The present trouble had its origin
in the Warren and side streets lying
between West and North Queen
streets. The residents of these streets
and Old Lodge Road, another storm
center. are of mixed political views, and
constant pickering Is the result. This
boiled up Monday. A fortunate cir

AS the day progressed the police
patrols increased their effectiveness
and succeeded in getting better control

forces which patrollcd the streets in
the disturbed districts this afternoon

more freely than during the morning,
when bullets flew thick and fast
through the streets.

just what would happen if it became
necessary for the government to send
Federal troops into West Virginia.
Within twentyfour hours after the
head of the marching column had been
turned back from Madison, it became
known that the miners in the unionized
section Of Logan County had not
abandoned their intention to move on
Mingo. Although their numbers were
comparatively small, the news spread
rapidly through Kanawha, Boone, Fay
cite and Wyoming counties. Many of
the miners who had abandoned the
steps and started for Jetfery, where
the union miners Of Logan were
gathered
These reports reached Logan, and
Sheriff Chain sent hurried call for
help to the sheriffs of neighborng
countless and to Governor Morgan.
Two companies of the state police
and number of volunteers were quick
ly dispatched from Mingo County to
Logan. while some 200 or 300 deputy
sherif's we're hastily enrolled in Nc

der Sheriff Hatfield. These forces
hurried TO the mountain range separ-
ating the union and non-union fields,
and the state police early Sunday came
in contact with a body of men march
ing toward Logan. in the fight which
followed four men were killed.
News Of the encounter only added
to the seriousness Of the situation.

state miners were reported as hurry g.
ing to join the forces at Jefery This
movement was continuing even to-day,
and tonight it was estimated that fully
5000, if not more men, were in that
region.

the shooting she saw three men come

more flee in another direction.
Shack Under Surveillance
1t has been the conHntion of the po-
lice that a gang has been making it's
headquarters at the shack, where Hoey
was employed, and prior to the shoot
ing of Neville the police were under
instructions to make visits to the shack
every half hour, in efforts to obtain
evidence against the gang.

Contrary to expectations, the Dali

reply, but after brief consideration
of the British note decided to delay the
next step until the weekend. There
were two reasons for this postpone

the truce is prolonged the danger of
the resumption of hostilities becomes
more remote, and, secondly, because

WILL USE SUMMER KITCHEN
 FOR COLCHESTER sCHooLRooM

 A Summer kitchen" used in connec- tion with camp has been leased by the selectmen of the town of Colches- ter for use as school room for the sixteen children oi the Tenth School Dis trict of that town, according to George R. Sturges, legal director of the state board of education, and it is believed that the school difficulties of the dis trict have been settled for this winter at least.
 It is probable that the town of Col chester will buy or lease a dwelling house and remodel it for a school house for next year. Although the children of the Tenth School District are provided for this year, plans are to be presenreu to the state board of education by the district school committee and the se- lectmen for permanent school house when the board meets at the capitol this week
 Last year the Tenth School District school house was destroyed by fire and the district had to get the use of ah unoccupied store for the remainder of the school year. The district is located in the Cedar Swamp area whose roads ara impa ssable in the winter, thus mak- ing it impossible to transport the dis trict school children to another school
 Because the district committee was unable to furnish adequate facilities. and at the time the selectmen claimed the town was not able to do so at it's ex- pense the state board of education go' the general assembly to adopt a law au. thoFizing the board to intercede 1T towns which have a district system ir behalf of adequate school facilities. | A committee of the board has already held a public hearing in Colchester ant 1t was reported that all parties were | eager to provide adequate school facili | ties in the district
