of the greatest sopranos the world has
ever known. This Will be q rare OPP
portunity for: the people in this part
of the state. to hear so gifted a singer.

KANSAS STRIKE IS CALLED BY HOWAT
By Associated Press

Pittsburg, Kan, February 5.-Alex- ander M. Howat president of'th Kan sas Mine Workers union, announced today that he had called strike of 200 miners employed by the George H. Mackie Fuel company. In calling it howat said he had acted on directions of the unions district board. The walkout is the first of the kind to be called since the passage of the law creating the state court of industrial relations year ago.
 Howat and other mine union offi- cials are under permanent injunction not to call strikes in the Kansas coal ! fields.
 Explaining the reasons for the strike President Howat said:
 The action was taken after the failure of the commissioner of the op- orators to put into effect an award made more than two years ago in the case of Karl Mishmash. 1 By provisions of the award, Mis- mash was to receive wages at mans $
 scale for the eight months service with the Mackie company. He had been
 paid on the boys scale for that pe-
 rlod of time. As result of the agree
 ment, Mismash still has between S200 | and $223 coming to him.

 Scrivner is an escaped convict under tsentence of 50 years in the Texas pen | itentiary for participation in pay l roll robbery here two years ago. 1 There has been no indication as to when Rowan and Scrivner will be ar raigned on the murder charge. County officials are trying to smooth out the 1 legal difficulties which disqualify Scrivner as a witness.

MERCY HOME TOTS
 GO SUPPERLESS TO BED
By ERIC .LEvIsoN

There are fifty and four of them at the Mercy homo, all little chiI- dren and far removed from the suffering md the misery of their kind in central Europe, but they wanted to help and they did not quite know how.
 But on Friday night those chil- dren under seven years of age went sapperIess to their little beds, for, of their own accord Ramsay of the home that their suppers be sent to those starving children, for whom the European relief council is endeavorlng to collect money in order that they may live.
 Mother Ramsay did not want to do 1t. but these children, out of a pity and mercy that only child hood knows, insisted, and so it was. And that is why instead of supper at the Mercy home on Fri day night, these 54 young ones prayed that MT. Hoover might be successful in his endcavor to saw the lives of the starving children of Europe. Those under the age of Seven were debarred from the fast.
 This is the quality of which the bard of Avon wrote, that quality of mercy that fs ian attribute of God himseif," and it is these same children of the Mercy home that have given truth to the words. Surely their example will not be lost

Tho court responded that the attorneys in the last three cases had not objected to the general charge, and that If he was going to be imposed upon by the defense he would limit the debate to one hour to the side. The defense wanted two hours, but finally Judge AImon agreed to give them one hour and half if the defense would allow the general charge, which agreement was finally made and accepted, where> upon soiic.tor Drake opened for tho state, follows ed by R. T. Simpson, Jr.. and his father. Solicitor Henry D.. Jones closed for the state.
 During. the argument by the state the defendants four year old, blue eyed daughter sat upon his knee and played with a small balloon, unmindful of what was going on around her and ob- livious to the fact that her father faced a jury of his peers charged with taking a human life. She presented a pathetic picture and seemed to be out of place in so sordid an atmosphere.
 Arguments were completed and the case went to the jury at seven o'clock tonight. Judge Almon announced that there would be no court next week to try the thirteen other defendant, charged with murder, but that this time would be taken up in the drawing of the juries and the summoning of same. and that court would reconvene on February 14thg

 IN CHILE CLASH Take Possession of Nitrate Plant and Are Driven Out
 By Soldiers
By Associated Prnss

Santiago, Chlle, FeDruary o.-- Thirty-six workmen were killed in the clash with troops at the San Gregario nitrate plant in Atofagasta province Thursday, according to advices pub lished by Fl Mercurio this morning.
 The. first reports received Friday pkaced the casualties at 23 soldiers and made no mention of the workers losses. Later advices reducted the num- beh of soldier dead to six, but there were varying reports today that the tr oops suffered heavier losses. Some of the workers were wounded. Daniel Jones, administrator of the plant, who was killed is said to have been a brother of c. H. Jones, president of the Nitrate Producers association.
 The workmen took possession of the plant after an encounter with small garrison but were driven out by rein forcement of troops, who eventually restored order. No details have been received regarding the direct origin of the trouble.
 President Alessandri and the nini- sters of interior and war held con- ference last night and it is said that the situation in the nitrate districts was lengthily discussed measures be- ing approved to provide assistance for the thousands of workers unem- rloyed there. At the same time steps were taken to prevent a recurrence of the disorders

 Tuscaloosa, the home of the ac- cused guardsmen, is also the home of the University of Alabama md the state hospital for the insane. Judge Wilkinson was attempting to gain admissions from some of the state's witnesses Friday and when the defense objected he re- ferred to the fact that he got his training in Tuscaloosa, also.

A suspect has been placed under arrest and will be charged with murder, according to Sheriff W H. HoIcombe. BIoodhounds were used to trail Frank Allen, suspected of inc killing. Officials believe that moonshincrs thought Botter re- sponsibie for many recent raids and arrests on charges of operating stills, and killed him for revenge.
 In recent charge to federal grand jury Judge Robert T. Erwin of the United States court told jurors that it had come to his mo- tice. that Iaw-abiding citizens of the county had been threatened by the iawless and that he did not propose to have such conditions exist.
