FIRING IN MINE STRIKE
 -. ZONE IN WEST VIRGINIA

Williamson, W. Va, Dec. 12.-Sporadic firing this morning into the Lick Creek tent colony of striking miners near Will Hanson from the mining village across the river at Ajax, Ky, was reported to David Fowler, international representative in charge of the Mingo district strike. this afternoon. The matter WIS referred to .the military authorities controlling the district and an investigation started inn mediately. There were no casualties re- ported, Fowler said.
 The investigation of the sanitary condi- tions of the colony by state health author ities is regarded with indifference by un- ion officials here, although they declared they were prepared to give aid and CO., operation to the state in making the in- vestigation. A safe and sane" way to help striking miners in the tent colonies, if the state is inclined to investigate the conditions, Fowler declared, would be for Governor Cornwell to compel the coal op- orators 'sto sit at a conference table" to settle the strike.
 Charged with having been implicated in the death of Burrnan Hatfield, a Mingo county deputy sheriff, whose body was found just across the Mcdowell county line on July 14, five men were arrested at War Eagle today and brought to the Min go county ~. here. At the sheriff's of- fee it was said two more arrests would be- made tomorrow in connection with Hatdeld's death.

ASSEMBLY OF THE L. OF N.
 TO SPEED UP BUSINESS

Geneva, Dec 12.-(By The A P.)- The fifth week of the assembly of the league of nations iy expected to begin with. a big burst of speed in effort to clean up the business and permit of the delegates getting away before next Sun day
 The debates on almost every question have been drawn out far beyond antici- pations, but with the approaching two sessions each day, it is hoped that time will be found for all the delegates to de- liver the speeches which have been tuck ed away in their pockets.
 Every effort to shorten debate by limit ing the number of speakers on each sub ject has meent with stern resistance. The international court will be the first big question of the week. The committee finally has reached an agreement on their report concerning this question, but as past experience has proved on other questions, an agreement in committee does not generally indicate an agreement on the floor of the assembly. Hope is ex- pressed, however, that this, committees es report will be disposed of tomorrow.
 While the assembly thus far has wealth ed it's most critical phases, there Is q feeling that the last week may develop a very dangerous situation, and 'su- preme effort is being made in the general committee of the assembly to avoid an issue on the Bolivian-Chilean t reaty question.
 Int order to put the question on the or der of the day a two-thirds vote of the assembly is required. After a question is 1 inscribed on the order of the day foul days must elapse before the question may be brought up, and consequently there is intense effort to obtain imme diate actionn in the committee of the as | sembly, which will meet Monday after noon.

Boston. Dec. 12-The statement that eighteen hundred persons had been ar rested and TOO Hquor-carrying automo- piles seized by flying squadron of. 80 federal prohibition enforcement officers since July l in their efforts to break up illicit transportation of liquor between New York and Boston was made today by William J.

 Automobiles with special tank com partments for acconln. .odation of liouor. piano cases, orange crates and furniture vans were mentioned by Mr. Mccarthy as among the most popular ways of nov ing licuor. Tanks concealed within seat cushions and behind the upholstering of sedan cars have been discovered. he said Most of the cars contain gaso- line tank of two compartments, one of which is filled with liquor and women are said to be carried as passengers in an attempt to conceal the real errand of the automobiles
