STUDIO DIDN'T HAVE
SPRINKLER SYSTEM
Failure Blamed on Prevention
Company, Saying Appeal
Had Been Made.

by Jn6 hSSOCldleu EEeSSs
NEW YORK, December l4.-The
Pathe Film Co. had not installed a
sprinkler system in its studio, which
was destroyed by fire Tuesday with a
loss of 10 lives, because officials had
been told by fire-prevention company,
hired to look into the matter, that an
appeal had been filed from an order to
put in the system, Police Commissioner
said today.
At the same time, Commissioner
Whalen said, it was found that the ap-
peal had not actually been filed.
Bernard Lynch. an inspector of the
Bureau of Fire Prevention, told Com
missioner Whalen that when he went to
the studio November to see how the
installation Of the sprinklers was pro-
crossing he found it had not been
started.
Henry Lally, studio manager, now I'M
der arrest with John G. Finn, vice
president of Pathe Films, showed him a
letter, Lynch said, written on stationary
of the Croker National Fire-Prevention
Engineering Co., of which Edward F.
Croker. former chief of the Fire Depart
ment is head, stating that the appeal
had been filed.
The Bureau of Standards and Appeals
had no record of such an appeal.
Commissioner Whalen said that so
far $40 containers of film have been
found in the ruins of the studio, al
though the law permitted storing only
five containers of 900 feet of film each
in building of its type.

ILLINOIS STRIKERS
co BACK TO WORK
Hundreds Return to Coal
Mines as Christmas Needs
Weld Influence.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TAYLORVILLE, Ill, December IA
Belief was expressed by mine officials
tonight that the National Miners Union
coal strike in Illinois is fading in the
face of Yuletide needs.
While pickets of the National Miners
Union-offshoot of the United Mine
Workers of America-were dispersed as
fast as they appeared at mines, nun
dredS of miners filed Quickly BACK 10
their places underground.
Hundreds more issued forth from the
black earth at quitting time, their
pockets bullying with the fruits OF one
of the fastent pay days on record In tne
Southern Illinois field. On this, more
than anything else, mine officials based
a prediction that whistle time MONDAY
morning would find most OF the mines
operating at full blast.
Nearly 500 deserted the striking ranks
in the Taylorville district to WELD tnelr
picks in Peabody mine No. at ToVey
and Pana Co. mine No. l at Pana.
ONLY a few strikers stood about in
chilly groups as these mines resumed.
Another force of 400 men returned TO
work in the Belleville district, and
pickets were only partially successful
at Livingston, Ill. There they seized
the dinner pals OF several WORKERS, puC
no disorder followed.
At Panther Greek mine, near Au-
burn, the strikers failed for the third
time in a picket attempt. They were
turned back on their way to the dig
gings by county authorities. Before
they were dispersed, however, the pick
cts stopped a group of 100 men going
to work at, Cora north of Springfield.
About IT'S workers entered the mine
later without molestation.
Confidence in the international or
ganization of mine workers, headed by
John L. Lewis, was voted today by 600
members of the United Mine Workers
Union local at West Frankfort. This
body voted to remain idle December II
as mark of respect for Lewis, who on
that day will seek to dissolve an in
junction obtained by the opposing
State faction. The State faction seeks
to retain control of the union in
Illinois.

ditionaI Testimony at Trial
of Deputies.
By the Associated Press.

huntsville, N. c., December A.
Additional testimony that shots we're
fired in the direction of officers from a
crowd of striking workers at a Marion,
N. C., cotton mill during labor dis
turbance october 2, was introduced to-
dav by the defense in the trial of eight
deputy sheriffs charged with killing six
men in the battle. John Snoddy, over
seer of the carding room at the Marion
Manufacturing Co. mill, where the bat
tie was fought at the mill gate few
hours after a strike had been called,
said he saw Tilden Carver, one of the
men killed during the fight. fire pis-
toll lin the direction of the sheriff's
forces
The witness said the crowd grew
more disorderly as it increased in num-
bers and as workers on the day shift
reached the mill early in the morning
released by Sheriff Oscar Adkins of
Marion, as the crowd rushed toward
the officers" Snoddy said.
During cross-eXamination by DR.. j.
F. Miller, manager of the Marion Gen.
eral Hospital, a State witness, earlier
in the week, the defense established
that pistol cartridges were found in
Carver's pockets when he was brought
to the hospital. Carver, Luther Bry-
o1n, James Jonas. Randolph Hall, Sam
uel Vickers and James Roberts received
fatal wounds in the fight. Deputy Sher-
ifs Broad Robbins, Dave Jarrett, Jim
Owens, Charles Tate, Taylor Greene,
William Twiggs, Robert Ward and w. A.
Fender are charged with second-degree
murder, an offense carrying sentence
of to 80 years, as a result of their
deaths
Snoddy declared he saw man who
later learned was Jonas, scuff1ing with
the sheriff. The sheriff was down on
the ground and Jonas was over him
with stick in his hands" He said he
saw Allen Stewart, a striker, strike at
the sheriff with stick.
He said he saw firing by the sheriff's
deputies and also from the crowd OF
strikers. A number of defense wit
nesses testified today that the firing
ceased as the crowd of strikers began tc
run, contradicting testimony of severa
State witnesses that the officers KEEP
on shooting as long as they had any

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN Germany, De-
cember 14.-When the dirigible Graf
Zeppelin takes off for the North Pole
next Spring she will be equipped with
a special radio apparatus for trans
hitting pictures by wireless. Even
while the giant airship is speeding over
the limitless white wastes of the Arctic
newspaper readers will be able to fol-
low the flight in pictures as well as
words.
The apparatus is also intended to re-
ceive weather charts, thus obviating
the necessity of the navigation officers
laboriously drawing them with the aid
of weather information received by
wireless.
The Siemens e. Halske Co., which
is to supply the telefoto radio plant. has
devised an apparatus in which the re-
ceiving and transmitting devices are
combined. 1t is claimed for this new
apparatus that it is impervious to out
side atmospheric and other influences
and that it is not heavy.

S|GHTLESS TENOR
TO SING FOR LIONS
Blind Youth Learns Grand
Opera Roles, With Bright
Future Seen for Him.

Leland Logan, young tenor VINO
has been blind from birth and
who is probably the only blind person
in America who has not only learned
grand opera roles, but sung them, will
sing for the Lions Club at the May
flower Wednesday at l pm.
Mr.. Logan comes originally from
Denver, Colo. He now is only % years
old. He is a graduate of the Colorado
School for the Blind, in Colorado
Springs and received scholarship from
the American Foundation for the Blind.
This, with the aid of private individuals
who had warm friendly interest in his
career, made it possible for him to go
to Europe last March and study and
gain actual experience on the stages OF
Italian opera houses. He returned
home in October. Following his pre-
studied while abroad under Salvador
Cottone of Milan and also received
training in the French operas and art
songs under Felix LerouX of the Paris
Opera.
COttOne Predicts Great Future.
Signor Cottone has stated that when
Leland Logan is 80 years old-10 years
from now-he should be vocally capable
of singing any tenor role at the Metro
politan Opera House. Already he has
appeared in italy in Lucia di Lam
mermoor," "Rigoletto," La Boheme"
and ''Manon LeScaut."
OF course, the thing that makes it
possible for this boy to sing opera at
all and gain sense of interpreting
roles and participating in the stage
business of his roles is the fact that
he has perfect sense of orientation.
He may be taken all over the stage or
turned about suddenly. yet he knows
exactly where he is. He has received
invaluable coaching and assistance from
another singer, Rita Gilbert, soprano,
who has sung opposite him in these
opera performances and understands
him so thoroughly that she knows
exactly the things he is liable to need
suggestion for and others that he will
grasp almost uncannily by himself
Does Not Appear to Be Blind.
Mr.. Logan has an asset in the fact
that, to the casual observer, he does not
appear blind at ALL His eyes seem to
focus on objects quite normally. Charles
B. Hayes, director of the foundation
for the blind which awarded Mr.. Logan
the scholarship, is with the boy in
Washington on this trip. Mrs. Hayes
accompanied him to Europe last Spring
and both Mr. and Mrs. Hayes personally
are keenly interested in his progress.

with this handicap of blindness to go
ahead and sing in opera wearing gor-
geous costumes that he cannot see,
acting his part before scenery that
to prima donnas of whom he can only
judge by the quality of their voices
and the feeling they put into their
music. There are times. especially
lately when. according to Mr.. Hayes,
Leland Hogan finds it particularly diff
cult to carry on" so COMPLETELY blindly
in the opera world OF make believe.
But he overcomes such oark moments
and is forging ahead toward the goal
that he is sure to reach with such
persistence and patience as he has
shown in the fundamental training.

Fines VS.. Jail Terms

Justice has a commercial value. 1t was clearly
brought out at the meeting Of county commissioners
court recently. In glancing over the county phis IL
was found that food at the Jail for the past month mao
cost a total Of $500. This was said to have been the
largest item Of this sort presented before the COM
missioners over a span Of years.
Inquiry developed that a large number OF the per-
sons In the Jail were serving time for unpaid fines.
The law p~rescribes that If a man is unable to pay ms
fine, he shall serve it out in the jail.
It is much better for TIE convicted person 10 pay
fines than to lay 1t out in jail. The county makes
money when the fines are colected-loses money
when the person is jailed. The manner In which
Justice is administered therefore has a commercial
value.
In an attempt to avoid falling. it was suggested
that when a person is fined. that the justice OF peace
allow the man to make bond pending payment OF the
fine. In this manner the county could collect the
money In many cases, whereas they would be a bur-
den to the county If they were jailed.
The commissioners will study this procedure TO
find out II 1t is legal.
BY accepting only good bondsmen and a strict
system Of collecting. the county doubtless could be
saved many dollars by use of this procedure. But the
fine probably would not prove as effective as the jail
term in controlling crime.
The fine Is better for the county, but possibly not
for the person fined.
