Takes Bandit Into
Home and Is Beaten
Up for His Kindness

Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. 21-(Spe-
cial. "A stranger giving the name
of "Al jennings" but who disclaims
any intention of representing him
self to be the famous ex-train rob-
Der, is subject to the charge of max
ing a murderous attack on Town
Marshal Williams, of Winfred.
The town marshal, out OF kindness
for his prisoner, rather than keep
him in the unsanitary town Jail,
took him to his own home. Jen-
nings took advantage of the first
opportunity to attack the marshal,
striking the officer with a BLACK
jack" lacerating his face and break
ing his nose, and then made his
escape.
The fugitive was trailed to a farm
house by Deputy Sheriff Frye and
a Winfred bank clerk and recap
tured. The fugitive slept in a straw
stack the night before and was near
ly frozen, as the temperature was
around the zero mark.

the Garfield proposal and the Pal

accepted at Indianapolis:
Radical Changes Noted.

have established a board with ad-
visory powers only. The Palmer
Lewis memorandum agreement
would establish a commission not
advisory in character. but with full
power definitely to fix coal prices,
wages, differentials and to determine
the details of working conditions
within each district covering that
memorandum. -,
"2. The question Of differentials
and internal working conditions in
the many bituminous coal fields al
fected BY this memorandum are so
involved and complicated that COM

telligent decision, would be an IN

to statements by A. M. Ogle, chair

was false.
Mr.. Ogle tonight responded to the

Renew DeniaIs That Previous
Agreements Bind Them
to Accept Govern
ment Plan.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Coal opera.
tors Of the United States through
their executive committee explained
further tonight their reasons for re-
fusing to participate in the govern
ments plan for settling the btu
minous coal strike. Renewing the
denials that previous agreements
had bound them to accept the gov
ernment's plan, the operators as
serted that while they were bound
by and had agreed to accept strike
settlement proposals made by DR..
Garfield, former fuel administrator,
the government proposals as &C
cepted by the miners differ vitality
from those of the Garfield plan.
The insistence Of the operators on
the stand left open tonight the pos
sibility, it was held, that the COM
mission named Saturday by Presi-
dent Wilson and given by him, pow
err to fix wages and prices of coal
necessary to SUSTAIN wages, might
be unable to function. The execu-
tive committee did not say, however,
that operators would stand aloof
from the commission in its investi-
cations and decision, but left the
question open to be settled prob
ably at meeting Tuesday in Cleve-
land, O., where general session of
the scale committee, central COM
petitive field and other operators
generally has been called.
Operators Statement.
The operators in a formal state
ment tonight said:
I'm the light of the statement
of Attorney General Palmer of yes
terday, in which he says that it
would be an amazing reputation
of their own statements if the oHer-
ators do not acquiesce in the plan
which their official representatives
have repeatedly agreed to, in the
settlement of the strike, the bitum-
nous coal operators feel impelled
to re-state their attitude so that
it may be clearly appreciated by
the public.
Attorney General Palmer, in his
statement yesterday, asserted that
the operators had agreed to the
memorandum of the attorney gener-
al and John L. Lewis, acting presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers
of America, laying down the terms
of agreement for settlement of the
Soal strike. The fact is that the
operators never learned of the ex-
istence of that agreement until after
it had been presented to miners at
the indianapolis conference of De-
cember |.
"The operators did accept the pro-
posal of the government, presented
through DR.. Garfield, former fuel
administrator and referred to in Pres
ident Wilson'S letter of December
s. Under the terms of this proposal
the mine controversy was to be set
tied on the basis of the five prin-
ciples announced by DR.. Garfield.
The application of one of these
principles determined the IA per cent
advance which was granted the
miners. The Garfield proposal fur
Their provided for the establishment
of a board with advisory powers
only.
Stand by Garfield Plan.
"The operators still stand by the
acceptance of the Garfield proposal.
The presidents letter December s,
referred specifically to it and it
seemed clear to the minds of the
operators that it was the intent
of the president that the Garfield
proposal was to be used as the
