The adjoining building which was
occupied by Taylor's Cafe is also a
total loss and several other build

The fire started on the second
story of the theater building from
some cause which has not yet been
determined. When the fire was
discovered the interior was a mass
of flames and for more than an hour
the entire business section of the
city was threatened with destruc-

was completed and opened to the
public in October, 1921. Hope felt

KEC OF BOOZE
CAUSES DEATH
AT HARRISON
Yates Standridge Noted
Convict ON Parole Starts
Trouble = Escaped Pen
Many Times.

Harrison, Ark, April 4.-Yates
Standridge, known as the ~"human
Wolf" lately paroled convict, who
holds the record in the state for
the numbers of times he escaped
from the penitentiary, today lies
wounded here as the result of a
running fight III which Harry Camp
bell was killed. The fight is be
lieved' to have been the result of Il
duel over keg of liquor which
Standridge and his nephew, Alonzo
Standridge, are said to have brought
to Harrison from their home, in
Newton county, Saturday night.
Campbell was shot five times
through the body and probably died
instantly, according to physicians.
Standridge was shot twice through
the abdomen and once in the left
arm. He will recover, physicians
say. Alonzo Standridge escaped.
The killing is the second Stan
bridge has figured in since his
parole from the state prison farm
lat Tucker recently, although Stan
bridge denies that he was implicat-
ed in the former one. This occurred
during a raid on a still in Newton
county ON which Standridge accom-
panied prohibition agents, who are
charged with having killed Teddy
Cox, alleged moonshiner.
Standridge's career of crime dates
back several years, when he was
sentenced to the penitentiary for
murder. He killed another man in
the penitentiary and at one time
had sentences aggregating 81 years
hanging over him. He escaped from
the penitentiary several times and
at one time was at large more
than IL year. At another time Stan
bridge was captured by officers in
Oklahoma City after a running fight
in the business section of the city
| Standridge became eligible to pa
role from the penitentiary three
weeks ago by virtue of the fact that
his sentence had been commuted by
former Gov Brough to Is years.
Campbell, who recently returned
to Harrison after four years in the
navy, shot and killed Frank Susky
during a fight on the streets here
just prior to his enlistment in the

COAL STRIKE
LEADER GOES
BEFORE Com.
MIR. Lewis Presents Miners
Side of Issue-Tells Why
6C0,OOO Miners Quit
Work.

Washington, April 4.-Discussing
before the House Labor Committee
" est erday reasons why 100000 an
thracite and bituminous coal miners
stopped work Saturday in the Unit
ed States and Canada, John l..
Lewis. president of the United Mine
Workers of America, and official
leader of the strike, said the anthra-
cite workers had gone out merely
to await the results of peaceful
over a new wage scale, but that the
bituminous workers are out indefi-
nitely, if need be, to obtain the sign
ing of basic wage contract
The btuminous workers, Mr..
Lewis declared before the commit
tee, which is considering a resolu-
tion to direct appointment by the
president of commission to in
vestigate the coal industry, are out
to "stay indefinitely, if need be,
until the operators of the central
competitive field of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and western Pennsylvania
sign up a basic wage contract, ac-
cording to their pledge, on which
the other coal mining districts of
the United States can settle.
In reply to questions by Repre-
sentative Black, Democrat OF Texas,
as to why the union would not set
tie with operators in states and dis
tricts where work could be resumed
under satisfactory conditions, Mr..
Lewis insisted that competition
would not permit the operators to
fix the wages locally without a
knowledge of the wage scales their
competitors would have.
Can't Deal by States.
Even if the operators Of Illinois,
for instance" he said, 'are willing
to sign up a new scale for them
selves, without regard to their com
petitors, the u. NJ. w. is unwilling
to have its members in Ohio, west
ern Pennsylvania, Indiana, West Vir-
ginia, dragged into the suffering of
a long strike while the Illinois mine
owners take the markets.
Although declaring a national
wage scale the first essential. Mr.
Lewis told Chairman Nolan of the
House committee that if Congress
or anybody else can get "a repre-
sentative number of operators from
all the central fields into a confer
ence, those controlling a substantial
tonnage, | mean, | shall advise the
United Mine Workers and | think
they will take my advice-to nego-
tiate with them for a new contract" ="
Short of this step, he said, miners
and operators comforting by districts
would just be talking-doing no
good"
In speaking of the general condi-
tions of the industry Mr.. Lewis re-
ferred for the most part to bitumin-
tous matters, in view of the wider
scope and importance of that indus
| try. Although the United Mine
Workers stand for naturalization of
coal mines, with adequate assurance
to property owners involved, he
classed government ownership as
impossible at this time
