MOB WAITS GIRLS
ALLEGED SLAYERS
Posses Wrecks Train in Search
OF Suspects of Atrocious
Crime.

ST. ~ SNVILLE, Ohio. March 28.-
A me- of miners, many of whom were
reported to be armed and all mutter-
ing threats of vengeance, today are
awaiting the arrival at Adena, a small
town west OF here. of four negroes
suspected In connection with the bru-
tai murder there OF Frances South,
eleven, whose mutilated body was
found partly covered by leaves late
yesterday.
The negroes we're arrested at Sher-
rodsville after armed posses had
tramped the county all night bent on
lynching the girls assailants. The
men probably win be brought In au-
tomobile to .Adena, and 1t Nas report
ed that Sheriff w. T. Baker had fifty
special deputies in Adena t0 prevent
any harm coming to the captives.
When the news spread in Adena
last night that the suspects were in
custody inSherrodsville, an attempt
was made to seize a train on the
Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad.
This proved futile.
The coal mines in Adena and the
surrounding towns were reported to
be closed today. Nearly 1000 miners
were said to be~eongregated at the
scene of the murder.
Rumors that four negro suspects
were aboard a passenger train at
Ramsey last night caused a mob
there to attack the coaches. Windows
were broken and the train was
searched. The negroes were not
found. Later the mob learned the sus-
poets were confined in the Adena Jail,
and threats were made to march on
the place. The sheriff Immediately
rushed the prisoners away.
The South girl had been sent to q
drug store by her mother. When she
did not return after several hours a
search was made and the body was
found behind a tree. Footprints in
dicated that at least two men and
probably three attacked her. The
clothing was torn away from the
body which was badly mutilated.

Chief Regan Immediately gave or

BENSON TO BUILD
Up MARINE FLEET
Shipping Board Head Aids
Transfer of Hamburg-AmerI-
can Line to u. S. Men.

Admiral Benson. chairman of the
Shipping Board, will give full support
to the American steamship companies
which are to take over the trade
routes formerly served by the Ham
burg American lines.
Admiral Benson said today he would
not be Influenced by the action OF the
American Steamship Owners Asso-
citation. which passed yesterday a
resolution protesting against ships
flying the American flag taking over
the Hamburg-American business. He
said:
II am going ahead with this policy
of building up the American NOR
chant marine until | am stopped"
The Shipping Board is not to enter
directly into negotiations with the
agents of the Hamburg American
lines, but it's sanction is to be given
the contracts made by American COM
panies bidding for the former German
business.
Revives All Routes.
These contracts, when completed,
will effect probably the largest mari
time transfer in history. it was stated.
They involve the taking over under
rental plan of the great docks in
Hamburg. Germany.
The scheme contemplates the re-
vival of all the trade routes OF the
Hamburg-American companies. not
only to Europe, but to South America,
Africa and the Far East.
Admiral Benson completely dissi-
pated the principal cause of the pro-
test of the steamship owners when
he said that the terms of the agree
ment which will be sponsored by the
Shipping Board will insure against
the Germans ever being permitted to
run the Americans off these trade
routes Admiral Benson said the
agreement would include provisions
preventing the Hamburg American
lines from ever doing business on
better than $3.50 basis with Ameri-
can lines.

LONDON, March 26-The work
ers at Berlin have decided to renew
the general strike. according to the
Berlin correspondent of the Ex-
change Telegraph today.
The German trade unionists are
alleged to have taken the stand that
the making of numerous arrests OF
labor leaders by the government
military forces breaks the strike set
tlement agreement.
May Hold Up Cabinet.
The Exchange Telegraph states
that eleventh hour difficulties may
prevent the ratification of the new
German cabinet"
(The new German ministry was to
have been ratified by the German na-
tional assembly today)
No cenaramtion has been received
of the report from Berlin that Karl
Radek, emissary of Lenine. has re-
turned to Germany. although II is
generally believed that Russian Boil
sheviki are assisting the German reds
in the Ruhr district Radek was eX-
peeled from Germany by the Ebert
government because of his Bolshe-
vik activities among the workers, and
went to Moscow. During his stay at
Berlin he was in constant negotia-
tions with the Sparticist chiefs, and
when he departed he declared that
he would soon return to assist in the
establishment of a dictatorship by
the proletariat."
The reported truce between the
German government and the workers
in the Ruhr District evidently proved
a scrap of paper. for all reports agree
that fighting has continued with
great violence in that region.

.BOSSSCHOOLS
Extremist" Leaders Of Teach
ers' Union Control Situation,
Thurston Asserts.
BLAMED IN WOOD CASE
Tried to Dictate Appointments
of Principals, Claim Of
Superintendent.

Charges that the teachers union
has tried to dictate appointments in
the public schools, and has even
gone SO far as to draft a plan in
which absolute control OF the selec-
tion of principals would be given to
the teachers were made by Superin-
tendent Thurston before the Senate
subcommittee today.
IF that is true. we might as we'll
do away with superintendent and
boards of education" said Senator
Walsh.
Opposes A. +. of l.. Affiliation.
While advocating organiza ton OF
teachers "in defense OF their profess
sion" Superintendent Thurston de-
clared against affiliation of teachers
unions with the A. r. of l..
The radical element in the public
schools is in the union" said Mr.
Thurston. 81 do not mean that the
rank and file OF their membership are
radical. but their leaders are extrem-
lists and seem to have control OF the
situation.
Il have hoard 1t said that one OF
the leaders proclaims it as the first
principle of unionism that IL you
haven't an aggrievance, you must get
one" -..--.-.,. ,-.-1, .- t.s1 !. q.
, Superintendent Thurston declared
the High School Teachers Union was
directly responsible for the split in
the schools in the Wood case.
He declared Mr.. Van Schaick. pres
ident of the Board of Education, was
in constant touch" with. the union
leaders and frequently made remarks
such as Miss Deal (head of the High
School Teachers Union) wants this
thing to be done. What arc you going
to do about itT'
Superintendent Thurston was not
able to say whether he had known
that former District Commissioner
Newman had been a strong advocate
OF the formation OF the Teachers Un-
ion.
The leaders of the union have
worked with Van Schaick from the
start" said Mr.. Thurston. They
have been against the superintendent
of schools"
Explains His Position.
With reference to his own posi-
tion on the union Mr.. Thurston said:
II am friendly to union labor. I
have a janitors' union in the public
schools with which l work in entire
harmony. Teachers have the right,
and should have the right, for the
defense of their profession. When
their policy, however. seems to go be-
yond free control of the schools for
all the people, then 1 have been
against them"
Superintendent Thurston said that
the charter of the Teachers Union
here prevented any chance of a SYM
pathetic strike. He also said that the
intensely hostile attitude taken by
the union on the Wood case had rath-
er stiffened the board in it's original
decision in the case.
There has been a reaction In the
teachers body against the union"
said Superintendent Thurston. He
added, however, that the general lines
on which the local teachers union
was working was toward demo
cratising Of the schools" and that
he thoroughly approved Of this.
