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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
