ATHENS, Ohio, March %
QN.S.). - Guerilla warfare
was reported to have broken
out today at the Lick Run
mine of the Manhattan Coal
Company in the Hooking Val
ley strike area.
It was reported that a mine
guard patrolling the Lick Run
pit fired 40 rounds from sub
machine gun at what he believed
to be an ambushed sniper.
Is Third Outbreak
The Lick Run mine is located
in the heavily wooded area Of
the Hooking Valley. The mine
has not been picketed as a result
of the strike over wages which
has tied up the entire district
officials said.
\ Today's reported sniping was
the third outright defiance of
Gov. George Whits's order for a
cessation of lawlesSness in the
coal fields where 1000 men are
on strike demanding higher
wages and recognition of their
union.

lowing the dynamiting of a rail

RECONCILIATION
HOPED FOR
BY CAROL
Private Car of King Picks Up
Princess at Border; Their
Meeting Friendly One

BUCHAREST, March %
(I.N.S.). - The illness of
Crown Prince Michael OF
Rumania today brought his
parents together in a friendly
atmosphere for the first time
in years.
Princess Helen, divorced
wife of King Carol, returned
to Bucharest this afternoon
from Italy and lost no time in
rushing to the bedside Of her
son in Carols Palace.
The King met her in the sick
room, and for some minutes they
chatted amicably, in sharp con-
traSt to their last meeting, when
Carol virtually baniShed his for
mer wife from Rumania, depriv.
ing her of rayol privileges be-
cause of her staunch refusal to
consent to a reconciliation.
Has Grippe Attack
Prince Michael is suffering
from a severe attack Of grippe.
Unable to bring Helen back to
Bucharest by any other means,
Carol appealed to her through an
emissary to return from Florence
to take care Of her son. She
Immediately complied and made
a triumphal entry into the CAPT.
tai.
Princess Helen arrived in Bu-
charest in King Carols private
car, which had been sent to the
Rumanian frontier to meet her
train. The car was profuSely
decorated with flowers, and an
aide-de-camp of the King, who
met her at the station, placed in
her arms a huge bouquet Of lilies.
Bowing low before her, he es-
corted the princess to a royal
limousine in which she drove to
the Dowager Queen Marie's Cot
roceni Palace. She then imme-
diately proceeded to Carols pal
ace to see her son.
Will Discuss Situation
Moved by Carols preparations,
obviously made in a renewed at
tempt to induce her to agree to
reconciliation, Princess Helen
consented to discuss the situation
with Carol and hopes were held
out that an agreement might be
reached.
When she arrived at Carols
palace, Prince Michael was asleep.
She awoke the lad with kisses
and embraces as Carol stood by
the bedside.
While I1elen's return was
primarily for the purpose Of see
ing her son, it was known that
General Condescu, Carols foreign
emiSsary, had made it clear to
her that the state Of Rumania'S
finances made her stay abroad
embarrassing.
Carol has purposely deferred
his coronation in the hope Helen
will agree to notification of their
divorce and take her place on
the Rumanian throne.

For neary three weeks the 10000 officers and men will be free to enjoy the visit, which will be more warmly well comed by the men because it comes after weeks of maneuvers that took them to sea and virtual war duty out on the Pacific and because elaborate recreational and entertainment pro- grams have been arranged for them here. No formal welcoming cere- monies were planned for the day. No salutes were fired, because this is not the annual official visit of the fleet. Monday the eighteen admiras will ex- change official calls Shoreside Navy, Army and Marine Corps and civic leaders at Twelfth Naval District headquarters.

ORGANIZED OPERATION FOR
 ALASKA REINDEER INDUSTRY

WASHINGTON, April IA new industry under the sun may be said to have taken definite form on a basis sof organized operation this week when Secretary Wilbur ordered two veteran field representatives of the Depart ment of the Interior to Alaska to as- ssist the local officials in the actual ap- nlication of carefully-worked-o -out plan for reindeer management.
 These men are Charles R. Trow- lbridge and Howard M. Gilman, both whom long have been associated with problems of the public domain and the indigenous American. They will be followed soon by an expert in range management who will remain permanently in Alaska.
 The problem is an unusual one. It is that of assisting the Governor of Alaska, who has administrative juris- ,diction over the natives deer, in bringing order out of the chaos of a venture which originated 40 years ago na missionary's attempt to help an isolated people and has developed into a livestock industry that covers an area as big as Texas. It is an in- dustry built on the reindeer, an an- imal which never before formed the basis for such an enterprise. It is located in the north and west of Alaska, within and near the Arctic Circle, where for months the sun for gets to rise in the winter and to set in the summer. It is based upon Arctic moss buried under the snow in lieu of corn or hay, and the instinct of an animal of the North for uncov- Aering it and fiourishing upon it.
 Eskimos, who are native born citi- zens of the United States, own a large portion of the reindeer. Aside from food, the reindeer offer the prospect of leash crop" to the Es- kimo. The plans are to assist the na- tives by proper guidance in the de- velopment of the industry to avoid the pitfalls of the early cattle indus try, and to see that every orphan re- ceives his correct certificate of own- ership in the reindeer associations which have been formed.
 This formal reorganization of the c-I lowed a years study by a special committee set up by Secretary Will bur and headed by Senator John B. Kendrick, of Wyoming, who brought

BEARS DO NOT ALWAYS
 ATTACK HUMAN BEINGS
(Stroller's Weekly.A

\StrollerS Weckly.3
 Billy Kirkpatrick of Ketchumstock had demonstration last fall that not all bears are querulous, and that once in a while grizzly may be sweet and amiable in temperament. While mush- ing his dogs over the old telegraph trail they became entangled in the wire, ending up in astruggling, fight ing heap of canine 'savagery. Billy ran around his sled and attempted to straighten the team out, which he found no small job, as dogs, wire, harness and sled was in a tangled heap.
 Hearing a slight noise behind him, he whirled, and, standing over the man and dog team was a large griz- zly, peering down at them, as if inn pelled by curiosity. So close was the bear that he lowered over Kirkpatrick like giant among pigmies.
 Kirkpatrick jerked out his 45-re- volver and held it aimed at the bears head and the impasse lasted for what he said seemed hours to him. He stood like a stone and the bear like; wise, his nose wrinkling and twitch- ing as he scented the man and dogs.
 After what seemed an eternity to Kirkpatrick the bear stepped back a few feet and, dropping to all fours, walked back to his caribou kill, growl- ing softly to himself as if he were dissatisfied over something but did not know what to do about it.
 Kirkpatrick believes the bear was in good humor that day, or else his angel protected him. To stand within a foot or so of a grizzly without being molested is an experience few can cite. He believes the bear was well fed and not used to human beings and that he was merely curious as to what was going on.
 Another Man Has Similar Experience
 In the Fortymile district one day last summer a well-known local man had a similar experience, and also with a grizzly. Rushing along the trail, with two horses, he ran into a grizzly unexpectedly and quite close. The horses became badly frightened and to prevent their bolting the man grabbed them by their bits and held on. The bear walked up to the strug- gling trio amid, raising up over the man and horses, peered uncertainty at the struggle, evidently wondering what was being pulled off. He was so close that the man could have touched him, and yet after few min utes' inspection he dropped to his feet and waddled off. He was also fat and we'll fed and evidently had never before seen human being.
 These two cases are exceptional, as more often when the bear gets that close he is coming, and coming fast, if run onto unexpectedly. Most ami mals, if they have the time, will run from human scent, but there are ex- captions. And these exceptions are not able to tell of their experiences afterward.
