 GET FIVE TRIALS
If First One Doesn't Find Him Guilty Then Four More Are Ready for Harry F. Powers

Clarkesburg, w. Va, Nov D.
 UP)-Harry r. Powers, alleged matrimonial agency "bluebeard," will be tried first on the charge of staying Mrs Dorothy Pressler Lemke of Worcester, Mass, one of five alleged victims.

The jury meets tomorrow Morris said if Powers escapes the death penalty he will be tried on the charge of killing Mrs Asta Buick Flicker of Park Ridge, III, and her three children.
 Powers wooed the women through a matrimonial agency, the state contends, posing as a we'll to-dO architect. He lured them to Clarksburg with promises of mar riage, it is charged, and killed them and buried them near his garage at Quiet Dell. No indict- ments will be sought against Pow CTS wife, Mrs Lucia Powers or his sister, Miss Eva Belle Strother authorities said.

THOUSANDS OF STRIKERS GOING
 BACK TO WORK
End of the Great Lawrence Trouble Seems in View
 Has Cost 10000 Workers $2,5OO,OO0 in PayrOllS

Lawrence. Mass, Nov 9-(UP)- The end of Lawrence's five-week textile strike, which has cost 20,- 900 operatives approximately $2,-
 500, 900 in payrolls, appeared im- minent today.
 Thousands of strikers returned voluntarily to the mills this morIi- ing, prepared to resume work un- der the 10 per cent wage cut plan that precipitated the walkout. Just how many expressed their willingness to go back could not be ascertained, an hour after the
 mills opened, but reliable estimates indicated that more than 70 per cent of the Arlington mills 4,0OO employees and 500 of the Aver mills 1,600 operatives had returned Hundreds more were reported at the Wood and Washington mills, l operated, like the Aver mill, by the American Woolen Company. No report was available concerning the Pacific mills.
 Two hundred policemen, includ- ing 25 mounted men, were on duty in the mill zones this morning but no serious trouble developed des- pite the fact that large throngs of strikers gathered to heckle those going to work.
 Reports that college students had assumed leadership of some of the strike groups appeared to be substantiated when two youths describing themselves as college students were arrested at the Wood mill.
 One said he was William Penn Montgomery, 20, of Cambridge, a student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, (Tech records list a William Penn Montgomery, Jr, of Washington, D. C., who is a fourth-year man and an honor student.)
 The other described himself as Donald McEuen Smith, 22, of Methuen, Bates college student. Both were charged with intimi- dation and lettering.
 Of the approximately 5000 strik- CTS who reportedly returned to the Arlington mills, there was work for only 1,50O, but it was said the others would be taken back as soon as conditions warranted. About half the 500 said to have returned to the Aver mill were I.giYen work

A group of holders of first-trust notes

voted last night to proceed with incor-
poration of the investors under the
name Of "Hay-Adams House. Inc"
This is to act to protect their invest
mentS.
At meeting of approximately 200
noteholders, Walter B. Guy local at
torney, read proposed charter for in

already had been turned over to him in
exchange for stock in the corporation,

meeting to take preliminary steps
toward incorporation OF the noteholders.
The corporation, he said, probably would
be formed within a week. The incor-
porators, besides Mr.. Guy, are to include
ward F. Colladay.

Under an agreement signed by a
number of noteholderS, it was stipulated
that $500 900 of notes must be turned
in before Mr.. Guy could proceed to in
corporate the body. Mr.. Guy estimates
that, together with subscriptions made
last night, he now has authority to pro-
coed.

appointment of receivers for the Hay

Of trustees under the leasehold deed OF
