Averted at Ohio Mine

st. Clairsville, O., March TO-
(AP)-Timely arrival Of Colonel
DON Caldwell and . contingent Of
deputy United States marshAls and
national guardsmen at the Florence
mine near Martins Ferry, early this
morning, probably averted serious
trouble between union miners and
sympathizers and nonunion employees
Of the mine. Advised by officials Of
the Y. and o. Coal company, which
operates the mine, that . "large
mob" was attacking the nonunion
workers - they came to the mine,
Col. Caldwell hastily assembled 81
guardsmen and deputy United States
marshals and hastened to the scene.
He found . crowd Of about $50
men attempting to keep the nonunion
workers from entering the mine. A
few stones had been thrown but no
pne injured.
Colonel Caldwell immediately took
charge Of the situation. He escorted
the nonunion workers into tho mine
and induced the crowd to disperse.

OWNERSHIP OF
RUSSIAN GOLD
AT ISSUE TODAY
Suit Filed in Federal Court BY
Bank of France to Rec0v.
er Precious Metal

New York, March 10.-(AP)-
Twenty crimson casks containing
$5,201 900 in Russian gold today
were involved in q complicated legal
mesh with their ownership at issue.
Suit was filed by the Bank Of
France in the federal court here to
recover the gold bars which are now
held by the Equitable Trust com.
pany and the Chase National bank,
The suit is based on the assertion
that the metal was stolen from the
vaults Of the State Bank of the Rus.
sian empire after the Bolshevist
revolution.
The legal aspect was complicated
by the fact that American courts
have ruled that the soviet can
neither sue nor be sued since it is not
recognized by the United States as
being legally an entity. Accordingly
it cannot become q party to any
legal action connected it the pres.
ent suit.
Thus trial of the suit is expected
to raise many intricate questions Of
international law, and involve the
attitude Of the American govern.
ment toward the soviet government.
The gold was sent here from Rus
sia last month to facilitate han6line
Of trading between Amelic.. and
Russia. When it was presented for
assay, the treasury department re-
fused to receive it unless the two
New York banks would guarantee
title to it.
Taking the position that they were
acting as agents only for Russia,
the banks refused to do this. The
refusal of assay was based on q
seven-year-old embargo en- Russian
gold established because it was held
that title to it was not clearly estab-
lished.
Legally the gold is not gold at Ill.
The legal action is like . move to
recover property alleged to have
been stolen.

SOME WIN, OTHERS LOSE

New York, March lO.-(H)-
There was much guessing today
about winners and losers in the
climb Of General Motors com.
mon, which in the last seven
days has gone up q 1-2 points,
an increase Of value Of $391,-
100000.
Among those mentioned %
winners were William C. Dur
ant, former head Of the COM
pany, who it is estimated has
cleaned up $10,000,000 in his
trading IN the stock during the
past two years: Arthur w. Gut
ten Of Chicago, the Fisher
Brothers Of Detroit, the Du
Points Of Wilmington, Del, the
Timkens Of roller bearing fame,
the Graham Brothers and Clar-
ence r. Biting Of Detroit. The
losers names are mentioned
only in whispers.
Some financial writer's say
that bears have taken probably
the worst whipping in motors
ever administered by an organ
lied clique. Many Of them sold
the stock at 130 and 1856, others
ct 1873 to 140.

REIGN OF TERROR HOLDS SWAY IN
KWANTUNC-PE0PLE ARE MURDERED
BY The WH0LESALE-TOWNS BURNED
More Than q Million Farmers,
Fishermen and Salt Makers
Go Red and Establish Com
munal Government - All
Property Is Confiscated

Canton, China, March 10.-(AP-
Reports reaching here say that more
than a million farmers, fishermen
and salt makers Of northeast Kwan-
tung have "gone red" established
q Communal government, and are
attempting to enlarge their sphere
of control. This has resulted in a
reign Of terror-wholesalc murders,
the burning Of villages and the dis
ruption of trade.
The area in which the so-called
Soviet has been set up is little more
than hundred miles north Of Hong
kong around Hongso and Hcichechin
bays, and the towns Of Haifung and
Lukfung are the Communist head
quarters.
Called by their critics and victims
"a gang of freeboooters, ne'er-do-
wells and coolies of fortune" and
cousins and brothers" of the pirates
Of Bias bay, not far away, the leaders
are said to have had an easy time
getting converts to Communism.
With the stoppagc Of the long estab-
lished trade Of fishing, farming and
salt drying in the turmoil which has
virtually paralyzed the economic
activities Of South China, Commun-
ism, the reports say, found a fertile
field. The peasants learned much
about it, too, from the fred" army
that was forced out Of Swatow, and
said to be backed up by group of
Russian advisers, who are reported
to be directing affairs in the district.
These newly made 'reds" have
sought to make all things common
property. There being no fences or
walls enclosing the farms, they
plowed up the paths separating the
fields. All title deeds were COM
mandeered and burned. Landlords
and merchants, supposed to be men
Of wealth: were held for ransom and
their property confiscated.
y Murder is Order Of Day
In numerous. villages murder has
become the order Of the day. Many
W1elthy families have been entirely
Wiped out. A few towns and villages
which attempted to resist the new
regime have heen sacked and razed.
In soma places the village elders
were .dacapitated, their heads placed
on poles and sent to the next settle
ment a. . warning.
Chinese. Christians have been per-
secuted and foreign mission property
has in some cases been destroyed.
The missionaries, mostly European
Catholics and English Presbyterians,
together with thousands of native
converts have evacuated the area. On
the coast q show of force by British
gunboats was necessary before the
riotous Chinese would release a
number Of Italian and Chinese
Christians.
Throughout the district, houses
have been painted red with the COM
mon Chinese pigment, pigs blood.
Women have been proclaimed COM
mon property. Every household is
compelled to furnish one "red"
soldier.
The numerous appeals for aid sent
by the harassed peasants to the
Chinese provincial authorities have
thus far fallen on deaf ears.
