SOUTHWEST COAL MINERS VOTE DOWN ]!
 PLAN ID STRIKE
Delegates in Kansas City, Convention Tacitly Accept Penalty Clause in New
 Contract

Kansas City, Mo, November 15.-By rising vote representatives of coal min CTS of the three southwest districts in convention here, defeated resolution instructing the presidents of the dis tricts to call a general strike if the Southwestern Coal Operators associa- tion refused to accept the so-called Kan sas City agreement, which did not con- tain the penalty clause. The vote was 143 to 126
 On roll call the resolution was defeat ed, 1S8 to 166.
 The convention adopted a resolution instructing the officerA of the three dis tricts to confer with officials of the op- erators' association and obtain the best possible penalty clause. The action re- scinds that taken last night when the delegates rejected the penalty clause.
 The convention adjourned subject to the call of the chairman, Alexander M. Howat president of the Kansas district.
 It was explained that negotiations are where they were prior to the drawing up of the so-called Kansas City agree ment" which contained clause abolish- ing the automatic penalty clause de- manded by Fuel Administrator Garfield
 By their action tonight, it was stated the miners have tacitly accepted the pen. atty clause. It was made clear however that the miners would insist upon wage increases being embodied in the new clause.

and made careful plans for the com . mission of the alleged crime. It will submit testimony to prove that Dr. Hughes was en route to Redwood to look after his duties as physician for the Foster Creighton Gould company when he was stopped by Terry, who said he desired to accompany him part of the way so he might spend the aft ernoon shooting birds
 STORY OF KILLING
 Then it will bring in the story of the finding of pr. Hughes body on one side of the road and Terrys body on the other with an automobile separ- ating them; of the presence of two pistols and one shotgun which had been in Terry's possession; of the mutiliated condition of Dr. Hughes and of the hnd- ing of a ring which had been shot from Dr. Hughes finger. The state will contend that the appearance of the au- tomobile and the location of the guns is physical evidence of the fact that Terry fired two loads of buckshot into Dr, Hughes body.
 It will be one of the hardest fought cases ever tried in Alabama Terry had borne an excellent reputation in Mont. gomery and other towns where he had served as pastor, and in the North Alabama Methodist conference.
 Dr. Hughes was prominent in Frank lin county and in the medical profess sion. One hundred jurors have been summoned from among whom 12 will be selected to pass upon the evidence. The state has summoned about 35 wit nesses. Terry's witnesses will run the total to nearly 100

signed to teach men the trench cross ing art. The soldier hurls his body high above the enemy pits and brings himself up IA an advantageous posi- tion to ward off or launch an attacI, on the other siae.
 On the many hills of tho canton ment may be picked out little man. like forms sticking out like ink dots against the clear sky. Several hun dred yards from each figure may be distinguished second form appar- ently working in team-like fashion with the first. These are the members of the school in sisnalling. Every sol- dier is expected to know the old wig wag alphabet and he is supposed to know how to send and receive mes sages with little white aud red flags as far as the naked eye can reach
 Bayonet drill still comes in for it's share of attention. Platoons of agile forms sprint 20 or 30 paces and jab a sparkling knife blade into a canvas sack loaded with corn shucks. On the man-like canvas form has been paint jed six black spots representing the vital points in human body. The knife blade is thrust into one of these and twisted and turned and yanked out No error must be made in locat- ing the vital sections and t:.e soldier must be as able to loosen his weapon instantaneouslv
 These are but a few of the many oolnes of the day in the Twenty ninth o1vlsion. Real soldiers have taken the place or the raw recruits who landed here two months ago.
