STUDENTS TELL LAWMAKERS OF MINE VIOLENCE Costigan, Copeland, Logan Given Detailed Account of Ejection. By United Prcgg WASHINGTON, March 31. Members of a college students' investigation and relief expedition to the Bell county (Ky.) coal mines, complained today before a small group of senators that the coal operators had caused them to be ejected from the state under conditions violative of their constitutional rights. Robert F. Hall, Columbia university, led the delegation which recounted the story today before Senator Costigan (Dem., Colo.), Senator Edward P. Copeland (Dem., N. Y.) and Senator M. M. Logan fDem., Ky.). Costigan is co-author with Senator Bronson Cutting 'Rep., N. M.) of a resolution for a federal investigation of the mine areas where it is alleged a “reign of terror” exists. A score of students came to Capitol hill today. The others have gone to New York. Hall explained that 200 students from several eastern colleges had sought in Kentucky, not only to provide relief but to adopt a “laboratory method of studying the social sciences.” Greeted at Line Hall, Eleanor Curtis, Leonard E. Mins, Morris Pipschitz and Gabriel Carritt, all of Columbia, recounted incidents of the expedition. “W. B. Smith, county attorney of Bell county, and a mob greeted us at the state line,” Hall said, “and the intimidation began at that time." "Smith asked Hall if he believed in God,” said Miss Curtis. "Hall replied he could not speak for the whole bus. Smith asked us to go back and we refused.” Miss Curtis said the entire party then was escorted to the county seat where there was an impromptu meeting in the courthouse at which she complained Colonel Patterson, an attorney for the mine operators, had made a provocative speech to the effect that: "We can not have communism In this state and our rivers will run red with blood before we allow it.” She said that in reply to questions. County Attorney Smith told the students: “I am the law, and I interpret the Constitution.” Charges Slander “Smith used slanderous language,” Hall told the senators. “He referred in mix-breeds and played on religious prejudices by emphasizing the Jewish names of some of our students.” Carritt, a British citizen but a Columbia graduate, said that he had been hit on the jaw by a Bell county deputy named Stacy when he went to the aid of Miss Curtis, from whom Smith, it was charged, was attempting to seize a letter. Garritt said the letter, which belonged to Smith, referred to the students as "the rah rah elements of communism.” Mins said he had warned Ted Kreech, a deputy from Harlan county, that the students would return with a United States marshal to cr|!orce their right to free use of the interstate highway, and that Kreech replied: "When we went to war, my caplain said, When you soe a German, draw a bead on him like you would a United States marshal.’ ” The meeting today was informal and without authorization other than Costigan’s agreement to hear the students’ story.

Lady Mountbattcn By United Pregg /CANNES, France, March 31. Glittering jewels and brilliant evening dresses worn by titled and socially prominent women at the Cannes casino frightened a lioness so badly she jumped through the roof of her cage to spring on internationally known society folk. This was the explanation advanced today by casino officials and the animal trainer in charge of the lioness and three lions. The trainer said that only a spotlight, which blinded the lioness, prevented the beast from jumping on the men and women, who encircled her cage. The incident occurred in a restaurant adjoining the casino. The guests were terrified to see the lioness spring like a cat to the top of the cage, and force her way through the bars. Several women fainted. Some costumes w’ere torn. But some spectators were more calm and told the orchestra, directed by Billy Arnold of Paterson, N. J., to play as loudly as possible. The trainer and his woman assistant got the lioness under control with a lire hose and a lasso. Among the prominent people in the restaurant were Lord and Lady Mountbatten, Mrs. Paul Dubonnet (the former Jean Nash), Mrs. Harry Brown of New York, Mrs. Wooley Hart, Lady Oxford and Asquith, Mrs. Robert Plaisance of Washington, Count Salm and Mrs. Elbert Soper of Ottawa. LAMPLIGHTER GETS JOB Old Occupation Revived on Bridge at Evansville. By United Prcgg EVANSVILLE, Ind., March 31. A lamplighter’s job, ordinarily thought of in connection with the ’9o’s, has been created here to care for lanterns on the EvansvilleHenderson (Ky.) bridge. Although the bridge is modern in other respects, it has kerosene lamp navigation lights on each pier. The lighter brightens them each at night and trims the wicks each morning.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

HEIRESS HELD AS SWINDLER; BLAME GLAND Descendant of Old Family Charged Forger of S2O Check. By United Prcgg NEW YORK, March 31.—Harriet Russell, reputed heiress to an interest in $250,000 and a descendant j of an old New England family, was held for grand jury action for the third time today on charges of swindling storekeepers, the result, | relatives said, of a deficient pituitary gland. Her third arrest Wednesday was on charges of forging the name of Mrs. James W. Maitland to a check | for S2O, paying a bill of $1.50 in the butcher shop of Charles Searles, j and receiving $18.50 in change. Miss Russell’s troubles first attracted attention in 1909 when she i was expelled from Wellesley college I for the theft of $25, according to a probation report made in 1927, when she was sentenced to welfare island for theft of merchandise valued at $29.10. Later, by forged references, she obtained a position as teacher at the Standish Manor school, Halifax, Mass., where she taught for six years and was principal for two. Obtaining a position at the Phoebe Ann Thorne school for girls in Bryn Mawr, she was caught taking pupils’ clothing and checks. Asa teacher in the Tuxedo Park school, Tuxedo, N. Y,, she was found charging purchases to parents of pupils. In 1927, however, when a teacher in a private high school at Scarsdale, N. Y., receiving S3OO a month as an instructor in mathematics, she was sentenced to an indeterminate term at Welfare island for treatment by a psychiatrist.
