Salt Lake Gilbert L. Brighton, 22 years of age, street car conductor, is the murderer of CKarles A. Faus. This Is the belief expressed by Chief of Police Joseph' E. Burbldge and Chief of Detectives Riley M. Beckstead. The police believe that Brighton will confess to the murder as he did to participation in the attempted robbery. A search is being made for the revolver with which Mr. Faus was killed. Brighton Is held In the state prison and a nationwide search is being made for Frank Miller, 85 years of age, who Brighton says was the man who fired the ahot Chief Beckstead, who brought about Brighton's arrest, said that Angelene Wacastor, the maid who planned the robbery, had confessed that when Brighton came to the bnck door on the night of the tragedy he wore his army overcoat. The man who shot Mr. Faus had on an army overcoat. The police say that there was no reason why the men should change coats while going from the back to the front. Mrs. Faus stated that the taller of the two bandits shot her husband. Brighton is .almost nix feet In height. Brighton said that his companion war taller than he. TThe police say that this is highly Improbable and that Brighton Is the man who fired the shot, according to their belief. The maid admitted that she recognized Brightons voice when he answered Mrs. Faus, although both men were masked. Miss Wacaster said that the man who spoke was the mar who fired the fatal shot. Although the girl asserted that she did not thin;: Brighton was the guilty man, the po lice say that they believe that she knows that he Is the murderer and that she merely desires to shield him ss much as possible. When Chief Beckstead asked the girl why she had arranged the robbery she said : I needed fifty dollars. Brighton was arrested by Chief of Detectives Riley M.

The general Industrial and business situation now is such as to Justify confidence that we are well past the worst phase of the agricultural crisis, declared President Harding, In a letter read to farmers attending the annual Red River valley farm crop and livestock show here. The improvement is well begun and vlll continue ateadily from this time forward, said the letter, which was addressed to C. G. Selvig, superintendent of the Northwest School of Agriculture. After expressing regret that he was unable to deliver personally his message, President Hardings letter referred to the recent national agricultural conference in Washington, and continued : I am glad to say that my utmost anticipations of useful results from that gathering were more than realized. The fine spirit of cooperation among the farmers and the disposition on their part to unite their efforts in every possible way with those of the government, augurs particularly well for our hope of accomplishment. The conference gave serious and thorough consideration to the problems before It and presented practicable proposals for doing practical and worthwhile things. In the general Industrial and business situation there is much to justify confidence that we are well past the worst phases of the agricultural crisis that Improvement is well begun and that It will continue steadily from this time forward.

President Harding will go to the senate in person to submit the armament treaties and open his fight for their ratification. White House officials said. Harding's message, it Is understood, .vlll feature the declaration that the reatles Involve no surrender of American sovereignty. He will also assert that his campaign pledges relating to world concord through conference have been followed. The president has been advised by Senators Lodge and Underwood that little opposition is expected to the treaties In the senate, but It was decided he should present them personally to emphasize both to the senate and ftie country the achievements of the conference. President Harding Is putting the fin Ishlng touches on his treaty message, most of which was compiled In his Prssldent office.

Whether the 500, 000 union coal miners of the country will walk out on strike April 1 next probably will be decided here within the coming week. The miners national organization, the United Mine Workers of America, meets here with delegates from every union field in the country present, to frame its wage demands, On the eve oif the meeting, regarded as the most monentous ever faced by the largest labor union of the country, the situation shapes up ss follows : The miners will vote probably the unanimously against accepting wage cuts proposed by operators. 2 A counter-deman- d of a 20 per cent wage inceruse porbably will be made. , 8 Secretary Hoover has made a preliminary move looking to the prevention of a nation-wid- e coal strike, and this move probably will be placed before the convention for action. 4 John L. Lewis, president of the miners organization, has received replies from virtually all the railroad union presidents, to whom he proposed an offensive and defensive alllnace of rail and coal employees. 5 The railroad workers are willing to meet with the miners to discuss such an alliance as Lewis proposes, but have not committed themselves to the alliance. 6 There probably will be an offensive alliance of the two classes of workers in time to bring about a Joint coal and railroad workers' strike. Among the possibilities is one that the miners will make no. wage demands whatever, but vest the scale committee with full power to act In negotiating with the operators. Such action. If taken, would be a complete reversal of form for more than twenty years, would upset to greater or less degree some of the operators plans and would shift from labor to capital the responsibility for making the first advance. The miners scale committee, consisting of the presidents of all the district organizations and the three national officers, has been in session here since last Tuesday formulating Its proposals to the convention. These proposals, which are the only business scheduled to come before the convention, probubly will be ready for presentation the first day of the meeting. The advance of 20 per cent In wages, proposed by members of the committee, if adopted, would place the bitundnous miners on an equal footing with the anthracite workers, who recently voted to make such n demand In their field. Both anthracite nnd bitiulnous wage agreements expire simultaneously this year for the first time in many years, and negotiations, therefore, will find the miners presenting a united front. 1 The idea of financ Washington ing the soldier bonus through a sjiort time bond flotation Is gaining converts In congress. Senator Smoot, wlo Saturday night told President Harding the country would not stand for the tax method, declared his beief that the house bonus conferees had swung to his advocacy of the bond plan. Harding was understood to be planning an early conference with Secretary of the Treasury Mellon as to bonds. Business, Smoot declared, could not stand more taxes. Smoot ventured the opinion that the proposed tax method would be shelved and a bond Issue substituted. This Is despite administration objection. Republicans of the senate finance committee and the house ways and means committee continued tlielr deliberations over the ways and means committee's tax s'ieme had provoked a tremendous wave of opposition from all over the country. Big business, agriculture, the average man were all ti protest represented in the howl so mighty that some senators believed the bonus would die in transit if congress persisted in trying to pay the bonus through taxes on business and individuals. Smoot minced no words In his talk with President Harding. He told the executive in substance that the country was opposed to more taxes to pay a bonus. Smoot wants short time bonds issued subject to call when they could be paid off. Such financing, he believed, would not interfere with Liberty bond funding. Smoot declared that the financial burdens his bonus payment will involve are merely a flea bite compared to what is ahead. Just wait and aee what the future holds he warned, indicating his firm belief that the bonus is merely the forerunner of a pension system which will dwarf the Civil war pensions. While Smoot and some followers are pounding in the idea of a bond issue to care for the first bonus payments, the house and senate conferees are still pondering the ways and means tax proposals. Chairman McCumber of the senate finance committee favors postage, and that has caused a rumpus. The big issue, however, nr thla time, with Wall street protesting loudly, are the taxes on stock and bond transactions and the 2 per cent tax on undivided profits. DENBY PROPOSES BIG REDUCTION Would Make Saving of Seventy Million Dollars Washlgton. Secretary Denby appeared before the house naval committee Monday to recommend that the navy personnel for the next fiscal year be fixed at 90,000 men and 6000 apprentices, as compared with 100,000 men and 6000 apprentices now authorized. Mr. Denby recommended that there be no reduction in the existing strength of line officers of the navy; that the first class at Annapolis be graduated and commissioned, but that appointments to the academy hereafter be reduced to three for each member of congress instead of five. The naval secretary recommended that 100 destroyers be placed out of commission. He estimated that the program he outlined, would effect a saving of $70,000,000 in next years budget. , Seattle Editor Diet Seattle, Wash. Stricken at his desk shortly after returning from a Lincoln day banquet of the Young Mens Republican club, Harold Gardner Nicholas, managing editor of the Seattle died last Monday night before physicians could reach him.

As to the effect of the naval limitation treaty. Admiral Cofintz said: of The result of the limitations to be will place conference nrmanent upon each signatory power the onus of keeping its tonnage allotments up to the razor edge of efficiency. Should we reduce below the minimum stated be by tlie secretary of the navy, it will not nnd by a redilction by example agreement. The measure of the ratio of will be the efficiency and sufficiency of the personnel of the fleet.

M. Rhott, foreign freight manager of the Illinois Central, said the roads proposed to make the, reduction because business is not moving from the Middle West at the present charges. First class freight rates from Chi- cago to New Orleans are now $2.26 per hundred pounds, he explained, while from Chicago to New York they are 4' Mid-Weste- V r . $1.57. Thus nobody will ship first class freight destined for the Pacific coast via New Orleans, he said, when he can get Into New York Cheaper and " get better and more frequent boat service via. the canal. . The lower water rates from New Orleans would not equalize this, the witness insisted. Is there anything unlawful then In A. P. Humburgh, thesereductlons? counsel for the Illinois Central, asked. Nothing at all, the witness replied, and something very desirable from the standpoint of public policy in increasing the use at Panama canal facilities and of competitive service to consumers.
