DEPUTIES IN LOGAN
HELD IN ILL REPUTE
Witnesses, Including State
Attorney General, Tell of
Bad Reputation.
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
! CHARLES TOWN. w. Va, June IT.
The mine guard or deputy sheriff
system employed in the Logan county
coal fields today continued the bone
of contention between opposing coun-
sci in the trial of Rev. J. E. Wilburn.
who was indicted by the Logan coun-
| ty grand jury following the miners
march last summer. for the killing
of John Gore. a deputy.
Judge j. NJ Woods has ruled that
testimony regarding the reputation
of the deputy sheriffs among resi-
dents in the vicinity of the firing
line, between Boone and Logan coun-
ties. can be introduced and also their
alleged attitude toward the United
Mine Workers members.
Making the most of the ruling. the
defense today called f. T. England,
attorney general of the state, who
was a resident of Logan prior to his
appointment. to obtain his opinion on
the deputy sheriff system. Mr.. Eng
land answered that in a general way
he understood the reputation of the
Logan deputies in and about Blair,
one of the centers of the march, was
bad" and that their attitude toward
the mine workers union was mot
good" On croSS-eXamination the
state sought to bring out through
the attorney general that the United
Mine Workers did not hold the depu-
ties in any especial esteem, prior to
the march, according to his under
standing. which might account for
the hostile sentiment toward each
other.
Pursuing the same idea, cross-ex-
animation of Luther Mosteller, a
miner of Blair. appearing for the de-
fense, developed that while the resi-
dents of Blair had mo love" for the
deputies they did not hate" them.
nor were they hostile to them.
Ike Wilburn, a son of the defend
ant, was another witness called upon
to tell of the regard in which Blair
residents held the deputies. His testi-
mony was similar to that of other
defense witnesses. He claimed, how
ever, that gas bombs had been drop
ped by men from Logan and that
shots had been fired into Blair prior
deputies at Blair Gap. where Gore
was killed.
]. C. Porter. vice president Of sub
district 2, district II, of the miners
union, stated as witness that he
had gone to mining camps along the
firing line at the instance of c. Frank
Keeney, president of district II, to
call the miners back. and that it was
advised through him that they re-
turn to the mines.

LONDON. June 17.-Libel actions
which have been begun against Loru
Eorthcliffe, chairman of the Associat-
ed Newspapers. Ltd, by Sir Andrew
Card, vice chairman, and Walter q.
Fish, a director of that organization,
have caused sensation in newspaper
circles and are giving rise to much
speculation. Both Sir Andrew and
Mr.. Fish decline to discuss the sub
ject. declaring any accounts of the
reasons for the actions that may be
published will be purely speculative.
Lord Northcliffe himself is in Swift
xerland with H. Wickham Steed, the
editor of the Times. The Northcliffe
indisposition Lord Northcliffe has
been ordered by his physician to abb
stain from work for the present, and
the publication Of the articles he is
writing on Germany has been sus-
pended.
The origin Of the trouble between
the newspaper magnate and his CO.
directors is reported to have been a
divergence of opinion which came up
while Lord Northcliffe was on his
world tour. Lord Northcliffe when he
returned expressed disapproval of
what had occurred during his absence
and strained relations ensued.

Printing House Square and Car

severe crisis, according to the Sum

den interruption Of Lord Northcliffes s

certain peremptory orders received
from Northcliffe while taking a holi-
day in Switzerland.
"In the meantime" adds the Sun

Of the Times, in Switzerland, wrote
home that his lordship was in an
alarming condition of health, with
the result that Lord Rothermere and
q couple of medical specialists at
once set off for Switzerland.
May Give Up Control.
What precisely is the nature Of
Lord Northcliffe's illness cannot yet
be stated. but it seems likely that
he will be incapacitated for some
time and unable to continue his per-
sonal control and the direction of
his papers. For the time being, the
companies are carrying on, and at
their request and in view of North
cliffe's illness, all designations have
been held over.
They have also withdrawn the
advertisements of London news
papers and their millionaire pro
prietors' This was a pamphlet which
Northcliffe wrote and advertised in
his papers, apropos of his resig-
nation from the Newspaper Proprie-
tors Association, criticizzing OWNERS

money in other businesses"
