B2 53 TELL OF RIOT INWHICH 5 DIED Judge Continues Probe of Strike Battle in North Carehia. By the Assnclated Press. MARION, N.

Harding continues his in- | vestigation here into the deaths. Sent to Marion by Gov. O. Max Gard- ner to serve in the capacity of magis- trate, Judge Harding yesterday proceed- ed with hearing evidence in the cases of 38 strikers and 15 officers, including Sheriff Adkins and 14 deputies. the day was occupied by testim strikers or strike sympathizers, the lone exception being W. L. Hicklin, Ashoville newspaper reporter, who witnessed the fight. First Volley From Gates. Kicklin testified the first volley of shots came from the mill gates, whfre] the sheriff and his deputies werc sta- tioned. He also said the strikers were not armed, but many of them carried sticks and stones and appeared to be “very determined men.” Spurgeon Bradley, a striker, testified | he had watched the shooting, believing the sherifi’'s men were using blanks. He told of a scuffle between Sheriff Adkins and John Jonas, one of the men who died from wounds received in the fight. Bradley said Sam Vickers, an- other of those slain, was shot down some distance away from the scuffle. Strikers on Saturday, testified that Adkins had shot Vickers while holding | him away with his left hand. .

One of the chief matters discussed was_the recent proposal by President Hoover of the United States that Chief Justice William H. Taft, Elihu Root or Charles E. Hughes act as mediator in the boundary dispute with Guatemala AMUSEMENTS NATIONAL—“Mareo Millions.> ‘The Theater Guild presents, as the opening attraction of its first Washing- ton subscription season, Eugene O'Neill’s “Marco Millions” at the National ‘Theater. The genesis of Eugene O'Nelll's idea, which led him to go fishing in search of an ancient Babbit and finally, after some casting about through antiquity, to snare Marco Polo on his barbed hook out of the thirteenth century and to land him on the modern stage, with the able assistance of the Theater Guild, is one of the many entrancing thoughts that are set in motion after witnessing this play. The schoolboy's idea of Marco Polo conceives this ancient Venetian as the Christopher Columbus of his time: a man with a soul that urged him at least to break away from the relative isolation of Venice, to start in the direction of the rising sun and to keep going. And the notes he made of what he found and what he saw have brought him down through subsequent history as a re- porter with a “nose for news.” If, in- cidentally, he amassed worldly goods on his quest and came back to the home town as the original boy who made good, that fact has never been held against him. Mr. O'Nelll, however, has tumbled over another idol and does it delight- fully. His Marco Polo symbolizes the generally accepted_theory of evolution of the modern Babbit, whose soul fades with his youth and his conquest of materialism. ~His dramatization of the wanderings of Marco becomes a satire on Babbitry and, incidentally, religious orthodoxy. Mr. O'Neill, nat- urally, does what he sets out to do and does it well. If there is a flaw in his philosophy it lies in depriving Marco Polo and his brethren of any good points whatever. They do have their | good points. Using a term that con- | notes something very definite, they “get things done,” for ‘instance. And if there were no one to “get things done” in this world, where would any of us, including Eugene O'Neill, be? Mr. O'Neill's Marco Polo makes up in symbolism and color what it lacks in historicity. The original Marco did not cover so much ground in such a from his office in Ra- | Sixth Presbyterian Church last night. | short time as Mr. O'Neill's Marco and if the original Marco had any love affairs en route he failed to jot them down. But this latter deficiency is not incongruous. It is doubtful if Mr. O'Neili's_ Marco would Invest in First Trust Notes Yielding 67 Interest 0 Money to Loan on Real Estate J.

SHUBERT-BELASCO—“The Middle ‘Wateh.” British Navy regulations do not con- tain any instructions for the entertain- ment of ladies overnight on battleships. In fact, the makers of these regulations probably never thought of such a con- tingenc: g Hence, when ladies do spend the night on a battleship there are likely to ‘be complications no end. All of which is exemplified in & thoroughly delightful manner by “The Middle ‘Watch,” highly amusing and romantic work of Ian Hay and Stephen King- Hall, this week’s offering at the Shu- bert-Belasco. Three ladies attend a party aboard notes, evldent C. H, M. 8. Falcon, & crulser on the China- station. One of them is invited to stay for dinner by her fiance. The chaperon is not agreeable to this ar- rangement, for she recalls a similar ex~ perience 'hen girl friend was forced to spend the boar Am troy However, there is a mishap to the hunch and the three ladies are forced to remain aboard the ship. There fol- lows a, les of incidents which involve not only the officers of the Falcon, but cmnnundu-in-ch\et of the fleet. A climax is reached when the admiral's wife and daughter suddenly appear and the former, in righteous indignation, de- clares she will leave for England im- mediately. A rather ugly situation is saved, however, when the chaperon, ‘who momentarily disappeared aboard the ship, returns to the scene and recognizes the admiral’s wife'as the girl who had spent a night aboard the American destroyer. Confronted with her own exfl:flence, the wife quickly relents and there is & happy ending to the dilemma. Arch Selwyn and Charles B. Coch- ran, the producers, have chosen an ex- cellent cast. for “The Middle Watch.” ‘Their efforts and their efforts last night won frequent applause and laughter from a large audience. There is some- thing reminiscent of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas in this modern satire on navy life. While the characters may not be quite so cleverly drawn, they are, nevertheless, extremely interesting and amusing. Interpreted by an excellent cast, “The Middle Watch” drew rounds of TUESDAY, OCTOBER ‘8, - 1929, l a'large audience.
