wlIlJlAMSON, w. va, may e.
The head house of the Stone Noun
tain Coal Corporation at Matewan
was burned by an incinderary fire
this morning. an echo of the bsttle
at Matewan a year ago May 1s, 1920,
in which ten were killed. The battle
last year grew out of evictions out
of company houses of The stone
Mountain company.
The mine has been running with
non-union men who were ru off
the property during the outburst ten
days ago. Last week superintendent
of the mines. S. p. Smith. was beat
en- over the head with a rife by Sid
Hatfield, chief of police at Matewan,
and is just now getting out of the
hospital. Smith had refused an or
der from Hatfield that he take the
non-union miners out of town.
Matewan is accounted the toughest
spot in the Tug river valley.
Police withdrawn.
The destruction of the Stone
Mountain equipment today came
shortly after the state police who
had patrolled the region all day
long, were withdrawn. A detach-
ment of the state constabulary was
shot down to the trouble ground at
once from here.
A. c. McKinberger. assistant state
fire marshal, took charge of a crew
that put the fire out after hours of
work. As usual the bloodhounds
were put on the trail and as usual
they picked up no scent. Trouble
makers down here have learned to
soak their shoes in turpentine.
Feuds sun Live.
One feature of this Industrial
warfare along the Mingo border is
the manner in which it is involved
with old family feuds. 1t is an
reient territory for feuds. The old
Hatfield-McCoy quarrel which fought
itself out for years in territory not
far from here is over. but in the
hillsides many a dormant grudge
of long standing is still cropping up.
Some of thesniping from the Ken
lucky mountain sides is of a per-
sonal nature, more than an attack
on the miners, so many citizens de-
clare. Organizatio nof the "Vigi-
Iante" auxiliary police continued to-
day, and more citizens Joined up to
help put an end to the lawlessness.
Fear Strife in Alabama.
A prediction that open industrial
conflict will break out in the Ala
bama. coal mining field unless the
federal government intervenes. was
made in Washington yesterday by
the American Civil Liberties union.
officers of the union appealed to Sec
retar yof Labor Davis to investi-
gate conditions in that state.
1t is alleged that during a recent
strike which was ended through
action of the state militia, civil
rights were openly violated" by the
governors order. The appeal is
made to the federal department on
the ground that the state authori-
ties in Alabama have done nothing,
and will do nothing. to improve
conditions.

BERLIN. May 22.-The German

test and appeal to do something in
upper Snesia. The government
claims it is being driven to dis

are pouring in from Germans in
upper Silesia.
II is declared in governmental,
circles that unless something is
done quickly the wirth cabinet will
soon fall.
The helplessness of the Berlin

ev EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

Ratification of the Colombia treaty,
by a reluctant senate, did not evoke
many loud cheers in the United States.
Democrats for years had urged the
adoption of the pact as a virtual re-
pudiation of the acts of Theodore
Roosevelt and John Hay in connection
with the separation of Panama from
Colombia. The Harding administra-
ton urged it, not on that ground, but
because it believed this sop to Colon
bia would help to restore amicaDle
feelings toward the United States on
the part of the Latin-American peo-
pies, and also because Americans wish
to develop oil fields in Colombia. All
but four of the Democratic senators
voted for the treaty, presumably for
their old reasons Forty Republicans
obeyed the behest of the administra-
ton, most Of them because they hest
tated to break with 1t On an important
issue so soon after the beginning OF
Mrs Harding's regime. Fifteen Repub-
lican senators refused to turn SO
squarely against the policy of their
party and voted against ratification
after putting up a strong fight, in the
course of which they tried to amend
the pact by provision that nothing In
it should be regarded as a confession
of wrongdoing by Roosevelt In the &C
QUESTION of the Canal Zone.
Colombia will now greedily seize
the gifts made her-$25, 100000 and
valuable privileges in the use of the
Panama canal-and gives practically
nothing In return, not even assurance
of fair treatment for our capitalists
who may invest in her oil fields. II
most of the money does not stick tc
the palms of the grating politicians Of
Colombia there will be a complete re
versal of custom. More important
there is little reason to believe this
treaty, will lessen the hatred of the
United States which is the prevailing
sentiment throughout most of Latin
America. This statement is based or
the opinions of men who are thor
oughly familiar with the Latin-Amer
leans.

sister had gone to sit on his grave
at midnight.
George w. Smith, assistant post
master under Miss Clarke at West
Palm Beach was the first witness
called by the defense at the conven-
ing of court this morning. He testi-
fed that Miss Clarke seemed to lose
all interest in life after her broth
er's death and that she told him that
she had often communicated with her
dead brothers spirit. Other pecu-
liarities han convinced him, he said,
that the post mistress was not of
sound mind. Asked by the states
attorney on cross examination why
he had not reported Miss Clarke as
person of unsound mind to the postal
authorities he said that to report
her would have been INSTRUMENTATION
and added that the inspectors who
visited the West Palm Beach post
Office had known of her peculiarities.
One popularity, he noticed, was
her tendency to replace two cent
stamps on letters with so cent
stamps because she did not like the
color of the stamps of the smaller de-
nominations.
Eight witnesses were called to the
stand by the defense during the sew
enth day of the trial to testify as to
their opinion regarding he sanity of
the defendant. The testimony of the
seven witnesses was a chain of cor
roborative testimony declaring that
Miss Clarke was insane.
