DAVIS TO CALL CONFERENCE IN MINE TROUBLE Secretary of Labor Will Direct Attention to 1920 Stipulation. PROVIDES FOR SESSION WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—The Government's first move to prevent a Nationwide coal strike on April I—the calling of a conference between coal operators and miners—will be taken within a daj or two, it was learned officially at the Department of Labor today. Secretary of Labor Davis will call to the attention of the two groups in the present controversy that the bituminous wage award of 1920 stipulated that an interstate joint conference be held prior to April 1, 1922, to discuss any differences chat may exist between employers and,, the workers. Inasmuch as there is no super-organi-zation existing among the operators, it is probable that Secretary Davis will informally call the attention of individual operators to the existing pact between them. Officials were confident that there world be little difficulty in bringing about a conference between the operators and miners. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—Announcement has come from the White House that Tresident Harding had authorized Secretary of Labor Davis to invite coal miners and operators to a conference prior to the expiration of the present wage agreement. The Administration’s decision to intervene in the impending controversy In the coal industry was based upon Mr. Harding's belief that the parties to the existing contract should abide by the clause i pledging them to the conference. It rep- j resents the first move on the part of the j Government to avert a strike in the unionized coal fields as a result of the failure of the miners and operators to j get together. The present wage agreement covering the mine operations in the central competitive field, involving Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and western Pennsylvania, expires on March 31. Under the provisions of the j contract, John L. Lewis, president of the i United Mine Worker’s of America, has l twice invited the operators to send repre- j sentatives to a meeting of the joint scale i committee. The last invitation was sent out less than a week ago, but again met with refusal on the part of the representatives of the operators in the Ohio and western j Pennsylvania fields. The representatives fn the other fields accepted the invitations conditionally. ATTENTION DIRECTED TO INDIANAPOLIS CONFERENCE. Since the convention of the United Mine Workers in Indianapolis it has become j increasingly apparent to the Adininistra- J tion that some action on the part of the ! Government would be necessary to avert ! a strike in the coal industry. From rep- 1 resentatives of the Department of Labor, i the reports were that neither side were disposed to get together on their own vo- j lition. The decision of .Judge Anderson in Indianapolis bearing upon the use of the “check-off" system in the central competitive field and the contract generally is not regarded by the Administration as invalidating the obligation of the par ties concerned to confer in an effort to arrive at some agreement. President Harding has received from the Department of Justice an opinion bearing upon the effect of this decision on any action the Government might take toward bringing the operators and miners together. He is convinced it offers no objections to the course the Government now proposes to pursue. The time of the meting has not been set, but it is presumed that it will be called before the end of March in ample time to give the miners and operators an opportunity to get together. The meeting possibly will take place in Washington. DAVIS AGENT OF GOVERNMENT. President Harding has made Mr. Davis the Government’s agent in dealing with the coai controvery, but possibly will enlist Secretary of Commerce Hoover in the efforts to avoid a break. The hopes of the Administration tre that there would be no strike. For several monlhs- the situation has been followed closely by Mr. Hoover, whose advice on industrial questions is known to be held paramount by the President. The Secretary of Commerce not long ago predicted a break in the coal industry. In the meantime there has been gathered by the Department of Labor and the Department of Commerce adequate information with which to deal with thr controversy. The position of the Administration’s officials long has been that r strike would injure the public interes’ and make imperative interference on that account. Hope that the miners and operators would get together without the efforts of a third agency have- been lost with the miners’ decisions at the Indianapolis convention and the operator's unwillingness to meet them. The last refusal of the operators to meet with the miners followed by the call of the miners’ leaders for a referendum on a strike is understood to have brought about the Administration’s decision.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

ANTHRACITE OWNERS TO MEET MINERS ATLANTIC CITY, N.

STATE TESTS CREDIBILITY OF WITNESS 'Continued From Page One.) “J. H. Hartman and wife* on the Holden Hotel register at Dayton, Ohio, and also the man who signed his name as “J. Herbert Hartman” on a motion asking for a change of venue in this case were one and the same person. Ho also identified various signatures of “F. Francis” and “Frank Howard” as written by the same person. Prosecutor William P. Evans has literally flooded the record with testimony of Francis’ burglary victims. Witness after witness has taken the stand to relate losses following a visit of Franclu to their homes. Some testified they recovered their stolen property at the home of Hartman and others received theH property from the Indianapolis and Louisville police. Dr. Edward H. Katterhenry testified when he returned Feb. 4, 1921 from a trip to Florida, he discovered ills home had been robbed of household goods valued at about SSOO. Francis admitted robbing the Katterhenry home during the doctor’s absence. The doctor said he had treated Frank Moore and Lura Moore (Mr. and Mrs. Francis) for about seven months prior to his trip to Florida and had told both he was going to Florida. PHYSICIAN GIVES LIST OF PLUNDER. He testified that three rugs, an Indian blanket, a bedspread, three sheets, four pillows, towels and several other of the stolen articles were found at the Hartman home. He valued the goods re’overed from the Hattman home at about 8200. Towels with the initial "K” on them wee identified as part of his property which he recovered at the Hartman home. He said he knew Francis ns | Frank Moore. While at the Hartman home selecting his property, he said , Hartman was willing for him to take all i property belonging to the doctor and also ! advised Dr. Katterhenry to bring Mrs. Katterhenry to the Hartman home so she might identify goods which the doctor was not sure he had in his home. At a later date Mrs. Katterhenry did go to the Hartman home to identify other goods. He testified Hartman told him the goods the doctor identified as his own were among the things Hartman had i bought from Frank Moore. When Francis was on the stand he tes- ) tilled Dr. Katterhenry had purchased

whisky from Francis. Dr. Katterhenry said Francis at one time in his office gave him a bottie of whisky. Mr. Holmes asked, “The only liquor you received from Francis was one bottle?” “I think so. Memory not sure,’’ the doctor replied. Holmes asked, “Is St not so that you regularly bought whisky from Francis?” DENIES BI TING LIQUOR FROM FRANCIS. “T did not,” Dr. Katerhenry replied. “Did you ever buy whisky from Francis?" Holmes asked. Dr. Katterhenry answered, “Not to my recollection.” Another one of Francis’ victims, Harry Lowe, 3526 Evergreen avenue, testified his home was robbed and that between S3OO and S4OO worth of goods were stolen, including twenty-six pieces of silver, two dozen silk shirts, a bedsprend, a box of socks and other goods. He testified some of his property was recovered by the police. E. L. Montani, a professional musician, testified that his home was entered andamong the goods stolen was a saxophone valued at $195. This Is the saxophone which 'Francis testified Hartman had sold for SBS. Wearing the $595 fur coat which Francis admitted he stole from her home, Mrs. Kay W. Itobinson, 2451 Parkway boulevard, testified as to the goods stolen from her home, including an electric grill, a fur coat, gloves and other goods. She said she recovered a rug, a comfort and a silver knife at the home of Hartman. She recovered her fur coat In Louisville. i This is the coat which Francis said he gave Brent Overstreet, a Louisville lawyer, as surety for his fee. HOME ROBBER HER ABSENCE. Mrs. Charles W. Smalley, 3029 Park avenue, testified her home was robbed Jan. 15, 1921, In her absence in California and blankets, rings and other property were taken. She recovered some property from the Indianapolis police, she testified. j On cross-examination, Mr. Inman ; asked, “The beautiful coat you have on, | was it stolen?” | “No,” she answered. “I had It with i me." ; Mr. Inman asked, “May I ask you what the coat you are wearing cost?” I “It cost $1,350” she answered. ) The spectators gasped at the staggering figure and Judge Bain rapped for order. “I was just curious to know how much it cost,” said Mr. Inman. “I hope your curosity is satisfied,” snapped Prosecutor Evans. The State also introduced as a witness Otto Graff, Jeweler and watchmaker, 44 North Delaware street, who testified in May of last year, J. Herbert Hartman and Fred Hartman sold him two diamond rings for one of which he paid $75 and $125 for the other. He maintained each of the Hartmans had a diamond. He said he paid the Hartmans with a check for S2OO drawn on the Marion County State Bank. Francis hac. previously testified regarding the Hartmans receiving S2OO for the diamonds. SAYS HE KNEW FRANCIS AS “DAVIS.” Dr. D. -H. Fosler with offices in the Hume-Mansur building, testified he knew Francis under the name of Harry Davis and had treated “Baby Davis.” Francis previously had given such testimony. Dr. Fosler stated Hartman brought “Davis” to him. Mrs. Bertha Hartz. associated with H. P. Wassofi Company as a fur buyer* teatlfled two fur coats had been stores at the store, one under the name' of Mrs. Laura Hartman and the other bj a Miss

Riley room of the Ciaypool Hotel. An item of foremost interest will be the “Genesis of Military Music,” a series of tableaus, accompanied by music of the periods pictured, depicting the origin and development of military music from the time of the Pharohs of Egypt to George M. Cohan's “Over There” of 1918. The first group of tableaus will represent the warriors of Egypt, Home and

Griswold. Detective Herbert Fletcher | testified of the two coats being recovered , at the store, where they had been placed i In storage. I Detective Jpss MeMYirtry and William Mellon, a police officer, testified regard- . ing the recovery of a Ilex top Buick tour- j ing car which Francis stated he aban- I iloned on Foil Crick boulevard in a va- j cant lot after Hartman had wrecked the car. ) Charles A. Huff, owner of the Huff- : Buick Sales Company and A1 Eastman, employe of the Huff-Buick company, testified to the condition of the Rex-top Buick car after the police had turned the car over to the company prior to sending it to Louisville. Francis said he stole this car from Brent Arnold at Louisville Prosecutor Evans has been relentless In his efforts in Introducing testimony tending to show Hartman knew Francis under the name of Francis months before i the spring primary last year. DEFENSE SEEKS TO BREAK DOWN STORY. It is the theory of the defense Hart | man did not know Francis ns Francis * until Francis was arrested and jailed at Louisville. While the “confessing burglar” was on the stand Mr. Inman tried in many ways to get Francis to admit tfiat Hartman knew him as Frank Moore and not as Francis. Frauds in aisled he was "Francis” to Hartman and also Hartmar Urew Francis under several assumed names. Mrs. Emma Mullen Scott, now of 128 West Vermont street, but formerly of 1123 River avenue, testified she had known Francis only as Frank Francis for several years and she was acquainted with the first Mrs. Francis. She testified Francis brought a trunk to her home last July and left it there. She testified Hartman made two visits to her home. On Hartman’s first visit to her home, Mrs. Scott said she was not at home, but her daughter, Mrs. Opni Adkins, received from Hartman a note bearing the signature of Lura Francis, asking Hartman be given a saxophone and a shotgun which was in the trunk Francis left there. SAYS HARTMAN TOOK THE COAT. She testified Hartman made another visit to her home and obtained a fur coat. She stated he did not have a note that time, but introduced himself. She declared on cross-examination that she did not know that Francis was a ourg!ar until he was arrested in Louisville. She admitted that she had purchased a fur coat from the divorced wife of Francis and recently the coat was taken away from her by the police because it was said to be stolen property. She denied knowledge the coat was stolen property. The next witness was Mrs. Opal Adkins, 1121 River avenue, a daughter of Mrs. Scott, who testified that she knew Francis as Francis for several years. She emphatically staled the note Hartman brought to her mother's home bore the signature of Lura Francis. She refused to change her testimony under severe cross-examination by counsel for Hartman. She stated when the polieo arrived for the trunk, her mother came over to her houst and fainted after tolling her the police were there. Mrs. Adkins maintained the note from Mrs. Francis contained nothing about a fur coat, but mentioned the saxophone and the shotgun. After Mrs. Scott had retired from the witness stand, she sank to the floor of the courtroom, falling into the arms of i her daughter. Mrs. Scott was escorted i to the office of the prosecuting attorney I where she remained until strong enough i to leave the building. ASSERTS HARTMAN j KNEW “FRANCIS." Additional evidence tending to show Hartman did know Francis under the name of Francis, was introduced when O. D. Greggor, inspector in charge of the automobile identification bureau of the ; Dayton, Ohio, police department, and O. j E. Gross, an officer of tlint deparimenf, I declared positively J. Herbert Hartman | appeared intake municipal court at Dny- | ton April 20, 1921, when Francis was arraigned under the name of Frankie Francis, alias Frank Moore, charged with vehicle taking. Mr. Greggor testified he saw Hartman with other counsel of Francis on the day Francis waived arraignment and was bound over to the grand jury in Dayton. Both Mr. Greggor and Officer Gross positively identified the defendant in the action now in progress in the Marlon i Criminal Court as the same Hartman who I appeared with Francis’ counsel in Dayton. The Statekagaln introduced H. S. Patterson, manager of the Holden Hotel at Dayton, who testified Frafleis, under the name of Francis and Mrs. Francis, and J. 11. Hartman and wife, ail checked out of his hotel at the same time, April 20, 1921. NURSE SAYS HARTMAN VISITED FRANCIS HOME. The State also has introduced evidence tending to corroborate the evidence of Francis Hartman visited Francis’ apartment on North Delaware street several times. Mrs. Jennie Corbett, a trained nurse, who attended Mrs. Lura Francis after the birth of the Francis baby, tes-

titled J. Herbert Hartman on one occasion brought a note to Mrs. Francis 1 while she was confined to her bed and Mrs. Francis (who avas known then to the nurse as Mrs. Frank Moore) gave Hartman a diamond ring. She testified Hartman asked her if there was whisky in the house and when being informed thnt there was, told her to “bury it in r es In the basement.” She said she did . instructed. She was not positive whe,. 'r It was whisky or wine she buried. Mrs. Corbett told of Francis having eluded Detective Wlfltan* Itugenstein by escaping from the rear of the house while the detective was waiting for Francis. She also corroborated the testimony of Franets Hartman, supervised and arraigned for tnoviffg Francis’ household goods to the residence of Hartman. She also testified H.'rtmnn. on one of his visits, told her to “pull down the blinds because the police were watching the house.” Mrs. Corbett testified thnt she arranged to buy a quilt for $lO from Mrs. Moore. She said she paid Mr. Hartman the $lO for the quilt on the Saturday morning that Hartman supervised the moving of the household goods of Francis to the Hartman home. Mrs. Corbett testified she gave the quilt to a detective after the exposure.against Francis and Hurtmao was made > ibl|e In ttie papers. Mrs. Corbett testified Hartman, while the goods were being moved from Francis' flat, said Moore owed him some money and that he (Hartman) was going to keep enough furniture to cover the loan and would store the balance in the basement of the Hartman home. The State has introduced evidence tend , Ing to substantiate the testimony of Francis he went to the polls in the Ninth precinct of the Fifteenth ward on primary day and voted side by side with J. Herbert Hartman under the name of F. Francis of 805 North Mount street, which is Hartman's home address. SAYS MEN ARRIVED AT POLLS TOGETHER. Wayne G. Newton, 2803 North Believlew place, a city fireman, who was ! clerk at the polls on prim ary day at 20® j North Addison street, in the Ninth Rreclnrt of the Fifteenth Ward, testified i Hartman and Francis arrived together at the polls, entered the voting place the same time and Francis, with Hartman ; nearby, gave hia name as F. Francis, 305 North Mount street. Records were produced to show Newton, as clerk, had written both names down on (lie voting list and Hnrtman’e name was Just above that of F. Francis. The addresses of Francis and Hartman were the same. Mr. Newton identified a picture of Francis by saying It looked like the j man who wag with Hartman on primary day.

BRITAIN HOLDS UP ACTION ON IRISH MEASURE Awaits Result of Election Before Passage of Free State Bill. FEARS REPUDIATION LONDON, Feb. 25.—The British government plans to delay final passage of the bill finally constituting the Irish free state until after the Irish election, it was learned in Downing street today. The bill already has passed in the House on first and second readings. It was pointed out if the Republicans win the election, the present bill probably will be useless as the Republicans are opposed to it. With Eamonu De Valera back in power in Ireland it would be necessary for the British cabinet to open new negotiations entirely, in the opinion of British officials. Events in Ireland in the last week make Britain unwilling to put the Irish free 'stute bill on the statute books because of tYe loss of prestige If It Is repudiated by i the Irish election. j It Is probable, however, Britain will | continue to retire troops from Ireland j and to turn over Irish administrative af- \ fairs to the provisional government at Dublin. Arthur Griffith, president of the Daii Elreann (Sinn Fein parliament) and E. G. Duggan, formerly chief liaison officer of the Irish republican army, conferred at length with Colonial Secretary W Inston Churchill, who is chairmau of the government committee working out the | details of the Irish settlemen. Griffith j and Duggan were among the signers of I the Anglo-Irish peace treaty. All the ; signers were Invited to Loudon to explain the agreement reached by the hostile factions In the Ard Fheis, but j only two of them attended. Churchill said it was important the government should have a clear under standing with the Sinn Fela on Irish matters. It is likely Griffith will remain in London until next week, so he can confer with Premier Lloyd George when the premier returns from France British officials says they were anxious to avoid a hitch with the Irish in view of the pr< gress mode in working out a settlement. Vhey declared if Griffith is as- > sured the Ard Fheis agreement will as- ! gist the provisional government to establish itself firmly the British government will no*, oppose postponement of the Irish ele. tion for three months. Griffith and Churchill were closeted for three hours. They will meet again tomorrow. Neither would Issue a statement. Later tn the day Griffith eonI ferred at the war office on the evacuation of British troops from Ireland.-. Mrs. John H. Masters Dies From Pneumonia Mrs. John H.
