S., Dies r 1 Ibc Wu Ting Fang. Wu Ting Fang. Ex-Envoy to U. S Expires at Canton Was Outstanding Leader in Polities and Jurisprudence in China for Many Years. Shanghai, June 23. (By A. P.) Wu Ting-Fang, former minister to Washington, more recently foreign minister for Sun Yat-Sen in the dis rupted southern republican govern ment at Canton, died at Canton this morning, according to a Rcutcr dis patch. Wu, an outstanding leader in the politics and jurisprudence of China for inanv years, remained, at last re ports, loyal to Sun Yat-Sen and was believed to have ncd Canton with the deposed south China president. The Ketiter dispatch gave no details. In 1917 Wu Ting-Fang was prime minister of the Pekin republican gov ernment. After the government as then constituted was overthrown by militarists, he went to Shanghai. Later he cast hS lot with Sun Yat- Sen. and since has been Sun's most powerful statesman. When Li Yuang-Hung recently was restored to the presidency of the central government in Pekin it was to Wu Ting-Fang that he turned for help in unifying the coun try. President Li. on assuming of fice, telegraphed Wu an offer to be premier at Pekin. So far as cor respondents had been able to learn, the offer was ignored. Li, at least, announced that he had received no reply. The president, however, had not filled the most important place in his cabinet pending hope of a fa vorable answer. from Wu. , Northern statesmen had expressed the opinion that Wu Ting-Fang could do more, perhaps, than any other man to bring the north and south together. Nine-Tenths of Herrin in Mining Industry Herrin, 111.. June 23. (By A. P.) This typical coal-mining town is approximately 100 miles southeast of St. Louis. Its population lacks just a few persons of being 11,000, the exact number, according to the latest population statistics, being 10.986. It is estimated that easily nine-tenths of these people arc miners or are di rectly, or indirectly connected with the coal-mining industry. Foreigners, notably Italians, com prise, it is said, more than one-third of the population of the county. Many of the foreigners are natural ized. Three railroads run into the city, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, the Illinois Central and the Missouri Pacific. Marion, 12 miles distant, is the county seat and has a population of 9,582. It is the largest city near the scene of the killings. Most of the 449-square mile area of Williamson county is dotted with bituminous coal mines. There are about 35 of the largest mines in the country within the county's borders. Strip, or surface, collieries in the county number four, but are consid ered small mines in comparison with the deep shafts. The county, which is in the part of southern Illinois called "Little Egypt," has been noted for minor disorders at the mines in the past, because of which it has been called "Bloody" Williamson county.

THE SUNDAY BEE iCloture Is Demanded on f- ;ff -ofRepub $7 limiting Debate . . . u-Thirds Vote Dcni ' ocrats Give Answers. May Lay Aside Measure Washington, June 2J. Slow progress in the senate tariff bill to ! tUy resulted in a new cloture move ment. Republican leaders, in private conferences, planned to invoke the existing cloture rule, limiting debate by a two-thirds vote and, if unsuc cessful, they said they were consid ering the drastic step of laying aside the tariff bill to fight for their pend ing majority cloture rule. Senator Watson, republican, In diana, was said to have made the suggestion for an attempt to ap ply the two-thirds rule now in the rule book. He said he was plan ning within a day or two to begin circulation of a petition, requiring only 16 senators' signatures, for pre sentation to the senate. It was hpped, however, to obtain in danvance pledges of the necessary two-thirds support. Republican leaders said it was possible that the necessary pledges might be obtained or within a few votes of the required two thirds. Lodge Urges Cloture. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, republican leader, said he believed the cloture move would be made. If this effort to get an early vote on the bill should fail. Senator Lodge added, the republican leaders were considering seriously the plan to lay aside the tariff bill and make a fight for the new rule to invoke cloture by majority vote and "fight it out ail summer if necessary." Committee amendments in two paragraphs of the bill were disposed of today, and the votes on these were the first the senate had had since the consideration of the measure was resumed last Tuesday, following pas sage of the naval appropriation bill. Rates approved were on chains and spades, scythes, etc. The rates on chains ranged from 7-8 cents a pound to 35 per cent ad valorem and re ported a material reduction from the bills originally proposed by the com mittee majority. Amendments offered by Senator Simmons, democrat, North Carolina, calling tor even greater reductions were rejected by large majorities. The duty on spades, etc., approved, was 35 cents ad va lorem as originally recommended. Democrats Make Replies. Much of today's discussion con-1 sistcd of democratic replies to speeches made previously by re publican senators. Contentions of those senators that American in dustry was threatened by an inflow of cheaply produced German goods were disputed by Senators Hichcock of Nebraska and Jones of New Mexico, both democrats. They under took also to show that there was not s great a spread between wages in this country and 111 Germany as senators on the majority side had contended. Presenting official reports from American government commercial representatives in Germany to show that wages in that country as meas ured in marks were from 10 to 20 times as high as gefore the war, Senator Hitchcock told the senate that the talk about disastrous Ger man competition was a "bugaboo." Both he and Senator Jones declared that the bill seemed to be designed to continue commercial war with Ger many. The Nebraska senator asserted that respite enormous subsidies to rail roads and industries in an effort to cheapen production and expand ex port trade, Germany now was able to export only one-third as much as it did begore the war. Because of the condition of its national budget, he continued, Germany already finds it necessary to withdraw the subsidies and, as a result wages there are going up. On the other hand, he said, wages in this country are being re duced so that the difference in pro duction costs is being decreased. Citing reductions in imports from Germany, Senator Jones said any "flood was going by and that the republicans were raising a "ghost" in emphasizing the alleged danger of German competition. Pickaninny Harmony Broadcast by The Bee The Hec's radio audience was treated list night to a repertoire uf sryigi that ranged from clarinet so los to pickaninny harmony. Two clarinet solo, by Alfred Miller. "Long, Long Ago," and "Spanish Dame," accompanied by Mrs. Bertha Codington, were re ceived well by radio audiences throughout the central west. Miss Margaret Schmit troth's piano selec tions took the ether to the delight of invisible audiences that were lis tening in on The Bee's program. The Red Arrow pickaniny quartet, composed of Joseph Wyatt and his three sons, Joseph, Victor and Otis, all of Des Moines, la., injected real harmony in three songs, "Heaven," "Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes." and "Ain't Got No Time for Blues." It was the first radio con cert for Jhee harmony kings pre paratory to a tour through Ne braska for the Red Arrow stores. The program was sent from WAAW, the Omaha Grain ex change. Harding Takes New Step to End Miners' Strike Cabinet Considers Situation Following Violence in Illi nois Official Report Is Demanded. By GRAFTON WILCOX. Omaha Bee Yeaned Wire. ders and other outrages in the coal fields of southern Illinois have stirred the administration to a renewed ef fort to' settle the coal strike. President Harding, following cab inet consideration of the Illinois strike violence, let it be known that the government has taken a new step looking to adjustment of the strike, but would not disclose the details. The president, it was said, realized that efforts of the government to end strikes are some times not appreci ated and often get nowhere, but it is his conviction that the government should do everything in its power to end the conflict now. Ack for Reports. The Illinois assassinations, Presi dent Harding greatly deplores. At the cabinet meeting this morning, the disclosure was made that the govern ment had no official'report on the oc currences at 'Herrin, and inquiries were sent out to federal authorities in Illinois to make complete reports to Washington at once. There is little that the president can do to end the strike, other than to persuade the miners and operators to come to Washington for a confer ence. So far as can be learned, the presi dent has issued no invitation for such a conterence, out some ot nis ad visers believe that inquiries have been sent out which may lead to the call of a joint conference in Washington in the near future. All members of the cabinet appre ciate the danger in the coal strike situation aside from the violence that may spread to other mining centers. The summer is getting well along and coal supplies are getting threat eningly low. Something, they insist, must be done to brine about resump tion of coal production, if suffering is to be averted next winter. Davis Issues Statement. Secretary of Labor Davis issued a statement following the meeting of the cabinet in which he denounced the Illinois mine murders and called for prosecution of the guilty to the fullest extent of the law. "The Department of Labor," said Secretary Davis, "deeply deplores the violence which has resulted in loss of life in the coal fields of Il linois. American workmen on both sides of the controversy over the re lations between the mine worker and the . mine operator have been killed and injured. Those who are guilfy of this crime should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. One of the unfortunate features of this deplorable occurrence is that the death of these men will accomplish nothing in the direction of a settle-' ment of the dispute. Surely those responsible for the occurrence of this strike, both among the workers and among the employers, should seri ously consider the fate of these work men. Surely no better argument can be advanced for the settlement of these disputes Around the conference table, than the bodies of a score or more of American workmen, who met a futile death in this outbreak. Sure ly, in this civilized age, matters of dispute between men in industry can be adjusted without resort to bloodshed." Slayer of Jack Gellis Enters Prison to Begin Life Term Lincoln, June 23. (Special.) George Nencoff, found guilty of the murder of Jack Gellis at Valentine, Neb., entered the state penitentiary here today to serve a life sentence.

Meteorologist N. V. Robins' pre diction that Friday would break all heat records for the season was veri fied when the mercury mounted to 98 degrees above at 4 and S yesterday afternoon. This is two degrees above the previous record reached Thurs day, and equal to the record estab lished last year on June 28. At sunrise yesterday the ther mometer registered 76, three degrees warmer than the highest previous record at that hour. This lead over previous high temperatures was main tained throughout the day. No Record Broken. Although 98 was considered ex ceptionally warm by Omahanr, this temperature is far below the record established August 4, 1918, when 110 was reached, according to the gov ernment weather bureau. This was the highest temperature ever re corded in Omaha. One day in Jyne of the same vear the thermometer read 105. At Kearney, Neb., it was 97 above at 4 yesterday afternoon. Farmers throughout the state are scanning the skies wistfully and hope that every little flurry of clouds may bring rain, which is badly needed. Corn Still Unharmed. Corn is the only crop which has not suffered from the intense heat. Hot south winds have prevailed al most contnually for the past week. North Platte reported 96 degrees yesterday, Denver 82, Des Moines, "la.. 94, Dodge City 94, and Salt Lake 78. The highest temperature at Cheyenne, Wyo., was 74. Tchitcherin 111. London.

The Omaha Morning Bee The Evening Bee Safe From Him Anywhere tt'apyrlsbl, IKM Mine War Bulletins Chicago, 111., June 23. New threats of violence have been made in the Williamson county mine field within the last 24 hours. Dr. F. C. Honnold, secretary of the Illinois Coal Operators' association declared today. He said pumpmen at three mines of the Madison Coal company had been threatened that unless they quit work they would "get the same dose we gave the strike breakers in Herrin." Waukegan, III., June 23. (By A. P.) Governor Len Small at noon today received a telegram from Col. Samuel N. Hunter, representative of the adjutant general at Herrin, plac ing the blame for the rioting which led to the massacre of more than 25 nonunion workers on the shoulders of the Williamson, county officials. Col. Hunter, who was sent to Her rin to report to the governor and Adjt. Gen. Black on the Situation, told the governor in today's message that he at no time thought the Wil liamson county authorities could handle the situation and that they should have asked for troops before the rioting started. Lewis Denies Responsibility. Cincinnati, June 23. (By A. P.) John L. Lewis in a statement here today declared "the United Mine Workers of America- is not to any degree responsible, for the unfor tunate occurrence at Herri,n. 111." He said the organization of which he is president never encouraged or con doned lawlessness. "Sinister influences," Mr. Lewis declared, had been at work among the miners "to incite and inflame the spirit of violence." Coal com panies, he asserted, had employed "thousands of detectives" to work among striking miners. Can't Explain It. Chicago, June 23. (By A. P.) W. J. Lester, president of the South ern Illinois Coal company, owners of the Herrin (III.) mine, where the massacre of nonunion workmen took place yesterday, declared here today he could not account for the outbreak at the mine and that his chief concern now was "to care for the families of the victims." Police Rescue Survivor. West Frankfort. HI., June 23. One of the strikebreakers who es caped the massacre at Herrin was located here early today when he en tered a pool room without hat or coat. A crowd gathered, but the local police took charge of him, spir ited him out of town for a few miles and told him to "beat it." Quite a crowd had gathered, but the prompt action of the authorities prevented a tense situation from . becoming dan gerous. The police said the man stated his name was Thompson and that he was from Peoria, 111. "Didn't See Need." Herrin, 111., June 23. (By A. P.) Sheriff Melvin Thaxton told the Associated Press that he did not ask for troops to quell the rioting here because he "did not see any need of it." - Surgeon Denies Human Glands Used for McCormick Chicago, June 23.

Mobilization of the 132d infantry of the Illinois national guard, ordered by Governor Small in a midnight message from Waukegan, to hold it self in readiness for duty in the southern Illinois mining region, be gan earJy to day at the old Second infantry armory on West Madison street. Governor Small's mobiliza tion order was relayed from Adjutant General Carlos E. Black at Spring field to Col. William fc.. swanson, commandant of the 132d infantry. who set in motion the machinery for assembling troops. Arms and equipment were distrib uted to the gathering guardsmen at the armory. The governor's order included a call tor mobilization of the machine gun companies of the 130th and 131st infantries. This placed machine gun companies under arms ready to ad vance on the scene of the mine mas sacres. The 132d infantry also has a howitzer company. At. the latter hour 500 men were equiflped and ready to move at a moment's notice. Althuough it was expected that the full force of 19 companies specified in the mobilization orders would be ready to move by noon, officers did not anticipate orders to entrain to day. No word from Governor Small or news from Herrin, 111., scene of th mine troubles, had been received to indicate that the mobilized militia men would be called to the mine Sale 6f Newspapers Is Halted in Herrin Herrin, 111.. June 23. (Bv A. P.) The Williamson countv mine war has produced a new type of boot legger the newspaper bootlegger. Local newsstands were informed that if they sold any out-of-town papers containing accounts of the fighting they would "be "treated roughly." The newsstands promptly closed up. Local papers published comparatively small accounts, and, in fact, nowhere in the country is less news ot the massacre published than right here, five miles from the scene of it. Needless to say, the prices have risen in accordance with the law of supply and demand and real boot leggers' figures are asked. The Weather Forecast. Saturday, fair and cooler. Highest Friday.

Past them filed an unending line of men and women, young and old, bare footed boys and girls. They lifted muslin cloths and peer ed at the pale faces and at the wounds left by pistol bullets, rifle balls and bucksot. - They lingered avidly, then reluct antly pressed on to some adjoining horror, eater to miss nothing. No Word of Pity. Clever a word of pity from the crowd. These were the men slain in a la bor war. These were the men who came to take away their jobs. Out siders enemies. Well, it served them right. That was the attitude of the town as ex pressed by its men and women and its children. Tears, none. Sympathy, not much. These were the enemy. The dead of half a dozen nationali ties with sloping foreheads of the Slav, high profiles of the native born, the long mustaches of eastern Eu- ' rope lay at peace for all the crowds, the laughter and the sullen looks. Bricks for Pillows. Bricks beneath their heads for pillows, pine boxes for their beds, they lay waiting the call of friends and relatives, who loved them once and have lost touch with them in the vicissitudes of transient tabor. Most of them, it is safe to say, will be forgotten in the potters field, their meager courses run, their stories finished. They came her; because they wanted a living. They died, hunted across the fields, stoned", shot at, tied and dragged down dusty country roads, because other thousands feared these men would take away their living. Interference Opposed. The trees are green in Herrin and the birds are singing and the crops ripening in the summer sun. Front the morgue the crowds drift to the billboards' in front of the picture show to see what the posters prom ise; to the drug store for soft drinks, then home for supper. Only the outsiders show surprise and horror. People here say "This is our business. .rry, but it's done. Let us alone. We'll han dle this all right.

"Bloody" Williamson county, so called because of many acts of vio lence in recent times, most of them accompanied by numerous fatalities today, was preparing for what offi cial action is expected in connection with the massacre at the Lester Strip mine when between 27 and 45 persons were slain after striking union miners had stormed the CO or more strike breakers operating the mine. Number of Dead. So far as the number of dead was concerned, there still was little but speculation. A score were in morgues; newspaper men previously had counted 26 bodies in the woods and roads; one man died in a hospi tal; Frank Farrington, state presi dent of the miners announced that his official reports showed 44 killed; (Turn to Page Two, Column Three.) Miners Post Epitaph for Dead in Barber Shop Omaha Bea Leated Wire. Herrin, 111., June 23. The follow, ing was posted by union miners in a barber shop here apparently as their epitaph for the dead in the recent massacre: "Twenty-five scabs are dead, nine are in hospitals and the mine is closed. The striking miners' prayer was answered." Zumwinkle Wages Activity for Anti-Picketing Measure Lincoln, June 23. (Special.) Ot to H. Zumwinkle, secretary of the States Manufacturers' association, at a meeting of the Kiwania club here, urged members of the club to cam paign in behalf of the anti-picketing bill, one of the laws passed by the legislature which has beei referred to a referendum at the November elec tion by the Nonpartisan league. "Remember," Zumwinkle said, "this does not deny to any one the right to express his views, but does deny the right to force his views on another. One great uncontrovertible answer to the so-called 'peaceful picketing' is that there is no such thing."
