Woman Denies She
Substituted Another
Child for Her Own

LONDON. Dec. q. - Mrs Dorothy
sllngsby. wife Of Lieutenant Charles
slingsby, San Francisco. denied in pro-
bate court today the allegation that her
son, heir to the Slingsby estate in York
shire, had died and that she had sub
mitted for him another infant.
Mrs. shngsby was subjected to a Sc
we're cross-examination. during which

which led the board to decide that her

Mrs Slingsby met these statements with
a succession of denials, She admitted
that she had arranged for the insertion
Of an advertisement in a San Francisco
newspaper concerning the adoption Of a
child. but she said that she had done so
merely TO crafty a within.
She denied that DIR. w. w. Frazer Of

he might be able 70 procure child for
her, or that she had applied to the As
ISOLATED Charities OF san Francisco for
an infant. She said she had not accepted
from any person any child for adoption.
and swore that the present claimant was
her own child.

$4,000. which by a specila provision OF
the will of the Rev. Charles Slingsby.

Patterson Blames
Colorado Strike on
Operators of Mines

DENVER, Dec. 3-Former Senator Pat
terson. who was the principal witness In
the federal inquiry into the coal miners
strike here today. placed the blame for
the strike on the refusal OF the mine
operators to confer with officers of the
United Mine Workers OF America
Mr. Patterson. who described himself
as a small mine owner s<etched the his
tory OF Colorado labor troubles beginning
with the Leadville strike of 1880
Senator Patterson said the present
strike seemed a continuation of the strike
in the northern field. which began in
1910.
THE strike spread to the southern dis
trict. have no doubt the miners sought
to install union men in the southern
fields The men out in the northern
fields were on the strike. benefit list OF
the national organization. This was very
expensive, and imagine the national or
ganization felt that It must involve the
southern field and proceeded along that
line. For several months before the
southern strike they must have succeeded
in installing a considerable number OF
union men in the southern mines, per.
haps Is per cent of the whole number
employed
Trouble in the southern district be-
gan Immediately upon the operators re-
fusing 20 accede TO The demands OF the
union. Strikebreakers were brought IN,
and through one OF the great companies
that had been operating In West virinia.
what the strikers called gun mem were
imported. They signallxed their entrance
by shooting at and killing a striking
miner. Gerald IAppiat. at Trinidad. Ny
impression was that there was not justi-
fication for that killing. Violence began.
The miners attributed it to the gun
men,, and the operators to the instiga-
ton OF the national officers of the union.
Senator Paterson told OF a series OF
conferences with Governor Ammons and
with representatives Of the mine owners
and the United Mine Workers separately.
He said the operators fatty refused 20
meet the union officers in q conference,
although the president OF the organiza-
tion, John p. White. had tntlmAted that
n such a conference were granted the
strike would be settled
II believe that n the operators had
agreed 20 meet the miners the strike
would have been ended" he said. THE
responsibility for the violence. think
rests right there in the refusal to meet
the miners"

BIO. FOR CLOSER
CIVIC RELATIONS
Company InstructS Repre-
SentativeS to Keep in Touch
With Matters of State
CIRCULAR LETTER
EXPLAINS THE PLAN

The question Of public relations be
tween the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road and the communities served by
its lines Is one of absorbing interest
to the management, as indicated by a
circular which has been sent to all
officials, agents and other represen-
tatives of the road. urging them to
exert every effort to promote good
viii by bringing about a fair under
standing of the railroad problems
while at the same time according duo
consideration to public rights.
Representatives of the railroad have
been instructed to keep in touch with
matters Of state and municipal gov
ernment as well as with the activities
of business organizations, so that
where railroad questions are involved
the company may secure hearing
when propitious for it to do so. The
sense of the circular is that the local
representatives of the Baltimore and
Ohio shall act in representative
capacity for the management.
AT meetings of town councils, trade
organizations or citizens the railroad
representatives are urged to enter
their appearance and give considera
ton 70 the questions which come up.
In this way the management aims TO
put itself in intimate touch with pub
ic opinion in order to work along
cooperative lines with the communi-
ties upon whom it depends for rev.
enue.
Agents and others are urged to keep
themselves informed throug- the me-
dium of the local press and forward
such articles as may be of interest to
superiors The purpose Of the Balti-
more and Ohio policy is to extend the
plan adopted recently of rendering to
the various communities the expert
services Of its engineering, transpOr-
tation, traffic, industrial and other
officials free of charge in working out
their problems. Officials of the Bal
timOre and Ohio are called into con-
sultation often on problems concern
ing waterworks, improvements, street
construction, erection of buildings,
etc. the aim being to give the COM
munities the benefit of every possible
assistance.
The present policy Of railroad man
agement which has as its foundation
cooperation between transportation
interests and the people they serve
suggested the circular which is being
sent to Baltimore and Ohio represen-
tatives.

SURELY
DESTROYS THE HAIR
Makes it Dull Brittle, Lifeless, and
Causes it to FAN Out.

Cirls--if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful. glossy, silky hair, do by al
means get rid Of dandrnf, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it IT You
don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try 10
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to Get rid of dandruf is to dissolve
it, then you destroy it entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when re'
tiring use enough 20 moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all OF your
dandruif will be gone. and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy, every single
sign and trace of it.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop. and
your hair win be silky, fluffy lustrous,
soft. and look and feel a hundred times
better. You can get liquid arvon at
any drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
four ounces is all you viii need, no mat
ter how much dandruif you have. This
simple remedy never fails.
