Harsh BiCkneII Restraining
Order Argued Before
Supreme Court.

1.-THE most unjust and inequitable
proposition I have ever known, -
John a. Riddle, counsel for District
II of the United Mine Workers,
today termed the temporary re-
straining order against the miners
issued by Judge Linn y. Hay of
Marion superior court two.
Riddle appeared before the SUI
preme court to argue that a tempo
rary writ of prohibition, restraining
the lower courts order, be made per-
n1anent.
He pointed out that the Hay writ
is SO drastic that it prohibits the
miners from meeting even in their
own homes and from discussing the
strike on the streets Of Bicknell or
Vincennes.
The writ of prohibition was sought
when Hay refused to grant the
miners change Of judge.
Judge Defended
Attorneys Larz Whitcomb and
Henry Admanson, Terre Haute, de-
fend Hay and argued that a de-
musrer filed today be sustained anc
the writ of prohibition dropped.
They coltended that change OF
judge could not be granted since
the injunction is but a part of the
receiyership suit of the Knox Con-
Solidated Coal Company.
The restraining order was issued
upon request of E. D. Logsdon
receiver for the company, against
all members of the miners union in
the Knox county district.
Logsdon reopened the Bicknell
mines on an agreed scale Of $3.50
a day and later got Hays court to
approve a SIS scale, it is charged
Union men declared this a breach
of contract and sought to influence
men from taking employment in
the mines.
Charge No Notice
Henry Warren, co-counsel with
Riddle, declared that the entire
business was carried on without due
process as no notice was filed on the
persons being enjoined.
"It is entirely a matter Of put
ting property rights above those OF
life ITSELF" Warren asserted.
Judges pointed out that argu-
ment was to be on the upholding OF
dissolution of the prohibition and
that the law and aot facts in the
case were up for discussion.
The facts must be brought before
the high court on appeal it was
pointed ont.
Attorneys agreed to have all
papers in the case filed by Saturday
and early ruling is expected.

CRIME ROLE DENIED
Never Trained Boys to
Steal, Witness Declares.

William Oils, 20, or 1914 Naomi

ual criminal and second degree
burglary, today told criminal court
jury he did not break into the resi-
dence of Thomas Skinner, 1905
South Sheffield avenue, last August.

During Tuesday afternoons testi-
mony a 17-year-old boy, whose

declared he was being coached in
burglary by Oils.
The case was to go to the jury
THIS afternoon. The habitual GRIM
inal charge is based on two alleged
felony convictions against Oils. He
is alleged to have served sentences

CHICAGO, March q. - Thes
United States government today.
arrested "Scarface" Al Capone, no-A
torious Chicago gang leader, on a
charge Of contempt of federal SQUIRT
growing out of his attempt to dodge
a federal grand jury summons.
The warrant was served on Ca
pOne as he emerged from the grand
jury room in the Federal building
where he was being questioned con-
cerning the activities of beer run
ners in the suburb of Chicago
Heights. He gave bond of $4,000 and
returned Immediately to his suite
in the Lexington hotel.
Although his name has ,heen-
linked with almost every major
crime in the Chicago underworld in
the last five years, this was the first
time that the "big shot" of beer
dom had been arrested in three
years. His previous arrest was on
a grand jury indictment charging
violation of the prohibition law, but
the case was dismissed for lack of
evidence.
Takes Arrest With Smile
"Scarface" accepted his arrest
with q smile as the photographers
flashlights doomed at him outside
the grand jury ante-roon. "All
right" he said after the warrant
had been read to him, what do we
do noW?"
Capone's attorneys led him TO the
chief clerks office where arrange
ments were made for the bond.
He then descended to the first
floor through a lane Of guards, en-
tered a taxi, and accompanied by
two squads of detective bureau po-
lice, drove to the Lexington hotel,
where he and his bodyguard oc-
cupy several rooms.
1t remained for Miss Mabel
Walker Wilebrandt. assistant at
torney-general in charge Of prohi-
bition enforcement, to trip Capone
up. She investigated affidavits of
illness that Capone had presented
here and found them to be false.
Orders Arrest
Mrs. Willebrandt instructed the
Chicago district attorneys Office to
arrest Scarface on warrant charg-
ing that he willingly, corruptly and
contemptuously" caused DR.. Ken
meth Phillips in Miami to write a
letter stating that Capone had
contracted bronchial pneumonia in
Florida and would be unable to ap-I
pear before the grand jury in Chi-I
cago, because it would endanger hiss
health"
When the affidavit of illness was
presented here early in the month,
the date for Capone's appearance
was postponed from March IL to
March 20.

charges and counter charges.
Williams refused to resign when
requested, on the grounds that the
law requires filing of charges and
hearing and the only basis he

Leslie is said to have ordered"
the commissioners to fire Williams

that he will demand public airing
of the charges.
