ARREST THREAT HALTED CHARITY TO HUNGRY MEN Evarts (Ky.) Grocer Faced Jail for Feeding Miners. This is the second of a series on condl* tions In the Harlan county tKy.) mine strike rone, where terror conditions have prevailed for months. It is written bv John Moutoux, a staff writer of the Knoxville (Tenn.) News-Sentinel, a Scrlni's-Howard newspaper, barred from the courtroom because of an editorial in his newspaper destiny with the verdict in a murder trial in tbe ( district. BY JOHN T. MOUTOUX Times Staff Correspondent , FRANKFORT, Ky., Jan. 6.—For twelve years Mr. and Mrs. Harry Applemau have been operating a general merchandising store at the little town of Evarts in Harlan county. It was to Evarts that coal miners flocked and took their families last spring when they were fired for joining the union. Their only source of income suddenly cut off, the miners lived on the little that aid committees would bring in from adjoining counties. Testifying before former Governor Flem Sampson’s commission, investigating Harlan county conditions, was Mrs. Harry Appleman, 38-year-old mother of four children. She was born in Poland, came to America when a child, was educated in Virginia, and later naturalized. ‘'Did you and your husband distribute a carload of flour here?” she was asked by one of the commissioners. Advertised Free Flour A—We did. Q—Will you file this circular and make it part of yoifr deposition? The circular read: “LOOK “In accordance with the Jewish custom to remember the needy during the Passover Season, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Appleman will give away on Friday, April 17, at the Evarts depot a car load of flour. “The flour will be given away as long as it lasts, a 24-pound bag to a family. All needy from Evarts and surroundings are welcome regardless of creed and color.” Q —Who paid for the flour? A—l did. I had saved the money ( to buy a machine. The people were suffering, so I thought I would do without the car and give the people the flour. Dozens of children would come to my store begging. I said, “I have never had a car and will not miss it," and I bought the flour. Q—Mrs. Appleman, I understand from other sources that before you distributed this flour, you did considerable charity work, providing the children with food and clothing. Fed School Children A—Yes sir, in order to keep them in school. Professor Roberts came to us and told us that a number of children were absent because they do not get sufficient food. Q —How many children did you feed? A—Sometimes as many as forty, lorty-flve and fifty; on rainy days twenty and twenty-five. Q—This commission understands that as soon as the carload of flour was distributed, your husband was arrested and indicted for criminal syndicalism, A—They had a warrant out for him. Every day sheriffs passed our way and inquired about my husband. I had to stay here myself; Mr. Appleman could not come home or he Wild be arrested. Q—You were not bothered until you distributed the flour? A—No. Q —What became of the indictment? A—lt was dismissed. I went to the prosecuting attorney and asked what he had against us. He said he, personally, had nothing against us. He said he liked my husband. But the Black Mountain Coal Corporation does not like him. Charity Poorly Rewarded Q— Why? A—To be frank, the prosecuting attorney did say: “You gave away flour. You are feeding the children, and we don't like that.” or somethink like that. Mrs. Appleman then explained that they and the Black Mountain Corporation had for some time been involved in litigation over a lot the Applemans own at Black Mountain and which the company would like to acquire. The Governor’s commission commented as follows on this case: “Here, it seems, the finest trait and virtue, charity, was illy rewarded by the authorities. Mrs. Appleman's testimony should be read in full, for its probative value lies in the detail of circumstances she relates. The commissioners taking her testimony were greatly impressed by her sincerity. It is the testimony of a good and truthful woman.” Next—Reign of Terror in Harlan County; How Homes were Raided. \ Blase Routs Consul in Chicago By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 6. —A blaze that started in a Christmas tree in an adjoining apartment drove Dr. Hugo F. Simon. German consul-general, and his family from their apartment Wednesday night. Two other residents were forced to flee the blaze, which was extinguished with a loss of $5,000.

CREDIT POOL IS AID TO FIFTEEN INDIANA BANKS $693,500 Has Been Loaned Institutions in State; None Refused. Fifteen Indiana banks have availed themselves of the borrowing facilities offered since Oct. 17 through the Indiana district organization of the National Credit Corporation to the extent of $693,500, it was revealed today. Harold S. Cross, chief examiner of the Indianapolis Clearing House Association and secretary of the district credit corporation, declared that no request for a loan has been turned down, although in several instances additional and better collateral has been required. The Indiana district was formed in conjunction with the National Credit Corporation, set afoot by President Hoover to enable banks to realize cash upon good but frozen assets. Discrimination Refuted Total amount of loans was kept secret until the meeting of the loan committee Tuesday when it was decided that dissemination of the information would be advisable. Statements made that some banks had been discriminated against : when they requested were re- ! futed by Cross, who said that no petition had been turned down. Cross said that seventy-six Indij ana banks have joined the NaI tional Credit Corporation and have j pledged $3,542,679.83, which represents approximately 10 per cent of ! the capital and surplus of the institutions. Funds Readily Obtained Regulations of the corporation require that the subscriber banks pledge either 10 per cent of their capital and surplus or 2 per cent of deposits, whichever may be the lesser. These subscriptions are subject to call and in return the banks receive gold notes to pay 6 per cent “when and if earned.” There has been no hesitancy on the part of the national and state banks and trust companies to become subscribers, Cross said. Private banks are barred from membership. Call on Pledges Imminent The corporation was founded at the instance of President Hoover to permit banks holding good collateral, but which could be sold only at a great loss at present, to make loans upon this security. The secretary declared that mortgage loan collateral is rated at half its face value for the loan purposes. A call for payment on subscriptions is expected to be made soon, Cross said. Members of the loan committee are Frank D. Stalnaker, president of the Indiana National bank; John P. Frcnzel Jr., president of the Merchants National bank; Elmer ! Stout, president of the Fletcher American National bank; Evans ; Woollen, president of the Fletcher American Trust Company, and Arthur V. Brown, president of the Union Trust Company.

INDIAN LEADERS ARRESTED; ONE DIES JNJEVOLT Response to Hartals Mild, Compared With Zeal Last Year. By United Press BOMBAY, Jan. 6.—The government’s campaign against Indian Nationalists centered today in Bombay, where millions of Indians often have demonstrated their devotion to Mahatma Gandhi, their jailed leader. Congress organizations were declared illegal and a roundup of congress leaders began without incident. The government obviously did not wish to fill the jails, and response to hartals of the Nationalists, involving prayer and cessation of business, was only lukewarm compared with the zeal displayed a year ago when Gandhi was arrested for defying the British salt monopoly. A strong undercurrent of resentment against the government measures was unmistakable, however. The comparative failure of the hartals was due largely to abstention of Moslems. In their systematic roundup of congress leaders, armed police using motor lorries, entered congress headquarters, arrested leaders, and ran up the Union Jack to replace the congress flag. About 100 leaders were jailed, including eight women. Among the prominent persons detained were the president of the Bombay provincial congress committee and ward committees throughout the city, ex-president of the congress assembly, Vitalbhai Patel, President Mariman of the Bombay congress, and Jamnadas Dwarkadas, leading theosophist and friend of Mrs. Annie Besant. Police took possession of the headquarters of the congress volunteers. The Punjab provincial congress committee and the city congress committees of Lahore and Amristar were outlawed. / Minor disturbances occurred outside Bombay, but the roundup of leaders was generally peaceful. One man was killed in a riot at Benares, where police fired into a crowd. The crowd was defiant and stoned the police. Kiwanians Boost Endicott By Times Special HUNTINGTON, Ind., Jan. 6.
