BRITAIN FIGHTS TO AVERT TIE-UP OF INDUSTRIES Coal Strike ‘Gravest Situation Since War,’ Government Declares. PARLIAMENT IS CALLED LONDON, April 2.—The first flurry of violence in the great coal strike "of England’s 1,200,000 miners was re. ported this afternoon from the Dowlais Valley, where strikers, watching the removal of ponies from the pits, stoned the sheds, breaking windows. At Gymney a crowd of striking miners marched on the Pont Lottyn colliery, and forced the officials to cease manning the pumps with emergency crews. The strike was reported to be fast spreading to the mines In Scotland. The enginemen of the Lanarkshire mines voted to abide by the orders of the miners’ federation to cease work. LONDON, April 2—Although the United Kingdom trembles upon the brink of a tremendous industrial upheaval which is considered inevitable if the nation_wide coal strike lasts, the general public displayed remarkable calmness on this, the second day of the tie-up which saw practically all of the 1,200,000 miners of England idle. The spirit of “muddling through somehow" was apparent on all sides but eve. in conservative quarters it was concedes! that this crisis is more dangerous than any of this kind the kingdom has ' passed through. The government, from King George down, is giving every indication that it is thoroughly aware of the gravity of the situation. The king has called Parliament to convene for Monday, eight days sooner than the date originally set, because “a state of emergency exists.’' The government's official declaration, moreover, described the situation as the ’gravr est since the declaration of war in 1914,” Land a special cabinet committee has been ■fcMJolnted to deal with the crisis.

PRESS SHARPLY DIVIDE O ON STRIKE. The British press Is sharply divided in Ua dlscu ision of the strike and its mean iog. Th e general view, however, seems to be tl lat it is a battle for the nationaliza' ion of the mines. The Morning Post charges labor with a deliber ate plet to bring about a revolution. The D iily Herald, labor's official otgan, on the other hand, brands It as a lockout, laying the operators’ terminated the conti'acts with the unions. In support .of jthe continuation of the wage scale whjch the owners want to reduce, the Herald publishes figures showing the profits uAade by the owners during the war. “In the! fat years of production for destruction,” says the paper, “the employers drew from the industry total profits exceeding the prewar capital of the in- , dustry by 25,000.000 pounds (.normally l $126.000.'")

Further investigation into the methods employed by the Indiana University School of Medicine in dealing with dogs for dissection in its classes reveals: 1. That dogs for the use of the college have been collected off the streets of Indianapolis as well as In other cities of the state. 2. That dogs have been subjected to experiments in the realm of surgery as well as to operations the purpose of which was instruction of students. 3. That more than a year ago a protest was made to Dr. C. P. Emerson, dean of the college, and assurances were given by the dean that there would be no more of the practices which have recently been established as oceuring in the last few months. Only a few weeks ago a negro who lives in the northwest part of Indianapolis was engaged in securing dogs for the use of the college. His practice was to pick up dogs on the streets and take them to his home where he kept them for a period before delivering the>m to the college. There Is a wide variation In regard to the number of dogs he is reported to have delivered to the college. It has been admitted, however, by an attachee of the college that at least fifteen dogs were obtained through this negro. IX A MANNER GAVE PROTECTION’. In thus procuring dogs, the college was, In a measure, protected from any criticism that might come from persons who had lost pet dogs. The animals were not delivered at once to the college

KU-KLUX BRANDS NEGRO AND FREES HIM AS WARNING Decrees Flogging at Trial Before Letters Are Seared on Forehead. DALLAS, Texas, April 2.—The Klu Klux Klan held midnight court again in the South last night. Symbols of the order were burned In fiery acid upon the forehead of Alex Johnson, negro, “tried” with a rope around bis neck, amid the lonely hills of Dallas County and “found guilty” of intimacy with a white woman. Between twenty-five and thirty lashes were applied to Johnson’* naked back and later beaten and bleeding, the letters "K. K. K.” burned la his forehead as a “warning to other negroes not to associate with white women,” he was turned loose upon the steps of the fashionable hotel, where his alleged offense was committed and commanded to tell other negro employes there of his fate. With the “solemn” fifteen standing In a circle about him, he was made to take oath he would never associate with another white woman. GIVEN CHOICE OF OATH OR DEATH. He was given the choice between thf* oath and death. The trial was conducted by men In white masks—all were pros;erously dressed. \ Newspaper reporters, "kidnaped” by a ruse and taken to the scene of ' court” to write the story for the world, and commanded to “chronicle faithfully what you se and hear, that all may be wanted.’* witnessed the affair, using a fallen log as a “press table.” “Trial" was held under a great elm tree, the “courtroom" lighted only by the dim flare of a flashlight, which played upon the scared face of the black. The wind rustling leaves was the only sound and at times made the negro's frightened, almost Inaudible answers, unintelligible. SLIPPED QUIETLY OCT OF TOWN. Members of the “Klan” slipped the negro out of town so quietly that the authorities did v not know anything was going on. After dumping him out at the hotel, they disbanded —as mysteriously as they gathered. Johnson, the negro “tried.” whipped and branded, recently was arrested in a white woman's room at the hotel. Because of the character of the woman sufficient evidence was not obtainable to press a charge comprising intimacy against him. A charge of ‘‘vagrancy’’ was filed agßinst him, however, and bt bad been released on bond only a few hours before he was seized by the marked clansmen.

HYGEIAat theSOLITO

By O. HENRY

IF YOU are knowing in the chronicles of the ring you will recall to mind an event In the early n'neties when, for a minute and sundry odd seconds, a champion and a “wouldbe” faced each other on the alien side of an international river. So brief a conflict had rarely imposed upon the fair promise of true sport. The reporters made what they could of It. but. divested of padding, the action was sadly fugac'ous. The champion merely smote his victim, turned his back upon him, remarking, “I know what I done to dat stiff,” and extended an arm like a ship’s mast for his glove to be removed. Which accounts for a trainload of ex- ' tremely disgusted gentlemen in an uproar of fancy vests and neckwear being spilled from their Pullmans in San Antonio In the early morning following the fight. Which also partly accounts for the unhappy predicament in which "Cricket” McGuire, found himself as he tumbled from his' car and sat upon the depot platform. torn by a spasm of that hollow!, racking cough so familiar to San Antonian ears. At that time, n the uncertain light of dawn, that way passed Curtis Raidler. the Nueces County cattleman—may his shadow never measure ua- ' der six feet r two. j

Gatch that the dogs received by tne college “are generally emaciated and in a condition that snows they are no one’s pets.” It has also keen admitted by persons connected with the college that the arrangements by which this negro gathered dogs for the college were terminated “because both the negro and the college got scared.” The college authorities have steadfastly refused to reveal the name of thl negro or to make any authoritative statement as to the number of dogs he delivered or as to where he obtained them. Dr. Gateh admitted that no permanent record of the dogs was made by the college and said arrangements for them were made through Robert E. Neff, registrar of the college. Mr. Neff declared that none of the dogs received were known to have come from Indianapolis since this negro ceased to furnish them. He admitted, however, the possibility that some of the dogs received through this negro have been dogs that were stolen In Indianapolis. CHANCE REMARK OF STUDENT ENLIGHTENING. The chance remark of an attendant, bent upon convincing a visitor to the kennel who obtained admission by the use of a search warrant reveals experimental surgery as practiced at the college.

GIPSY BOOSTS AMERICANISM, LEADS CHEER English Evangelist Proposes Demonstration for City’s Patriotic Program.

Calling on the citizens of Indianapolis to unite in a rousing cheer for Americanization day. Gipsy Smith, the English evangelist, last night led a splendid demonstration for Americanism which swept over the entire tabernacle. On seeing a delegation of soldiers from Ft. Benjamin Harison march into the tabernacle and take seats In front of him, the evangelist cried out: “I want a big rousing cheer for the Americanization day program which will be carried out in this tabernacle Saturday night." The big audience united In one of the biggest and heartiest demonstrations of Gipsy Smith s campaign for recruits for better lives in this city and in Indiana. The evangelist announced that there wtl! be no revival services today as Saturday is "rest day’’ and also because the tabernacle will be used for the big pa irlotle demonstration tonight. At the close of the service the choir leader Instructed the choir to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner," and Gipsy Smith and members of the audience stood at attention as the choir in song observed Americanization day. CAMPAIGN TO ENTER FINAL WEEK. The evangelist called attention to th Sunday revival program and the begin nlng of the catnpaigu on next Monday night. At 2:30 o'clock Sunday aftrenoon Gipsy Smith will address a woman’s only meeting at the tabernacle and at the same hour the Rev. Dr. Frederic! Taylor of the First Baptist Church wl!) preach to men only at the Roberts Park M. E. Church. On Sunday night th( regular Sunday night service will b< held at the Tabernacle for both men and women. “I call attention to the meeting for women Sunday afternoon," said the evangelist. ”If there is any donbt that your wife or sweetheart will not get to come here Sunday afternoon, then men. get an early Sunday dinner, take them for a walk and when you get them in front of one of these tabernacle doors, push them in and then you go to the Roberts Park Church and hear Dr. Taylor. If we can capture the women for Christ, we shall capture the homes.” The evangelist stated that he could not realize that last night marked the close of the third week of the campaign and that only one more week remained. “Wonderful things have happened in the first three weeks of my stay in your city,” he said. "There are still greater things in store for us The entire city Is thinking and talking of Jesus. Thousands upon tens of thousands of people in your State are dally thinking and talking about Jesus and are (Continued on Page Three.) Many Offer to Pay Judge Lindsey’s Fine DENVER.

SEE FAILURE OF LATE PLANS TO CREATE STRIFE Republican Politicians Fall Short in Efforts to Start Democratic Fight. LISTS COMPLETE TODAY Approach of the end of the period for filing declarations of candidacy in the city primary election found desperate efforts being made by some Republicans to create a fight in the Democratic ranks, the object being to keep the Democrats from participating in the Republican primary mayoralty race against Mr. Thomas C. Howe, former president of Butler college, representing the city administration. Late today indications were that their efforts were to fall. Only the three candidates for the Democratic nomination for mayor have filed. It also appeared that the Republican mayoralty column would contain only the four names. SEVEN ASPIRANTS FOR MAYORALTY. The Democratic mayoralty aspirants In the order of their filing are Wtllet A. Judson, 362 South Illinois street; John W. Losh, 53S Coffey street, and Boyd M. Ralston, 2320 Talbott avenue.

2 COAL SELLERS GET MORE TIME Judge Collins to Inquire if Capitol Custodian ‘Mad’ at Them. Delay in passing Judgment upon Garland Brown and P. L. Prather, charged with atealing coal, who are employes at the State House under RoaeoC Schultz, custodian of the State Home was caused by Judge Jamea A. Collins of Criminal Court when the Judge con tinued the case on his own motion In or der to hear If Cuatodlan Schultz has been “repaid for the loas of the coal” and also to determine If Schultz has "no bad feelings' 1 against the two men, as the defendants claim. The State late yesterday In Criminal Court completed ite evidence against the two men and the defendants took the stand in their own behulf. The defense was that they were delivering coal for Custodian Schultz, who hftd bought a carload of coal last December, and which he sold to the janitors of the Stare House. Brown and Prather attempted to show that they were under the Influence of “white mule” and didn't know Just what they were doing. Officers making the nr rest testified Brown and Prather were not “intoxicated” at the time they wer* ar rested after dumping the coal in front of a coal office, where the Btate showed that arrangements had been made to sell it for $lB, The evidence introduced by the State showed that Brown and Prather were using a State truck at the time they were arrested. Brown and Prather contended that “Mr Schultz had no ill feeling” toward them and that the money loss to him has been made good. Judge Collins then took the opportunity to delay passing Judgment until Schultz could be brought into court to determine the degree of his personal temperature at this time toward two men who claim they are still employed at the Statehouse. Henry Kramer, said to be an employe at the State-house, took the stand and testifled regarding the “good reputation” of Brown and Prather. It is also under stood Mr. Kramer has been active around the courthouse In the "interest” of Pra ther and Brown. As the eases now stand, Brown and Prather will not know their fate until i Custodian Schultz can he brought Into court to determine if his feelings are nice and sweet toward the men who are convicted in the city court of stealing coal. In the city court Brown and Prather were fined $1 and costs and sentenced to forty days, Judge Collins stated. The cases against Brown and Prather have been on the Criminal Court docket since Jan. 5, 1921, the records show.

RATS SPRINT FOR BENEFIT OF HUMANITY Interstitial Gland Operations Given New Test at San Quentin Prison. SAN FRANCISCO, April 2.—A race for the human race. Such tnlght be termed the scientific tftst in whimT seven white rats are engaged behind the grim walls of San Quentin Prison Day after day and night after night these whlta rats have been racing in specially constructed cages, eacjr revolution of the; floors of their cages being recorded by the delicate speedometer apparatus Soon the rats will be taken from their cages and will undergo operations through which each will acquire a uc.w gland—an operation similar lu every respect to the Interstitial or goat gland operations which have brought reported rejuvenation to those, of the human race who have risked the operation in search of renewed youth. When the operation Incisions have healed, the seven rats will return to their cages and begin again their race. And in the comparison of their strength and endurance before and after the operation will ths answer to many questions which have arisen in connection with the glandular operations. The rats are running their races in a barren room back of the prison hospital under the watchful eye of Dr. L. L. Stanley, prtr.on physician, who has performed more than 200 gland operations on convicts,. transferring human glands rathetr than monkey and goat glands, us bos been the case with other surgons. Here ure the questions which the remarkable test now under way are expected to answer: 1. Can a rat with an interstitial operation run farther and longer than with out. 2. How long is the newly Installed energy effective? 3. What is the effect upon the rat after the energy begins to wane, if It does wane ? 4. Whether all or what percentage of the rats show beneficial results. The test will also show the results of various types of operations. One or more will receive a singla glandular Insertion. Others will receive the double operation. One will have a portion of a human gland added to his organs, to indicate what difference there is between the human aud the goat gland operations The preliminary tests have been under way for months and the tests following the operations will likewise occupy months and perhaps years.

LAW IS FARCE, CITY GARBAGE PROBLEM SHOWS Reduction Plant Failure Due to Mayor’s Neglect, Facts . Reveal. NO RESTRICTION ’ASKED For more than a year Mayor Charles W. Jewett and his board of sanitary commissioners nave Deen explaining the operation at a loss of the city’s white elephant—the $175,000 garbage reduction plant—by saying that private collectors of garbage took so much of the city’s refuse that there was not enough left for the city’s plant to be run at afproflt, notwithstanding there was an ordinance upon the statute books which would have made It possible to have so crippled the activities of the private collectors that they could not have made seriojis inroads upon the city’s collection.

These facts were brought to light today when it was learned that the board of sanitary commissioners, in a meeting yesterday, had decided to write to four private collectors, holding city licenses, and ask them for lists of the places they collect from. The move was considered preliminary to a movement of the board to Anally awaken and start a drive to eliminate the private collectors. ANTIS BLAMED FOR FAIL BE. Mayor Jewett has Insisted repeatedly that the garbage plant operation was crippled because the anti-administration members of the city council have blocked passage of an ordinance giving the city the exclusive right to collect garbage. However, the council on Feb. 3, 1919, passed art ordinance with such teeth In i* that hud it been enforced many of the prlva.e collectors would have been driven out of business. The measure Is general ordinance No. Bof 1919. It was passed as a substitute for a measure prepared by the city legal department. The legal department ordinance overlooked the fact that there is property right in garbage, while the measure passed does not. lIERE IS THE ORDINANCE. Section 3 of this ordinance reads as follows: “That any person, firm or corporation desiring to collect or remove garbage may, upon payment of fifty dollars ($5000) to the city controller of said city, receive a license from said city controller entitling such person, firm or corporation, to so collect and remove garbage from the time sadl license is Issued until the end of the calendar year, provided that such persone, firm or corporation at the time of making application for such license gives to the city a bond with, surety to be approved by said city controller in the sum of one thou(Contlnued on Page Thirteen.)

COLLEGE DEAN SLAIN IN OFFICE Subordinate Who Had Been Reprimanded Then Ends Own Life. SYRACUSE, N. Y.. April 2.—J. IJerman Wharton, dean of the School of Busl- ! ness Administration of Syracuse University. was shot and killed today by Holmes Beckwith, an Instructor and head of the eligibility Committee of the same school, who then ended his own life with a bullet. The shooting occurred at 9:45 o'clock this morning in one of the rooms of the school of business administration. The theory advanced by Chancellor Day of the university and by Frank Malpass. Onondaga County district attorney, is that Beckwith was discovered by Wharton in the act of committing suicide and that Wharton interfered and was shot in the struggle that followed. Beckwith is said to have been unpopular with university students and, it Is claimed, a petition was being circulated In the student body askiug that no reengagement contract be tendered him for next year. Dr. Wharton was a graduate of Syra I cuse University and had been a mem bar of the university staff several years. | Dr. Beckwith was a bank examiner and | expert in finance and statistics.

Charles, Again ‘King With No Country,’ Seeks Haven

Reported En Route to Switzerland, but He’s Not Wanted There.

PARIS. April 2.—Charles of Hapsburg, once more a “king without a country," having failed utterly in his spectacular attempt to re-establish himself upon the throne of Hungary, was still the center of Interest in Europe today, but his movements were no longer watched with alarm, for all danger of any considerable part of his former subjects recognizing him as their ruler seemed passed. His main concern at the present hour, according to all dispatches, is to hit upon a safe route out of central Europe and a safe place to go to ami stay. Dispatches had it that he was returning to Switzerland, despite reports that the little mountain republic's government considers he has forfeited the right to its hospitality. The East Europe Agency’s Budapest correspondent telegraphs that the ex-monarch, under a Spanish safe conduct and accompanied by two British officers, has left Szombathely, near the Hungarian frontier and le heeding for Switzerland. He has not signed the act of abtUoatien, however, the dispatch added. The Matin's Geneva correspondent says Charles Is expected back there. An early dispatch to Central News from Vienna said the former Emperor's “departure was delayed until this evening, possibly till tomorrow, negotiations regarding his traveling route being still In progress.” It wa net Anally settled, this m-- - -i ; anti*

Noel Dips Into Coal Fund for Another SI,OOO Makes Attorneys/’ Total Fees From Special State Board slljooo. James W. Noel, attorney for the special coal and food commission, today drew another SI,OOO for his services as attorney for the commission. This makes a total of SII,OOO drawn by Mr. Noel for. this service between the time the commission was organized last summer and March 31. The additional sum drawn by Mr. Noel brings the total attorneys' foes paid by the commission during its short extstance up to $18,500. Howard Young, another attorney for the commission, has drawn $7,500 for his services. The attorneys had charge of the commission’s side of the litigation over Its power under the coal commission law. The State treasury has received from the commission approximately $73,000, the amount left over from the money collected “for the administration of the law.” The commission spent a total of about $37,000. The money raised by the commission was obtained from license fees collected from the operators, the Jobbers and the retailers. In addition, the commission collected 1 cent otF each ton of coal mined in the State. This latter fund amounted to nearly SIOO,OOO. The charges made against coal dealers and operators were, of course, passed on to the public. The commission began operating shortly before a break In coal prices began. The charges passed on to the public by the dealers did much to stabalize the market Long before the commission went out of existence the market price of coal dropped far below the price fixed by tbe commission as reasonable.
