Miners Threatened.
Assistant Deputy Coffey warned

SEDITION CHARGE
AGAINST CRECHT
Communist Organizer
Is Held by Coal Police

BURGETTSTOWN, Pa, March 2.
The arrest here of Rebecca Grecht,
field organizer for the Workers
(Communist) Party, shows that the
attack of the coal operators and the
official End unofficial police on the
organized miners is growing steadily
sharper.
Her hearing on a charge of sedi-
ton and melting to riot was post
poned until tomorrow by Squire J.
A. Mcknight, of Houston. She was
arrested Monday afternoon at a mass
meeting in a crowded hall here. Hun
dreds Of miners were kept outside
the door by lack of seating capacity
and standing room. The original
charge was disorderly conduct but
the more serious charge was added
on the insistence of Corporal Pierce
and others of the state police.
Fifteen state police were scattered
strategically through the crowd in
the hall when the meeting began.
Mike Pushkar, who was to have pre-
sided at the meeting, was kept out
by constables.
Labor Party Urged.
"There are no laws against strik-
ing and picketing and the injunc-
tions are iudge-made laws designed
to enable the coal operators to kill
the Strike" Rebecca Grecht told the
assembled miners.
She stressed the need for a mass
labor party in the United States.
When placed under arrest in the
hall she declared the arrest was il
legal and told the miners she would
come back to speak TO them. A po-

2 CLOAK HEADS
FRAME-UP FAILS
Fake Testimony Breaks
Down, Case Dismissed

A two hour ross-eXamlnatlon OF
the leading witness in the criminal
assault case against the two cloak
strike leaders conducted by John
Mandelbaum, union attorney, yester-
day, led to so complete a break down
of the obviously framed evidence,
that the judge hearing the case was
compelled to stop the farcical pro-
ceedings and ask for a motion for
dismissal of the Indictment, which
was subsequently done. Frank P.
Walsh also appeared for the defense.
The defendants, who were sudden
ly called to trial on an indictment
more than year old, were openly
termed guilty" by the notorious
Judge Rosalsky last year when he
was called upon to set bail for their
release. Rosalsky at that time de-
manded bail of $4,000 each, which
remained in force till yesterday. The
trial yesterday took place in the
Court of General Sessions, Part 4, be-
fore Judge Mulqueen.
Shown to be Spy.
Joseph Goretsky, and Elias Marks,
left wing leaders who acted as chair
man and secretary respectively of the
picket committee in the bitterly
fought cloakmakers' general strike of
1926, were charged with, having as
saulted Hyman Goldman, who acted
as the district attorneys star wit
ness, and whom the evidence in the
trial yesterday proved to be a right
winger in the pay OF the employers
association. 1t was, shown quite
clearly by his own admissions that
his function was to actNas spy, and
also to help demoralize the ranks Of
the strikers.
The climax of the case came when
Goldman admitted that he had first
appeared before the grand jury and
caused the indictment of two entirely
different men for the so-called as
sault and, after being questioned by
the grand jury at that time as to who
specifically had assaulted him, had
denied that Marks and Goretsky were
involved. Yesterday on the witness
stand Goldman's testimony proved
that the indictment of the two left

Activities DepIored
(By scripps-Howard Alliancel

CLEVELAND, Sept. 27.-Maurice
Maschke, Republican national COM
mitteeman from Ohio, Wednesday
deplored the tactics Mrs. Mabel
Walker Willebrandt has used in at
lacking Governor Alfred E. Smith
in Ohio.
Mrs. Willebrandt, assistant United
States attorney general, in two
speeches before Methodist Church
bodies, has urged that the church
use its influence to defeat Smith
because of his prohibition stand, and
has urged active work against Smith
by ministers and laymen.
MaSchke was asked this question;
GAS Republican national committee
man from Ohio, what do you think
of the campaign tactics symbolized
by the speeches of Mrs. WILLIE
brandt?"
He answered: Mrs. Willebrandt's
efforts surely are well-intentioned
but misguided. Evidently she is en-
deavoring to persuade the Metho-
dist Church, the chief protagonist
for the prohibition amendment.
that it is its duty to fight to phe-
serve the amendment. I do not think
that this has been at all helpful.
Il believe the campaign should be
waged only along one line, the
super qualification of our candidate
to fill the office of President of the
United States.%

Millions of Americans in
Early Stages, Boston
Physician Says.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Sept 27.-Many thou
sands of persons die annually from
cancer and the disease is increas-
ing, at an alarming rate despite
present methods of treatment, DR..
Frederick Dugdale of Boston told
physicians, surgeons and research
workers here today at the seven
tenth annual convention of the
American Association for Medico-
Physical Research.
Millions in the United States are
in early or potential cancerouS
stages" DR.. Dugdale said, and
fully 100000 others have the dis
ease sufficiently advanced to be de-
tected easily"
Deaths from cancer in 1927 were
estimated at from 100000 to 100000,
the doctor said, and large per-
centage of deaths attributed to
other causes were in reality from
unrecognized cancer.
Surgery X-ray and radium
treatments have failed to check the
disease" said DR.. Dugdale. But
cancer is durable and preyentable,
according to the findings of DR..
William F. Koch, Psychologist and
bio-chemist of Detroit. DR.. Koch
has conducted an extensive re-
search, in the course of which he
has discovered cancer to be a con-
stitutional blood disease. Encour-
aging results have been obtained
through use of a synthetic anti
toxin"
From careful investigation, DR..
Dugdale said he had determined
certain pre-cancerous symptoms
which, if acted upon by potential
victims Of the disease, would save
thousands of lives.
Such symptoms, he said, include
sinking sensations, sudden tempo
rary loss of vision, binding flashes
Of light, sick headache, various
forms of rheumatism, and stomach
ulcers.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Arthur
Curtiss James, the twentieth CEN
tury's foremost railroad man, is an
easterner, but he believes in the
West.
1t was his belief in the West that
first prompted his interest in the
railway business. apparently. The
many, many millions of dollars he
has paid for securities all are in
vested in western lines.
1t is highly appropriate that this
be so, because the James millions

Despite his vast holdings, Arthur
Curtiss James is a shadowy sort Of
figure in the railway world of to-
day. He is an important factor in
the control of more railway mileage

light-never, in fact, when he can

Of his financial Importance.
Goes West mi-Annually
Twice a year James makes a trip
to the west and southwest, visiting
his railroads, and about once a year

interests in Arizona and New Mex

Though he travels IN his private
car and is accompanied by his sec
retaries there is little ceremony and
nothing to suggest the railroad

To his associates James is n
genial, energetic, approachable man
who likes people, likes a good joke,
enjoys good food. and works like a
tiger. His movements are quick and
rapid.
Quite Indifferent to his appearance,

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-Mrs. Mabel
Walker Willebrandt, assistant U. S.
attorney general, was on her way
back to Washington today with full
authority from the Republican cam
paign speakers bureau here to con-
tinue her campaign for Herbert
Hoover in any way that she pleases.
Although she denied she came
here because of the furore in both
parties over her attacks upon Gov
ernor Alfred E. Smith, Democratic
presidential candidate, Mrs. Willie
brandt appeared Unexpectedly in
Chicago yesterday. After spending
the morning lodging reporters. she
finally consented to be interviewed.
She said that Governor Smith. in
stead of herself, had injected both
the religious and prohibition issues
into the presidential campaign.
Asked Have you been making
your addresses as a free lance or
under auspices Of the speakers bu-
reau and do you intend to continue
making speeches throughout the
country?" Mrs. Willebrandt turned
to Congressman Walter H. Newton,
head of the speakers bureau, and
said:
Il think that I'll let Mr.. Newton
answer that for me-"
Mrs. Willebrandt certainly has
been speaking under the auspices of

have stopped to think how many
different types of blondes there are.
We have the blue-eyed blonde, the
brown-eyed blonde, the one whose
hair hints of hidden gold, the sill
yer blonde, the ash-blonde, and still
others.
All Are Different
Skin coloring and physique make
one blonde totally dissimiliar to an
other. Makeup and the types Of
clothes and colorS to be chosen are
as largely dependent upon these
factors as upon the color OF the
hair.
A striking example of the statu-
esque type of blonde is Myrna
Darby. There are golden glints in
her natural blonde hair and her
eyes are blue as Sapphires.
I call Miss Darby my Gains
borough" model, because she is
reminiscent of the women that
British master loved to paint. She is
tall and willowy, with fair skin and
delicate coloring. O..
Girls of this type must exercise
unusual care in makeup, to retain
all the delicacy with which nature
has endowed them. The soft, wavy
hair must be dressed to form a
natural picture-frame for the full
oval face beneath.
1t should be kept long at the sides,
so that the line of the jaw will be
slightly hidden and the cheek bones
accumulated.
A very light. rachel powder will
blend with the natural tint of the
fair skin, and soft tone of rose
rouge placed slightly below the
cheek-bones will bring out the
oval contour. Lip rouge, too, must
be of lighter variety than is usu-
ally worn by the brunei.
The blonde must be more skill
full in her application of cosmetics
than her dark-haired sister, or she
will appear artificial and uninter-
esting..
Bans Eyebrow Piucking
If her brows are colorless, a very
slight application Of light brown
pencil may be applied, but here, too,
judicious care must be exercised.
The blonde who has her brows
plucked or shaved to a mere WiSp
wilfully disfigureS herself.
The "Gainsborough" type of girl
wears black, white, all pastel tintS,
all shades of blue and the softer
greens to splendid advantage.
She should avoid shades Of or
! anee and harsh yellow.

corning the future campaign activ-

Nothing has been decided" DR..
Work said, following a long dis

Mrs. Willebrandt's first speech in
Ohio before Methodist ministers at
Springfield was not under auspices
