Detective J. T. Moser was shot
through the hand in gun battle be-
tween a score of police and Rose here
last night.
Rose, who had registered at a local
hotel Thursday. retired to his room
and was not seen again until last
night. The clerk. fearing he was Ill,
went to Roses room and attempted
to awaken him by rapping upon the
door. Rose answered the knocks with
a shot, the clerk said.
Shouts to the man within the room
were answered by more shots and
riot call brought a score of officers to
the scene.
Hoping to reach the man, whom
they believed insane, without killing
him, ammonia bombs were thrown
into the room. These forced Rose to
the windows, where he began firing
into the crowd in the street. Firemen
were then called, and streams of
water were turned into the room.
This proved of no avail, and police
began using their pistols. After shoot
ing through the door several times 1t
was later forced open. The bullet rid
died body of Rose was found lying on
a mattress on the floor.
The gunplay, which lasted more
than two hours, attracted more than
1000 people and blocked traffic about

 The officers of the law had their hands full. Of course any one of them could have knocked her out. But it was evidently not their pol icy to hurt the prisoners.

 She had my sympathy at the time, but then I did not know the facts of her case.

 It was the matron. She was bringing in an Italian woman and her little son, who were entitled to the bed. A man had just been mur- dercd in the Italians house, and she was to stay in prison until the mys- tery was cleared up.
 And I did not have 10 get up. l could just move over.
 In the goodness of my heart, or possibly from some other cause, l rose, made up the bed, fluffed the pillows, turned down the covers and assured the matron that l no long CT was one bit sleepy.
 I hope the recording angel made note that 1 was telling the exact truth.
 It was ready to go back to the other cell. There I found a new guest, child of Is with rather sweet and smiling face. I sat down beside her.
 She had just confessed to the murder of a young man whose body even then was not yet cold.

LEWIS ONCE MORE
 SOUNDS WARNINGS
Tells Of Impending Crisis in An-
 thraCite Fields

New York, July l Pl--Serous la bor crises threaten the coal mining industries Of both the United States and Great Britain.
 John l.. Lewis, president Of the United Mine Workers Of America, mas publicly denounced the in famous conspiracy" in the bitumn- ous fields 10 break the miners union, declaring that, unless the existing Jacksonville agreement Is carried out a national shutdown Of soft coal mines may be ordered.
 In England a big strike threat ems following formal notification by the mine owners ot their intention to terminate the present agreement--a move which Secretary Cook of the miners federation characterizes as declaration of war"
 MT. Lewis statement, made in an address yesterday before the anthra- cite tri-district scale convention at Philadelphia, was featured by an at tack on John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Charles M. Schwab and Secretary of the Treasury Andrew ". Mellon.
 Purporting to draw a contrast be- tween the "private and business mor- als" Of these men, the miners chief alleged they had failed ti use their influence as stockholders in large soft coal companies 10 previous re- rtfdiatinn nf tho Iap1ySa,,.iI1a ment.
 T am calling the attention of the government of the United States. and of the American people today to this fact" he added. T have cited the instances and l have named the names of the men respon- sible for this action.
 If this situation continues 1t may be necessary, later on, to authorize national shutdown of the mines of this country while the government and the coal operators and the rep reeentatives of the mine workers dis cuss whether the Jacksonville agree lnent is going to be carried out"
 He later explained that by a ma tional shutdown" he meant only the bituminous mines.
 The British mining association, ir serving notice last night of its inten. lion to terminate the present agree lnent on July 31, intimated that pro. posals for a new pact would be forthcoming.
 These proposals will undoubtedly provide for longer working hour. and less pay. The miners are sure tc reject them, and unless a compro. mise is reached in the meanwhile a big British strike Is foreseen fol the end of July.
