department Is to ask the police de-
partment to canvass every house In
the city and report the location OF
radio outfits. When these reports
have been made, Inspector Hadley
plans to turn them all over to one
employe, this employe to make inves-
legations.
Persons who have erected radios
without permits will be ordered to
obtain them at once. The District in.
spector. in addition to ordering per
sons to require permits. will inspect
the radio outfit to see II II conforms
with the new regulations. He has
the power to order the radio fan to
make any changes in his radio set
to make the outfit conform with regu-
lations.
No specific penalty for failure to
observe radio regulations will be
provided, but electrical department
officials will adhere to the section
Of the law which covers violations
for which specific penalties are not
provided. The penalty Is $25 for
each day a rule or regulation is
violated, and one month in Jail for
failure to pay the fine.
1t Is not generally known. but n
permit is now required TO install
radio sets. Because of an i:Isuffici-
ent personnel, the electrical depart.
ment has been unable 20 enforce this
regulation. Mr.. Hadley will prob
ably ask the Commissioners 10 seek
deficiency from Congress TO pay
salaries to additional employees who
will be assigned to radio inspection
work.
Radio Fire Hazards.
Mr.. Kern, the assistant electrical
engineer, said today that he was
doubtful whether fire underwriters
would accept responsibility in cases
where radio caused fires, and where
the radio owner had failed TO obtain
a permit, and have his set inspected
by District officials. Mr.. Kern also
said there is considerable danger of
fire from radio.
District officials consider the re.
ceiving set having an indoor antenna
as devoid of hazard.
II was pointed out by District Of
ficials today that one Of the fire dan.
gers in connection with the pres
ent use of radio is The inclination
Of those interested to experiment
with lighting circuits and other high
voltage systems. Even the current
from a six-volt storage battery, II IL
said, is sufficient to cause fire il
the terminals or the wires leading
from them, become crossed. both

have resulted in fires.

BLIZZARD CASE
. To CD To JURY
TH|SAF FTERNO0N
Speedy Verdict in Mingo Min
ers' Treason Trial Is
Looked For.
BY WARREN w. WHEATON.
International News Service.


CHARLESTON. w. Va, May ~
In the same peaceful setting where
a little over half a century ago
twelve men voted to hang John
Brown for treason. a jury will be
called upon this afternoon to pro-
nounce the fate OF William Blizzard,
charged with being a traitor to the
State of West Virginia. A speedy
verdict is looked for after the case
Is finally placed in the hands OF the
jury.
All morning the twelve men whose
decision will write another historic
page in American law. listened with
rapt attention to the concluding
arguments of opposing counsel. They
have been impressed with the titanic
significance OF their decision, which
will be based on testimony of 1863
witnesses. who described the armed
march into Logan county last sum-
mer.
Upon the verdict in the Blizzard
case depends the disposition of
twenty-three other treason indict-
ments, directed for the most part
against officials of the United Mine
Workers OF America. II Blizzard is
convicted, the other cases will be
speedily brought to trial and dis
posed Of II he is acquitted, attor.
neys say there is slight possibility Of
the other cases coming to trial.
Prosecution counsel so far has de.
clined to hazard an opinion as TO
what stand will be taken on the
other treason cases in the event the
Blizzard jury fails to agree on
verdict.
May Indict Attorney.
A hint that Harold Houston at.
torney for Blizzard, may yet he in
dicted for treason in connection with
the march of miners was given by
A. NJ. Belcher, chief of prosecution
counsel, during his address TO the
jury.
Answering Houston's expressed
wonder: why am | not indicted
for treason" Belcher declared:
"If the State OF West Virginia
ever does complete justice in this
case then your question will be all
swered" Later Houston objected TO
Belcher's reference TO Federal in
dictments still pending against Off
cials because of the national coal
strike two years ago.
Belcher denounced Attorney Gen.
eral f. T. England of West Virginia,
asserting Governor Morgan did not
call upon him to prosecute the trea-
son cases because the governor was
not going to act the Judas and I've
tray the interests OF the State into
the hands of its enemips"

They are proud of their Indian
blood, tenacious Of their Indian
traditions, and having tested the
advantages themselves are trying
to show their people the value of
education in holding their own.
Their leader is a young man. by

There is nothing unreasonable
or upsetting in the settlement the
Indians ask. They do not seek
return of the lands they were
promised, nor to disturb titles, al
though some of the greatest for

their lands. What they ASK is
practical and modest, only that
they be given money compensa-

lands at the time the treaties were
made. 1t is stipulated in their

RUSSIAN SAGES OF OLDDAYS
NOW AMONG ABJECTT TTOlERS

MOSCOW, Feb. 4.-Where is the
old professional and intellectual
class of Russia now-the engineers,
critics, scholars and specialists?
The answer is quite simple. They
are wherever there is a chance to
find bread.
An authority on Sanskrit is keep
ing a rather poor restaurant, and
an electrical engineer keeping a
rather successful junk shop. A
critic, whose brilliant pen used to
be the despair or Joy of new play
wrights, is happily conducting
movie picture performances for the
soviet of Tiflis, and the editor of a
long-vanished magazine is unhap-
PLY conducting guests on tours
around the .Kremlin.
The problem of this class is quite
different from the problem Of the
artists, who have Jared rather well
under the revolution, or Of the
would-be intellectuals, of whom the
old Russia was full. These idle,
neurotic souls have been shocked
into the first hard work of their
lives by the revolution. The revo-
luton has either killed them OF or
made active, useful people of them.
Professional Fitness Lost.
But those people. who had always
worked hard, who had had their
speciality and fitted into a particu-
lar place in the old order. have
been jo1ted out Of these places, and
in the majority of cases are now
living lives in which their profess
sional fitness has been cruelty
squandered.

Children Also Suffer.

Through this same reluctance 20
accept responsibility toward the
Indian the Indian children fell be.
tween the local and Federal gov
ernments. They were denied ad-
mission to the public schools be-
cause. it was argued, there should
be Federal schools for them, and
where they were not herded on
reservations they were left with
out school by the government be
cause they were supposed to De
eligible to the public schools. Now.
through test cases brought through
the Indian Board of Cooperation
they have the right to go TO pub
lie schools. where there are enough
Indian children to form a new
school district they sometimes are
lucky enough to get a county al
lowance for maintenance and
money from the Indian Bureau for
a scnoolhouse and land to set II on.
The government also has moved
around to the position, where il
pays tuition in district schools for
Indian children. where there are as
many or more Indian children than
white. SO that objection TO their at
tendance may be overcome and the
burden Of educating the Indians
not fall too heavily on white tax
payers.
