MISSING SEVERAL WEEKS 1
Starts on Long Trip Through Moun-
tain Wilds and Not Heard
From; Family Uneasy

-IeH I q 10 soussqp panunuoo oqL
sell of Bedford, N. Y, is the cause o.
great anxiety to his family and friend.
He left Roanoke, Va, the sixteenth oi
last February on walking trip over
the mountains to Jasper, Ga. He plan
ned to be in the wilds for at least six
weeks. When no word of him came
to his family at the end of eight weeks
they became worried. Post cards Of
fering $500 reward were distributed
among post office officials and sher-
iffs along his route.
Mr.. Harsell is naturalist and hunt
er big game. Although he is not
familiar with the southern mountain
territory which he had mapped out
for his trip, he had tramped, hunted
and fished in Maine, Wyoming, Can
ada, and in the Rocky mountains. He
was without fear of the dangers of
lonely trails. Moreover, he was arm
ed and fully equipped for long noun
tain hikes When last seen he was in
the best of health and spirits.
Wherever he went this man made
friends. He was forty eight years
old, but clean shaven and looked youil
ger, He was over six feet in height,
weighed two hund1ed pounds and was
straight and rugged in build He had
brown hair was tinged with gray and
grew well back on his forehead. He
had blue eyes, regular features and
the appearance of healthy, frank. out
door gentleman.
His family are hoping that he has
merely met with delay of some kind
but fear that he may hayeAsbecome /,
sick or disabled and is unable to get
word to them. They realize the diff
ficulty in tracing him and therefore |
ask that he be we'll treated if found |
alive and that word of him be sent if
le is known to be dead or alive. In
ormation of him should be sent to his
brother, Norman Harsell, of Allendale,
lew Jersey, or to Franck Taylor, of
Bristol, Virginia, P. o. Box 726.

ment prepared for the people of Cross

Young ladies are out soliciting peo-
pie to purchase tickets. Every pers -
should feel it duty to assist by pa
ronizing the Chautauqua for those
who guaranteed the $500 necessary to
secure it for our town and county did
so with no thought of profit, but for
the benefit of the whole people. 1t
speaks well for town the size of
Crossville to secure such splendid
things as these Chautauqua entertain
mentS for they are both educational
and entertaining to high degree.
Especially should the citizens of
CroSsville feel it their duty to do all
possible to make it a success and save
the guarantors from having to ind-
vidually pay the expenses; there
should be no deficite for if it proves
to be the case this year there is every
probability that it will not be engaged

following program that it is worth
the patronage of our people, it is clean,
high class and deserves the hearty

STEEL FIRMS DEFY

EFFORT AT PROBE
Serve Notice They Are
Ready to Meet Dras-

EXPENSE TOO GREAT
Answers to Questionnaires
Would Cost One Firm
$4,000.

Declaring that they will not be
dubbed into consenting to allow
the Federal Trade Commission TO
pry into their private affairs, the
twenty-five large Eastern steel cor
porations. which have been en-
gagged in a legal controversy with
the commission for the past two
years over the legality OF the COM
missions orders for answers TO GER
tain missionaries, put up a Wig
orous fight against the commission
yesterday, in Equity Court, and
seemed to come out victor.
Answer to Threat.
The steel corporations also served
notice on the commission that they
are ready for any drastic methods
il may attempt at any stage OF the
proceedings TO compel the submis-
sion of answers TO the question
mares. This notice was given In
answer 10 a threat by the commits
sion to use such methods, should
the corporations win their fight in
the courts.
Attorneys Cooke, Wallace and
We'll. counsel for the corporations.
in their arguments TO strike out
the commissions amended answer
to their bill OF complaint and de-
mand for an immediate decree for
a permanent injunction, Informed
the court that for the corporations
to answer the missionaries in the
form required by the commission
would entail an expense on their
part such as to shock the con-
science Of the court" Instances of
where the expense involved would
amount to as much as $4,000 for
a single corporation were cited.
Cite Contradictions.
Counsel for the steel corporations
insisted repeatedly that the COM
mission had contradicted its allie
cations in the original answer by
the allegations in the amended an
swer
The issue as Il now appears Is
whether the Federal Trade Com
missions action in demanding an
swer, TO missionaries pertaining
TO the whole steel Industry, as re-
cards Interstate. intrastate. and
manufacturing, is IN violation OF the
Fifth amendment to the Constitu-
ton, with regard to the conhsca-

COURT RESTORES
CHECK-OFF SYSTEM

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-Union labor
leaders in the coal mines won a VIC
tory today when the Federal Court Of
Appeals reversed the recent decision
by Judge Anderson Of Indiana, and re-
stored the check-off system in the
mines. Because of the abolition Of this
system, mine strikes were ordered
everywhere.
This system. which the unions admit
Is vital to their existence, requires the
coal companies to withhold from the
pay Of each man the union dues, fines
and assessments. This relieves the
union officers of this task and COM
pels the employing companies to hold
the men in line.
