BELIEVE GIRL DIED
: DEFENDING HONOR
Police Hold Man Who Paid Un-
expected Visit to Home
OF Victim.

WARREN, Ohio. April zo.-The
theory that Olive Thompson, a seven
teen-year-old high school studen'
found dead in her home with a rltie
bullet through her heart, ended her
own life gained strength when Chlei
OF Police Barney Gillen stated that
he had found evidence that young
man now detained by the police had
left the Thompson house the day De-
fore while the girl was alive.
The youth admitted, the police say
that he forced his attentions upon the
girl and declared she ran screaming
from him to the upstairs part OF the
house Just before he left.
The Girl remained at home TO care
for the house while other members
OF the family were absent. About IL
o'clock in the morning the YOUTH
who was working nearby, raped at
the door, according to the police, ana
gained admittance. What transpired
thereafter has not been determined
precisely.
DIR. J. c. Henshaw. county coroner,
who performed an autopsy, said he
would not make public the result or
his examination until tomorrow.
A theory advanced Is that the girl
died while fighting for her honor.

the description which resulted in the
young mans arrest say there was no
indication OF anything wrong In the
house at any time during the youths
stay. When the girls brother re-
turned home at Q o'clock he found
her body across his bed with his rifle
at her side.
Members of the family say she had
no motive for such an act unless II
was provided by the young mans

NEW YORK. April 26.--After ses-
sions lasting several weeks the con-
ference OF anthracite operators and
the sub-scale committee of the United
Mine Workers on a new hard coal
working agreement was nearly at an
end today. Adoption OF a new agree
ment within the next two days or an
open split In the ranks OF the miners
loomed as a strong possibility.
The miners. having stripped their
demands to the bone, are hopeful that
the operators will grant their closed

discussions have hinged thus far.

JOHNSON SUPPORTERS
CLAIM new JERSEY

NEW YORK. April 2s.-''New Jer-
sey will be carried for Hiram w.
Johnson at tomorrow's primaries. A
majority of the twenty-eight dele
gates to Chicago will certainly favor
his nomination for the Presidency"
This forecast was made last night
by Al Joy, personal representative of
the California candidate, after
thorough canvass of the State. He
said:
First of all. every friend of John
son should arrange to go to the polls
early. In the big cities. generally.
they open at p. m. and close at 10
ID. m. In~-Atlantic City and some
country districts the polls open about
noon.
I'VE expect to elect Mulford L. Bal
lard and Thomas r. Layden. our can
didates for delegates-at-lar and
practically all of our nine Congress
sional district candidates.
THE split between the Wood man
ayers and the regular Republican or
ganization led by Senators Freling-
huysen and Edge gave johnson sup
porters splendid chance to carry
the State.
Everywhere that Senators John
son, Borah, Kenyon and Congressman
Nolan and others of our speakers have
appeared they have been received
with tremendous acclaim. Senator
Johnson in one day addressed nearly
ten thousand cheering voters. Sen
ators Borah, Kenyon and others have
addresses many times ten thousand.
The fact that New Jersey is
President Wilson's home State made
the outpourings for Johnson the
more remarkable and significant.
"Wood managers have tried to ar
ray eX-service men against johnson.
They failed. The story that former
war veterans deliberately bolted a
Borah meeting at Newark is false.
Everywhere Senator Johnson has
been greeted by the boys who fought
in France and assured of support.
Senator Johnson supported the
eighteenth amendment. Yet Wood
managers are denouncing him as pro-
German and wet in anti-German
and dry districts and as a dry anst
anti-German in wet and German dis
tricts.
Senator Johnson has consistently
advocated simple Amcricanism free
speech, a free press and the right
of assembly as guaranteed by the
Constitution.
In New Jersey the Senator stands
FOR the same issues that enabled him
to sweep North Dakota, a part OF
Minnesota, Michigan, Nebraska, Mon
tana, and a part of Illinois. After
Tuesday the Senator's opponents will
have to look for another pivotal

LEGION MEN ON STRIKE DUTY
Ex-SerVice Boys Aided in Maintaining
Order in Recent Disturbance at
Denver, Colo.

American Legion men have again
played part in maintaining law and
order during strike, without taking
part in the controversy. During the
disturbance in Denver which accom-
panied the tramway walkout, Legion
naireS extended their assistance in
directing traffic, patrolling the resi-
dence district and doing general
guard duty. In the course of this
service one Legionnaire was ATTACKED
by thugs and badly beaten.
The Legionnaires were modified for
duty Immediately following receipt Of
an appeal from Governor Shoup. A
statement was issued declaring that
the Legionnaires will be used in no
capacity except the maintenance of
law and order in the community, and
not in any manner bearing upon the
controversy between the tramway COM
pany and its employees ... ....
That this decision was adhered to is
indicated in editorial comment by Den
yer newspapers which cOmplimented
the veterans on their usefulness. "The
American Legion made it perfectly
clear that it was out for the purpose
of maintaining law and ORDER" said
one paper, while another asserted that
Denver owes him (fhe Legion MANI
an everlasting debt of gratitude"
A number of persons were killed and
injured In riots during the strike.

Tree PLANTING.

The government is making an earn
st effort to induce many of the states
to plant trees on a wholesale scale
and in some measure restore their
original wealth. There are thousands
Of acres lying idle, even in such pOpu-
lous states as New York and Pennsyl
vania which can be made to yield mil
lions of dollars every year if planted
with trees. 1t is pointed out that al
though the Eastern states once pos
sessed more than enough trees for
their own use they must now import
lumber from the Pacific coast, of
course, at great expense.-B0ys' Life.
