u. S. EXECUTIVE
Committee to Urge President
Harding for Protection
of Jailed Miners.

Have Received Threats
From Guards.

INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 2.-Bearing
an appeal from the union coal min
ers of the country, a committee ap-
pointed at the convention Of the
United Mine Workers of America
left here Sunday night for Washing
ton to ask Pres't Harding to give
protection to 13S miners who are
state prisoners in West Virginia
jails The committee was said to
have no specific plan to suggest TO
the president. but it was pointed out
that federal troops are in Mingo and
Logan counties, which were the
seat Of the recent mine war involv-
ing state troopers and officers, mine
guards, strikers and their sympa-
thizers.
Besides being authorized to give
information directly to Priest Hard
ing, the committee has a written
message from Pres't John l.. Lewis
of the union who said it explained
the West Virginia situation with a
view TO showing that the lives OF the
prisoners are in jeopardy, and that
protection cannot be expected from
state officials.
Message Unknown.
Mr.. Lewis declined TO make his
message public, but among other
things it was understood TO have al
legged that Don Chain, sheriff of
Logan county. had visited the Mingo
county Jail and tainted the prison
ers with suggestions Of an attempt
to break Jail.
Many Of the prisoners are charged
with murder, among these being c..
f. Keeney and Fred Mooney, presi-
dent and secretary respectively OF
the miners union. Others are said
to be held on less serious offenses.
but all are said to be held as a re-
suit of trouble growing out Of tic
miners union effort to organize the
southern West Virginia coal fields.

County Council Will Decide
Today on Fund for En-
plOyment Body.

Civic and city officials Of South
Bend will today bend their efforts
toward a satisfactory solution of the

lIshment of free employment

the establishment Of a free employ
ment bureau is the first step needed
here.
Relief Needed Here.
That many people are out Of work
in the city, has been attested to by
several prominent business men and
manufacturers recently. Although
10 definite census has been taken of
the local field, the action taken by
the councils today will open the way
toward the immediate relief Of the
situation here, officials believe.
Study of the situation is being di-
rected by the Chamber Of Commerce
which recently was responsible for
the consolidation of the temporary
bureau. The work which has been
already accomplished and the trend
Of the jobless condition here, was
explained by an official Of the Cham
Der of Commerce last night.
During tho past week more than
100 men have been placed in posi-
tons temporarily for a day or week.
More than % have been procured
permanent positions.
Bureau Work To Date.
OF the 50 men and II women still
registered. some are able, skilled
men with references; some are dis
abled and ineffective-the first to be
laid off in industry. There have been
a few-quite a few-who failed TO
give a full days work for their re-
cOmpense.

WASHINGTON, oct. .. - This
story Is about the hermit of George
town.
Georgetown is the oldest. quaint
est quarter of Washington. The at

over it's antique red brick buildings
and shaded brick sidewalks.
Georgetown's hermit Is Robert
Todd Lincoln. He is the son Of
Abraham Lincoln.
Few Georgetown people have seen
Lincoln. Those who have describe
him as a bent old man.
"Mr. Lincoln amt home" a negro
gardener tells you. He's at his
country house in New Hampshire.
But he never sees no one, anyway,
even when he's here"
If Lincoln would talk to you, he
would tell this story:
81 was born at Springfield. Ill.
Aug. /. 1S43, while my father was
beginning his fight to the top in
state politics. That makes me rs
now.
I'm 1859 1 was graduated from the
University or ILLINOIS at JTDdna.
While father was at the White
House, I was beginning my course
ut Harvard.
Then the war broke out. I left
school to serve az a cart tain on Cen
eral Grants staff.
"I was discharged in 1S65-and
you know what happened to my
rather then. In my grief I went
back to my old home in Illinois.
'I was admitted to the bar in Chi
cago in 1857 and was married the
following year.
Politics? I was a presidential
rlector. served as secretary Of war
under Garfield and Arthur and later
vas minister to Great Britain.
MY fortune is based on my con-
nection al special counsel for and
later as president Of several big
business concerns in Chicago and
elsewhere"
And now-LincOln has settled
down in the very shadow of his life's
greatest tragedy. And his wife
shares his seclusion.
