WEBER'S BAND COMES

An address by Gov. McCray on the afternoon of Thursday, Sept 14, will be one of the features of the first Wayne county fair, the executive committee announced Saturday. It was stated that Gov. McCray had accepted an invitation to speak. Weber's band of Cincinnati, one of the finest in the country; Miss Katherine Hoch, famous soprano, of the same city; an immense dance pavilion 80 by 140 feci, with music by the Dixie jazz orchestra of Chicago; a horse show which already promises to excerd the plans of Superintendent. C. L. Gifford; and, as a thriller, a diving horse act in which a white horse will dive off a 40-foot scaffold into a tank of water, are features expected to draw record breaking crowds. To Be Memorable Event These attractions all added to the stock exhibits already promised will make he event this fall the biggest in the history of the city for years, the committee feels, and will give a worthy start to the plans for an annual fair, of which this is expected to be the first. The many attractions that are offered in addition to the excellent stock exhibits this year are expected j to interest city as well as farm folk and to assure hearty support for the permanent fair plans. New Features Added. Contrary to rumors circulated In fcome parts of the country, absolutely no changes have been made in fair plans, and in fact several additional features were decided upon at the executive committee meeting Friday night. The horse diving act, which was agreed upon by the committee, is believed to be a stellar attraction, and cn account of the presence of this act and of Weber's band, several other high class concessions have applied for space, explaining that they know these will be drawing cards for a largo crowd. The high regard in which these are held is shown by the fact that many other concessions are locating their tpace primarily with reference to the first two. Testimony of the I. and I. fair secretary at Danville, I1L, in a telephone conversation with Elmer Eggemeyer Friday night, also was very enthusiastic in favor of the strength of this attraction. "It has been the best feature we have ever put on," he said, "and has proved more popular than any other act on the grounds." Four Horses Employed. This act employs four horses, which take turns in diving, as none can stand the effect of a continuous day-after-day performance for a week. Two of these horses will be sent to Richmond for the fair, and the other two will perform at Atlanta, Ga., at the same time. The whole party, with twb riders will be at the Minneapolis fair next week. In addition to the diving horse, the rider also is an exhibition diver and will give displays of his skill in high diving from the same scaffold. The American Legion band has been engaged in addition to Weber's band for the three days. eber s bana win be accompanied by Miss Katherine Hoch. sopranist, of Cincinnati, who will sing for some of the programs. Other Music Other music will be provided by the Dixie Jazz orchestra, a colored musicians' organization of Chicago, which will play for the dance pavilion which will be located on the grounds. This has proven an especially popular concession where it has been engaged, and the apparatus will be trucked into the Glen Miller park next weuk and set up, five days being necessi.-y to erect the dancing floor and tent. The floor is of white maple. Automobile dealers of Richmond are planning an auto show that will be a feature in itself worthy of drawing the crowds that will attend, and one they believe is sure to prove of grea interest. Horse Show Entries Entries for the horse show also are being signed up rapidly, Mr. Gifford having scoured the country in search of attractive entries and securing promise of enough to make ttus department another feature. For additional amusements, an extensive program of mule races, horse shoe pitching, and other diversions is being planned by Director Slocum of the Community Service organization A babies' nursery will be maintained by the county Red Cross organization during the three days, a-.d an emergency hospital with eome member of the medical society in attendance, also will be located on the grounds.

Pencils of Light" Used to Broadcast Wireless Pictures PALLADIUM SEWS BUREAU WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. "Pencils of light" and "carrier waves" are the agencies employed in transmittin pictures, by radio, C. Francis Jenkins of Washington, discoverer of the process, explains. Mr. Jenkins has been a resident of Washington for many years but he is an Indiana product, a native of Wayne county, and one of the foremost American inventors. He first won fame as the inventor of the motion picture. His latest discovery promises to rival his earlier epochmaking invention in importance. With the device he has perfected, Mr. Jenkins states, a pencil of light, which travels in a definite direction, is directed over the picture which is to be transmitted. "This pencil of light," he says, "is transformei into a carrier wave that varies with the intensity of the light and is broadcasted in the same way as sound waves. The receiving station, being equipped with apparatus to convert the carrier waves back into light waves, projects the pencil of light thus received onto a sensitive photographic plate. Thus the picture is re corded. Need Greater Speed "The only obstacle which has been in the way of transmittiKg moving pic tures nas been the need of greater speed in the process. And that is being developed now, will be perfected before long." There will be many uses for Mr. Jenkins' radio picture broadcasting process once it has ben perfected for commercial use. Then it will be possible for a family to sit in a radioequipped room and enjoy seeing as well as hearing an opera; for instance, being staged many miles away. Among the other advantages of the device are the possibility of receiving news photographs from great distances as quickly as the telegraphic text; the transmitting of photographs of criminal suspects when there is an urgency for immediate identification, and the transforming of the nation's (Please Turn to Page Twenty) ELLIOTT RECOMMENDS BUFKIN FOR POSTAL JOB AT NEWCASTLE PALLAT1IUM JTEWS BUREAU WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. Sam J. Bufkin, highest Republican of the eligible list submitted today by the civil service commission, has been recommended by Representative R. N. Elliott for appointment as postmaster at Newcastle, Ind. The present post master at that city, Edward Smith, Democrat, . whose term expires next Tuesday, was first on' the eligible list. Bufkin was the second eligible, and Clyde Hardesty. Republican, was the third. It is understood that In the event Bufkins' appointment has not been confirmed by the senate before Tuesday the postoffice departmnt will be asked to appoint him acting post, master at the expiration of Smith's term, serving in that capacity until the confirmation of his appointment. Bufkin is a well known business man, operating a cigar factorv. He has been active in Republican politics in Henry county for many years, and is a member of the city council of Newcastle. The eligible lists for the postmasterships at Richmond and Shelbyvilla have not yet been submitted to Representative Elliot by the civil service commission. He expects to receive them soon, however. Terms of incumbent postmasters in those two cities also expire next Tuesday. Soviet Killed 1,766,118 Opponents of Bolshevism (By Associated Press) LONDON, Sept. 2.

BOARD HOLDS BACK Prosecution of Edgar F. Hiatt, on indictments returned by the grand jury

last spring, may be seriously hamper ed through refusal of the county commissioners to allow a. $1,500 appropriation for assistant counsel, it was learn ed Saturday. Prosecutor Beckett, in a request filed with the court several weeks ago, asked a special appropriation "for the prosecution of several important fel ony cases, such money to be paid out only upon order of the court." Judge W. A. Bond, to whom the request was made, approved and for warded the requisition setting the amount at 51,500, when it went to the county commissioners. The requisi tion was presented with others when the county commissioners met to go over the additional appropriations for the balance of the year, 1922. Take No Action. No action was taken by the county commissioners. The additional appro priations for the year go before the county council next Tuesday for approval. Unless action is taken then, the prosecuting attorney will be seriously hampered in his action against Hiatt, both in the investigation and the trial of the case, it is said. County officials who are opposed to the appropriation are said to have taken the stand that the $1,500 is a mere drop in the bucket in the trial of the case. Employs Good Counsel "It is well known that Hiatt has employed some of the best legal talent in the state, that he has not confined himself to one firm alone, but is prepared to fight the case of the state every inch of the way," said a member of the Wayne County Bar asso ciation Saturday. "Now, if the state is to conduct the prosecution of this case properly, it must have enough legal taint to bal ance the defense. It is merely a ques tion of having the state as well represented as the defendant. In many cases it is the other way round. The defendant, too often, is a poor man who can not employ legal talent. If we are to be consistent in our administration of the law, the county should be prepared to prosecute wealthy offenders just as much as poor ones." BROTHERHOOD CHIEF TAKES ISSUE WITH DAUGHERTY'S STAND By HARRY G. BAKER (By United Press) CLEVELAND. Ohio, Sept. 2. D. B. Robertson, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, today took issue with Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty, who yesterday defended the "open shop" in applying in a Chicago court for an injunction " against the shopmen's strike. Robertson declared that a "Labor Day message he wrote Aug. 28," attacking the open shop, must "stand as written." It was to have been made public Monday. In this message the brotherhood chief attacked advocates of the "open shop" as "unjust and un-American." He predicted the loss of the "open shop" movement. He urged the unions to stand solidly against it. Attorney General Daugherty, in urging the injunction yesterday, said: "But it may be understood that so long and to the extent that I can speak for the government of the United States I will use the power of the government within my control to prevent the labor unions of the country from destroying the 'open shop.' ' Chief Explains Stand When the United Press called Robertson's attention to the fact today that his message came as an open defy to Daugherty, the "Big Four" chief exclaimed: "You have the message. It was written Aug. 28, but I am fully aware of Daugherty's stand for the open shop, taken in federal court in Chicago. My message stands as it is written. I have no changes to make." In his message, Robertson said: "The modern trade union is the first effective challenge to the world old theory of serfdom and around this challenge centers all opposition to or ganized labor.

Martin, commanding of ficer of Chanute field at Rantoul, 111., who is making a short visit with his Bister, Mrs. Irwin Jackson, at 116 North Seventeenth street, landed on the George Thorp farm north of Richmond, Saturday. Major Martin was accompanied by Sergeant Anderson Arrangements had been made for landing in the E. G. Hill field west of Richmond, Major Martin telegraphing to his sister Friday. However, the field proved unsuitable for the large plane and it landed on the Thorp farm on the Union pike, north of Richmond, at about 9:15. A perfect landing was made in a large clover field, and the plane was left under Mr. Thorp's care. The flight from Rantoul was made in 83 minutes flying time, 17 minutes being spent in gassing and oiling at Fort Benjamin Harrison. The total distance is 194 miles and th? 130 miles to Fort Benjamin Harrison was made on 21 gallons of gasoline For the De Haviland planes, a larg and heavy machine, the ordinary consumption is from 20 to 25 gallons an hour. The planes are- equipped with tank holding 88 gallons. Expects Improvements An immense improvement In airplane design within the near future is expected by Maj. Martin, who bases his belief upon the recent progress in glider development. "When a flyer can take two passengers in a glider with no engine, up to 1,200 feet and stay up for three hours," he said, "he would surely be able to cover the whole country if he had a motorcycle engine on his plane. "We may expect soon to see a great revision in airplanes, with much lighter machines, less powerful engines, greater lift and carrying capacity. This country is very far behind in development of aerofoils, 'or airplane lifting surface designs. However, the presence of Fokker, the noted airplane designer who is working for the U. S. Air Service at Dayton now, may be expected to put us ahead at,-?in." Severe Earthquake Wrecks City in Northern Formosa (By Associated I-ress) TOKIO, Sept. 2.

E. F.GRABLE IS SICK

CBy Associated Press) CHICAGO, Sept. 2. While rigid restrictions were placed by the federal injunction, granted yesterday, on all participants in the nation-wide rail strike, reports of violence in connection with the walkout continued to be received. The last 24 hours, however, developed fewer outrages than days immediately preceding. High lights included the bombing of the home of a railroad shop foreman at Little Rock, Ark.; a plot to; dynamffe property of the Louisiana and Arkansas railway at Bentley, La.; an attempt to derail a Big Four train at Marion, Ohio; derailment of the Palmetto limited on the Atlantic Coast Line near Tampa, Fla., and an attempt to blow up a bridge over the Cuyahoga river in Ohio. Two Lives Lost The most disastrous occurrence was the wreck of a St. Louis-San Francisco passenger train at Cape Girardeau, Ma, with the loss of two lives and injuries to a number of passengers. The train crashed through a trestle. Investigation has established no act of vandalism as contributing to the cause of the collapse of the trestle Alhough Frisco officials vigorously denied the trestle had been unsafe, Prosecuting Attorney Funwich, of Perry county, began investigation of reports that section hands reported the structure to be unsafe several months ago. A threatened walkout by train crews at Parsons, Kas., was averted when guards were removed from inside the Missouri, Kansas and Texas yards, Firemen, however, refused to move two trains on the Southern Railway at Asheville, N. C, because of an altercation between a hostler and a guard, and Louisvil3 and Nashville trainmen were taking a strike vote at Corbin Ky., following alleged insults by guards. B. and O. Annuls Trains. The Baltimore and Ohio announced annulment of 23 passenger trains Sept. 4Some coal mines in the southern Illinois fields were closed because of a car shortage. It was reported that half the mines in Williamson county were shutdown. C. R. Markham, president of the Illinois Central announced that conditions on that road had improved to such an extent that the Paducah, Ky. shops were employing more men than before the strike began and that there would seen be no more jobs for returning strikers. Department of justice operatives de nied that a nation-wide raid on radicals was contemplated as a result of dis-' closures and arrests in Chicago in con nection with alleged wreck plats. CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept. 2. Temporary cancellation of 23 Baltimore and Ohio passenger trains was viewed today by striking shopmen here as further evidence of the effectiveness of the strike. Cancellation was announced as effective Tuesday, by O. D. Brooks, superintendent of transportation for the B. and O. lines southwest. This move will allow greater concentration of mechanics on freight locomotive and car repairs and will release some motive power now in passenger service for the rreat increase in coal movements expeVed as a result of recent adjustments in the coal strike situation, it wa explained.

SCOTT NOT WORRIED

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Sept, 2. Under restric tions placed upon them by the United States government by means of the most drastic and far-reaching temporary injunction ever issued in an industrial crisis, the 300,000 railway shopmen, who walked out July 1. in protest against wages and working conditions prescribed by the railroad labor board, today had entered a new era of the nation-wide rail strike. Federal authorities in Chicago served notice of yesterdays injunction on some of the heads of the railway employes department ol tho American Federation of Labor and rushed preparation of additional United States deputy marshals to serve the hundreds of subpoenas. The government is prepared to exercise any of Its power necessary to bring about normal rail conditions, according to announcement of administration spokesmen. Has No Power Gompers announced that the American Federation of Labor does not have the power to call general Etrike, but said that appeals for such, a mov will be heard at the executive- council meeting next Saturday. District Attorney Cly.3 saia tnat in his opinion additional supplemental in junction proceedings in tedBral district courts of the country vroud be unnec essary. The government's suit, he said, was sufficiently broad to cover the entire country. John Scott, secretary of the TUflway Employes' department met his associates in conference shortly before noon at the federated craft headquarters. Mr. Scott declared that Mr. Jewell had left the city, but refused to give hi3 destination. Subpoenas Served. -The federal subpoenas were served on Scott last night and were- left at union headquarters. "We're not worrying about the injunction!' Mr. Scott . . i j. i a i j r said. Reports that huge union defense funds were to be raised brought from Scott the remark that, we have plenty of funds now". All we have to do is to stay away from the shops and the strike will be won. Some of these railroads will soon be for sale, and then we can buy them up and operate them ourselves." The restraining order obtained from Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson by Attorney General Daugherty, prohibits interference in any manner with any and all phases of railroad operations. Printed and oral propaganda were placed under the ban, and the injunction is directed against all person connected in an official capacity with the railway employes department of the American Federation of Labor, the Federation of Shop Crafts, and system federations; The life of the temporary Injunction extends to Sept. 11, when Julge Wilkerson will hear a motion for a permanent order. Federation to Meet. Meanwhile the executive committee of the American Federation of Labor prpared to meet Sept. 9. Samuel Gompers, president of the federation, who condemned th injunction as "outrageous," said in Washington that communications from labor organiza tions requesting the federation to sponsor a general strike in sympathy with the shopmen would be placed before the council, "purely as a matter of routine business." Officials of the federation explained that it was not within the authority of the council to order, or even to authorize a general strike. Such action they said, would require a national convention. At the same time officials of the shop crafts asserted that the order would have no effect on the continuance of the strike. In a statement issued by the executive council of the railway employes' department of the American Federation of Labor, strike leaders pledged to aid by their "every power" enforcement of the injunction against "lawlessness and violence" in connection with the strike. Will Go Limit From the White House came the declaration that the federal' government will not stop with the restraining order if it finds "that other steps are necessary." In their statement the council assumed "that the right of railway employes is acknowledged to continue a lawful strike in a lawful manner until a satisfactory settlement is made." 'At least until advised that the con stitution of the United States and the decision of the supreme court are no

longer to be relied upon as the law of the land," the statement continued, "the officials of the organizations of railway employes will continue to perform their legitimate duties to their members, to aid them in the lawful pursuit of their lawful purposes, and to do all in their power, in conjunction with officers of the government to restrain and to punish every unlawful act of those -who are rightfully involved, or who without right involved themselves in the operation of the roads." Stand on Rights The statement declared that It could not be assumed that the attorney general could have waited two months to proceed against the strikers If a peaceful conduct of the strike was- unlawful, or that President Hardingwould have held conferences with "lawbreakers" and "proposed that the lawbreakers whom they represented should return to work under terms which, they afterward accepted and which, the railway executive rejected." Attorney General Daugherty in presenting his petition declared its underlying principle was "the survival and supremacy of the government of the XEgnwtftJage Nine) 1
