 in Hiding Place

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 22.-U. s. Marshal J. P. Dillon today made pub lie details of the capture of James Pruitt, former saloon keeper at Win. kelman. who was apprehended last Friday in a mountainous region near Mammoth, AriZ., on a bench warrant issued by Judge William H. Sawtelle of the United States district court. Marshal Dillon said Pruitt and Lee Marvill had been operating a distil- lery at their mountain hiding place. Pruitt was arrested at Nogales last August on warrant charging viola tion of the federal law in connection with the smuggling and sale of naP cotics from Mexico. He was releas- ed on $3000 bond and delayed the trial by asking that Marvill be sought as witness.

 The still was located after a 30- hour search, according to Marshal Dillon. It was found to be of 150 gal Ions capacity and had been worked to capacity, the United States mar shal said. A barrel of peach brandy was found.

 to the Presidency

MINNEAPOLIS. Dec. 22.-Repre- sentative Thomas D. Schall of Min nesota, denounced General John J. Pershing, in an address today. He declared that General Pershing is seeking the presidency of the United States and is absolutely unfit for the office."
 "I have felt it my duty to do what I could to thwart the ambitions of this man." he said. Representative Schall was the only member of con- gross to vote against conferring the full rank general on General Persh- ing.
 My objection to reWarding Persh- ing with full generalship was not that it would foster militarism. but it would be rewarding an unworthy of ficer, an un-American, unrepresenta- tive officer"
 Mir Schall said General Pershing was 'inhuman and cruel" and that he censored information that went from France to America to his own advant- age. He also attacked General Persh- ing for his alleged ''snub" of the con gressional committee that went to France.

Attorney General Says Way Will Be Found to Make Operators Keep Faith" SAYS NEW STRIKE IS
 TO BE EXPECTED Frelinghuysen Denounc e s Purchase of Obedience
 tc the Law"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Senatoi Frelinghuysen, chairman of the sen ate committee Investigating the coal situation, in a formal statement to- night declared that in the govern ment's negotiations there must have been some sort of a secret deal made in addition to the signed statement.
 Senator Frelinghuysen reviewed the testimony adduced by the com- mittee hearings to date and added that out of the settlement of the strike, "in any event the public may look for an increase in the price of coal or another strike
 The New Jersey senator character ized the settlement proposition as pn. forth by Attorney General Palmer and accepted by the miners as -'a loaded dice for the American pub lie"
 Attorney General Palmer, in statement tonight denied the assel- tions made yesterday by the oper- ators whose position he characteriz- ed as "the merest bubble and< quite unworthy of the representatives of a great industry.
 contradicts Operators
 Their allegation now" continueu MT. Palmer, "that they were not con- suited about the form of the memor- andum. which was submitted to the miners conference, is absurd.
 .sThe goyernment will not assume that the operators will break faith, and, indeed, ways will be found to keep faith in this vital important transaction. The commission VIII proceed with its work and l have no doubt that upon further reflection the operators will see the wisdom or hearty cooperation with it"
 Praising the stand taken by Dr. ii. A Garfield, who recently resigned as fuel administrator because Of the disagreement with the strike settle .ment, Senator Frelinghuysen said:
 "The present plan, which incurred the hostility of Dr. Garfield and caused his resignation, is acceptable to the miners because it opens the door to further QeuldhuS dhu ANA N0- wage increases, which the public must pay. The miners are expecting' that additional raise as a result or this agreement
 There must have been some se- cret deal, in addition to the signed agreement. In any event. the pubic may look for an increase in the price of coal or another strike.
 "There was vital principle Ill volved in this contest, and that wasl ignored in the settlement Of thls' strike. namely, shall the law be su- nreme or shall an organization a class. hold itself above the law ana refuse obedience thereto, when its selfish interests come in conflict with the public good?
 "It will be a sad day for America ;f obedience to the law must be pur- chased in this manner. I am opposed to such a proposition and believe the American people are opposed to it."
