of Lloyd Georges refusal to help
Poland he seized a hatchet, smashed
his own piano and cabled a fiat re-

he had received from six New York

the sentiments of the whole United

1t would be a great misfortune if
the virtuoso's petulant example were

it came moving day in Shantung, were

The possibilities which Paderewski's
rash, spectacular act evokes are truly
terrifying.
Nor is there any reason to feel secure
that the infection of his example will
be confined to the great of the earth.
1t may spread, even like the "fu",
among the very commonest people.
Some street cleaner, dismayed by
the loss of Wilson's fourteen points,

Or some barber, after reading his
Congressman's speech, may throw
a brick at Caruso and join the Ameri-

The ripple of stone cast into the
sea travels farther than the eye can
see. The human mind cannot pos
sibly grasp the consequences of such
startling act as that of Paderewski.
Incidentally one cannot help won

WOULD PUT PUBLIC WISE
The Union Coal Miner is Not to Blame
For High Prices Paid by Consumer

Indianapolis - Jack Bell, a union
coal miner of Tiltonville, Ohio, has
evolved plan to acquaint the public
with the fact that the coal miner is
not to blame for the high price which
the consumer is required to pay for
his coal. Bells suggestion, which he
sent to the international headquarters
OF the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, is this Each miner should write
on piece of paper the price he re-
ceives for mining the coal. Then he
should roll up the paper and place it
in the car, so that the consumer may
find it when he uses the coal.
Bell sent in a copy of the kind of
note which he says he is placing in
the coal he loads, and he says other
miners in Ohio are doing the same
The note is as follows:
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-02-27

Bell does not complain about the
price which the operator gets for the
coal, but he believes there is no good
reason for the high cost of coal when
it is delivered to the ultimate con-
sumer. He thinks there is too much
margin between the price paid to the
miner and the price paid by the con-
sumer, and that the public ought to
know the facts. Then, he says, the
people will understand that the high
cost of coal is not due to the wages
Of the coal miners.

HOUSE BUYS PLANT
 IN PRESCOTT
CFrom Saturdays Daily.)

Arizona Packing company interests have become interested in Prescott, and will open up one of their state branches in this city by May or June, according to Fred Tribolet, one of the chief stockholders who was in the city yesterday from Phoenix
 The-extent of the deal could not be ascertained. Denial of the rumor of the sale of the Crystal ice plant was made by Paul A. Johns, manager, last night but he admitted that some ma chinery had been bought by the pack ing concern.
 Mr Triboiet told the Journal-Miner last night that he had secured the old Arizona Brewing company's plant and that remodeling was already under way, in order to make it a proper establishment for a general packing business here. Meat, both fresh and cured, lard and lard com pounds will be shipped in via and from Phoenix, and two or three men will be employed.
 The Arizona Packing company is now the largest concern of it's kind in this part of the Southwest. Its headquarters is located at Phoenix, and there are branches in Pima and Cochise counties. The business IS said to have grown out of the meat market business of s. J. Tribolet & Sons of Phoenix. A large plant is located in Salt River valley, where all the processes through which meat passes, from the slaughtering to the delivery of dressed, government in- spected table cuts, are gone through

came to get the enumerators together and go over the situation, they ap. pear 10 have been lost. There was a wide variance of opinion as to whose duty it was to divide the city and its underskirts into districts. Two of the enuneratorS were lost. and knew not why or when or how they were ex- pected to go to work. The board of supervisors indignantly denies it was its duty to advise the supervisor of the census about districts, that it was the supervisor of the census duty to do it, not the supervisors of the county.
 What can be learned of this sItua- ton is not enlightening, nor apt to be extremely reliable. Nor is it thought that throughout the state are there many eX-soldiers employed on the job, as the ex-soldiers' organiza- tions requested in a nationwide and earnest manner long before any job holders were named.

 Employees at the barracks who daily make the trip to and from the post to the city, discussed the accident quite freely. Several were emphatic in their condemnation of the fool hardness displayed by the drivers on many occasions.
 One incident related to an attempt 10 beat long double-hcader freight to the crossing near the ice plant.

 It is stated that the driver of the car which was wrecked yesterday af- ternoon took a chance on his way into town, crossing just a few feet in front of the afternoon train, the in formant being an employe at the post who did not desire his name used.

AERIAL SANTA DONATES LIGHT
 MAN TURK

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. lO-The population of that lonely and barren western outpost of the continent. the Farallone Islands. was amazed and delighted the other day when mama in the form of a 20-pound dressed turkey dropped by parachute from the sky.
 It was the result of a conspiracy between a San Francisco newspaper, an actress and an airplane company to bring a little cheer into the lives of the lighthouse-keepers and their families, who are the sole occupants of the three groups of tiny islands and rocks that jut out of the Pacific 30 miles west of the Golden Gate.
 The lighthouse stands on one of the south group, the only islands ac- cessible by boat, the others being the North Farallones, a cluster of sharp rocks rising a hundred feet above the surf, and the Middle Rock, huge precipitous projection.
 The islands, which can be seen from the heights of San Francisco on clear days, are cut off from civiliza- ton owing to lack of regular trans portation. Government boats and  tugs, lying in wait for tows, are the only visitors.
 The Faralloncs constitute the last tip of the Coast range. Between them and the mainland the water is comparatively shallow, while beyond them the Pacific dips to unfathomed depths. Many vessels were dashed to pieces upon these rocks in the early days, and tradition tells of pirates making their haunts with Spanish treasure among the island crags and caves. The first American who entered one of the caves which is reached by crawling through long passageway found in the cavern a skeleton of a woman, whose skull showed she was caucasian.

FATAL ACCIDENT WAS
 NARROWLY AVERTED
(From Saturdays Daily)


 School children, being taken from the city to Whipple Barracks yester- day afternoon, miraculousIy escaped death or injury when the ambulance in which they were riding crashed into switch engine just inside the reservation gate, and was metamor- phsed into kindling wood.
 With luck unparalleled, the occu- pants of the car escaped with only a shaking while the driver, and former soldier named Johnson, received a cut on the head requiring two stitches. Colonel Raymond Bliss, the com mandant, announced last night that Johnson, who is a civilian employe, and had formerly been a taxi driver in the city, had been placed in the guard house under arrest pending a further investigation into the respon- sibility for the accident.
 The daughter of Dr. Sales, of Whip pie, aged about nine years; the son of Sergeant Nipps, of about l4 years, and an unknown girl, were taken to the military hospital for treatment and telephone message last night from that institution stated none were in a serious condition and would soon recover.
 The automobile was returning to Whipple with children from the pub- lie school of Prescott, and in the crash the children were thrown vio- lently to the ground. The machine was thrown over on its side and wrecked when Chauffeur Johnson was injured.
