ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., August
1O.-Suspension of work by 15S, 900

appeared more centain today fol-
lowing publication of a reply from
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America, to
the letter recently addressed him by
Samuel D. Warriner, chairman of the
anthracite operators conference.
Mr.. WARMERS Letter, made public
last Thursday, denied that the op-
orators committee was under in
to refuse concessions to the
miners regardless of the merit or
logic of their demands, and expressed
hope that means will be found to
compose the differences between us
and avoid a suspension of operations. "
Mr.. Lewis in his reply said the
Warriner letter merely confirmed the
previous position taken by the op-
orators scale committee in the con-
ferences here. He said both Mr..
Warriner and the negotiators were
committed against granting the min
ers wage increases and the check off

BE it So" Mr.. Lewis said. I'VE dc
not have any inclination to further

YOU abandon this position
Hope Of averting a hard coal tie-ur
apparently rests today almost wholly
upon two slim chances.
One. according to observers, would
be for the Government to intervene If
advance of September l, which Sec.
retary of Commerce Hoover anc
others have said officially the Gov

The other, it was said, would be
for the anthracite mine owners tc
abandon their position, as Mr.
Lewis suggested. Those who have
tested the temper of the operator:
the most deeply. pronounced this i'm
possible.
There has been no intimation o1
any peace overtures coming from the

CHEMIST, SLAYER,
TAKES OWN LIFE
Schwartz, Hunted in Death
Mystery, Kills Self on
Eve of Arrest.
By the Associated Press.

OAKLAND, Calf, August 1O.-All
means of escape cut off, Charles
Henry Schwartz shot himself to death
yesterday while police We're battering
in the door of his apartment to arrest
him for killing man whose charred
body was found in the plant of the
Pacific Cellulose Co., after an explo-
sion had wrecked the building.
The victim of the explosion, which
occurred at Martinez. near here, was
at first believed to be Schwartz, who
was manager of the chemical labora-
tory. Police, however, insisted on fur
ther investigation. prompted by the
fact that Schwartz carried more than
500, 900 insurance, some of the type
which pays double indemnity in case
of accidental or violent death.
Although Schwartz's wife and the
family physician and attorney were
positive the body was that of the
chemist, authorities became convinced
it was that of Warren Barbe. itinerant
evangelist and son of the Rev. John
Barbe of Jersey Shore, Pa. Schwartz's s
capture was brought about by iden-
tifcation of a newspaper photograph.
c. W. Hayward, proprietor Of the
Oakland Apartment Building, where
Schwartz took refuge, happened to
mention at a dinner party that one
of his dodgers was in hiding. The
lodger told him his automobile had
been wrecked and whisky found in it..
Police Surround House.
Conversation turned to the Schwartz
mystery and some one showed Hay
ward the photograph, which he recog-
niZed, although Schwartz had later
grown a mustache. Police were noti-
fed and soon surrounded the apart
ment house.
No answer was heard to demand
to open the door of the Schwartz
apartment, but as the police were bat
tering their way in, a shot rang out.
Schwartz was found with a pistol
wound in his forehead and he died on
the way to a hospital
In letter left to his wife, Schwartz
admitted he had slain man, but in
self-defense. He said the man had
entered the laboratory and demanded
work or money. Denied both,
Schwartz said the stranger attacked
him and Schwartz was forced to
strike out to protect himself.
Now, I wish to tell you, my dear
little girl, 1 do not know the man,
never looked how he was dressed,
never touched him after that. The
only thing 1 did was to try to burn
him up, to wipe him out and go-go,
I do not know where"
In Schwartz's pocket was ticket to
Barstow, in southern California, and
folded around the ticket was map
of Mexico. He had $572 in money.
Schwartz never left the apartment,
which he rented July 80, before the ex-
plosion.
On the night of July 80, Schwartz
telephoned his wife that he was
through work and would be home
soon. Twenty minutes later an explo-

LOCAL MOVIE PLEASES

The showing of the picture, "The
Dog with the Human Brain" at the
Caughren theatre Friday and Satur-
day drew fairly good audiences. In
this picture the work of the local
Boy Scouts was very good, and show
ed their method of first aid to very
good advantage. The rest of the pic
ture would have been much more in
teresting had it contained plot of
some sort.
The work of the dog, Nero, was
clever. His master, Ed Hoffman, of
Rice, Mimi, explained that Nero is
only four years old, but that he
would be strong dog at 20. He al
so stated that Nero's sire was bred
and trained at Coblenz, Ger, and that
he carried telephone messages at the
front during the World War.
Mr.. Hoffman is quite a student and
psychologist as we'll as a trainer of
dogs. For years prior to the war
he trained police dogs for use in the
German army. In 1912 he saw a
big future for him in his profession
in the United States, because of the
scarcity of trained dogs here and
because of his own position in Ger
many. There he was practically an
instrument of the government, while
here he could do as suited him best
with his dogs and his knowledge of
them. .D,,~.,.-
