MIST BEDIMS MOON
IN PARTIAL ECLIPSE
Bare Evidence of Earth's Shadow
Visible in Their Area From
1921 to 1928 AM.

Washington Grained its neck last night
and early this morning for glimpse
of the widely heralded eclipse-and was
disappointed.
In the first place the spectacle, even
had conditions been at their best. was
inconsequential since only IL OF the
moons surface was obscured by the
earth's shadow. AS the moon sped
on its course about the earth, It
skinned into the edge of the shadow
caused by this planets passage through
the suns light It was 1921 am. when
the first. darkened area Of earth's
shadow was visible on the moon and
at 1888 am. the patch of shadow
had reached it's maximum by covering
slightly more than a tenth OF the
moons diameter.
The conditions were bad since the
mist and clouds formed an almost i'm
penetrable veil through which lay OBJ
servers could not penetrate. Hundreds
of persons telephoned The Star ONCE
for information about the scheduled
eclipse as early as 1880 o'clock last night.
At that time the United States Weather
Bureau held out hopes for compara-
lively clear sky, but at midnight the
mist put in its appearance.

CHECK OFF, WITHHELD
BY MINE OPERATORS
First Action Taken in Kansas-Mis
souri, District Against Howat
Recognition.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PTTTSBURG, Kans., April 12.-The
first action of mine operators in the
Kansas Missouri district against recog-
milton of the insurgent United Mine
Workers Of America organization head
ed by Alexander Howat was taken today
when the operators withheld the
"checkoff" from all except nine local
mine unions.
The action was taken under isntruc-
tions from w. L. A. johnson, kansas
City, general commissioner OF the South
west Interstate Coal Operators Asso-
citation. The "checkoff" is the fund COL
lected by assessments against every
union miner in the field and turned
over to the local union secretaries by
the operators. The "checkoff" money
is used to pay union dues, fines, relief
and other fees.
In a referendum last Thursday in
Surgent leaders announced miners IN
the district voted approximately 1,700
to 40 to send their national dues to
the Howat organization at Springfield,
Ill, instead of to the regular organl-
zation headed by President John L.
Lewis, indianapolis.
Henry ALLAH, appointed provisional
president of the district, denied the in
surgents' claim that the referendum
showed that the bulk Of the miners
were behind Howat. Allah said there
were 5000 union miners in the dis
trict and most of them did not parti-
cipate in the referendum as the result
of a warning that to do so would jeop-
ardiZe their standing in the regular
union.
Action Of the operators in withhold
ing the "checkoff" funds will prevent
the dues being sent to the Howat
branch Of the Union.

PORTABLE SUPPORT
PLAN TO GET TEST
Stringers Along Beams Are
Designed to Protect Schools
From Wind.

An experiment in construction de-
signed to fortify portables against wind
damage will be tried out on one Of the
i've Wesley Heights portable school
houses tomorrow, it was announced
yesterday by Jere J. Crane, first as
sistant superintendent in charge of
school business affairs.
Mr.. Crane, in consultation with Mu-
nicipal Architect Albert l.. Harris and
members Of that officials staff, evolved
q plan Of extending 2x4-inch stringer3
along the outer. edge of the extended
gable roof beams. These StringCrs
would be securely fastened to the roof
beams and in turn anchored to the YER
ticle, walls Of the structures by other
2x4's at intervals along the whole
length of the building. This method
was 26dopted as the most expedient, III
viewnoof the possibility of frequent wind
storms at this season Of the year.
Mr.. Crane said every effort will be
made TO complete the work on one of
the five Wesley Heights portables by
Tuesday, so that the Board of Educa-
tons committee on buildings, grounds
and equipment may inspect the job
preparatory to attending the full meet
Ing of the board the following day. If
the plan is found successful, it Is ex-
pected that ali the IS portahl"S will be
so strengthened. The work would be
done by the District repair shop.

Sugar Tests Fail
To Get Convicted
Sheriff Freedom
Quarter-Spoonful Differ
ence Figures in Marquette,
Mich, Liquor Hearing.

oy SHC <ASSOClNbC0 EICbSs
MARQUETTE, Mich. April 12.-The
difference between q half and q quar-
ter teaspoonful Of sugar In its effect
as producing beer or just near beer
brought about the conviction Of Sheriff
John S. johnson Of Gogebic County,
Mich, late yesterday in Federal Court
here on charges of manufacturing and
possessing beverage containing more
than one-haH of / per cent alcohol.
Sheriff Johnson, owner of bottling
plant at Bessemer, Mich, was indicted
as responsible for the manufacture there
of beer by John Seeke, who was placed
in charge Of the plant when johnson
took Office on January /, 1927.
Government chemists testified that
analysis of brew seized in the plant last
November showed 1856 to 2.29 alcoholic
content. johnson declared that If such
were the case it proved only that Seeke
did not follow his instructions on how
to make near beer. He detailed what he
said were his instructions, placing
emphasis on a quarter teaspoonful of
sugar as the portion for certain guam
tity of the beverage.
The defense then introduced DR.
George John of Detroit, who told the
jury that the formula would produce
near beer with the legal alcoholic con-
tent of 0.46 per cent.
Seeke testified, however, that John
sons directions were to use "one-fourth
to one-half a teaspoonful of sugar.
John Matchett, Government chemist,
was called into court last Tuesday and
directed to make a brew under Seeke'S
direction. Yesterday he returned to re-
port from the witness stand that the
beer so made tested 0.86 per cent alco-
hol.
Johnson's attorney announced that
they will appeal the conviction to the
Circuit Court Of Appeals at Cincinnati.
Sentence was deferred.

LITTLE GAIN MADE
in BATTLE OF SALT
Refusal of Government to
Arrest Gandhi Has Per-
turbed Nationalist.
BY Radio to The Star.

BY Radio to The Star.
Copyright, 1890, New York Tribune, Incl
LONDON, April 12.-The battle of
salt in India has now lasted almost q
week without decisive advantage to
either side. Accompanied by picked
volunteers, Mahatma Gandhi has
marched to the sea and the salt laws
have been ceremonially broken by the
extraction of small quantities of I'M
palatable salt.
All over 1ndi Nationalist have fol-
lowed his exaI pile Of violation of the
government salt monopoly as the first
step in the campaign of civil disobedi-
ence designed to bring about independ-
ence. Although it does not appear that
the campaign has yet touched the
masses to any extent, it has had suffi-
Gent success in some localities to make
the task of government officials dill
cult. Nevertheless they appear to be
keeping cool, and it is evident that they
are following instructions to act as un-
provocatively as possible.
Officials Ignore Gandhi.
Some Nationalist have been arrested,
either for breaking the salt laws them
selves or for melting others to do so,
and have been sentenced to varying
terms of Imprisonment. Gandhi him
self, although equally guilty. has not
been touched. Such procedure has dis
concerted the Mahatn1a, who had count
ed on immediate arrest. Now deprived
for the time being, at any rate OF a
martyrs crown. the salt has lost some
of its SAVIOR for him.
The Indian government has taken the
view that at present Gandhi at large
is much less dangerous than Gandhi in
JAIL His arrest might well lead to a
rapid spread Of the civil disobedience
movement, while his continued freedom
may cause the attempt TO defeat the salt
monopoly to become a little ridiculous
and peter out. So far, therefore, the
battle is a drawn one. but the situation
remains tense and potentially explosive.
Struggle Involves VicerOy.
Essentially the struggle Is resolving
itself into q personal duel between two
very unusual ersonalities-Gandhi on
the one hand and the viceroy, Lord IT.
win. on the other. Lord Irwin, an
aristocrat by birth and Tory by train
ing, before his elevation to his present
position had served in the British cabi-
net and had been prominent member
of a group of earnest young Conserva-
tives who. because of their belief in So
cial reform, we're derisively nicknamed
| by their die-hard colleagues the
"Y. M. c. A."
In India he has worked hard to es-
tablish confidence, and his simplicity,
tact and approachableness have won
him popularity. He also appears to
have liberalized the attitude OF Indian
! bureaucracy and to have won support
among the Anglo-Indian community for
his conciliatory policy.

Mr.. Cooper spoke at the final session

tons for the professional education of
teachers; attended by 500 educators.
"Our Government has been described
as one of. by and for the people" he

eminent for the people until your pro-
fession recognizes it's full responsibilities
It will not be a Government for the
people until its problems are handled
for solution by the wisest and the wiSeSt
and best among U.s."

resented the average instruction reached
by people of this country before the
World War, adding that at present 1t
has attained the equivalent Of the first
grade Of high school.
"Try to imagine the difficulty Of Solv-
ing the problems facing us with a col
lective education that has not yet
reached a full high school course.
Imagine this and you will see the ire
mendous burden that lies upon us who
are engaged in educational work."
