INRENEWED MINE WAR IN KENTUCKY Deputy Sheriff and Other Of- ficers Ambushed by Men Near Harlan. MACHINE GUNS USED IN BATTLE ON ROAD Possemen, Seeking Reinforcements, Tell of Seeing Dead and Wounded on Ground. HARLAN, Ky, May 5.—A deputy sheriff is known to have been slain and several other officers and several members of a crowd of unidentified men are believed to have been killed in a clash at Evarts, about 10 miles from | here, today. Authorities here said it was a renewal of disorders resulting from the | laber situation in the Harlan coal fields. Deputies George Dawn and Estes | ox, the only 2 of the force of 12 deputies who returned here, said Deputy Jim Danlels, 37, was killed. Sheriff J. H. Blair sent a force of about 25 deputies, armed with machine guns, tear bombs and rifics, to Evarts and ordered them to use whatever means necessary to restore order. The Lynch Police Department sent a squad of of- ficers. Deputies Are Ambushed. With bullet wounds in the arm, side and face, Cox said the deputies were returning to Harlan, and near Evarts, a crowd of men hidden behind rail- road ties and trees, opened fire. Dan- iels grabbed a machine gun and leaped from the automobile but before he had gmed to fire he was shot through the ead. Dawn and the other deputies re- turned the fire from the other side of the road. Cox said he and Dawn hur- ried to Harlan for reinforcements wnd that when they left at least five depu- ties and three or four of the attacking band were lying dead or wounded on the road. Cox sald Deputy Ott Ice was one of the first to fall and was believed dead. Scene of Frequent Disorders.

Authority Believes Law Would Be Ruled Constitn- tional by Supreme Court. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Dangerous precedence has been es- tablished by the Senate in dealing with | members-elect charged with excessive campaign expenditures, Prof. Charles A. Beard, formerly of Columbia Uni- versity, told the Nye Campaign Expenai- tures Committee today in urging a prompt revision of Federal election leg- islation. “A revision of Pederal election legis- lation has become imperative.” Prof. | Beard said. “According to careful esti- mates, cam expenditures show a marked tendency to increase and these outlays contribute more to ballyhoo and i ::u:mnn politics than to the spread of eas. “The Vare contest in Pennsylvania 1 probably cost a thousand times as much jas the Lincoln-Douglas debates—and | merely added confusion, if not corrup- tion to the public and private life of the State. “In its dealing with such :?ud tures, the Senate has establ lero"ua mnedenl:cu. It has seat Senators-elect, ponunn{ their cre- dentials, on the ground that they had spent t00 much money in their cam- paign, and yet it refuses to prescribe in ]ldnnm the conditions of exclusion so | that candidates may know what to ex- |p.el. In other words the Senate is | making harsh law by resolutions. _This Ixepl‘mtl the quintessence of arbitrary government.” Precision Urged in Laws. Prof. Beard said that there should be precise legislation informing candidates with respect to practices and expendi- tures which will lead to exclusion.

Glen Kidston, were killed today when their airplane crashed near Mauba, 16 miles from here in a storm. T. A. Gladstone, the other occupant of the plane, was a business associate of Kidston and he had been accom- panying the millionaire airmen on a tour. ‘The two men were scheduled to leave Johannesburg this morning for Pleter- martizburg. Van Reenan is 238 miles from Durban and is 5520 feet above sea level at the summit of the pass over the Drakensberg Range, which separates Natal from the Free State. 1 The two bodies were crushed almost | beyond recognition. The theory is that the pilot, flying in the teeth of the gale through the dust-laden air, saw the peaks of the Drakensburg Mountains | rise suddenly in front of them and was unable to climb over. | Lieut.

Hal- lick, said today the story was a hoax. A report he was robbed of $250,000 in bonds while motoring near Holbrook, Ariz, recently also was described as a fabrication. Hallick faces a $250,000 breach of promise suit by Elene Aristi, 21, film actress. Addressing Burnett Wolfson, her at- torney, and reporters, Hallick said the story of his inheritance was originated by a friend in Salinas, Calif., April fool joke and that he “liked the attention “Stra money," e offered me and frien said, as 1 wanted a hotel owner and broker in New York.

Hogan said today that he planned no further move in the case and that the mandate of the Court of Appeals would be auto- matically handed down after the ex- piration of the stay period. The time for executicn of the sen- tence given the former cabinet officer, however, is problematical. That lies within the discretion of the District of Columbia Supreme Court Justice who will commit him. Justice Hitz, the trial judge, who has since been elevated to the Court of Ap- peals, said at the time of Fall's convic- tion that if execution of the sentence were to come then, he would not send Fall to jail. Justice Hitz made a note to that effect in the record and the judge who commits him may follow his recommendation. Hopes for Hoover Pardon.

Adams, Jr., sec- retary of the committee, snapped up the offer. The two went to Health Officer Wil- liam C. Fowler with a proposition that Dr. Jarvis be allowed to spread “red squill” around the battlegrounds in large quantities. The rats eat this, and subsequentl die of paralysis. Dr. Jar- vis succeeded in persuading Dr. Fowler that this was not a poison. Dr. Fow- ler, therefore, withdrew his objections. From now on the weapon will be red ‘I"IPER” FOR RATS IND.C.MARKET WITH “RED SQUILL” board, which apparently will have free sway in arriving at the answers to the questions in any way it es.
