DECIDE TO ARREST
LEADER OF INDIANS
DECISION TO ARREST MAHANOAS
K. GANDHI HAS BEEN REACH
ED BY GOVERNMENT
MUST APPOINT SECRETARY
Removal Os Lord Reading Is Now
Believed Probable —Indian Situ
ations Looks Dangerous
Delhi. India.—The government has
definilely decided lo arrest Mohandas
K. Gandhi, the non-eo-operatlonist
leader. He is now in the Ajmere ds
trict, about 220 miles southwest of this
city.
London. —Removal of Ixird Reading
as viceroy of India, it is believed in
some quarters, will be the, denounce
ment to the publication of the Indian
government's note. There is nothing
tangible on which to base this belief,
but it is not improbable as a sequel
to the virtual dismissal of Edwin S.
Montagu as secretary for India.
The probable effect in India of Mr.
Montagu's resignation is the subject
of much curiosity, and there are some
misgivings lest the removal of cham
pion of Indian political reform have a
dangerous repercussion there.
Equally momentous from the do
mestic political point of view Is the
' effect that the whole affair may have
tin (lie fortunes of the government, es
pecially as to tin* position of Prime
Minister Lloyd George. Home believe
tin- chances that the premier will
make good his threatened reslgno-,
tlon have been considerably increased
and that, if he also takes the view
that American absentation from the
Genoa conference lessens the coun
try may soon learn of his definite
arrangement.
The successor of Secretary Mon
tagu must be appointed soon, in view
of the dangerous situation in India.
The opinion in the lobbies overnight
was that Winston Spencer Churchill
who was first mentioned us likely to
be appointed, Is too intimately con
cerned in the Irish settlement to allow
his removal from Ids present office
as secretary for the colonies. Talk
is mostly centering about the Duke of
Devonshire, former governor general
of Cunudnx, although other names are
mentioned.
India Asks Revision of Sevres Treaty
London. Tin* house of commons
will probably adjourn to debate the
situation created by unprecedented
piddle recommendations of India, re
lating to Turkey and revision of the
Sevres treaty. The Indian govern
ment has urged: 1. llritfsh evacua
tion of Constantinople. 2. Suzerainty
of the sultan over the Holy places.
3, Restoration of the Ottoman empire
of Thrace, including Adrianople and
Smyrna. The object of these recom
mendations, which were made in a dis
patch from ixird Reading, viceroy of
India, to Edwin Montague, secretary
of state for India, is to mollify Mo
hammedan feeling in the Near East.

DAVIS WARNS OF
U.S. INTERFERENCE
- -
IN FINAL EFFORT TO AVERT
THREATENED STRIKE, SECRE
TARY APPEALS TO ALL SIDES
STRIKE DECLARED CERTAIN
U. S. “Has Duty To Safeguard Inter
ests Os The People,” Declares
Secretary Davis
Washington.—The government in
i making a final effort to avert the j
i bituminous coal strike threatened for
April 1, has issued a warning that “it .
has a duty to safeguard the interests |
of the people.’*
This was considereJ an indication I
that the government would intervene j
should the strike materialize and men- 1
ace public safety.
The declaration was contained in a j
final appeal from Secretary of Labor !
. Davis to the miners and operators to
i meet in conference in an effort to 1
settle their differences.
“The government has no mind to
interfere unduly, but having not only j
the interests of the employers and em- ;
ployees in mind, it also has a duty to !
safeguard the interests of the people, j
who w ill he seriously affected by the |
suspension of coal-mining,” said Da- I
vis.
"I cannot see why, in the interests
of common sense, the two sides to the
coal controversy cannot get together
and adjust their difference and save
the country from the costly results of
a strike.’’
Any intervention, it was thought,
would be predicated on the argument
that the government has an inherent
constitutional duty to protect the pub
lic.
Pittsburg.—The Pittsburg Coal Pro
ducers’ association whose, members
employ the 45,000 union njlners in the
western Pennsylvania bituminous
field, recently reiterated their deter
mination not to meet the United Mine
Workers of America and the operators
of the central competitive field for
the purpose of fixing a new wage
scale for western Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois.
“Our decision lias been reached. We
will deal with our own men in west
ern Pennsylvania, union or non-union,
on a working agreement, with the ex
ception of the check off, but w-e will
not be a party to a scare for Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois. Our decision is
irrevocable.”
Treaty Anglo-Jap Scheme, Is Charge
Washington.—Charging that the
four-power Pacific treaty resulted I
from a Japanese-British plan to off
set the embarrassing effect of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance, opponents of
the pact sought without success in the
senate to learn exactly by whom the
original draft of tho document was
prepared. Each of the senate’s repre
sentatives of the arms conference del- |
egation. Senators Lodge, of Massachu
setts, and Underwood, of Alabama, de
clared in reply to direct questions that
the delegation head, Secretary Hughes,
had conducted most of the negotia
tions leading up to the treaty. Mr.
Lodge said "many hands” had helped
in the drafting and redrafting, and
that he did not know w’ho made the
first suggestion. Mr. Underwood as
serted that the first draft he saw was
the final one, laid before him by Sec
retary Hughes.
Pershing Protests Reduction Os Army
Washington.—The country will be j
j without an armed force large enough |
| to handle domestic emergencies, "let |

ing declared before the house military
affairs committee. Told by Chairman
Kahn that the army appropriation bill
i soon to be Introduced, would recom- j
; ment 115,000 enlisted men. General !
! Pershing said: “Well all I can say j
is the people w\}l suffer.’’

who were federal prisoners now are

FOURTH PROPOSAL ON PLANT
Authorization For Committee To Visil
Muscle Shoals To Be Introduced
In The House
Washington.—lnvestigation by the
house military committee ot the vari
ous offers from private interests for
purchase, lease, completion and oper
i ation of the government’s power and
i nitrate projects at Muscle Shoals, j
I Ala., moved rapidly nearer a conclu- |
| sion in the past few days at the end j
of open hearings on the subject, com- j
' mittee members assert.
A conference by Chairman Kann j
with Speaker Gillett, resulting in the |
announcement that a statement au- j
thorizing the committee members to J
visit Muscle Shoals and vicinity would
be introduced in the house soon, was i
one of the outstanding developments. :
Other events included the completion j
of testimony on the third and last
offer before the committee, that sub
mitted by Frederick E. Engstrum, of
Wilmington, N. C., which provides
for a 50-year lease of the properties
and their completion under supervi
sion of an operating company to be
created, subject t<> government ap
j proval.
The committee also received infor
j mallv copies of a new proposal which
has been submitted to the war de
; partment by Thomas Hampton, D. C.
The offer followed closely the origi
nal offer of Mr. Engstrum, allowing
tor completion and operation of the
shoals projects, including the
manufacture of nitrates and fertilizer
compounds, in the event the govern
ment decided to finance the develop
ment by reimbursing the operating
company which would be created by
Mr. Hampton. Secretary Weeks was
: absent from his office and war de
parment officials declined to com
ment on what action it would take
with respect to forwarding the pro
posal to congress.
The committee recalled Thomas W\
Martin, president of the Alabama
Power company, who briefly explain
ed that the power company had not
participated in any way in the prop
aganda campaign, which, he said,
was being conducted throughout the
country in the interests of one of the
proposals the committee was investi
gating. Mr. Martin declared the com
pany “was standing flatly on its rec
ord as a public utility of long serv
ice” and was confident of the fairness
of the offer it had made for Muscle
Shoals,.
Chairman Kahn conferred with Sec
retary Mellon on the financial phase
of Muscle Shoals development. The
secretary said he would reserve any
statement until he had carefully stud
ied the various proposals and testi
| mony the committee had collected re
garding them. Mr. Kahn said he ex
pected Mr. Mellon would testify before
the committee concluded its hearings,
and that Attorney General Dougherty
also would appear to give his opin
ions on the legal complications exist
ing between the war department and
private companies who claim option
j rights on certain of the shoals units.
W. B. Mayo, chief of Mr. Ford's en
gineers, is scheduled to present to the
committee the alterations which Mr.
Ford has agreed to make in his con
tract proposal. These have been await
ed with interest by proponents of the
! Ford plan who contend that the alter
! ations, when disclosed, will cause a
i decided change in attitude on the part
of committeemen who perhaps have
| not been altogether favorable in their
interpretations of the offer in the form
it was submitted.
American Doctor Attends Bull Fighter
Mexico City.—When Luis Frek, lead-
I ing matador, was seriously gored dur-
I ing a benefit corrida recently, Dr. Wil
liam J. Mayo, American surgeon, who
! is visiting Mexico City, was requested

Freg. Dr. Mayo was given an ovation
by the crowd when he returned from
the infirmary. Frek may die, the main
artery in his left thigh having been
severed.

Plan 7c Duty On Long Staple Cotton
Washington.—An import duty of 7c
a pound on long staple cotton —the fig
ure in the emergency tariff law—is un
derstood to have been agreed upon by
Republican members of the senate fi
nance committee who are rewriting
the Fordney tariff bill. Some commit
] teemen were said to have insisted up-
J on a rate of ten cents and to have
given notice that they would carry
their fight to the senate floor. In pre
senting their program, senators of the
Republican bloc asked for a rate of
fifteen cents a pound.
