WASHINGTON. Sept. 6.--Charges that
the invasion Of Logan County. West Vir-
ginia, and the proposed invasion OF
Mingo County was deliberately planned
and fostered by officials of the United
Mine Workers of America were made
here today by Harry Olmsted chairman
Of the labor committee of the coal op-
orators association of the Williamson
field
Mr.. Olmsted's accusations were made
as a formal reply to recent statements
Of Samuel Gompers to the effect that op-
orators of the West Virginia nonunion
fields had refused TO raise their miners
wages in conformity with the award Of
the bituminous coal commission. john
l.. Lewis, president Of the United Mine
Workers, was characterized by Mr.. Olm-
dustry and the last word in industrial
autocracy in America"
Contending that the uprising and
march of the union miners was not
spontaneous, but had been threatened
by mine union officials as early as '1s;
April, Mr.. Olmsted asserted that the
present policy Of the United Mine Work
ers is to destroy all business of non
union operators and bring about the
subsection Of the entire coal industry to
such unjust and unlawful demands as
it may desire to put into effect.
LEADERS CLOSE
TO TREASON.

Workers have brought themselves so

What to Do With Children
When Parents Find SOlace
In Divorce, Big Problem

Out of a total Of 9494 divorce cases
filed between Jan. 1, 1917 and Aug. 1, 1921.
in the local county courts, children were
concerned in approximately 40 per cent Of
the separations.
The cruelest phrase in a divorce petit
tion is that which reads "and the defen-
dant is not a fit and proper person to
have care and custody of said children"
The real meaning of that allegation Is
not apparent in cold type in the com
plant, but when a husband or a wife
testifes in a courtroom that the father
or the mother of the children in question
are not 'ft' to have the future care and
training of the children of their own
blood, the tragedy of the affair is ap-
parent.
A survey of evidence in divorce cases
in the last three and a half years in
the local courts shows that the party
asking for the custody of the children
testified that the plaintiff used profane
language before the children, cursed
and abused them, failed to support them
contributed to the incorrigibility, taught
them to disrespect either their father or
their mother, and in some rare instances
the records show that the father dis
couraged the efforts of the mother 30
sefd the children to Sunday school.
MANY PARENTS
UNFIT, CHARGE.
The most frequent allegation of q
father is that the wife is indifferent to
the welfare of their children because
she refuses to stay home nights.
Another remark so often heard in di-
vorce trials is: my wife won't stay
home nights. She gads about all the
time. She won't get the meals nor patch
the boys trousers or mend the children's
stockings"
Such evidence is followed by a recital
generally on the part of the husband Of

Find Work, Ends His
Life.

Despondent over inability to find
steady employment, Marion Gramley, 81.

today by drinking a bottle of carbolic
acid. He was found IN a dying condition
in field at 1881 Adams street by Harry

soon afterward.
He refused TO take an antidote when
aid arrived and insisted that he wished
to die
He left his home this morning to look
for work and told his family he might
not come back. The bottle of poison
showed that it just had been purchased.
Gramley worked at the Interstate Car

Soldiers No Longer
Than Needed.

WASHINGTON, Sept 6.-orders
for the withdrawal of the 26th United
States Infantry from the West Vir-
ginia riot zone and it's return to its
station at Camp Dix, N. j., will be
issued from the War Department
late today.
Secretary of War Weeks so an-
nounced this afternoon after a short
conference with President Harding.
There are now two regiments c.
regulars in the West Virginia fighting
zone-the 26th Infantry from Camp Dix,
n. J., and the 18th Infantry from Camp
Sherman and Columbus barracks, Ohio.
They have field equipment and total
about 1000 men.
War Department officials said the
26th Infantry would be the unit with
drawn, leaving the 18th Infantry on the
ground. Officials viii not hazard
guess as to hey long the presence OF
the 18th Infantry might be necessary,
but it was stated the regulars probably
authorities appeared able to handle the
situation.
1t is made plain the policy Of the Ad-
ministration is to keep the troops In
West Virginia no longer than necessary
for the protection of lives and property
and the suppression Of insurrection.
Secretary Weeks informed the Presi-
dent that General Bandholtz had report
ed conditions quiet and the situation
favorable, and President Harding ap-
proved the Generals recommendation that
one regiment be withdrawn.
General Baudholtz and the 18th Infan-
try will remain on the scene for the
present at least.
Meanwhile it apparently is uncertain
whether the Kenyon committee Of the
Senaee will begin its investigation of the
mining situation on the ground on Sept.

OTHER MOVES UP

Immediate resumption of steps to
carry out the joint intention Of the
city and county to acquire ground
for a war memorial plaza to be added
to that given by the State of Indiana
will follow rejection of the plaza re-
monstrance by the city council at its
regular meeting last night, city Off
cials said today.
Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby
said he has not had time to ascertain
definitely what the next move will be.
1t is thought it will be the signing of
contract for joint acquisition of the
property bounded by Meridian, Vermont,
North and Pennsylvania streets by the
board of public works, Mayor Charles
W. Jewett and the county commissioners.
A conference between the board of works
and commissioners is expected to be
held Mr. Ashby said he would not be
able to give the matter attention prob
ably until Wednesday.
ACTION COMES
AS SURPRISE.
Because of the fact that a session of
the elections committee with other mem
ters Of the council. held at the city hall
Saturday to consider evidence offered in
the public hearings upon the remon-
strance, was kept secret until today the
councils action last night came as a
surprise. 1t had been generally under
stod that although the elections com.
mittee might make a report upon the

thereon for some time.
Leaders in the movement for a special
election, including DR.. John Taylor and

case would be carried to the Supreme
Court If necessary. This, II is believed
will delay final decision as to whether
