Washington, iuly 13.--Although the
Arthrr cite operators have submitted
what President Harding is said to
r-g td as at'completetacceptance of the
goverinment's offer to arbitration' in
t, .e coal strike, the situation with re-
tc i the bituminous operators and

Declarmig the intents^n is to de-
lay or evade zw intmediate response,,
high officials see in the course pus-
sued a disposition to reject the gov-
ernment's settlement plan if, public:
opinion would approve such a course.
The anthracite operators attached
'two conditions to their acceptance
of arbitration yesterday, one that a
separate commission examine wage
scales in that industry and the oth-
er that the commission be required
to submit a decision by Aug. 10, agree-
ing in the meantime to pay the wage
rate of 'March 31 as suggested in the
President's proposal. They asked that
the proposed separate commission be
required to set up a permanent meth-
ed by which wages and working con-
ditions would be adjusted "automatic-
ally" in the future and proposed toy
assure a non-partisan 'adjudication,
that the commission be composed of
one miner, one operator and three
representatives of the public.
Object to J roposal
The bituminous (operators' objec-
tions were said to attack the Presi-
dent's proposal to put the men back
at wage scales of 1920-22, when non-
union mines, with 200,000 employes,'
had been steadily working all through
1921 at wages practically identical
with those of 1917. This not only will
force disturbances of operation in
non-union territory, in the view of the
operators, but will leave them with
high cost coal to sell in competition
with lower cost non-union coal.

proximity to the Clements' libraryI
would endanger that building. The
location of the class rooms that must
replace those to be destroyed has not
been learned. The finished roof will
be put on the new library as soon as
the cinder fill is set and dry.
Steel beams are now being placed'
in. the second story of the Dental
building and it is expected that by
fall it will be ready for use. Desks,
cabinets and as much of the equip-
inent as possible is being made in the
building and grounds shops.
A contract has been given the H. G.

MOTOR TRANSPORT MEN
WANT IUR150ICTION OF
UTILITIES COMMISSION
(By Associated Press)
Detrojt, July 13.-The motor truck
transport business in Michigan, cred-
ited with an increase of about 100
per cent within the last 12 months, is
to make its influence felt at the next
session of the state legislature, when
an effort will be made to obtain leg-
islation more favorable to the trade;
it is announced by F. L. Henk of
Detroit, secretary of the National
Team and Motor Truck Owners' as-
sociation.
According to Mr. Henk, Michigan
now is a network of motor truck
routes that extend between the chief
"If the religion of the moral com-
mends itself to the adult thinking
mind, then the religion of the proph-
ets can lay the claim to becoming the
religion of the future," summarized
Dr. H. Slonimsky yesterday in the
last of a series of three lectures he
has been giving on the Prophetic Re-
ligion before students attending the
Summer session. His topic was "The
Permanent Significance of the' Mes-
sianic Ideal."
The speaker went on to say that
two ideas will force the moral person
to religious assumptions: the idea of
conservation 'of values, the feeling
that this great value of the mind must
not die, that is, must go on, and see-
ondly that of peace, the prophetic
thought that history is distinctly
fraught with a purpose, with a goal,
which goal is that the people shall
beat their swords into plowshares.
In tracing the philosophical basis of
religion, Dr. Slonimsky pointed out
that there is no distinct emotion of
religion, but that emotions can be-
come religious if they are strong
enough.
Chance actions, he said, force humans
to deep religious thought, as do also
disappointments and the very nature
of things. He declared, the average
person does need this chance to bring
him to thoughts about religion. "But
the deeper spiritual nature will not
wait for the accidents of life," he
continued. "He will see that the ac-
SUMMER STUDENTS
TO EXPLORE FALLS
Making the longest trip of all the
excursions, Summer session students
will leave at 2:05 o'clock today for
Niagara Falls. The trip is in charge
of Prof. I. D. Scott of the geology de-
partment, who has visited the Falls
more than 10 times and has made the
most minute study of the geological
history of the region. The tourists
will not only be able to visit the
points of scenic interest, under the
supervision of one most familiar with
the ground, but they will also be in-
structed in the scientific phases of the
great waterfall and the Gorge.
Arriving at Niagara Saturday, the
party will spend the afternoon tour-
ing the Great Gorge. On Sunday the
excursionists will explore Goat Is-
land and the Cve of the Winds. On
the decks of the "Maid of the Mist"
the party will experience the thrill
of almost touching the foot of the
American Falls.
The Niagara Falls excursion party
will leave at 2:05 o'clock this after-
noon on a special Detroit, Jackson and
Chicago car which may be boarded
either at the interurban station or at
the corner of State and Packard
streets. The poster notlees, to the
effect that the party will leave via
the Michigan Central, are incorrect.

MYTEHRY-COFFIN CAUSES
DEITLERA DEATH RUMOR
PROVISIONALS WARN CITIZENS
AGAINST RESISTING
AUTHORITY
Dublin, July 1]3.-Eamonn de Vale-
ra again has been reported dead, but
this rumor is not credited by any of
the Free State officials.
Limerick was the seat of this ru-
mor. According to the report, a mys-
terious coffin, draped with the Irish
Republican colors and under guard
of irregular troops, was lying in state
in a church. The lid of the coffin had
been screwed down and the corpse
could not be seen.
The irregulars claim the capture
of two Free State generals, Hayes and
Connelly, in County Limerick.
The Irish provisional government
has issued a manifesto warning the
people in the following words:
"We've armed groups, who are tak-
ing upon themselves the responsibil-
ity for making war against the Irish
people, permitted to remain under
arms to continue their unnatural ac-
tivities, this country would be faced
with economic ruin and famine as
well as the return of the British.
Regulars assert the situation in the
South is satisfactory. However, the
irregulars claim to have won a series
of successes north of Cork which gives.
them control of part of the Counties
of Kerry, Wexford, Cork and Mayo.
A dispatch from Belfast quoted P.
J. Little, the Belfast "press agent" of
the- Republicans, as saying that the
people of Cork have accepted the re-
public which wts proclaimed there by
rebels on Tuesday.
Wire communication has been cut
betw'een this city and Co rk. The
strict isolation of Cork is causing
consternation here. Up to noon not
even a travieler had arrived from
Cork to bring any news of events in
that part of Ireland.

matter of freight carrying.
Several questions of vital intere t
to the truckmen are scheduled to
come before the attention of the law
makers at Lansing next winter, in
the opinon of Mr. Henk, chief of
which will be the proposal to place
the truck operators under jurisdic-
tion of the public utilities commis-
sion, the state body that fixes rail-
road and interurban rates.
To.Ask Study of Problems
The truckmen, it is announced, will
not be averse to such control provided,
a close study is made of the opera-
tors' problems by the legislature. It
is pointed out. that rates on freight
handled by truck should be neither
too high nor too low, and that an ec-
onomic. study should be made to de-
termine upon regulaions that would
serve the best interests of operators
and shippers alike.
The trucking interests, Mr. Henk
announces, also are to seek miodifica-
tion of the 1917 law that limits the
loads of trucks in wet weather. Under
the law the road commissioners in
each county have the authority to
pass upon the condition of the roadst
and state what-roads may be carried
in each county. The truck owners
want this authority placed in the
hands of the state highway depart-
ment so that uniform regulations may
be set.up. They also desire that the
cement roads be exempt from the wet
weather regulations. At present all
classes of roads are considered
equally during wet weather.
AIL L I E S REFUSE
GERMAN DEMANDS
Paris, July 13.--The reparations
commission today notified the German
government in reply to the demand
for a moratorium for repartions pay-
ments, that it would give a definite
answer only when it has in hand the
full report of the committee on guar-
antees which went to Berlin a short
time ago to supervise reforms to
natural order.
In conclusion Dr. Slonimsky sr
"The great idea must be an idea of
world peace. Values must be con-
served. Death and defeat of the good
are only apparent." This last idea, h'
said, is a necessary supplement to the
moral doctrine without which) the
moralist would have to despair.
