WITH MINERS RETURNING TO WORK
COAL SHORTAGE MAY BE AVERTED

Washington, Aug. IL (By the AS
sociated Press).-Early resumption
of coal production in the union fields
covered by the Cleveland agreement
was looked today by administration
officials to avert fuel TROUBLES
throughout the country next winter.
If the miners in those fields return
to work within the next few days,
Secretary Hoover declared, there
should be no serious shortage of coal
during the winter Production Of APP
proximately 100000 tons of coal
weekly made up of about four-ffths
bituminous and one-iifth anthracit?
will be needed, according to Federal
Distributor Spencer.
Even with adequate production, Mr.
Hoover asserted, action by congress
vii! be necessary to enable federal
price control temporarily and to fl-
cilitate the distribution of anthra-
cite and to supply the needs OF the
utthWcst.

strange actions of Perry led to his
being suspected of the crime, the al
legged motive being the securing OF
the money which Harrison had upon
him mt the time. Under pressure,
Perry stated that his mother and
boriher had frequently asked him
when Harrison went TO collect his
rents, and added that II was his
(Perry's) belief that the missing man
had been murdered by Mother Perry
and her son.
On the strength OF this all three
of the Perrys were arrested, tried and
sentenced to death. Joan Perry was
the first TO be hanged, protesting her
innocence. Richard Perry followed
his mother TO the gallows, and finally
John Perry, Harrlson's servant, later
retracted his previous statement and
declared that he knew nothing what
ever of the crime or any possible mo-
tive. g1t
Nearly two years after the three
had been hanged for his murder, Will
liam Harrison returned to his home,
apparently unconcerned, and telling n
tale of having been waylald by high
waymen, kidnapped and spirited away
| TO the continent. For several days,
he stated, his cartors had kept him
| hidden and had then put him on board
ship, though he never vouchsafed
any explanation as TO the motive for
the outrage, for he had comparatively
little money in his possession, and
one of the details Of his story has to
do with the way in which his ab-
ductors. kept him supplied with
money.
Finally, he declared, he was sold to
physician at Smyrna, but he was
able to give no definite description ~
the city nor was he able to explain
how, penniless and unfamiliar with
the languages spoken on the continent,
he was able to find his way back
home.
The only apparent explanation of
the entire affair Is that, for some rea'
son, Harrlson's presence at Campden
was inconvenlent TO some one then In
authority. He had lived through troub'
lous times, and had come into n
changed state of affairs with new
masters He was familiar with a num-
her of secrets, and therefore might
have been better out OF the way for
the time being But the precise ma
ture of these secrets and why three
innocent persons were permitted ia
90 to the gallows for crime which
had not been committed has never
been disclosed.

THE CAMPDEN SECRET

"A tecnth century all England was
greatly excited over what was popu'

Secret" the mystery Of the disappear
ance of William Harrison, who was
supposed to have been robbed and
then murdered. A mother and her
two sons were arrested, tried, convict

later, Harrison returned and told a
most remarkable story of kidnapping
and adventure, filed with such inn
possible and conflicting statements
that It has generally come to be be'

The Man The World Needs
Most
BY S. A. Fishbnrn

All hail and blessed be that man,
The one the world needs most,
on whom all men, in every lind,
Should ever proudly boast;
Who lives and works by Natures
side,
His calling near divine,
For he creates, and SO serves best
His God aud all mankind.
Yet more is due IN praising him
This man of solid WORTH
Without whose work all human life
Would perish from the earth;
For he 1t is both wise aud brave,
Unmoved by thoughtess throng,
Deties the hosts OF anarchy
A foe to all that's wrong.
His tribe increase and happy he,
This inan so true. so loyal,
Who serves his race beyond compare
The man who tills the soil.

warning against a growing tendency
towards speculation throughout the
country as business conditions
improve, was sounded here today by
Comptroller of the Currency Crissin-
ger. in an address before the Florida
Bankers Association. He urged the
bankers to advise their clients toward
sound investments and to use their
influence ito prevent fy-by-night
schemes"
Recent reductions in interest rates,
Mr. Crissinger declared. have been
too generally regarded by the specu-
lative public as a sign of easy profits
in sight when at the present time ii
was of supreme Importance that
money and credit should be available
to sustain renewed business activity.
1.-The present" he said, lis a most
appropriate time for bankers to adj
monish their clients against over-con-
fidence in speculative investments.
The world needs a restoration of op-
portunity to produce and consume
things needed for human progress and
bankers should keep in mind that the
first call for liquid capital must be
laid in behalf of the farmer, the man
ufacturer, the exporter, and in gen.
eral the industrial and commercial
community. II is equally important
that banks be kept from over-extend-
