pendent basketball squad are ex-
pecting keen competition when they

be determined. Manager Ford an
nounces that the lineup of the local
team will in all probability remain
the same as that of last week, with
McCord and Wallower at forwards

Gerdes at guards. Kline will be in
uniform.
Doyle, one of the best cage for
wards in the State. is the mainstay
OF the Locust Gap team, and has us
his running mate McHugh, who is
also great shot and floor man.
Sebastian, who has been the center
man for Ave seasons, will hold down
the pivot position. Betz and Mo-

BUT ONE MINER
OFFICIAL FACING
CONTEMPT CHARGE
Cases Against 50 Others Will
Be Dropped. in Opinion of
Prosecuting Attorney.

Indianapolis, Dec. 1o.-Except as
to Alexander Howat, president of
the Kansas district of the United
Mine Workers Of America, charges
Of contempt of court against "a Of
icials of that organization Tuesday
were continued by United States
District Judge A. B. Anderson until
such time as the governor or at
torneys for the defense again wish
to bring them before the, court.
The case against Howat. who
with the other officials, was alleged
to have violated the federal court
injunction against furtherance of the
strike, will be called for hearing
next Monday morning.
He is charged by the government
with continuing in his violation OF
the injunction by using his influence
to keep local strike in Kansas n
force.
Continuing Strike Crime.
This strike, it was stated in court
today. was called July II, 1919, but
October 81, when the general STRIKE
of miners became effective, was
merged with all other strikes. The
government contends that the ac-
ton taken by the general commit
tee of the United Mine Workers
here last week, in accepting the pro-
posal of President Wilson to end
the general strike, also provided for
ending all local strikes and that
continuation of them constituted
violation of the injunction on the
part of officials instrumental in
keeping them in force.
No Order Is Issued.
1t was declared in court that an
official in the Missouri district of
the mine workers also is guilty of
violation of the injunction in keep
ing in force strike called in SYM
pathy with that of the Kansas fields.
The Missouri official. however. was
not named and no order for his ap-
pearance in court was issued.
1t is generally believed that il the
miners continue at work the charges
against them will not be pushed by
the government. Dan w. Simms,
special United States district at
torney, who represented the govern
ment in court, indicated that it was
the opinion of the government that,
with the exception of Howat and the
Missouri official, the miners had
complied with the courts injunction

''By the help of Tanlac / am rid

awful and my heart would palpitate
so badly it would brighten me, and
| also had great difficulty in breath
ing at times. l would also have
such cramping pains in my stomach
i could hardly stand them. l was
troubled a great deal with my kid
news and would just almost scream
with pain that would start in the
small of my back and seem to work
up under my shoulder blades. !

lie in no position in which | would
not be in misery. Loss of sleep and
main and lack of nourishment soon
caused me to lose weight until |
v-as scarcely more than a frame and
was so weak / could do hardly
any of my Eousework. / would
also have terrible splitting head
aches and would become so dizzy
at times | would have to catch hold
Of something or sit down to keep

coadition without being able to find
an-thing to help me, although | had
tried every kind of treatment and

become very much discouraged,

mine / had not seen before in six
months and who the last time l
saw her was in an awful bad con-
dit;on and suffering terribly, but
who now was a perfect picture OF
health and looked at least twenty
years younger. She declared she
was we'll and that she owed it all
to Tanlac, and advised me to try it.
II took her advice and began
takirg Tanlac, and want to say
right here it is the grandest med
icine on earth in my opinion. |

eat anything / wanted without suf-
fering any bad after effects, and

Only Objections Are on
Arrangements for the

ing Events.

New York, Dec. 16-Memhers Of
the American Olympic games COM
mittee, when informed by The AS
ISOLATED Press Of the selection Of
the dates for the various cumpeti-
tons at Antwerp next year, ex-
pressed satisfaction with the prog
rcss. with the exception OF the dates
selected for the swimming and row
ing events. 1t was pointed out that
these contests, falling almost a
month after the completion of the
track and field games, would badly
upset the plans for the American
team now being organized. Unless
4 change can be effected, It may be
necessary to send the team to Bel
GUM in two sections, as the swim
iners and oarsmen, a delegation run
ming into double figures, cannot be
transported with the track contin-.
gent and held in Belgium for a
month after the major portion OF
the team is enroute for home.
American Plans.
Plans for the formation OF the
American team are rapidly advanc-
ing and arrangements for the hous-
ing of between 1000 and 1900 con-
iestants from the United States are
we'll under way. Owing to the low
altitude OF Antwerp, it has been de-
cided to quarter the team at con-
siderable distance from the scene
Of the games proper and transport
The entrants from day to daytto the
stadium as required by the pro-
gram. This was considered to be a
wiser course than to permit the ath-
letes to be quartered amid the noise
and confusion of the city and IN
close proximity to the damp air OF
the salt meadows.
It was also pointed our that the
course for the marathon race, from
Brussels to Antwerp will be over,
historic ground and along the same
roads over which the German army
advanced in its initial attack on Bel
GUM in August, 1914. The run
ners will pass through Malines, ia
nous for the determined stand OF
Cardinal Mercier and the cathedral
which the Germans used as an OBJ
servation post in their attack on
Antwerp.
All along the rs miles will be evil
dence of the bitter fighting in the
earliest days of the war, including
the completely wrecked forts at
Wavre, destroyed by the shells Of
the big Berthas, and the hundreds
CT graves of the fallen combatants.
The race probably will be run
