PRESIDENT MORE ACTIVE BUT NOT YET OUT OF BED Able to Formulate Message to Secretary Lane for Transmis sion to Labor Conference Washington, Oct. 21. While pres ident Wilson was able today' to formulate a message to Secretary Lane, for transmission to the na tional industrial conference, novef fort was made, either by Read Ad miral Grayson, his physician, or by White House officials, to create the impression Jthat the action was in dicative of a decided improvement in the president's condition. Writing of the message, however, was pointed to by members of the White House staff as further refut ing reports that Mr. Wilson was unable to transact any necessary business that might require his at tention as chief executive. The sit uation confronting the national in dustrial conference, or which may face it at any time through danger of its dissolution, was considered as constituting such a necessity. While the president, it . was said at the White House, was no worse today, his condition did not show any decided change for the better, as might be inferred from his in creasing activity in governmental af fairs. Dr. Grayson made it plain he does not propose to let the incident of the message serve as precedent for lowering the bars to all who may have affairs of state to bring before the patient The gradual improve ment in the president's condition has been noted, but it was again em phasized the daily change is so slight as to be almost imperceptible and is to fce measured at first more by the absence of complications than by signs of returning strength. LINCOLN'S TOMB INSPIRES BRAVE KING OF BELGIANS Albert Places Simple Wreath Upon; Sarcophagus as Dusk u.'.. Falls in Springfield,; III. Springfield, III; Octv 2l.-i-Albert of the Belgians placed a simple wreath upon the . sarcophagus of Lincoln a& dusk was falling here Tuesday. -Profoundly reverent and deeply moved, the gallant leader of a brave people sought within the twilight of the tomb new strength to face the trials of the future. His bronze face grave and his lips sternly . set the first king of Europe to seek lessons in America uncovered as he stepped within the shadow of the . tomb . bearing his wreath of white chrysanthemums. He bowed three times and crossed himself as he stepped over the threshold and laid the flowers upon the marble slab. The king stood motionless, his head bowed and his lips moved as though in silent prayer. Queen Reverent Also. No less reverent, Queen Elizabeth, bearing herself with the dignity be fitting the consort of a monarch as well as a gentleman, followed her husband. Behind her walked the prince. Even the lad of 18 appear ed to feel the solemnity of the mo ment The stay within the tomb was brief, the three , royal' Belgians bowed deeply before the ashes of the immortal American as they stepped backward into the open air, their eyes upon the sarcophagus. Without Preliminaries. Without preliminaries, standing in the. shadow of the great granite monument, the king paid tribute to the president. No less than Lin coln he kuew all the horrors of war, but from the spirit of the homely son of Illinois he asked guidance in the future. : "We who are here today, coming from a far distant country, can never forget what President Lincoln has done," he said, "and may we find in his noble example the strength and firmness which make a ruler worthy, to be dedicated in his country to that always unfinished work of prog ress, welfare and ideals which this great man has so nobly advanced."

PUBLIC GROUP JOINS HANDS WITH CAPITAL - In Adjourning Session Secre tary Lane Says Conference Has Produced Nothing and Advises Several Days Rest. Washington, Oct. 21. After a day of uncertainty, during which Presi dent Wilson sent to Secretary Lane, chairman, a message of conciliation to be used as a "last resort," the national industrial conference to night cleaned its slate by rejecting all collective bargaining resolutions as well as the labor proposal for intervention in the steel strike. The public group aligned with capital on the vote against both the original collective bargaining and steel-strike resolutions, although the declaration on collective bargaining was proposed by the public 'dele pates. Prior to the vote on the original declaration the employers' substitute and two new,amendments by Thomas L. Chadbourne, chair man o? the conference's central committee, . met defeat. Only the employers favored the substitute, and labor, and capital united in the opposition to the amendments. Makes No Headway. When the conference reconvenes tomorrow it will be in, practically, the same position as at the opening on October 6. In adjourning the session tonight. Secretary Lane der clared that the conference had pro duced nothing and advised; it to take; a new start by adjourning fo'r several days while a co-ordinating committee of not more than six members framed a program of acr tion. Defeated in every point, and hav ing lost the support of the public group; which heretofore has been on the side of the workers, the la bor delegates left the conference hall disheartened and feeling, as some of them . said, that little could be gained by further meetings. However, a meeting of the group has been called for tomorrow morn ing and individual members will be bound by action taken at that time. ' Should labor show a disposition to bolt the conference Chairman Lane undoubtedly will use the pres ident's letter in an effort to avert the crisis. Reading of the letter was said to be entirely discretionary with the chairman, who declared" that he would not produce it unless the situation became acute. Al though labor may force the disclo sure of its contents, ft was generally predicted tonight that the workers would not withdraw. The presi dent's message, it Was understood, (Continued on Pag-A.Two, Column Two.) Bay State Governor -Praises Omaha Boy's Conduct During Riot Northampton, Mass., Oct. 21. (Special Telegram.) In an address given before , the Hampton county organization of the Boy Scouts of America during their annual field day exercises , here Tuesday, Gov. Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, a resident of this city, paid special tribute to a Boy Scout of Omaha in the following words: "During all the time the mob was at its work in the recent disgraceful riot at Omaha a Boy Scout, aged 12, stood at a prominent street in tersection and directed traffic. He stayed on the job all night and well into the morning when nearly every one else in the city was senselessly giving vent to passion. "While common citizens and of ficials alike were utterly forgetful of duty this lad took up a task that no one had assigned io him merely that he might contribute what he could to the maintenance of order in a topsy-turvy situation. It was no passing whim the boy had for a moment or two and then laid aside because of difficulties. He was no quitter. All night and well intothe morning, the report says, he stuck to this post' There was pluck and endurance in full measure.' ' "Omaha had one citizen to be proud of that night,' a very young citizen -who had within him. the stoutness of heart to stand and di rect the surging mob instead of be ing swept along with it to aid in its shameful work. . The hope of Amer ica is in the boys of that quality." The boy to whom Governor Coo lidge referred is Verne Joseph, 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Joseph, 3319 Grand avenue, to whom was given a money prize by Frank Brighton, editor of a New Rochelle. N.. Y, newspaper. j : ' ' . . .. : 1 ' 1 -! I I1II !! 111 !

Washington, Oct 2,1. Failure of operators and miners to settle their difference after a four-hour confer ence today ' with Secretary of La bor Wilson, may force the govern ment to step in and prevent the strike of 500,000 bituminous cqal miners carted for November 1. Although another effort will be made tomorrow to bring peace to the industry the strike tonight loomed big and close at hand and leaders of the two sides, speaking frankly and gravely, said there was little hope. While the full scale committees representing miners and operators were fighting their battles today be hind a closed door, a strike storm raged in the senate .and federal agencies looked up the .law, firmly convinced it would have to be in voked to save the country from un told distress and suffering, with mines shut down and less than - a month's stock on hand to keep fires burning. y -Go Separate Ways.' Filing out of the' meeting place, the miners arid operators, nearly 100 of them, went their separate ways to' discuss the crisis, the former led by James L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America and the latter by Thomas T. Brews ter, head of the Coal Operators as sociation. Leaders and members of both groups are very reticent Both Brewster and Lewis refused to dis cuss the situation beyond saying there had been no 'change in the attitude of either group. Informed of the attack on the unions in the senate by Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey and reports from many quarters that the government might intervene, strike leaders said there was a bare chance of some encouraging development tomorrow, but that the strike order would stand. - , , ' Prominent Oil Operator. -Killed in Auto Accident Tulsa, Okl.,t Oct 21.

HITCHCOCK FAVORS ' FALLING INTO LINE Program Presented for Ap- proval Understood to Em brace Nine Conditions From Many Sources. ,i Washington, Oct. 21. The ques tion of accepting peace treaty res ervations without further opposition was earnestly considered by demo- v cratic senate leaders today under the pressure of developments poi";ing TO" an earlv showdown in the ratifi cation fight. , " The treaty opposition forces, an nouncing at last a complete agree ment en a reservation program by the senate majority, brought the. situation to an unexpected issue by servintr notice that their proposal would go before the foreign rela- tions committee tomorrow, when the administration leaders would be asked to go on record definitely as accepting or rejecting it Ultimatum Equivalent , ' Described by the majority spokes men as n the nature of an ultima tum, the announcement was fol lowed by a conference on the ad ministration side which lasted all day but resulted in no final decis ion Sen? tors present said that while some of the leaders stood out, ' determiitdly against any compro- . mise, there was an apparent dispo sition oil th6 part of Senator Hitch cock ana others to consider serious- . ly the practicability of such a step. The "eservation program as it is to be presented to the committee for approval was not made public, but it was understood to embrace nine reservations, .evolved from sug gestions gathered fr-om many sources. Subjects Covered. i The subjects said to be covered were tin- following: - H The right of this country to judge whether its obligations had been fulfilled in case of withdrawal from the league, of nations, the unim- paired power of congress to decide questions of peace or war under Article y); domestic decision of all domestic ouestions; preservation un affected of the Monroe doctrine; re fusal to be a party to the Shantung settlemnt; equalization of voting' power inthe league; congressional selection of American representa tives in the league; limitation of the powers of such representatives and those on international commissions, and nullification of the right of the international labor conference to challenge the eligibility of American repres-utatjves in international la bor bodies. ; . . One disturbing element in this program for the administration lead ers was the fact that they had heard the .article 10 reservation followed closely the language of one pre sented in the senate duing the day by Senator McCumber, republican, North Dakota which in turn was almost the exact language which President 'Wilson announced in his Cheyenne Wyo. address would be regarded by him !s a rejection of the treaty." Republicans Back It Behind the majority's proposals, it is declared by their sponsors, will -stand all of the 49 republicans and at least six democrats leaving as a maximum 41 democrats opposing them.
