In DunmOre's War
Peace reigned again in the noun
tains until 1774, when Indians on the
Ohio stole some horses and white men
murdered Chief Logan's family. The
Ohio Indians gathered an army west of
the river and Governor Dunmore led
his Virginians and some Marylanders
across the mountains. War again!
The SANDY Creek Settlement" that
summer, was composed of about thirty
families-at least five of them
Friends, Frazees and Halls-in Mary
land. These settlers hastily gathered
at the Glade Farms, just across the
line in Virginia, and built Fort Morris,
where they left their women and chill
dren with guard, while most of the
men returned to their farms to harvest
their little crops.
Governor Dunmore marched his
army to the Ohio in two divisions: one,
which he commanded in person-from
Fort Cumberland, over the Braddock
Road; the other, under Colonel Andrew
Lewis, marched west across Virginia
to Point Pleasant at the mouth of the
Kanawha River. Here Colonel Lewis
encamped. The Indians, under the
Shawnee Chief Cornstalk, quietly
crossed the Ohio at night and early on
the morning of October 10th, attacked
the camp of the Virginians. All day
long the battle ragged in the woods, but
when night came on the Indians with

after Cornstalk proposed peace and
Dunmore accepted.
Cornstalk and Logan
Cornstalk was "a man of true nobil-
ity of soul and a brave warrior" He
was true to his treaty with the whites.
In 1777, when an alliance of the In
dams against the settlers of Western
Virginia was proposed, Cornstalk op-
posed it, and, overruled, he went to the
fort at Point Pleasant to warn the
whites. Here he was held as a hostage
and brutally murdered by white men,
Chief Logan, whose family had been
murdered before the war began, re-
fused to make peace. After sending his
famous speech to the Governor of Vir-
ginia, he wandered from tribe to tribe,

resorted to strong drink and was him.

CAL|F0RN|AFARM
WORKERSGATH
Preliminary Steps Taken to
Organize Under One
Union.
Rxtfne Assnciated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, February 81
Preliminaries to the organization OF
100000 California agricultural workers
into a single union began today under
the auspices of the American and State
Federations Of Labor.
At the outset representatives OF the
California federation asked delegates
representing about so farm labor
unions to give up their present systems
and join in a solid front organization.
The individual unions concerned are
composed of about 20 groups with
A. F. of L. charters and about 80 in
dependent unions. Mexicans and Fill
ipinos comprise many of the latter
group at present.
Edward Vandeleur secretary OF the
State federation, asked the 20 A. F.
Of L. affiIiates to surrender their chart
ers in favor of one to be issued covering
all workers involved.
Such union would be the first OF its
kind in any State.
Delegates withheld comment pend
ing full presentation of the plan, al
though some of them raised the ques-
ton of whether such an organization
should have a Federal or an inter-
national charter under the American
federation.
A Federal charter would restrict the
units jurisdiction TO California. An
international charter would give it
authority to extend to other States.
Behind the participating unions lay
q history of more or less unsuccessful
strikes, notably the Walkout of 5000
workers in the Salinas Watsonville
lettuce area last Fall and strike of
several hundred celery pickers in the
Stockton district about the same time.

COLORED OFFICERS
INCREASE IS ASKED
Committee of Washington Church
Federation Also Urges More
Care With Guns.

The Race Relations Committee of the
Washington Federation of Churches
has requested the District Commits
sioners to increase the number Of
colored officers on the police force
and to warn policemen to be more
careful in the use of their service guns
in view Of the fact that policemen
have killed so persons since 1926
while enforcing the law.
The committee pointed out that 40
of the so persons shot to death were
colored, and said that, although the
colored population here is 273 per
cent, the number of colored police
men on the force is only 80 per cent.
With regard to the shootings, the
committee said:
I'VE recognize the difficult situa-
tions in which the officers of the law
are often placed and we commend
many OF them for their bravery in
dealing with and apprehending dam
gerous criminals. On the other hand,
there seem to be some caSeS-all too
many, we think-in which officers OF
the law were too hasty in their use
of force"
The committee asked that officers
be frequently reminded of the regu-
lation ordering 6 at care In the use
of firearms. The communication to
the Commissioners was signed by Rev.

started with Chapman and continued

to throw today against the Giants,

Date of Origin Uncertain,

THE race was originated actually by
a group of high-spirited Liverpool
publicans (broadly, saloonkeepers)
who needed something exciting to DO
one afternoon, and so decided to hold
horse race. Being lively set of
men, they felt naturally it should be
the longest race on record. with as
many rail fences, hedges and creeks
tossed in as could be managed con-
veniently. They felt, too, that good
horse ought TO be able to carry full
grown man, like publican.
The race hasn't been changed much
since then, except that the course has
been fenced in and modified very
slightly and the tone of the pai-
ticipants and spectators improved
somewhat. The King and Queen, for
instance, are expected to be on hand
this Friday.
AS might be expected, nobody seems
to know exactly how old the race is.
This supreme test Of horseflesh, say
some record books, had its inception
in 1889, but the year 1887 is accepted
"officially." SO Fridays race possibly

Manager Bucky Harris and President
Clark Griffith see new hope for base
balls forgotten man"
Charles Solomon, who is called
Buddy, stepped gingerly to the infield
yesterday and partook of his first real
workout since the first couple of days
he was in training camp. He took
his turn in batting practice and, with
all eyes on him, romped at second
base during the course of the two
hour workout.
Ofhand, this might seem to be no
event of Importance, but in the case
OF Myer it became noteworthy. Some
of the tension, for one item, was
leSsened. Until Buddy spat on his
hands yesterday, there was growing
doubt here as to whether he would
be of any value to the club he couldn't
help last year because of poor health.
During the first day of batting
practice two weeks ago, Myer stepped
into the cage and started to bang the
ball. Wide grins spread over the
faces of Harris and Griffith. who are
running the show here. Then, out
of a clear sky, Buddy begged off
practice for a few days because of an
ailment. This sounded like 1886 and
Myer was supposed to have been cured
Day after day went by and still Buddy
was a member of the club in name
only. He could have been bought for
10 cents.
