The plots action ranges through
two main locales, a~ristocratic Eng
lish neighborhoods and the wilder
spaces of South Africa. Lady vi
vienne goes to the Transvaal to find
out the true value of land in which
her father sank his entire fortune be-
fore he died. Coming into contact
with the fierce venom of u%nrestrain-
ed and brutal nature, the rough
characters of the country and the
bitter reality of having worthless
land as her only wealth, Lady vi
vienne is brought down to a realiza-
ton of what is worth while. And
that naturally gives the cue to an
uncommonly interesting love story.
There are numerous melodramatic
thrills in the picture; the finals are a
flood and rescue scene, which is
startlingly realistic.

Bite OF RATHER
KILLS YOUNG BOY

John Twitchell, 13 years old, died
in a local hospital Saturday from the
effect of a rattle snake bite received
the day before. The Twitchell fam
lily live about 20 miles south of Fra
ger. During a recent wind storm
many of the grain shocks on the farm
had been blown down and John had
gone into the field to set them up.
1t was while he was engaged in this
work that he was struck by the blind
RATHER. The boy had removed his
shoes and stockings and the reptile
struck him on the bare foot. The
exact time of the accident is not
known as he was found lying uncon-
scious in the field shortly after noon.
Every known first aid remedy was APP
piled and the boy rushed to this city
for medical attention, but the deadly
poison of the snake had done its
work all too well and death came at
six o'clock Saturday morning.
Burial was made in Greenwood
cemetery Sunday.
1t will be remembered that John
Twitchell, ST., father of this boy, met
a tragic death last winter when a
coal mine caved in and s~uffocated
him.

HOME RULE ALL

Ireland's Success in At

PREMIER NOT |OPPOsED
Lloyd-G George Has Given
Hope to the Welsh
Relatives
(By Associated Pressl

London, April THE birth of the
Irish Free State has led to renewed
talk in some quarters of "home rule
all around" that is, autonomy for
Scotland and Wales as apart from En-
gland proper.
Home rule for Wales has already
entered the range of practical politics,
says an article in the Pail Mall Ga
zette.
Hitherto there have been among
Welsh politicians two schools Of
thought. One has urged the setting
up of a Welsh secretaryship similar
to the office of the Secretary of Scot
land, so that Welsh administration
may first be. disentangled from En-
glish affairs; the other favoring a
comprehensive home rule scheme
without any preliminaries.
Prime Minister Lloyd George, him
self Welshman has limited that he
would look with favor on compre-
hensive home rule measure.
This prompted the Welsh National
Party at Westminster composed of
all the Welsh members of the House
of Commons to draft and adopt a
home rule scheme as the basis of a
measure TO be introduced in Parlia-
ment at the earliest opportunity.
This has, in turn, fired the Scot
tish members, who at party meeting
have appointed committee to confer
with the Welsh members with a view
to joint action.
Under the, Welsh plan the imperial
parliament would reserve its powers
on questions affecting the crown,
peace and war, foreign affairs, regu-
lation of trade and industrial legisla-
tion and postal and other communi-
cations.
To a Welsh parliament would go
control of local government, educa-
tion, Judiciary, agriculture and inter
nal commerce. Restoration of the
ancient office and title of Lord Pres
ident of Wales is proposed. To save
the Welsh rural areas from domina-
tion by the great industrial population
of the south, the We'sh Parliament
would include an upner house, con-
sistia,g of two representatives, of each
count and cnri!y :tsough and two
from the national university of Wales
Thee is some opposition to the
plan even in Wales but the proposals
come nearer to meeting the aspira-
tiols of moderate nationalist Wales
than anything that has hitherto been

LEWIS SAYS WATKINS
|MPE[LEO BY SELFISH
INTEREST IN HIS talk
,By Associated Press)

New York, April z. = Statements
defending bituminous coal operators
in refusing to negotiate central
agreement with the miners union,
made by 7. H. Watkins, bituminous
mine operator of Pennsylvania, be-
fore the house labor committee at
Washington yesterday, were attack
ed here today by John L. Lewis, pres
ident Of the United Mine Workers of
America. Mr.. Lewis said Mr.. Wat
kins' declarations "served merely to
intensity the confusion and bitter
ness now existing"
Mr.. Watkins was quoted as having
said that it would be financial sui
eide" for operators to enter any
agreement with the miners not based
on conditions in each district; that
CONSUMERS have grown disgusted
with the constant failure to get de-
liveries from unionized mines;" that
Mr.. Lewis testimony before the
house body had been Every mislead-
ing" and that, in the anthracite field
"these labor lords have been guilty
of an abuse of power in calling a
strike when the mine owners were
meeting their every call for meeting
and negotiation"
To these charges Mr.. Lewis res
Piled:
Statements of Mr.. Watkins were
characteristic and typical of policy
which he has followed for some time
He is engaged in a fractional quarrel
with the other operators of central
Pennsylvania, the other faction be-
ing headed by Ben Clark. The loss
of tonnage of which Mr.. Watkins SO
bitterly complains, is largely due to
a fierce competitive warfare with his
competing rivals"
The miners chief declared that
Mr.. Watkins, for some time, "has
been engaged in frantic effort to
destroy the relationship between op-
orators and miners in central Penn
sylvania. His utterances are dictat-
ed solely by his selfish personal in
terests."
"His testimony and his attitude
are of a destructive nature and
serve merely to intensity the con-
fusion and bitterness now existing
asserted Mr.. Lewis. "The reaction
Iary attitude of such men is largely
responsible for the arbitrary attitude
of coal operators in refusing to meet
representatives of the mine workers" "

Man Arrested Claims He
Helped Rob Mail
Train of 100000
IS HELD IN JAIL HERE
Department of Justice
Agent Is Here Inves-
tigating

In the act of swallowing about two
ounces of carbolic acid which he held
in his hand in jelly glass, Harold
C. Ernest, alias John H. Jones, was
arrested at o'clock thi- mcrning in
front of the court house by night po-
licemen Tavell and Ferreu. This
morning he confessed to the officials
that he wished to take his life, and
that he was an escaped convict from
San Qunetin prison, where he was
serving a life sentence for partici-
patton in the Bakersfield train hold
up and mail robbery in 1919.
The man appeared to be about
thirty years of age, poorly dressed
and evidently having recently suffer-
ed severe illness. He was emaciated.
He at first was sullen and gave the
name of Jones. This morning he
changed this and said he was going
to tell the truth and then gave the
name of Earnest, saying that he has
a sister, Mrs. Ben Sanders, residing
in Pontiac, Mich.
Earnest said he escaped from San
Quentin on November 6, 1921, and
since that time has been hoboing
around the country. Previous to his
coming here the local police had been
notified to look ut fr man named
John II. Jones who had stolen the
clothing of a man at Green Cove
Springs. Policeman Barber said
that the man who lost the clothing
was personal friend of his and that
he ad said tat Jones was an escape
from San Quentin.
Following the mans confession a
telephone message was sent to the de-
partment of justice at Jacksonville
and Agent Reese came here to inter-
rogate the man. Following this he
sent telegram to San Francisco in
an effort to verify or discredit the
prisoners story. Mr.. Reese places
little credence in it.

DRESS QUARREL
School Girls Refuse to
Lower En- and Are
Expelled
COURTS APPEALED TO.
Thousands Offer Free
Advice on How to
Settle Matter
(By Associated Press,

Lawrence, Kan, April q How
short girls skirt must be to be a
disturber Of scholastic peace, and
when, if ever, it becomes thes concern
of school board, are questions ex-
pected to be laid before the supreme
court Of Kansas, following the recent
action of District Judge Hugh Means
in sustaining a demurrer of the Vim
land, Kansas, rural school board
against his jurisdiction in an action
brought ON behalf of Alice Hansen
and Maude Buchanan, Vinland high
school pupils against the board.
Alice and Maude are Is years old,
and both are farmers daughters.
Court action was brought by J. E.
Hansen, father of Alice, when the
Vinland school board, after adopting
a rule requiring pupils to wear skirts
three inches below the knees, decided
that the skirts of Alice and Maude
did not meet specifications, and ex-
lpelled them until such times as ther
skirts should be lowered.
On. application of Mr.. Hansen,
Judge Means issued temporary or
der directing the school board to per-
nit the girls to return to their stud
les. They did so, without reserva-
tions or amendments as to skirt
length. Then the school board filed
demurrer to Judge Means jurisdic-
tion, which the Judge upheld, and
Hansen's attorney announced an ap-
peal to the supreme court.
The action of the school board STIR
red up a hornets nest in the usual
ly placid community of Vinland. Sup
porters of the school board said the
board was right, that three inches
below the knee was a liberal allow
ance for skirts. Oters, particularly
friends of the girls mothers, said
they believed Mrs. Hansen and Mrs.
Buchanan, who made the costumes in
question at home knew more about
what was right and modest for girls
to wear than any three men in the
county, school board directors or not.
Judge Means was made the recip-
lent of much unasked advice and COM
mendation, from hundreds of persons
in all parts of the United States.
Serious minded women wrote to him
gravely, pointing out the merits Of
short skirts from a sanitary stand
lpoinnt.
Others feared the decadence of ma
tional morals, and still others were
concerned over the peril to national
liberties if school boards were to be
permitted to determine styles.
The most voluble adherents of short
skirts among Judge Means corre-
spondents were women.
One woman said that morals and
skirt lengths had no connection, that
lit was all question of the purpose
and intent with which clothes were
worn. Another declared skirts any
where between the knees and the shoe
tops were entirely proper.
