He sent telegram of re- grets, however, and this may have pleased some of the guests equally well or better for, according to those in touch with things political, the time has passed when the voter likes to sit and listen for a couple of hours to some spellbinder from another part of the country trying to tell him how he ought to vote The outing was not without its political flavor though, for Congress- man E. Hart Fenn of this state, took oceasion to pat the administration on the back and to deny the charges that it has done nothing.

Nineteen hun- dred and twenty-one was the health- iest year in the United States. Liquor as a contributing factor in poverty is now negligible. Over $2.500,000.000 wasted for drink has been turned into useful channels, Bank deposits and savings have increased, and the net increased wealth of the country last year was $8,000,000,000 “The attempt of the liquor interests to nullify this law is a challenge to red-blooded Americans.

The writer, however, quotes J. B.

Children in Hospital To Have Story Teller Sydney, N. 8. W,, May 22. (By Mail)—The appointment of a profes- sional story-teller for children in hos- pitals-——regarded as a unique move in educational activities—has been an- nounced by the New South Wales Education Department The idea was conceived by W. A. Thompson, a state school teacher, about 18 months ago and since then he has been visiting hospitals volun- tarily weekly and telling the child in- mates stories. His efforts met with such success that hospital authorities prevailed upon the educational de- partment to appoint Thompson to car- ry on his work permanently.

With not a single arrest made since the massacre of last Thursday when at least 19 men were Kkilled after strike sympathizers stormed the Les- ter mine and with county officials making no visible effort to place the blame the investigating is being done by state and federal agents, Govt, Agents Active, Representatives of the department of justice, department of labor the state's attorney general's office and the adjutant general are quietly delv- ing into the cloak of secrecy which 80 far has surrounded the identity of the 4,000 men who marched from Herrin in broad daylight, took more than 50 wunarmed men prisoner, marched them back down the road into a wood, and there killed 19 and wounded nearly as many more, Yesterday six men of Williamson county—three miners, a merchant, an electrician and the superintenflent of the Herrin water works—were sol- emnly impaneled, listened to the evid- ence of witnesses called by Coroner Willlam McCowen and returned their verdict. s They found and so recorded, that (. K. McDowell, murdered superin- tendent of the Lester mine, killed a union miner on Wednesday the day before the massacre. Of the other dead 19 in all including two other strikers, the jury found they came to their deaths by gunshot wounds in- flicted by unknown persons. 16 Victims Buried. Yesterday morning sixteen un- known dead, all non-union workers and guards at the Lester mine were burfed by the county in potters field. On a bleak hillside, beneath a broil- ing sun union miners led by State Senator Willlam Sneed, dug 16 shal- low graves—four rows of four each. The bodies of the maseacre victims in plain caskets were placed side by side on the parched grass. Four Protestant ministers of Herrin con- ducted the brief burial service, while a hundred overall clad miners looked on. On a distant hillside three wom- en in starched summer dresses, fur- nished the only touch of color. Queer Funeral Service. The ministerial quartet sang ‘‘Near- er My God To Thee" read a psalm delivered a prayer and in a curiously abbreviated form of burfal service committed the bodies to the earth but omitted to commit the souls to God That omission, more than any oth- er development, sums up Williamson county's verdict on the imported workers from Chicago who attempted to mine coal when the union said no coal should be mined No mention of the dead nor the manner of their death was made at the graveside Ministers Hurry Away. The brief service over, the minis- ters hurried away to their walting flocks. The overall clad miners shov- eled the red clay over the rough pine boxes. No flowers graced the graves, but at the head of each the undertak- er stuck a little metal sign with a glass covered card. On each card was a number and the date ‘“June 22, 1922, for each numbered card the undertaker preserved a description of the men buried beneath it relatives should appear to claim him. 200 GOLFERS ATTEND Hillcrest Club At Kansas City Scenc of Tourney.
