MINERS STICK
BY AGREEMENT
Fuss Kicked Up by Radicals
Not Sufficient to Alarm
Ohio Session.

COLUMBUS. o., Jan. 6.-Conservatives
among the 1000 miner delegates in ses-
sion here at the United Mine Workers Of
America convention, were confident today
that the strike settlement action of in
ternational officers would be indorsed.
The radicals clicked up" a fuss late
Monday afternoon, but it was not suf-
fcient to cause alarm.
Many of the delegates are ready to
stand back of the agreement made with
the government by Acting President John
L. Lewis and William Green, secretary
treasurer, but they want some definite
information to carry back to their
locals
Some delegates voiced the belief that
the miner officials should have gone to
jail rather than submit to the demands
of the government.
Putting Lewis and Green in Jail would
not have gotten results, declared J. C.
Lewis, president of the Iowa district. He
raped Fuel Director Garfield as "an
autocrat and a tyrant." Lewis urged
the unanimous adoption Of the officials
report
A number of the delegates urged the
convention hold the report of the inter
national officers until President Wilson's
commission has reported. They want the
miners convention to convene again to
consider the awards of the commission.
All of today and tomorrow are ex-
pected to be taken up by the committee
in discussing the motion made by Dele
gate Philip Murray of the Pittsburg
district to indorse the action Of miners
officials in settling the strike.

DEFENDANT IN
CRUELTY TRIAL
NAMES J. WEIR
Heard Several Times LeMans
Judge Advocate Planned to
Get Him, He Says.
COURT-MARTIAL HALTED

NEW YORK, Jan. Capt. Karl
Deter today named Capt. John Weir
of Indianapolis as the man back Of
the alleged "frameup" to convict
him of inhuman treatment of military
prisoners while he was head Of the
department of criminal investigation
in the American army camp at Le-
Mans, France.
Detzer's statement came after
many intimations by the witness that
charges against him were a frame
up" An immediate recess was or
dered while officers in charge con-
ferred.
Weir, who Deter said is the son Of
former Judge Clarence Weir of Indian
apolis and himself an attorney, is as
sistant judge advocate at the trial
JUDGE ADVOCATE
HALTs INVITATIONS.
Maj. W. H. Kelly, trial Judge advo-
cate, told Deter it was. time for him
to substantiate his intimations Of frame
up and ordered the accused to tell any
thing he wanted to.
Deter said bis troubles began at the
time the congressional committee was In
France investigating conditions in the
American expediuonary force. That was
in March, 1919.
Agents Of the committee questioned
many prisoners about treatment in the
prison camps, Deter said, and as a re-
suit the men got the idea they were
martyrs" He said from that time on
it was impossible to do anything with
prisoners.
JAILS HOTBEDS
OF ANARCHY.
THE guardhouses and jails OF the
American expeditionary forces became
hotbeds of anarchy Detzer asserted.
The captain said he heard several times
that Weir, who was then Judge advo.
cate at LeMans, was planning to get
him. He said Weir's agents questioned
prisoners in Detzer's camp and took their
statements as fact without giving him
u chance to testify.
Detzer formerly was sporting editor
of a Ft. Wayne newspaper.

tion of William o. Jenkins that his bond

1t is no longer secret that Warren

The men to be questioned before In

FIRE DAMAGES
MUSICCONCERN
Flames Attack Carlin Com
pany's Storage Room With
$4,000 Estimated Loss.

Damage estimated at $4,000 was caused
by fire that started in the storage room
Of the Carlin Music Company, 33 North
Pennsylvania street, early today The
flames broke through the windows
on the second floor of the o-story
brick building and only effective work
of the fremen prevented destruction of
the building.
The loss is entirely covered by insur-
ance. An official Of the company said
most Of the loss was in musical instru-
ments and monographs stored on the
second floor near the repair room De
fective wiring is said to have caused the
fire. A fire in June 1917. caused heavy
damage in the same part of the build
ing.
The fire today had gained great head
way before being discovered and great
clouds of dense smoke hindered the fire
men in their work. The floor just out
side of the workshop was a mass of
flames.
Many monographs of various makes
sun uncrated were piled to the top Of
the big storage room and the Grating and
the machines furnished ready fuel for
the flames. The rafters of heavy tim
bers also caught fire, making the place
a yeritable furnace. Firemen hurled
burning monographs, crates and boxes
into a courtyard north Of the building
where chemical streams soon smothered
the flames.
Members of the salvage corps protected
many pianos on the first floor from heav%
damage from water.
The music company's business will not
be interfered with in the least, as the
fire and water did not reach the sales.
