Gen. Pershing to
Enter Hospital for
Rest and Treatment

Key West. Fla, Feb 9.-(AP)-Gen-
eral John J. Pershing departed early
tonight for Washington where he will
enter the Walter Reed Hospital for
rest and treatment. While his condi-
ton is not alarming, an imminent
breakdown. due to his activities re-
Gently as neutral chairman of the
Tacna-Arica plebiscitary commission,
has necessitated this action.
General Pershing would neither con-
firm nor deny reports that his physical
condition prompted his sudden resig-
nation in that capacity. He said on
his arrival here today on the cruiser
Denver that he was in fair" health
and believed that the rest would do
him good. He was reported to have
been in virtual seclusion during his
journey from africa. Chile. whence he
sailed on January 81.
Military, naval and marine corps Of
ficials united in Greeting Pershing on
the ship after which he had received
19-gun salute. Standing beneath the
colors on the stern Flagstaff, he made
brief farewell talk to officers and
men of the ship, expressing apprecia-
ton for his treatment.
After pinning a victory medal with
destroyer clasp on the breast of Chief
Water Tender w. G. Orr of Athens,
Ga, a belated war decoration. General
Pershing and reception party walked
between rows OF sailors and marines
down the gangplank. A rousing cheer
went up from Captain II. L. Wyman.
commander Of the Denver. and his men,
as Pershing waved a last greeting.
General Pershing declined to answer
questions bearing on the South Ameri-
49,
that he would report his findings to his
superiors in Washington and did not
intend making any statement on this
subject at any time.
The veteran commander was accom-
panied to Washington by his physician,
Major Glenn I. Jones, U. S. A., Major
John G. Quekemeyer, his aide. and
Raymond D.. Cox. of the department of
state.

expected oratorical fireworks. violent

bate in the Riechstag today. were
disappointed, for Gustav Stressemann
the foreign minister. spoke mildly,

Nationalist and Communists. carried
themselves with reserve.
He stirred his audience effectively
only when he declared that the Ital-

Communists at this point broke into
disdainful and ironical hilarity. which
nettled the foreign minister.
While scouting Mussolini's threats

USE SHOT GUNS TO
DRIVE BACK GROUP
SCRANTON STRIKERS

Scranton, Pa, Feb 9.-(AP)-The
first mass demonstration Of the five
months-old coal strike occurred today
when 500 striking miners marched on
two washeries here in protest against
hydraulic production of coal which
their leader asserted was taking the
bread out OF their mouths" They were
dispersed by rs policemen armed with
sawed-off shotguns. None was in
jured.
The police detained three men who
identified themselves as leaders of the
demonstration but subsequently re-
leased them with warnings. At the
same time Chief of Police Rose an
nounced the establishment of riot
squad at police headquarters sufficient
to cope with any emergency that might
arise in the future. He also sent for
some tear gas.
Joe Santasario of Dunmore, who led
the march of the miners, said tonight
that the demonstration was not intend
ed to be anything but peaceful, and
that he would make full report on 1t
to his district union officials tomorrow.
The march was the climax to COM
plants by miners against the growing
coal production in this area which has
placed them in an ugly, mood. Oper-
ators tonight indicated the washer pro-
cess would continue.

Washington, Feb. 9-(AP)-Presi-

the senate to intercede in the anthra-

On behalf of Mr.. Coolidge it Yves

titled to and would receive considera-

Also it was stated that If the chief

would have acted long ago. He had
come to the conclusion, however, that
for the government to intercede in

Springfield, Ills, Feb. 9.-(AP)-
The Illinois supreme court for the
Second time today decided that Gov
ernor Len Small must render an
accounting for about $1.OO0,OOO in
terest money the state claims he COL
lected while state treasurer.
The state today denied rehear-
ing in the suit brought by the state
and which had been asked for by
the governor. AS a result of the
action today some authorities be-
lieved custer proceedings possible
ity for the future, although they
agreed that they were premature
now.
Governor Small's attorneys main
tanned there is no ground for i'm
parchment proceedings. Through
his lawyers the governor himself is
sued statement denying that he
had withheld any money from the
state while serving as state treasur-
err.
BY re-aff1rming its original opinion
the supreme court held Governor
Small accountable for interest on
$50. 100000 in loans withdrawn from
the state treasury while he was state
treasurer in 1918 and 1919. The
opinion held that he had accounted
for none of 1t.
At the Office Of the attorney gem
eral 1t was admitted that this might
be construed as a contravention of
section four of article four of the
state constitution, which provides
that any citizen owing money to the
state, is ineligible for state office.
Determination of the exact amount
due, said to approximate $1,250, 900.
Is the next step in legal proceedings.
The case automatically goes back to
the court of origin, the Sangamon
county circuit court, where the mas
ter in chancery will hold the neces-
sary hearings. In other like cases
heretofore 20 days has been the av-
erage time taken for such a hearing
and final decree.

neighbors of Davis toiled on snowshoes
through the woods, following a dim
trail by lanternlight, and at the end

riedly rounded up rescue party and
they set out on the back trail. Night
fell as the searchers toiled through
the drifts on snowshoes and in spite Of

spent on the Journey.
DR.. C. F. Larsen of Machias. eight
miles from the scene of the shooting,
left in an automobile when his serv-

an automobile constructed for travel
through snow, he struggled through
the drffted roads, often resorting to
