Race Called Off
AS Boat Grounds
C.. of C. Picnic Crowd Turns
To Outdoor Sports and
Swimming.

One of the naval reserve boats,
chartered for the annual picnic of
the Goodfellowship committee of the
Chamber Of Commerce, was rowed
with such vigor that it was sent
headon into the sand of the beach
at Carter lake and there it remained
hors du combat the rest of the eve
ming. Finally a motorboat came to
the rescue and pulled the craft into
deep water.
J. T.. Dysart, chairman of the
committee, commanded the fleet of
vessels which took the Goodfellows
and their wives across the lake to
the picnic grounds. His troubles
became more complicated when the
boat was rendered useless. Never
theless the whole party, $50 of 'etn,
reached the picnic grounds safely.
Dinner, prepared on the grounds by
two of doc. Fry's barbecueists,
consisted of roastin' ears, weiners,
pickles, salad and buns. Many Of the
members ate SO much they were
afraid to go in swimming for fear
of being seized with cramps.
The famous boat race, heralded
and advertised as the chief "stunt"
of the picnic, was postponed when
one of the vessels grounded.
+. A program of outdoor sports and
swimming were enjoyed until 9

his brother, R. A. Stalker, on Wood
bury avenue. He made no attempt
in any way to provide for them. The

Seven men were seriously injured,
one of them perhaps fatally, when a
scaffold on which they were working
at the Pacific Fruit Express com-
pany ice house, near the Union Pa
cihc transfer in Council Bluffs, gave
way, precipitating them to the
ground.
The victims were rushed to st.

ing from internal injuries. Hospital
authorities stated last night that his
injuries may prove fatal. e.
Alfred Bowen. who was still un-
conscious at late hour last night,
sustained possible fractures of the
leg and jaw. His injuries, while
serious, we're not considered fatal.

Wiping Butter Knife
In Whiskers Does Not
Justify Using Hammer

Sioux Falls, S. D., July H.-(Spe-
cial. lis a husband justified in play
ing a symphony on the head of his
wife with a hammer because she
wiped off butter knife in his
whiskers?
This was one of the questions
which had to be considered by Jury
at the trial of Frank Otto Bryan,
charged with attempting to kill his
wife by striking her on the head
with hammer.
The jury evidently believed that
even the wiping of the butter knife
in Bryan's whiskers did not justify
his act for, after trial lasting sew
eral days, he was convicted of assault
with dangerous weapon with in
tent to kill. Bryan was sentenced
to four years and nine months in the
Sioux Falls penitentiary. The jury
in the case was out "a hours before
agreeing upon a verdict, and during
this period the butter knife incident
is said to have been frequently re-
ferred to.

Increase Shown In
June Coal Exports

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, July 17.-Exports of
bituminous coal through Atlantic
ports were heavier in June than in
any month since last November, ac-
cording to the weekly report of the
geological survey. The total was
not far below the record established
in October, 1920. The foreign de-
rnand, due to the British miners
strike, was responsible for the in
creased export movement. With the
settlement of the strike, however,
exports have fallen off, a sharp de-
cline having taken place in the week
ended july 9, when the total. was
only a little more than half that OF
the previous week.
Total ;dumpings at the five At
lantic coal ports during June amount
ed to 100000 tons, an increase over
May of 705,000 tons.
The Fourth of July holiday result
ed in a decline of bituminous coal
production during the week ended
July 9. The total output was only
6.163000 tons.

Many Changes
Proposed For
Sweet Measure
Final Committee Action on
Bill Providing Aid to
Disabled Soldiers
Again Delayed.
Chicago Tribune-o Omaha Bee Leased Wire

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Washington, July 17.-An all-day
session of the senate finance commit
tee again failed to bring forth final
committee action on the Sweet bill
for the relief of disabled veterans.
Practically all of the important
amendments have been disposed of,
but score or more of minor changes
have been proposed. The commit
tee is scheduled to meet again Mon
day to hear Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon further on the foreign
loan question, but an effort is being
made to have him postpone his ap-
pearance until Tuesday in order that
the Monday session can be given
over entirely to the Sweet bill.
1t is unlikely that the Sweet bill
will be laid before the senate before
Tuesday or Wednesday, but arrange
ments are being made to give it the
right of way over all other legislation
as soon as the finance committee
completes its consideration of the
measure.
The committee has definitely ac-
cepted the recommendation of Sem
ator Smoot's subcommittee making
the proposed veterans bureau an in
dependent organization responsible
directly to the president. The COM
mittee has also decided to make no
change in section Is, liberalizing the
present law so that ex-service men
suffering from minor disabilities may
receive treatment.
Assertions made by Senator Smoot
and others, that the bill for consoli-
dation of government agencies. deal
ing with relief of ex-service men
would cost the government $343,000,-
600 annually, we're denied by Repre-
sentative Sweet Of Iowa, author OF
the measure.
After careful examination into the
subject and consultation with Col. c.
R. Forbes, director of the bureau
of war risk insurance, Representative
Sweet declared that added expendi-
lures which would accrue to the gov
ernment as a result of the pending
measure would be approximately
$14. 100000.

see legalized and that it has been

Hatfield Tells
Story Of Battle
In Coal Fields
Chief of Police at Matewan
Says Warrants Were Issued
For Detectives Employed
BY Operators.

Washington, July II. - A first.
hand account of the gun battle at
Matewan. w. Va, growing out of
coal strike troubles was given the
senate investigating committee by
Sid Hatfield, chief of police of the
town, who took part in the fight,
with the result that six charges OF
homicide still are pending against
him.
THE mayor issued warrants for
the arrest Of all the Baldwin Felts
detectives who came to evict miners
families from their houses" Hatfield
said. Il went to serve the warrants
and arrest the men. Albert Felts,
the leader, turned the compliment
en- me and said he had warrant
for me-"
There were IS men in the Felts
party, Hatfield said, adding:
II asked the mayor for warrants
because they were, violating the
town ordinances by carrying guns.
We had been informed also that the
warrants for throwing these people
out of their houses we're Illegal
Unions Paying Costs.
S. B. Avis, counsel for the opera
tors, asked Hatfield if he had not
been instrumental in bringing rifles
into the Mingo field" The witness
said he was now running store
which sold guns,
The cost Of his legal defense was
being paid, the witness said, by the
United Mine Workers.
Denial that any of the $2,500,000
spent by the National Miners union
in connection with the strike troubles
went for arms was made by c. F.
Keeney, union president, under cross
examination by S. B. Avis, counsel
for the operators. The money was
spent, Keeney insisted, to support
tent colonies in which 1900 miners
and their families were housed.
."What do you mean by saying that
mine workers are entitled to the full
social value of coal they produce"
Chairman Kenyon. asked the witness.
ts'It means that a man should re-
ceive all the wealth that he creates
after payment of the running ex-
penses, transportation and fair re-
turn to the men who own the prop
erty," Keeney answered. 1T does
not mean taking the property away"
Denies Violence Used.
He agreed with Chairman Kenyon
that the union was endeavoring ito
get the method of compensation
adopted rather than the present sys-
tenn"
Senator Sterling, republican,
South Dakota, asked if the union
men did not use violence, intifnida-
ton and threats to get nonunlon
men to join the union"
"No," Keeney said, "that is not the
policy of the mine workers"
"What would you do to lclal
union which resorted to such tao
-tics?. Senator, Sterling persisted.
"I'd expel them," he Said.
The committee looked into the
situation at Mingo by which deputy
sheriffs have been employed by pri-
vate concerns. James Kirkpatrick,

salary from the union as well as his
official pay, and named half dozen
men he said the coal operators EN-
