Much Interest
In Charity Ball

That there is sure to be a big
attendance at the annual Charity
ball in aid of the Augusta General
hospital is evidenced by the ready
response with which the sale of
tickets is already being greeted. The
Charity ball is always the big social
event of the season and even those

look on. This will be the case more
than ever this year for there will be

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. Decem-
Der 16.--Reporters here today were
hoping that Countess Saln Won Hoog-
straeten would tire OF playing tag
with them and break her silence.
which she has threatened to do on
several occa SionS.
In each instance, however, the for
mer MiIlicent Rogers. heiress to a
$40 100000 fortune. changed her mind
at the last minute. and sent word
that "she had nothing to say"
The countess was living quietly at
Waikiki cottage, at Palm Beach, until
the arrival of the count, her husband.
and his mother from Europe. The
count began his New York-Palrn
Beach warfare TO gain control OF their
ments and then started legal proceed
ings.
The climax arrived Monday morn
ing when private detectives employed
by her to prevent the kidnapping Of
her baby used pistols to repel in
truders on her property. The intruderS
turned out to be other private detec-
tives who claimed they were in the
employ of the count to watch the
countess home. A similar episode al
most occurred Monday night. when
counts men in some bushes across
the street. The two sets of sleuths
then agreed TO recognize one another
to the extent OF not shooting on sus-
picion.
The shooting Monday morning for a
time was considered an attempt to
kidnap the baby, and caused consider
able perturbation to both the count
and the countess. The count and his
LAWYER. Herman B. Goodstein, both
in New York. issued positive state
ments that they were in no way con-
nected with the reported kidnapping
attempt. Last night Mr.. Goodstein
disclaimed for the count any connec-
ton with the private detectives who
said they were in his employ.
Reports yesterday that II. H.
Rogers, father OF the countess, and
the count both had arrived here were
denied.

This Afternoon.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Pa. December 10
Efforts to terminate the anthracite
mining suspension, now in its six
teenth week, shifted to Harrisburg
yesterday for the third time. when
mayors and burgesses of communities
in the hard coal region gathered here
at the request of Gov. Pinchot to dis
cuss the situation with him.
Little in the way Of a formal pro
gram other than an opening address
by the governor was arranged for
the meeting, scheduled at the eXecu-
tive offices in the Capitol at pm.
Before it opened Mr.. Pinchot did not
disclose what further plans he might
have in mind to further his efforts to
end the controversy.
More than 70 executives of all the
principal communities in the coal
region were invited "as the official
representatives Of the people" The
principal purpose of Mr.. Ptnchot in
asking them to come here, it was indi-
Gated, was to obtain an expression
from them as to the sentiment in the
coal region, particularly toward peace
proposals put forth by the governor
and on the subject of legislation which
may be submitted at the extra session
of the General Assembly next month.
