MINE STRIKE

Federation Repudiates the
Revolution Against
Government.

Johannesburg, Union of South At
rica, Wednesday, March 15.-(By
the Associated Press s.)-The strike
of miners, which has held Sounth
Africa in its grip for more than two
months, has been called off.
The decision was taken by the old
South African Industrial Fedora
ton, as distinct from the fedora
tion's augmented executive. 1t an
nounced first, that the general
strike was null and void; second,
that the augmented executive would
call off the mine strike, and, third,
that completely. in the revolution
against the government was repud-
lated by the federation.
Orded has been restored COM
pletely.
The police declared they have vol
! luminous evidence showing that a
bolshevik plot was responsible for
the revolution. The revelations
will be astounding, they assert.
A government official declares
that the prisoners exceed 5000 and
that those among them responsible
for outrages will be dealt with Sc
verely. The railway men have re-
sumed work.

CHICAGO TAXIS
LARGER IN 1922

Chicago, March 16.-Despite a de-
preston in practically all lines of
business which cut off the taxable
incomes of many persons in the
northern district of Illinois, the
government is expected to receive
a larger sum this year than last
year, according to figures given out
by John C. Cannon, collector of in
ternal revenue.
Up to midnight last night it was
said that federal taxpayers had
turned in by mail or in person $1S,-
500, sos for the first quarterly pay
ment of taxes for the last year. The
additional returns received by mail
are expected to increase this figure
considerably.
The approximate amount of tax
for the first quarter will probably
be $25,O00,G00, Mr.. Cannon said.
Last year the first quarters pay
ments were $22,403, 900.
Hundreds of federal employees
from other offices in the federal
building were pressed into service
during the night to aid in the final
rush.

Probe.

Riverside, N. J., March 16.-Mys-
terry in the Staying of John T.
Brunen, circus proprietor, shot 20
death in his home last Friday
night, was apparently far from
solution today.
County Detective Ellis Parker
declared that publication of the
letter said to have been written by
Brunen to his sister, Mrs. Eliza
beth Jaesche, of Cary, Ill, in which
he said he was being framed in his
own household" and that he fear ri
for his life, had greatly hindered
the investigation.
I'VE would not be justified in
making arrests at the present time,
on the strength of that letter.
Parker said Anyone can write a
letter accusing some one of crime.
but to prove that a certain person
did commit the crime is another
matter.
Wife Not Guilty.
Eve know positively that Mrs
Brunen did not fire the shot; we
want to arrest the man who actu-
ally did the killing and then other
arrests might follow. He is the
man we are after, and not Mrs
Brunen"
Mrs Hazel Parkstrom, the IS
year-old daughter of Brunen. said
that her father undoubtedly had
written the letter in a fit of anger
My father did not know what be
was writing when he wrote that
letter." she said Father was sub,
ject to fits of anger and in one OF
these he wrote that letter to my
aunt My stepmother never tried
TO lead me astray, and also l know
right from wrong"
Mrs. Brunen denied the allega-
tions contained in the letter.

'NVENTS MACHINE
WHICH MEASURES
KICK IN KISSES

San Francisco. Cal. March
16.-Kisses, some of them, kick
up your blood pressure. So
says ]. G. Breitweiser of the
University of California's de-
partment of education. He has
measured the kick.
Given one man and one wom-
an who will kiss, Breitweiser
told the San Francisco Adver-
Using club. he would measure
the linear extent and millime-
ters of blood pressure result
ing from:
The mistletoe kiss.
The stolen kiss.
The expert kiss Of the fin
ished flirt.
The soul kiss.
Breitweiser said the instru-
ment he uses is so sensitive it
will register the domestic kiss;
the degree Of frigidity in kisses
one woman gives another she
does not like, and so forth
throughout all grades of oscu-
lation.
Breitweiser calls his instru-
ment the kissograph. He gets
man and woman who Will
kiss; he attaches wires to
them: then they kiss. The ma
chine acts automatically. He
also said there is no difficulty
in obtaining couples To carry
on the experiments.

FEDERAL PROBE

vestigation of the Erie Railroad S
action in leasing its shops and
contracting shop work in the Mead
vile Machine Railway company of

United States railroad labor board
today. The board authorized 4
member of its personnel to invoke
the aid and counsel of the de-
partment of justice, and to go

tain evidence first-hand.
The Erie contract system came
to the boards notice severa
months ago when shop employ IS
brought action against the road IN
an endeavor to have the practice
of sub-letting shop work declared
illegal. They declared that the
work was contracted to outsite
firms as a subterfuge to place the
shop men without the jurisdiction
of the labor board. The contracting
firms, it was alleged, paid lower
wages than the scale fixed by the
board.
Hooper to Be Named.
No decision has yet been given
by the board, and meanwhile the
Erie contracting has proceeded
until, according to the boards in
formation, all shops on the road
have been contracted to tn Mead
vile company.
The officers of the contract COM
pany are said in the boards an

The former case will be reopened
here and additional testimony will
be taken. Later a member of the
boards public group will go over
the road, taking dispositions under
oath, and making thorough in
vestigation of existing conditions
