IN MINE RIOTS
Two Bound to Grand Jury
in Strike Killing.
BIZ United Press


PITTSBURGH, July S.-The sec
ond month Of the soft coal strike
in the Pennsylvania coal mining
area, district stretching over a
seventy mile front, found conditions
little changed today as the law
moved against disorder that has
characterized the strike.
Herbert Reel, deputy sheriff, and
Thomas Myerscough, a labor leader,
were held for the grand jury today
on manslaughter charges growing
out of the death of Steve Ziaric,
a miner killed in the riots at Wild
wood June %. Eleven others were
wounded in this riot, which was
broken up when Reel led officers in
to the group.
A coroner's verdict ordered the
two men held for grand jury action.
Myerscough is charged with incit-
ing to riot, the allegation being that
he led miners to riot and picket at
the Butler Consolidated Coal Com
pany in defiance of a court in
junction.
Ziaric is one of the three men
who have been killed since the
strike started month ago.

I'LL SHOW EN- HOW

RYE, N. Y. July s.-Henry L.
Doherty, 61-year-old utilities mag
nate, wrapped his dressing gown
around his frail form, as he sat,
drinking in the sunshine atop the
Westminster Country Club, and
banged the table with a vigorous
fist.
'They think I'm a sick man." he
said. 'Tu show them how sick I
am. I'm in this fight to a finish,
and when I get into fight I never
let go until it's over and I'm ON
top"
His keen eyes flashed, and a rud-
dy glow came to his cheeks as he
explained his side of this uproar
out in Kansas" in which his COM
pany, the Cities Service Company,
Governor Harry Woodring of KAN
sas, and the Kansas City Star, have
become involved.
'Woodring is under the influence
of the STAR" he said. The Star
has been fighting for lower gas
rates. There is a commission, as in
many states, whose duty it is to
hold hearings on the justice of util-
ity rates.
Held No Hearings
''They held no hearings. We never
were given a chance to present our

acting under the influence of the
Star, Woodring had his securities
commission bar the sale of Cities
Service securities.
See how ridiculous it is" he
chuckled. ION the one hand they
say we're making too much money,
and on the other they say our Sc
curities aren't safe for Kansas peo-
pie to invest their money in. There's
something wrong in their logic
there" Again his clenched fist
descended to the table with a bang.
''The Kansas City Star is not the
public utilities commission of Kan
Sas. Certainly it has right to sug-
gest that lower rates would be in
order, but there is an orderly process
of law by which such a matter can
be Northumberland that is not by
bludgeoning public officials into
making unjust attacks on corpora
TONS"
Refers to ReceiVership
Doherty referred Indignantly to
what he declared were the openly
made plans, about which they
boast" to throw his company into
a receiverShip.
Loose talk" he said. why IL
they did that they would throw
thousands of good people out of
work, and God knows times are
hard enough as it is. They're just
doing that as a threat, but I'm in
the position of the man who's walk
ing along Winding his own busi-
ness when a bully comes along and
tries to push him off the sidewalk.
And I'm simply not going to be
pushed of the sidewalk by the Kan
saS City Star or anybody else"

REVIVE DEAD MAN
Doctors Efforts SAGE fastener

Dugan was fishing and when he
stood up in his canoe to light a
cigaret, he slipped and fell. He
struck his head on the bottom of
the canoe which overturned.
Il felt myself going down, down,
and down, and though I've been a
swimmer ever since was 4, I was
too stunned to make much of a
struggle" he said.
Then felt my face and body
immersed in the slime at the bot
tom of the water. Then all was
black mud and I went out just
like you'd punch out an electric
switch.
IT DON'T know another thing
Il that happened until I had
that sensation hours later that I
was floating in the air, and that
some one wanted me to do some
thing, some one I couldn't dis
appoint.
Then feeling terribly groggy, I
opened my eyes after hearing
again and again my mothers call.
There was such pleading in her
voice I felt I had to come back"
Dugan was immersed in the
muddy waters for more than five
minutes before he was rescued.
Physicians kept working on him,
never giving up hope that he could
be revived. They used every de-
vice available. Hypodermic injec-
tons were made in an effort to
jolt the heart into action. A
pulmotor was used to pump the
mud and water out of his lungs.
and his body was wrapped in blan-
kets, lined with hot water bottles.

CHICAGO, July 8.-Judge Thomas
Green said today that despite the
danger Of international complica-
tionS he will inSiStson a six months
Jail sentence for Adolfo Dominguez,
acting Mexican consul m Chicago.
"Dominguez openly defied me by
interrupting my court" Judge Green
said. when I warned him, he
dared me to put him in jail, so I
did. No foreign official can dictate
to my court.
ut will take an order from Pres
ident Hoover to persuade me to
withdraw my citation of contempt"
Claim Sentence Unjust
Friends and attorneys of the coun-
sui, however, said that Dominguez
had been sentenced unjustly. They
obtained his freedom on habeas
corpus writ Tuesday night after he
had spent only a few hours in Jail.
Judge Brown never allowed the
consul time to defend himself said
T. Russell Baker, attorney for
Dominguez. "The judge began
TRADE against the conSurs Office
and when Dominguez demonstrated,
he was ordered thrown in jail"
Apology Is Likely
Danger of complications in the
case caused government officials in
Washington, Mexico City, Chicago
and the Illinois state Capitol at
Springfield to confer. 1t was con-
Sidered possible that the United
States government may be asked
to apologize for the incident.
Dominguez was cited for contempt
shortly after he appeared in Judge
Green's court to attend the trial of
several Mexican youths charged
with vagrancy and disorderly con-
duct.

the defendant didn't expect him to
believe that and then Mrs. Sterritt
poured out her tale of woe, which,
by the way, the judge heard as the
whole truth.
MY husband worked half day
and then started on vacation in
Owen county," she said. He spent
his earnings for gasoline. When he
found out it cost a dime to take
his daughter swimming he wouldn't
do it.

them both to go and he threw it at
me and started home. He said he
would go swimming in Indianapolis

half but admitted the bus line was
near his home.

money on the car, don't your" Roch-
ford demanded. You're so busy
doing nothing that you can't even
