GREEN MAY SETTLE
HEOISPUTE
International Conclave Hears
Workers Describe Abuses
in Illinois.
Br the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. March 13.
Delaying official action against the
Illinois insurgent group until mine
workers from District 12 have related
their stories of alleged abuses by dis
trict officers, the United Mine Workers
of America entered the fourth day of
their thirty-first consecutive conven
tion today, with the floor open to any
delegate wishing to discuss Illinois
mine affairs.
Disciplinary Action Expected.
At the end of these discussions the
convention is expected to vote on a
committee report calling for “disciplin
ary action” on the Illinois insurgents
meeting at Springfield, which, it is be
lieved, may lead to the expulsion of
all those union members attending the
rump session.
Announcement yesterday that Wil
liam Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, will address the
session here Monday brought the pre
diction by delegates and officers that
the federation head will reveal the
organization’s attitude and probable
action regarding John H. Walker, pres
ident of the Illinois Federation of La
bor, who is alleged to have been active
in calling the Illinois meeting. The
international board of the Mine Work
ers two weeks ago demanded that the
National Federation take act on against
Walker.
It was learned yesterday that Green
already has sent a telegram to Walker
demanding that he explain his atti
tude. Green, it is understood, has the
authority to remove Walker, or to
suspend the entire Illinois federation
from the national organization. John
L. Lewis, international president of the
miners, contends that, since the union
is a supporting factor of the National
Federation, the latter must protect the
union by taking action against Walker.
Workers Take Platform.
The attacks on the Illinois insurgents,
which opened with Lewis’ bitter de
nunciation Tuesday of the leaders of
the rump session, brought additional
charges yesterday from the mine work
ers themselves, who took the platform
to recite their grievances.
The actions of Walker, Frank Far
rington, former president of the Illinois
district; Alexander Howat. president of
the Kansas union and of the rump con
vention; A. C. Lewis, general counsel
for District 12, and others were assailed.
Delegates charged theft of union funds,
purchase of union elections, beatings
and shootings.
John T. Jones, provisional president
of Subdistrict 9 of District 12, related
how he had received threatening letters
“too obscene to read here” telling him
to leave after his appointment.
"Chicago gangland is decent com
pared with conditions in Franklin
County and Springfield.’’ he said.
Roy Groves of West Frankfort, HI.,
told the convention that he saw his son
shot down during an election and that
he was beaten so badly that he was an
Invalid for several weeks.
CONTINUES EFFORTS.
Farrington Denies “Sell Out” Contract
With Peabody Coal Co.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., March 13 UP)
Frank Farrington, former Illinois head of
the United Mine Workers of America,
today continued his efforts for recog
nition in the insurgent convention of
union men opposed to John L. Lewis,
international president.
The fight against seating Farrington
as a delegate kept yesterday’s session of
the “rump” meeting in a continual tur-
Farrington’s 'foes charged he "sold
out" the miners by signing a contract
with the Peabody Coal Co. to act as
their adviser at a salary of $25,000 a
year while still president of the Illinois
mine group.
In reply, Farrington said the contract
did not became effective and did not
call for his services until after his resig
nation from the State group went into
effect. , . ..
The assault on Lewis was led by Alex
Howait of Kansas, who demanded a
senatorial investigation of the rule of
the international president. In a tele
gram read before the convention and
dispatched to Senator Burton K.
Wheeler, Howatt asserted;
"Controlling the international organi
sation by autocratlfl rule, packed con
ventions and professional sluggers, who
suppressed all criticisms, Lewis has in
creased his salary during the last dec
ade from SB,OOO to $12,000 per annum.
State after State has been swept from
the union ranks until today the inter
national organization outside of Illinois
is but a mere shell.”
The convention also adopted a reso
lution demanding that steps be taken
looking to legal action against Lewis,
enjoining his access to the interna
tional's treasury, which has funds of
nearly a million dollars.

INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS
ANTICIPATED IN SOUTH
Conference Told Region Abounds
in Resources—Washington
Man Named Secretary.
By the Associated Press.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., March 13.
Terming this the electro-chemical-lron
age, Gov. Bibb Graves of Alabama told
the annual Industrial Conference of
the Southern Division of the American
Mining Congress Tuesday that the
South should be the industrial center
of America, because this region is
richer in industrial resources than any
other.
The governor, however, urged that in
dustrial leaders think in terms of
America rather than sections in plan
ning developments.
“America’s world supremacy is being
challenged,” Gov. Graves said, "and
supremacy in the future will be merited
by the survival of the fittest. The
World War destroyed the manpower of
Europe and left America with monopoly
of unprecidented prosperity, but a new
crop of men is being raised in Europe
and with them is coming a new era.”
Gov. Graves suggested a council of
industrial leaders to co-operate with all
the States as a means of promoting
Southern development.
Capt. R. M. Watt of Pineville, Ky.,
was chosen to succeed Erskln Ramsey
of Birmingham. Ala., as chairman of
the board of governors of the Southern
division of the congress at the annual
election. Dr. Henry Mace Payne of
Washington was re-elected secretary.
In a message read to the conference,
Richard H. Edmonds, editor of the
Manufacturers’ Record, said small pol
itics and petty jealousies had greatly
hindered industrial development in the
South.

SHADOWY FIGURE TESTING DOOR
HAS NO FEAR—HE'S WATCHMAN
George Is One of 'Shadows Which Protect
Business and Residential Properties
in Capital.
A shadowy form passes slowly by a
show window, moves into the dark
areaway of the entrance and pauses at
the door.
It is 2 o’clock in the morning. F
street is deserted. No—there comes a
policeman, swinging his club.
The form at the door remains sta
tionary. but a hand Teaches out and
tries the knob with a quick twist.
The policeman is close now.
The figure in the areaway comes
boldly out into the light and raises a
hand to the officer. The man from
the shadows is gray-haired, but erect.
He is buttoned up in a heavy overcoat.
His voice breaks the nocturnal stillness
as he says simply:
“Hullo. Eddie.’’
" ’Lo, George,” the policeman re
sponds.
That is all of the colloquy. Both men
continue quietly on their way.
Has Nothing to Fear.
George has nothing to be afraid of,
for he is not a gentleman of the under
world engaged in nefarious prowling*,
but a member of that llttle-heard-of but
highly efficient protective corps, the
Night Watchmen’s Association of the
District ofoColumbia.
He is one of a group of “shadows”
which move in the downtown business
section and in some parts of the fash
ionable residential districts each night
from twilight to dawn. His presence
serves a fourfold purpose—to discourage
law violators who may be seeking a
likely “job,” to guard properties against
fire and other damage, to save useless
waste of electricity in show windows
after the theater crowds have gone, and,
finally, to correct shortcomings of ab
sent-minded business men.
The members of the Night Watch
man’s Association just now are cele
brating their twenty-fifth year of serv-
I ice to Washington property owners. The
organization was founded March 15,
1905. and now embraces a membership
of about 30 men. Most of them are
beyond middle age. They know m,

U. S. STATES’ DEBTS
STIR BRITISH LORDS
Federal Government Declared Not
Responsible to Bond
holders.
By the Associated Press.
LONDON. March 13.—The futility of
asking the United States Government to
interfere in settling the accounts of
eight Southern States which owe
£78,000,000 (about $379,000,000) to
British bondholders was pointed out
yesterday in the House of Lords by
Lord Ponsonby.
Lord Redesdale had asked whether
the British government would consider
taking up the matter with the United
States Government, saying that the
defaulting States now were in the same
position as Russia—namely, "a financial
leper.”
Lord Banbury, supporting the motion,
declared that the United States had
insisted on prompt payment of war
debts by Great Britain, but said when
the United States is the debtor she
takes no steps to make settlement.
Lord Ponsonby deplored criticism of
the United States at this particular
time and said it was most unfortunate
that the United States had been com
pared to Russia. He added that the
United States Government had no con
cern with the financial obligations of
individual States.
“If the Naval Conference is to be
used as a smoke screen to prevent free
speech in this House,” Lord Redesdale
retorted, "it is a great pity.”

Members of the association are em
ployed by large department stores, ex

business establishments to shut off show
window lights when the streets ore

for signs of fire, bursted water pipes
and other untoward happenings in the

truders. Some of the watchmen also
operate in the fine residential section,
especially in the vicinity of embassies
and legations.
James P. Cochran, treasurer and bus
iness manager of the association, point
ed out today that members have found
as many as five doors open or unlocked
in one evening’s round, the result of
forgetfulness of some of the city’s “big

HAITI COMMISSION
TO CONTINUE WORK
Borno’s Reported Opposition
to Temporary President
Stirs Unrest.
By the Associated Press.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, March 13—The
Hoover investigating commission has
decided to remain in Haiti until it is
further informed on the political situa
tion instead of leaving in three or four
days, as was Indicated yesterday.
Return of the commission here yes
terday brought calm to the capital after
considerable unrest had been caused by
President Bomo’s reported opposition to
the commission's plan for a temporary
President in Haiti.
The commission reopened its hearings
today, receiving testimony from Amer
ican officials employed under the Amer
lcan-Haltian convention. It will take
no action toward Bomo until other
matters are cleared up.
Brig. Gen. John H. Russell. American
high commissioner, was in conference
with the commission four hours last
night.
Natives Chase Speaker Home.
Natives of Gonaives listened patiently
while Jean Francois Beauhorinais, a
fellow citizen, told the Hoover commis
sion yesterday about the wonderful
things the United States had done since
Benjamin Franklin’s time.
But when the cruiser Rochester had
pulled its anchor and sailed away, bear
ing the commission back to Port-Au-
Prince, a crowd of irate citizens chased
the speaker home, denounced him as a
traitor, showered him with bricks and
threatened to burn down his home.
They tore down a Haitian flag from
his porch.
Matin, a pro-Bomo paper here, which
learned of the riot, said that Beau
horinais eulogized the United States
only as a prelude to a final declaration
that American occupation was running
the country and a demand for "liberty.”
The paper hinted today that the
United States was aligning itself with
the "revolution.”
Borno Is Quoted.
The commission received a wirelessed
report quoting a statement credited to
President Borno in the newspaper
Le Moniteur.
The newspaper quoted the President
as saying that he approved the com
mission plan for a temporary adminis
tration only on condition that it would
be executed in strict accord with the
constitution of Haiti and the treaty pf
1915. Since the constitution, under
strict interpretation, would not provide
for national legislative elections until
1932, the commission interpreted this
as an apparent attempt by the Presi
dent to delay execution of the plan.
COTTON DENIES SUPERVISION.
Commission to Work Oat Plan to Hold
Until Elections, He Says.
Joseph P. Cotton, acting Secretary of
State, said today there was no indica
tion that the United States would su
pervise the forthcoming presidential
election in Haiti.
Cotton said the Forbes Commission
would work out a temporary arrange
ment by which the government would
operate until the end of President
Borno’s term in May, when the elec
tions will be held.

neer, plans to take off from San Fran
cisco about May 1 on a non-stop flight
to Nagasaki, Japan, a distance of 9,300

! terday. The undertaking will be for
1 commercial and scientific purposes.
Stelllng said an F-201 tri-motored
monoplane, of his own design, powered
with three Diesel turbine engines, would
be used. The plane has six propellers,
driven by shaft through the wing, a
new device in airplane construction.
The huge motors will be housed Inside
the fuselage rather than under the
wings.
The crew will consist of eight, Stell
ing said. He declined, however, to re
veal their identity or to name the back
ers of the prospect at this time.
The ship, built at a Paterson plant,
already has undergone successful test
flights, he said.

Explorer Deplores “Tendency
to Create Controversy”
Over Discoveries.
I By the Associated Press,
i DUNEDIN. N.w Zealand, March 13
| While members of his expedition were
1 at play In various parts of New Zealand.
1 on tours or fishing and hunting trips,
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, with
characteristic cheerfuless. today settled
down to transact the large amount of
business which has accumulated while
he attended the numerous receptions (
given in his honor. Admiral Byrd was ■
getting his expedition ready to sail l
! home next week.
The bark City of New York and the j
steamer Eleanor Bolling must be refitted
for the trip to Hew York, which is ex
pected to require about nine weeks.
City life here, which has meant but
little more than walking about the
streets speculating on the change from
the icy wastes of the Antarctic, has be
gun to pall on members of the party.
To each man’s request for leave Admiral
Byrd replied, “Go ahead.” Aided by
free railroad transportation, many have
gone to Mount Cook, the highest peak
of the Southern Alps.
Care for the safety of his men is Ad
miral Byrd’s foremost, thought, and his
warning to one not to take any risks
when the man said he intended to at
tempt to scale Mount Cook’s 12,000-foot
! summit appeared ironical.
Reports on Talk Please Byrd.
Admiral Byrd was delighted at re
ports from many parts of the world in
the interest in the two-way broadcast
Tuesday with New York.
“The interest taken in so many parts
of the world, even in Germany, in the
talk indicates that the expedition has
brought the world's attention to the
progressiveness of the United States in
scientific research,” he said.
"I have noted a tendency In some
' quarters of America and Europe to
create a controversy between the British
Empire and the United States concern
ing claims in the Antarctic. There is
no reason or ground for that. We have
considered this expedition a scientific
venture and, we hope, a sporting one.
We want down there with the utmost
respect for the British who preceded us,
and our work should bring us closer to
; gether, and not farther apart. It would
be a pity should a controversy arise
and would go entirely against the feel
ings and hopes we have held.

HARVARD MEN CHEAT.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 13 (/Fl- —
Harvard authorities yesterday confirmed
reports that nine freshmen are facing
possible expulsion and a score of others
may be disciplined for duplicating each
other’s mathematic assignment work.
At the same time the university con
firmed the news that two freshmen had
been dismissed earlier in the year for
cheating in English, while a third, the
son of a wealthy New Jersey family, had
been forever barred from Harvard for
entertaining a young woman in his
rooms.
