Lewis, Yves Fowler and Lawrence
Hogan, tried with Alfred Hoffman,
a U. T. W. organizer, on charges
OF rioting and resisting an officer,
is being rushed through. Judge G.
V. Cowper announced today that
he would hold night sessions of the
court to finish before Thanksgiv-
ing day.
The specific acts charged are that
the strikers on August 80, threw a
scab's furniture out of house from
which strikers family had been
evicted by the Marion Manufacture
ing Co., and that they attacked a
party of sheriff's deputies who tried
to replace the furniture.
Hoffman is not accused of COM
hitting this act, but is included in
the case by the employers of the
South, part of whom wish not to
have any union, not even the SELL
out organization, the United Tex
tile Workers, and part of whom
wish a few U. T. w. officials
prosecuted to lend some weight
to the theory they wish to propa-
gate, that the U. T. w. is really
trying to do something for the
workers. The really serious charge
against Hoffman, rebellion and in
surrection," was dropped a short
time ago.
Among those testifying against
the strikers is Sheriff Adkins, who
led the posse that killed six pickets
before the gates of the Marion Man
ufacturing Co., after the incidents
for which the present group is being
tried ..,+
Fifty more strikers are still held
for trial and bit of brazen legal
maneuvering by the prosecution
saved Hoffman from this later trial.
Though the courts simply refused
to include Sheriff Adkins in any
trial for numbering the strikers,
eight of his deputies will be white
washed soon at trial in Burns
vile, Yancey county.

was done, by the league, would run
head-on into the Monroe doctrine of
American imperialism.
Accepting the idea that America
was not ready to bring the issue
to the point of war, the league laid
down line that challenged America
to immediate conflict, threatening
armed intervention and moving its
headquarters from Geneva to Paris
whereupon the U. S. required Bolivia
to retreat, accepting arbitration, but
stating that it had reservations"
the nature of which Paraguay now
declares Bolivia never officially dis
closed.
The present outbreak began with
statement issued by the Bolivian
minister in Argentina, which indi-
Gates that American imperialism is
again on the offensive, the minister
saying that there is still a big row
to be settled, that just what is to
be arbitrated must be determined,
but that in any event Bolivia will
never stand for "Paraguay's unlim-
tied aspirations in the northern part
of the Chaco."
Paraguay has replied agreeing
that an agreement to arbitrate made
a year ago, must indeed require a
subject to be arbitrated, but holly
rejecting the idea that the Chaco
region can be the subject as it is
Paraguayan without question. So the
whole conflict is open again.

"a WOMEN GIVEN
CENSUS BOSS Jobs
Increasing Share in Work
Throughout Nation Noted
by Director.

Twenty-four women have already
been appointed as supervisors for the
1880 census, w. M. Steuart, director of
the census, disclosed yesterday, in an
nouncing that women are being given
an increasing share in this decenniaI
nationwide job. Other women will
ing few to be chosen, Mr.. Steuart as
serted. Only five women we're chosen
supervisors in the 1920 census. Their
work was considered highly satisfac-
tory, Mr.. Steuart said, paving the way
for the enlarged opportunity given their
sex in the forthcoming enumeration.
The women supervisors will be-:
Mary M. Graham, Selma, Ala; Mrs.
Emma F. Parsons, Tuscon, Ariz.; Miss
Minnie G. Follett. Steamboat Springs.

Supervision Important Post.
The position of census supervisor is
one of great importance, requiring a
high order of executive ability, Mr..
Steuart said, explaining that each Is
responsible for appointing about 200
enumeratorS and must instruct them
AS to their duties, supervise their work
during the enumeration, approve the
payment Of sums due them and an
nounce the population of each civil d.
visors receive a basic payment of 81 300
whatever it may be-as soon as the
canvass is completed. Census super
visors receive basic pyament of 81 800
and an additional 81 for each 1000
persons counted within their district
and for each 100 farms therein. The
length Of service of the supervisors will
average about six months, with their
heavy duties centering between the
months of March and July.
Women Long Employed.
For several censuses women have
been employed in the capacity of
enumerators-the people who do the
actual house-to-house canvassing. They
served as enumerators as far back as
the census of 1900, and possibly in rare
instances before that date. The num-
Der of women enllYnerat0rS has in
creased rapidly during the last three
successive censuses, and indications are
that more will be employed in 1880
than ever before.
Enumerators in the cities work for
two weeks, April Ills, while in the
rural districts they are allowed one
month In which to complete their task
The pay averages from IS to So per
day. Women of high educational and
clerical qualifications are often willing
to work for the temporary period, it
was explained, whereas men of CORE
spending ability are usually already
employed.

C0TT0NSEED MEAL HELD
MUSHROOM CULTURE AID
Experiments at New York Station
Prove Successful With Green
house Plants.

Although unable to explain why 1t
works so WELL the fact remains, saws
F. G. Stewart, botanist at the New York
State Experiment Station at Geneva,
and an authority on mushrooms, that
| the addition Of cottonSeed meal to the
ordinary manure compost used In grow
ing mushrooms results in markedly
larger yields. This was discovered In
tests made at the station to determine
whether the space under the benches
in greenhouses might not be used to
advantage for growing mushrooms
This study made possible the trying
out of number of compostS, with the
result that the cottonseed meal-manure
compost outrankS all others. A re-
port on Mr.. Stewards experiments is
available In publication issued by
the station and available upon request.
Mushrooms are sometimes grown
under the benches in greenhouses, out
the practice is not as common as one
might expect considering that the
space under greenhouse benches Is
usually not utilized for any other pur-
pose," says Mr.. Stewart. Perhaps, the
reason for his is found in the diff
f1culty in maintaining the greenhouses
the low, even temperatures and high
humidity required by mushrooms.
Naturally, the temperature and hui
nudity OF the greenhouse are regulated
TO meet the requirements Of the prin-
cipal crop and the mushrooms must
get along as best they can. However,
some growers succeed fairly well in
combining mushroom culture with the
production of certain greenhouse crops
The striking results obtained In
these experiments indicate that cotton
seed meal may have an important place
In mushroom culture. Success with
mushrooms Is uncertain, particularly
among amateur growers. It Is possible
That many failures are due to defects
in the compost which might be reme-
died by the use of cottonSeed meal
The material Is inexpensive and easily
applied.

Countess Mignano in Private

Appearance.

From the land of bel canto comes a
charming singer, favorite in Washing
ton, who holds the minority opinion
among most singers questioned on the
point, that she feels the radio Is of
marked assistance rather than being
detrimental to the concert field. This
lyric soprano Is Donna Ortensia, de-
Scended from one of Italys noblest fam
lilies.
The radio is a great help. In my
opinion" said she, flor it creates in
creased interest in a wider field of peo-
pie in music. Only the people too tired
to go out to concerts will content them
selves entirely with listening over the
radio. After all, these tired people
wouldn't go anyhow, would they?"
To Give Song Program.
Donna Ortensia, who, in private life,
Is the Countess Mignano- Piercy, arrived
here over the week end, and will give
program of songs at the Carlton Hotel
Friday afternoon at o'clock. This will
be her third local appearance in a re-
cital. The daughter of the Duke di
Mignano, a former Ambassador from
Italy to the United States. and a Ru-
manian mother, this gifted singer spe-
cializes in the folk songs of both Italy
and Rumania, although she also sings

Italy Is Worried
As Births in Cities
Show Big Decline
Grave Concern Expressed
OverDecrease Of29, 400
in Eleven Months.
By Radio to The Star.

By Radio to The Star.
ROME, December 28.-Grave con-
Germ is expressed here at the steadily
declining birth rate throughout Italy.
Statistics just issued for the first IL
months of 1929 report 29.46O fewer
births in that period than during the
corresponding period of 1928. It is
pointed out that If this reduction is
not stemmed, Italy 10 years hence will
have on her hands the same problem
which at present faces France.
The infant mortality rate moreover
shows tendency to increase, the blame
for this being laid in large degree to
city life. Certain cities reported no in
crease in births in the 11-month period.
Trieste in November reported 246
births and 245 deaths, and Fiume In
the same month SO births and ST
deaths. In the district of Bologna
deaths outnumbered births, while in
Vercei not single birth was recorded
Throughout northern Italy the situa-
ton is creating anxiety. Only in the
south are conditions better, but even
there the superabundance of births
that formerly characterized this dis
trict Is less marked.

Prejudice Being Overcome.

An unwarranted prejudice to reindeer
meat is being overcome and the market
for the meat is being gradually extend
ed. The shipments from Alaska are
constantly increasing. While this meat
is quite different in flavor from mutton
and beef, it is pleasant and desirable in
every way. The meat is carefully cut
before shipment and the purchaser gets
nttle bones or waste. Virtually every
ounce is edible. Reindeer roasts (the
Lego costs As cents a pound. Steaks cost
IS cents and chops SIS cents, but there
is no waste, small amount of the meat
goes a long way. Cheaper cuts of REIN
deer combine with vegetables to make
delicious casseroles or to provide a dif-
ferent favored pot roast. Still another
virtue OF reindeer meat is the fact that
the supply Is regular and therefore the
prices are standard and never vary.

TO STEAL
BODY IS REVEALED
Arkansas Sheriff Believes
Two Men Tried to Carry
Away Woman's Remains.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MARKED TREE, Ark, December %
Sheriff E. H. Landers tonight revealed
what he believed was an attempt BY
two men to steal the body Of an un-
identified woman found shot anc
beaten to death near here December
IL. He said the attempt had led hin
to believe persons who knew the wom-
an were anxious that her identity
remain unknown.
The body already has been errone-
ously identified twice, once by man
who said she was his wife and once by
man who claimed her as his daugh-
ter. Both women subsequently were
found alive.
Asked to See Body.
What the sheriff said was an attempt
to steal the body was made shortly
after midnight today, he said. Two
men went to a local undertaking es-
tabliShment where more than 5000
persons have viewed the body. after
midnight this morning and asked to
see the body, Charles Ramsey, an at
tendent, told the sheriff.
RamSey's suspicious were aroused
into the morgue with them alone and
one of them pretended to become sud-
denly i'll, begging Ramsey to go for a
doctor.
When Ramsey refused and suggested
that his companion go for the doctor
the mans health apparently returned
to normal Immediately.
Followed Men to Truck.
Ramsey told Sheriff Landers that he
followed the men to the street and
saw them board truck, bearing q
Haiti, Mo, city license tag.
The attendant ran to notify officers
of the incident and returned to the
undertaking establishment just in time
to see the truck pass again, this time
followed closely by an automobile.
Half an hour later, he said, the same
truck stopped in front Of the under
taking establishment, but drove on
when the occupants saw him.
The sheriff was attempting to locate
the two men.

ODD CATERPILLAR
TURNS TO FUNGUS
Scientist Puzzled Over Question
of Propagation in New
Zealand.

One Of the strangest of all forms Of
life, naturalists say, Is the vegetable
caterpillar found in New Zealand. This
strange creature, known to the natives
as the Aweto, is a sort of cross between
a caterpillar and fungus. 1t is the
custom of the caterpillar portion of
this strange life-form to bury itself a
few inches below the ground at the
foot of a myrtle tree, where 1t lives
until 1t Is full grown and then under
goes a marvellous transformation.
At some time and for some reason
unknown to the scientist the spores of
a vegetable fungus become attached to
the caterpillar's neck just between the
head and the first ring and there grow
upward to the height of from six to
eight inches. In shape this stem some
what resembles a cattail. It shoots up
three to four inches above the ground
in which the caterpillar is buried, fill
ing every possible space within the outer
skin, but leaving the external form of
the caterpillar unchanged. AS soon as
the vegetable matter has been entirely
substituted for animal both fungus and
caterpillar become hard and dry and
perish. This object has now a brown
color and resembles a wooden cater
pillar with a huge form standing up
from the back of its neck
How the caterpillar manages to prop
agate it's species no one can tell. Usu-
ally the caterpillar becomes a chrysalis,
the chrysalis changes into moth, the
moth lays eggs and these eggs again
become caterpillars and so on without
stopping.
Many reasons have been given for
this unusual combination of life, but
none has been accepted, in it's entire
ty, by the savant. The most reasonable
explanation Is that while the caterpil-
lar is boring at the foot of the myrtle
tree for its only food seed of the fungus
are caught on the caterpillar's neck and
there held till they begin to grow.

HAITIANS SHOW CONCERN
OVER LOW COFFEE PRICE
Guard Commandant Finds Little
Interest in Politics in 500
Mile Tour of Island.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, December
2S.-The commandant of the Nacional
Garde returned today from a six-day
500-mile inspection tour of the mill
tary departments of the West and North
and reported the country people were
concerned only over the low price OF
coffee and the scarcity of rain.
He found little interest in politics
but residents of the towns were some
what exercised over the low price OF
coffee and the taxation of tobacco and
alcohol. The production of tobacco has
materially decreased in former tobacco
centers, with the growers turning to
the cultivation of other products.
The unusually prolonged drought has
threatened the cotton crop and market
produce. In ell sections the comman-
dant found holiday festivities In prog
