COAL men FORCED TO
STAND FEDERAL TRIAL
Judge Holds Portions of Lever
Act Invalid, but Saves Much
of the indictment.

Indianapolis.-Thr sections Of the
Lever act were held unconstitutional
by United States District Judge An
derson in the Federal Court here, and
he quashed Is of the Is counts of the
indictment against 125 coal miners and
operators based on these sections In
ruling on the motion made on May 7
by Charles r. Hughes on behalf of the
miners to Quash the indictment. Five
counts, based on section 8 of the Lever
law, which the court held valid, were
declared operative and were not
Quashed by the judge. The counts
quashed were based on sections 3,
and 26 of the act and section 4 as
amended.
Later in the day Judge Anderson
overruled demurrer filed by former
Justice Hughes to the finding of the
court, pleas of not guilty were entered
by the attorneys for the defendants,
with five exceptions, and November 8
was set for the trial. Special pleas
previously had been entered by Carl J.
Fletcher Of Indianapolis, secretary Of
the Knox County Coal Operators AS
ISOLATION; M. ]. Gould of Indianapolis,
president of the Linton Coal Company /;
Jonas Waffle of Terre Haute, secretary
of the Indiana Coal Trade Bureau, and
H. w. Little of Terre Haute, secretary
of the Southern Indiana Coal Bureau.
Defendants In Illinois, Ohio and Mis-
souri, have brought proceedings to re-
sist being brought into court here, and
only defendants living In Pennsylvania
and Indiana were in court. Among
them was John T. Lewis. president Of
the United Mine Workers of America.
]. 9. Kolsem, Terre Haute operator,
was not in court because of illness, and
no plea was entered In his case.
The motion by former Justice
Hughes challenged the constitutional
ty of the Lever act principally on the
ground that it is vague and indefinite
and does not contain sufficient penalty
provisions. The sufficiency of the in
dictment also was challenged on the
ground that the coal business during
the time covered by the indictment was
governed by rules promulgated by
President Wilson.

 Is Contradictory

The death of Jessie Suspanich, F, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Jacob Su- pancich of Lowell, was caused by a collision between two automobiles Sunday night, according to a verdict given yesterday by d coroner's jury at Lowell. The jury made no at tempt to fix responsibility as the tes- timony adduced at the hearing was not of nature to make it clear wio was responsible.

PLAN DANCE TO HELP STUDENTS
 AT UNIVERSITY
High School Alumni Will Have Different Kind"
 of Entertainment

i At one of the liveliest meetings of
 the Bisbee High School Alumni as. sociation, held last night at the Cen. | tral school building, it was unani- mously decided to give a big dance ! at the Eagles hall on Friday, August l 20, in honor of the members of the association who will attend the uni versailles next month. Many sugges- tions were made as to the kind of dance that it should be and as the affair will be in the nature of rous- ing send-off to the university stu dents, it was decided to make the dance different from any that the as- sociation has ever given.
 The secondary object of giving the dance is to raise money for the stun dent loan fund. The association lends money to any graduate of Bisbee high school at four per cent interest on the students own, recogniZance and to be paid back into the fund when ever the student is able The asso- citation is already supporting sever- al students at different universities and colleges and it will probably send others this fall. The dance will be for members of the association and a long list of invited guests.
 A special invitation has been ex- tended to all students of the Univer- sity of Arizona who are working or visiting in the Warren District to at tend.
 The following chairmen of commit tees were appointed: Bob Thomas and Willie Wood, to write to Los An geles business houses for the things necessary to make this party differ ent;" Griffith J. Williams, music; Miss Edith Kennedy, refreshments; Bob Thomas, floor manager; Lestet Farrell, door; Miss Helen Hoesch, invitations; Harry Crockett and FL mer D. Hoesch, printing; J. Earl Twomey, decorations, and cleanup committee.
 All members of the association are asked to be at Eagle hall Thursday evening, August 19, to help decorate the hall An informal dance will fol low.
