ton men do not want to attend meet figs held in Berlin ai the Town han. This man is Kensington man and says that there are more of his "Buddies" who belong to the legion than there are in Berlin and as long as the St. Paurs T. A. B. society has offered the commander of the local post the use of the Tabs hall free of charge. he doesn't see why the offer was not accepted.
 The post was formed about Ge time the other towns and cities were forming theirs The local branch was named in honor of Richard Bol- ton and MT. Kasica, who were both kiued overseas. At the time of the formation there were so members. There are never over fifteen or twenty at the called meetings. Alfred A. Barrett, postmaster of the Berlin post office. was elected as the com mander.
 When see in regard to the situa- ton Mir. Barrett said that he has called several meetings but very few men have ever showed up so that it was useless to try and get them to- gether. He also said that he be- lieved they should have never laid off during the summer, as last winter they were very active and had as strong an organ'g1tion as the one existing in Plainville today.

 Appeal From Church.
 An appeal is being made by the Ecclesiastical society of the Second Congregational church for money to be given every other Sunday for the expenses of the church. The ap- peal sent out is as follows:
 The Second Congregational church of Berlin wishes to give everyone an opportunity to assist in its public worship.
 The receipts from pew rents are insufficient by many hundreds of dol lars to meet the annual expenses of the church. Therefore the collec- tion taken at,.the morning service of every other Sunday. is devoted to Home expenses"
 The plan of "systematbc giving" which this church has. used for sev- eral years. and which has served so we'll thus far, is to be continued for 1921. It has been successful, not so much by the size of any single pledge. as by ihe number of pledges secured 1t enablsss all, even those whose means are limited, to share in maintaining the church that serves us all. Let us all give accordi1.. 10 our ability and thus avoid a church debt

KANSAS INDUSTRIAL COURT LAW UNDER FIRE FROM MINERS Injunction Case Against Alex ander Howatt Involves
 It's Validity. JUDGE TAKES PART
 FROM THE BENCH In Unique Precedent, Judge Curran Declares the Law Is Forward Looking Piece of Legis-
 lature

Pittsburg, Kan, April 27.--Sixteen witnesses were questioned today at the hearing in, district court here ot the application of state officials for a temporary injunction to restrain President Alexander M. Howat and other officers of the Kansas Mine Workers union from calling strike in violation of the new state indus trial relations court law.
 When the hearing adjourned late today it was announced that final arguments on the application would begin tomorrow.
 F. 5. Jackson, attorney for the industrial relations court, announced that the state would ask that the injunction be made permanent, if the temporary injunction was granted.
 Preliminary arguments by the at torneys, who included Frank P. Walsh of Kansas City, representing the miners, consumed the morning session. District Judge A. J. Cur ran, who recently committed Howat and three other union leaders to jail for their refusal to testify before the industrial court, took part from the bench, situation said to have been unique in judicial history.
 Judge Curran said in advance he was not deciding. the case in ad- vance, but merely expressing his personal opinion with regard to the industrial court law. which he term ed "the most forward piece of legis- lation that has been enacted in the history of the state" Continuing, he declared he would be surprised if at the end of five years the miners are not among those most heartily in favor of it.
 MT. Walsh answering Judge Cur ran saidd he predicted that within five years those behind the indus trial court law would be defeated and out of office through the action or labor. ...

Scientist Declares Space
 and Time Huue Structure
 Similar to Things Material

Washington, April 27.-An entirely new theory of the structure of mat ter was presented today at the con- cluding session of the annual gath ering of the National Academy of Sciences by Dr. Irving Langmuir of the General Electric Company re- search laboratory.
 Explaining that his conclusions lead to new conception of energy, force; time, space, magnetism and all the general properties of matter, pr. Langmuir asserted that "space and time have a structure analogous to that of matter"
 Heretofore, the speaker said, the usual conception of the relative or der of the components of matter has been atoms, electrons, molecules and particles. His observations add q new division smaller even than the atom which he has named the "quan- tetl."
 It consists of two parts he said, positive and negative, present every where in space, moving in all direc- tions with the velocity of light and capable of passing through matter. They constitute, he added, what has heretofore been known as the "ether of space" and causes all of the phe- nomena of light, electricity, mass and energy.
 Much interest was manifested to- day in Dr. R. H. Goddard's elabora- ton of his theory concerning the use
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1920-04-28

of multiple charge, high efficiency rockets in exploring the far reaches of the air and it's application to reather forecasting.
 Dr. Goddard declared it would be possible to project meteorological in- struments to height of little over six miles in this way and record pres sure, temperature, wind velocity and moisture for the purpose of predict ing surface weather conditions many miles distant.
 A number of such observations by rockets. taken simultaneously at widely separated points, would make possible the operation of a great weather map, representing condi- tions at definite high elevation, comparable with surface conditions, which would be very valuable to avi- ators he declared.
 The Henry Draper gold medal, awarded to Alfred Fowler of the Inn perial College, England, for Gre searches in celestial and laboratory spectroscopy," was presented to Sir Auckland Geddes, the British am bassador, on behalf of the recipient tonight at the annual dinner of the society. Announcement was made at the same time of the award to Her. bert Hoover of the Academy Medal for eminence in the application of science to the public welfare. A let ter of thanks from MT. Hoover was read

LIND RELATES HIS EFFORTS 10 FORCE
 HUERTA TO RETIRE
Former Special Ambassador Tells of His 1913
 Visit

Washington, April Z1.-JOhn Llnd former governor of Minnesota, de scribed today to the senate commit tee Investigating Mexican affairs his 1913 efforts as a special emissary of President Wilson to get the late Victoriano Huerta to abdicate. MT Lind refused to detail conversations with the Mexican chief or instruc- ticns given him by the president ex- cept as they were outlined in print ed memoranda which he submitted.
 "My object, according to my in- structions, was to bring about an ad- justment between the contendine powers," he said, "that the country could have peace, and defacto gov ernment be set up which the Unit ed States could recognize.
 "That involved the elimination of Hureta, did it not ?" He was asked
 "Not necessarily" MT. Lind re- sponded. He referred to President Wilson's memorandum, published a, the time, which suggested general armistice and an election at which Huerta would not be candidate American financial aid for Mexico was promised.
 "We wanted to get free and fair election" MT. Lind Continued "Huerta rejected all propositions declaring that the Carranza forces were rebels"
 Americans in Mexico at the time he said, wanted Huerta recognized Tkoco Il k,,r l,r added. desired intervention by the United States, while "the American mining interests in the north were against it."
 Though I'll admit that the strug- gle for power among a few is to some extent the cause of Latin American disorganization," Mr. Lind said, "the primary cause, it seems to me. are social and economic.
 The tropical plantations owned by Americans, l saw men working all most as slaves, guarded by men with revolvers and whips, and locked up at night. The mines in the north and commercial enterprises were run in different fashion,"
 Don't you think American influence and ideas has gone far towards ame- liorating these conditions of Mexi- can labor" the winess was asked
 |'I don't think the influence o1 Americans has gone far in the south," MT. Lind replied.
 "I think more has been done by Mexican workmen who have lived in the United States.
 Discussing geheral conditions in Mexico, MT. Lind said the "policy of the Catholic church has not been to foster education in Mexico"
 "1ll not assume to say what its policy is,' he said. "The fact is education has not been fostered"
 Did you report that elimination of the Catholic church in Mexico was necessary" asked Francis J. Rear. full, counsel for the committee. "No sir"
 "Did you say to Nelson O'Shaugh. messy, charge d'affaires of the Amer. ican embassy, that the Catholic church was responsible for conditions in Mexicow
 q did not, I have said-and I say now-that it is unfortunate that those in position in power in the Catholic church of Mexico have not devoted more effort to popular edu- cation."
 "Did you obtain much of your in. formation about Mexican conditions religious and otherwise from Pro. testant missionaries ?"
 "I studied all sources of informa. ticn. Not any one exclusively"

 National Law on
 Industrial Rows

Washington. April 27.-Adoption on by the federal government of some plan similar to that in use in Kan sas for the adjustment of labor dis putes was urged tonight by Gov, Henry J. Allen of that state, a can. didate for the presidency in an ad- dress at the National Press club.

.F|GHT OVER MEANS
 OF RAISING BONUS MONEY GROWS WARM
Insurgent Republicans Want War Profits to Bear
 Brunt

Washington, April 27-The fight two billion dollars for the soldier relief legislation precipitated an all- day debate in the House today dur ing which the Republicans on one side and the combination of Demo- crats and Insurgent Republicans on the ether explained their proposals.
 Representative Johnson, Republi- can of South Dakota, announced that seventy-five Republican "Insurgents" favored a retroactive "war profitsY tax instead of "sales tax" proposed by Republican leaders. His state ment, if borne out later, would indi- cate an upset of the Republican pro- gram for passing the bill Monday without permitting action on the "war profits" tax proposal. Representa- tive Garner of Texas, predicted that the result of the Republican caucus next Friday night would be to "whip" the Insurgents into line.
 MT. Johnson and Representative Henry T. Rainey. Democrat of Illi- nois, introduced during the day the "war profits" tax bill, which would place an eighty per cent levy on the increase of net income during the last four years over that of the pre-war period. The plan was attacked by Representatives Green, Iowa, and Longworth, Ohio, Republicans.
 Without giving the details, MT. Longworth said, the Republican plan for raising the money proposed a fiye-fold scheme of taxation.
 Besides the levy on sales, which he said, "would not raise much" Mr. Longworth said all stock exchange transactions were to be taxed, while the existing levies on tobacco, in comes and real estate sales were to be included. He also announced that officers of the rank of captain or below in the army and of correspond ing grades in the navy would receive the benefits of the relief legislation as we'll as the enlisted men.
 Representative Frear, Republican of Wisconsin, advocated third plan for raising money, providing for in- creased income taxes during 1919, 1920 and 1921, tax on stock divi- dends issued this year and new taxes on automobiles, theatre admission and real estate sales.
