Mental Breakdown
After Illness, Says Family.

New York. July 1.-Irresponsibility
due to a mental breakdown following
an attack of scarlet fever, was ad-
yanced today by members of the Bed
ford family as an explanation of the
reported imprisonment in Michigan
City, Ind, of Charles Bedford, 81
yeAr-old son Of Charles E. Bedford,
president of the Vacuum Oil com
pany, for the theft of an automobile.
Young Bedford is the grandson OF r.
II Bedford. president of the Corn
Products company, and one of the
original directors of the Standard Oh
company.
Young Bedford was being taken
west for his health when he escaped
from his guardian at Chicago. Since
then. private detectives employed by
the Bedford family have been making
a nationwide search for him.
The Bedford family is taking steps
to open the case, convinced that the
court did not know of the young
mans mental incompetency. Young
bedford has been confined in two
salitariums and was prevented by his
mental condition from entering col
Iege last fall.

Will AID MOTHER
Daughter of Mrs. Kaber to
Testify for Her.
Says Kaber Made Advances
Toward Her.

Cleveland, July Marian Nc
ArdIe, daughter of Mrs. Katherine
Eva Kaber, and under indictment for
first degree murder in connection
with the death of her step-father,
Daniel Kaber, is willing to jeopardize
her own chances for freedom to save
her mother. The 19-year-old and
former Smith college student, has
asked permission to testify in her
mothers behalf.
Dan Kaber made advances to me"
the girl declared today. His treat
ment of me hurt my mother more
than his advances on her and goaded
her to the point of insanity.
dan Kaber has been painted as an
angel and my mother as fiend. He
was a beast, If there ever was one.
NY mother has been misjudged. She
never had a chance. She has only me
to fight for her.
II shall fight for her with the last
drop of blood in my body" proudly
said the girl whose experiences in life
have brought hard lines to her youth
ful face. She shares a cell IN the
county Jail with her mother.
Her mothers attorneys and those
engaged by her father, Thomas Nc
Ardle, of Chicago, her mothers first
husband. to look after her interest,
said today they had not decided
whether they would permit the girl to
endanger her own chances to TESTIFY
for Mrs. Kaber.
Ten women are on the new venire
drawn for Mrs. Kaber's case. With
nine tentative jurors in the box when
court adjourned last Wednesday, four
of them women, the defense may nave
to exhaust all its peremptory chaI-
lenges in its anxiety to keep women
from the jury which will sit in final
Judgment on Mrs. kaber.

WARRIOR POET TROOPS ACTIVE
D'Annunzio Sends Message of Encour-
agement to City of Fiume.

Fiume, July Capt Gabrielle
d'AnnunziO's adherents are reorgan-
izing their forces into a contingent
which will respond to any emergency
which arises here. The war cry has
gone out to former followers of the
poet-soldier and they are congregat-
ing here and have already organized a
body called the Service triest.
D'Annunzio has sent out a message to
his legionaires saying: This year is
ours. 1t belongs to the legionaires
and the Arditi and we again conse-
crate ourselves in one vast and SOL
emn bond"
The obstinacy of political leaders
inside the city prevents the constitu-
tional government from functioning
and control of affairs is in the hands
of General FOschin, commander of
Italian troops in Fiume. Reports that
the port of Barros, between Fiume
and Sussak, is to be separated from
Fiume and ceded to Jugo Slav have
increased the excitement here. Such
a separation is being urged by the
Jugo Slavs, who are said to plan the
extinction of Fiume as a port.

PROBE Mine FINES
Industrial Court in Session at
Pittsburg.
Men Charged Fifty Cents for
All Idle Days.

Pittsburg, Kan. July 1.-The Kan
sas court OF industrial relations in a
session here this morning devoted the
time to the examination of Earl ORA
per Of Arma, secretary of the state
mine examining board, and several
operators in the assessment of fines
when the men refuse to work.
The court also inquired of the wit
neSseS before it this morning as to the
wage scale this year as compared to
last year, and the cost of mining coal.
Before examining Draper on this
point the court stated that recent ad-
vertisements on the part of coal deal
ers had announced an advance in the
price of coal for this winter.
Another inquiry made of the miners
was as to the number of days the
miners are working this year as COM
pared to the days employed last year.
John J. Campbell, legal representa-
tive of various coal companies, attend
ed the hearing and asked the witnesses
a number of questions. 1t was brought
out in the testimony that it has been
the practice of the companies when
the men failed to work for any reason
for which the company was not re-
sponsib1e to assess a fine of so cents
per day.
All the men are fined regardless of
their willingness to work.
The questions indicated that the
court is interesting itself in the threat
ened increase in the price of coal and
in the system of imposing fines. and
that it is seeking an answer to the
problem of keeping the mines at work
more continuously during the year in
order to furnish steady employment
for the workers.
This afternoon the court will hold a
session with the operators and pursue
it's Investigation of this morning. The
method of selling coal will also be a

Ninth street location appeals to every
