NEGOTIATIONS TO END
ANTHRACITE WALK0UT
HAVE BEEN BROKEN OFF

Philadelphia, Aug 22.-Nego-
tiatons which had been expected
to result in the settlement of the
anthracite strike were broken off
tonight and peace in the hard
coal regions apparently was as
far off as when the $1,000 min
ers quit work on April /.
The joint conference of opera
tors and miners, which had been
striviE since last Thursday to
reach an agreement on new
wage scale. adjourned at G:30 this
evening to meet at the call of the
secretary upon request Of either
side.
Responsibility for the continue
tion of the strike was laid to each
other in statements by both sides.
Also, representatives of the min
ers and operators were pessimis-
tic as to the resumption of min
ing in the hard coal fields before
or during the winter unless some
unusual or unforeseen suggestion
that would placate the contending
parties would result in a recalling
of the conference.

"HEALER OF BROKEN
HOMES AND HEARTS"
FINED IN CHICAGO

Chicago, Aug. 22.-Albert j.
Moore, self styled "healer Of bro
ken homes and hearts," was fined
800 in police court on charge
that he had taken money under
false pretenses from women who
were disciples at his 'life insti =
tute."
The fine was imposed after
Mrs. James II. Cartwright, wife
of an associate justice Of the SUI
preme court of Illinois, testified
that she had paid Moore $4,000
for lessons in raising the dead.
He told me the deader they
are the easier it is to raise
them" she declared on the wit
ness stand. HE said he could
heal the sick, too, and l was to
be a healer"
well, could he?" she was
asked.
Say" the witness replied, with
scorn in her tone, 'say, he
couldn't even grow hair on his
bald spot"
w. w. Talcott, another witness
whose wife was one of Moore's
converts, said that Moore had
tried to interest him in his be-
liefs.
Anything you want you can
have" was Moore's doctrine. ac
cording to Talcott, who added
that he boasted of his ability to
raise the dead.
Moore-nonchalant, suave. quiet
heard the verdict against him
without the slightest change in
the satisfied smile, with which he
entered the court room in the
midst of a bevy of middle aged
women believers.

LAW s LONG ARM
GRASPs ALLEGED
DRUG SMUGGLER
lBv The Associated Press.l

Los Angeles, Aug. 22,-The long
arm of the American secret serv-
ice, stretched across the sea to
grasp an alleged leader in inter-
national drug smuggling was with
drawn today with David Lightner,
alias D. B. Hibeman, firmly held.
Lightner is wanted at Portland,
Oregon, to answer charges of vio-
lation of the narcotic act and Of
posing as a fedral officer, and has
led officers a merry chase on both
sides of the Pacific.
Lightner was indicted more than
a year ago. He disappeared while
out on bond. The secret service
learned he had gone to sea and
threw radio dragnet all across
the Pacific. He was located aboard
a vessel and taken ashore at Shan
ghai for lodgment in the American
consular prison.
But the captive was a slippery
one. A few days before he was to
have been started back to answer
the charges his cell was found
empty, OHCe DlOIe lllt BONcIH-
ment's agents were warned to be
on the watch so that when a stow
away was found few days later
on the steamer West Farralon,
Paul L. Gross, consular agent, who
was aboard, had him investigated
with unusual care. 1t developed
that he was Lightner.
A special cell was built of steel
bars and there Lightner, burdened
with a ball and chain, was con-
fined. Because of assaults on Of
ficers of the ship, his rations were
reduced to bread and water for
six days, @
Today, when the West Farralon
docked, federal officers were on
hand to take over the prisoner.
They had been warned that Light
ner's associates might attempt to
release him from custody on he
long trip north to Portland and
plans were changed and the man
was arraigned before a federal
commission here. He will have a
preliminary hearing next week.

BILLS READY To
ORDER PROBE Of
COAL INDUSTRY
Would Authorize President
to Create a Board to Get
All the Facts Relating to
the Business.
tB, The Assoeiaied pres..l J

Washington, Aug. 2e.-Congress
was ready tonight to rush through
/, its first stage tomorrow bill rec
commended by the president for
creation OF a federal commission
to get all the facts relating to the
coal industry and on which miners
and operators would not be repre-
sented.
Two bills, slightly different in
some essential provisions were re :.
ported-one to the senate and the
other to the house. The Winslow
measure, introduced Monday, will
be taken up by the house tomor-
row. There was an intimation
that the Borah commission bill,
ordered reported to the senate by
its labor committee, of which Sem
ator Borah is chairman, might also
be called up tomorrow, but there
was a possibility that the senate
would delay consideration until the
house had acted.
While the general view was
that the lhouse would pass the
Winslow bill by wide margin OF
votes, there were rumblings of an
impending fight to be led by Rep
resentative Bland, republican, In
diana, author of a fact finding
commission bill, now on the house
calendar both miners and opera
tors shall have equal representa-
ton on the commission.
An authorized spokesman for
the administration declared at the
White House during the day, how
ever, that the president was op-
posed to commission composed
in part of mine owners and miners.
The Winslow bill would make them
ineligible for membership, but the
Borah measure would leave their
selection to the president,
Advised Of the stand of the
president and the committees. John
L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers, took a hand In the
controversy. In a telegram from
Philadelphia to Representative
Bland, Mr.. Lewis declared that the
Cleveland conference agreement
provided FOR equal representation
on an investigating commission,
and IL the federal government pro-
posed to disregard their rights and
privileges in making an independ-
ent inquiry, responsibility will lie
with those who recommend such
action"
Meanwhile work proceeded on
the draft of emergency legislation
to control coal prices and to pro-
vide for equitable distribution of
fuel. Word reached house men,
bers that the bill would be sub
mitted tomorrow to the president |
for approval by the central coal
committee OF which Secretary
Hoover is chairman. As explained
by Secretary Fall, member of the
committee, two plans were pro-
posed. one giving added powers to
the interstate commerce commls-
sion to enable to use its authority |
for ALLEGATION of coal cars az |
means of holding operators to fair |
prices. The other, it was stated,
would follow the suggestion of the
president for use of funds by
specially created agency to stabi-
lize coal prices. Members OF the
house interstate commerce com

presented, said however, that !t
would contain no provision for any
