RICHMOND, Va., March 12—The last debate of the 1928 Legislature is over, but there still remains unsettled { one of the greatest controversics of the whole session—the question of who won the Dempsey-Tunney fight. The question jumped right into the middle of the legislative sessions with the private showing to members of the General Assembly of the much-dis- cussed films of the big fight. which have been barred from a number of the States under the Federal law prohibit- ing transportation of prize fight films, Films Get Into State. Somehow or other the films got into Virginia and the question of whether they might be publicly exhibited in the State was put up to the State Supreme Court of Appeals. This court recently ruled that they could be shown. The films seemed to have gotten around the law on the ground that they are not the original pictures of the fight, but just copies thereof. ‘While the legal fight was on, the films remained in the custody of the State| board of censorship at the State office | building here, across from the capitol. | When word to that effect leaked out, there ensued a steady stream of legi: Virginians Close Session With Dispute Decide “Legal™ Status. gerly Scanned to lators en route to and from the capitol and the State office building. They wanted to make sure, they said, that the films were not objectionable or any- thing. The board of censorship was kept busy during the last few weeks of the session affording the Delegates and Senators private showings of the flim. Victor in Fight Unsettled. ‘The consensus of the General As- sembly was that the pictures do not settle” the controversy over who won the fight. Many arguments developed between Dempsey and Tunney fans after they had viewed the pictures, and during the heat of debate on the floor over such problems of state as consti- tutional amendments, highways and schools, members could be seen banging their fists on their desks and conversing in firm tones over how low were the low blows to Tunney's mid-section, and | how long the count of the referce as| Tunney lay on the canvas. Legislators often gathered in the cor- ridors and demonstrated just how Tunney won from Dempsey, as they saw it, or how Dempsey could come back if he wanted to. And they went home still contending that the films don't prove anything one way or the other. Retired Editor Dies WILLIAM BARNUM. WILLIAM BARNUM. EX-EDITOR, 1S DEAD Had Served With Carnegie Institution Here 20 Years. William Barnum, 77, former editor of publications of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, died at his home, 1529 Q street, today. He had been in failing health for several years. He suffered a stroke of paralysis Saturday night. Dr. John O. Knott, Holy Land explorer and Bible authority, declared yester- day at the Y. M. C. A. that “the Amer- dcan people ist on knowing how far,| if at all, a man in the White House | would be influenced either consciously | or unconsciously by the ecclesiastical | body to which he has given his ad-| herence.” Dr. Knott, in adressing a large au- dience of Sunday School teachers and church officials, said: “It is a misuse of the term ‘intol- erance’ 1o say that any mention of a man’s religious beliefs in connection with his candidacy for the presidency of our Nation is narrow or contrary to our Constitution. “Whether a man prefers form and| ual or whether he discards them is| ©f 1o consequence to the American people; nor will they quibble over his interpretation of the Bible, 50 long as his morals are sound. But our people €0 insist on knowing whether he would | be_influenced by his church.” Dr. Knott has been conducting al les of lectures on the Bible at the| C. A. He was a member of th ©official party whi witnessed the open. ing of Tut-enkh-Amen's tomb and in- troduced Howard Carter on his sub-| sequent American lecture tour, Mr, Barnum was at one time connect- ed with the Government Printing Office and later with the United States Fish Commission. While with the commis- sion the late Dr. Charles D. Waléott, then secretary of Carnegie Institution, called him to take over the duties of chief clerk and editor of publications at the institution. He served there 20 years, Mr. Barnum held many important offices in Masonic bodies. He was a member and past master of B. B. French Lodge, No. 15, F. A. A. M.; was past high priest of Columbia Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, and past grand high priest of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons in the District. He also was a member of Washington Commandry, No. 1, Knights Templar, and a 32nd degree Scottish Rite Mason. He served as grand high priest, R. A. M. in 1900. Mr. Barnum is survived by three sis- ters. Miss Lurancy Barnum, Miss Mary C. Barnum and Mrs. Harriet E. Jones, with whom he made his home: three nephews, Edwin H. Barnum of this city, Willlam H.

WASHINGTON, D. C. REJECTS PETITION OF STRASSBURGER Pennsylvania Court Holds Radio Affidavit Is lllegal. By the Associated Press, HARRISBURG, Pa., March 12.—The Dauphin County Court teday dismissed the petition of Ralph Beaver Strass- burger, which sought to compel Charles Johnson, secretary of the common- wealth, to accept his nomination peti- tions as delegate at large to the Repub- liean national convention. ‘The decision set at naught the efforts of the wealthy Norristown publisher to have his name placed on the ballot through court proceedings and the use of radio to transmit his signature and a power of attorney to sign his petitions from Europe to the United States. The Election Bureau had refused to accept his nominating petitions because they were signed by Norman B. Wam- sher, using a cabled power of attorney from Strassburger. The burean held that the cabled power of attorney was illegal and insufficient for the purposes of the signing of the petitions. The State held that the radio af- fidavit was irrelevant to the case and legally amounted to nothing more than a facsimile of the original. When Str: urger was finally de- cided upon a member of the “big seven” it was too lats for him to return to the United States from Europe to sign personally his nomination petition. As a result of the court’s decision, W. D. B. Ainey, chairman of the Public Service Commission, will take Strass- burger's place on the Republican dele- gate at large siate LINCOLN UNIVERSITY ALUMNI WILL MEET Graduates to Make Plans for Aid- ing Endowment of In- stitution.

Pennsylvania Railroad, brought out that Penrod was at one time a member of the United Mine Workers. At the opening of the investigation John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, charged that the rail- roads had tried to break the union and nullify the Jacksonville agreement in order to reduce fuel prices. Sagle sald that 95 per cent of the Roseville Co. coal had gone to the Pennsylvania Railroad for the past 10 vears, but no sales had been made since they were forced to close down in 1926, Picture of Misery. A report drawing a general picture of misery and horror in the soft coal regions of Pittsburgh and central Penn- ;vh-nnln was before the committee to- ay. Made public by the subcommittee which recently visited the region for a first hand inspection, the report re- lated stories of men and women ‘“run- ning wild.” of the “brutality of the coal and iron police,” family evictions, deaths, shootings, attacks on young girls, and cases of extreme poverty. While little time was given by the subcommittee to the economic side of the controversy between the union and the coal operators, the members de- clared they had “every reason to be- lieve that the coal industry generally in this country 5 not in a prosperous condition.” Searching Probe Advised. ‘The report urged that the investiga- tion by the whole committee, there- fore, be “searching and severe in every detail, looking forward tg some solution by legislation that will ‘put the great coal industry of America on a reason- ably prosperous basi: The subcommittee directed its prin- cipal fire against the Ohio and Penn- sylvania Relief Society, whose “slimy trail” of duplicity, it said, was found everywhere in the Pittsburgh “district. ‘The attitude of some of the operators also was criticized by the subcommit~ tee, which, on the other hand, was “impressed with the courage and deter- mination of the miners to stand up for what they believe was their due, an American wage, making possible an American standard of living.” The conditions complained of most were found at Broughton, Harmarville, Bruceton and Pricedale. Shooting Up Homes Alleged. A “reglon of terror” existed at the first_ named place where a mine is operated by the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Corporatian, the report declared. Women there were found to be “still nervous from the shooting up of their homes.” ~ Wives of miners at Bruceton testified that thelr homes had been “shot_up." Declaring the “brutality of the coal and iron police shocked every member of the committee,” the report related the testimony of Mrs. Clarissa Englert of Broughton, that these men at one time shot into a group of school chil- dren. At Pricedale, witnesses accused them of taking young girls away from their homes and attacking them. Joe Lubresky of Harmarville said that he and his wife, while ill, had been evicted from a home owned by the Consumers Mining Co., and forced to move into unheated barracks. His wife | died 6 days later. Wife Tells of Conditions. Mrs. Eva Barr of Pricedale, a recent witness before the investigating com- mittee here, told the subcommittee that her eight children were “generally in rags" because her husband's daily wage of $4.08 went for food. Evidence of bootlegging also was un- covered, and the subcommittee de- clared that in one section “it seemed as if the morals of that community had been broken down entirel, As to the Ohio and Pennsylvania Relief Soclety, the report declared that the more suffering and distress the sub- committee found the more sure it was to find this organization “active, offe ing food and clothing to the distressed miners and at the same time preach- ing its doctrine of disloyalty, the break- Ing of injunctions by mass picketing and the destruction of the organiza- tion of the United Mine Workers of America, together with the destruction of the Government itself.” Miners Against Society. At no place, the report continued, did the investigators find any evidence that the coal and iron police or deputy sherifts had striven to curb the activ ities of *“this disloyal organization.’ The miners out of work, however, were said to have worked toward ridding the Pittsburgh district of the soclety’s agents. Describing the five or six hundred coal police maintained by the operators in the region as very big men, most of them weighing between 200 ‘and 250 pounds, the report said their victims were found everywhere, many of them still carrying scars from the “rough treatment” they had received. Relating thelr experience at the mines of H. F. Baker, president of the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Corporation, who protested at the inquiry here Sat urday against the taking of testimony from a miner's wife in the absence of defense lawyers, the subcommittee said the operator was “surprised to learn MONDAY, MARCH 12, MORE TIME ASKED | 1928. TOVACATE MARKET Merchants Tell Smoot His Bill Does Injustice to Dealers. ‘The Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association today sent to Senator Smcot, chairman of the Federal Build- ing Commission, a letter requesting that an amendment be made to the joint resolution, now pending in Congress, authorizing evacuation of Center Mar- ket January 1, 1929, in order that an injustice might not be done to mer- chants now located there. Postpone- ment of the date of evacuation was asked. ' A similar request was made Satur- day by the Washington Chamber of Commerce. ‘The petition by the merchants' or- ganization, signed by Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, president, states that “we feel an undue hardship will be imposed upon a number of merchants, members of this association, who now are lo- cated in Center Market, if the joint resolution 8. J. 50, which you recently ntroduced in the Senate, is passed. “The bill provides that on and after January 1, 1929, the Government will cease 10 maintain a public market on Pennsylvania avenue between Seventh and Ninth streets, which will necessi- tate merchants now renting quarters in Center Market obtaining new locations, and in the case of the larger concerns erectin; new buildings. “In order to give these merchants sufficient time to provide themselves with new quarters, we respectfully sug- gest that the date of the termination of this market be noted in the bill as not less than one year from the dat of this bill becoming enacted into law. A copy of the letter was sent to Representative Elliott, chairman of the House public buildings and grounds committee. the committee was shocked by condi- ltr;ns they found” on some of his prop- erty. Here the members saild they saw men housed in “buildings that were filthy, poorly ventilated and not fit for human_beings to occup; Mr. Baker, the report said. had told the investigators that he had visited his properties at least once a week, was familiar with the conditions of the men, had no apologies to make and “gave the committee to understand there would be no effort to improve the living conditions.” CHAMBER EXPI NS STAND. Pittsburgh Commerce Body Tells of Coal Field Survey. PITTSBURGH, March 12 (#).—Refer- ence at the Senate committee mine hear- ing the the part played by the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce in an investiga- tion of the coal situation here in 1925 today brought a statement from the chamber that the survey was made because business men felt “the cham- ber should take some action in regai to the condition of the coal industry T. P. Gaylord, president of the cham- ber, said the survey cost $18,926 and, because of the fact that the organiza- tion’s budget was restricted, the ex- pense was met by “a preliminary sub- seription of $5.000 from the Pittsburgh Coal Co.. with the expectation that the rest of the fund would be raised from other sources, including other oper: torsr E. S. McCullough was employed to help- form a “local operators’ union” and to assist miners in organizing “a district union,” as provided in the survey plan. “Unfortunately,” it was added, “the manner in which McCul- lough conducted his work destroyed all confidence in him and he was dismissed because no one felt like making further contributions. * ¢ * The Pittsburgh Coal Co. thereupon liquidated the bal- ance of the indebtedness to protect the chamber from an embarrassing situ- atlon.” ‘The chamber coal survey and Me- Cullough were mentioned in Senate committee testimony by officials of the Pittsburgh Coal Co. Union Pickets Arrested. WASHINGTON, Pa. March 12 (#). —Twenty-eight union mine pickets were arrested by State troopers today at the Gilmore mine near Venice, charged with unlawful assemblage.
