LANCASTER'S FATE
STUDIED BY JURORS
Two Versions of Clarke SIay-
ing Submitted in Closing
Arguments.

BY the Associated Press
MIAMI, Fla, August 16.-A jury
studied two versions of the death of
Haden Clarke, young writer, as the
murder trial of Capt. w. N. Lancaster,
British flyer, drew toward a close to-
day with final arguments by counsel.
One, presented by the defense, pic
tured Clarke as a suicide who killed
himself because recurrent illness pre-
vented his marriage to Mrs. Jessie M.
Keith Miller, Australian aviatrix, whose
love he won from Lancaster.
The other offered by the prosecution,
sought to show Lancaster killed Clarke
because the writer supplanted him In
the woman's affections.
Defense Counsel James M. Carson
described Lancaster as an unselfiSh,
noble character. the victim of unhappy
circumstance, who stood out far above
the muck, dirt and filth that make
up the background of this trial"
Assistant State Attorneys Henry NJ
Jones and H. L. Enwall called Lancaster
an "over-careful murderer" who killed
because of jealous anger. Only the close
of Carson's argument, the final argu-
ment of State Attorney N. Vernon Haw-
thorne, and the charge of Judge H. F.
Atkinson remained before the case was
to be handed to the jury.
The flyer was charged with first-de-
gree murder Conviction carries the
death penalty unless a recommendation
for mercy is made. Then the sentence
would be life.

WORK OR STARVE
is ULTIMATUM TO
STARVING MINERS

hicago-(F.P. )-"Replying to
your letter of Aug. ~, we would
refer to you one of the oldest
statements of record made on
American soil by one John Smith,
who said: Eye who will not work
shall not eat I consider the
Illinois miners in this category
today"
So writes the sleek and COM
Portable j. M. Dillavou, official
of the Beaverton Coal Corpora
ton, from his Chicago office to
the Midwest College Committee
for Investigation and Relief in the
southern Illinois coal fields.
Continuing, he said; "Misguid-
ed, impractical efforts of unin-
formed people ofttimes magnify
rather than reduce industrial
strife, and your indicated efforts
should be placed in that
category. The wage rate of the
Illinois coal miner is the highest
paid common labor in the United
States today"
AT S. for an 8-hour day, the
scale negotiated by the union
officials but rejected by referen-
dunn vote works out to 62h cents
an hour. But mining has never
been regarded as common labor
because of the great risk to life
and the unhealthful conditions

labor has much more permanent
work, the committee points out.
