Meanwhile, from 100000 to 100000

were being made almost hourly.
Railway union delegates reached
no decision on sympathetic strike

No Violence Today.
LONDON, Oct 21.-"Unless nego-
tiations to end the coal strike are in
stituted within twenty-four hours, the
issue will be between the government
and the working classes" Secretary
Robert Williams, of the transport
workers said today.
Williams made the Statement follow
ing the morning session OF transport
workers delegates. He is recognized
as one Of the radical leaders.
The attitude of the transport work
ers was more belligerent than that of
railway workers who adjourned
morning meeting without a decision.
Railway workers were said to plan
avoiding vote on the question OF a
sympathetic strike until every chance
of a settlement had been exhausted.
Failure Of the government and miners
to agree will mean a strike, it was
said.
Williams statement was taken to
mean his organization was inclined
to force action. He did not say wheth-
er he had assurance other labor bodies
would follow in division, the govern
ment and the working classes.
Aside from the meetings of the two
unions allied with the miners in the
triple alliance, there were few devel-
opments in the strike today. Lack OF
coal continued to shut down factories
and throw workers out OF employment
bnt there were no signs OF violence.

maniac, perhaps moral degenerate,
who lures women by sundry wiles,
attacks and then strangles, was
sought by the police today tn their
attempts to bring to justice the man
who murdered Mrs. Ruby Allen, OF
Mobile, Alabama, here yesterday.
Two men identified the body OF the
girl found murdered in the sKnicker-
booker hotel yesterday afternoon as
that of Mrs. Allen One of the men
was VIM. T. Diggins, chauffeur, also
from Mobile, who said he had known
the pretty young woman in the
southern city. He was deeply affected
when he viewed the body.
Police arrived at the theory that
the murder was done by some mani
acal stranger, after they had con-
ferred with detectives from Pied
mont, Calf, who. have been working
for two months, more or less Quietly,
sen the murder of Miss Ulla Carlson,
Piedmont housemaid, who was
strangled to death. Piedmont police,
until yesterday, were almost ready
to lay the murder at the door sof the
notorious "Blue Beard" Watson, now
serving for life in San Quentin. Cali
fornia, penitentiary after confessing
some ten murders. But the killing
of Mrs Allen was followed by their
announcement that the circumstances
of the two cases led them to see a
possibility that the same person
might have committed both crimes.
Man Found Dead.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21.-The
print of a won1an's slipper, remark
able for its tiny size, in the sands OF
the ocean beach near the San Mateo
county line, was the only clue on
which detectives could work today in
their efforts to solve the puzzle pre-
sented by the finding of the body of
a man, a bullet hole in the head,
lying dead on the beach.
A study OF the scene revealed the
track Of man and woman walking
about two feet apart. leading from
the nearby cliff to within thirty feet
of the waters edge. There the
tracks merged into a tangle of foot
prints which showed plainly there
had been struggle. Then the mans
tracks led down to the waters edge,
but the woman's were lost. Where
she went from there could not be
traced.
Police believed the man may have
been killed by the woman.

Peter Rabbit is not smart at all. He
would tell you that Peter is simply
lucky. SO it hurt Reddy's pride dread

All the way homo to the Old Pasture
Reddy kept trying to think of some
new plan BY which he might catch
Peter Rabbit When he reached home
Mrs. Reddy was sitting on the door

out of sorts, Reddy," said she. ut
must be that Peter Rabbit was too
smart for you again"
"He wasn't smart at ALL" snapped
Reddy. "1t was Mrs. Peter who saved
him, and not his own smartness." At
the mention Of Mrs. Peter sudden
thought popped into his head and
Reddy's face frightened. II tell you
what it is, my DEAR" said he, "if you

Expulsion of Turk
From Europe Urged
In Plea to Allies
American Committee for
independence of Armenia
Demands Relegation of
Sultan to Proper Sphere

"A message calling for the expulsion
OF the Turk from Constantinople was
sent yesterday to the people of Great
brltaln and France by the American
committee for the Independence of
armenia, composed Of prominent Amer
leans. The message, which declares
tne TURK always has ruled by sword,
massacre, outrage and pitiless persecu-
tion, follows:
FULLY conscious that almost all ma
tions are equally at fault in their fail
uTe 10 secure a righteous settlement in
tne Near East, yet having no shadow
OF doubt that the supreme tribunal, in
tnls as In all such matters, is the will
OF the people, we desire to unite our
voices with those in Great Britain and
France who are urging that the long
drawn-out shame of Europe and of hu-
ma,nlty be ended, that the Turk be ex-
PEELED from Constantinople and that
Armenia be made free within her ma
tional boundaries.
Five hundred years ago. before this
country was known to the Eastern
world, the Turk entered Europe with a
sword, with massacre, with outrage.
with pitiless persecution. He has
maintained himself there by these
means ever since. During the last five
SS"in ne mas exceeded, II thaC were
possible, the horror of the last five
centuries, and he is still committing
outrage on our common humanity even
as these lines are being written.
Five centuries of misgovernment
have proved him incapable of govern
ing. Five centuries of persecution
have proved him incapable of mercy.
Five centuries of deceit and corruption
have proved him incapable of fair
dealing.
"For the last hundred years he has
maintained himself where he is solely
by taking advantage Of the fears and
failings, the self-seeking and distrust
of those who, united, could have made
an end of him and his ways. This
committee urges that the will of the
people be no longer sacrificed to the
so-called exigencies of statecraft and
high finance but that the imperative
demands Of a clearer discernment of
principle gained by the people through
the sufferings of four and a half years
of war be met in the, expulsion Of the
Turk from Europe and his relegation to
state commensurate with his attain

Film Magnates Accused
Of Liberalizing Sunday
Republicans Jumped as Movie
Men Ordered, Is Charged Be-

ATLANTIC CITY, March 3.-Charges
that moving picture magnates of the
state conspired with the Republican
party to liberalize the Sabbath caused
CONSERVATION here to-day before the
opening of the eighty fourth annual
session of the New Jersey Methodist
Episcopal conference. Allegation made
by the Rev. Melville F.. Snyder, super
intendent of the Trenton district, re-
suited in pledges from $50 ministers
and lay delegates to fight to the last
ditch" the two Sunday amusement bills
now before the Legislature.
According to DR.. Snyder, the politi-
clans jumped under the snap Of the
whip of the moving picture men, who
threatened to boycott them unless the
party platform included pledges per-
mitting each community to decide for
itself the "open Sunday" questions,
bringing about a repeal of the old
"blue laws that have withstood the
assaults Of the liberals for years.
II have first-hand reliable informa-
ton that movie men told politicians
that no man would be permitted to
speak from their stage unless pledges
for liberal Sunday were forthcom-

candidates on screens were tabooed
until definite word was given as to
their stand on the ISSUE"

Reddy Fox was in bad temper as
he trotted toward his home up in the
Old Pasture. Once again he had failed
to catch Peter Rabbit. That was bad
enough, but to make matters worse
Blacky the Crow had found out about
it. Blacky has no love for Reddy Fox.
He never has had. He never will have.
Rcddy knew that Blacky would take
great delight in telling every one he
met how Peter and Mrs. Peter had been
too smart for him.
Now, if there is any one thing in
which Reddy Fox takes pride it is in
his reputation for smartness. He likes
to be considered the smartest of all
the little people who wear fur. If you

that bramble- -tangle isn't very big. If
one of US should crawl in there while
the other lay in wait outside we would
be sure to get those Rabbits. You see,
the one who went in would drive them
out, and once outside that bramble
tangle, what chance would they have =
Mrs. Reddy looked Interested. She
was interested. Like Reddy, she hadn't
known for long time what it felt like
to have full stomach. "Who is going
to crawl through that bramble-tangle 7"
she demanded.
"Why, thought you would, my dear, "
replied Reddy sweetly. "You are
smaller than /, and 1t would be much
easier for you"
Mrs. Reddy shifted scornfully. "Not
n1uch!" she snapped. IL think too
much of my fine, red cloak to risk
tearing it on those brambles. I really
think there is something in your idea,
Reddy, but you are the one who will
have to go Into that bramble- -tangle." "
From the decided way in which Mrs.
Reddy spoke Reddy knew that it was
of no use to argue. He sighed. Cali
right, my dear, it's just as you say"
said he. "Ill GO in and drive them out.
l guess a Rabbit dinner will be worth
few scratches and tears. Let's go
down there at once"
