Public invited and announcement made that the 1,600 executives must attend every session Officials of signalmen's union representing 15,000 rail employees' vote, not to authorize walkout at present, thus limiting prospective strikers to trainmen, conductors, engineers firemen, switchmen and telegraphers.

Leaders warn signalmen tc perform only their regular work however. Labor Board members say it will not offer any plan of settlement of strike situation at Wednesday's hearing and that any such plan must come from the roads or the unions. Cleveland Big Four brotherhood chiefs announce that strike situation is unchanged. Washington After a conference with district attorneys from Chicago, Buffalo, Cleveland, New York and Indianapolis, Attorney General Daugberty said he did not believe there would be a strike but uniformity of policy in any event was determined upon that the government has. the inherent right to protect itself -from paralysis of the transportation facilities, and mentioned the conspiracy laws.

St. Louis E.J. Manion- president of the railway telegraphers, union, denies a report that his 75,000 men may not walk out and says they will stand by the "big five" in the proposed strike.

EX-EMPEROR CAPTURED Charles and Empress Zita Now Prisoners in Castle Near Kor-raand Monarchist Troops Defeated 200 Killed, 1,000 Wounded Ml.v As.Hoi'Piii'il Pre" Buda Pest, Oct.

24 Ex-Emperor Charles and Empress Zita were captured near Kormand and arc now confined in the castle at Tata Tovaros, guarded by two companies of government troops. Colonel Ostenburg's troops covering the retreat of the former rulers, were forced to surrender and are prisoners, The monarchist troops, who were attempting to open the way for the entry of Ex-King Charles to the Hungarian capital, were defeated this morning in hand-to hand fighting, in which gren ades were used, near Tata Tovaros, about 35 miles from Buda Pest. They lost 200 killed and about 1,000 wounded. The former king sent another plenipotentiary to Admiral Hor-thay, the regent today, and discussions lasting several hours were carried on but with little hope of agreement, as both parties were obstinate and bloodshed has aggravated the situation. The Karlist premier, Rakov-sky, has issued a proclamation to the nation to rally to the king's banner and fight against "the ungrateful rebel Horthay." After further fighting the Karlist forces dispersed, abandoning Charles to the government troops, according to this information.

He was handed over with every mark of consideration to Colonel Falvy, commander of the national army. There is no official confirmation of this report. (Ily AHHiH'iiiit'il Tress) The second attempt of Charles to re-establsh himself on the throne of Hungary was no more of a success than the first. There is not likely to be a third attempt for Charles now awaits the pleasure of the allied powers as to his fate. The episode moved so rapidly that the full details have not yet reached the capitol.

As far as it known at the present- time, Charles managed to push a trainload of troops to Budar, a short distance from Buda Pest. At first he held hs own against the forces of Rcger Horthav, but when the Horthav troops were reinforced Charles was compelled to beat a retreat at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon to Hcrcegalom.

In connection with the issuance of prescriptions the regulations said: No prescription may be issued for a greater quantity of intoxicating liipmr than is necessary for use as medicine by a physician iircscribed in the treatment of an ailment from which such patient is known by the physician to be suffering.

The new regulations, according to Secretary Mellon, are in accordance with the Former Attorney General Palmer's interpretation of the law.

Medical beer can be Sold in only a few slates Mr. Wheeler said and then would be sold largely by bootleggers. Every brewer who has violated the law within a year is disqualified he said, and wc will fight every application on this ground as they lu'vv practically all violated the law." Issuance of the regulations, he added, was bad politics both from -the standpoint the temperance and the breweries. Senator Sterling, South Dakota, in charge of the anti-beer measure in the senate, declared the bill would be taken no immediately after dis-pi sal of the pending tax bill and that there "was no question of its ultimate passage."

The board members explained the hearing technically is to determine if the transportation act has been violated and that they had decided at informal meetings it was their duty to see that provisions of the railway law were made effective al-' though it would take any steps which might tend toward promoting a clear- ing up of the crisis.

At the same 1 time the botird formally announced "there was great 'hope for settling the strike." All of the union men and the rail heads summoned must attend every session, the board stated, and the Coliseum, scene of many great gatherings, has 'been hired for the hearing, which will be open to the public. FVom the labor side came announcements that 15.01X) signal men will not be authorized to strike, thus limiting the prospective strik-ery to 475,000 trainmen, conductors, i switchmen, engineers, firemen and telegraphers and including the nuni-l Lbcr of- men whose leaders. have pledged them not to walk out to about a million and a half. The 75,000 telegraphers apparently were definitely committed to a strike when J. Manion.

I i The information that the labor i board would not go into the conference with any specific plan for so- lution of the rail difficulties fol-j lowed an announcement from the board that the presidents of the "big four" brotherhoods in a telegram had again warned the hoard the strike could not under any circumstances be postpomM, although it might he settled. The message was looked on by board members as especially significant in view of the fact that the board has not been backward in letting it became known that the hearing is expected to drag out for some tune and that it is depending on the union child to obey orders not to permit a strike pending a decision from the conference. This decision members of the board said undoubtedly would not be rendered until after Oct.

30, the dale set for the strike. was explained at the board's offices that the hearing probably would be opened with a statement from R. M. Barton, chairman of (Inboard, telling why the conference was called and outlining the board's desire for further information. One member of (be board in dis cussing the possibility of the hearing lasting some time today said it was likely in view of the board's order that all of the 1,000 chiefs must attend, every session, that a daily roll call would be held and that such procedure undoubtedly would take considerable time.

Kailroad executives began gathering here tonight for the Wedncsda" meeting, but the general influx is not expected until tomorrow, when the standing presidents' committee of the 'Association of K'ailway Kxecutivcs will hold an informal session to discuss its attitude. The carrier heads thus far have taken the attitude that they will have little to say in the conference maintaining that the board's citation was- directed mainly at the labor union's and that the roads were summoned simply because both sides must be represented. The announcement from the signal men today placed ten of the eleven standard American Federation of Labor rail unions formally against strike at this time, although all I I I I I I I I 0 tions decisions which are not expected for some time.

(Dy ARSiiilnti'd Truss) Cleveland, Oct. Stone, president of the of Locomotive Engineers, tonight declared, "there is no open break" between the "Rig Live" railroad transportation organizations and the organizations of shop crafts, which have voted not to join the strike set to begin October 30. There, is no open break. The situation is very much overdrawn. Kach organization is free to use its own judgment.

Kach organization preserves its own autonomy." This was Mr. Stone's reply when asked if, the action of the shop crafts in not to follow the lead of the "Rig Five" indicated an open rupture of relations. Some of the subordinate brotherhood officials intimated, however that there was a strong possibility in their judgment that many of the members of other railroad organizations would join the members wf the "Rig Five" in the event they leave the service, regardless of their leaders' instructions to the contrary Mr. Stone refused to comment on reports from Memphis, that general chairmen of the engineers' brotherhood had received advices from him that it was not necessary for them to attend the Chicago ference, until he knew which chairman made the alleged statement and corroborated the report. Mr.

Stone also stated that it was his understanding that the vice- chairmen as well as general chairmen have been summoned to appear at the Chicago conference.

D. F. Dunklc, Orrin Randolph, George Carr and W.

J. voullchrcn appeared before the council in the interests of the project. They proposed that cither Rclvi- dere road be continued straight west to meet the Military Trail or that a road be built on the quarter mile range through sections 31 and 32, with a connecting road along the stub canal. The main argument advanced in favor of one of these roads, of which the latter was considered the best, was that now in going either to the country club or on past it to the cross state highway, it is necessary to travel along the Military Trail, which is entirely too narrow for the increased traffic. As there are ditches on both sides of the trail, the cost of filling and widening the trail is prohibitive.

The committee pointed (nit that a new road is the only solution of the problem of providing transportation to this section, consequently, and as future development and the completion of the cross state highway will mean more travel, that the matter should be taken in hand at once. Besides eliminating the difficulties and dangers of the narrow, ditch-bordered trail, either of these new roads would cut off several miles of the trip cross state, now made necessary by the angle in Okeechobee K'oad, The specific proposal was that the city should undertake to build onci of these roads to the city limits and that the county complete it to tin junction with the trail. It was said that the project would be put before the county commissioners at their next meeting, and their co-operation asked. It was brought out in the course of discussion that service to members! of the country club would be the least part of the road's function, as it would also belji to develop the properties through which it passed, notably the holdings of the Model Laud Company, West Gate, and the eighty-two acres in section 32, owned by the city and intended for a fair grounds and pleasure park. Mr.

Randolph, speaking of the importance of doing more for the enter tainment of tourists, said that it would enable the city to lay out a baseball diamond on this property for winter baseball and other outdoor recreational features. The council was very favorably impressed by the proposal, and it was agreed that the south borough council be invited to attend the regular meeting F'riday evening so that the matter might be gone over with its members since the main road would be in its territory and would he particularly advantageous to the people of the district.

A program for "concerted action and harmony of effort" to prevent a tietip of the transportation facilities of the country in the event of a railroad strike was decided upon today by Attorney (ietieral Daugherty in conference with United States district attorneys from five cities. The district attornsy who met with the attorney general were Ilay-vtard, of New York; Cline, of Chicago; Wcrth, of Cleveland; Lock-wood, of Huffalo, and VanNuys, of Indianapolis.

Daugherty de clarer! conterence was caneo ior an "understanding in any emergency." lieyond mention of the conspiracy laws, he did not discuss details of the department's plans but indicated it was believed, on the strength of supreme court decisions that the government has the inherent right to protect itself from a paralysis of the country's transportation facilities and the power to use anv laws applicable to accomplish that end. Mr. Daugherty said that uniformity of proceedings and policy was de'ermined upon in any event. They came to discuss the various Tilans of the department in the event of a strike. "Wc did not discuss the merit's or matters in dispute between the roads and employees who have threatened to strike.

The department of ju.st.ice takes the position that it has nothing to do with the merits of the controversy and probably at no time would the merits enter into its policy.

As unexpected as a rain storm in a desert regulations permitting the manufacture and use of beer for medical purposes were issued today by the treasury department.

Withheld since March 3 last, when Former Attorney General Rainier held the use of beer as a medicine to be legal under the prohibition laws, the issuance of the beer regulations came as a complete surprise I leaders of the dry forces win; declared there had been an understanding with the treasury that the i cw rules should not be promulgated until the senate had acted upon the pending anti-beer bill. Issuance of the beer regulations will cause redoubled efforts to effect the passage of the anti-beer measures, senate leaders declared. while Wavnc Wheeler, general counsel, for the anti-Saloon League, described the treasury's action as less defensible than at any other tune. Secretary Mellon in announcing the issuance of the beer rules, de clared that the legal rights of the narties concerned being plain the dep-irlinent is unable longer to de-lav the issuance of these regulations." The new rules cover comprehensively the use of beer, wines and spiritoiis liipioi's as medicines.

Two quarts of wine was the limit rut upon a single prescription for that beverage but otherwise the regulations arc the same as for beer.
