MIR. WATSON AIDS
A LADY in
DISTRESS
BY HAROLD PHILLIPS


An informative and mildly
diverting treatise on the peril
dies and penuries of the Penn
sylvania Dutch, is "The Medi-
cine Man." current now at the
Belasco. Elliott Lester, master
of the birch rod in a Philadel-
phia high school wrote it from
intimate knowledge and contact
with the Menonnites and since
all of us have been taught to
repose faith in the veracities
of school'teachers, we can be-
lieve that his characters are not
overdrawn. Fearful characters,
they are, too, thanks to in
telligent studies by Howard
Lang and Moffat Johnston.
What Desire Under the
Elms" taught us of the hard
New England Coast, what Lulu
Volmer's "Sun-Up" portrayed
of the Carolina mountain re-
gion, "The Medicine Man" aims
to photograph of the drab,
granite-like regions of the
Pennsylvania Dutch. To a de-
gree, the picture is discernible
but Mr.. Lester, it seems to me,
under-developed his negative.
The piece, rather than thematic,
parades a group of character
studies-an unfeeling, unyield-
ing father; bleak and misery
sutton and his IDIOT son begot
of intermarriage and the flam-
bouyant, medicine Nomad whose
nostrums have the chameleon
facility of adapting themselves
to whatever stray labels hap
pen to be on hand.
The only wholesome unit in
these forbidden precincts is
the girl, nicely portrayed by
Mayo Methot ,ept for a To-
cution, "Are you going to leave
me here alone with my baby"
which brings down the second
act curtain with rather dismal
plop.
This lovely creature is to be
another sacrifice to the Gus
toms of intermarrying. The
widower of her own sister Ia

Minnie's ears. She learns that
the human fright called Otto
didn't get that way from sleep
ing under thn moon. as she had
been told. She learns of the
horrible results of intermarriage
and she compromises on sin
with a wholesome man wat
SOM to insure her first-born
the chance it deserves.
Peter, the groom-to-be, is
murdered in the last act by an
aggrieved customer but there
are other sinister candidates
for Minnie's hand. To save
her from physical brutality at
the hands of her father and
worse prospects in the marital
line, Doc Harvey, Gods
greatest gift to mankind
scoops her up and the pair de-
part for other and brighter
acreages.
s The play has reminiscent
touches of other opuses with
out, however, the stamina of,
say, "The Wild Man of Bor-
neo"; "Alias, the Deacon" or
Desire Under the Elms." It's
main characters defeat it;
they are not good to look at.
1t is a mild curiosity but not
a good play.
Minor Watson fairly wallows
in a nice, fat part and his

Labor will appeal to President Coo
lidge and Governor John S. Fisher
of Pennsylvania to prevent alleged
invasions of the rights of miners in
the bituminous coal fields of Penn
sylvania and Ohio by injunctions
from State courts.
This plan of procedure has been
sanctioned by a meeting Of ESQ OFF,
GERS of national and international

The injunction process, as directed
against union miners, was con-
demned strongly in the report OF a
committee on program and action.
An example of the process COM
planned of by the miners was the
recent injunction decree handed
down in the case Of the Pittsburgh
Terminal Coal Corporation against
the United Mine Workers. in which
the latter we're enjoined from pic
keting while on strike.
President William Green, OF the

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 16-Na-
tional Guard airplanes joined with
police and mine guards today in an
attempt to keep striking miners
from closing the Columbine coal
mine in the northern strike field.
The planes were transferred from
the southern field to the Columbine
mine when it became apparent that
I. w. w. strikers had transferred
operations to the northern field.
The strike, which had been
thought to be near an end, was
given new impetus when two-thirds
of the miners in GunniSon County
joined the walkout.

Billy Campbell, 13, to Go to
Aunt When He Receivers
From Operation.

Billy Campbell, 10, today faced
the world with supreme grief-the
death of his embarrassing on his
tiny shoulders.
In bed at the ST. Vincent's Hospi-
tai recovering from an appendicitis
operation, Billy was told Tuesday
Of the tragic death of his mother,
Mrs. Jessie Campbell, in the Gray
stone apartment hotel fire Sunday
morning. DR.. Fred w. Mayer told
Billy while Catholic sister held his
small hand.
The lads father died a month
ago, and few weeks later Billy was
taken to the hospital to under go
an operation. He took the turn of
events as calmly as a 13-year-old
could. 1t didn't seem quite real
when the physician told of the
tragedy. 1t was not until Billy
gazed at his mother at the Flanner
& Buchanan mortuary that the cold
reality penetrated. He did not at
tend the funeral services a 2 p. m,
nor the burial at Crown Hill
cemetery. He returned to the hos
pital, where he received visitors.
The last visitor today was John
H. Berling, 5122 Maple Lane Rd.,
who took the boy to his home to
complete his recovery. Mrs. Berling
was the best friend of Billy's
mother. She was killed Oct. IA
when an interurban struck the
truck trailer carrying the Sahara
Grotto drill team.
Mrs. Virgil Branegan, Cleveland,
Billy's aunt, will take the boy into
her home as soon as he has re-
covered.

east of here. Since coming to Lib
erty more than a year ago she has
been model of propriety with
dresses not too short and with hair

declare.
Mrs. Smith, too, will take the wit
ness stand. No two persons could
be so different in appearance, but
still resemble. The mothers dark
hair, marble white skin and sombre
black clothing are in distinct con-
trast to the gay blue and red dress
of Ilene and her flushed cheeks.
What would have been story of
Mrs. Smiths life was hushed by
State objection, Tuesday, when Mrs.
Belle Brate, at one time a prac-
ticing physician, Mrs. Smiths foster
mother, took the stand. Mrs. Pirate
said, IT always felt sorry for Marga-
ret" when she was stopped by the
State. She never got to tell what it
was in the life of this little, dark
haired widows life that made her
feel sorry for her.
If necessary, court will be held to-
night in order to complete the case.

TO DROP
HEARING MADE
BY SHUMAKER
Dry Chief Says Charges for
Reopening Case Are
Indefinite.

Motion asking the Supreme Court
to set aside an order reopening his
contempt case in which he was given
a sixty-day sentence to the Indiana
State farm and $3.50 fine, was filed
with Supreme Court today by E. S.
Shumaker, Indiana Anti-Saloon
League superintendent.
The Supreme Court, on motion of
Attorney General Arthur L. Gil
liom, has set Monday for hearing
on Gilliom's request that Shu-
makers sentence be increased be-
cause Shumaker attempted to in
fluence the original decision of the
court.
Says Charges Unsupported
The Shumaker motion today
charges that all the charges against
him have been indefinite and I'M
supported by sworn statements and
that he was thus prevented from
knowing what the charges against
him were and preparing an adequate
defense. For this reason he asked
his original sentence be set aside.
Principal point in the objections
to reopening the case is the conten-
ton that reopening the case is in
effect granting the State new trial
and that the Indiana statutes do not
provide the State may ask new
trial in criminal cases.
GilliOm to Washington
The motion also declares that
Gilliom has made no showing under
oath that Shumaker was guilty of
influencing the court; that there is
no showing that new evidence
which, with reasonable diligence,
could not have been uncovered be-
fore has been disccoveredd; that
Gilliom'S motion wells with indef1-
niteness the specific things Shu-
maker is alleged to have done to
influence the court, and that there
has been no showing that the State
is using due diligence to get wit
nesSeS for the rehearing.
Gilliom left today for Washington
to obtain dispositions from Senator
James E. Watson and Henry Lane
Wilson, former ambassador to Mex
leo, on the Shumaker case.
He will take Watson's deposition
at t:30 Thursday. Watson was
drawn into the case on publication
of letter from Shumaker to Wat
son and Watsons reply indicating
that Watson and Senator Arthur r
Robinson had been working in Shu-
makers behalf

MORE THAN 80 MISSING
Rescue Squad Seeks Other
Victims in Deep Pool
Under Factory. III
BY ROSS DOWNING
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 16.-En-
couraged by the discovery Of two
bodies during the night, the army
Of reScuers pushed forward with
renewed vigor today to extract the
dead from the debris of Pittsburgh's
fatal gas explosion.
The bodies recovered stood at
twenty-six today. The missing num-
bered more than thirty, and ninety
five still were injured, detained in
hospitals.
Led by Charles A. Gray, res
cue squad which for two days has
concentrated its efforts on the ruins
of the Pittsburgh Clay Pot Com
pany, adjoining the exploded tanks
of the Equitable Gas Company, pen
etrated the lower levels of the
building, where the bodies of the
twenty-flfth and twenty-sixth men
were found.
Work Through Debris
For two days the basement cavi-
ties Of the great pot plant had re-
fused to yield to the rescuers. Hin
dered by an overhanging cap Of
twisted steel beams and broken
tlmberS, the workmen had been I'M
able to reach the basement level,
where it was known that some bod
les lay in the murky water.
More than 100 men had been en-
ployed there when the flood Of water
from the bursted tanks rushed in,
The water had been drained to-
day and workers gradually were
making their way through the sub
terranean chambers in search Of
victims.
Twelve men, according to Clyde
Fulton, foreman of one section of
the Inflated plant, were working near
him when the water rushed in upon
them.
Fulton told how he and three
companions fought their way up a
narrow stairway in the face Of
rushing water. The eight other
members of the group were drowned,
Fulton believes.
Seek Blast Cause
While rescuers searched for
bodies, city, county and State Of
ficialS were on the scene attempts
ing to ascertain the cause for the
disastrous explosion.
Governor John S. Fisher had IN
Structed State officials to deal quick
ly and efficiently with any phases Of
the explosion which may come be-
fore them.
The Governor wrote Charles A.
Waters, secretary Of labor and in
dustry, asking that inspectors of the
department now at the scene Of the
disaster investigate the explosion
causes thoroughly.
Paul w. Houck, chairman of the
workmen's compensation board, was
urged to deal quickly with all claims.
The State department. of health
offered its services to the city in
combating disease and suffering in
the devastated area.

SEASONABLE THIEVES
Ten Men Convicted of Stealing
Coal at Bloomington.

BIZ Times Special
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Nov. 10
A cold hearth not always is the in
centive in stealing coal, 1t was
proved in a local court when ten
men we're found guilty Of stealing
from coal trains.
Only one OF those accused was in
financial straits, according to teSti-
mony. The others held jobs.
The thieves are said to have
boarded trains slowing up for a
grading, just out of Bloomington,
and to have pitched the coal from
the cars, later collecting it.
All drew fines of 81 and costs,
and were required to pay from So
to 81 for coal stolen.
