UNTIMELY MOTION

Coal Deposits Discovered In
Morrow Coz; News Of
Neighborhood

Fredericksburg, Dec. 22-This little
village has been in a turmoil of ex-
citement over the assault on pretty
little eighteen-year-old Reva Scott by
a total stranger who accosted her in
the barn during the noon hour when
she was performing some chores.
The man, reported by her as being
about middle aged, had light eyes
and a dark mustache. She says he
came to the house attired In hunters
clothing and carried a shotgun. The
girl was alone. He asked her many
questions, but finally departed. His
conduct rather alarmed her.
Later, her father was away and
she went to the barn to feed the
horses. There she faced the man
again. This time he had revolver
which he pointed at her and demand
'esl silence. Then he choked her and
pat "a handkerchief over her nose
and mouth. That is all the girl re.
members until she regained con
sciousness an hour later. DR.. Max
we'll was called from Fredericksburg
and Sheriff Miller of Wayne county
notified Immediately
A thorough search OF the premises
was made. The sheriff made a circle
around buildings but found no tracks
in the snow leading away. The man
could, however, have left the prem
ises by way of the land where the
snow had been tramped down and
where tracks could not be followed.
a thorough search was made in the
barn but the fellow had undoubtedly
gone.

CATTLE FROM ROSWELL

SPECIAL coRREsPonoENcH TO MORNING JOURNAL
Roswell, y. NJ. March 25-Another
carload Of fine dairy cattle left Ros-
well yesterday for Albuquerque. l..
* stevens and James Bezemek, dairy
men Of Albuquerque were the pur-
chasers And again the state fair
held at albuquerque last fall gets the
credit The dairymen here made a
large showing of dairy cattle there
and they are now reaping the bene-
fits. This is the second carload which
Mr stevens and Mr. Bezemek have
bought within the past two months.
They were SO well pleased with the
COWS they got in the first carload that
they came and got more. this time
taking more than thirty with them
In the bunch were sixteen regis
tered cows and bulls. two of the cows
having been imported from the Isle
Of Jersey. The cows came principally
from the herds of Meldrum Gray. a
D. Grille, Tom Malone and Ben Ames.
While the price paid was sufficient
to allow the dairymen here profit
on their stuff, the Albuquerque men
said they got their moneys worth.
The total purchase price was some
thing over $4,000. The dairymen
here have many young COWS which
will be fresh soon and will likely ship
in more to add to their herds.

feature picture. What viii People
Say?' produced by the Popular Plays
and Players and offered for release
on the Metro program. 1t is truly
another Metro wonderpay, and easily
the best feature picture in which
Nine Petrova has appeared AL
though Mime. Petrova scored cnor-
nous success on the speaking stage
in nearly every capital Of Europe be-
fore she made her triumphs in New
York and on tour in this country, il
remained for motion pictures to- af-
ford her the greatest opportunity Of
her career. She stands alone in the
realms of the silent drama as a su-
preme emotional actress, and as
marvellous pentomimist she has no
equal on the screen.
Nine Petrova is supported by a
strong cast, which includes Fritz de

CHlNKS STIRRED UP BY
CENS0R'S RESIGNATION

Peking Feb 20.-China has been
much stirred by the resignation Of the
chief of the censorate, Chuang Ten
IIuan, who is to be succeeded by
Chang Yuan-chi. The views of the
retiring chief oocerning the monar-
chical change are responsible for the
withdrawal
From the early days of The So
ciety for the Preservation OF Peace,
which fostered the monarchical
movement il has been known that
Chuang Wen-kuan opposed the move
ment and prepared recommenda
ton in which many Of the other cen
sors concurred advising that Yang
Tu and other promoters of the mon
archica restoration be drastically
punished This original recommen-
dation was ignored by the central
government, and subsequent recon-
mondations from the censorate are re
ported to have been similarly treated
II is now rumored that six or seven
members Of the censOrate will also
retire as the chief has done. They |
recently advised that the new imper !
ial calendar be cancelled, that the re-
public be fully restored and that the
bureau Of ceremony, which is arrang
ing for the enforcement be abolish |
ed.
The Chinese censors vary in num- /
ber Usually there are less than sixty I
members Of the censorate, and ordi-
narily the number does not exceed /
forty. The functions Of this body are \
to Investigate the conduct Of officials |
and bring charges It has no judicial /
functions, but Is really a critical body I
