Sea Murder Trial Reveals Weird
Story OF Love For Colored Girl

NEW YORK. lone colored girl,
the wife of a Mississippi youth, was
the unfortunate victim of as weird a
sea tragedy as ever was told, testi-
mony showed in the case of Earle
Federal Court of New York, this
week.
Two weeks ago the American
schooner Kingsway sailed into har-
Dor here with tale of fierce love,
tragedy and mutiny, the result of
which young Battice, charged with
slashing the throat of his young and
beautiful wife with razor when he
found her and the ships engineer
in the store-room, is facing Jury
which holds his life in the balance.
Raging Love
In the testimony is told how this
lone girl-wife, "a years of age was
the victim of the raging love of men
on the high seas where her beauty
brought to surface all the animal
instincts which wipe out color, race
or creed
The kingsway, on a cruise from
the Gold Coast, picked Young Bat
tice up in Porto Rico, where the vi
cissitudes of war had taken him
from his home in Mississippi and
where he had married and become
the father of three children.
His Own Story
Battice's own story told by his
lawyer, Carruters Ewing. white, one
of the South's ablest lawyers. does
not deny the killing. But said Ewing

wife and three children. They were

Jensen, superintendent, when he un-
dertook to inspect the dormitory

"There'll Be Hot Time in the Old
Town Tonight" and threw hair
brushes and chairs at Jensen, chas-
ing him from the room.

wounded, was staged here ThurSda,
The raid, the police department
declares, was ordered because the
u. N. |. A. was disseminating Red
literature and arming members to
resist the government. Local citi-
zens declare it was staged to halt
efforts of the organization to cause
laborers to leave the south.
Refused Permit
Four weeks ago the U. n. I. A.
was refused permit to hold a pub
lie meeting, whereupon they confin-
ed their meetings to their headquar-
tiers. Wild reports of "radicalism"
reached police headquarters and ef-
fort WI army uniforms, guam

Unuer the command of Captain
Hyatt squad of white police enter
cd the hall where they were met by
a sentinel, who commanded them to
halt. When they informed him that
they were officers he still refused to
allow their admittanee, whereupon
Captain Hyatt kicked out the lights
and shooting commenced.
When the riot was quelled, police
man Kline had a bullet in his leg
and James Jackson and Ira Johnson
members of the U. N. /. A., had re-
ceived gunshot wounds from which
they may die.
Use Machine Guns
Immediately the whole police de-
partment became active and police
with riot and machine guns patrol
led the streets and began a whole
sale search for firearms. This search
reached the residential section where
officers are said to have entered
private homes taking such. arms as
they found there...aa.(
Although Milton Mfnyafd. said to
head the U. N. l. Al and for whom
a city-wide search is being made, has
not been appreheuded. many arrests
have been made, and books and lit
erature of the organization have
been seized by the police.

more than 700 members well sup

disseminate "red" propaganda in
the south. A local dealer reported
that they had attempted to purchase
200 high powered repeating rifles
and that they had adopted a MILL
tary uniform similar to that worn
by U. S. soldiers.
That leaders of the organization
do not propose to relinquish their
hold on their members is borne out
by the fact that dozens of meetings
in defiance of the police have been
held.
General Dissatisfaction
An A. N. p staff representative
found that while leading group lead
ers in Chattanooga do not subscribe
to the Garvey movement nor some
of its methods of procedure, all
agree that there is widespread dis
satisfaction in that section.
No Red Propaganda
Most of them discount the "red"
propaganda stories. and say it is
subterfuge the police department is
using to break up an organization
which may drive labor from that
section by agitating injustices.
They say iim-crowism, disfran-
chisement and injustice are still RAM
pant and that such organizations as
the u. N. |. A. find rich soil for APP
pealing to a downtrodden group.

City workers, Trotsky points out are no better off
than the farmers Nominaly they are supposed to
work ten hours day, but in reality work much
longer, while their wages, in terms of purchasing
power, are lower today than under the czars. Fac
tories are badly mismanaged he charges resulting in
an appalling accident rate-n fact almost one total
disability out of every ten workmen every year.
Continuing in this strain, Trotsky complains that
unemployment abounds in Russia and those out Of
work receive less than IS cents week by way of
dole. Strikes he says, growing in frequency and
their settlement is compulsory rather than concia-
tory. And forth and so on in way not calculated
to make pleasant reading for those in power in
Moscow.
If the authenticity of the report is established,
Trotsky will likely bid long farewell to the world
Wartime spies were given short shrft by the con-
tending forces and Russia today would seem to be
dealing with economic spies" in much the same
fashion.
Covering up sores with silk does them any
good Russia is trying work out one of the greatest
experiments in human history, and concealment of
ugly facts not only from the world but from herself
hurts far more than it helps. In Russia as well as
elsewhere politicians who deliberately bunk the mass
OF the people are playing with fire.

"A Place. for Pardon

In these days. when clemency by pardonng
powers is not entirely unknown, it might be sug-
gested that President Coolidge could in good taste
free the two labor organizers sent to Jail by Judge
Robert G. Baltzell for contempt of his court
The conduct Of the street railway strike year ago
has aspects which were at least suspicious
The fact that the president of the union which was
organized in the pay of the Street Railway Com
pany at the same time he urging violence has
some significance, to say the least.
But more than that, the treatment of these two
men by the local police not such to encourage
any great faith in law and order
The records show repeated arrests on charges
Of suspicion and release bonds without trial. They
also achieved the unusual distinction Of being the
only guests of the largest hotel whose room
searched for liquor under the exceptional dry law
Of the State. Just why they, among the thousands
who register there each year. should have had their
suit cases searched for illicit booze of the
explained events.
Industrial peace is not benefited by such methods
and tactics Social justice does not likely to be
advanced by jail sentences
The President could act if he desired, and probably
assist greatly in creating atmosphere of better
feeling all the way round.

(Demccratic)

Will the Indiana political mess
ever be cleaned up? 1t will. The
people of the State may be proud
of the fact that no stone is being
left unturned to bring the good
name Of the State back to it's
proper place, and to wipe the slate
clean of the black marks on its
shield of honor Indiana is one
of the best States in the Union.
The recent years have witnessed
a display Of conduct which has
given a wrong impression among
the States Of the Union. The i'm
preston has gone out that Indi-
ana is wrong at heart, but this is
most untrue. There is no finer
people in the world that those
found right in Indiana. We have
made mistakes, it is true, and
some Of those whom we have
trusted have been unfaithful to
their trust. But the day is coming
when Indiana can once more hold
its head proudly, and look back
at these times as an unsavory and
undesirable chapter of its history.
One which is not to be be re-
peated.

AT the White House

Except as a gesture to invite national attention
to tragic industrial situation the White House coal
strike conference accomplished nothing.
Before the organized labor leaders called on the
President it reasonably certain chat he would not
be inclined to involve himself in the matter if there
were any possible way to avoid it.
This way was provided by those representing the
miners cause when they made requests which the
President could comfortably ignore.
They charged giant conspiracy of the railroads
to beat down the price of COAL and thus break the
miners union. They asked the President to urge
congressional investigation The President is reported
to have suggested and not unreasonably, that the
place to institute such charges the Interstate Com
merce Commission the Department of Justice
The labor leaders also asked the President to call
conference Of miners and operators for the purpose
OF putting an end to the prevailing chaos in the soft
coal fields. With the operators i'll disposed TO such
meeting, and with the public or less indiffer-
ent because there plentiful supply of COAL there
is no compelling reason why the President should
call such a conference and he knows it.
In the present coal strike, however there is one
issue which the President could not well ignore if
it were forciby called to his attention.
That is the issue of constitutional rights. The
miners charge, and have facts to support their
charges, that they are deprived of the rights of
free speech and assembly in the Pennsylvania coal
fields.
The President of the United States is the officer
specifically charged with the duty of enforcing the
provisions Of the Federal Constitution which glaran-
tees those rights.
In past industrial disputes Federal troops have
been sent into the strike to uphold the Consti
tuition.
They have almost invariably been sent at the re-
quest Of mine operators but there is no reason why
they shouldn't be SENT if necessary to protect rights
guaranteed by the Federal Constitution all citizens
including striking miners.
In appeal to the President the labor delegation
asked for favors, and favors easily denied.
They ought to call again and ask for their rights
