HE SURRENDERED WITHOUT A
FIGHT WHEN SURROUNDED
IN SMALL TOWN.
Daring Member of the Allen Gang
Made Prisoner Twelve Miles from
Where the Outlaws Were Thought
to Ee Hiding.

Hillsville, Va, March 22-Sidna Ed
wards, nephew OF SiGha Allen, and,
one of the Allen gang which took to
the mountains after the courthouse
assa ssinations here, was arrested to-
cay at Lambsburg, Va, without re-,
sistance by a posse of detectives.
Aoung Edwards was arrested by
Detectives Tom Felts and W. W..
Phauts, who had been in the noun
tams since last Tuesday. His sore
feet have been troubling him. Prob
ably he was unable to keep up with
the swift changes Of base MADE by the
other fugitives.
Makes No Statement.
Edwards reached Hillsville this af-
ternoon and Immediately was placed
in jail He would make no statement.
Jasper Allen, known as Jack,
brother of Sidna Allen, joined young
Edwards and the detectives on the
roof and came into town with them.
Edwards was not handcuffed and ap-
peared very docile
Edwards objected to Imprisonment
in a cell, but Jailer Burnette insist
ed and Edwards submitted. The
prisoner claimed he had voluntarily
surrendered to the authorities, be-
cause he had taken no part in the
shooting" Ee is under indictment,
however, for murder. ~H
When Jasper Allen was asked II
young Edwards was armed, he laugh
ed and said: ''The boy wouldn't carry
a gun if it were given to him. He is
eco reaceable."
1t is believed here that Jasper A
len n ay have had something to D
with young Edwards surrender
and that he may advise others of the
clan to do likewise.
There is little thought that Ed
wards will disclose the movements of
his kinsmen.
Sidna Edwards is % years old,
splendid type of young mountalneer.
He stands over six feet and weighs
between 1870 and 200 pounds. After
the thorough investigation as to his
participation in the Hillsville shoot
ing. Governor Mann increased the re-
ward for Edwards to $1,000, the same
as offered for the capture, dead or
alive, of Sidna Allen, leader of the
clan.
Floyd Allen, the old man whose
sentence to year in jail for inter-
fering with an officer precipitated the
killing of judge, prosecutor, sheriff, a
Juror and an innocent young girl has
given out an interview from the Roa-
noke Jail carefully censored by his
attorney. No reference to the tragedy
itself was made by the prisoner. He!
gave a sketch of his life and an ac-
count of tae events leading up to his
Indictment for interfering with an Of
ficer and denied emphatically that he
had ever made "moonshine" whisky.
His son, Victor, also prisoner, said
he took no part in the courthouse
shooting: that he went to Hillsville
unarrned to take witness for his
father, ald after the tragedy, because
he vas innocent, made no effort TO

THE PARLIAMENT
FAILS To ENACT
THE WAGE BILL
TURN DOWN MEASURE THAT
MEANT MUCH TO sTARV-
ING MINERS.
Government Called Upon to Finance
Soup Kitchens Which Have Been
Established in Scotland and other
Places During Labor War.

London, March 22.-Premier As
quith in the house Of commons this
afternoon refused to accept the min
ers' demands for an amendment to
the minimum wage bill providing a
minimum of $1,25 and so cents as
the days daily wage for men and
boys respectively.
This leaves the British Industrial
situation still in a stage OF crisis.
Enoch Edwards, labor member q
parliament and president Of the Mia
ers Federation OF Great Britain. ina-
mediately announced that the pre-
mier's rejection of the miners
amendment closed the door to an i'm.
mediate settlement of the strike.
The house had just entered upou
the committee stage of the mlnimaGn
wage bill when the miners ameMd-
ment was moved and Premier AS
quith,s pronouncement, the gravity Of
which was immediately recognised
because it is practically certaia TO
bring about another deadlock, caused
a sensation.
In opposing the miners amendment
the premier said he was inclined ~
think the figures reasonable ones, bwt
that it was most undesirable to In
sert in the bill any special minimHnG
wage or to establish the precedent Of
fixing the rate of wages by act Of
parliament. satsN
Ramsay Mcdonald, leader Of the
labor party, bitterly accused the gov
ernment of banging the door in their
faces. He announced that the mineEs
were willing to waive the inclusion Of
their schedule rates in the bill n
the minimum rates of $1.25 and 50
cents were inserted.
William Brace, labor member for
Glaulorgan, declared that unless tke
$1.25 and so cents rates were concea-
ed the miners would remain idle unsA
the matter was settled.
The amendment was negativsd
without division, but it is understood
the question will be raised again dar-
ing the report stage of the bill when
in view of Ramsay McDonald's an
nouncement, some form of compro-
mise provision may be inserted
Hopeful Of Settlement.
The government this evening re-
ceived the peace negotiations With
the british coal owners and the min
ers. Premier Asquith is trying to in
duce the coal ownerg to agree to pay
$1.25 and so cents minimum daily
wages and Is hoping that the men
will be content with the promise of
the employers without the inclusion of
any figures in the minimum wage
bill. 1t is evident the government is
sanguine Of securing a compromise in
the dispute.
Now that they have failed to obtain
what they demanded, the miners have
stated they may refuse to return to
work and the government will be
then faced with the necessity Of TAX
ing these "other and different meas~
ures" foreshadowed by the premier
yesterday and which are believed to
mean adequate protection for those
men desiring to return to work.

BROADWAY MoURNs ITS BOOB.
Irving w. Chiids Caused Many . Smile Along the Jaded Street.

There is real sorrow on Broadway for the death of Irving W. Childs II is not the grief which Broadway feels when bankruptcy, or parental intervention. or even death, takes away d. good thing" Childs would have been beloved on Broadway if he had not inherited S7O0,0O0 from his millionaire father, William Henry Harrison Chnds of Brooklyn. and even had he not thrown the money away with both hands.
 Broadway called Childs-more in affection than in ridicule-the Grand Young Boob By which Broadway meant that anybody could get money from him at any time and have fun in doing it.
 The youth had a great ambition to be a detective. When Sheriff liar burger gave innocent pleasure to many imaginative m1iiionaires by ap- pointing them his deputies, Childs was one of the very first in the line cf applicants. As soon as he was appointed. he had a gold badge studded with diamonds made at Tiff fany's and a pair of solid gold hand cuffs The outfit cost him $2400 ana he displayed it on the slightest ex- cuse Policemen and detectives, n whom he knew scores. made harm less spending money by permitting him to make arrests for them. aftel they had marked down men fol whom they had warrants.
