DAN' , Va., January 17.—A lull which has existed almost a week in the textile strike front here was broken today when automobiles traveling the highway near Schoolfield were stoned, according to reports received by Lind- sey Moore, county police commissioner, who is conducting an investigation. At least three cars were assaulted by a Kt‘ftu% of boys and young men, it was stated. Man and Wife Stoned. W. T. Dodson, a non-union textile worker, reported that his car, in which he and his wife were returning home from the mills, was stoned. He said ke was struck on the arm, but unin- jured, while Mrs. Dodson was greatly unnerved. Two cther cars were stoned and the windshields and windows smashed, but the identity of the occu- pants is not known because they sped on without stopping and no_complaint by them was later filed. No arrests had been made early tonight. Indictments involving 13 men charged with attacking C. W. McKellar and his daughter Irene, mill workers, which were tentatively set for trial Monday, | have been set back on the Corporation Court docket until January 27. Four men charged with arson in con- nection with a fire at the home of Mrs. W. T. Dooley, a_textile operative, re- cently, after which the porch was found sprinkled with gasoline, will go on trial Monday. Injunction Made Permanent. Judge Henry Leigh, in a decree today, made permanent a_temporary injunc- tion against the local textile union prohibiting interference with workers entering and leaving the mill gates, the jurist holding that since the in- junction petition had not been answered ihis fact must be accepted as a con- fession of the accuracy of the allega- tions set forth. o A decision on the perpetuation or annulment of a similar injunction granted by the Pittsylvania County Circult Court and applying to School- field, which is in the county, is ex- pected Monday. PORTER ARRESTED IN BAYONET DEATH Colored Man Tells of Battle After Celebration by Political Club in Harlem. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 17.—Still clad in evening dress a man was found dead today in Harlem, slain by the thrust of a bayonet. The victim, John Donnelly, 25, polit- jcal worker, truck man and one-time policeman, was the victim of a brawl which followed a celebration by the Patrick S. Dowd Association, & political club named for an insurgent Demo- cratic alderman. Police arrested as the wielder of the bayonet Stephen Statton, 25-year-old colored porter in the club building, who told of making & lone stand against a dozen drunken men who had returned | to the club rooms after the ball and had objected to the noise he was making. Statton said he had retreated, fear- ful of his life, to the office of the super- | intendent and had locked the door. | The men crashed in the glass, he said, | | Surgeon General Cummingl Says No Epidemic Has Affected Capital. Dr. Hugh 8. Cumming, surgeon - eral of the United States Public Health Service, has started an international investigation into reports of “influenza” abroad and a form of cold with fever which he sald was becoming quite prevalent in certain parts of this coun- try. There no influenza epidemic here now, he emphasized. Dr. Cumming has cabled the minister of Health of the United Kingdom at London for more definite reports of the iliness in Great Britain, which news dispatches describe as “influenza.” Dr. Cumming expects to receive & reply by Monday morning at least. Inquiry in This Section. An investigation also is being con- ducted by the Public Health Service into the exact nature of an illness which seems now to be quite prevalent in this section, and is being reported from other parts of the country, Dr. Cumming said. It seems something like a cold, or old-fashioned xrlee, and some doctors have gone so far as to call it a mild form of inflaenza. From Annapolis yesterday came re- ports that nearly 200 midshipmen were sick from what Comdr. Donald B. Beary, aide to the superintendent of the academy, characterized as “influenza.” Further dispatches from Annapolis ex- plained, however, that none of the cases was regarded as serious. Mrs. Robison, wife of Rear Admiral Samuel S. Robi- son, superintendent of the academy, was reported to be one of the patients. Dr. W. C. Fowler, health officer of the District of Columbia, said that he had instituted a careful inquiry into the situation yesterday. He had heard from certain sources of {llness similar |to a severe cold, and he inquired of | his assistants who keep formal records | of all cases of real influenza. No Epidemic in D. C. “There is no evidence in our office of any kind of a real influenza epidemic | here in Washington,” said Dr. Fowler. “There is nothing to show that a genu- | ine influenza epidemic is threatened in any degree. There is nothing to | justify a scare.” | Every year, Dr. Fowler said, there are many similar cases. Some physicians here are describ- ing the disease which has fever along with symptoms of cold and a feeling of debilitation and weakness afterward as a mild form of influenza. Its symp- toms, however, are much milder than those of the scourge of influenza which swept the world in 1918, and all phy- sicians point out that there is a dif- ference in the two diseases. 'COLUMBIA SYSTEM BUSY ON TELEVISION ‘President Declares Broadcasting |. Chain Has Grown From 38 to 76 Stations in 1930. | By the Assoctated Press. NEW YORK, January 17.—When television arrives the Columbia Broad- casting System will be ready for fit, Willlam S. Paley, president, declared in his annual report to the board of di- rectors, made public today. “The broadcasting business has not suffered so severely as most others in 1930,” Mr. Paley said. “Our gross sales for the t year increased 58 per cent over 1929.” He announced the Columbia chain had grown in 1930 from 38 to 76 sta- tions, and said: “In addition to our ownership of as Predicted, Pages of Publication Reveal. By the Assoclated Press. PHILADELPHIA, January 17.—The quaintly printed pages of Poor Richard’s Almanak were brought to light on Ben- Jjamin Franklin’s 225th birthday annis versary today to show how he predicted remarkable occurrences. He fully satisfled any scoffers who may have felt that what he had fore- cast had not come to pass. In 1736 he wrote: 1. Before the middle of this year a wind will rise during which the waters of the sea and rivers will be in such manner raised that great part of the towns of Boston, Newport, New York and Philadelphia will be under water. 2. About the middle of the year a great number of vessels fully laden will be taken out of the ports aforesaid by a power with which we are not now at war and whose forces shall not be de- scribed or seen. 3. Not long after a visible army of 20,000 musketeers will land, some in Virginia and Maryland and in the low- er countries on both sides of Delaware, who will overrun the country and sorely annoy inhabitants. But the air in this climate will not agree with them so ill toward Winter they will die. In 1737 the Almanak set forth the following explanations: 1. The water of sea and river is raised in vapors by the sun, is formed into clouds and thence descends rain. When there is rain overhead the cities and gl.uxn on the earth are certainly under 2. The power with which we are not at war, but which it was sald would take many full-laden vessels out of our th ports is the wind, whose forces also are not described coming or going. 3. e army which it was sald would land in Virginia and the lower countries were not musketeers with guns, as some expected, but their namesakes in pronunciation, though truly spelt moschitos, armed only with a sharp sting. Every one knows they are fish before they fly, being bred in water, and therefore, may properly be said to land before they become gen- erally troublesome. Franklin's birthday is being cele- brated by the Poor Richard Club. The ceremonies include a short pro- gram at Independence Hall, where Mayor Harry A. Mackey will tap with a light hammer the sacred Liberty bell, 2-2-5. Wreaths from President Hoover and historical organizations then will be placed on Franklin's grave, at old Christ Church. Tonight a hotel ball room will be converted into a Colonial garden with flowering fountains, and 1,500 guests in silken knee breeches and voluminous skirts will be entertained by special features built around the modern ap- pliances of things that Franklin dis- covered or inaugurated. .

J, January 17.—8ir George Hubert Wilkins and several of his associates today inspected the prog- ress made in remodeling work on the Nautilus, the former Navy submarine 0-12, in which they expect to go to the North Pole next Summer. ‘The explorer was interested most in a stout steel tube which forms a sort of telescoping conning tower on the sub- marine. Inside the tube is & stout “cat- head” drill which will be used to bore through ice as thick as 13 feet when the submarine crew finds it necessary to_come to the surface. ntly towed The Nautilus was rece: from the Philadelphia Navy Yard across the Delaware River to the Mathis Yacht Bullding Co. shipyard here for its finishing touches. The job is expected to be completed by the end of February. Then the crafi will be taken back to the navy yard for supplies and leave for ice trials off the Newfoundland coast.
