February 12.— A group of New York writers, who went into the Kentucky-Tennessee coal fields to give food to striking miners, have started homeward, a little worse for wear. They plan to stop in Wash- ington to urge a Senate investigation of the mine area conditions. They said they had an appointment with Senators La Follette. Cutting and Nor- ris immediately upon their arrival at ine Capitai. Waldo Frank, chairman of the party, was nursing a scalp wound he claimed was inflicted by members of a Pine- ville, Ky. delegation of citizens and officers, which escorted the writers to the Tennessee State line at midnight Wlednesdhy and advised them not to return. Says Two Men Fought. Botn rrank and Allen Taub, inter- national labor defense attorney, said they were beaten by unidentified mem- bers of the party after a caravan of automobiles, carrying the writers, stop- ped on a high mountain near the Ten- nessee border and all automobile lights had been turned out. Taub suffered a bruised nose. At Pineville, however, T. Edward Asher said he was in the car with Frank and Taub and claimed the two men engaged in a fight. Asher said Frank and Taub were separated by members of the escort and no one in the car struck or attacked the men. Frank denied the fight. The midnight ride through the Ken- tucky mountains followed a day in | which the writers had partly distrib- uted three truck loads of food and been taken from their hotel rooms to Police Court to face charges of “dis- orderly conduct and a public nuisance.” The charges were dismissed. One Left Behind. Besides Frank those en route to Washington are Malcolm Cowles, Dr. Elsie Reed Mitchell, Mary Heaton Vorse, Quincey Howe, Edmund Wilson, John Henry Hammond, jr.; Polly Boy- den, Charles Walker, Adelaide Walker and Liston M. Oak. Harold Hickerson, playright. was the only member left behind. He is in jail at Pineville charged with criminal syndicalism after making a speech. HPi said he would stay “and face the musie." | POLICE WILL PROTECT FOXHALL PLAYGROUND | 20 New Members Voted Into Citi- zens’ Association at Meeting Featured by Entertainment. The voting in of 20 new members. the acceptance of a report promising police protection for the new play- ground in Foundry Valley and the filing of two proposed constitutional amend- ments constituted the brief schedule of business at Wednesday night's meeting of the Foxhall Village Citizens' Asso- ciation. Entertainment constituted the major item on the association's pro- gram. At the request of the association, the United States Park Police have placed the new playground adjoining the vil- lage on their rounds and r.gular visits will be made by the patrolling guards, the association was advised. Hereto- fore the playground has been un- guarded, despite the fact that it is located in a thick woods some distance from the highway. The Chesapeake & Potomac Tele- phone Co.

By the Associated Press. LONDON, February 12.- The Daily Express sald today that Alice Silver- thorne, niece of Mrs, Ogden Armour and formerly the Comtesse Frederick de Janze, is to marry Raymond de Trafford, whom she was charged with shooting in a train in 1927. She was tried in France on the shoot- ing charge and acquitted. Formal notice of the marriage will be given in Paris today. the newspaper said, and the wedding will take place within two weeks. The Express recalled frequent rumors that Miss Silverthorne, who resumed her maiden name after her divorce in 1927, and Trafford were going to marry and’ that these were always denied. During the past four years, the news- paper added, Miss Silverthorne had traveled widely, spending several months in Khodesia, Africa; had frequently met Trafford and had never renounced her affection for him. Reports were current two years ago that Trafford, youngest brother of Sir Humphrey Edmund de Trafford, and Miss Silverthorne, formerly of Chicago, were engaged to be married. Miss Silverthorne shot him and her- self in a compartment of a French train in 1927. She and Count de Janze were divorced in the same year If's Vacuum Sealed BROWNING & BAINES THE PERFECT .
