BAYONETS PERIL WOMEN IN MINE PICKETS' CLASH Strikers’ Wives and Daughters in Illinois ‘Front Line’ Fail to Halt Troops. By United Prr ss TAYLOR VILLE, 111., OcL. 11.— Striking miners placed their wives and daughters in the "front line" today, but failed to halt operation of the Hewittville Peabody Coal Company mine. National guardsmen stationed here to maintain order, advanced on the 1,000 pickets with fixed bayonets. As the soldiers" drew near, the ‘‘strikers’’ yelled to their women to retreat, and the picket force withdrew slowly to a point approximately a mile from the mine. There, they were warned by the soldiers that women would be given the same treatment as meri if the "strikers” persisted in picketing activities. None Hurt Seriously Monday the soldiers used smoke and tear bombs to disperse the pickets twice. About 400 pickets today retreated down a railroad track near th mine, yiany of them stumbled in their hurry and were bruised, but no one was hurt seriously. The pickets had assembled at 6 a. m. to prevent former fellow diggers from going to work at the Hewittville mine. They were forced to leave the vicinity of the mine before the arrival of the workers. The pickets are members of the Progressive Miners of America, a new miners’ union composed of diggers w'ho formerly were members of the United Mine Workers of America. They revolted from the older urtion because of that organization’s approval last August of a reduced wage scale. Ask Troops’ Withdrawal A committee of ’strikers'’ circulated petitions through the TaylorviHe business district today, seeking support for a resolution asking withdrawal of troops. The petition included the signature of Mayor Cud Wilkinson. The “strikers” told business men that with troops removed the Peabody company could be forced to sign up, and thus end the strike in the major central and northern Illinois fields. Earl A. McClintock, Springfield district manager of the Peabody Coal Company, is recovering in St. j John’s hospital from lacerations and bruises sustained when he was attacked by four men when he went to get his automobile.

Abductors Avoid Virtually Certain Capture by Freeing Victim. By United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 11.—Norman B. Collins, 39, president of two Chicago banks, was home and unharmed today when kidnapers, who held him for $5,000 ransom, avoided almost certain capture and possible death by giving him his freedom. Collins, who was kidnaped with his wife near his home in the exclusive suburb of Wilmette Monday morning, was released twelve hours later without payment of ransom. The abductors had freed Mrs. Collins after scaling down a ransom demand from SIOO,OOO to $5,000. Mrs. Collins informed police, and the "secret six’’ was called upon to aid. Late Monday a slip of paper giving elaborate instructions for the ransom payment was pushed under the door of the Collins home. It instructed Mrs. Collins to drive around a mile square area, passing a designated intersection every hour during the evening. Police disguised as laborers and heavy armed machine gun details were concentrated in the area. A detective garbed as Mrs. Collins took the Collins automobile and followed the instructions. While the police awaited the appearance of the abductors, the kidnapers, fearful of detection, released their captive. Collins said he suffered no ill effects from the experience. He said the men referred to "higherups” and remarked, “We don’t know what we’ll do if we don’t get the dough.”

Now, Be Good! By I nited Press NEW YORK. Oct. 11.—Still Vehemently arguing, a young man left a young woman friend at the door of her apartment after a quarrel in early morning hours, and descended to the street, four stories below. To his horor he found the body of the young woman crumpled on the pavement. Unromantic doctors at the Harlem hospital, where she speedily recovered, could find no bruise on her. Equally unromantic police are of the opinion that, with sudden inspiration, she ran down three flights of stairs, dropped eight feet from a fire escape on the first floor, and staged the sidewalk "suicide” scene.

ASKS $5,000 OF GAS CO. FOR EYE INJURY Leaking Main Has Periled Sight, Woman Asserts in Suit. Asserting she "cries all the time” and fears loss of her sight. Mrs. Lilliam Moore, 1526 Corrnell avenue, Monday filed suit in superior court four seeking $5,000 damages from the Citizens Gas Company.

She charges a gas main leaked during the night, injuring her eyes, and resulting in her suffering from fainting spells since. John Boyd, employed by a trucking company, who said he moved Mrs. Moore’s possessions into the house, said a lantern he carried exploded the same day, due to the alleged leaking main, causing him serious injury. He also seeks $5,000 damages from the utility in a superior court three suit. LE S LIEHA S $42 852 BALANCE IN HIS FUND Amount Nearly Equal to New Reduced Appropriation. Governor Harry G. Leslie had an emergency fund balance almost equal to the new reduced appropriation at the close of the fiscal year, Sept. 30, records in the state auditor’s office disclose. From his $125,000 emergency contingent appropriation for the year 1931-32, Leslie returned $42,852.10 to the general fund. The new emergency fund appropriation was cut by the special session to $50,000. Since the fund is without restrictions of any kind, Leslie may spend it all before his successor takes office next January.

SECOND TRIAL OF SEN. DAVIS OPENS NOV. 28 Vindication Will Not Be Possible Now Before Election. By United Press NEW YORK. Oct. 11.-^Senator James J, Davis’ second trial, under indictments charging violation of federal lottery statutes today was set for Nov. 28 in federal court. Davis is a candidate for reelection in the November general election. His first trial, which ended in a mistrial, was granted separate from that of the other six defendants under the same series of indictments, so he would have an opportunity for vindication before facing his constituents. Theodore G. Miller, head of the propagation department of the Loyal Order of Moose; Bernard C. McGuire, a promoter, and his assistant. Raymond Walsh, will be codefendants at the second trial. They were all indicted in connection -with Moose charity balls which the government maintains were lotteries.

At the same time. Oct. 17 was set as argument date for demurrers to similar indictments filed in behalf of Conrad H Mann of Kansas City and Frank E. Herring of South Bend, Ind., officials of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. Their final trial dates wall be set after disposition of the demurrers. McGuire, Walsh, the Western Union Telegraph Company and M. J. Rivise, its commercial agent, facing additional indictments similar to the others, were ordered to trial Dec. 5. Should the trial of McGuire and Walsh, set for Nov. 28. extend to Dec. 5. anew day for the second trial will be set. SI,OOO Loots Taken in Store PLYMOUTH, Ind..

All’s Well —So Long as Rival Parties Keep Apart

North Side Nonpartisan Meeting Winds Up in ‘Natural’ Fashion. No matter with how much vehemence Democaats and Republicans proclaim their nonpartisan civicmindedness. it still remains the world's greatest problem of how to put proponents of the two parties in the same room and then spend a quiet' evening. That was illustrated Friday evening when the Ndrth Side Taxpayers' League, a nonpartisan group, but composed mostly of Republicans, invited Democratic legislative nominees to give their views on the $1.50 minimum tax levy law. Led by John F. White, fourteen of the sixteen Democratic nominees for house and senate appeared to give their views and each upheld the $1,50 law. Several Democratic speakers charged the Republican senate, in the special session of the legislature. with "double-crossing” the

Then Representative Jacob Weiss, leader of the Wright law repealists. called attention that Martin Hugg, "chairman of the Republican county committee, once removed,” was presiding at the meeting. After upholding the 81.50 law. Weiss sain he would like to delve into the political aspect. "Not here," cautioned Hugg. "This isn't a political meeting. It's 111 right, Jake, but not here. I voted for you last time. But let’s not go into tWlit." The Republicans laughed forcedly. The Democrats chuckled. Galloway charged "54.000 pieces ot furniture were purchased by the st?ite which retailed for $170,” and mentioned other items with no connection to the $1.50 law. The Republican nonpartisans squirmed and fretted. Finally, one rose to challenge the statements. "If what you say is so.” he said, “then you Democrats repudiate the Democratic city administration." Adjournment followed in a few minutes.
