NATION TOUCHED BY. PAWOWA'S GENIUS.
Engagement of IncomparabIe Dancer at the Jefferson for
 One Night Only

Local theatregoers arc looking forward for the coming of the in- comparable Pavlowa and her Ballet Russo comprising 100 members and grand symphony orchestra. Pavlowa will be at the Jefferson theatre for one performance only on Wednesday night. February Is.
 Until 10 years ago, when Pavlowa discovered for us so much sublimated beauty fin dancing, America, as na- tion, followed the narrow puritannical teachings and looked askance at the light fantastic. But like all things that have been long repressed, this instinct, when touched by the flame of Pavlowa's genius, resulted in a nationwide dance orgy.
 In the meantime Pavlowa, the Fokines, Adolph Bolm, Nordkin and other great international artists, have given their energies and time not only to the technical perfection of the classic dance, but to the evo- lution as an expression of life itself --life's beauty, its grace, it's pas- sions, its moods and whims. Paw Iowa herself uses her subtle grace to define character, project mood and emotion in a long gamut. to bring about illusion and touch 1t with beauty or passion.

NANCE O'NE|L STAR l
 PASSION FLOWER"
Dramatic Story of CastlIean Hill at the Jefferson to
 Open Monday

Jacinto Benavente, the distin guish- ed Spanish dramatist, author of "La Malquerida," produced in this country as The Passion Flower" by Richard c. Herndon with Miss Nance o'Nef as the star, and which has been an- nounced as the attraction at the Jeff ferson theatre Monday and Tuesday nights with matinee Tuesday, has made Spanish life in all its phases a profound study.
 sFIis sympathetic treatment of even the lesser characters in all his plays; his attention to the frailties as well as the virtues so the Spanish peasant and the small details which are ever present in his plays, hold him up as man who knows whereof he speaks.
 The Passion Flower" deals with the primitive passions of the people of the Castilian hills, the conquerable love of an otherwise loving husband for his beautiful step-daughter and the jealous, unrestrained emotions of the wife and mother portrayed in Miss O'Neil's own inimitable emotion al intensity.

SLAYER OF AGE ). DAVENPORT WOMAN SOUGHT BY FOSSIL
Bruised and Broken Body of Mrs. Martin Found-Ne- gro Held in Montgom-
 cry Jail

Montgomery. February 1o.-(spe- cial.)-Great excitement prevails in the settlement of Davenport on the line of Montgomery and Lowndes counties as result of the death Fri Say of Mrs. Susan Martin, 7s-year- old invalid. whose broken and bruised body was found at the home of J. J. Davenport Thursday after noon.
 Gus Jones, negro. is held in the Montgomery county jail on a charge of suspicion, but the sheriff has been unable to obtain any information which connected him with the attack Jones denies that he committed crime or that he knows anything about it. Mrs. Martins head was beaten into pulp, her skull was crushed and bones of her arms and hands were broken. When the crime was discovered 1t was thought Birming- hanfs ax murderer had come to Mont gonlery county, but the later con- clusion is that the assailant used an iron bar or heavy stick.
 $500 Taken
 Five dollars had been taken from
  IL Is believed the murderer thought there was large amount of money in the safe and went there to get it. finding Mrs Martin sitting in chair, and, believing she would give tho alarm, attacked her with the stick, Friends of the family declared 1t was not possible for Mrs. Martin to give an alarm which would attract a per- son out of the house. She had been an invalid for many years and could not have attacked the intruder, had she tried.
 Citizens of the Davenport commu- nity trailed footprints with blood hounds started toward his home, which is on the Davenport planta- ftion. The negro insists that he has white men who will testify that he was working at a mill at the time the crime was committed.
 Mrs. Martin is survived by a son, SBm Martin of Gadsden: a daughter, Mrs. Gardner of San Antonio, and a sister, Mrs. Jim Moore of Troy.

BURGLARS RAMPANT
in WATER VALLEY

Some time during Wednesday
night burglars entered the home of
Mr.. r. A. McNabb and extracted
$4,000 and some cents from the
pocket of Mrs. McNabb's fathers's
clothes, who was guest in the home
of his daughter. The thief left no
clues and his identity is unknown.
On the same night parties entered
the home of Mr.. J. 1. Vaughn and
went through his clothes seeking
valuables. The only thing Mr..
Vaughn has missed was sack Of
smoking tobacco taken from his pan
taloon pocket.

been reported to the Herald is re-
ported to have occurred couple Of

Represents the People.
Expressing his resolve to use all
the power of the government to
maintain transportation and sustain
the right of men to work, the at
torney general said he did not APP
pear as representative of the roads
but representing the people of the
United States. Expressing the gov
ernment's friendliness toward all
labor, he continued:
Not Opposed to Labor Unions.
"The government of the United
States is not opposed to labor unions
if they perform such functions as
can be performed in lawful America.
Never while the labor unions limit
Their activities to legitimate acts and
lawful purposes, not injurious to So
ciety at least, while / speak and to
the extent I car speak for the gov
ernment of the United States shall
blow be struck at them"
Not Destroyed But Corrected.
Unions, he continued, should not
be destroyed but they should be cor
rected and restrained.
''If the acts of violence and muir
der are inspired by the unions" he
said, ''then it is time for the gov
zation or association, no matter how
well organized or how powerful it
may be, can hold it's constitution or
it's laws supreme over the govern
ment, the constitution and the laws
Of the United States Of America.
No union or combination Of unions
can under our laws dictate to the
American union"
The north Mississippi herald. (Water Valley, Yalobusha Co., Miss.) 1888-1929, 1922-09-08

Along with the idea of furnishing
protection, it is being urged that the
government use the entire army if
necessary to enforce the injunetions
which have been issued against strike
ers who may perpetrate acts of vio-
lence. 1t is a short step to the use
of troops on trains, irrespective of
whether prospective violators of the
injunctions are actually known to be
in the pathway of trains or thought
to be.
Will Use Troops
Federal troops are bound to be
used in large numbers before the
strike is settled, but there is dis
inclination to use troops unless the
government actually is in control of
the roads. And under such cireum-
stances, the strikers are not to in
terrupt traffic, but are represented
as more than eager to effect set
tlement.
The moment government control
starts, the shopmen will return to
work. The moment troops are used
to protect trains which are run by
their owners, the acts of violence
probably will cease, but labor lead
ers who are not given to exag-
gerated statements predict that the
backs of the strikers will be stiff
fened and they will refuse even more
staunchly to return to their jobs.
Then it would be a question of
getting competent worllmen. On
this question no exact information
is available. President Harding has
been given the guesses and conjec-
lures of all interested parties on
this point. He has only his expe-
rience in the coal strike to 60 on
for he was told that if protection
were furnished there would be plen-
ty Of men willing to mine coal, in
vited the operators to reopen their
mines under those conditions but
very little increase in coal produc-
ton was seen.
Mr.. Harding is personally opposed
to seizing any railroads. He has on
ly permitted his mind thus far to
gauge the possibility Of asking con-
gress for the necessary power while
promising not to exercise it.
The drift Of events, however, il
slowly in that direction unless some
mediation be advised during the next
two weeks to prevent it.

The Railway Employees Depart
Of the American Federation of La
Dor, B. M. Jewell, its president, ].
F. McGrath, president, and John
Scott, secretary-treasurer, together
with the six-shop crafts brother
hoods; the 120 system federations and
their president and secretaries, were
made defendants in the, attorney gen.
erals petition.
Officials Of the shop crafts asserted
the order would have no effect on the
strike.
"The strike will continue until our
am has been reached" said Secretary
Johnson.
B. M. Jewell, head of the shop
crafts issued no statement and at his
headquarters early tonight it was
learned he was out of the city.
Hold Government in Contempt.
In his petition before the court, Mr..
Daugherty reviewed the efforts at me-
diation, particularly President Hard
ing's attempt to end the strike. He
called attention to the fact that the
Labor board is an agency of the gov
ernment and the president issued a
proclamation calling upon the strik-
ers to return to work in accordance
with the decisions of the board.
The defendants, in refusing to ac-
cept the Labor Boards decision cut
ting wages, he said, have repudiated
the Labor Board and its authority
and holds the Labor B ard and the
government of the United States in
contempt.
Will Invoke Law Impartialiy
Calling attention to the declara-
ton of the president before Con-
gress that the government can have
no chart for it's course except the
law" the attorney general contin-
ued:
"There are statutes forbidding him
dering or interference with inter-
state commerce. There are laws to
insure the highest possible safety to
railroads. 1t is my purpose to in
woke laws civil and criminal against
all persons alike"
Government BY Law Must Prevail.
1--WE must re-assert the doctrine
that in this republic the first obl-
CATION and the first allegiance Of
every citizen, high or low, is to his
government" Mr.. Daugherty said,
''and to hold that government to be
the just and unchallenged sponsor
for public welfare and liberty, Sc
curity and right for all its citizens.
No matter what the sacrifice must
be, government by law must and viii
be sustained"
