MANSUR WILL TERMS

Bill to have court construe the
will of the late Otis E. Mansur, Mo-
line manufacturer, was filed in cir
cult court today by the Peoples
Savings bank & Trust company Of
Moline and Mrs. Florence Mansur,
coexecutors of the estate.
Legal Interpretation Of certain
clauses in the will which provide
for disposition of property after
the death of the step-mother, Sarah
Jane Mansur, and for sale and dis
tribution of securities and other
investments, is sought. The will
beQueaths two-ninths Of the estate
after certain legacies and expenses
have been paid, to the step-mother
for use during her natural life, and
provides that in event Of her death
at filing of the will this share is
to be paid to the widow. The ques-
ton arises as to whether this por-
ton is to revert to Mrs. Mansur
upon death of the stepsmother, OF

WORK STOPS IN
ENGLISH MINES


London. April 1.-All work ceas-
ed in the coal mines Of the United
Kingdom at midnight with the ex-
ception of q very few districts. and
approximately LOO, 900 miners
were idle today as q result Of the
controversy over the wage issue.
In only two colleries in York
shire, one in Northumberland, one
in Scotland. and one in !. North
Wales, have the men promised to
continue at their posts without pre-
judice to any terms that may be
agreed upon.
Danger that the mines may be
flooded threatens, and many may
be irretrievab1y ruined from the
thrush of water. Strenuous eff
forts are being made everywhere
to enroll volunteers. Yorkshire
pumpmen have decided to remain
at work and hope was expressed
today that others would follow
their example.
The first effect of the strike has

GIVE PAGEANT OF
EARLY HISTORY
OF CHEROKEES

TahleQuah, Okha.-Early history
of the Cherokee Indians is to be
depicted in a pageant given here
the first week in June in commemo-
ration Of the invention of Sc
Quoyah's alphabet, presented to his
people 100 years ago. Cherokees and
descendants of missionaries who
worked among the Indians before
and after the migration to Okla
hOma are to take part.
The idea Of the pageant has been
In process of development several
years by Prof. J. W. Scroggs of the
extension department of the Uni
yersity of Oklahoma, who came to
Oklahoma ~ years ago as a teacher
of the Red Men. Final plans were
worked out in Oklahoma City at a
conference between faculty men,
bers Of the university, descendants
Of the old Cherokee tribesmen and
members Of the state historical So
ciety.
1t was decided to ask the state
legislature, now in session, for
FUNDS 20 de1ray expenses OF the
pageant.
Details Of the pageant have not
been announced.
Working without knowledge OF
the English language, Sequoyah
Was an old man when. at the end OF
20 years Of labor, he gave to his
tribesmen an alphabet. In two
years the Cherokees were raised
from virtual illiteracy to a degree
Of education, and Sequoyah's
achievement has been heralded as
one Of the greatest forward steps
In the history Of the American In
dian. Hailed ~ . crazy Indian, :
SeQuoyah persevered and finally
reached his goal by forming q char
acter representing each Of the 81
syllables Of his language.

BuffalO.-Dr. Leon o. Williams,
pastor of the Universalist church
of the Messiah, has found way to
fill empty pews. It is to "let the
women do the work"
Every once in while a woman
Of the church occupies the pulpit,
other women act as ushers and col
lectors.

cation and takes it easy" So do
other men of the church.

stormy day.
Mrs. Henry w. Gorton preached
The pastors wife acted as the lead.
er of the service.
Here's paragraph from Mrs
Gorton's sermon:
'The consciousness of mans
unity with God is not an instan-
taneous achievement. It's ans I'M
foldment, growth in grace. 1g-
norance is not a passport into
heaven. neither is this spiritual at
tainment a gift that falls into the
lap of the indolent."

held in allegiance until death of
Mrs. Florence Mansur. when it
would become interstate property.

probated Sept. 3, 1920.

, Sounds like a regular. minister
! doesn't it?
Women have message for
women, as well as for men, which
a masculine ministry lacks says
Rev. Williams. with SO much OF
our religious work in the hands Of
women it is fair that they should
have the same consideration as
| men,"
F.! There'll be other Sundays when
the pastor will have no part in the
services except as listener.
; And some day he will listen tC
his wife in the pulpit.

St. Joseph's Circle, No. 81, St. Mar
garet's Daughters, is now into it:
eighth year of existence, having beer
organized March 10, St. Joseph Day
1914, and it's services have been faith
fully and continuously carried out.
St. Margaret's Daughters is an in.
corporated body under the auspices Of
the Roman Catholic Church with the
objects Of "planning, undertaking, fl
nancing and executing good works
whether charitable, eleemosynary, ed
ucational, benevolent or others Of a
like character, in behalf Of humanity,
as we'll as those which the betterment
of social, civic and religious conditions
may demand"
Realizing the need of such an or
ganization in our midst number OF
women determined to form one and
by invitation of Mrs. D. R. Barfield,
met in her North street home, March
10, 1914, at which time St. Joseph
Circle was organized.
The first officers were: President,
Mrs. W. C. Joubert, (deceased), first
vice president, Mrs. D. R. Barfeld;
second vice president, Mrs. L. U. Ba-
bin; third vice president, Mrs. L. P.

reading to the children Of the school
for the blind and helping finance liter
ature used in catechism classes. Gifts
of magazines and books have been
made to the city library. From the
beginning it has been and is now the
custom to give an Easter hunt to the
children of both orphanages as their

TIE REST ROOM LEAGUE
Fine Property Purchased and Being
Paid For by the Energetic and
Progressive Lady Managers.

IN October, 1914 at the Baton Rouge
Free Fair at the request of Mrs. L.
u. Babin, chairman of the Women's
Department, was created Woman's
Day to ask women to meet at GER
tain hour and at that time was the
birth of the Rest Room League. From
this gathering of women from town
and country, presided over by Mrs.
Babin with Mrs. James Clayton es-
pecially urging closer cooperation
came the determination of standing
together for mutual good. In Nov
ember Of that year in the rooms of
the Chamber of Commerce was or
ganized the Rest Room League which
formed plans resulting in renting a
house and large grounds, 81 Main
street, and furnished as to provide a
place to which t-of-town shoppers
or rural people to see doctors and
dentists, in fact any visitOry can find
rest and the home comforts gratis.
Here they can bring lunch or pur-
chase same, with milk, coffee, tea or
coacoa. Waiting at the Rest Room
for those with whom they came to
town. Yes, a great improvement over
the old way Of getting the crowd to-
gether: packages kept by the matron
in safety and vehicles in readiness on
the grounds are things also appreci-
ated.
Five years at this place and then
; it was sold at high price because Of
its commercial value. No other place
close-in could be rented, so to buy was
the only thing left. The purchase
price of $4,000 was raised by SUBJ
ssription and in May, 1920 the prop
erty at $50 Lafayette street was
bought. The $4,000 borrowed of a
Bank for enlargement and repair is
being repaid, $4,000 monthly by our
own efforts.
There being more rooms than need
ed for the function of the Rest Room,
these are rented reasonably to work.

wholesome midday meal to the
ones with US and many other working
girls at only rs cents.
The Woman's Exchange conducted
by the league sells fancy work and
handmade articles charging 10 per
cent commission.
A shed in ths rear Of the grounds
was re-arranged to rent as three
garages, one at $500 and two at $3.50
per month.
Since the beginning there has been
no change Of matIon; more economy,
tact and love of work could hardly
be found than in Mrs. Kate Tempel
and no one could be better loved than
our "Aunt Kate"

SHOT IN THE LEG

s r. Bush, of Bailey Switch, was
at church Sunday at Hi-Land Park.
Mr.. Bush is really from Green Pond,
Alabama, which accounts for the
fact that he was unaware of the ex-
treme danger of doing any such
thing outside of Barbourville.
Being doubtless refreshed in the
spirit, he started home up the track
when a freight train passed. Every
one knows that freight trains were
specially made to shoot at and some
enterprising young sports, toting
guns on the Sabbath in this gun tot
ing country, fired at the freight
train, which being a small object,
was missed by the shootiat, the bull
let striking the leg of Mr.. Bush. He
was brought in Monday morning for
an X-ray examination at the Logan
Sanitarium. The leadeu pellet was
found and extracted.

400 INDICTMENTS FOUND

In communities many times the
size of Knox County where the law
is looked upon as a living force, 400
indictments at one term OF court
would be regarded as monstrous. In
a community where every one feels
he is entitled to follow his own
sweet will 400 indictments or one to
every seventy citizens. is too calmly
regarded. About seventy-fve were
whiskey cases.
At the past term Of court about
twenty-five were convicted of liquor
charges in one form or another and
were fined from $4,000 to $500 90
with thirty days to six months in
Jail.
