STOLEN BONDS
Sell FOR HALF
Such Transactions Force Down
the Regular Market
Price.
lex The Associated Press,

NEW YORK. March 11.-Discovery
today that a block - of stolen Liberty
bonds worth $4,000 had been sold for
half that price caused District Attor-
ney Lewis of King county, who is con-
Quoting an investigation into an al
legged bond ring, to. express the opinion
that such transactions had forced
down the regular market price of Lib
erty bonds during the past two years.
He said he believed the greater part
OF stolen Liberty bonds had been sold
at greatly reduced prices and that ow-
ing to the large number stolen this
would materially affect the price in
legitimate transactions.
MIR. Lewis, continuing the investiga-
ton today. traced a number of the
bonds which Nathaniel Wheeler, brok-
err had in his possession back to Abe
Cohen, who was arrested yesterday.
Mr.. Lewis said he had not yet discov-
cred where Cohen had procured the
bonds.
Daniel G.. Stebbins of Philadelphia,
who was held as a witness, appeared
before Supreme Court Justice Manning
in Brooklyn today to ask that his bail
of $35, 900 be reduced. His request
was refused, the district attorney ar
guing that Stebbins had refused to
disclose facts as to where he had OBJ
tanned stolen bonds worth $4,000
which were found in his possession.

A subsequent statement of Hamons
to the effect that he was shot while
lying in bed also was quoted by DIR.

While DIR. Hardy was on the stand,
the state offered in evidence the

by extreme effort did she maintain her

few changes.
DIR. Hardy told Of caring for Mr..

DEFENSE RESTS
IN Mine TRIAL
Rebuttal of Witnesses by Prose-
cutiOn Will Occupy Several
Days.
(ey The Associated Press)

WILLIAMSON, w. Va, March IL
The defense in the Matewan battle
trial rested late today and before court
adjourned the state had placed its
first rebuttal witness on the stand.
Counsel for the prosecution said to-
night that it probably would take two
or three days to complete the rebuttal
testimony and two days more for ar
guments. They said they did not eX-
pect that the jury would be charged
for another week.
The most sensational Offering Of the
day was documentary evidence taken
from papers which the defense con-
tended were found on the body of Felts.
Only portions of the documents were
given to the jury. One was memo
randum, dated May 13, 1920, which
contained the suggestion that Sid Hat
field, chief of police Of Matewan and
a defendant in the present case, be
employed by the Baldwin -Felts de-
tective agency at a salary Of from
two to three hundred dollars per
month. Whatever arrangements were
made must be under cover" the doc
ument continued, "and have this under
stood with Hatfield. If you make a
deal with him, think you should sug-
gest some means of bringing about a
controversy between him and the
bunch, which viii look plausible and
give him an opportunity of turning
against them and telling them where
TO head in. because that is what we
will expect, if we make a deal"
Another document named the Bald
win-Felts operatives who were to be
sent tc Matewan. The Baldwin men,
shortly before the fight, had evicted
the families of striking miners from
coal company houses.

MEDIATORS FAIL
in Rail STRIKE
Receiver Refuses to Enter Into
Negotiations With Com
miSsiOnerS.
tey The Associated Press.)

ATLANTA, Ga, March 11.-Efforts
by two federal mediators to settle the
wage strike on the Atlanta, Birming-
ham & Atlantic railroad came to a
sudden end here late today when, after
refusal of B. L. Bugg, receiver, to en-
ter into the proceedings, the two COM
missioners announced they would re-
turn to Washington.
The mediators, L. c. Chambers and
Whitehead Kluttz, it was indicated
will place the matter before President
Harding in an attempt to restore serv-
ice on the road, which has been prac-
tically paralyzed since the strike be-
gan a week ago. Their statement was
made contemporaneously with a pre-
dictlon by Col. Bugg to the effect that
practically normal service might be
resumed during the next week with
new crews.
In finally declining to enter into set
tlement negotiations through the COM
missioners, Bugg said:
No matter what conclusion might
be reached by arbitration, 1 could not
pay out more money than the road
earns for the obvious reason that l
would have no means with which to
pay. The proposition is no more sus-
ceptible to compromise than the null
tiphcation table"
The roads payroll in 1920 was
$,203,99S, an increase of 50, ,356, ,66S over
1917, Col. Bugg announced in a state
ment tonight. The raise in rates gave
an operating increase in 1920 of
$1,643,454. he added, which, he de-
clared, failed by $713,214 to meet the
increased wages allowed by the United
States railroad labor board. Col. Bugg
declared the wage reduction of ap-
proximately so per cent of the increase
granted since 1917 was "the least re-
duction" which the roads financial
condition would permit.
Grand lodge representatives of the
brotherhoods and crafts involved in
the strike declined to make any state
ment tonight regarding the latest turn
in the case.
Announcement was made today that
a passenger train will leave here to-
morrow morning for Cordele, Ga. and
that one will leave Cordele Sunday
morning for Atlanta. Passenger, mail
and express service tomorrow between
Birmingham and Lineville. Ala. also
was announced. The road also made
public copies of resolutions adopted in
various towns along the A. B. & A.
protesting against the strike and
promising support for the road.
