- Glittering jewels and bril-
liant evening dresses worn by
titled and socially prominent
women at the Cannes casino
frightened a lioness so badly she
jumped through the roof of her
cage to spring on internationally
known society folk.
This was the explanation az
vanced today by casino officials
and the animal trainer in charge
Of the lioness and three lions.
The trainer said that only n
spotlight, which blinded the
lioness, prevented the beast from
jumping on the men and women,
who encircled her cage.
The incident occurred in a
restaurant adjoining the casino.
The guests were terrified to see
the licness spring like a cat to
the top of the cage, and force her
way through the bars.
Several women tainted. Some
costumes were torn. But some
spectators were more calm and
told the orchestra, directed by
Billy Arnold of Paterson, N. j.,
to play as loudly as possible.
The trainer and his woman as
sistant got the lionesS under con-
troll with a fire hose and a lasso.
Among the prominent people in
the restaurant we're Lord and
Lady Mountbatten, Mrs. Paul
Dubonnet (the former Jean
NASH, Mrs. Harry Brown of New
York, Mrs. Wooley Hart, Lady
oxford and Asquith, Mrs. Rob-
ert Plaisance of Washington,

A score Of students came to

to adopt laboratory method of
studying the social sciences"
Greeted at Line

incidents Of the expedition.
w. B. Smith, county attorney of
Bell county, and mob greeted us
at the state line" Hall said, land
the intimidation began at that
time"
Smith asked Hall if he believed
in God" said Miss Curtis.
Hall replied he could not speak
for the whole bus. Smith asked us
to go back and we refused"
Miss Curtis said the entire party
then was escorted to the county
seat where there was an impromptu
meeting in the courthouse at which
she complained Colonel Patterson,
an attorney for the mine operators,
had made a provocative speech to
the effect that:
I'VE can not have communism in
this state and our rivers will run red
with blood before we allow it,"
She said that in reply to ques-
lions, County Attorney Smith told
the students:

Hall told the senators. He referred
to miX-breeds and played on reli-
gious prejudices by emphasizing the
Jewish names of some of our
Students
Carritt, n British citizen but a
Columbia graduate, said that he had
been hit on the jaw by Bell coun-
ty deputy named Stacy when he
went to the aid of Miss Curtis,
from whom Smith, it was charged,
was attempting to seize a letter.
Garritt said the letter, which be-
longed to Smith, referred to the
students as "the rah rah elements
of communism.
Minis said he had warned Ted
Kreech, deputy from Harlan
county, that the students would re-
turn with a United States marshal
to enforce their right to free use
of the interstate highway, and that
Kreech replied:
When we went to war, my cap
tain said, When you see a German,
draw bead on him like you would
a United States marshall"
The meeting today was informal
