During Night Vigil

HALIFAX, N. s., March 1l.-Dr.
Walter Franklin Prince, sclentlhc
ghost hunter, today withheld news
of what happened last night in the
haunted house of Alex Mcdonald, at
Caledonia Mills.
This fact taken in connection with
an announcement by DR.. Prince that
he would leave the haunted house

had discovered what or who it was.

night all the ghost bait he could

the reporters out, and single-handed
dare the ghost to come forth and
scare him.

z KILLED, Is INJURED !
WHEN A. B. & A COACH
PLUNGES OVER BRIDGE
GOVERNMENT READY,
STRIKE Or NO STRIKE

NEW SMYRNA, Fla, March Ii
The administration has decided that
the railroads and essential industries
shall be kept going, strike or no
strike on April 1.
president Harding and his cabinet,
according to members of the party
here, have evolved definite pro-
gram of executive action in event
the threatened walk-out occurs.
In the first place, of course, it is
the hope of the administrator that
the strike may be averted. If it &C.
ours, however, it now may be re-
garded as certain that fuel will be
provided even if government super
vision of mines is necessary.
The president is accompanied on
this trip by Attorney Genera. Daugh-
erty, who will be an active figure in
the strike emergency. In addition
Secretary Of War Weeks already has
been in consultation with the presi-
dent, and he naturally would have
an important position in whatever
take.
According to those who. are in a
position to know what is in the adj
ministration mind, there appears to
be little hope of a preliminary wage
conference. The mine workers are
eager to hold such conference, but
operators in the bituminous fields
are so divided on the question that
Il h L.
| likelihood of operators uniting on a
| ment while urging the conference
| does not have any means Of enforc-
| ing such a conference.
If the conference plan collapses,
as seems probable, the government
| is prepared to propose arbitration
through a commission which the
president will appoint. This COM
mission will be made up of one or
more operators to be nominated by
| the producing interests and one or
more miners, to be named by the
union. The chairman is to be named
by the president.
Should the strike actually take
place, the administration will con-
slider court action to restrain the
men from quitting. It is realized by
the cabinet, according to high au-
thority, however, that this would not
in itself keep the mines working.
The men could not be forced to work.
Strike benefit funds could be tied up.
however, handicapping officers of the
union.
| Beyond this the administration has
not looked. 1t can be stated upon

LEADING BANKER PRAISES
OKLAHOMA COTTON POOL
LIKELY
IN C0ART S TRIAL

TALBOTTOM, Ga, March pa
strong array of counsel for Major
Lee H. Coart, retired army officer,
who goes on trial here Monday
morning charged with the murder Of
A. B. McNiece, superintendent Of
Talbot county schools, was making
secret and final preparation Satur-
day night for the trial, and
this fact, coupled with the veil of
mystery that has shrouded the case
from the first, led to the belief that
sensational developments, which
have not hitherto been made public,
would be disclosed early in the trial.
When Major Coart takes the
stand the public will know for the
first time the details of what hap
pened in Superintendent McNiece's
office when the defendant fired the
fatal shots.
The statement has been made that
Major Coart will plead the "unwrit-
ten law" as his defense against the
murder charge. An attornc. for the
defendant, however, positively stated
no such statement has been author
lied either by the defendants coun-
sci or the defendant himself. Ex-
actly what the tactics Of the de-
Tense will be will remain yelled in
mystery until the trial actuall.- be-
gins. :.
A., J. Perryman, one Of the at
torneys for Coart. stated that none.
Of the stories that have been cir
culated for the last few months re-.
garding the line of defense Major
Coart will make had their origin
with the defendant himself or the
defendants counsel. He also said
that Major Coart had repeatedly re-
fused to talk about the case to an
one except his attorneys and had
given out no newspaper interviews.
Counsel for the defense will be
George c. Palmer, ex-solicitor gen.
eral of the Chattahooche circuit;
Judge Render Terrell, of Colum-
bus, ex-solicitor general and superior
court judge of the Coweta circuit,
and brothe of the late governor

lin, ex-attorney General Hewlett

Both counsel for the defense and
prosecution announced that all was
in readiness for the trial and that
the case would be called promptly at;
o'clock Monday morning. The only
delay expected win be In securing q
jury. Only seventy jurors have
been drawn, and it is not. expected
that jury can be had from this
number.
Judge George Munro, who is to
preside, announces that he will not
send out and pick up men, as is
often done, but will draw from the
box in the regular way enough
names to get such additional jurors.

take time. Judge Munro also an
nounces that court will meet at 8
a. m. after the first day and that

to be possible.

Broken Wheel Hurts Car
Thirty Feet Into Creek
Fifteen Miles South Of

Seven persons were killed and six
teen injured Sunday morning, when
a passenger coach on an Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic train, en-
route to Fitzgerald, was derailed fif-
teen miles from Atlanta and sent
crashing into Camp creek, fifty feet
below.
Approximately thirty persons were
in the coach, the last Of the train,
when a wheel on the first truck
burst, sending the car hurdling over
hundred yards of track before the
trestle was reached and almost
crossed, when it suddenly t'irned
over. The coach tore away from the
preceding car as it plunged into
space, and was almost completely
demolished when it fell into the
shallow creek.
The seven persons killed, six men
and one woman, met instant death,
their bodies being badly mutilated.
Several of the injured are not expect
ed to live. From s o'clock until
noon, scores of other passengers and
persons from nearby towns, spurred
by the cries of injured, worked in
the wreckage, releasing those i'm
prisoned and removing the dead.
Ambulances and physicians were
rushed from Atlanta, and the inJur-
ed and dead removed to hospitals
and morgues here. The following
