JUDGE COCHRAN
BEGINS 21st YEAR
AS FEDERAL JUDGE
Judge Cochran Opens Court in Gov.
ihgtOn Monday on the Twenty.first
Anniversary as Federal
Judge.

Mondays edition of the Cincinnati
CommercialTribune says:
Time and expense do not deter
Uncle Sam" when witnesses are
needed in his courts. Preparatory to
the convening Of the United States
District Court Monday morning in
Covington it became necessary a few
days ago for Colonel H. NJ. Cox, Unit
ed States Marshal, to summon a wit
ness who resides in Los Angeles, Cal,
to testify in white slave case.
Other witnesses were summoned
from Philadelphia, Cleveland, Chicago
and Detroit. Judge A. NJ. ]. Cochran,
Maysville, KY, will begin his twenty
first year as Judge of his court. He
was appointed by the late President
Mckinley, who died before Judge
Cochrans appointment was confirmed
by the United States Senate. Presi-
dent Roosevelt Immediately reap
pointed Judge Cochran.
Judge Cochran has held three regu-
lar and many special terms of court
each year in Covington, which is the
seat of the Eastern District Of Ken
lucky.
The docket contains fifty-four civil
suits to which will be added large
number of indictments to be returned
by the grand jury, mostly violations
of the national prohibition laws.
Under a recent decision handed
down by Judge Cochran, violators of
the prohibition laws can be prosecut-
ed In criminal and in civil suits. They
must pay the revenue taxes and fines
for liquor found in their possession,
and upon failure to do 30 the govern
ment may levy on any property they
possess for the tax and penalties.
"Bootleggers" possessing property,
It Is predicted, will become scarcer
since this decision was handed down.
They can be prosecuted under the
criminal law even after their property
has been sold by the government.

St, Louis, April 13-Viola Ervine wanted for the murder of Mikey Me Namara, casually walked into the room where the coroner's inquest was being held this afternoon. She made her way to the room along corridors crowded with police detectives who have combed the city snice early morning to find her.
 Taking the stand, the "baby blonde' said she knew nothing of McNamara' g murder, being out to a picture show that night. She said she kept house for the safe blower, but did not live with him.
 Miss Ervine declared she would pay McNamara's funeral expenses as he had no relatives except a sister in Pennsylvania, whose name she had forgotten. The coroner's jury return ed verdict of homicide by unknown

bR|TONS CALL STRIKE ANEW
 FOR APRIL b
(By United Press)

London, April 13.-British miners, railroad and transportation workers today called a general strike, effective Friday. The new walk out replaces the one set for last night and postpon- ed pending outcome of conferences with the government and mine own CTS.
 The three groups, which constitute the Triple Alliance were driven to action when the striking miners re- fused to consider anything less than the naturalization of miner and allied industries.
 Notice of the vote to strike was given by the alliance shortly after Il o'clock this morning, when execu- tives of the three affiliated unions adjourned their extraordinary session.
 Negotiations for the end of the min- CTS strike fell down flatly Tuesday when Lloyd Georges offer was refus- ed with scant consideration. The miners, who are the backbone of the strike, declare they will not recede from their stand for the nationaliza- tion of mines and the calling of a general election. Opponents of union- ism see in their determination a pur- pose to place the mines under gov ernment control and operation and then to seize control of the govern ment through national election, which would place their candidates in positions of power.
 Fridays strike threatens to be nothing less than an industrial re- volution. For the emergency, King Gorge has called out military and naval reserves, and an effort to main- tain communication and transporta- tion may be made
 Lloyd Georges efforts to conciliate the striking union men have met with alternating hope and despair. His first advances for mediation were met with refusal and then more con- ciliatory attitude was manifest, so that by Saturday, the general walk out seemed averted. This hope vanished when the unions refused to accept the first condition of peace, that tht strikers aid in pumping the flooded collieries, and utterly disappeared when ther demand for naturalization of mines was presented.

BLONDE AST0UNDS
 ST. LOUIS POLICE
(By United Pressl

St. Louis, April 13.-Viola Ervine, the "baby blonde" who shared the apartment of Mikey McNamara, found murdered Monday night, coolly re- appeared last night at the city morgue and claimed McNamara's body. She had the body removed to an undertaker's parlor and ordered it embalmed and other details of inter- ment.
 Viola, who is petite and decidedly pretty, wept silently over McNamaras body and then disappeared. Vlolas appearance and disappear ance left St. Louis police blank with astonishment so quickly did it all happen. Early this morning, police reporters of St. Louis newspapers re- covered enough to start search which will cover the city. Discovery of her hiding place is predicted hourly.
 Roberta Searcy, ticket chopper at local moving picture theatre, told po- lice that she knows Viola, but not McNamara. After questioning, po- lice were convinced hat Roberta knows nothing about the murder, and she was released.
 The elusive blonde girl shared Me Namara's apartment up to the time of the murder, and then disappeared. McNamara was identified as one of the most ctive and highly skilled safe blowers in the country with a score Of jobs to his credit on the Pacific coast, He was murdered by one of four men who left the apartment and made their escape in an automobile. The four are also sought by the police.

New York, July 24-Recent devel-
opments in the realm of business and
finance, while they have not been
striking indexes as to the future, have
done much to bring about a healthful
and perhaps permanent change in
sentiment.
Whether this degree Of hopeful
ness, as compared with the pessimism
of not so long ago, is of lasting quail
ity maye be open to debate, but at
the moment it would seem events
were shaping themselves to the
point of ultimately bringing back
such a measure of business recovery
as will form the basis for prosperity.
Dizziness persists in many lines, but
in certain avenues of trade the turn
begins now to be apparent.
last week in reducing their discount rate
to 81 per cent was further testimony
indicating the improvement in credit con-
ditons in the sections involved. Tho
about in part by the fact that demands
for credit are not urgent because of the
stagnation which persists as a heritage
of war readjustment. But there is no
doubt also that the so-called frozen
credits are being gradually released and,
while there is still evidence of difficulty
at certain of the federal reserve points.
nevertheless the striking fact is that
the Improvement in the federal reserve
system since the first Of the year has
been Of large proportions and help can
easily be extended where demand calls.
Gold Held Idle.
There may be some question, however,
as to the permanency Of our credit i'm
provement especially since reserve ratios
have been largely built up by gold I'M
ports. which in the very nature Of things
must ultimately taper off and in the
end we may see &he drift of gold back

1t is perhaps significant that during

other hand, federal reserve gold holdings

Not only were the indications of easier
money to be found in this country last
week, but the international situation as
well showed betterment. the Bank Of
England again cutting its discount rate
to coincide with that at New York. Not

that the European tangle Is working itself

improvement will be noted.
Stock Market stagnate.
The stock market has been following a
course similar to that which has succeed
ed every decline since 1919. but with this
exception, that the degree of stagnation
appears to be more intensified now than
