Knoxville, Tenn.-Twenty-s seven were
wounded, two seriously, when deputies
guarding the Knox County Jail fired
on a crowd which had crossed dead
line" in approaching the jail with the
purpose of demanding Frank Martin,
a negro. held as a suspect in an attack
upon a county school teacher,
All of the'wounded are white. Two
are women. Most of the wounded were
curiosity seekers, who were standing
to one side Of the courthouse lawn,
which is elevated 80 feet above the
street level at the corner where the
Jail stands. One officer, Deputy Sher-
if Charles Lewis was wounded in the
arm by return fire from the crowd.
Although the machine gun company
Of the 117th Infantry. Tennessee Ma
tional guard, was on duty at the jail,
the soldiers did not open fire.
Following reports that the school
teacher had positively identified Mar
tin as her assailant, large crowds be-
gan gathering in the vicinity Of the
Jail. The Jail had been under heavy
guard of deputies, city police and Ma
tional> Guardsmen.
Several times the crowd started
down the hill on Main street leading
to the jail They were turned back
twice by police. Efforts we're made to
hold them a block distant.
Gradually some OF the holder men
edged down the street There were
probably 200 men and boys in the
crowd gradually approaching the Jail.
Several hundred other persons, many
of them women, were in the courthouse
yard looking. down upon the scene.
As the crowd in the street CAME
within 100 feet, Sheriff Cate stepped
under an arc light and demanded that
they dispense He gave warning that
an imaginary line between two tele-
phone poles should not be crossed.
AS a dozen men passed these poles
the sheriff picked up a shotgun and
fired over the heads Of the crowd into
the air. -Four deputies who were with

charged, firing over the heads of the
crowd and driving all of them back to

HARDING QUICK TO
LASKER'S DEFENSE
SAYS LAsKER is MAKING HEAVY
SACRIFICE FOR WORK.
WANTS S4s,50o, 900.
WILSON REGIME TO BLAME
President and His Shipping Board
Chairman Both Declare They ain
herited" the Middle, and Ask
LiberaIity of Congress.

Washington.-The closest coopera-
ton between congress and the ad-
ministration in an effort OF bring
shipping board loses down to a mini
mum was urged by President Hard
ing IN a letter to Senator Jones, re-
publican, Washington, read to the SEN
ate during consideration of bill car
rying $4S,5OO, 900 for the boards activ-
tiles. The president said there had
been "unspeakable losses and unutter
able wastes" which must be charged
to the war emergency.
Chairman Lasker's effort to get big
men to aid in putting the board on its
feet was approved by the president,
who said if they could end operating
losses their salaries would be more
than justified.
At the same time there was pre-
scented letters from Chairman Lasker
saying that sooner or later congress
would be called upon to appropriate
100000, 900 in outstanding claims, in
herited from the former administra-
ton.
The presidents letter in part fol-
lows:
Il could not fail to note the dissat-
isfaction expressed in both house and
senate over the very unsatisfactory
condition of the affairs of The shipping
board and the reluctance Of congress
to make appropriations for the contin-
ued activities Of the board without put
ting specific restraints upon the board s
activities in employing agents or relief.
The shipping board situation is
wholly an inheritance from. the previ-
Gus administration. II would avail
nothing to attempt to outline how the
intolerable state OF affairs came about.
Our great problem Is curingsthe situa-
tion. The difficulty Of this task be-
comes very apparent to me, and had its
reflex in the delay In the final selec-
ton of the shipping board.
at was no easy thing to bring capa-
BILE men to the solution Of this task.
Chairman Lasker is making q very
heavy sacrifice to give him time and
talents to this most difficult work. He
has been able to bring many disinter-
ested advisers to his assistance, but it
il impossible for the board, in creating
it various departments to establish
such organizations by the ordinary
methods of government appointment
and compensation"

VALLEY CHAMPS
AFTER SCALP OF
COAST LEADERS

The Mexicali baseball team, winners
of the Imperial Valley league cham
pionship last winter, may get chance
to test their skill in series of games
with the pennant winners of the Pa
cific Coast league this fall according
to an announcement made yesterday
by President Mccarthy of the Coast
league.
General Abelardo Rodriguez, COM
mander of the military forces of the
Northern District of Lower California,
and oganizer of the MeXicali team, has
challenged the Coast league champions
whoever they may be, to series of
six or seven games, the def being for
warded to President Mccarthy through
James w. Coffroth, racing promoter
at Tiajuana.
Mccarthy looks with favor upon the
generals suggestion and the two men
will meet in Los Angeles in the near
future to arrange for the series.
The MeXicali team made an excel
lent showing in the valley last winter.
After finishing the first half of the
season as the undisputed cellar champs
by wide margin the team went to
the top of the ladder like rocket in
the second half and then trimmed Ell
Centre in playing off the champion
ship series.
Several of the Mexican players COW
cred themselves with glory during the
second half of the season and their
playing occasioned so much favorable
comment that some of them were
spoken of as good timber for the high
er class organized baseball leagues but
they evidently had no special ambition
to leaves their berths in governmental
positions in Mexicali as none of them
made any effort to invade professional
baseball circles.
With the Mexicans playing in the
same form that they exhibited last
winter and with the old faces in the
lineup the Valley League champions
shoS;1d give good account of them
selvesx against the Coast league
champions.

VETERAN TRAPPERS
ARE GETTING READY

With the exception Of the season
1919-192O, when fur values were
pushed up above the skyline, the
outlook for the coming season,
from the trapper's standpoint, is
better than ever, according to ex-
pert opinion.
The fur market has recovered from
the completely demoraliZed condi-
ton into which 1t was plunged some
eighteen months ago and most of
the dealers in the trade find them
or muskrat on hand.
The manufacturers are now COM
ing into the market for their VIM
ter's requirements. The only staple
American fur of which there is any
STABLE stocks is opossum, but
within the next sixty days consid-
cradle Of these will be used up
also.
There are certain quantities Of
foreign furs still available but the
demand is for tho American staples
mentioned above and the trapper To-
Gated in sections where these ami
mails abound has not only a larger
supply than usual to draw from, due
to little trapping being done EAST
year, but has also the prospect of
a ready market at good prices for
all that he can get.
This is the time Of the year when
those who are going to trap should
Get their outfits in shape and if
you need traps, bats, smoke tor
Dedoes or any of the many articles
needed by the successful trapper,
YOU should get them at once so as
