ing by union miners and their women

der the ban of a federal injunction.
District Judge R. L. Williams late

wives, Bibles and song books in hand,
and an American flag held aloft, have
gathered regularly at the mine en-
and prayer for the safety of the men

by coal OPERATORS to have been a veil
ed threat. Governor Trapp said they
constituted intimidation of working
miners. Non-union miners testifying
at the injunction hearing said "they
prayed for US at one end of the line
and cussed US at the other"
David Fowler, agent of International
union was represented as having in
structed pickets Ito cut the prayers
shorter and give them more hell"
Sheriff John Russell tried to stop
the meetings by issuing a proclamation
which the state criminal court of ap-
peals held unconstitutional.
State troops went into the area and
always attended the prayer services. F"
Union miners throughout protested
their peaceful intentions, and in the
hearing. started at Ardmore, continued
at McAlester and concluded here, they
maintained stoutly that there had been
no Intimidation or threats.
Judge Williams brought the hearing
yesterday to a sudden close. After tes-
timony was finished he asked the All
torneys how much time was desired for
argument, but before they had formu-
lated a reply, he told them shortly
that arguments here were of no use as
he had decided 10 issue the injunction.

CRECO-BULCAR
WAR CONTINUES
ON BIG FRONT
Invaded Country Send
ing Soldiers to Oppose
Continued Operations;
Natives Suffer
(By the Associated Press.) J


Bombardment and invasion of Bull
garian territory by the Greeks have
continued, notwithstanding s'.eps taken
by the league of nations toward peace.
Just as the world had begun to be-
lieve that hostilities along the Mace
donian border had ceased and the war
ring factions would remain quiescent
until the council Of the league settled
the controversy, the Greek artllerists
late Friday afternoon loosed rain of
shells against the already sorely strick-
en- town of Petrich and Greek troops
advanced farther into Macedonia.
The Athens government is Of the
opinion that the fresh maneuvers were
made before the Greek commander re-
ceived the orders to cease hOstilities
but to remain in the positions occu-
pied by the Greeks until Bulgaria had
acceptably replied to Greece's demand
for indemnity and an apology.
Just how far the Greeks have invad-
ed Bulgarian terrain has not been
definitely established but Bulgarian
advices assert that they have occupied
240 square miles of territory, and that
in addition they are resorting to veri-
table pillage, requisitioning wheat and
foodstuffs of all kinds from the panic
stricken inhabitants.
From Sofia comes a tale of terror
and suffering in the war-ridden terri
tory. Fifteen thousand persons are
homeless and other thousands, men,
women and children, suffering from
cold and hunger, are choking the roads
in hasty flight to get out of the danger
zone
majority Of the fleeing refugees
are without food, and without hope of
securing any, and fear is expressed
that disease shortly will manifest it
self among them.
In the shelling of Petrich the Greeks
are declared to have used long range
guns. Three children and four women
are said to have been killed by a she'll
which exploded at the railway station.
The town is a mass of ruins Fre-
quently during the bombardment ter
ror-stricken peasants along the road
ways were heard to ask has it come
again, the war;"
The council of the league of nations
has taken a hand in the affair. 1t
has been summoned to meet mex. Mon
day in Paris to endeavor to settle the
strife. In the notification to both
Greece and Bulgaria to send represent
atives to the council it was pointed by
Aristide BRAND, president of the coun-
Gil of the league that under Article
XII of the covenant of the league both
sides to the controversy must submit
their dispute either to arbitration or to
inquiry by he council and agree not to
resort 10 war until three months after
he award of the arbitrators or the re-
port Of the council.

Athens Says Advance
Is To Relieve Post

ATHENS, Oct 24.-The Athens Tefe-
graph agency maintains that the con-
t;nued advance of Greek troops on the
Bulgarian frontier is destined merely
to relieve a post at Demirkapn which
the Bulgarians are still attacking in
order to prevent the Greeks from re-
occupying it.
The agency insists that the COM
mander Of the third Greek corps has
been forbidden to billet troops on ci-
villains in Bulgaria, but that the Bulga-
rians ares continuing hostilities.
The agency also denies that the town
Of Petrich was deliberately bombarded
by the Greeks and maintains that
only few shells were fired, these be
ing directed against the railway sta
tion to prevent the debarkation of two
companies of Bulgarian reinforcements
from DutPirza.

VALUATIONS TO
SHOW INCREASE
Discrepancies Last Year
Reduced Total; To be
Over Eight Million

Valuations of the city of Brownsville
will probably show an increase of from
100000 to 100000 due to buildings
erected in the city last year, it was
estimated at the city auditors office
yesterday, the estimate being based on
the work of the city board of equaliza-
tion, which is practically complete.
The board consists Of H. M. SHELTON,
A. Bollack and Z. B. Camiade.
However, the tax roll of 1925 will
not show an increase of that amount
over the tax roll of 1924, due to the
fact that double renditions and other
discrepancies in the 1924 roll made it
necessary to cut the roll before the
year was over.
These discrepancies reduced the, tax
roll of 1924 from its first total, of
about $8,000,000 to approximately ST.
100000. Hence the actual increase in
the total of the 1925 roll over the total
of the 1924 roll will be only matter
of some 100000.
However. the tax roll total this year
will remain throughout the year, as
the board of equalization is making no
changes in the valuations, confining
its work to making renditions of the
new buildings in the city.
The new building includes a large
number of residences about half of the
State National Bank buildin, as only
that part of it was completed on Jan
uary 1. of this year, the Travellers ho-
tel addition, and other large buildings.
Work on the rolls will be started as
soon as the board has finished its
work, some time this week, it is be-
lieved.
