F01 Fire" Seen in
Strand Theatre AHey

! Fox Fire that mysterious light
of phosphorent nature. emanatine
from decaying wood, which often
mystified our grandfathers when
they were children, and created leg
ends of the will o wisp," was seen
in the alley on the west side of the
Strand Theatre on Saturday evening
in all its glory.
Excavations had been made for a
sewer pipe line alongside the con-
crete walk, and parts of an old tree
stump were unearthed in the pro-
cess. The wood was dull yellow,
and appeared in no way unusual un-
til darkness set in, when it glowed
with a silver grey light. The stump
had been broken in many pieces,
and hundreds of glowing GOALS" ap-
peared scattered along the dirt EN-
bankment.
Older persons who had seen Fox
Fire" in swampy places in their ear

at once, and many secured souvenir
pieces. One good sized stick illu-
minated dark cellar way suffic-
iently bright to distinguish nearby
objects.
AS the wood has dried out it is
less brilliant each night. and even
tually loses all its glow, 1t was a
weird and unusual sight, and well
worth seeing. One man who has
been in scores of woodlands and
swamps, had not seen any before in
more than thirty years-and ex-
pressed the opinion that he might
never see the phenomenon again un-
less especially searching for it.
In the South the negroes regarded
"Fox Fire" with suspicion and dread
believing it to be supernatural.

York Road Residents
Seek Electric Lights
File Petition With New Hope EIec-
trio Company.

Aquetong-Leading residents of
this section have filed a petition
with the New Hope Electric Com
pany, subsidiary of the Philadel-
phia & Suburban Gas & Electric
Company, asking that electric lights
be supplied along the York Road.
The lines supplying New Hope and
vicinity from the Jenkintown station
pass across country thru the Sole
bury Valley north of the York Road.
1t would seem to be good business
for the company to erect lines along
the York Road, for there are already
enough homes there to justify the
investment. And the new homes
being built insure future business
for the company.
Those whose signatures appear on
the petition are Ira A. Keller, Jesse
N. Naylor, Joseph Yeske, Amy B.
Knight, Walter T. Heaton, Mrs. VIM.
G. PARCEL, Henry F. Plate, Oscar J.
Thompson and George B. Naylor.

Negroes Returning to
South, Says Church

NEW ORLEANS, March 3-Ten
thousand Negroes who left the south
during the past few years have re-
turned to their homes since Nov. Is,
and many more are expected to return
in the next three months is the sur
vey made by the house of bishops of
the African Methodist church which
held it's sessions here. Walter L..
Cohen, Negro comptroller of the GUS
tom house in an address before that
body stated that the south is the home
of the Negro and that it is here he
should remain.
Statistics however show that more
Negroes are lynched in the south and
wages are so per cent lower than in
the north.
Newspaper propaganda supposed to
be fathered by the open shoppers is in
the main responsible for the return of
the Negro to be further exploited by
the southern bosses.

ing to the most ferocious forms
of violence.
Yesterday dozen mounted patrol
men and some rs other policemen and
detectives hurled tear bombs into the
crowd picketing the Botany Worsted
Mills, but failed to dispense the strik-
ers. Finally the fire companies Of the
city were summoned and streams Of
water from high-pressure lines were
hurled against the strikers, drenching
them so that they endured intense suf-
fering in the winters cold blasts.
Some of the strikers had to scatter
to avoid the drenching from the fire
mems hose, and when they reformed
in small groups the valiant policemen
assaulted them with their clubs, most
brutally beating men, women and chill
dren to the ground.
] Only one arrest was made, as the
policemen quite plainly we're instruct
ed to beat and cripple those unable to
defend themselves and send the strik-
ers to the hospitals instead of Jail.
Protest cossack outraues.
The political character of the strike
is now quite plain to all and the whole
town is becoming aroused and de-
manding the impeachment of the city
officials who are responsible for the
cossack outragez. and the clubbing and
trampling under foot Of women and
children.
These police assaults, calculated to
crush by force and terror the strike
in the wooden mills, have had the op-
posite effect, as the strikers are more
determined than ever and declare they
will continue the struggle in spite Of
all police assaults. The mass picket
ing will continue and whole families
will be urged into the streets in order
to discredit the city administration
and prepare for the workers building
up party OF their own and taking
control of the city government in the
next election.

ducts an unceasing campaign
of propaganda trying to belittle
every forward step accomplished by
the Soviet power. This is easily UNI
derstood when it is remembered that
Hoover, as the agent of Urqu-
hart's British mine owners, sunk many
millions of dollars in the Yenezi gold
fields in Siberia in the days before the
war. A 800 mile railroad was put
down as part of the development. All
this work came to an end with the
beginning OF the war in 1914, and with
the bolshevik revolution I'm 1917, was
lost forever to Mr.. Hoover and his
friends. Hoover has ever since dream
ed of the overthrow of the Soviet gov
eminent and the return of his min
ing properties by some restored mon
archist regime. But 1t is admitted
here that Hoover Is not the ruling
power in the Coolidge cabinet. This
place is filed by Andy Mellon Of Pitts

has just strengthened his position by
putting thru tax legislation favoring
