Leadership
of French
Is Rejected
Premier Baldwin's Speech
Proposes Great Britain
, Take Lead in Repara
tions Tangle.
Neutrals Aid Is Sought
By MARK SU.MVAN.
Paris, July 13.—Premier Baldwin's
speech in the house of commons
amounted to proposing leadership on
the part of Britain in the relations
of the allies with Germany, leadership
which France may follow or refuse
to follow, just as Britain refused to
follow France’s lead, when the latter
entered the Ruhr last January.
Premier Baldwin's explanation of
the causes which have led up to this
departure, as well as such proposals
for the future as ho may make, have
^^•roe hope that the new British course
may so commend itself as to draw
endorsement, If not from France,
then from the allies other than
France, namely Italy and Belgium,
and also from neutrals like the United
States, and lead to a definite early
settlement of the whole reparation
problem.
France Takes I,ead.
It is to be remembered that France
has twice In the last six months gone
off on its own lead with a brusque
ness contracting strongly with the
spirit of patient conciliation Britain
is now trying to ahow the world.
France took the lead most cavalierly
when it entered the Ruhr on only
4S hours' notice, and again when it
sent a separate reply to the first Ger
man note, without even consulting
Britain.
When the last German note came,
France not onjy Insisted on keeping
the lead, but actually demanded that
Britain endorse and follow its lead,
joining with France in exacting the
condition that Germany must with
draw passive resistance before any
answer whatever should be sent to
them.
Britain Quits leader.
That is tha phase ended hy Pre
mier Baldwin's speech. Britain has
earnestly searched for every possi
bility of avoiding a divergence. It
could not join with France In a pub
lic demand for cessation of passive
| resistance as a preliminary condition,
k^^ffanding alone, because it would have
been in effect an endorsement and
joining with France in Its policy of
occupying the Ruhr and would have
committed Rritain to following that
course to the end—through a scries
of developments impossible to see,
and likely to be dangerous.
This Britain could not do. because
its position is that the occupation of
the Ruhr Is illegal. Britain took this
position at the beginning, and with
the passage of six months become
not only confirmed in its judgment
that France's occupation is illegal, hut
came to believe that it has also been
proved ineffective and is increasingly
« menace to the peace and stability
of the world.
I'nderstanding Is Sought.
In this situation, what Britain
sought to do was to come to an un
derstanding in advance with France
on a definite program of common ac
tion by the two countries, covering
every step up to final settlement of
reparations. If this preliminary un
derstanding could have been brought
about, it whs Britain's purpose then
to give informal counsel to Germany
to cease passive resistance, upon the
asaurance that this would be followed,
step by step, with a program agreed
upon between itself and France.
But Premier Poincare would not
come to an understanding with
Britain on such a program. Poincare
refused to define clearly what he un
derstood hy “passive resistance." He
d not define what he means by
•reparation." The cause of this re
fusal Is the fear and suspicion on
the part of France that Britain might
take advantage of It in working
out the program and deprive it, not
only of what France regards as a
fair share of reparations, hut also of

Contem'I'i
Carl C. Magee of Albuquerque
Sentenced to 360 Days in
Jail and Fined Total
' of $4,050.
New Citation Is Served
I .us Vegas, X. M„ July 13.—Carl C.
Magee, Albuquerque editor, was found
guilty of contempt on seven counts in
Judge D. J. Leahy's court here today.
Four citations had been issued, di
recting Magee to show cause why he
should not be adjudged guilty of con
tempt, one of them containing three
counts, one of them two counts and
the others one count each. Magee
was sentenced to 90 days In Jail on
each of the four citations, a total of
360 days, and -ordered to pay a fine
of $1 on each count, a total of $7.
The Magee Publishing company,
owned by Magee, and publisher of
the Albuquerque Tribune, In which
Magee s alleged contemptuous editor
ials appeared, was fined $1,000 on
three of the four counts and $1,050
on another a total of $4,050. The
publishing company was made co
defendant with Magee In the contempt
proceedings.
New Citation Served.
X'o sooner had court convened for
the afternoon session than Magee
was served with another contempt
citation, based upon an editorial in
his paper of July 8, In which he re
ferred to his experience# In court
and to which state's attorneys took
exception. The citation is returnable
July 21.
During the noon recess attorneys
for the defense saw an article in the
Albuquerque Herald, , said to have
been written by H. B. Hening, who
is here covering the Magee trial, and
which attorneys for Magee held to be
contemptuous. The article referred
to testimony given by Magee on the
stand. In which Magee was quoted
as having said that District Judge
Heed Hoolman of Santa Fe and H. P.
Owen of Los Lunas were corrupt.
This, it was pointed out, was incor
rect, as Magee had not charged the
Judges with being corrupt, but had
said that "they should be investigat
ed." Judge Leahy was asked to cause
Hening be cited for contempt. He
directed the district attorney to in
vestigate and report.
Magee was given five days In which

Song4lowa Is
Hit in Alaska
Introduced l»y Harding's Party
Band Although It Lacked
the Music.
Ketchikan, Alaska. July 8.—(By
Mail to the Associated Press.)—The
song "Iowa,’’ most popular of any
piece of music played at the recent
Shrine convention In Washington. D.
C'.. has been Introduced by President
Harding's party in almost every state
traversed since it left Washington and
today was carried Into this Alaskan
city for the first time by some of
the singing members of the presiden
tial group. It was applauded by the
people of Ketchikan, who heard It and
probably it will be passed along the
Alaskan trails to the far north.
On the evening of the first day
aboard the naval transport Hender
son, en route from Tacoma, Wash., to
Alaska, the I'nited States navy band,
temporarily stntloned on the Hender
son, was requested to play “Iowa."
The bandmaster was unable to com
ply. lie had not the music nor hail
he heard the Song, and there was
gloom aplenty for the time being. But
h» was not long unprepared. At the
concert on tha following morning,
the thirty musicians had the music
before them and have not failed to
play the a1'- »t snv succeeding eon
cert.
This was how the music was writ
ten ami the orchestration of it made
possible. Bandmaster Charles Ilenter
heard bursts of the song ringing from
one of the cabins that night. His at
tention was caught by the word
“Iowa.1' Soon he had soma of his im
provisors about him and all were lis
tening outside the door. Below
ilerks they went and hegnn playing,
putting what they had heard of tha
song Into notes of their various In
struments, When the other mu
sicians appeared In the morning, each
was hnmleil his part of the song and
the request of the evening before was
automatically discharged. I.ltlla de
tails like playing the chorus again
and again with a total absence of
verses—In the some manner as the
musicians hud heard tho cabin sere
tinder- nmile no difference In the ap
plause that President Harding s party
thundered out when the band eon
eluded Its first playing of "Iowa."

—
Nurses Find 13*Months-01d
Tot Suffering from Poor
Nourishment.
Baby Jones is 15 months old He
has three older brothers and one sis
ter. His mother Is away most of the
day. working in the homes of wealthy
people. Sister Is !) years old; she
helps as much as she ran around the
house, though.
Sister would do anything for Baby
Jones, but she also has to keep watch
of her other brothers. And the scanty
earnings of the mother scarcely buy
enough food for the little family. In
the winter Baby Jones might have
kept well, even under these circum
stances. But during the past few hot
weeks he became fretful and began to
waste away. He didn't receive pure,
sweet milk at regular intervals, be
cause there wasn't money enough to
buy Ice to keep it pure and sweet.
The Visiting Nurse association
found Baby Jones In a serious condi
tion. But they purchased milk and
Ice for him. and he is Improving rap
Idly. The Free Milk and Ice fund
pays for the milk and Ice to keep
Baby Jones alive, and for milk and
Ice for dozens of other babies whose
condition Is Just as serious. If you
haven't subscribed to the fund yet
you should, for your own peace of
mind as well as for the sake of the
babies.

Dry Forces in
Congress Uneasy
About Outlook
—
Men in Line for Chairmen
of Senate and House Com
mittees Regarded
as Wets.
By Press
Washington, July 13.—The dry
forces in congress, who for several
years have exercised undisputed con
trol over the legislative machinery
handling prohibition bills in both sen
ate and house, are looking forward
with some concern to the situation
which seems likely to confront them
when the next session meets In De
cember.
By a combination of circumstances
the men now in line for chairmen of
the senate and house judiciary com
mittees, which have charge of pro
hibition measures, are Senator Bran
degee of Connecticut and Representa
tive Graham of Pennsylvania, both
of whom voted against the 18tb
amendment and since have steadfast
ly refused to be counted among the
drys. Senator Brandegree has be
come the ranking member of his
committee through the successive
deaths of Senator Nelson of Minne
sota and Dillingham of Vermont,
w hile Mr. Graham Inherited the rank
ing position in the house committee
through the defeat of the chairman,
R< presentatlve Volstead, in last year s
primary in Minnesota.
,-voi only uia renaior nranargee
eppose the prohibition amendment,
but he also voted against both the
Volstead act and the anti-beer bill.
He took the position that such legis
lation was unconstitutional and the
drys concede that with a Judiciary
chairman holding that view the path
way of any additional prohibition
legislation to be urged at the coming
session may be somewhat difficult.
Representative Graham, after voting
against the constitutional amendment,
answered "present” to his name on
the roll call which passed the Vol
stead act and aJao was recorded as
“not voting” on the anti-beer bill.
Already some of the dry leaders
are framing an extensive program
of legislation for the next congress,
including a measure to prohibit
American ships from carrying liquor
on the high seas, a right which they
have under the recent supreme court
decision by which shipping board vcs
eels are forbidden to exercise by
order of President Harding. There
also is a move to make other changes
tn the ship liquor provisions as well
as others sections of the law.

Senator Dillingham Die?.
(By A»«tMi«tf<t I’rftMi.l
Montpelier, Vt , July 13—United
States Senator William P. Pilling
ham of Vermont died here late last
night
Senator Dillingham was born In De
cember. 1 s4S. and was a son of Paul
Dillingham, who was governor of
Vermont from ISttJ to lsST. He was
governor of Vermont from 1SSS to
1S90 and was first elected United
States senator In 1900. In 1907 he
was chairman of th« United States
immigration commission.
With the business section ol Burke
completely gone and a large portion
of the residence section burning, fire
fighting efforts centered at 4:30 a
short distance up the canyon from
Burke where the large hotel of the
Hercules Mining company, together
with the miners' recreation center,
was threatened.
All miners of the rich lead silver
mines of the district, estimated at
several thousand, have turned to
fighting the fire.
Built along the bottom of a narrow
canyon east from Wallace, the center
of the Coeur d'Alene lead-silver min
ing district, Burke and Mac© were
little more than collections of frame
store buildings and miners' boarding
houses built around the big wooden
structures which boused the work
ings.
Surrounded by Hills.
The tracks of the branch line of
railroad run up the center of the
canyon, crossing and recrossing the
little stream which carries away th*
water from the ore plants. The pr.:
cipal business buddings of the twc
towns fronted along the railroad
tracks. On either side the hills, with
their covering of timber scarred b>
forest fires and by snowslides. which
have more than once literally buried
the two towns, rise at a sharp angle
It was reported that all the exterioi
workings of the Hecla mine, one of
the largest lead silver mines of the
world, have gone. The machine shop
was blasted. The other workings
burned. The Bunker Hill-Sullivan.
said to be the largest lead-silver mine
in the world, and the Hercules. of
comparable importance, are in the dis
trict. They were protected by divi
sions of the canyon, however, and
were not immediately threatened.
School Children Flee,
A report was at first Circulated that
the miners of the Hecla mine had been
trapped by the burning of the exterior
working* It was later asserted that
all had been removed in safety.
Two hundred school children took
refuge in the Catholic church at Mace
when the wind first swept the flames
through the town. When blasting
failed to stop the fast spread of the
fire the children were forced to flee
the church as it started to burn above
their heads. The children were under
the care of a priest who maintained
discipline. None was hurt.
Two theories are ad'"a need as to the
cause of the fire: one is that a spark
from a passing locomotive fired a
building near the tracks and the other
attributes it to an overheated chim
ney. •
