Otis Clark, IS, Father
Of Five, in Cell
Awaiting Trial
First to Be Caught in Probe of
Massacre Costing Lives of p
Arrest Follows Apparent
Plan to Make Getaway
Council for Mine Workers
Files Petition for Release

Marion. ILL.,. Aug. 31.-(By A. P)-
Confined in the same narrow cell in
which Settimi Desantis, who precipi-
tated the riots at West Frankfort sew
eral years ago, spent the waning days
of his life before ascending the gall
lows, is Otis Clark, the first man in
dicted by the grand jury investigating
the Herrin riots which took 90 lives,
having been taken in custody this aft
ernoon.
Clark Is the first person caught in
the net of investigation thrown out in
the massacre that took so many lives
and is charged with having slain c. X.
Mcdowell, crippled superintendent of
the Lester strip mine, near which the
massacre occurred.
Clark appears to be we'll educated.
He is dark compleXioned, about the av-
erage mans height. For some time
he has been president of the local min
ers' organization at Weaver ILL.,, and
check weighman at the Old Ben Coal
Cos. mine No. 20. He spends the off
mining season farming at Goreville.
He Is the father of five minor children
and is about 35 years old.
The sale of a moving machine for
one dollar and a half and the sale of
other farm implements at equally low
prices was what caused county officials
to become suspicious that Clark con-
templated leaving this vicinity, and as
a result the indictment against him
was fastened.
A leak, which states attorney Delos
Duty declared gave Otis Clark adj
vance information on his indictment
has been discovered and stopped.
Late today Judge Hartwell an
nounced that A. w. Kerr, chief coun-
sci for the Illinois Mine workers, had
filed a petition for the release of Clark
on bail.
With the indictment and arrest of
Clark, citizens of Williamson county
are prepared for other indictments in
the future. Just when these expect
ed indictments will be returned. if at
all, could not be learned, as the first
was fastened by the force of circum-
stances according to Mr.. Duty.
Frank harrington. Walter Nesbit
and Harry Fishwick, president secre-
tary and vice president respectively
of the Illinois mine workers who ar
rived here yesterday to confer with
Mr. Kerr regarding the defense of any
union miners who might be indicted
returned to Springfield today. They
were active in the first steps taken to
secure Clarks release on bond.

GENERAL EDWARDS
OFFERED COMMAND
BAY STATE GUARD

Boston, Aug. 31.-Major General
Clarence r. Edwards, commander of
the first corps area, and former
commander of the Goth CYankee)
Division in France who will shortly
retire from active service in the
regular army, today was invited by
Governor Cox to become head Of the
Massachusetts, National Guard with
the rank of Major General. In his
letter to General Edwards offering
the post, the Governor said:
The War Department has allotted
to Massachusetts, the 26th Division
and few units of corps and army
troops. The organizat ton of the 26th
division is about 80 per cent COM
pletcd. Splendid progress has been
made in the organization of the units
in the past two years, as the Mas
sachusetts National Guard is second
TO none in the United States.
1T is now my desire. in meeting
the plans promulgated by the War
Department to complete organization
of the Goth Division and reorSanize
the military forces of the Common
wealth in such a manner as may
seem wise in order to fulfill our OBJ
legations to the state and nation.
Such a division would be splendid
agency to conserve and enchance the
the spirit and traditions of all the
Massachusetts men who went to the
colors in the great war.
Upon your retirement from the
regular army l desire to commits
sion YOU as a major general with
command of the National Guard of
Massachusetts, in order that you
from your wide experience. may be
free to develop it to the highest state
of efficiency, observing practical
economies, in accordance with the
provisions of the national defence
acts and the laws of the Common
wealth."

COMMISSION SAYS
PROPOSED mIDvALE
MERGER IS ILLEGAL

Washington, Aug. 31.-The federal
trade commission in a formal COM
plant issued today charged that the
proposed merger of the Midvale. Re-
public and Inland Steel Companies.
constituted an unfair method of
competition in violation Of the fed
eral trade commission act.
The Midvale Steel and Ordnance
Company of Philadelphia, the Re-
public Iron and Steel Company of
New York city and the Inland Steel
Company of Chicago are named as
respondents in the complaint and
are given thirty days within which
to file answers with the commits
sion.
The complaint declares that the
commission after preliminary inquiry
conducted by it, has reason to be-
lieve that the merger or consolidation
of these three companies, which '. IL
center the control of some thirty
FIVE corporations in one group, will
eliminate competition between the
companies, lessen competition and
restrain trade and tend to create
monopoly in iron and steel products
in interstate commerce, particularly
in the States of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana,
Michigan and Illinois"
New York. Aug. $1.-Thomas L.
Chadbourne, counsel for the Midvale
Republic Inland Steel combination,
declared tonight that the federal
trade commissions report disapprov-
ing the merger, would not halt ne
gotiations.
Mr.. Chadbourne said:
"In as much as the attorney gen.
eral has reported favorably on the
! proposed merger and all of the emil
nent counsel whose opinion has been
sought have approved the project
as entirely legal, the three interested
concerns have authorized me an on

Says Alberta Is On
Big Whiskey Spree

Edmonton, Alta, Feb. 16.-Condi-
tions surrounding liquor drinking in
Edmonton at present are the worst in
his experience of 80 years, William
Short, former mayor Of Edmonton,
told Premier Herbert Greenfield and
the cabinet of the farmers govern
ment today.
Mr.. Short told the cabinet that
young men and women are drinking
as never before; hat bootleggers r
making fortunes in cities and rural
districts; that dope peddlers are &C.
tive as M result Of present liquor
act; that people who never touched
liquor are anxious for a change in
system to eliminate secret drinking.
and that the government had better
take charge of the traffic at reason
able tolls and save millions for the
state now going into illicit channels.
]. c. Bremner, president OF two
mining camps, employing 400 men,
asserted that whereas in old days, IL
barrels of beer were drunk to one bot
tie of whiskey, opposite conditions
now prevail. That men paid $1z to
$13 a bottle for bootleg whiskey, and
on Sundays INDUCED in sprees which
left them unfit for work on Monday.
There are not enough police in AL
berta. to enforce the law in the min
ing camps alone, he said. a.
