The woman's attitude underwent a
sudden change and she seemed to al
most collapse when she heard the
sheriff's statement. First. according
to Larimer. she wanted to fix it up
for g money consideration but the
sheriff told her he could not set price
on such an affair.", She then begged
forA-''Tner cy and justice" and was in
formed that she would receive it as
the law provided She then asked to
talk to the county attorney.

over there now" Larimer informed
herr.
But when it came to removing her
from the building. the authorities dis
covered that Mrs. Phillips was vio-
lently i'll and that it was not camou-
flage. So Larimer and Carlson left
the building and got County Attorney

hour later when the trio of officers
again mounted the stairs and knocked

MAKE, GOOD IMPRESSION
Sample of ''SIikado~ Given at Cham

Sample of "AIiI<adoS Given at Cham
Der OF Commerce Today.
The old, and we'll loved score of the
"Mikado" is not to suffer at the hands
of the Cast and Score club of Wash
burn college which is presenting the
comic opera in Topeka Saturday night.
At least if the sample presentation of
one or two of the scenes at the Cham
Der of Commerce this noon is any
criterion, the college presentation will
be the equal of many of the profess
sional presentations,
The Mikado is one of those peren-
NAL musical shows which originated
in the days ~when tunefulness and
grace in music was at its height. Like
just one or two other shows. the Mi
kado has survived, and is one of the
best loved and most enjoyable of the
lighter comic operas.
Harry w. Smith, Lyman King, Gas
ton Ronchi, Misses Marion Munger,
Dorothy Drum. and Ruth Wood gave
the sample scenes at the Chamber of
Commerce this noon, displaying con-
siderable more ability and naturalness
than is usually the case with amateur
theatricals.' 1t really seems as tho the
cast of the Mikado will put on a show
which can be enjoyed by the common
run of people as we'll as by the rela-
tives of the participants.

U. S. Dept of Labor Repre-
sentative Into Local Strike.
He Requests That Federal Con-
ciliatOr Be Sent Here.
DISCUSSES LOCAL CONDITIONS
Topeka Situation Declared Diff
ferent From Other Cities.
Carpenters and Contractors Are
Still Standing Pat.

The appearance of Hugh Reid, spe-
cial representative of the United States
| department of labor. at the Chamber
of Commerce this noon may lead to
the settlement of the carpenters strike
| in Topeka. It's net result may be the
return to work not only of the car
penters. but OF the members of those
trades unions affected by the carpen-
| ters' strike.
Hugh Reid wired to the department
at Washington today for a federal
! conciliator, He asked that the con-
ciliator sent here be- a man familiar
| with the building trade. and a man
who can combine the outlook of the
| union man with the outlook of the
employer, and the outlook of the
people.
"Let Business Go On"
In his talk at the Chamber of Com
merce this noon Reid spoke concern
| ing the present high costs of both
| materials and of labor. He said that
as long as the price of each remains
in some stable ratio to the price of
the other, there is no need for worry
on either the part of the business man
or on the part of the consumer. Reid
said that it is only when some big
change comes in the relative relations
of commodity values that danger need
be feared. He says that at present no
such changes threaten and his closing
message to the business men was,
Don't worry: let business go on as
usual"
The possible settlement of the strike
of the building trade in Topeka came
out as a result of conference be-
tween Reid and Henry Bennett, repre-
senting the Master Builders associa-
| ton.
Reid said it seems to him that the
labor and capital situation in Topeka
| is peculiar and is not a general condi-
| ton in all parts of the United States
He said that it was not at all the con-
| dition found east of the Mississippi
river. Reid said that living costs here,
according to departmental reports,
were not more than 65 per cent above
the costs here four years ago. But
| Henry Bennett pointed out that the
carpenters have already received an
advance of nearly 81 per cent in wages
in the last two years and are now ask
| ing another raise which would make
total increase of 100 per cent in two
years.
| II Is Up To People.
Speaking of the meeting held Mon
day night between a special commit
tee of the carpenters and a special
committee of the master builders.

LOCAL POLICEMAN
 TELLS OF ARREST

The Birmingham and Ems ley police departments are somew hat indignant over the manner in which x. A. Walker, a member of the Ensley depart ment, and his son, Charles Walker, were treated by of ficers at Oneonta yesterday.
 According to information from both departments, MT. Walkers automo- bile was stolen from his home at Wylam March 9, and was sold to w.. H. Littleton of Blountsville by Louis Cocolo, who is under arrest on sev- eral charges of car stealing
 Detectives Burge and DeGroat, who handled the case, located Walkers car few weeks ago at the home of Little ton at Blountsville. Littleton admitted buying the car from Cocolo. Accord ing to the officers the car was identi- fled by Walker and he, with his son and a MT. Daniels of Bessemer, left yester- day morning for BlountSNllle tO DTlHS it back. They obtained the automobile from Littleton and were returning by way of Oneonta when they were ap- prehended on charges of larceny of an automobile, carrying, concealed weap- ons and reckless driving.
 Officer Walker gave out the follow ing statement last night: Thursday morning we passed through Oneonta en route to get the car. When we reached the home of Littleton, four miles this side of BlountSville, we found the car and started to return to Birmingham.
 When we had reached Oneonta a number of people and officers, well armed, were standing on the street. Just before we reached them someone drove large truck across the highway and before we could stop our car we had struck the truck. They then held us up at the point of pistols and carried us to police headquarters on charges of larceny of an automobile, carrying con- cea1ed weapons and reckless driving. Many of the citizens jeered us and accused us of being in with Cocolo. The warrants for us were sworn out by Lit tleton, I learned, because we did not reimburse him for the amount he paid Cocolo for the car.
 After much trouble and annoyance we were allowed to make bond and come to Birmingham"
