GUNMAN SOUGHT
IN BROWN CASE
Attorney General Directs New
Effort to Clear Michigan
Clubman's Murder.

MT CLEMENS, Mich, Jan. 3.-De-
tectives working directly under the at
torney general today began following a
new trail In the Investigation into the
murder of J. Stanley Brown, wealthy
young clubman, whose bullet Scared
body was found on a lonely road near
here ten days ago.
The attorney general ordered that
with whom it Is believed Brown had
dealings shortly before his death. Brown
is reported to have carried on ais per
son at the time approximately $4,000 in
travellers checks, payable to bearer and
easily negotiable.
This new angle to the mysterious case
is looked upon with considerable inter
est as 1t leads entirely away from all
those who are now figuring prominently
in the case-Cecil Vester, Cecil of the
Auburn Hair" who is in Jail charged
with Browns murder Lloyd Provost, an
intimate friend Of Browns, who is held
as a suspect, and Ruth Provost Brown,
the widow.
The inquiry so far has developed some
incriminating evidence against Mrs
Brown, who is also Prevosts cousin
The latest bit of this is the assertion
of Mrs. George Schwartz, a local dress
maker, that Mrs. Brown came to her a
week before her husbands murder and
ordered mourning costume
Mrs. Ruth Brown, whose rearrest was
ordered by States Attorney Groesbeck
yesterday, was released on an order from
that official after she had been examined
by the authorities for the third time,

ENGLAND FEARS
COAL SHORTAGES
FOR TEN YEARS

LONDON, Jan. 3.-England expects to
face near-famine coal supplies Tor at
least ten more years.
C. Faston-Grey. mine expert, points out
that It takes twelve years to develop a
British mine to production capacity OF
one million tons yearly, and that Tor
five years during the war very few new
mines were opened.
Consequently, he says, mines now being
worked soon viii begin to peter out.
During the war there was neither Ia
Dor nor capital available for keeping
British coal mining up to standard.
Even repairs and proper development OF
existing coal mines were retarded. Con
seouently, national coal production fell
off some 0O00 900 tons annually.
Britain is relying to a great extent on
coal exports to help pay OF the war
debt and to keep the pound sterling at
the top of all European exchanges.
To do this home consumption Of coal
has been restricted. And that's the fu-
ture outlook also for nome consumers.
Mr.. Easton- Grey estimated that mine
development work totahng S2OOOOO,OO
should have been carried on during the
war, but was not
Summarizing the situation Mr.. Easton-
Grey says:
"When II is remembered that coal Ia
among the two or three most important
materials with which we pay our debts
10 foreign countries for the vest quaint
ties of raw materials and food they send
us. It will be readily seen that the sup
ply and price not only of coal, but OF
other equally necessary commodities, VIII
very largely depend on the rate at which
we can now sink new pits and bring up
the coal"

Running Butterfly
Farm Near London

LONDON, Jan. "a butterfly farm
sounds like the dream Of a small boy,
but at least one such farm exists in
the neighborhood of London. 1t is run
by L. W. Newman of Salisbury road,
Bexley.
IF 10 per cent of the butterfly eggs
laid in the winter were hatched out,
every tree and plant in England woul6
be stripped Of its leaves" said Mr.. New
man to a Daily Express Representatives
"As 1t is, only per cent gre hatcheo,
but a successful butterfly farmer can
raise 90 per cent.
Shrubs and small trees, covered with
gauze Yelling, form the homes at the
Bexley farm Of the caterpillars, which
on their transformation into butterflies
and moths are transferred to glass
houses.
II sell an enormous number" added
Mr.. Newman, mostly the common white
species, for experimental purposes for
testing insect killing sprays. Butterflies
Of all kinds are also In great demand
for educational purposes, but chiefly for
collectors, who have increased In number.
Butterflies can sometimes be kept as

Hold Up Pact Until After
Jan. 13.

PARIS. Jan. 3.-Signlng of the pro-
tocol and final exchange of ratifcations
probably will not take place sooner than
Jan. 13. it was indicated today.
The plan to complete the long peace
negotiations on Jan. virtually has been
given up, it was said, owing to the III
ness Of Kurt Won Lersner, the German
emlssary, and the fact that Premier Glen
enceau is on a vacation.
Interest in Paris had shifted somewhat
from the treaty negotiations to the atti-
tude of Clemenceau toward accepting the
presidency.
Latest advices here said he had CON
sented to become an honorary member
Of the senate, but still refused to an
nounce whether he would be a presiden-
tial candidate.
BERLIN, Jan. 3-No more peace
notes will be sent to the allies by Ger
many, according to foreign office officials

VACCINE ORDER
KEEPS CHILDREN
OUT OF SCHOOL

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 3-Activtties
Of the South Carolina board OF health
In enforcing the compulsory vaccination
laws Of the state are about to break up
the schools" OF Lee county. according to
statements contained in correspondence
between J. T. Munnerlyn. county super
intendent Of education, and the office Of
the state attorney general. SO persistent
has been the effort to force vaccination
that attendance IN the public schools OF
the county have been seriously impaired
The trouble arose from an order Of
the state board of health requiring the
revaccination OF all public school pupils
in Lee county. Mr.. Munnerlyn addressed
a communication to the state attorney
generals department seeking TO learn
whether the state health officials had
authority to compel the vaccination or
revaccination OF both teachers and pupils
without consultation with local authori
ties, or to compel them to discontinue
school attedance for failure to be yacci
mated
Morris c. Lumpkin, assistant attorney
general. making reply TO the county su-
perintendent, cited existing statutes
which he interprets as giving the state
health authorities absolute power among
other things In the matter OF vaccina-
ton of the citizens Of the state"
This power may be exercised, it was
further declared, regardless of the in
roads 1t may be making upon school at
tendance. 1t was cited also that a fine
Of 500 or Imprisonment OF thirty days
"must' be imposed upon those whip fail
TO comply with the orders or regulations
established by the state board OF health.
Mr. Lumpkin added, however, "Of
course, II the absolute power so vested
in the state health authorities is abused,
such officer or officers as abuse the law
will be liable therefor when their ac-
tons are properly challenged and they
themselves are brought to account in a
proper judicial tribunal Of the state, but
until this abuse is shown, the good faith
Of their actions may not be questioned "
