Increased Interest "


Editor The state Journal:
am v-~u pleased with your VEN
ture in ishins as news the Cos
pei of N k. The Bible contains
not alone good tidings of great JOY
for all the people. but it is a great
and noble literature. I feel con-
fident that many Bibles long in dis
use viii be opened and an increased
interest in Bible study will begin
because you have begun the print
ing OF the Gospel in serial form in
your paper.
The Weymouth text undoubtedly
gives the modern reader a clearer
idea of the New Testament. but for
me there is no other version that
can compare with that of King
James
L heartily congratulate YOU on
this undertaking and trust that the
response will be SO favora BILE that it
Will became permanent feature
of your paper.

''CUILTY" SAY IS
AmazOns Who Led March in
Coal Fields in Confession.
Unlawful Assembly RightfulIy
Charged, They Tell Court.

Pittsburg, kan. March 2O.-Forty-
five men and women. mostly women,
involved in the disturbances in the
Crawford county coal fields last De-
cember, admitted their guilt and re-
ceived their punishment in the Craw-
ford county district court here.
They pleaded guilty to unlawful as
sembly and Judge A. J. Curran fined
the recognized leaders 5000 each. the
maximum, and others smaller amounts
ranging down to 81, ordered them
to pay the costs and paroled all of
them as to fines.
C. B. Griffith. assistant attorney
general directing the prosecution, told
the court the state was willing to dis
miss the charges of peace disturb
ances against several of the defend
ants. Fifty persons are on trial.
The maximum penalty for unlawful
assembly is a fine of $500.
The marching last December, which
began on December 13, and continued
three mornings, and resulted in the
sending of state troops here to assist
the sheriff in maintaining order was
alleged to be in protest against the
Imprisonment of Alexander Howat for
violation of the Kansas industrial
court law.
+ Howat, aItho he is out of Jail now
on bond, was not here today for the
beginning of the trials. 1t was said
by friends that he would be in Pitts
burg later in the week.
After the pleas of guilty and brief
remarks by Gallery and Griffith,
Judge Curran announced that he
would either pass sentence at 1880
O'Clock or announce then a postpone
ment of sentence until sentence day
of this, term of court, April 1.
Governor Allen this afternoon issued
"a formal statement in which he as
serted that pleas of guilty by Amazons
in Crawford county was the last chap
ter in the fight to defeat the indus
meant law and order had returned to
Crawford county.
In commenting upon the informa-
ton that forty leaders of the ANA
zenian demonstration in the Pittsburg
district had pied guilty this morning
Governor Allen said:
This is the last chapter in the un-
successful effort of the enemies of the
and override government. 1t has been
a long, hard fight. but I believe that
every one now realizes that the law is
to be obeyed.
1T is. needless to say that I am
deeply grateful for the splendid and
thoro manner in which they have
met all the tests which have chaI-
lenged them in the long contest I
am glad that the district judge sus-
pended the sentences of these women
who were norninalIy responsible for
the riot. They were not the real
leaders. They followed the mis-
guidance of Alexander Howat and his
heutenants- These men are the real
instfgators o. the revolt and in a few
days when the mandate of the stI-
preme court has come down they will
all go to Jail.
This closing incident is a gratifying
indication that the law is bringing TO
the Pittsburg district peace and order.
II the industrial court act had
done no more than TO create the new
respect for law and government which
exists IN the Pittsburg district as the
result of its activities it would have
made itself well worth while"
