WINE?
