The commission consists of five prominent citizens and has no legal standing or authority. Peoria.--That several hundreds, perhaps thousands, of gallons, of bonded whisky was stolen from the Corning distillery here by thieves working a syphon system through 250 feet of rubber hose is the belief of police and distillery officials investigating recent losses.

Springfield.--The volume of employment in the industries of Illinois improved slightly during August, according to signed reports received by the general advisory board of the Illinois Department of Labor from 1,282 employers of the state. Despite the depressing effects of railroad strikes, the shortage and high price of fuel, hot leather, and vacations, there was an i actual gain in the number of workers employed amounting to one per cent. I* the manufacturing industries, the gain in employment for 1,048 employers employing one-third of all wage earners in manufacturing industries was 1.6 per cent, and this change gave jobs to 3,448 more workers than fouftd JPMployment in July. Springfield.--The number of hogs on Illinois farms for fattening Is estimated to be 12 per cent greater than last year. The state wool crop is estimated to be 2 par cent less than was dipped in 1921.

Hoffman of Cook county 25 persons have been killed thi* month by automobiles, and If the present rate continues. September will show a greater toll of death by automobiles than last month, when 79 persons died, the' hfrgest number for any month in the history of tne county. Streator.--A consignment of 2,000,- 000 small fry, from the state fish hatchery in Lake county, has been, placed in the Vermillion river. This distribution should greatly improve hook and llnfe fishing at Streator during the next few years. Due to the activities of seiners and dynamiters, the pastime has been greatly damaged of late years.

The report shows that all farm work is well advanced except plowing, which is backward due to the unfavorable dry soil conditions. The Illinois corn crop sbowed a slump of slightly more than 4,000,000 bushels during August due to the prolonged drought with scat* tered days of excessive heat. Rock Island.--Many candidates are out for the position of commander of the American Legion, department -of Illinois, to succeed W. R. McCauley, who declines to accept renominatlon at the annual convention in Rock Island on September 25 and 26. There are now 742 posts In this state and all will be represented at the meeting by one or more members.

Schroeder, representing Governor Small, stated be would file pleadings, and indicated there would be five demurrers covering various allegations of 4fee bill. DDpimIT KI Mt PMtlfl wmI l^pWBtji.^ -s BACKS WAR MOTE Leading Opinion United Behind ^termination to Stop ^ Turk March. ^ ATTACK BRINGS WAR REARER Big Guns Guard Straits--French wi * Italians Are Speeding to Assistance of Their Ally--Lloyd ...n-M George Takes Lead. tMftdon, Sept 10--Leading British opinion, clarified following the allied ultimatum to Mustapha Kemal. stands united behind the determination to prevent the Turks entering Europe even to the extent of using force. Despite the dissatisfaction in certain sections of French opinion and the semi-official refusal of Italy to aprticlpate in any military operations which may be conducted on European soil In consequence of peresnt conipli-; cations, Britain is determined to keep the straits open, even if she has to go it alone. Already the First North Staffordshires, stationed at Gibraltar, have been ordered to Constantinople with all speed and other units are following in quick succession. At the same time units of the British fleet are steaming eastward bound to the same destination. Reports received In London from Athens indicate that English citizens liave been killed in the sack of Smyrna, which will undoubtedly result in the British government demanding^ satisfaction immediately. Refugees# arriving at the Greek capital bring fresh tales of the horrors In thte doomed city. The Greek metropolitan of Ephesus, one of the last Greeks to leave, declared: "The number of persons massacred up to Friday evening is estimated at 130,000. Smyrna is a veritable slaughter house." An American steamer arrived at Athens Saturday with 2,000 Greeks and Armenians aboard, bringing fresh details of the tragedy. The captain of the ship stated: "The scenes at Smyrna are beyond the limits of Imagination. Fire and death extend In all directions. Innumerable bodies of men and women and children are lying abandoned in the streets. "The whole city and its sorronndings are In ruins and pillage and looting are going on wholesale." Australia has closely followed Nen Zealand in promising Downing street active co-operation "In whatever action is necessary to insure the sanctity of Galllpoli," and offering a contingent of forces. The attack of the forces of Mustapha Kemal Pasha oil allied marines, who attempted to land at Smyrna Saturday, caused the war clouds that hang over Europe to beconqe blacker, and Britain's answer to this challenge from the leader of the victorious nationalist Turkish army will be the dispatch of additional large contingents of troops and another fleet of warships of all classes to the Bosporus. Premier Lloyd George has been In touch with the war office and admiralty, directing preparations to meet the grave eventualities foreshadowed by the triumph of the Turks, the massacres at Smyrna and the debacle of the Greek army. Australia, New Zealand and Canada, according to Britain's officialdom, have answered the appeal to the selfgoverning domains for aid. The British Veterans' organisations throughout the United Kingdom are announcing their willingness to respond to another call to arms if it comes. All strategic points in the Dardanelles are covered by the heavy artillery of the British forces landed there and by the guns of French and British warships. Italian an^French troops are being rushed toward the theater of Impending war tb reinforce the British. MRS. WARREN 1 HAROMQ This Is the favorite portrait of Mrs. Warren G. Harding, wife of the President, whose serious illness has caused anxiety throughout the nation. Her recovery now seems assured. SHOPMEN WORK AGAIN 27,000 Back 'in St Paul and ^ Northwestern Men Return Under Class of Whieh They Were Members en • v ^ Chicago, Sfeptf 18.--&' th#€*toikgo A Northwestern and the St. Paul railways opened their shops to striking craftsmen the shopmen's executive council launched -a campaign to win over "bitter enders" among the carriers. # Under the leadership of B. M. Jewell, national president, the shopmen'# council will devote all Its energies to-' ward ending the strike on those roads which have announced a determination not to compromise--notably, the Pennsylvania, Burlington, Rock Island and Alton. Under agreement perfected Thuraday on the terms approved, by the strikers the Chicago & Northwestern and the Chicago, jlilwaukee St. Paul began putting shopmen back to work In their plants here and elsewhere. The Northwestern employs 12,000 and the St. Paul about 16,000 shop workers. . Approximately 80 other railroads are said to have accepted the peace proposals, although unions and companies continue to keep secret the exact line-up. Reports that no shopmen will be sent back to work until every railroad In the country has signed the peace agreement were denied by Mr. Jewell. "No obstacles are to be put In the way of partial readjustment," said Mr. Jewell. "As fast as railroads sign the peace agreement their shopmen will be ordered back to work. Such a message as the one quoted by Rausch might have been sent out before the settlement, but It doesn't apply now." According to the terms of the peace agreement all men on strike are to go back to work In the jobs they held on Jane 30, and are to be put to work at the same points at which they were employed at that time. The seniority issue, by such specific name. Is Ignored in the peace agreement. Questions Involving such matters, however, will be referred to a commission provided for In the agreement. ASKS U. S.

Washington, Sept. 18.--Congress completed Its part toward carrying out, the nation s obligation to its soldiers of the World war when the senate adopted tbe conference report on the Fordney-McCumj?er bonus £111. Tbe vote was 30 to 17. The eye&vOf the veterans and tbe sponsors of the legislation now are turned to the .White House, where President Harding's intention with regard to signing or vetoing it apparently is his own secret. The opponents of the measure assert the President is determined to veto the bill because it carries no financing provision. its adherents are equally certain tbe President will sign it. Should the President, who ' has Insisted upon a sales tax to pay the cost of the bfll, send It back with his disapproval, the bitterest fight which has marked Its long and hard legislative journey will follow In the senate, opposition in the upper branch frankly bas rested its entire hope on a Presidential veto and from the beginning has sought to marshal sufficient votes to sustain the President.

The >«, ' air was so impure that new air hose to clear the atmosphere was sent down for the rescue workers. ^14 j It was 4:40 o'clock when Hecox's ff rescue crew slgnuled from the 4,35<»- - ^ foot level that they were ail rlglit * , aDd asked for the reserve crew to ^ Join them. Conditions on both levels * -i were reported as normal. w/'C " " And then--at 5 p. in.--'Came the y • ~ 'f Word that Plckard had established « !?• fresh-air base with the mine rescue crew on the 4,200-foot level. Fry's men manned this base. fp Twelve minutes later a member of : ik the mine rescue crews, Robert Hecox." : arrived at the surface with the word ! that his company had encountered a . * strange, newly-built bulkhead blocking " a cross-cut on the 4,350-foot drift* Behind it--they knew that instantly-- were the entombed men. Promptly the rescue crew, had burst through the bulkhead "with willing. blows. What lay behind it--waning ! . life or fearful death? The ax blows smashed through the flimsy wood; all that followed w»s a creeping stench . of foul air. * 1 v Clearly this was not the final crypt. The lads proceeded further. But that the main trail had been found was.* ~ very evident. , Tbe smashed bulkhead had been • hastily built end plugged by the men with caulking made from their clothing. , It was just what the skilled miners had said they would do--just what Ernest Miller and Ell Pavlowltch. leaders, had said they would do in the event of fire. The men who came up who have; . been working on ' the rescue crew despite their oxygen masks were so overcome that they had to be dragged. out of the skips. Word was brought to the surface that the men were found just exactly, as Ernest Miller, who was caught in the fire of 1919, said he would do t<> , save the lives of himself and fellowfr • if "he ever was trapped in a mine* again. Miners believe that the 22 men . whose bodies had been found werethe leaders of the trapped men anrt. , that the others who failed to follow - will be found In the vicinity of the^ V Mnldoon shaft where they sought es- ; , cape but were gassed., j : Whether the 22 died from being over-* come by noxious fumes caused by the £ fire or died as the result of starvation ^ has not been determined. The latter J theory Is favored, dne to the fact that. they were behind strong bulk-* ^ f heads. The fact that the men had torn off S 7 their clothing as a caulk or padding^ , to the first bulkhead argued that they ' had had ample time in which to ' act.
