DISAFFECTION CAUSES
FOUNDRY To SHUT DOWN

The Henry Furnace and Foundry
20. issued notice of an indefinite
shutdown Wednesday, effective at
once, because of a disaffection among
q large group of its employees which
threatened to result in strike.
1t waslearned at the foundry that
trouble has been brewing more or less
ever since the present superintendent,
John W. Kemp, took his position as
successor to E. L. Young, who re-
signed some time ago, the men be-
lieving that Kemp was responsible
for the recent wage cuts at the
foundry, and also that he was about
to direct a further reduction.
Men in authority at the foundry
deny that any further reduction in
wages has ever been discussed, or
that Kemp was in any way response
lble for the reductions that have been
made. On Wednesday before decid-
ing to shut down the plant, one Of the
off1clals endeavored to make these
facts plain to the men, but they re-
fused to listen, it was stated.
Previously the men had presented
q statement Of their grievances to the
Cleveland offices of the company,
which, the company states, clearly
showed that they were being actuated
by transformation. The statement
IS said to have contained the names
OF about fifty workmen.
Company officials say they are
wiling to re-instate the men if they
acknowledge having been mistaken
and will sign statement to that eff
feet, petition for which has already

TWO KILLED At
R. R. CROSSING
Car Strikes Auto, Bringing
Death to Bride
And Groom. |
HAD BEEN MARRIED
LESS THAN MONTH
Relative Comes to Medina
And Has Bodies !
Shipped To i
City. I. +,

Two human lives, those of young
man and woman, bride and groom of
less than month, were instantly
crushed out Tuesday morning, when
the automobile in which they were rid
ing was run into by an interurban car
on the Southwestern at Dix's crossing
stop 95 on the railroad, mile and a
half south of Chippewa Lake.
The railroad car was the north
bound local due in Medina at 9:22.
The victims of the accident were
Edwin q. Simpson and his wife, Jane
Goldie Simpson, of 1883 Lee Road,
Cleveland, their names and addresses
being ascertained from letters found
in the dead mans pocket. Among
other effects found was the brides
marriage certificate, which gave her
maiden name as Mozena and home az
Bellaire, o., altho the marriage cere-
mony was performed at Wellsyille.
o., on Aug. E, by Rev. Thos. B. Scher-
rer of the First Church of Christ.
A. M. Boyd, travelling salesman
who was on his way to Medina, was a
passenger on the car that killed the
simpsons and his description of the
occurrence to the Sentinel representa-
tive was substantially as follows:
lhe first intimation I had that
anything was wrong" said Boyd, was
when | heard the car whistle shrek
felt the sudden clamping of the brakes
and almost simultaneously heard
crashing sound. As the car stopped
rushed out and around to the front
end, where l beheld the forms of the
man and woman laying several feet
away, and the wreckage. of the ma
chine, Paige, wedged under the for
ward truck of the car. Both the man
man and woman lying several feet
when reached them, but expired in
tilc lTdCllOn OF moment"
Mr.. Boyd stated that the automobile
was struck with such force that mart
OF 1t struck and broke two high-ten-
sion wire poles and tore down milk
stand near the crossing.
Boyd hurried to farm house and
telephoned to Medina for an ambu.
lance, Longacre and Son responding.
Both bodies were brought to Medina
and prepared for burial.
Letters found in Simpsons pockets
indicated that he was a subscription
solicitor for certain trade papers. and
perhaps was not in the best financial
condition. He had bill of sale for
MS car which showed that it was Dur.
chased only last Friday. The con-
tents OF two valises are believed tn
have represented all the personal ef-
fects of Simpson and his wife and
that only three dollars was found in
the, formers pocket is taken to indi-
cate that the couple may have staked
their all for the car and then taken to
the open to economize and be united
while endeavoring to get few dollars
together again.
The dead mans father, w. T. Simp-
son OF Cleveland, arrived in Medina
Tuesday night and arranged for the
removal of both bodies to the city
Wednesday morning. The father of
Mrs. Simpson was located at Bellaire,
O., by the police department of that
city.

Work of the Dogs
 In Field Trials Is
 Far Below Standard

Grand Junction, Tenn.,. January e7.- Work of the four dogs which ran today in the national championship fields trials here today proved disappointing, in spite Of perfect weather conditions Bir6s were difficult to find. The famous derby winner, Stylish Wasp, owned by Miss Marion Dupont of Montpelier Station, Va, and handled by R. K. Armstrong, ran against Great Island Ringing Bella, owned by William zeigler of New York and handled by Joseph Crane.
 Both dogs showed good speed and competitor Stylish Wasp apparently be- ing off in nose
 Ringing Bells completely outbirded her range.
 The setter, Willow Brook Drake Win dell, owned by c. H. Tyler of Boston, ran against Commanche Rap, also owned by William If. Zeigler. Drake Winoeli is an imported dog,s but his perform ances today failed to sustain his rspu- tation. He could scarcely be kept on the course and his work was under judg- ment but q short time. Commanche Rap's performance was also under his usual standard.
 The first rrace tomorrow will be set ters, White Socks, owned by Louis Mc- Grew of Pittsburg and handled by l.. E. Campbell, and Eugene's Ghost, owned oy Mrs M. J. Elliott, of Courtland, Miss. and handled by w. II. Elliott.
 In the afternoon the setter, Miss Pan sey, owned by c. H. Tyler. will run as a bye.
 This concludes the first series of the stake.

 Charlie Abrams will have full ohargs of arrangements for the game this year. as he has in the past.

 It is also my firm conviction that bol- skeyism has no future in Germany be- cause it is a land of highly developed industrial interests. Under the pressure of socialist voters-in June 42 per cent or all the votes were cast by this party Germany ~ill proceed by slow cautious, and gradual steps to socializati tionA of those industries most ready and suited for this process, especially the mining industry. This transition will take place
 without violence as the natural rest1lt of economic development; and all att tempts Vat armed terroristic solutions which may be undertaken by the com munistic party will come to nothing, be- cause of<its shortsightedness and lack of judgment.
 The danger to Germany's future iss to be looked for, not in the party of the left. but in that of the right. The fear oi bolshevism. which militarists and re- actfonarjes have now been exploiting for two years, is far more dangerous to Ger many's peaceful development than bol- sheyism itself. The watchword.

Movie of Royal Weddinr

From Adventuring After Adventura- With a Notion Picture Expedition to
 Malaysia by E. Alexander Powell. in

 Of the 19 countries which we visited Tn the course of the expedition am inclined to believe that in none did wa encounter such strange customs and en- ricus sights as in the Sultanate of Diok- Jakarta, in middle Java Though under the suzerainty of the Dutch, whose iron nand is concealed within a velvet glove. the reigning Sultan, Hamankoe Boewoe- noe VII, Ruier of the World and Spike oi the universe as he modestly styles himself, still exercises considerable de- gree or Influence over his 80000O subjects. The Sultan, who is now in his eighty eighth year, believes in large families. one of the estimates winch heard credit, ing him with 1sO children. The youngest. who is four years old. is sometimes re. 1erred to by Europeans as the Joke of Djokjakarta."
 By extraordinary good fortune va .r- rived in Djokjakarta on the eve of the celebration of double royal wedding two of the Sultan's grandsons marrying two of his granddaughters Thanks to the interest taken in our enterprise hv the Dutch resident, we were enabled to obtain remarkable series of pictures of the highly spectacular marriage cere- monies, it being the first time, believe that a motion picture camera had been permitted within the closely guarded precincts of the royal kraton, which is the name applied to the great walled citadel within which dwell the Sultan the officials of his court. and upward of 15.000 retainers.
 The festivities. which occupied several days. consisted of receptions, fireworks reviews, games. dances. and religious ceremones, ,culminatink in most impress state to claim their brides. Nowhere outside the pages of The Wizard of Or can one find such amazing and fantastic costumes as those worn by the thousands of natives who took part in that proces- sion. Every combination of colors was used. every period of European and Asiastic history was represented.

ULLMAN JUNIORS
 WIN CITY TITLE
Rx A..ociated Prssa

The Ullman school junior basketball team is now champion of Birmingham in It's class, as 1t defeated the Barker { school juniors yesterday, F to 10, proving their superiority over the ri- vals in decisive manner. Pass work and team work won for the Uilman boys. Barker juniors did not have the pass work or the accu- racy in shooting that Ullman did and. consequently, stood little chance of winning.
 Kartus, guard for Ullman played splendid defensive game. Zale, for ward, made three field goals and a foul total of seven points. McHenry. guard. made three field goals, six points. Cameron, center, and Mezera- ino. forward. passed well and were good on the defensive.
 For Barker juniors, Grabin played the best game.
 The game was played on Highland 1 schools court. The senior champion ship game. between Ullman seniors and Robinson seniors, was postponed and will be played today or tomorrow also on Highland schools court.

, they do that their buying power witt be also increased
 l Therefore, it is clear that if Ger many knows exactly what the indem- nifty is to be and begins preparations I for the payment of 1t in reasonable in- stallments. it will follow as the night | follows the day that industrial life 1 will be increased ultimately to it's ca- 1 pacity When European industries are | established upon firm basis, the United States can rely with confidence upon the payment of the loans which i for q year or two this country must l make, if Europe is to be aided.
 I A NEW RECORD THIS YEAR l From Washington recently came an
 authoritative report in which was set 1 forth the almost inconceivably great | foreign trade of the United States in | the year 1920. The bare figures seem 1 to eontrovert the statement that the | year which has just ended was ono Of 1 serious depression containing danger
 ous factors which if not controlled ] might lead to a panic.
 l Our foreign trade in 1920 was in
 money value $13, ,000,0 900. Exports constituted more than half of this l trade. Measured in dollars, they amounted to considerably more than 1 $S, 900, 000,000. Imports were also in-
 creased to the advantage both to this /, country and that of the countries from which the commodities came. The vis- l ible trade balance in our favor was
 about $3.000, 100000, and that Is a
 greater trade balance than was the en- :! tire amount in dollars of our exports i in any year prior to 1913.
 1 This trade was not speculative, nor ! did it in any way represent trade I movements that were unhealthful and certain to end in collapse. It repre- lfs.- &-l +l- A. . -~1 especially Europe. for American com
 modities, of which there was need In ] the restoration of the industries and |, the transportation systems of other nations. This foreign trade must be maintained and if possible increased I in the year 1921. But in order to maintain it and increase it, it is vital l that this country allow the people Of other countries and other nations as | we'll to run into debt for the commodi- ties which they buy here.
 | None of those who are qualified to speak doubt the ability of American corporations and American banks to furnish all the credit that is needed provided only the reasons are excel | lent for believing that those who buy upon credit in the United States will
 be in position in due time to liquidate
 the debt. They will be in that position all the sooner if Germany knows ex- l act.y what indemnity is required, for when Germany has that knowledge
 her industrial and other relations will l be so adjusted as to make it possible I for her to pay the indemnity, although probably upon reasonable installments. l One monition which is mentioned by the ablest authorities in the hope that | if will be needed. is this--care must be taken lest our recovery is too rapid, ] for in that case there is danger of re- lapse. It should be slow, steady and subject to occasional reactions from 1 which recovery will be speedy, as is 1 the case in all true convalescence to the point where normal health is at : tained.

PETE HERMAN SAYS HE WAS NOT AT HIS
 BEST AGAINST JOE

New Orleans, La, January 27.--- On his return home from England today. where. he defeated Jimmy Wilde, the English champion, Pete Herman declared the only fight he is interested now is return match with Joe Lynch. who took the ban- tam championship from him just before he smiled for England.
 ''How can the public reconcile the facts that Wilde beat both Lynch md Moore and I stopped Wilde and still am not the cham pion any longer." Herman asked. "Maybe If they study this dope they cnn put some faith in my statements thnt I was not at my best when | met Lynch"
 Herman insists tbnt he was over trained for the match with Lynch.
