NlLA DUNLAP is
AGAIN ARRESTED
She and Money King Were
Not Getting Along
Well.

There might have been good
sized police court this morning If all
offenders had turned up, but up TO
ten o'clock only wiiia Dunlap. alias
Fanny Wright ,coIored, appeared for
a hearing. villa spent the early
morning hours in the city jail so she
could be on hand bright and early.
This is the second time within several
days that villa has been asked to ex-
plain certain wild actions due to
drink. Mayor Conway fined the girl
$40.
Early this morning report came to
city police that Villa was disturbing
! everyone at the home of Money
Kign," a well known colored man, on
Water street.
villa explained this morning that
the man threatened to harm her, Bit
ing her and ATTEMPTED to use knife,
She admitted that she got the knife
away and struck him in the shoulder
with it. She told the police in court
that Money King" made a-living by
charging men and women for using
his room as a general dope joint, and
that as he was a particular friend OF
hers, she didn't intend to permit 1t
anymore; that she had taken care Of
him last year when he was full Of
dope holes.
An officer went to VILLAS room
with her to get the $40 fine. Twice in
the last week or so Villa has been
compelled To take an officer there for
a $40 fine. Mayor Conway asked
that money King" be brought in for
a hearing on the charge as made
against him by the girl. She prom
ised to appear at that time.
Those who forfeited fines this
morning were: Edward Thompson,
charged with shooting crap on Madi-
son street, SIS; R. A. stockle, same of
tense, same fine; Roy Motion, crap
shooting, SIS; Grace Powell, reckless
driving on Jefferson street, SIS.

the interest of the public in general
and he would have law breakers pun
ished whether 1t was an operator VINO
sold coat for an excessive amount or
whether 1t was miner that meant to
obstruct production in the meaning OF
the, instructions granted. Mr.. Walker
says he comes here positively with
an open mind on all subjects. His re-
port will be made up from the intor-
nation that he and his assistants gath
er while they are in the city. They
will keep in close touch with the
strike situation. In his trip from
Cumberland, Nd, to Fairmont he said
lie noted that all of the mining towns
were peaceable and quiet and the men
were we'll behaved.
From the instructions issued by the
government 1t would appear that
g picket!~g" at the mines in the event
of some being started will not be per-
United. Striking miners probably
would be discreet If they would refrain
from "picketing." So far the miners
have been well behaved and no trou-
BILE is anticipated.
Mr.. Walker is accompanied by his
secretary, joseph Goheen, and by
Special kgent Lambeth, of the Depart
ment of Justice, who will make an in
vestigation and report to Mr.. Walker.
The work is directly under the charge
Of Attorney General A. Mitchell

BETTER SPEECH WEEK

and today is "slang Day" The classes
in English were drilled in pronuncia-
ton and stress was placed on it in the
other classes. Today slang is being
discussed and the question Of whether
it is ever permissible is being decided.
Enunciation is being emphasized all
over the building during the whole
week.
In Mrs. McBee's English classes, a
contestis being carried on. Each
class was divided into two teams, and
each team elected captain. The pur-
pose of this is for each team to check
up the errors in speech, of the other
team. The team having the most err
rors to it's credit is to present a box
of candy to.the other team.
The students of the High school are
securing the cooperation Of their par
ents in the work OF Better Speech

rived for both. A campaign of COR
recting our speech" is going on in the
