‘AMAZON ARMY’ ARRESTS BEGIN IN COAL FIELD i . Between 500 and 600 '..embers to Be Served With Warrants. JAIL CAPACITY SMALL • FRANKLIN, Kas., Dec. 16.—Backed by the steel bayonets and old-fashioned car airy sabres of State troopers, the law began today to exact its penalty for the rioting in the Kansas coal fields. • Sheriff Milt Gould and his deputies at noon began serving between 500 and 600 warrants on members of the “Amazon Army," in this district, the stronghold of the military women marchers. -The new jail, recently built here, will ht>ld but sixty women. Sheriff Gould slated, however, that the arrests today \Oi:l no more than fill the jail. Additional quarters for prisoners will be ready bj the time he serves the remainder of the Warrants. 'Quiet reigned throughout the district. Übder protection of the troops, many mines which were closed down by the Amazon marchers in their three-day “offensive’’ were reported working again. STRIKERS SHIT OFF litN IN SHAFT. The first brush between strikers and guardsmen occurred at 8:30 o'clock. Eight strikers swept down on mine No. 51 of the Central Coal and Coke Company, a mile east of Ringo. and shut off the fan which supplied air to the workers in the shaft. The men inside the shaft were able to escape. Guardsmen from Kingo rode to the scene and with drawn shbres dispersed the strikers. No arrests were made, however. ’ This first official offensive against feminine routers w ho quickly dispersed when tfoops arrived, was made srfwe critical with reopening of all mines whose workers were mobbed off the Job by the women marchers. ”Ali mines in the southern Kansas field that were working before the women’s red pepper, anti-work crusade, opened with a greater personnel than before. Van A. Bittner, representative of International President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers, announced. WARNS TROOPERS NOT TO START LOVE AFFAIR. So full of possible complications did the situation become that Colonel Kowin f&sued a strict ultimatum against tne troopers starting love affairs with the jpung women. - "We are here for business, not on a social spree.’’ Rowan said. “All further developments in the coal fields today were enveloped in more mystery than a musical comedy although cpunty authorities claimed to know the identity of some for which warrants are being issued. Atitude of the “rump’’ miners and the demobilized Amazonians early today continued peaceful, giving the military occupation the atmosphere of mimic warfare. Crowds gathered around the soldiers with friendly overtures. A few more women who were in the crowds today laughed and flirted unhesitatingly with the khakied and sabred troopers.

RE-ELECTION OF HOW AT ASSURED PITTSBURG, Kan., Dec. 10.—The reelection of Alexander Howat, imprisoned leader of the Kansas coal miners, to the presidency of the district was assured today. With two-thirds of the ballots cast at Tuesday’s election counted. Howat was reported to be a 9$ per cent choice of the miners. August Dorchy, imprisoned flee pres'dent, and other officers of the Howat administration, likewise were receiving heavy majorities, it was stated at mine union headquarters. Reputed Swindler Arrested in Texas DALLAS, Texas. Dec. 16.—,T. Frank Lilly, New York broker, who police declare is wanted there for a million dollar swindle, was arrested here today.

FIRE LOSS FOR YEAR TO SHOW BIG DECREASE (Continued From Page One.) population. This year the average wifi be near 9. CAMPAIGN EFFECT EXTENDS THROUGH STATE. State Fire Marshal Newman T. Miller declared that the Indianapolis campaign is having a remarkable effect upon the rest of the State, cities in all directions taking tip the work with splendid results. Fire Chief John C. Loucks spoke of the remarkable aid to the fire department which the crusade has been and Battalion Chief John J. O’Brien, appointee of Mayor-elect Samuel Lewis Shank for fire chief after Jan. 2, pledged the aid of the department under him to continue to cooperate with Mr. Jordan's committee. “Indianapolis can save $1,000,000 a year in Insurance premiums if the people will begin to form habits of carefulness instead of carelessness,’’ said Mr. Jordan. Three mistaken notions must be combatted, he said. They are: 1. That there is something mysterious about fires and that fire loss is a necessary evil. Os the fires in 1920 95 per cent were preventable. 2. That fire loss is borne by the Insurance companies. Insurance premium payers bear fire losses. 3. That the fire department should shoulder the entire responsibility for curtailment of fire loss and that the only satisfactory way to decrease fire loss is to increase efficiency and size of the fire department. People seem**'! to have grown more earless as the fire department was Increased. THREE COMMITTEES TO HE NAMED. Mr. Jordon was granted permission to name three committees and Mr. Miller, Ernest L. Kingston, appointee for chairman of the board of public safety under Mr. Shank; Chief O'Brien and Mrs. A. T. Fleming, president of the Seventh District Federation of Women’s Clubs, were named to assist him in the selections. These committees are to do the following work: 1. Gather Information In regard to State laws and city ordinances covering “individual liability for fires due to carelessness and neglect,” and to prepare such a bill for introduction at the next session of the Legislature. 2. Formulate plans for the most thorough spring clean-up the city ever has had, clean up vacant lots by neighborhood organizations, plant flowers in vacant lots and promote a city-wide scheme of beautification through planting of flowers, shrubbery, trees, etc. 3. Give consideration to amendments to city fire protection and prevention ordinances to cover changes such as permitting bonfires on written authority from the chief of fire prevention and making more rigid laws in reference to construction and maintenance of flues. Some spectacular stunt to keep the crusade before the people will be staged every month, Mr. Jordan said. Awaits Trial for Neglect of Child “If there is anything which contributes to child neglect, it is drunkenness on the part of a father.” Judge Frank J. Lahr declared today in ordering Ira Bowman. 806 Maxwell street, to jail to await trial on a charge of child neglect. Juvenile court authorities said that Bowman has been given several chances In the past but has failed to keep faith with the court. “It is unconstitutional to drink intoxicating liquors these days,” Judge Lahr remarked.
