Newport, Ky, Feb. S-Another
series of street clashes between Ken

their sympathizers, growing out Of
the labor disorders at the plant of
the Newport Rolling Mills, occurred
today. Numerous shots were fired
but, so far as could be learned, no
one was struck by bullets. Several
persons, however, were said to have
been beaten.
While none of the clashes was so
serious as those on the preceding
day, when two men were shot and at
least a score Of others beaten, the
troops were called to repulse two at
tacks against their tanks and one
against truck. Several members of
the attacking parties We're arrested.
In each case, it was announced, the
soldiers fired only after being fired
upon.
Among those arrested vas Jack
Miemeyer, former president Of Local
No. Is of the strikers union.
Aside from the clashes between
the guardsmen and the strike SYM
pathizers, the principal development
OF the day was the questioning by
police of the authority Of the SOL
diers to override them in enforcing
the law. and the sending of an ap-
peal to Washington and to Frankfort
asking that stop be put to condi-
potr since the military occupation OF
a part Of the city.

the police said they were getting
warmer" and the absence of a wom-
ans silken nightdress, said by Henry
Peavey, colored house man, to be
missing from the apartments of Will
liam Desmond Taylor, slain film di
rector. were the outstanding devel
opments here tonight of the search
for his slayer.
The police were reticent as to the
details concerning their search for
the man, a peddler who was be-
lieved to have sought patrons for his
contraband drugs among the en-
ploycs of motion picture studios, but
they intimated their belief he had
attempted to make delivery through
Taylor to an actress who found it
difficult to make her purchases in
person.
The exact importance of the miss
ing night dress, which was pink. was
not made plain.
Peavey, however, was firm in his
declaration that it had regular
place in Taylor's apartments and
equally firm in his assertions that
since his employer was slain, he had
been unable to find it.
After the announcement of the
search for the drug peddler deputy

ton on what they termed the most

New York, Feb. 5-An explosion,
followed by fire. caused a panic
among 500 patrons of n motion pic
ture theatre in West 23rd street this
afternoon, but all got out safely.
The blaze was put out after it had
destroyed several thousand feet of
film and damaged the operating
room.
The play house. one of small seat
ing capacity, was crowded wien the
explosion occurred. Tongues of
flames shot upward, the music
stopped. and in an instant the place
was in an uprOGr.
Several persons were slightly in
iurcd in the crush at the exits. A
cool attendant swung open the doors,
while Mrs. Grace Holly. the pianist,
resumed her playing in an attempt to
restore calm. She was the last to
leave the building.
A police inquiry to determine the
cause of the explosion was begun.

happiness even if Frederick did not.
The setting of the story is almost
entirely in New York and its suburbs,
and it is written with a deftness
which at times approaches brilliancy.
One of the most effective bits is the
effect that the death OF Mariana,
Alethea's step-sister, has upon the
husband with whom she had quar-
relied for the best part of lifetime.
They talked together by the bedside
'of the small happenings of their
early married life, and they We're
utterly absorbed as lovers One
agrees with Mrs. MacConnell that
this was much more natural and
touching than any elaborate deathbed
reconciliation. AS Alethea came up
stairs after her brother-in-law the
night Mariana died she saw him
turn the lights high on the landing
and raise the shade deliberately in
the upper hall. He turned TO her
with wrenched passion and a queer.

neither know nor care
Mrs. MacConnell might have writ
ten a better book if she had per-
mitted the development of her story
more by action and dialogue and had
done less talking about Alethea and
Frederick and their emotions. They
seem somehow TO be characters Of
Mrs MacConnell's mind rather than
living human beings. This is espe-
cially true of Haviland. Even the
most incorrigible philanderer, when
he reaches the point of proposing
matrimony is usually certain that
his path stretches out clear and
straight ahead

Being a girl of spirit MAZDA bites his

The reason for everything is finally

although il may be permissible to say
that Naylor is eventually foiled and
meets a fate he richly deserves.
Mazda and Barry have no reason to
feel dissatisfied at the ending Mr..
Terhune has given their love story.
There is perhaps a little toe much
about earthquakes in Black Gold to

snap judgment on Barry's part, but
if he had been less precipitate prob
ably Mr.. Terhune would not have
had half as exciting a story to tell.
Barry and a cousin buy a ranch near
the Tuscan Peaks and he endeavors
to forget Mazda with intensive agri-
culture as the antidote. He is
amazed when he learns that the
wealthy Mr.. Drace has purchased
the next ranch and that he is con-
structing a stone mansion upon it.
For some reason the old man objects
strongly to trespassers. Barry,
nevertheless. decides to stroll upon
the Drace estate. where in the midst
of a wood he chances upon a pocket
book he gave to Mazda when they
were together in Baltimore. She
must be near by. he reasons cleverly.

not only because of Naylor but also
ON account of Mr.. Drace's valet, who
is blind and sinister IN appearance.
The readers relief at Barry's safety
is short lived, for strange things
happen at his ranch house. There is.
for instance, a malignant face which
peers through the window from out
side at night. 1t is mystifying when
Barry's cousin finds a gold brick,
which has been painted black, on a
hill where it is reported the loot
taken by road agents long years be-

examine it that night in the ranch
house when the mysterious face ap-
