Control Effective. Washington. Aug. 5. Federal prices for coal now are effective in 95 per cent of the producing fields, Sec retary Hoover said today. Western Kentucky operators, he added, have come into line and accepted the agreements "fixing a minimum of $150 a ton at the mine with adjust ments. Within a week or 10 days. Mr Hoover, declared, all the coal pro duced in the country will he flowing through the federal fuel distributor's office in Washington and price con trol will operate 100 per cent at the mines. When coal reaches the states, how ever, the secretary asserted, it will be up to the governors to prevent spec ulation by resale or profiteering by letailers. Peace in Sight. Chicago, Aug. 5. With a possible peace in sight in the coal strike fed eral and state officials today were withholding action calculated to bring about a speedy resumption of TOduction, but continued prepara tions for such a contingency -should he projected settlement plans fail. . The meeting Monday in Cleveland, "., of John L, Lewis, president of he United Mine Workers, and other i.nion chiefs with representatives of :oi operators in the central com petitive fields was looked upon as the final independent peace effort of the earring factions. It was believed generally that should the Cleveland conference fail President Harding t-.ould take some drastic actioai 'toward ending the tieup of mines.. Drastic Action Planned. , Washington, Aug. 5. Drastic ac tion by the government to force the ' production of coal and avert, if pos sible, the increasing menace of a coal tianrine this winter will be taken by President Harding next week, unless in the meantime there are promising ntiitations that a settlement of the :oal strike can be effected through an grecment between the mine workers ind the operators. At present there are no such in timations. The president, however, is willing to wait until after the con ference between the representatives of the mine workers and a few of the operators at Cleveland on Monday. If this produces no results which promise the resumption of coal min ing upon an extensive scale, the president has decided, the time will have come for the'intervention of the government in the interest of the general public. May Seize Min's. The president's plan, a., understood by some of his advisers, will be to take over a number of larger mines, place United States troops in posses sion of them and call upon miners, " regardless of whether they are union or nonunion men, to go to work for the government, with full assurance of adequate protection. That this course will be pursued :s now regarded as a certainty. It is no secret among the president's close friends and advisers that he has no hope that the Cleveland conference will advance the nation any closer to an adequate fuel supply than it is at present.

Senate Agreed on Vote on Tariff This Month Washington. A off. 5. An unani mous consent agreement which re publican and democratic leaden hope will bring about a final vote on the tariff bill, certainly before the end of the month, was entered into today by the senate. Fifteen minutes after a picture like this one was taken of little Harold Fchr, 5, only son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Fchr, 5117 Cuming street, yester day afternoon, he lay dead, his head crushed by wheel? of an automobile driven by his next door neighbor and man-playmate, Charles B. Avers, 5115 Cuming street. Hitched to the wagon shown in the picture was Harold's pet goat. Ayers had been playing with Harold, tossing him in the air and romp ing with him. He went to get his car. Harold chatted with a workman on the job at a new house near by, then ran off the curbing toward his home. He dashed between two parked automobiles and was knocked down by Ayers' car. The injured bojj was rushed to Methodist hospital, but died on the way. His father exonerates his neighbor and friend from any blame for the accident. Police booked Ayers for reckless driving. Harold finished the kindergarten class at Dundee school Iat June. He was the darling: of the neighborhood. Tlaymatc and pal of his comrades, Harold loved to have the lads don bathing suits and play in the water spray on the lawn of his home. He was' as much the pet of the Ayers household, next-door, as he was at home. The youngster adored animals and onlv 15 minutes before the arri- dent he had his picture taken as shown nis wagon. Funeral services probably will be at the Kountze Memorial church. Thousands Killed as Huge Typhoon Sweeps Swatow Dead Bodies Float Every- where in Harbor Wreckage I Nearly Every House in i City Damaged. Hongkong, Aug. 5. (By A. P.) Wednesday night's typhoon at Swa tow, 250 miles north of here, was the worst in the history of that city. Dead bodies are floating amid the wreckage everywhere in the harbor. Nearly every house in the city was damaged. A flood following the wind drove inhabitants from their homes. Telegraph lines between here and Swatow are down, but details of the disaster were brought here today by steamer. Storm Breaks. The storm broke at 10:30 o'clock Wednesday night and gathered force until daybreak, when it subsided, leaving death and destruction in the city and harbor. The death list is placed at 5,000. Hundreds of native craft along the water front were wrecked and their occupants drown ed, while practically every house ashore felt the effect of the terrific' wind. Several godowns. or warehouses, were badly damaged and their stocks of merchandise wholly or partially ruined. Trees were torn up by the roots, telegTaph poles were snapped off, roofs were carried away and en tire houses laid flat in the pathway of thestorm. Boats Picked Up by Wind. Native boats in the harbor were picked up as the wind and the water linked forces and were carried far in shore. Coasting steamers dragged their anchors, some of them over dis tances of two miles, and were pitched on land, damaged. The light houses at the ettrance of -the harbor, despite their solid foundations and sturdy construction, also show the effect of the typhoon. The water in the harbor rose rap idly until several feet deep in the shore-line warehouses, and as it con tinued upwards inhabitants of the houses left or retreated to their upper stories.

"Try and be the boy your mother thinks you are," were the words on cards worn by nearly 4.500 boys at tending a picnic given yesterday afternoon in Elmwood park bv Oma ha lodge No. 39 of Elks. Only one boy of the vast throng of young Americans fell short of maternal expectations. This lone youngster, in an unguarded moment, took from a smaller boy a mouth organ won in a race. He said he just wanted to see if the instrument would make a noise. It was a wonderful aggregation of youthful enthusiasm and was the largest outing of boys ever held in Omaha. Entertained by Taylor. Thekiddies assembled in the audi torium at noon and were entertained by Charles W. Taylor of the Pathe exchange with movies while street cars were arriving. They also were tagged at the City auditorium where C. E. Black and John H. Killian at tended to the sendoff. At the park they were received by members of the Elks, Boy Scouts and others who volunteered to guide the celebrants in the festivities. The first event at the park was a salute to the flag, led by Dr. M. J. Ford, chairman of the social and community welfare committee of the Elks, under whose auspices the pic nic arrangements had been made. The boys raised right hands and pledged loyalty to country and flag and to be good citizens. Hospital at Leisure. The hospital department didt not complain on account of overwork. One chap stubbed his big toe and another hurt his shin. Rev. E. V. Graham, pastor of Florence Presbyterian church, brought 40 boys and stood on the sidelines.. It was no place for girls.

William Howard Taft Goes Through City on Way West The book was "The Hound of the Baskervilles," by A. Conan Doyle, a blood-curdling detective yarn. The reader was William Howard Taft, chief justice of the United States supreme court. "Pretty good story, isn't it?" he asked, laying the volume aside when newspapermen entered his Pullman stateroom at noon yesterday while he was here a moment on his way to San Francisco to address the Ameri can Bar association. The former president declined to discuss politics, chatted about Omaha, and asked that his regards be pre sented to Maj. Gen. Francis Kernan, John R. Webster and Gould and C N. Dietz. New Bavarian Government. Berlin. Aug. ji. A Munich mes sage to the Deutsche Tages Et'itung announced the formation of a new government coalition in Bavaria, composed of the various Tightest par ties.

(Hy A. I)-The torm of violence between Italy's two extreme political elements fascisti and communis! which hat swept the country throughout the week, be tsan to show some signs of abate ment, leaving in its wake scores of killed and thousand of wounded. Reports from various part of the .country, however, indicated that both I tactions wore maintaining a defiant attitude and it is impossible to pre dict whether this apparent let-up in hostilities means only a temporary lull or whether there is ground for hoping for a real settlement of the difficulty. The abyss separating the extreme parties has undoubtedly been widened as a result of the short lived general strike proclaimed- early in the week throughout the country in protest against reprisals that had been carried out hy the fascisti acainst their communist adversaries. The situation thus created, it is be lieved, will make the government's efforts at pacification even more dif ficult. The government announced shortly after noon that order has been re stored in Milan, Genoa and Ancona, after desperate fighting had raged for more than 24 hours. But reports from other parts of the country showed that hostilities were far from over. Premier Facta's new cabinet addressed an appeal to the country. urging tile cessation ot jacrionai strife. .

Progress Made in Fighting Fires Rains and Cloudy Weather Improve Situation in North western States. Missoula. Mont., Aug. S. Forest fire conditions were more favorable for the fighting of forest fires in this district than for several days past, according to word received at district No. 1 headquarters here. There has been rain on some forests and the cool, cloudy weather is aiding the fire fighters. The Kootenai forest in northwest Montana is offering the greatest problem to the fighters now. This fire, on Star creek, is burning over 100 acres only, but is in an al most inaccessible country. Ten miles of trench built on the St. Joe forest reserve at the scene of the homestead fire, south of Avery, Idaho, has confined the fire there. The fighters here, however, have a high wind to combat and sparks are flying to the Fohl creek section, where there has been no rain. In the Blackfoot forest, rain has helped and the fire in the Glacier National park is now small and soon will be on a patrol basis.

M. Jewell, pretidint of (he railroad employe' department of the Ameri can Federation ol I.hr; W. 11. Johnston, president of the inachin mls, and J. I'. Knotun. head of the electrical worker' brotherhood, who left the White Houe after an hour ot conference with the chief execu tive, expecting to be recalled ou Monday. , It v. an not disclosed whether t!te president had communicated with railroad heads again, whose refuial this week to grant hit proposal to give returning, strikers seniority status terminated the first settlement attempt, but the strike leaders, in cheerful mood, said after the confer ence that the proposals, at originally outlined by the president, consti tuted their' "irreducible minimum in seeking honorable settlement." Brotherhood Heads Call. Likewise H. E. Wills, J. Paul Stephens and Arthur J. Lovell, rep resenting respectively the engineers, trainmen and enginemen and firemen, three of the four brotherhood organi zations, saw the president at the in stance of national chiefs of these orders and of the switchmen's union and presented the possibility that grave prospects of further rail un settlements were in sight unless the shop situation was straightened out. It was understood that while they did not set up a possibility of sympa thetic strikes hy their membership, they declared that the conditions of railroad equipment, locomotives par ticularly, on many roads was grow ing to be such that train crews might refuse service. No oublic statement of their report i was made, other than that contained j in the message from the brother hoods' union under which they actee ; in ooinir to the White House, anc nothing was given out officially. They made it plain, however, that they made no request of the president for a conference with the brotherhood chiefs. Meeting Postponed. The meeting between genera, chairmen of shop workers on the Southern railway and operating of ficials was postponed until Monday for the reason, sccording to union leaders, that all the representatives of the men had not arrived in Washington. The Southern has offered a sepa rate settlement on the basis of Presi dent Harding's proposals, without reservation. Mr. Jewell said that the question of whether the Southern shopmen would go back was "en tirely up 'to the men," that the gen eral policy . committee of the shop crafts federation had instructed gen eral chairmen to meet officials of sin gle railroads whenever such a meet ing was desired. Mr. Jewell and Mr. Johnston called upon Samuel Gompers at the American Federation of Labor after the White House visit and some of the 'representatives of shopmen on strike in eastern territory were called into Washington for the weekend to discuss the strike with the national officers. Mr. Gompers gave out a stat2ient which charged that "or ganized employing and financial in terests were rallying to the support of labor managements in order to make 6i the railroad strike a unified, union smashing campaign." See Impending Victory. New York, Aug. 5. Both sides -in the rail controversy claimed to see impending victory in the conference of national officials of the engineers, trainmen, enginemen and firemen's unions and B. M. Jewell, head of the shopcrafts, with federal executives al Washington. The eastern strike committee in terpreted the conference as proof that equipment of the railroad was be coming so unserviceable a to justify engineers, firemen and trainmen in protesting that the lives of crews and passengers were being endangered by its continued use. Rail chiefs, as represented by Rob ert Binkerd, vice 'chairman of the Association of Railway Executives, characterized the Washington session as "the workings of strike psychology. ana labor politics.
