The miner was asked if he lived

At this point one of the reporters
present reminded Mr.. Pomfret that
there was an accident at the Kin
loch MiIc back in 1880. The miner
went on to tell about it. Forty-nine
men we're killed. The accident was
caused because the mine was not
rock-6usted, the company did not
want to waste time or money pro-
tecting the miners lives.
Showing how the capitalist press
lies, Mr.. Pomfret told of an incident
in connection with the shooting of
picketS at the Kinloch Mine. They
(the capitalist reporters came to
Kinloch after the shooting and I
made statement representing the
Kinloch miners. In the papers the
next day it was just the opposite

and sometimes I eat some kind of

He told how one of his little girls
was driven off the picket line by a
deputy sheriff. When asked if he
would return to work, he answered:

special pispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, March 23.-Every
now and then some one succeeds in
breaking out of the Rockville Jail, but
the distinction of being the first to
break" in is believed to belong to Wal
ter Benson, 20-year-old Potomac dis
tr1ct youth.
The young man walked into police
headquarters here this morning and
asked to be locked up, explaining that
he had been drinking was drowsy and
thought jail about the best place for
him. It was suggested that If he got
in he might be kept there longer than
he wished, but he replied that he was
not interested when he got out so long
as he was let in.
Chief of Police Alive A. Monkey, how
ever, told the young man to go home
and he left the Office. A few minutes
later young Benson appeared at the jail
and informed the turnkey, Joseph Mox-
ley. that the chief of police had sent
him over to be locked up. He was &C
cordingly admitted and when searched
a bottle with considerable liquor in it
was found in his pocket.
Later in the day it was learned that
Benson's father, William H. Benson, APP
peared before Justice of the Peace John
Jones in Rockville and swore out war
rant charging his son with stealing an
automobile from him. In view of that
charge 1t was regarded likely that the
youth will be detained in Jail longer
than was at first thought.
