HOCKEY TROUBLE IN
 BOSTON IS SERIOUS
Reaches International Proportions About Duffresne Playing in Hub

Boston, Feb. 9.-I international hockey complications are developing around George Duffresne. a Canadian player who recently joined the Bos- ton shoe trades club team of the United States amateur hockey league.
 The Ontario hockey association in q telegram to the Boston arena threatened to place the arena on the outlaw list if Duffresne were permit ted to play. It was asserted that he was a professional.
 Charles Francis Adams, who was skipper of the Americas Cup de fense sleop Resolute last summer, and George ". Brown, manager of the Boston arena, joined in a reply that the threat to outlaw the arena appeared ill advised.
 The reply said that Duffresne was barred from the league game be- tween the shoe trades and Boston A. A. Thursday night. Subsequently Thomas +. Randy local representa- tive of the league said he had learned that Duffresne held a card as an amateur last year in the eastern hockey association. This might be de- cided as entitling him to a card from the United States league and if so he would be eligible to play here.

BULLET PIERCED
 CHAIR IS EVIDENCE
Was Occupied by Man Killed in
 Rifle Duel

Williamson. Va, Feb. 19.-A wicker chair, with an alleged bullet hole through the back, played an important part in the Matewan battle trial here yesterday. J. w. Ferguson. one of the seven Baldwin-Felts detectives who were killed in the fight, rested in the chair on the back porch of Mrs. Mary Duty's home before he was killed, sev eral witnesses testified
 John Akers told the jury that he as sisted Ferguson to the Duty home after the detective had been wounded. He said that he ran from the porch when several men armed with rifles came through the house from the front. He said he had not gone far when he heard shots. He turned into an alley on which the Duty home faced, and he saw Ferguson lying dead in the road way with several men near the body, the witness said.
 Captain Avis, of counsel for the state, introduced the wicker chair as an eN- hibit. Pointing to the hole in the back, he said he intended to prove that the wounded man had been shot again and killed after he was taken to the Duty home.
 harry Staton, JuStlce or the peace, was one of nine witnesses heard today. He said that he went to Matewan after the fight. where he met Sid Hatfield, q defendant. He testified that Hatfield shook hands with him and told him that he had killed three of the Baldwin men. Asked who the men were, Staton said they were Albert Felts, Lee Fclts and C. II. Cunningham.
 Another witness, Miss Bessie Hamil- ton, told the jury that after the fight she saw three bodies lying in the street. Sid Hatfield searched two of the bodies, she said. adding that later she saw him kick the prostrate form of Q man.

JESSE JAMES NO1\ IN IT WITH HOTELS
Travelling Men Asked to Put
 Boycott on HOStelrieS

Omaha. Neb.. Feb. 17.-Letters have been sent to the 6OO.00O commercial travellers urging them to institute a 30 day strike against hotels that charge what the organization terms exorbitant prices for room and food. k, Jesse James was a pilzer in his palmiest days when compared with the prices some hotels are asking, says the letter.
 The letters have been sent out by the Hotel Committee of the Interna- tional Federation of Commercial Travellers organizations and says in part:
 '"Traveling men all over the coun- try have reached the conclusion that the prices charged by hotels for rooms and meals have reached the peak. The travelling fraternity has the same weapon with which to wage warfare upon the hotel proprietors and hotel corporations that the gen eral public used in refusing to pur- chase wearing apparel and shoes at prices which they thought unreaSon- able and out of proportion. There fore, the hotel committee of the In ternational Federation of Commercial Travellers organizations urges the recipient of this letter to refuse to patronize such hotels as are charg- ing or asking eXorbitant prices for rooms and food. This letter is being sent to six hundred thousand (60O,000) travelling men and each and every man must do his part for only in unison is there strength, and only by the concentrated efforts of the army of six hundred thousand of your craft can it be expected to get results.
 "A thirty days strike along the line herein suggested will cause the hotels to soon offer more favorable terms and inducements. When you step up to a hotel register and you are told the price of a room, if you believe it is eXorbitant after taking into consideration the service offered and the investment of the hotel, do not hesitate to say so and walk out. This must also be done in restaur- ants.
 ''Traveling men from different parts of the country have sent the hotel committee copies of menu cards of leading hotels and by scanning the prices published thereon it makes one think that Jesse James was a piker in his palmiest days when compa red with the prices some hotels are ask ing for accommodations You can not bring down these prices by sub hitting to them and then go out and kick. Your complaint must be made to the hotel proprietor and he must be given to understand that you and the members of your craft intend to refuse to pay them"

NOTED BANDIT IS
 WOUNDED IN HOLDUP
Henry Starr Shot by Official Of
 Bank From Vault

Harrison, Ark, Feb. 19.-Henry Starr. notorious oklahoma bandit. was seriously wounded yesterday when. with two com panions, he 2t- tempted 10 rob the Peoples Bank of Harrison.
 When the robbers lacked employ ; es of the bank into the vault, a bank of fIcer seized rifle that had been hidden there and shot Starr down. He then opened fire on the other two but they escaped.
 Starr underwent an operation at the county jail, performed in an &t- fort to save his life. He was shot through the body, just below the heart. Physicians said they thought he would recover
 He dictated teieerams to his wife at Tulsa ard his son, Henry Starr Jr., at Oklahoma City.
 1T always expected to die with my boots on," Starr told officers.
 He later was said to have given the names of his companions as Buch Davis and Tom Jones.
 The three bandits entered the bank shortly before noon, and drawing pistols ordered officials and employees into the vault. w. I. Meyers. a 
 cipal stockholders of the bank, en- into the vault.
 MT. Meyers had concealed rifle in the vault, and in the darkness was able to obtain it and open fire before his intention became known. The two bandits who escaped fled in an automobile, but after driving d mile south of the town they set the ma chine on fire and escaped into the hills. They got no loot.
 Starr's Career of Crime.
 Following the release of Henry Starr from the Oklahoma State prison, to which he had been sen fenced to serve twenty-five years for robbing two banks at Stroud, Okla. he announced that he had forsaken the path of crime and intended to devote the balance or his life to up- lift work. One of his plans was the filming of d motion picture repro ducting crimes of the Starr band of outlaws and their punishment as d warning lesson to young boys. Starr was pardoned by Governor Robertson of Oklahoma after serving four years of his term.
 Starrs career of crime has been one rivaNng those of the lpopular Dime Novel, deSperados. A few years ago the newspapers were full of the %crimcs of the Starr gang, of which Henry was the recognized leader The reign of the bandit gang came to a climax following the daring robbery of the Stroud, Okla, banks, in which Starr was wound- ed, captured and later sent to prison.
 Henry Starr was born in Fort Gibson, Okla. Dec. ?, 1873. His father, George Starr, was full blood Cherokee Indian. His mother, Mary Scott was a quarter-blood Cherokee. Of the three children, Henry was the youngest.
 After his pardon in 1902 for the killing of Deputy Marshal Wilson in the Pryor Creek train robbery, Starr married, went 10 Tulsa and engaged in real estate business. in 1907 he moved to Skiatook, Okla. With his wife and son he attended the in auguration of C. N. Haskell as first governor of Oklahoma. Starr be- lieved at that time he had success fully "beaten back" Oklahoma thought the same.
