We will be married Monday. Your father will
be gone, so 4ae can't object"
Marie had to grab the hedge for support
How horribly thrilling! She recognized the
voice of their minister's son. Through the
hedge she could see him bending over the fair
young Miss Goodhart, who lived next door.
And they were going to be married! She
knew no one ever suspected such thing. The
couple slowly got up and moved away. Wen

Florence Pratt, Marie wondered. She finally
decided they were going to confide in her and
she would help them to arrange the wedding.
She would be the only one they would tell.
Suddenly Marie's hands went to her burning
face in shame. What had she been thinking
about? Here she had been deliberately listen

She was glad NO one was at home, so she

But how could she ever wait till Monday?
And why did they keep it secret? Why did

done something she shouldn't. She had listened

So Hunk and Chuck and Paul had been

must be somthing else In the house that they

MIDDLESBORO, KY, April O.
A Bell county business man has
sided with eastern college students
in their protest of treatment re-
ceived during an attempted inves-
tigation of the coal mining region in
this district.
H. r. Giles, city commissioner and
prominent merchant, denounced
Walter B. Smith, prosecuting at
torney, for his examination of the
students at the state line and the
courthouse here.
Giles said he was on Cumberland
in when the student bus was
and the students ordered out
by Smith 80 that we can see what
these things look like"
Using rocks as breastworks, men
behind them we're armed with
enough big guns, pistols and am
munition to have battled success
fully a whole army of thugs" the
commissioner said.
IF that gathering of around 1000
hecklers and ruffians from three
counties-including many of the
worst characters, who had been dep
utized, filled with liquor and armed
to the teeth, constituted law and
order and Kentucky bravery and
chivalry, then I don't know what
rank cowardice and lawlessneSs is. -
Giles charged a deputy, John
Wilson, cursed and struck a boy
student who attempted to recover
the notes the deputy had snatched
from a girl member of the delega-
ton.

$4,000 QUIT WORK
IN MIDWEST MINES
Hope for Agreement Still
Retained in Illinois and
Indiana.

By United Press
CHICAGO, April .2.-Quiet reigned
over large share of the nations
coal fields today-the quiet of stilled
machinery and idle men.
Wage disagreements have thrown
$4,000 men Oh tot work in Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia.
And in Kentucky a long standing
dispute grew more bitter.
The traditional April l holiday
for union workers, celebrating in
auguration of the eight-hour day,
ushered in widespread pessimism
over most of the mining territory,
with the exception of Pennsylvania.
Illinois union heads and operators
prepared for the fifth week of ne
gotiation for new wage contract.
The Illinois shutdown was oc-
casioned by failure to agree on the
basis of compensation for 41,000
refused a reduction from the old
union workers, who thus far have
scale of $6.10 a day.
Out In Indiana
Indiana shaft mines were affected
similarly, but unlike Illinois own
ers, Indiana operators contemplated
continuing production with nom
union workers. Indiana block and
strip mines will operate on the old
scale.
Union representatives claimed U.s.
900 men we're on strike in the Ohio
and West Virginia fields, where
operators announced a reduction
which union miners refused to &C
cept. A number of mines in this
territory already had closed and
conditions in some districts we're re-
ported acute.
Hope was held out, however, both
in the strike districts and the ILL
nois-Indiana territory, where the
conditions was described as merely
a shutdown, that further negotia-
tionS between unions and operators
would bring satisfactory settle
ment.
Fear Kentucky Strife
Harlan count, KY, scene of bitter
violence, waited tensely for the next
move in the strife between warning
miners and owners.
Special interest was attached to

dents from Commonwealth college,

vestigation of conditions and relief
of starving miners.
Other students with similar pur-
poses and a party led by Novelist

P0RUS EARTH BLAMED
InfiItratiOn of Water Is

NAPLES, April 1.-Two thousand
men, women and children whose
homes caved in as the town of
Santa Stefano sank from a hilltop
to oblivion in an underground cav
ern, lived in tent city today.
They hurriedly left their sinking
homes, took all the household goods
and other possessions they could
carry and migrated into the tent
town set up by troops dispatched
to the region.
Although the first indications of
the fate of the town came suddeh-
ly with the unexpected cracking of
numerous houses, the inhabitants
were evacuated in safety.
It was believed that infiltration of
water into the porous ground on
which Santa Stefano was built
cause the formation of huge cav
ern directly beneath the town. There
appeared little hope that much OF
the town would be left standing.
A number of houses in Leonina
street were the first to go. They be-
gan TO crumble and crash suddenly
There were no casualties.
The destruction spread to other
parts of the town. Soon there
scarcely was a residence left inhab-
liable.
The residents were thrown into
momentary panic, but soon realized
that the process of sinking was so
slow that they could escape with
safety.
Premier Benito Mussolini sent
orders to the project to do every
thing possible for the residents. He
ordered dispatch of troops, food,
medicines, and field hospitals to the
scene.
The town is about fifty miles
from Casino, in Terra di Lavor
province, and about halfway be-
tween Rome and Naples.
Experts believed that the original
cavern under the town, now en-
larged by the inf1litration of water
for many years, might have been
dug out after the Roman epoch to
extract tufa, substance used ex-
tensively as building material in
many districts around Rome.
