Final CHAPTER
is WRIT TEN I'M
MINGO TRAGEDY
Three Men Tried in ConneC-
ton With Killing Sid Hat
field Last August Are
Found Not Guilty.
tBy The Associated pre.s.)

Welch, w. Va, April 24.-The
final chapter in one of Mingos
numerous industrial tragedies was
written here today when jury in
circuit court returned a verdict of
not guilty against G. E. Lively, Bus
ter Pence and William Salters, in
dicted in connection with the kill
ing of Sid Hatfield. A similar ver-
dict was returned when the same
defendants were tried on charges
of having killed Ed Chambers.
On August /, last, Hatfield and
Chambers came to Welch to an
swer for the part they were alleged
to have played in shooting up Of
the little mining town of MohaWsf.
AS they were walking up the court
house steps near where the three
defendants were standing, a shot
rang out, and when the smoke of
general shooting cleared away, the
bodies of Hatfield and Chambers
lay at the bottom of the steps. They
were accompanied by their wives
when the shooting occurred.
Lively was the chief witness
against Hatfield and the other men
who were tried in connection with
the killing of seven private detect
ives at Matewan. In that fight ten
men met death, including Mayor
&C.. c. Testerman. Shortly after
this affray, Hatfield married Test
erman's widow, and soon after sid
went down at Welch, his widow
married a STATE trooper.

mot satisfied without the spiritual
presence of Babe Ruth. The game
lacks excitement unless the king
of swat is in there in person.
Number Baseball didn't
originate in America. 1t is simply
reincarnation of the old Egyptian
game of FOUNDERS, considerably
elevated and glorified.
"Number 3.--Sir Arthur will
Ihenceforth be a baseball fan, in
stead of a cricket enthusiast.
Number 4--The way the Giants
followed the ground balls was won
derful. The way they judged the
flies was remarkable. Outfielders
are more impressive than infield-
ers."
Continuing his deductions. Sir
Arthur said there really vas moth
| ing to prevent him from spiritualiz-
ling in professional baseball, as he
had been taught the game years
ago by his American author friend,
Hamlin Garland. Anyone who could
star at cricket could star at base
ball, he declared, and since he en-
Ijoyed somewhat Of reputation as
a cricketer, in his youth, equal
fame as a "baseballer" should be
easily attained-with little prac-
| tice. he thought.
The principal merits of the Amer
iican game, as seen by Sir Arthur.
are that it is livelier and quicker
than cricket and does not require
such an expensive outfit.
On the demerit side he places the
tendency of baseball to become a
sport for specialized professionals,
played almost entirely by the
young, while in England most men
icontinue their crieketing until
they are well past middle age.

Built Up a Reserve OF
125,000 Tons of Coal at
Charlton Plant.
(By The Associated Press.)

Pittsburgh, Pa, April 24.-Steel
interests in the Pittsburgh district
tonight took a more cheerful view
of the fuel problem than at any
time since the coal strike was
called. although it was admitted
that some independent companies,
whose mines have been closed, still
were uncertain as to their coal
supplies.
OF particular interest was the in
formation that the United States
Steel corporation. through rear
rangemen. o: shipping plans. had
built up a reserve of 125.000 tons
of coal at it's by-product coke
plant at Clarion, Pa. the most
gluttonous consumer of coal in the
entire district, and that about 90,-
900 tons were afloat on the Monon-
gahela river. Also it was stated
that O. steady flow of about $4,000
tons cay mad been started. and
this would be continued, if neces-
sary, as long as the Fayette county
region was affected by the strike.
While there was no announce
ment of increased steel production
| it was accepted in we'll informed
quarters that furnaces and mill
units, listed for resumption about
April /. but postponed when the
coal strike began, will now be
placed in operation if demands OF
the market warrant such action.

ficials announced today that 4
We're working to smash :
bootlegging ring which y
charged had mobilized a yot
former submarine chasers to eet
creation of Americas dry navy"
The federal agents are working
on the theory that the swift craft
that once pursued German U boats
and were sold after the war, now
are posing as naval vessels and,
commanded by officers in the uni
form of the United States, already
have succeeded in running S3,0OO,-
coo worth of rum into the United
States from Bermuda and Havana.
The announcement of the discoV-
cry of the alleged smuggling scheme
was made after former submarine
chaser 101, rechristened the Fidus,
had been napDed in New York har-
Dor by a police boat and customs
launch after she had passed quar-
antine and was darting toward a
pier. Customs men claimed that
they had found aboard her numer-
out charts with marked landings
along the Itlantic coast and Hud-
son river. No liquor was found
aboard her and the crew told a hair
raising tale of having had their
cargo plundered by pirates off the
Long Island coast yesterday.
Held On Technical Charge.
The ex-chaser. said to bear Brit
ish registry, was tied up at the Bat
terv where she tonight was held on
a technical charge that she left Ber =
muda without clearance papers.

house for a severe grilling. After
the examination, which was attend
ed by a representative from the Of
flee of the British consul general,

"Kelly wore the uniform of a

have not as vet made any charges
against Captain Kelly and the

1T is understood that the F'idus
Icarried 2.100 cases of choice Scotch
whisky from Bermuda and that is
what we want to find out. The
vessel failed to show on her mani
Ifest any cargo and after question:
ling by customs agents, it was de-
cided to take her into port and
question the crew."

tlieyed the name John Kelly ficti-
tious and that the captains real
name was M. Stanley Clarke, of
