Henry left his car at the Three
Farmers on the With5tead road, and
proceeded with energy toward the
beach. He was glad enough to walk
after the long drive. :,
The day was chilly, the air full
of moisture, and a thin. cold mist
was rising off the marshes. what
breeze there was came from the lanu
and took the mist only few hundred
yards out to sea. The motor poa'
telephoned for by Mr.. Ember earlier
in the day ran into II as she came
into Withstead Cove to land pas

Belcovitch, was very glad indeed to
be landed. He had no nautical
tendencies, and would have preferred
danger on dry land to safety at sea
He made his way up the beach and

NOT CONTEST
PLEA OF PRISONERS
Application for Bail of Men Ac-
cused of Murder Virtually Ap-
proved by U. S. Attorney.

United States District Attorney Pey-
ton Gordon appeared before Justice A.
A. Hoehling in the District Supreme
Court today and formally notified the
court that he would not contest an
application for bail for Clifton Sample
and James Bostick. both colored, un-
der indictments for first-degree muir
der.
If the court decides later in the day
to grant the application for bail in
view of this attitude on the part Of the
District attorney. il will be one Of the
few times in Criminal Court history
here that a person indicted for first
degree murder has been released un-
der bond pending trial.
Sample and Bostick are charged
with having murdered James Robin
son. also colored, last July 10. Robin
son was shot during a quarrel and
just before he died identified Sample
as the man who shot him. Witnesses,
however. declared it was Bostick who
pulled the trigger, and Bostick him
self admitted the shooting. He
claimed self-defense. however. and in
this was supported by large number
Of witnesses.
In view of this fact, Maj. Gordon
virtually has admitted lack of testi-
mony TO warrant an indictment for
first-degree murder. AS the result, he
has withdrawn what is believed to be
the only obstacle in the way of hav-
ing the accused men released under
bond.

HARD COAL STRIKE
SHOWS NO CHANGE
Union President Reports to
Co-Workers on Interview
With Gov. Pinchot.
By the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, September 15.-
John l.. Lewis, international president
of the United Mine Workers, who
conferred yesterday with Gov. Pinchot
at the Governors upstate home in
Milford, is expected to return to his
headquarters in the Bellevue-Stratford
Hotel here today.
Mr.. Lewis. motoring from Milford,
stopped last night in Hazleton, where
he held q secret conference with union
officers OF the three anthracite dis
tricts and made a. formal report Of his
meeting with the governor.
No details were furnished as to the
nature or Mr.. Lewis report or of its
reception by the union chieftains. II
was learned, however, that the district
personnel seemed inclined to echo the
keynote Mr.. Lewis himself sounded
at Milford when he deemed the ex-
change Of Information with Gov.
Pinchot as likely to prove greatly
valuable IN any future settlement that
may take place
The meeting at Milford, II was added
on responsible authority, would work
no change in the plans under which
the tridistrict organization Is con
Quoting the suspension, which has
been in effect since September /.
A hiatus in anthracite developments
for the time being appears to be the
general expectation here. The earliest
date mentioned at which anything
might likely happen is September 26
the time of Gov. Pinchot's return
from his prospective trip of inspection
through the state.
