BARBER ARRESTED
0NLARCENY CHARGE

Peter Prophet. a barber at Gil C.
street northwest, is under arrest to-
day on a charge Of larceny after trust
made by his sister-in-Iaw. Mrs
Antonio Terisi, of 1904 Sixth street
northwest
Mrs. Terisi claims that no the death
Of her husband last fall she came in
possession of $1,000 and with Prophet
she went to a local bank to desposit
it. On their arrival at the bank, it
was found that 500 had disappeared
from the roll. which Prophet explained
perhaps had been lost.
Detectives Scrivener and Kelly, who
arrested Prophet yesterday, declared
that $500 was deposited in bank as
q joint account.
The woman later sought the advice
or lawyer as to the disposition of
the money, and the lawyer advised
that the money be deposited in her
name. 1t was later discovered, the
detectives say, that the money had
been deposited in Prophets name.
Needing $500 OF the funds, the
woman went to Prophet and asked
to have that amount drawn from the
bank. Prophet is alleged to have de-
clared he did not receive Mrs. Terisi's
funds, and a warrant was sworn out
for his arrest.

claims were arising from the ranks
OF mine strikers and coal operators
today
Operators admitted every union

$1,000 men at work there, producers
said their forces were being augment
ed. and that now more than 30 600
miners were working in Fayette and
Westmoreland counties.
The Clearfeld district remained
closed, according to both sides, hut
operators declared there was a tend
ency among many men to return to
work

ing the coal strike were encamped
today at Brownsville, on the edge Of

W. VA. OPERATORS
EXPECT VICTORY

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Nov. A.
With breaks reported in the striking
coal miners ranks in the northern
part of the State, operators of mines
in the paralyzed districts, who gath
cred here today to discuss conditions,
were confident that there would soon
be a return to normal.
The mines which resumed were only
of small capacity, and in number of
them the forces were so small there
was no attempt at production.
The operators received word today
that West Virginia yesterday pro-
duced about half its usual tonnage of
coal. Rains and floods in some of the
non-union fields were responsible for
keeping down the output.
After their meeting today the oper-
ators will extend a general invitation
to the miners to return to work, and
It was expected some OF the larger
mines soon will be operating again.

day, just after he emphasized that not

are at work, except those authorized
by the union.
Mr.. Harrington reviewed the entire
strike situation. He talked freely,
as the Indianapolis restraining in
junction had not as yet been served
on him. Neither has il been served
on any of the other Illinois State
union heads. The writs, however, are
expected mOmentarily.

disposed Of before that time, one of
the most talked about issues is pro-
hibition.
By November. 1920. the nation will
be ready to say whether it likes
bone-dryness, and il there is any
widespread popular agitation for re-
lief, that is expected to be one of the
foremost points of contention. The
drys, according to information in
Washington, want to get control Of
the Democratic party and make it the
great prohibition party.
William Jennings Bryan is said to
be interested in this move, hut all re-
ports in this connection emphasize
that Bryan has no political motives
for himself. and there is a belief that
he favors Josephus Daniels, secretary
of the navy, as a dry candidate.
Neither Daniels nor Bryan, however.
is much talked about except when the
dry issue Is discussed.
Champ Clark May Run.
Champ Clark has many supporters.
Recently. during a bit Of repartee in
the House, he indicated that he might
be an aspirant This attracted wide
attention and comment according to
Information here. Those who discount
his chances say his age Is against
him, that he is too old to be Presi-
