PAY CHECK ROW
RESULTS IN
) DEATHS
Miner Runs Amuck and Is Kill
ed After Staying Two
Others.

HELENA. Ala, May 1.-Allen
Abernathy and Charlie Phillips are
dead today and j. w. Roy and G..
S. Roy are wounded ais the result
of rioting here last night following
the running amuck of John Morgan
King, sixty, negro miner. He
became enrag ed because he did not
receive his pay check.
After an eight-hour battle, in
which approximately 10000 shots
were fired, King, who had bar
ricaded himself in his cabin after
driving his family out, was driven
out by flames and killed.
A posse Of nearly a hundred
citizens attempted for several hours
to dislodge King, but their efforts
were unsuccessful Officers from
Birmingham and Colun1biana were
called into assist the local officers.
Refused Pay Check.
The trouble started when. King
went to the office of the Paramount
Coal Company and demanded his
time check, according to officers.
Alternately told the negro he would
have to wait for his check, where.
upon King went to his cabin about
$50 yords, from the office. He re-
turned in a few minutes with a
pistol and shot Alternately three
times.
King then ran into his hor1c.
drove his wife and daughter out
and barricaded himself
The chief of police and several
deputies went to Kings cabin anG
told him to surrender He opened
fire with a shot gun, wounding
C. s. Roy in the face. He kept UP
the fire also wounding j. w. Roy
in the side. The officers then re.
tired and sent out a riot call.
When the officers from Column
biana and Birmingham arrived it
was decided to fire the house in
an effort to disiodge him, He was
keeping up an almost steady fire
! with a pistol.
The officers succeeded In firing
the house and the heat drove King
out. Almost the last shot King
fired struck Charlie Phillips, a
miner, killing him instantly.
Shortly after killing Phillips, the
negro crawled to the gate of his
front yard, where he was struck
just over the eye by a rifle bullet
and killed.
Dies In Ambulance.
Alternately died on the way to a
Birmingham Hospital, where he and
Roy were rushed following the
shooting.
The other wounded men were re-
ported well on the road to recovery
and officers report there is no
chance Of further outbreak Of the
rioting.
The negro residents of Helena
went to their homes and remained
there during the trouble.
Alternately and Phillips were en-
ployes of the Paramount Coal Com
pany, where King was also EN-.
ployed. Alternately was check clerk
and Phillips was a miner.

TWO DEMONSTRATION
CLASSES TO BE HELD
HERE DURING YEAR
Elementary Teachers Will
Be Shown Proper Meth
cd of Instruction.

Two demonstration schools for ele-
mentary teachers will be conducted
throughout the year instead of one as
heretofore, according 10 an announce
ment by Miss Elma A. Neal, director
Of the elementary division. These
demonstration classes will be held
after school hours at School No. 1,
West Travis and CamarOn streets anu.
at the Eleanor Breckenridge School,
Brooklyn avenue.
Teachers demonstration classes
were introduced into the San Antonio
public schools three years ago by Miss
Neal who was then supervisor IN
the elementary department. Last year
the classes were held at the George
W. Breckenridge elementary school on
South Alamo street.
When a teacher proves herself to
be unusually competent in teaching
certain subjects, that teacher, to-
gcther with her class, gives demon
stration to the other teachers, Miss
Neal explained. No difficulty has
been experienced in getting classes to
volunteer for this after-hour work,
Miss Neal said, since the pupils and
patrons consider their selection an
honor. The purpose of the demon
stratiOn classes are to give practical
training to teachers.
Enrolment in white elementary
schools now totals II, Dol pupils. The
elementary division, now, of course,
consists of but the first five grades
and hence the elementary enrolment
total for this year cannot be fairly
compared with the elementary enroll
ment Of last year, except by grades,
since by the Introduction Of the junior
high school plan, the elementary d.
vision has lost two grades, the sixth
and seventh.
Enrolment figures for the three
high schools have not yet been tabu'
