DOPE EDEN WILL REEL! 11l TIMES

Questions to ‘Miracle Girl’ May Be Placed in Palace Box. A man may ask a question but It takes a woman to answer it. Hope Eden, known as “The Miracle Girl,” has been answering questions for years. Next week she will not only answer questions publicly on the tage of The Palace, formerly Loew’u State, but she will "pound" a typewriter in the editorial room of The Indianapolis Times. Miss Eden will answer sensible questions placed In "The Times Question Box” in the lobby of the theater. “The Miracle Girl” will become a ; member of The Times’ staff beginning next Tuesday. Her answers will be identified by the initials of the person asking the question. No ones name will be published. Thousands of questions have been answered in this manner by Miss Eden during he rengagements in other cities. She claims no supernatural power, but, presents her strange exhibition of “mind reading" and question answering as a form of popular vaudeville entertainment. At no time will she meet any one personally at The Times office, 'because of the inconvenience of attempting to handle the crowds.

EVERYTONSTATE MINES PRODUCED COSTAROOT {37 Maintainence of National Guard Big Item in Staunton Coal Extraction Venture. 1,754 TONS WERE MINED Actual Production Cost Was $8.79 a Ton—McCray Defends Move. Financial reports from James A. Cooper, Federal receiver for the RowIn nd-Powers Colleries Company, of Shaunton, reaching Governor McCray today, show that the cost of digging during the coal strike was $8.79 a ton, for which the State paid the Colleries Company the sum of $4 per ton. A loss of $4.79 per ton accrues to the company for which it is asking no reparation or indemnity. Seventeen hundred, fifty-four and one-half tons of coal were mined under State protection. The total cost of operating the mines as set forth by the mining company was $15,421.48. Ameteur statisticians have figured that, with the national guard costing approximately $50,000, the average cost of coal per ton was $37.35, of which $4.79 was borne by i the mining company and $32.56 by the State. Guardsmen Expensive While the real work of mining the coal was done b ythe Rowland-Powers Company, the heaviest toll of expense has rested with the State, due to the expenditure necessitated by the presence of national guardsmen for protection of the property and volunteer miners. In a letter from Mr. Cooper it Is set forth that the stockholders, bond-hold-ers and creditors of the company Joined in hearty support of the loss. It is pointed out a great deal of this apparent loss would have accrued to the company at any time they reopened their mines as the idleness of the mines had wrought havoc with the equipment. McCray Defends Action The cost of maintaining the national guardsmen in Clay County to protect the miners will reach approximately $50,000 present reports indicate. This expenditure, the Governor points out, was made in the same spirit in which a city council appropriates a certain sum yearly for the maintenance of a police department for the protection of Ha citizens. The Governor also sets forth that the expenditure was warranted on the grounds that "it established the superiority of law and order over lawlessness and showed to the citizens of the State that workmen who desired to earn their living might do so without interference from others and that a small percentage of workmen could not dictate to the citizens of the commonwealth and keep from them the necessities of life.”

DRIFTING? Cox Sees War By United Prese CLEVELAND, Sept. 23.—Failure of America to stand by allies was blamed for the present British-Turk situation by James M.

“Daughertyism in Full Flower”

The New York World today leads its front page with the story of the arrest on a contempt of court charge of C. V. Sanders, editor of the Memphis Press, then editorially picks up the gauntlet and sails in in his behalf. “G. V. Sanders, editor of the Memphis Press,” says the World in its first page introduction to the story, “must answer a contempt charge in the United States district court at Memphis because he declared the anti-strike injunctions issued by -fudge Wilkerson in Chicago and Judge J. W. Ross in Memphis violated the constitution. “The article for which Judge Ross believes Mr. Sanders in contempt of court was entitled ‘The King Forbids.’ It was written after Judge Ross found Jacob Cohen, editor of the Labor Review, guilt of contempt, sentenced him to six months in jail and fined him $1,000.” Editorially the World then said, under the caption, “Daughertyism :” “No better example of applied Daughertyism has come to light than the ease against G. V. Sanders, editor of the Memphis Press, who is held under SI,OOO bail, to be tried for contempt by Federal Judge J. W. Ross following the publication of an article which criticised the judge for imposiug a heavy fine and jail

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, SEPT. 23, 1922

LEAVES! What Are They? John F. Walker, superintendent of street cleaning, called "nervy” by the board of sanitary commissioners because he suggested to citizens they put grass and leaves in containers in alleys for the garbage collectors, pondered anew means of adding the puzzled properly owner today. Walker pointed out citizens cannot turn refuse because of the city ordinance prohibiting bonfires. "The sanitary board said leaves and grass are not garbage,” said Walker. “Well, leaves is leaves, but let ’em lie in the container in the alley long enough and they'll turn into garbage all right.”

LACK OF FUNDS HINDERS PROGRAM FORM SCHOOLS

Commissioners Fear to Use Small Margin Left Before Bonded Limit Reached. Were it not for the question of money the housing situation of the public schools could bo solved within n year. After e: o nt months’ delay the commissioners adopted a tentative building program sufficiently comprehensive to solve the problem of caring for elementary pupils on a full-time basis in sanitary, modern buildings and do away with the seventy portables and temporary buildings. But here arises the question of cost Asa matter of fact, school officials look upon the building program as something they hope rather than expect to carry out. Debt Limit Near The school city is within about $2,500,000 of its constitutional bonded debt limit and differ as they do about other matters, school authorities agree it would be unwise to cut this margin to a point where it would be impossible to take tare of emergency matters. The new program calls for six eight classroom, one sixteen classroom and one shop building. In addition to this, plans already are under way for the erection of a building to cost about $95,000 at the Potter Fresh Air School. Were this program carried out it would result in satisfactory’ quarters j being provided for the greater part of • the 3,500 or more school children now : ’being housed in portables and other temporary buildings. * In the past, eight classroom buildings have cost about $200,000 each, fm this basis the present building program would call for the expenditure of not less than $1,700,000, which would reduce the margin of the legal bonded debt limit to n dangcroui point. Adolph Emhardt, chairman of the committee on buildings .ind grounds, who Is largely responsible for the new building program, fram y admitted] that it may not be possible to carry it j out. In event the board determines to go ahead with a building program regardless of the constitutiona' debt limit, it has one card left. It can make a direct tax levy for the construction of specified schools. The old board was prepared to do this. New buildings provided for in the program are as fqllows: No. 30, 39 N. Eider Ave., eight classrooms; No. 62, Wallace and E. Tenth Sts., eight classroom; No. 76, College Ave. and Thirtieth St., sixteen classrooms: No. 70, Central Ave. and Forty-Sixth St., eight classrooms; No. 75, Fourteenth St. and Belle Vieu FI., eight classrooms. No. 38, Winter and Bloyd Aves.. eight classrooms; No. 67, 3617 W. Walnut St., eight classrooms; No. 25, Missouri and Thirteenth Sts., two four-room additions. Shop building at Sixteenth and Yandes Sts.

sentence on another editor who had expressed an opinion concerning the railroad strike. “This opinion, set forth by Editor Jacob Cohen of the Labor Review, was that strike breakers were ‘dirty scabs’ and ‘industrial scavengers.’ Judge Ross found it in violation of his version of the Chicago injunction and sent Cohen to jail for six months, fining him SI,OOO. Thereupon Mr. Sanders printed an editorial entitled ‘The King Forbids,’ which questioned the right of the courts to abridge freedom of speech or of the press. For that editorial Mr. Sanders faces trial, and if any other editor has the hardihood to continue the battle for constitutional rights he had best make ready to be cited in turn. “Judge Ross has simply proved Mr. Sanders’ contention for him. There is to he no discussion of the merits of the strike, no adverse comment on court decisions in connection with it. Mr. Daugherty has forbidden it, the courts under his influence has forbidden it. No king could have suspended a fundamental law more arbitrarily or with less warrant. In Memphis, an probably elsewhere, tlie administration of justice has come to such a pass under the inspired leadership of tlie attorney general that a citizen can be jailed and fined no only for taking sides in an industrial dispute, but for championing another citizen’s right to do so. Adherence to the constitution is treason against Daugherty.”

DAUGHERTY INJUNCTION IS CONTINUED IN EFFECT BY FEDERAL COURT ORDER Bitter Battle Brings Victory to Side of Government in Its Effort to Prevent Unlawful Acts by Striking Railroad Shopmen. UNION ANNOUNCES WILL TAKE APPEAL Two Slight Modifications of Writ Authorize Use of Funds for Sick Benefits and Right to Conduct Organization Meetings. By United Prees • CHICAGO, Sept. 23.—The Daugherty injunction was in forc today. After a bitter battle of more than one month the FederaJ Court issued a temporary injunction. Attorneys for the unions declared they would appeal the case. (iranting of the injunction upholds the restraining order that! has been in effect more than one month. Strike Actually Forbidden Railroad shopmen, under the injuncton, are practically for*, bidden from carrying on the strike which has been in effect sined July 1. The government must now call witnesses to substantiate th* charges of interfering with interstate commerce and the transportation of the mails to make the injunction permanent. Lnder the injunction thp shopmen are enjoined from partieipating in action which would further the strike.

Findings of Judge Wilkerson Judge Wilkerson said: “The defendants will not be permitted, upon the record here, to deny responsibility for these unlawful acts. They will not be permitted to continue acts which, even though they may be peaceable and lawful in themselves, it has been demonstrated, are only part of a program of unlawful conduct and are done for the accomplishment -of an unlawful purpose. It hardly need be said that this conclusion is upon,, the record as it now IN TRAGEDY

rtands and leaves the defendants free to present their contention again, if and when a different case is made of the pleadings and proofs.” Judge Wilkerson said that the injunction might have been issued under the Sherman anti-trust law but that it was issued under the Clayton act forbidding interference with the constitutional rights of the public. Another hearing will be necessary to make the injunction permanent. Two Corrections Made The injunction as granted was practically the same as the original restraining order. Only two corrections were made. One allow -.? the unions to use their funds for sick Benefits and cases of necessity. The other permits meetings of union men when there is no "conspiracy to obstruct interstate commerce." On Sept. 11, the Government asked for a temporary restraining order which was granted For the past three weeks Attorney General Daugherty and his assistants have presented arguments including hundreds of affidavits from all sections of the country. The fight for the injunction ended today with the granting of the temporary injunction. Witnesses Must Testify If the Government desfres to make the injunction permanent, they must call scores of witnesses to signed affidavits to uphold their case. In granting the injunction Judge Wilkerson said: “The right of the United States to maintain a bill like this under its general equity, jurisdiction is no longer open to debate. “In the Debs case the court held that the National Government is charged with keeping the highways of Interstate Commerce, including railroads, free from obstruction. Holding that such obstruction is a public nuisance and sustaining the power of a court of equity to take the jurisdiction in such cases by an inform*--tion filed by the attorney general, th# court said: ‘ “Indeed it may be affirmed that i* no well considered case has the powcf of the court of equity to interfere bp injunction in cases of public nuisancM been denied.’ ”
