MARION. ILL.,, March (By The
Associated Press)-Sweeping aside
all the legal skihmishing that mark
ed the opening of the first Herrin
riots trial, the prosecution today
continued the introduction OF evil
dence against Hugh Willis, state
board member of the Illinois Mine
Workers, and five other defendants
charged with murder in connection
with the outbreak.
The prosecution was prepared to
lay special emphasis on its conten-
tion that the killing of the twenty
two non-uuion miners resulted from
a conspiracy.
The case OF the Haymarket riots
in Chicago where an editor and q
speaker who took no actual part in
the killings were hanged because
they advocated violence was cited
by c. w. Middlekauf. special prose
cutor in his statement to the jury
as applying to the present case. Tho
opening for the introduction OF tes-
timony along this line was made bS
Judge ]. T. Hartwell during the first
trial, which resulted in a verdict ol
acquittal.
Judge Hartwell instructed the
first jury that IL one of the defend
ants had helped to take the non
union men from the mine and ther
had publicly announced that he
would take no part in any acts oi
| violence, he still would be guilty 81
| murder if the jury found that his
previous acts resulted in murder
even though he had not actually
been present at the time of the kill

HEAVY SNOW
FALL LIKELY
Unexpected Storm Soon Gov.
ers Section With Heavy
Blanket of Snow

Snow which promises at this time
to be several inches deep, began fall
ing shortly after 8 o'clock this morn
ing, in keeping with the predictions
of the weather man yesterday. AL
residents awoke this morning the
sky was overcast and the feeling of
snow was in the air.
Accompa by a northeast wind
the snow began to pile UP and even
in view of the heavy midday traf-
fic on the principal streets Of the
city, a white blanket was quickly
spread over all sections. Indications
at noon were that the storm would
probably continue for several hours,
growing fiercer as darkness came Oh.
Although the fall of snow has not
been enough to interfere with traffic
to any extent as yet, there is a pos
sibility that by the time workers In
the various stores, offices and fac
tories are ready to go home, they
will find traffic somewhat delayed.
Shortly before noon the wind
shifted from the northeast to the
southeast and 1t was generally be-
lieved that the change in the wind
would make the storm Of much
shorter duration, however, the wind
soon. shifted back into the north
east and observers along the water
front declared we were in for bliz-
zard. Unless the wind again shifts,
it is likely that the prediction of the
followers of the water will come
true.

Complaints by America
WASHINGTON, Mar. 6:-French
occupation Of the Ruhr is giving rise
to an increasing number of COM
plants from American business con-
Germs who are finding their normal
trade more or less seriously blocked.
The many protests received at the
Commerce Department are being i'm
mediately turned over to the State
Department, and Secretary Hoover
was said today to be hopeful that the
French and Belgian authorities might
be able in time to regularize the ad-
ministrative routine of the region
sufficiently to reduce present diff
culties.
In all their dealings with the mat
ter, it was said, American officials
will seek to avoid to raising serious
differences between France and the
United States. At the same time the
French government will be given op-
portunity to judge just how much
damage is being done to American
trade. If in the course of time more
difficulties are encountered, 1t is pos
slble that representations of a more
formal character may be made.
