ty pocketbook on the kitchen floor

VINCENNES, Ind, Dec. 13.-Coal
miners of Knox county cast secret
ballots this afternoon to determine
whether they will return to work
for a SIS a day basic wage scale.
The proposed contract also in
cluded clauses in the recent Terre

working conditions it was said. That
agreement provides a $6.l0 basic
daily wage.
Two voting places have been
designated, one here and the other
at Bicknell. The polls were to be

Last week more than 100 union
miners organized a temporary Knox
County Coal Miners Association
and agreed to return to work on
the $5 basis but none reported at
the mines on the date set for
resumption.
Union leaders have declared that
the new contract does not have the
sanction of the organization and
mass meetings have been held to
keep the union miners in line.
According to an announcement
today, the Pennsylvania railroad
will start train to the mines as
soon as enough men sign to make
the trip.

Woman Who Wed Some
One Else 13 Years Ago
Caused Rivalry.
BpUnitcd Press

BpUHitcd Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Two
b-0thers-a plumber and carpenter
are dead, because they could not
forget their rivalry for the hand of
girl who married somebody else
thirteen years ago.
Willard Kicker, 80, the carpenter,
was shot to death by his brother
Robert, early today in the quiet
suburb of Whitestone, Queens.
Robert died on the way to Flush
ing hospital. 1t is believed he took
poison after shooting his brother,
although an autopsy will be
necessary today to ascertain cause
o. death.
The brothers lived with their two
unmarried sisters, Julia and
Elizabeth.
Police said Willard, still suffering
from gassing in the war, returned
home intoxicated this morning.
Apparently the quarrel over the
girl broke out again, for the two
women fed from the house to sum-
mon police.
The brothers rivalry for the girl
is so vague in the minds of their
sisters that they cannot even recall
the girls name. She lived in the
neighborhood, they said, became en-
gagged to Willard and then broke the
troth to marry some one else.
Willard accused Robert of causing
the estrangement, and since then
the brothers have quarreled almost
constantly, their sisters said.

DISCUSS GAS FIGHT
City Promised Plants, Says
Attorney.

There should be no question in
the minds of trustees of the Citizen
Gas Company as to their duty to
turn the gas plants over to the city
in 1880, declared Russell T. McFall,
attorney, representing the Indian
apolis Engineering Society, to Ed
ward H. Knight, city attorney, to-
day.
The trustees in 1921, when they
surrendered the franchise which
provides that the plants should be
turned over to the city in 1880,
adopted a resolution saying it was
their intention to abide by this pro-
vision, McFall asserted.
McFall also said he had discov-
cred that the public service commits
sion in accepting the surrender and
issuing an indeterminate permit had
stated it was not settling and ques-
ton Of whether the provision for
turning the four plants over to the
city was voided but believed that
was a matter for courts to settle.

messages sent to- The Times by civic
leaders:
MRS. JOHN M. WILLIAMS, 1854
Talbot Street, Chairman Literature
Department of the Woman's De-
partment Club-Since the Kellogg
peace pact stands for peace among
nations and peace among mankind,
am in favor of it. I could not
stand for anything that was in
favor of war. Any move that tends
to bring mankind together is COM
mendable gesture.
MISS HELEN COFFEY, 1915
North Pennsylvania Street, Presi-
dent Alpha Laterian Club am in
favor of getting the peace pact out
of the senate before Christmas time.
1t would be a splendid thing for the
people of this country to join in a
world movement for peace.
MRS. WINSTON RA1MBO, 1903

Alpha Eta Laterian Club am in
favor of this measure for world
peace and think it would be an ex-
cellent time of year, considering the
approaching holiday season, for the
United States to do its bit toward
giving the world gift of peace.
MRS. j. w. MOORE, 125 Downey
Avenue, Chairman Foreign Rela-
tions Committee of the D. A. r.
I am in favor of the ratification of
the Kellogg peace pact as I under
stand it, and I think The Times
campaign is great ide9
MRS. WILLIAM BORCHERD-
ING, Chairman American Home
Committee of the Woman's De-
partment Club certainly am in
favor O fGhe ratification of the Kel-
logg peace pact and hope it can be
gotten out of the senate by Christ
mas time.
MRS. WILLIAM A. MYERS,
President of the Aftermath Club
think The Times is doing splendid
thing in carrying on this campaign
to get the Kellogg peace pact out
of the senate before Christmas. I
am heartily in favor of the pact and
am glad to see that people are
awakening to it's Importance.
ED HUNTER, Secretary Chamber
of Commerce-"T pact is a step
in the right direction. AS far back
as man can delve into annals of
history, and on up to the present,
we find nothing but slaughter,
bloodshed, avarice and greed for
power. 1t is about time the human
race awakens before it sets off a
confagration that will consume the
entire populace."

LONDON, Dec. 13.-The next
forty-eight hours may decide the
fate of King George. At the palace
this afternoon it officially was re-
ported the king is progressing"
While the king stood the strain
of Wednesdays two operations well,
considering his weakened condition.
his doctors admitted in an official
bulletin this morning that his weak
ness and the poisoning of his sys-
tenn were considerable
The doctors reported hopefully,
however, that the king was not los
ing ground. The bulletin follows:
"The king had some sleep. The
local condition is satisfactory The
weakness and toXaenlia are consid-
cradle, but the pulse is steady and
his majesty is not losing ground"
The reference to weakness caused
great concern, as well as the ref
erence to toXaemia.
(ToXaemia is defined in Dorland's
Standard American Medical diction-
airy as blood poisoning;" toxins
produced in the body cells or by in
fuence of micro -organisms)
It was said the weakness was a
natural result of Wednesday nights
operation, which, while techni- lly
a minor one, was serious under the
circumstances.
Now the poison that was pouring
into the bloodstream is being
drained by a tube inserted into the
infected area on the right side Of
the chest after Wednesday nights
operation.
