Strike Not Planned

Chicago, Feb. 22.-(By Assocl-
ated Press)-Leaders of mine and
railroad labor unions in a joint
session today voted to form a
protective alliance" through
which the United Mine Workers
Of America would receive "the full
support" Of a majority OF the ma
tion's railroad employees in the
miners strike proposed for April
l. The alliance as yet does not
call for a sympathetic rail strike
however.
Mr. Lewis without suggesting
any specific program, told the
delegates that he felt the miners
and railroad workers should form
"some definite coalition Which
would react to the benefit OF
both"
1--WE are ready to fight" Mr..
Lewis said, although I am not
vet convinced that the operators
will force us to carry out our
plans for a strike"

OFFICIALS
REPORT ON
DISASTER
Air Service Head and
Chief Pilot On Roma
Give Versions of
Accident

Norfolk, Feb. 22.-Major Gen
eral Mason M. Patrick, head Of
the army air service, made this
statement at the armory base to-
day regarding the Roma disaster:
From the testimony l have
heard so far, 1t Is indicated that
the disaster was due to an acct
dent to the controls regulating
the altitude of the Roma. q
"Blow to Service"
"The ship came down, striking
high tension electric wires, which
caused the fire. There was no
explosion and no fire while the
ship was in the air.
"A very thorough investigation
is being made to determine, IL pos
sible, the cause of the terrible dis
aster, which Is an awful blow to
the air service.
Everything possible is being
done for the families of those who
lost their lives and for the com
fort of the survivors of this great
disaster"
Cause "Not Known"
II have no idea what caused the
accident" said Captain Walter j
Reed, chief pilot of the ill-fated
airship. II doubt If it ever will
be known. OF course we have oul
own theories, but we are not Ger.
tain which is correct.
II had known that there was
7 trouble with the control of tn,
. ship, and it was impossible to cor
, rect 1t after it was discovered.
"The first intimation we haC
that there was trouble was whe1
. we saw the nose of the ship g.
down. We went back to see wha
caused it, and found the contro
was not working.
Everything possible was don,
! to straighten the ship and get he
on an even keel again. Captain
Mabry gave orders to shut off al
e motors. The last four were shu
: off. The forward motor was run

S gineer was 80 thrown out OF hi
position that he could not see tn

Woman u. S. Senator From Mississippi?

JACKSON, MISS.-"Nothing but my
j own death can take me out OF this
race" That's the statement of Miss
Belle Kearney, woman candidate for
United States senator from Mississippi,
state that bitterly fought the ma
tional woman suffrage amendment to
the last ditch.
Political observers here say Miss
Kearney's chance of winning is good
and that a queer twist of politics may
cause Mississippi to send one OF the
first women to the senate! Miss
Kearney repeatedly has defied mascu-
line elements that have sought her with
drawal from the senatorial campaign.

hibition and to win the ballot for wom-

says. "Men have been SO in the habit
Of eliminating or effacing women that

Duel of Artist and Author With Fists

sip over the sensational fistic battle
staged on a lonely bluff overlooking
the Pacific between Harry Leon VIII
son, noted author, and Theodore M.
Criley, noted landscape artist.
The feud began with the community
production of "Pomander Walk" In
which Criley played the hero and Mrs.
Wilson portrayed the heroine. Wilson
is said to have written Criley a twenty
page letter of invective. Then he de-
parted for Honolulu to put himself in
physical condition and notified Criley
of his intention.
For three months the author walked,
swan. and boxed. Then he returned.
The formal written challenge was sent
to Criley and was accepted. 1t is said
that Wilson weighed 1S5 and Criley

Mccoy, it was explained, was
charged with clipping the official city

that have been adopted and approved
by the mayor and sending them along
to the proper officials for enforcement.
He was still trying to explain how
the anti-smoking bill was sent along
when City Clerk Cruise rallied to his

missioner Enright's staff for failing to
examine the purported ordinance care
fully enough to see that 1t was not

Hawaiian Fish Stories.

Fish stories are prevalent in Hawaii,
as elsewhere. Some of them are even
believed For instance, the Honolulu
press recently carried the yarn Of
fish unknown to science being caught
In Hawaiian waters. The strange
specimen was caught in 1000 feet Of
water about 13 miles off Waianae
beach, island of Oahu, by japanese
fisherman. It was On exhibition for
some time at the Aala fish markets.
The fish weighed about $50 pounds,
and was fiat and almost circular in
shape. Its general silvery hue was re-
lieved with fins and snout Of scarlet,
and the dorsal, about 1S inches long,
was spotted with big white dots. Prof.
G. II. Edmondson of the University
of Hawaii, an authority on fish, could
not classify the find. So great was
the curiosity aroused at the local mar
ket that a sharp-minded fellow erected
a booth and charged small fee for
a peek at the freak. He did thriv-
ing business.

PROTECTION FOR WILD BIRDS
Sanctuaries Recently Established In
Lower Gulf Coast Region of Tex
as-Much Animal Life There.

Three wild-bird sanctuaries have
just been established in the lower
Gulf Coast region of Texas, under the
direction of T. Gilbert Pearson, pres
ident of the National Association of
Audobon Societies, who has been
spending several weeks in that sec
ton making a study of bird life. The
reservations which have been taken
over for the breeding and protection
Of birds are Green island, North Bird
island and South Bird island. These
islands already are populated by many
BIRDS some of which are to be found
in no other part of the United States.
During the research of the lower
border region, Mr.. Pearson says, he
discovered not only practically un-
known species Of BIRDS living in the
dense chaparral, but he found TIE
wild animal life. He was especially
interested in the collered peccary,
commonly known In this region as the
javelina, or wild Mexican hog. These
ferocious animals roam the chaparral
by the thousands. Mr.. Pearson said:
"The peccary is the gamest and most
dangerous wild animal in the United
States. The grizzly bear is the only
animal which places the sportsman In
the same danger. An enraged moose
will now and then give hunter plenty
Of action, but wounded peccary will
always show fight. And when his COM
panions smell his blood the hunter Is
in danger Of attack from a herd OF
them"
The peccary Is something like a
cross between an antelope and Wild
boar. 1t is hunted by the Mexicans
for its hide and bristles, and, while
Its meat Is palatable, 1t cannot be
kept like that of the pig.
1t has two sets Of tusks, polished
sharp and adjusted almost with the
precision Of surgical scissors. Mr..
Pearson related an incident in which
a peccary attacked a hunter, cut
through his chaps and boot, leg and
bone. The man was on horseback.
The animal charged after being NOR
tally wounded, making terrible noise
by swapping his jaws as he came on.
He dropped dead ten or twelve feet
from where Mr.. Pearson was.

Miss Kearney started her active
senatorial campaign as soon as it was
established that Senator John S. VIII
liams would not run for reelection.
Having started her career as
school-teacher, Miss Kearney early
turned to uplift work. She became one
of the best lecturers and organizers
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. She also was an ardent suf-
frage worker. In the World war she
went to France at her own expense
and engaged in relief work.

CHICAGO.-A seven years search
~ for the murderer of his sister
ended when Peter Houvouros, res
taurant owner of 2535 North Kedzie
avenue, Chicago, found George Mavro-
gean, twentyfour years old, in New
York city, and caused his arrest. The
warrant was issued in 1913.
Seven years ago Houvouros' family
lived in the mountain village of Trippe,
nine miles from Sparta, Greece. Nav
rogean's family were neighbors. In
1912 MavrOgean wanted to marry
Houvouros' sister, Flora. The girls
family opposed the match and made
arrangements to send her to America.

home she was walking on a country

Criley kept his feet. Wilson went

author made every effort to execute

consequent greatly increased number of

All city taxpayers should enjoy the privi.
