BRITISH RETALIATION

British circles here are disposed to
be pessimistic over news of the ap-
pointment of Sir Thomas Beauchamp
Hohler to be British Minister to,
Chile. In some quarters 1t is accept
ed as a retaliation for the withdraw
al OF the Mexican consuls from Great
Britain.
Sir Thomas had once been chosen
for special mission to Mexico to
study and report to the British gov
ernment about the general Mexican
situation with a view to the reshmp-
tion of diplomatic relations, which
were severed when Cunard Cummins.
the British representative in Mexico
City, was expelled for his actions in
the now famous Rosalie Evans as
sassination case.
The Obregon government then in
sisted that Cummins should leave
Immediately and refused to await the
arrival of Sir Thomas. In view of
that action by the Mexican govern
ment Ramsay Macdonald, then Brit
ish prime minister. declared that
probably the resumption of relations
with that country would be post
poned Indefinitely.

TROOPS
GUARD HERR|N
Scene of Mine Massacre Now
Armed Camp in Wet
and Dry Warfare

HERRIN, ILL.,, Feb. 8 (By The AS
sociated Press) ).-Herrin, scene of
the miners riot of 1922. was taken
over by state troops today as a re-
suit of a near riot last night between
'.wets" and "drys," in which a con-
stable was killed and deputy sheriff
wounded seriously.
The trouble is result of the
wholesale dry raids which have
been conducted in this tWilliamson)
county recently by reputed members
of the Ku Klux Klan, led by S.
Glen Young, paid employe of the
Klan. A meeting of the Knight of
the Flaming Circle, an Anti-Klan
organization. was in session when a
crowd stormed the hall. The shoot
ing followed.
Caesar eagle, a constable, who had
been issuing the warrants on which
the drys conducted the raids, was
shot dead. John Layman, deputy
sheriff, who with Sheriff George Gal
] ligan, went to the anti-Klan meet
| ing to demonstrate with the confer
ees to disperse and go to their homes
in the interest of peace, was shot. He
was taken to a local hospital by
Mayor G. Z. Anderson and Ora
Thomas, an anti-Klansman, and the
trio is being guarded at the hospital
by national guardsmen.
Immediately a crowd gathered
outside the hospital and began fir
ing into the institution persons in
side the hospital responded to the
fire and a miniature battle waged
for a short while.
The first guardsman arrived from
Carbindale at A. NJ, and the
'drys" then established headquar-
ters at the city hall, several blocks
from the hospital. The guardsmen
are patrolling the hospital to protect
the mayor, layman and Th(nas.
Five companies of troops had ar
rived this forenoon. The crowd
which visited the meeting hall of
the anti Klansmen were headed by
three of the four policemen of Her
rim and when shouts of lynch them,
"string 'em up" we're heard, Sheriff
Galligan commandeered an automo-
bile and rushed the trio to Murphys-
boro to protect them. The three are

Just as the trouble in Herrin was
at its height, Leonard Sterns, Deputy
Circuit Clerk and son of Cyclops
Sam Sterns, was fired on as he was
riding in an automobile in Marion,
the county seat.
A bullet grazed his back, but he
was not injured seriously. He is the
Klan candidate for Circuit Clerk.
An automobile owned by John
Whiteside, also an admitted member
of the Klan. was fired on at the
same time.
Before the arrival of the troops,
the raiders armed with revolvers and
shotguns, patrolled the streets OF

cred suspicious" to pass. All I'M
able to give the Klan password were
searched for weapons.
Before attacking the hospital, the
mob shot out the street lights 50

. CRACKED LOOSE
Robbers Get $3.50 in Cash
and Small Check in
Division Street
ICE COMPANY OFFICE
Police, Who Are Investigating,
Say that Work Was that
of Amateurs


By prying off the door of a safe
in the office of the Perth Amboy
Coal & Ice Company sol Division
street some time during the night
thieves managed to obtain $3.50 in
cash and a $l4 check from COM
partment therein.
When the robbery was first dis
covered this morning, it was thought
that the safe had been blown open
but an investigation by Captain of
Detectives Lawrence A. Long and
Lieutenant Detective Joseph Gutow-
ski, revealed that the receptacle had
been pried open in a peculiar man.
ner.
The safe has been kept in the
southwestern corner of the little
Division street office with it's front
facing east This morning the safe
was found moved out from the cor
ner and was left facing northeast. A
| hole in the door just above the COM
bination appears to be the result OF
two borings and as little progress
was made in this manner, the rob-
bersresorted to prying. 1t is believed
that a small bar. was first used to
gain slight opening, this one near
the top of the door and once this
Roadway was made, a larger instru-
nent was used just opposite the
handle to complete the opening.
Once the door was open the
thieves had only to touch the handle
of the compartment to place their
hands on the valuables. They did
not touch books on papers, or a $500
check, contenting themselves with
the $3.50 and the s14 check.
A piece of canvas. identified as
coming from an adjoining lumber
yard, and coal bags were placed
around the safe. the thieves having
evidently planned to blow open the
safe if they did not gain entrance in
another way. Captain Long points
out that the prying was done in a
peculiar manner and evidently is the
work of amateurs at this game. He
| Is confident that the safe was not
blown open as was the opinion gain
ed early this morning. The thieves
apparently had little difficulty in get
ting into the office and although the
| business room was somewhat upset
nothing but the safe was tampered
with.
The report of the robbery was first
made to Lieutenant Jensen who de-
tailed Sergeant Larson to the scene
and later the detectives visited the
place. 1t has been learned that the
safe is insured.
| Numerous small robberies com
mitted at this coal Office during the
past year or more were cleaned UP
by the authorities.

The police are also investigating
the theft of an oxygen tank stolen
from the Pennsylvania and Lehigh
