the United Mine Workers TO act. rather
than depend on protests to county and
State officials. and announcing that the
organization was going to send men as
peaceful citizens into Mingo county
to get first hand information on condi-
tions there.
The witness told how the marching
man first walked. then commandeered

which they paid nothing-continued be-
yond Sproul and Danville to a point
near Madison, where they were met by
Keeney. who advised thsm to turn back.
Savoy Holt and others. Reynolds testi-
fled, told the miners that Keeney was
not In earnest in his advice to them to
turn back. even though he was bearing
a message from MaJor-Gen. Bandholz.
The miners were advised by Holt and
others to pay no heed to Keeney's
words. but to continue the march, which
they did.
At Jeffrey Blizzard's column and
Reynolds's column parted. Reynolds
going to the mountains. where the
following morning 1t was deployed into
battle positions. To identify all miners
on the line each wore piece of red
calico around his neck.
The password was II come creeping I"
Miners found within the lines who were
unable to identify themselves were to
be killed, according to the understand
ing of Reynolds.
The fighting. the witness testified,
continued from Friday. September /,
through Sunday. September 8. His men
ran short Of ammunition and retired
to the rear for fresh supplies.
1t was while they were behind the
lines that they. ran afoul Of the United
States troops, who disarmed them and
forced them to the rear. The only cas-
ualties in Reynoldss column were five
men wounded. Three Of these he did
not know by name.
Blizzard. according to the witness
also had about 1900 men in his column.
Reynolds testified his men were de-
ployed over a stretch of ground about
a mile In width and they were shot at
by the enemy" and returned the fire.
He knew nothing of any of the men
breaking into stores and dwellings on
the march to The 'front.'
The purpose OF the men In marching
through Logan to reach Mingo was 70

ganize the counties concerned in the re-
volt. 1t was understood among the mon
that the deputies who acted as guards
at the mines would likely quit their jobs
IL Chafin was got out of the way. 1t
had been the ambition of the United
Mine Worker heads to "get" Chain
for long time previous to the revolt,
according to the witness.
An effort was made by the State to
write into the record the story of the
attempted invasion of Logan county by
miners in 1919, when a march from
Marmet was planned and later stopped
by Federal troops, but the court ruled
that the details were collateral and
could not be introduced

Sticks to Story Of Mine War
Rioting Despite Efforts
of State Prosecutors.
SAW HIM START UP CREEK
Testifies to Going With Union
Chief Along File of Armed
Men on March.

Special Dispatch to THE New York HERALD
CHARLES Town, w. Va, April 29.--
The story Of the mob assemblage and
march of the armed miners from Mar
met. Kanawha county, to the Logan
county line several months ago, the
fighting there and the ultimate dis
arming of the armed miners was told
here this morning In court by Ed
Reynolds of Dona, Kanawha county,
who testified he had led one of the
groups of miners and that William
Blizzard, the union official on trial,
led the other group.
Reynolds testified he saw Blizzard
in the gathering at Marmet, saw him
start up Lens Creek with file Of
men after the meeting, that he saw
him on the train which was comman-
deered near Sproul and that he saw
him at different points between Mar
met and Jeffrey, where the two col
umns parted. According to his testi-
mony, Reynolds did not see Blizzard
again until some days later, when he
met him in Charles Town.
Reynolds stated that while Blizzard
was with the company Of armen men he
could not say that he saw the defendant
actually in command. He testified that
he had neither seen Blizzard give any
commands nor had he seen him drill or
attempt to bring the men into any mill
tary formation.
The defense attorneys attempted to
shake Reynolds's story but Reynolds
met every attack without giving ground.
Attorney Houston asked the witness II
his entire story of having seen Blizzard
leave Marmet with the armed miners
and later of having seen him on the
Communicated train was not a pure
fabrication. Reynolds, however, stuck to
his story.
Evidence was introduced to prove that
Reynolds recently had been in Jail In
Fayette county on charges of collecting
funds under false pretenses and that he
had been bailed. but had not been in
dicted by the grand jury, even though
he had been bound over to await action
of that body.
During the times that Reynolds was
in the witness chair the defense at
torneys intimated they would show that
Blizzard left the Marmet gathering In
an automobile and went to Charleston,
Reynolds occupied the witness stand
during the entire morning, court ad-
journing at noon to convene Monday.
IA Reynolds's story of events leading to
the gathering of the mobs' march and
fighting was as follows:
On August z, at meeting in Charles
ton held in the Capitol grounds, Frank
Keeney, president of District No. IL,
United Mine Workers of America, de-
clared he was going to send members
of the United Mine Workers organiza-
ton into Logan County until the jails
there were filled and the authorities
were unable to feed them. At this point
the defense attorneys attempted to trap
the witness as to the time and physical
sittings of the Charleston meeting, but
Reynolds held to his story.
Reynolds then identified a paper which
was put In evidence that had been is
sued from District No. II headquarters

DEPL0RES GAMBLING
Pittsburgh Expert Says 1t Is Growing Tendency on Part of American Golf Adherents.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Jan 6.-"The growing tendency to gamble on the links is regrettable," said E. Ellsworth Giles, prominent golf player and a member of one Of the fashionable clubs of this district. in his column in . local paper yesterday.
 Golf is a clean sport none cleaner. You couldn't buy a championship title for $1.000,0o0. Fact is, the late An drew Carnegie, offered w. Carnegie his nephew, 100000 on the day that he should win the title, but Billy never got beyond the qualify stage.
 "The selling of pools on the eve of the qualifying round has been a custom for many years, and the eli max was reached at Oakmont when the deposit is said to have amounted to fully s25ooo.
 "On the links there is a prevailing custom to make the stakes at match play among friends minimum, say of . ball a hole, brought here by the British, but our tendency is 10 eN- pansion in certain individual cases"

BAYLOCK GOING STRONG.
Local Boy Playing Sterling Game for
 Connecticut Aggies.

Storrs, Jan. 6-The Connecticut Ag- gie quintet will play it's fifth game of the season Saturday night when it will meet the strong Wesleyan five on the floor of Hawley Armory at Storrs. It is expected that an excellent exhibi- ton will be staged, for the Aggie five has four wins already credited, and is in hopes of maintaining it's winning stride, while Wesleyan is equally de- termined to break the winning streak of Coach Tasker's five.
 West Point was defeated for the first time in two seasons by the Nut meg state boys, and the team was highly commended for the form dis played. Harvard, Brown and Leban- on Valley were also overcome by the attack of the Aggies.
 Interest in the progress of Coach Tasker has been greatly intensified by 'Johnny' Baylock, of New Britain, who has played a part in every vic tory. Baylock's stock went way above par in the first few days of practice, and has not gone down since. He has proven an excellent teammate for Captain Alexander at forward, scoring good many of the total points made to date.

OUT FOR SEASON
Charlie O'Hearn May Not be Able to
 Play Baseball.

New Haven, Jan. 6.--Charles O'Hearn, Yale's brilliant al-round athlete, is now regarded as lost to the hockey team during the season. He has not joined the squad since the Christmas vacation. and reports from his home near Boston indicates that the injury to a leg muscle, which he received just before the team depart ed on its holiday trip. will prevent his participation in athletics for some months He has planned to become a third base candidate this spring, but some doubt is expressed as to his abil- ity to play baseball for another year. Every effort will be made to bring him into condition for the football season next fall and q rest from ath- letics until then is generally expected because of his present condition.

MORE ARRESTS MADE
S1 More Bookmakers and Money Is Seized at New Orleans Track by District Attorneys Men.

New Orleans La, Jan. 6.-"Rac- ing as usual" was the slogan at the Fair Grounds yesterday, despite the fact that at the conclusion of the days racing Wednesdays perform ance was repeated and eighty-one
 booknakers and cashiers were tech nically arrested. Most of those against whom information was filed yester- day had learned the ropes from We'd nesday's arrests and they went direct to the office of the sheriff and gave bonds. This time in the sum of $500 instead of $250, as was the case We'd nesday. Just how long this proceed ure will continue is problematical, but those best informed believe that Dis trict Attorney Mary has just begun his campaign.
 Regardless of this belief track of ficials and officers of the Business Mems Racing association vigorously denied yesterday rumors that the present meeting might be discontin- ued before it had run through the fifth day schedule.

Mas sey paid a tribute to the rapid i'm provement in the bowling averages of the recipients of the prizes, but he added that it was to be expected that they would show improvement under the clever coaching they had receiv- ed. The "Twinkling Stars" Messrs. Gold. Dixon and McCue, were then called to the speakers table, and af- ter they had received their token from the coach. a mighty cheer greet ed them. The trio were unable to say much other than offer thanks

 An original poem. written it is un- derstood by one of the officials of the concern, was read amid great amuse- ment by MT. Hawey. It was dedicated to several of the stars of the league.
 Filled with witticism were the re- marks of Sales Manager Black.
 Massey to Remain
 The league detective furnished evi- dence that a rival league had made overtures to William D. Massey for his services as coach. Mr. Dixon read a letter which had been discovered ex- tending to MT. Massey a very liberal cash consideration if he would forsake his work with the k. X E. Nuts league. There was display of chagrin and tears were also seen to flow from the eyes of some of tn ose present, af- ter MT. Dixon had made the announce ment This soon faded out after MT Massey told his fellow bowlers that although the offer was indeed a tempt ing one, he had decided to remain with the Nuts" for this season at least Cheers, many cheers, greeted his announcement.
 Dixon Urges Support
 Attention was called by MT. Dixon to the opening of the Industrial league tonight at Rogers Recreation alleys. He reminded the formen that the fac tory would be represented by a team, and that as many as could, should be on hand every Friday night to give the boys a cheer.

Berlin. Jan. 6.--Pet dogs have be- come so popular among the feminine population of Berlin that theater managers have been compelled to in stall rooms where the dogs may be checked.
