HE'LL CATS ARE
v|CT0RSAFTE TER
RIOT IN CHURCH
"coIored Billy Sunday Gets
Setback When Troubles Are
Aired in Brooklyn Court.

NEW YORK, March 2.-Opposing
factions OF the Holy Trinity Baptist
Church, negro congregation In
brooklyn, marched to court yester-
day to tell the story Of "a small-siZed
riot" which followed the alleged ac-
ton Of their pastor. Rev. T. 8. Har-
ten, Of Boston, known as the "colored
Billy Sunday" in ordering read at
Sunday vesper service a list OF the
hell cats" and snakes" in his flock.
When the story had been told and
the court had handed down its decis-
ion, pandemonium broke loose I'm the
courtroom. with women dancing down
the aisles and men hurting their hats
into the air and clapping their hands.
Testimony showed that on January
Rev. DIR. Charles d. Patterson had
been ousted from the pulpit by In.
junction. after charges had been pre-
ferred against him, and that the Bos-
ton evangelist-famous for his SER
mons, "A Hot Day in He'll and
What the Devil Do You Want
had been named as his successor.
Then, 1t seems, Mrs. Ella Cheat.
ham, whose husband Is chairman Of
the board of deacons, and who herself
is one Of Patterson's Supporters, cir
culated a paper entitled. why Rev.
DR.. Patterson Is temporarily absent
from his pulpit"
/, On February 10. 1t was alleged.
Mr.. Harten had ordered the church
clerk to read aloud the list Of hell
cats" and snakes" who had signed
the Petition Thereupon, to the
cheers of supporters and Kisses of
her opponents, Mrs. Chatham was
alleged to have marched down the
aisle, snatched the paper from the
clerks hand and tore II up.
All of which led to John Dickerson,
a trustee and Harten supporter, get
ting out a summons for Mrs. Cheat
ham on a charge Of disorderly con-
duct and her appearance in court yes
terday.
Her defense was that she was pro.
tecting her character. The case was
dismissed.

RUMoRS OF VETO HEARD IN
TALK OVER MD. DRY BILL

ANNAPOLIS, March 1.-The fight
to put a referendum on the State
prohibition enforcement act. as
brought to Annapolis by the Anti
Saloon League and as passed second
reading in the House, has not been
abandoned, but during the last few
days is understood TO have gained
considerable strength.
There is a movement among some
OF those who felt they should vote
for the bill as presented TO put the
whole proposition-up TO Governor
Richie. They hope the governor
will veto the measure because OF the
arguments which have been made and
are to be made that many of its pro.
visions are in violation of the prin.
ciples on which the laws of Mary.
land have been based for generations.

Miners
FAMILIES FACE
HUNGER PER|LS
Union Leaders Tell OF Wide
Destitution in Fields OF
West Virginia.

NEW YORK, March 2.-Thirty-
five thousand families Of miners In
West Virginia in danger OF star
walton because, of the wide unem-
ployment in that State, according to
Fred Mooney. secretary Of District
II, United Mine Workers Of Amer
lea. -
Mooney came to New York with
Frank l.. Snyder, editor of the West
Virginia Federationist, and w. T.
Harris president of the West Xn-
GINA State Federation of Labor. to
raise funds for the miners.
There are 10000 miners in West
Virginia out of work today" Mooney
said. Among them are many who
have not worked more than three
months since the armistice was
signed in 1918. They are from the
Kanawha fields and the Grafton
fields in northern West Virginia. T
Little Work Available.
mines in the Kanawha field
have been operating less than 10
per cent in the last four months.
In the Grafton field, out of. 121
mines seventeen are operating part
time. which is generally ABOUT two
or three days a week.
"A few days ago talked to
miners at Michigan and Elmo. W.
Va, who had not a bite to eat for
three days. At Beach Glenn, w.
Va, in Fayette county, they have
only worked fourteen days In 1920
and 1921. In Mt. Clare there
are 500 miners who have worked
but thirty days in the last two
years.
1.-THE Blooming Rose Mine Camp,
in Boone county, has no food ut
all. In Bellslow, w. Va, there are
sixty-three' families. and for nine
teen months they have suffered
without ever making a direct APP
peal for relief.
"Tn Terrible Circumstances"
Many of the statements about
these conditions in West Virginia
have been questioned by the State
officials and by their so-called inves-
tigators. Mayor G. w. Campbell, OF
Huntington, w. Va, made personal
investigation at Wintfrede, a little
place about twelve miles from the
State capital. On his return he made
uOndtlOn Ol eEOO anu Stdttcu q iuiiu
as mayor of Huntington to relieve
the destitute families. There are 298
families in terrible circumstances in
Winifrede.
THE reason for the unemployment
in West Virginia union fields, as we
see 1t, is because the operators want
the miners to break their contracts
with them and go to work at greatly
reduced wages. The contracts which
the operators want to see broken are
those made by the r"v~"~~'~ -
1919 as a result of the bituminous
coal commission aWetID.
THE operators asked for a con
ference to discuss the wage question
about six months ago. They wanted
a reduction in wages.
I'VE put the question of employ.
ment to them direct. Gould you
promise us 100 per cent timer we
asked them. They replied No!
Gould you promise us so per cent
timer They replied No" Gould
you assure us % per cent work?
Again they said No! What
could you give us?' we asked. Just
a little work. but we can't promise
anything was their answer"

There is nothing that will benefit
farmers, really and truly" said Mr..
Conklin. except diversified farming.
Too many farmers put all their eggs
in one basket-namely. all their land
into wheat The legislature can do
little and congress can not do much
more Lending money to a man al
ready overwhelmed by debt is not a
real help
About State Roads.
The proposal for a state system for
highways, provided it can be financed
''in practice as well as in theory" by
the automobile license fund. is a-prac-
tical plan, Mr.. Conhlin believes, but
suggests that this is not the most op~
perfume time to develop it. "ConSid-
ering the present state of the public
mind, suggestion of a $6O,OOO,0OO bond
issue is not apropos," he asserted. 1T
probably would be political suicide to
advocate it. and, while 1 am not much
of rabbit, think it the better part
of wisdom to wait a few years before
bringing up this proposition. AT any
rate, as 1 understand it. the constitu-
ton would have to be amended before
such a plan can be successful
Il went to the legislature two years
ago with ideas that state taxes 1hould
be reduced continued Representa-
tive Conklin- After visiting the state
institutions and seeing how over
crowded they were; how many new
things-buiIdings and equipment
they actually needed, felt that L was
mistaken Appropriations must keep
pace with necessity along educational,
penal and charitable lines.
"A few dollars can be saved here
a nd there in salaries. but while some
employees may be dear at $4,000 a
year. others may be cheap at $4,000
year. So you can't always tell about
the salary business. I am not in favor
of a flat 90 per cent reduction pro-
posed by Governor-elect- Davis"
Believes In Industrial Court.
Mr. ConkIin believes that the prin-
ciple of the Industrial court is correct
IF were TO make a suggestion" he
said, Il would recommend that the
court be left alone and that Governor
Davis appoint two strong, men Ike
William p. Dillars. OF Ft Scott, and
George B. Ross, of Ottawa, as judges
and let them work out this law and
suggest two years hence how it could
be improved. However. if Davis or
anybody else is able to present wiser
plan than the present law and one
easier to enforce then it will receive
my support. But Davis plan thus far
announced, means a letting down and
weakening of the court, in my estima-
ton. I firmly believe that a strike
or the lockout, detrimental to public
welfare, is wrong and public opinion
demands that such conflicts be elm
mated and settlement be reached with
out resort TO such extreme measures.

GERMANY NOW IN DEFAULT
France to Tell Allies She Is Ready
for Reprisals.
(By the Associated Press.) }

Paris, Dec. 27.-The notification to
the allies by the reperations commits
sion that Germany had defaulted in
the del.veryfof telegraph poles. and
lumber, provided for in the schedule
of payments and deliveries on repair
ations account, fixed on May 10, 1921,
is regarded in French official circles
as making applicable the article of
the treaty of Versailles authorizing
the allies to proceed to take reprisa,s
and put into force economic and fl
nancial measures as a penalty.
The matter will come up before the
conference of prem.ers next Tues
day. when Premier Poincare will pro-
pose that the allies formally register
Germany's- default but reserve the
question of applicability of the penal
ties clause. 1t is improbable that he
will demand action before January Is,
when the next cash payment is due,
from Germany.
The French government will main
tain at the premiers' meeting that Ger
many's failure to deliver the lumber
and telegraph poles must be regarded
as evidence of her determination to re-
sist carrying out all her reparations
obligations. The government experts
declare Germany's default is purely
voluntary as she has state forests from
which the deliveries could be made
without difficulty,

CUSTER PAPERS ARE SERVED
Wellington Officials Say They VIII
Plead Not Guilty to Charges.

Wellington. Dec. 27.-Service has
been obtained on two of the three
warrants against Wellington officials,
charging them with plain defiance of
their oath of office" by "conspiring
and cooperating to permit open vio-
lation' of the prohibitory law, gamb-
ling and immoral conditions in Well
ington, il was stated today at police
headquarters.
Chief of Police Dillon and Assistant
Doggett, both were served papers late
yesterday and both men have declared
their intentions of pleading not guilty
to the charges. Mayor Thrall is re-
ported out of the city and it was said
at his office that he probably would
not return before Saturday.
The mayor. police chief and assist
ant chief are named as defendants in
the custer suit which is the result of
a, recent investigation of conditions
alleged by representatives of the state
attorney general department to exist
in Wellington.
The officials are given until January
to reply to the charges it was said.
