Case Ready For Trial
Today
SERIOUS CHARGES

dictment Against Miners, Including
Keeney and Mooney.

Charles Town. W. Va, April "a
The trials of those indicted in an
other part of the State for alleged
participation in the armed march
and skirmishing in Logan county
last fall is scheduled to open here
today. and the men and women des-
tined to figure in the proceedings
have been arriving here in large
numbers for the past several days.
The only event in the otherwise
quiet Sabbath of this town was the
arrival of a special train early this
morning bringing from Logan l2O
persons, mostly State witnesses, and
nine prisoners, who had not been ad-
mitted to bail since their arrest last
summer These were in charge Of
Sheriff Fl. +. Keadle, of Logan coun
ty. assisted by two other Logan
deputies. who acted as guards on
the train.
These prisoners were marched IN
pairs, handcuffed, from the railroad
station to the new county jail here.
Between 800 and 400 other defend
ants, witnesses and relatives We're in
town today, having arrived in the
past two days to await opening of
the trial Monday
Treason, murder and conspiracy
head a list Of charges against the
200 men whose cases are set for trial
in this little county seat of the cas-
ternmost county of the State. Here
iuries selected from an agricul-
tmal community, quite unlike the
mining regions farther west, are
seeking the facts on disorders that
involved thousands of coal miners
sympathizers last August and Sep
tember, almost $50 miles away.
The charges grew out of the march
of miners across Boone county, just
south of the center of the State, TO
the border where it adioins Logan
county. one of the greatest nom
union coal fields of the State. Along
the mountains and creeks that mark
the county borders Logan county
forces. made up of deputy sheriffs.
State police and citizens from many
Of the southern counties, including
not few from the State capital,
Charleston. met what they consid
cred an invasion. and six day fight
ensued, ending only with the dis
arming of the marching forces by
Federal troops. who sent them to
their homes.
Then followed numerous indict-
'ments in the Logan county courts
and in Kanawha county. in which the
capital is situated, until the number
of men against whom charges were
lodged grew beyond the possibility of
strict accounting

GERMANS TAKE
ALLIES REBUKE
IN SILENCE
Decide Not to Reply to
Latest Note on Rus
sian Treaty
INCIDENT IS CLOSED
Russian Explanation Cf Their Reply
10 London Report is Accepted And
French Again Meet Delegates

Genoa, April 21.-AnOther crisis
in the Economic Conference was pas
sed when the German delegation an
nounced last night after a long ses-
sion of it's delegates and frequent com
munications with the Russians and
Italians that the Germans would not
reply to the note of the 10 powers
yesterday stipulating that the sigma
tories expressly reserve for their
governments the right to declare null
and void any clause in the RuSSo-Ger-
man treaty which may be recognized
as contrary to existing treaties
The Germans also decided to settle
by private negotiations the differences
between NJ. BarthOu, head of the
French delegation. and the German
Chancellor, DR.. Wirth, which arose
through NJ. Barthou's written charge
that the Germans had made untruth-
full statements.
Premier Facta and Foreign Minis
ter Schanzer, of the Italian delega-
ton, are believed to have been reSpOn-
sible for this peaceful settlement OF
what threatened to be hopeless bar
rier to real progress in the confer
enceS on economic and financial work.
A member of the German delegation
said that the Allies mad their fan
fare" in today'S note to satisfy the
French and that the Germans had de-
cided they would not encourage bat
tie of notes but would remain silent
and let ,he conference proceed with
its useful work, in the hope that the
economic situation in Europe might
he bettered.
Sunday has been rather a bad day
for the Genoa conference. Easter
Sunday brought the signing of the
Russo-German treaty which created
much disruption, and today came the
note from the big and little EntenteS
and Portugal to Germany, which for
the moment reopened the old wound
that had partly healed.
This note was written to satisfy
the French demands for the more de
finite exclusion of Germany from all
discussions relating to Russian prob
lens. II also asserts specifically that
ii had never been suggested that the
London proposals afforded no basis
for discussion in the conference or
that the German delegation was about
to conclude a separate treaty with
Russia. After making the reserva-
tion with respect to the Russo-Ger-
man treaty, it declares:
The incident may now be regarded
as closed"

AT The new
WILLARD HOTEL
Top Floor of Famous Host
lery is Swept by
Fire
GUESTS ARE ROUTED
Many NOtables In HOtel-LOss Esti-
mated at Quarter of Million Dol
lars

Washington, April 24.-The top
floor of the New Willard Hotel. where
had been staged only few hours be-
fore the spring banquet of the Grid
iron Club, attended by President
Harding and other notables, was
swept by fire at 6 o'clock yesterday
morning.
Hundreds of hotel guests, who were
routed out of their beds by fire alarms
or the fall of water into the rooms
below, made their hasty and incom-
plete toilets mad Scampered to safety
in Peacock Alley on the bottom floor
of the hotel. Peacock Alley, known
throughout the United States because
of the beauty and fashion that one
may see on parade here. never pre-
sented more mixed and excited as
semblage then it did yesterday morn
ing.
However, despite practically every
room in the hotel being occupied be-
cause of the Gridiron dinner and the
holdovers from the convention of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, not life was lost nor an injury
sustained. The property damage is
estimated at anywhere from $2O0.OOO
to 100000. The entire tenth floor
and a part of the ninth floor are gone.
Many soaked, as firemen poured
steady streams of water into the
tenth floor and its big banquet hall
for an hour or more.
National notables whose Sabbath
sleep was broken up by the fire in
Guided Vice President Calvin Cool
idge; Brig. Gen. Charles Sawyer,
physician to President Harding; John
Philip Sousa. Olga Petrova; Adolph
Zukor, the notion-picture niagnate;
Fred W. Uuham, treasurer of the
Republican National Committee; Han
ford MacNider. national commander
of the American Legion; Senator
Coleman du Pont. of Delaware, part
owner of the hotel. and Charles C..
McCord. chairman Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The origin of the fire is undetermined
II is suggested that it might have
started from cigar or cigarette drop
ped as the Gridiron banqueters de-
parted, or by the short-circuiting of
the electrical equipment Of a radio
outfit used by the Gridiron Club.
Discovery of the fire made hv q

and brought all the apparatus from
