UNION TO FIGHT MEETING BAN ATJICKNELL Miners Will Go in Court to Ask Removal of Injunction. Deciding to fight what they regard as a legal “gag” placed on their meetings at Its source, officials of the United Mine Workers of America will go into the superior court of Judge Linn D. Hay, March 25, and urge that a temporary injunction forbidding union meetings in the Bicknell coal area be lifted, it was learned today.

Attorneys for the union in Indiana’s district 11 are preparing arguments against the injunction obtained by D. Logsdon, receiver for the Knox Consolidated Coal Company, which will aver that Logsdon’s allegations of vandictive language and the stirring up of strife at the meetings against mine operators are untrue a.id that the injunction is not in keeping with the right of “free speech.” Seek Permanent Injunction It is believed that if Judge Hay grants a permanent injunction that an appeal to higher courts will be taken, and if necessity requires, the case will be taken to federal court on the grounds that the constitutional right of free speech has been abridged. Logsdon’s application for a temporary injunction alleged that men employed in the mines of the company he represents, former union miners, were shot at from ambush. He further alleged that threats vere made against the men who went to work at a $5 a day wage scale in topen meetings held in the Bicknell mine district. Decision so Fight In granting the temporary restraining order it was set out that the men employed in "he Knox mines are satisfied with their wage scale and should not be interfered with in earning their wages. The decision to fight the Logsdon injunction in the court of its inception was reached following a series of conferences Saturday and Sunday between union officials and attorneys.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

$8,000,000 TO BE GOAL FOR CHURCH DRIVE Disciples of Christ Office’ Here Announces Plans for Campaign. Plans for the $8,000,000 pension fund drive of the Disciples of Christ, which begins early next fall, were announced at the fund’s central office here today. The fund has been organized to make adequate provision for ministers of the church. It will assure old age and disability incomes, with benefits for the widow and minor children. A fund board of trustees, recently selected and announced today, will have charge of the fund raising work. Included on the board are Samuel Ashby, Thomas C. Howe, Mrs. William F. Rothenburger and William A. Shullenberger of Indianapolis. Nation Is Zoned The nation has been divided into zones, and each church will have a fund raising committee. The actual drive will not begin until after the international convention of the church in Seattle next August. Under plan of the fund, ministers will be eligible for retirement at the age of 65. They will receive pensions equivalent to half of their average salary since ordination, with a minimum of S6OO a year. The widow of a minister would receive half of the annuity to which her husband would have been entitled, and an annuity of SIOO would be provided for each child under 18. Is Self Perpetuating When the initial reserve fund has been raised, the pension fund would be self perpetuating by means of assessments. The individual church would pay the equivalent of 8 per cent of its minister’s salary for his membership in the fund. The minister would pay 2% per cent. Executive offices of the fund committee are located in the Chamber of Commerce building.

G-r-r Darling! Lamb Turns Lion, Beats Up Sweetie and Wins Wife.

By United Press CHICAGO, March 11. The meek eventually may inherit the earth, but Francis Nesel didn’t want to wait that long so he turned caveman and won a wife. Francis, 25, mild mannered and quiet, had a date Saturday night with Florence Golde, who likes her amusements modernistic. Florence arrived after considerable persuading with her sister, Mrs. John Russell, whose husband had been helping Francis while away the hours as they waited on the woman to get ready. “I won’t have any fun tonight,” Florence said as they walked into the apartment, “Francis is too quiet.” “Too quiet, eh?” Francis growled, “well try this,” and flinging her against the wall. Francis followed with a pair of snappy uppercuts to her jaw and finished off the bout with a couple of slashes with his pen knife. Then he picked her up and took her to a hospital. “Oh, how I love him now,” Florence said through bandages today, “I just liked him before. We’ll be married today.” Francis didn’t say no.

SENATE PROBES LAND CLAIMS IN CALIFORNIA Charge Thousands of Acres Near Los Angeles Are Fraudulently Held. By Times Special WASHINGTON, March 11.— Charges that hundreds of thousands of acres of land in southern California, including parts of the city of Los Angeles, are fraudulently held, will be investigated during the recess of congress by three members of the senate public lands committee. For the past four years a group of homesteaders in southern California have been asking investigation of their claim to a part of the Irvine ranch in Orange county, California. Recently the charges have been extended to include five or six large tracts of land between San Diego and Los Angeles, reaching within the limits of the latter city. The charges of fraud grew out of old Mexican land grants. When California became part of the United States, the Mexican government ceded large areas to the government of the United States as public land. Other large areas were held privately under claim of grant from the Mexican government. Some of these private claims were afterward patented by the United States. It is charged now, among other things, that the surveys made to secure these patents included much larger areas than were included in the original grants. In 1905, some 11D men and women filed homestead claims on parts of Lomas de Santiago Rancho, first having examined the old records and believing the lands they claimed, were not part of the original grant. It is they who first asked an investigation both as to their claims and as to alleged unfair treatment since on the part of land office and department of justice officials. Hundreds of millions of dollars would be involved should the committee decide that present owners of the large tracts do not have clear title to them. The Panama Canal Zone is a military reservation and is administered by the war department.

Tut, Bad Man! This is the story of a young man who took his work seriously. He was very serious when he aimed a pistol at Miss Golda Brannenburg, 1455 North New Jersey street, Saturday night, and demanded her money. Miss Brannenburg, however, refused to be serious. "Set here! Don’t try to kid me or I’ll box your ears,” she said. No sense of humor came to the young man’s rescue, and he walked rapidly away in consternation. The holdup attempt occurred at Fourteenth and New Jersey streets.

LAW CLUTCHES SIREN OF U. S. DRYJLEUTHS Lady of Many-Colored Haiil Must Face Charge of Contempt. Bn United t rest WASHIJ GTON, March 11.—Redheaded Ki ty Costello, special prohibition ajent who east fear Into the heart cf Washington and Baltimore bootleggers, herself is tangled in the law. It is but a contempt of court procedure she faces but other developments, the least of which is that when arrested Miss Costello had black hair, may in the opinion of those familiar with the case, bring the affair into some prominence. Specifically, Miss Costello will face Judge William C. Coleman in the United States district court at Baltimore today on a contempt of court warrant sworn to by court attaches after she repeatedly had refused to appear against, two alleged dry law violators In whose arrest she was instrumental. They are Clarence Morseberger and William Cecil. John Hill, the latter’s attorney, told the Baltimore court Thursday when the case was scheduled. Miss Costello kicked the subjeona server down the steps of her apartment house here. Saturday night she was arrested by United States marshals. John F. J. Herbert, dry administrator, told the court Miss Costello’s connection with the department was severed last Thursday. No reason was given. It has been learned from Baltimore she was engaged up until her arrest Saturday night in investigating a number of places where whisky is sold. One of the places she investigated is said to be frequented by members of congress. Whether Miss Costello’s severed connections with the prohibition bureau was a result of her refusal to appear in court could not be learned. It was learned, however, her hair has changed color six -times since her entrance into prohibit ion circles. Originally Miss Costello was a blonde. It is supposed she used the change of head dress as a disguise in her work.
