Emily Dial, who is veritable school
girl, will meet their friends. This
party will be an old fashioned South
ern tea Thursday afternoon, when the
Senate will turn out almost en- masse
to meet her. Miss Margaret Suther-
land, daughter Of Senator and Mrs.
Howard Sutherland. is the other Soma
torial bud, and she, too, will make her
debut at a tea.
One often sees going about the
streets OF the capital a dainty, charm
ing woman, tall, rather slender and
with white hair devoid Of eurls and
n soft white and pink complexion.
That is Mrs. Heber Votaw, President
Harding's youngest sister, the baby OF
the Harding family. Mrs. Votaw is SO
interested in her work with the Public
Health Service that she accepts few
social invitations. She visits the White
House often. The Bureau Of Engraving
and Printing gave TO Mrs. Votaw the
first proof Of the banknote bearing
President Harding's portrait, and IN
turn the President signed IL for her.
This all happened because Just now

England for more than n century
has been particularly free from poll

shock of the untimely death of a
popular soldier and a member of the
commons in the prime of life, all dis

The sinister methods Of the Irish
factional strife had not been imported
to England before, despite threats
which nccessitated special police pro-

inent officials taking part in Irish af-
fairs. The newspapers demand meas
ures to keep England free of Irish
gunner and their terrorism, Field

it will have other than to intensity
the bitterness pervading the Irish sit

The field marshal created a political
sensation early in the year by his at

whom during nc war he was on terms

Lewis telegram was in reply to one
from State Senator Sneed, a sub-of-
fetal of the miners union asking the
status of the shovel mems union.
lSneed's telegram to Lewis follows:

Lewis replied:
I'm replying to you wire of the 18th

suspended from utilization with the

years ago. 1t was ordered suspended
also from the Mining Department Of

"This organization is furnishing
steam shovel engineers to work under
armed guard with strike breakers.

exists by and between this organiza-
ton and the mining department or
any other branch Of the American
Federation of Labor permitting it to
work under such circumstances.

was followed by the collection of
large numbers of union miners and
sympathizers just outside of Herrin
yesterday. AS the day wore on the
crowd increased and late in the af-
ternoon the attack on the strip mine
was made after three hardware
stores here had been ransacked and
stripped of all arms and ammunition.
Senator Sneed commended Gov.
Small for refraining from sending
militia to Herrin, the senator said:
There are 1900 men in my district
who hold an unparalleled record for
peacefulness." He said that his lat
est information was that all trouble
had subsidized which was caused "by
the sending in of mine guards and
strike breakers"

ties in the miners riot showed the
following dead:
