EDMUND BIGHAM is CHARGED
With Staying Five-Coroner's Jury
Holds Him Responsible.

Florence, Jan. 27.--That e. d.
Bigham was the perpetrator of the
crime which cost the lives of three
members of the Bigham family ami
the two adopted children of the late
Mrs Black is the opinion Of the jury
of inquest which rendered it's YER
dict tonight.
After hearing at Pamplico the tes-
timony Of thirty witnesses, includ-
ing the re-eXamination Of Mrs. Big
ham, the wife of Edmund Bigham,
and his oldest daughter, the jury
found that Mrs. NJ. NJ. Bigham, Mrs.
Margie Black, the two McCracken
children, aged three and six, and l..
S. Bigham had come to their deaths
at the hands Of e. D. Bigham.
Coroner Smith will issue warrant
charging ED. Bigham with the mur-
ders. Bigham is now being held at
the county jail on warrant sworn
out by John McCracken, the father
Of the two murdered children. This
warrant was served and Bigham ar
rested on Jan. 20, five days after the
tragedy at the Bigham home, two
miles from Pamplico.
1t was at first believed that l.. S.
Bigham, in fit Of dependency over
alleged financial troubles, had COM
mitted the murders and then killed
himself. but following the strong
sentiment in the community that
such could not have been the case,
Coroner Smith continued his inyes-
tigation and has built up a case, the
circumstances Of which. based on the
evidence adduced, are believed by
the jury OF inquest to be sufficiently
strong to warrant the accusing of
Edmund Bigham.
Philip Fl Arrowsmith conducted
the investigation for the coroner at
| the hearing. He dug deep into the
| case.
The two Singletary negroes who
have been in Jail here for several
days as material witnesses, and the
wife Of Andrew Singletary, were i'm
portant witnesses. Andrew Single
tary testified that after the wood
cutters had been paid off Saturday
Jan. 10. e. d. Bigham and l.. S. Big
ham remained in the woods. Later
he passed the house with his wife
and son, going to Pamplico. and saw
Il. D. Bigham emerge from the woods
alone, and, after looking up and
down the road, proceeded to the
| house. This was after Mrs. Bighan,
had sent vest out to him by one Of
| the McCracken children. Bigham
went toward the house with the
child. The time was about 3 o'clock
His testimony was corroborated by
| his wife and son.
Has Hurried Conference.
Robert Foxworth testified that Ed.
mund Bigham, with his family in his
car, had swept up to the house, which
was only a short distance from the
Bigham home, and had hurried
conversation with him--so hurried
in fact, that the witness did not re.
member much about 1t. Bigham then
turned his car in the direction OF the
| Bigham home.
The testimony Of Mrs. Bigham and
OF the oldest daughter Is said tc
have varied considerably from thai
given at the hearing Sunday, Jan
Is, and although the two were to-

The Connecticut labor news., 1921-09-16

An auxiliary supporting organization has been formed known as the Federated Press League, with branches now estab- lished in more than thirty cities. Its purpose is "To defend the principles of freedom of the press against all forces which seek its destruction, to support the Federated Press in the field as an ex- pression of this principle, and to assist in every possible manner the extension and development of the Federated Press"
 A National Labor Party was organi- zed in 1919, growing out of various units in Connecticut, New York, Pennsyl- vania. Indiana, Illinois and other states. Out of this grew the Farmer-Labor Labor Party, so named at the nomiant- ing convention in July, 1920, which went into the campaign with a platform the chief demands of which were: The re- storation of civil liberties the abolition of imperialism, democratic control of in dustry, public ownership and operation of all public utilities and natural re- sources, federal control of meat pack ing, extension of parcel post system. federal department of education, and bill of rights for labor, including the eight hour day and forty-four hour week, freedom from compulsory arbitration, right of collective bargaining, social in surance, re-education of industrial and war cripp1es, abolition of child labor protection of women in industry, aboli- tion of private detective agencies and ex- tension of federal free employment ser vice.
 The party received total vote, with it's allied agencies, of approximately A. 5OO,OOO, and holds second place in Wash ington, South Dakota and Minnesota. It has a dues-paying membership of 30,0OO and publishes a national organ. "The New Majority in Chicago. It has not been endorsed by the American Fedora tion of Labor, but has the endorsement of seven state Federations of Labor, six international unions, and hundreds of central labor bodies.

Souvenirs A-Plenty.

The bill to spend $500, ,ooo in send ing souvenirs of the world war to towns and cities in the United States was killed in the House. Nearly every American town has all the war souvenirs 1t wants, quite a few of them going about on crutches with out jobs, without money, and without any definite prospects of little back pay in the form of a bonus. Many disabled heroes of the world war are being cared for in poorhouses. No more souvenirs, if you please.

CANCER DEATHS ON
 INCREASE IN CONN.
Early Diagnosis and Treatment
 Necessary, Dr. Osborn Says.

"Cancer deaths are on the increase in Connecticut and 1t Is felt that by education alone can the necessity of early diagnosis and treatment be brought before the people," Dr. Stanley Osborn, director of the state health departments bureau of pre- ventable diseases, says in the weekly morbidity report issued Monday
 "The death rate from cancer in Connecticut" Dr. Osborn continues, lis lower than in the surrounding states, according to the last annual report of Dr. John T. Black, state commissioner of health.
 The recent increase in deaths from cancer that has been reported from practically all parts of the United States has focused the attention of public health workers on this fatal disease A nationwide campaign to decrease the prevalence and reduce the mortality of cancer has been in stituted by the American Society for the Control of Cancer, the week of October 3o-November being set aside as the cancer campaign week.
 'In Connecticut the campaign is being carried on by the state de- partment of health through physic- ians and health officers acting as chairmen of the campaign in com munities of 5000 or over."
 The cancer death rate for each 100000 population in Connecticut is shown in the following table pre- Darc6 bv Dr OSbIru.

 The morbidity report shows a falling off in the number of typhoid cases reported the past week, the number being B, 20 less than the week before Whooping cough, diphtheria and measles also fell off while scarlet fever cases increased by two.

the o5oopoo inhabtans of the Philippines

II a teacher in a public school in
the Philippines desires to punish a
child, she doesn't have to apply the
ruler. She simply sentences the offend
ing pupil to remain away from school
a few days!
This is the most severe punishment
she can inflict, for Filipino children
take an almost abnormal pleasure in
going to school and. acquiring an 5edu-
cation. The ALL filipino legislature, in
response to the popular demand for
"schools, and still more schools" is
constantly increasing its appropria-
tions for education. but the schools can
scarcely be constructed fast enough to
care for the ever-increasing enrolment.
The school enrolment is now $4,000
without any compulsory attendance
laws. When Dewey sailed into Manila
Bay there were 2,10O private schools
in the islands. Today there are $500
schools and colleges, with 1900 Fill
pino teachers. and about 1000 other
teachers, 341 Of wl1om are Americans.
The University 6sthe Philippines is
the center off learning Of the entire
Orient, and is the pride of the Fill
pino people. It has an enrolment of
$500 students. Santo Tomas univer-
sity of Manila, older than Harvard, is
another famous seat of learning.
The school system includes normal
schools, agricultural colleges, twenty
seven farm schools, nautical school
and a school for the deaf and blind.
The Filipino pupil, in addition to
learning English and in addition to his
regular studies, learns basket making,
embroidery and hat weaving, the
trades peculiar to the islands, as well
as the domestic sciences and pedagogy.
There are more positions than can be
filled by the trade school and COM
mercial college graduates. The trade
and agricultural schools produced ST.
l76,S5O worth of goods in 1915
There is nothing that the Filipino
people take more pride in and that

Observers Of Situation Expect a
Truce Will BE Signed Be-
fore August.
C0ND|T|0NS1MPRov|NG
Predictions That Settlement Of Con-,
troversy Near is Universally Ac-
cepted-Presiden Harding's
Stand Featured.

Dubljn-The opinion was expressed
by competent observers that the Irish
situation has undergone a considerable
change for the better since St. Pat
rick's day.
A month ago Dublin derided the
peace prophets, but today predictions
that there will be a settlement Of the
controversy in the near future are uni
versaI.
Lloyds declined to accept bets Offer
ed during the week that peace will be
brought about before August.
Outward Condition No Better.
Outwardly conditions have not i'm
proved. There has been no cessation
Of warfare in any part Of the disturbed
districts, and the trouble is spreading
to Ulster.
Factors serving to stimulate the op-
timistic view Of the situation are the
frank admission Of Premier Lloyd
George of the governments failure to
solve the Irish problem; the appoint
ment of Catholic viceroy; Eamonn
De Valera's latest pronouncements,
which are interpreted as showing the
willingness of the Sim Fein for what
is deemed a reasonable compromise;
England's internal troubles, which are
declared to be intensified by the coal
strike; the reputation of the partition
act by southern Ireland; the admitted
difficulty of establishing the Ulster
Parliament; the significance attached
in Ireland to the report of the Amer
ican Committee of One Hundred;> Pre-,
sident Harding's reported Endorsement
Of the American Relief committees
campaign, and rumor that United
States Senator Kenyon is coming to
Ireland as President Hardings repre-
sentative to make an investigation.
Expect Truce Before Elections.
Government circles do not conceal
their anxiety over the prospect that
the Sim Fein will sweep Southern Ire
land and win an overwhelming major
ity of the seats in the Southern Par
lament. With the Nationalists and
Sim Feiners cooperating in the North,
the task of establishing the Ulster Par
lament is recognized as fraught with
political hazards. Many persons con-
tinue to express the belief that the
government will abandon it's attempt
to establish the Parliament and en-
deavor to arrange a truce before the
date or the elections
1t is confidently asserted here that
the Sinn Fein would be willing to nego-
tiate peace on the basis of status of
full dominion. A rumor that the Dali
Eireann has appointed a committee to
negotiate with former enemy countries
is denied.
Hans Toftey left Monday for a
brief business trip to Duluth. He is
attending convention of Chevrolet
dealers.
