A FABRICATION
SAYS HIS WIFE
Hes Innocent" He Whispered
Me, Says Wife of Roy
Harris.
MRS. FARCHILO NOW SOUGHT
Officers Are Inclined to Place Con-
siderable Truth to the
Confession.

Buffalo, n. Y. April 8 (By U. P)
-"He is innocent, he whispered to
me in the district attorneys office"
says Mrs. Roy Harris, who claims
her husband held for the murder Of
Joseph b. Elwell, prominent New
York turfman, told her, but officers
are becoming more and more inclined
to believe that there is much truth
in the confession Harris has made,
that he and William Dunkin We're
hired to slay the New Yorker.
When Harris heard the claim that
his wife had made, he said, Don't
believe that Elwell story that am
innocent"
Young, and very attractive, Mrs.
Harris comes to the front and has
cody dismissed her husbands con-
fession as a pure fabrication of a
disordered mind.
Shrewd criminologists of New
York and the Buffalo police are now
inclined to put more truth in the
Harris confession than they did at
first, and officers in New York are
still bending every effort TO locate
the Mrs. Fairehild, who is said to
have hired Harris and Dunbin to
slay Elwell.

MINERS REFUSED
REQUEST, CLAIM
Turn Down Lloyd Georges APP
peal TO Renew NegO-
tiatiOnS.
SITUATION IS VERY SERIOUS
Transport Workers and Railway Men
Vote to Strike, 1t Is
Said.

London, April 8 (By U. P.)-Hope
of speedy settlement of the English
coal miners strike has received an
other heavy jolt, the British miners
having practically refused Premier
Lloyd Georges request that they re-
new negotiations with the mine
owners, the board of trade announc-
ed today.
The demand of the mine owners
that steps be taken by the miners
to prevent the flooding of the mines,
which the miners will not agree to,
is believed to be the biggest reason
that is keeping committees from the
striking miners from meeting with
the colliery owners.
The transport workers who yester-
day agreed to support the miners in
their strike movement, have been
joined by the railway men VINO have
also voted on a sympathetic strike
movement. 1t is said that the two
organizations have reached an agree
ment for a general strike if ordered.
Plans are being made by the trans
port workers and railway men to
strike on Sunday night if negotia-
tions are not under way by that time
between the miners and coliery own
ers. Lloyd George is prepared to
have government representative
present to open negotiations if the
miners and mine owners should get
together, but there does not appear
to be any immediate hope of commit
tees getting together.
There is no slackening in the pre-
parations to have the nation ready
to withstand prolonged industrial
paralysis, which is certain to come
from general strike, which early
today appears to be certain.
London, April (By u. P.)-One
colliery near Edinburgh was storm
ed by several thousand miners, their
wives and children, a report reaching
here says. Stones and clubs were
used in driving voluntary workers
from the pits.

IS DOING FINE
WORK IN ALMA
Captain Daisy MacClaine of the
Salvation Army is Get
ting Results.
PROTECTOR or YOUNG GIRLS
"War Cry" Publishes Fine Story of
Results She is Achieving
in This City.

A very interesting article on the
work of Captain Daisy MacClaine of
the Salvation Army here, appears in
the War Cry this week.
The article is an inside story of
some of the work that Captain Mac
elaine is doing in Alma, and will
prove of much interest to Record
readers. The article in part follows:
This is a story of a city and a
Salvation Army Corps. 1t relates
how, through cooperation, the in
terests of both are advanced and how
an appreciative community is coll
lecting one hundred per cent on an
investment in the Army.
The name of the City is Alma,
Michigan. It's investment in the Sal
vation Army is of some years stand
ing and consists Of building which
houses the work of the organization
and its officers. This year, some of
the citizens got an idea that the
building did not look as we'll as it
might, so they added several hundred
dollars worth of repairs.
The Salvation Army officer at AL
m a is Captain Daisy MacClaine. In
addition to her duties as Corps Off
Ger she is also a police officer, gen.
cral patron of the helpless and
guardian of a number of girls who
have been placed in her care by the
courts of that place. Her work for
the city is given gratis, and although
on the roll as a regular member of
the Alma police force, she receives
no official salary.
Captain MacClaine is not physical
ly strong. IN combat with an Of
fender against the law she would
scarcely be able to show great phys
cal ability. She might even get the
worst Of the battle. The fact that
she is not a physical giant does not
cause her to tote a gun," either.
Her power as a police officer permits
it, but the Captain is of an Army
that enforces its rule through peace
ful means. She does not need gun.
About month ago, a boy Of fiji
teen years Of age broke into the
Mayors store and stole S14 worth of
merchandise He was brought be-
fore the judge and after hearing,
paroled to Captain MacClaine. To-
day he is attending the high school,
is a member of the Boy Guards at
the Corps, is thoroughly converted
and attends every meeting.
A number of girls who have been
paroled to the Army officer have
bright prospects.
There is an eleven-year-old girl in
ore of the Army Rescue Homes who
has cause to thank the Captain
When she was found the little lass
was a badly abused girl and her fu-
ture seemed anything but rosy. To-
Gay she is attending school and has
all of the care and guidance which
surround home children.
All this without lessening in any
way the development OF the Alma
Corps. There is a splendid Corps Of
Blood and Fire soldiers; large Sun
day School and troops Of Boy and
Girl Guards.

Union City Ready
For 4th OF July
Watson, Barrett and Hardwick to
Speak at Political Rally

UNION CITY, June 20. - If all
the farmers who can find the means
to walk, ride or run to Union City
on July 18th, don't forget all their
troubles, it wont be the fault of the
citizens of Campbell County and the
boys of the Farmers Union.
There are rumblings coming out
of Union City now that indicate the
most gigantic explosion of good
spirits and good time at that point
on the great day of explosions that
Georgia has ever seen.
Here are some of the reasons Of
the prophesy:
According to every accurate source
of information, no less than ten thou
sand cat fish are being fattened for
the slaughter; ten thousand friers
Wa be all dressed up and preuarc
to leave this earth forever; several
hundred hogs and cattle are now
undergoing the last sacred rites be-
fore execution; all the good cooks in
Campbell County, without exception,
are training themselves for one sub
lime effort on the 4th; and all the
citizens of Campbell County are act
ing as hosts.
No less than two hundred Camp
bell County folk ate out daily max
ing arrangements. A big dancing
pavilion is being built on the grounds.
There will be two bands. There will
be special trains; one leaving Fitz-
gerald at 500 o'click in the morning
and covering the route to Union City
; over the A., B. & A.; another over
the West Point out of Atlanta at
$50.
Senator Tom Watson, Gov.-Elect
Tom Hardwick, President of the Ma
tional Farmers Union, Chas. S. Bar
rett, and others will address the
crowd of farmers, which is expected
to be between twenty and thirty
thousand.

was soon extinguished, before much
damage was done.
Sticks soaked in kerosene were
found under the house by the fire
men, with all the ear marks of in
cendiarism. Mcdowell carried no
