EQUIPHENT IS SAID 10 BE IMPAIRED R. R Strikers Claim Roads Are in Bad Condition ‘Washington, Aug. 9 (By Assoclated Press) —Leaders of the striking rall- road shop crafts men in the city oc- cupied themselves today with prepa- rations for the géneéral meeting of railroad union officials they expect to hold Friday and with the {ssuance of statements declaring rallroad equip- ment to be in a dangerously deteri- orated condition, B. M. Jewell, of chairman the strikers, received notice from Warren #peaier, Stone, chief of the engineers’ brother- Jood, that all of the other brother- hood heads would accept the invita- tion for the conference. § T. H. Davis, chairman of the gen- ‘ul shop crafts committee of the Pennsylvania system, headed a dele- gation representing men at work which called at the White House and asked President Harding not to coun- tenance any strike settlement which would injure the senlority status of men who.remained in raflroad service in spite of the strike. About 65 per- cent. of the Pennsylvania shop em- ployes, Mr. Davis asserted, stayed on the job and 4 great many of the orig- inal strikers had returned. Mr. Jewell and other union officlals laid before the labor department a protest against the alleged importa- tion of strikebreakers from FEurope by railroads in deflance of immigra- tion laws. The immigration author- itiés sald the complaint had not beén verified. Mr. Jewell's statement on condition of railroad equipment said that re- ports of the American rallroad asso- ciation on repaired locomotives and cars since the strike were incomplete and were one of the many examples of the methods by which the railroads were attempting to drive the people and lull them into a sense of security regarding the railroad situation.” BRITISH CRUISER IS IN DISTRESS Naval Vessel, White Elephant Since War, Runs Aground New York, Aug. 9.—The British eruiser Raleigh, which is aground in the 8traits of Belle Isle, touched at ‘Washington last May, the first British naval vessel of her class to visit the capital since 1814, Known as one of the white ele- phants of the British navy, the Ra- leigh, a vessel of 7,750 tons, was built during the war to hunt for German raiders. She was reported to be cost- ly for @ light cruiser and too light for battle cruiser squadron service. The Raleigh was launched in Sep- tember, 1919, Taking the water at a time when there were no more German raiders to hunt, the vessel gave the navy a hard job to find suitable work for her. She had been given 7.5 inch guns mucH heavier than usually are placed on light cruisers so that she might be ablé to outrange any common raider the enemy might send out. She car- ‘ried also anti-aircraft guns. WINS BENNETT CUP American Balloonist Wins Trophy Named for joted Publisher in 585 Mile Flight.

NEW USE FOR HOOTCH Distilling Company In Great Britain Adds Whiskey and Vegetables and Makes Motor Fuel. Old Orchard, Me, Aug. 9.—Dis- tillers of America pluck up their “spirits” despite prohibition. Thelr British brethren have been experi- menting successfully with whiskey, plus certain vegetables, as a motor fuel. At the annual meeting of the Dis- tillers’ Company, Ltd, the vast whiskey combine which has now a capital aggregation of nearly $40,000,- 000, the managing director intimated that“they had erected a mixing plant at their Hammersmith distillery which was regularly supplying to a limited number of users their new motor fuel. The fuel had been tebted with most satisfactory results, and they were going to erect further plants at ‘their distilleries in Liverpool and Glasgow. An Edinburgh correspondent states that it has beeén known for two years that the great company has been pursuing elaborate experiments with whiskey and vegetables, and that suc- cess means the new fuel at a price probably 50 per cent. below current petrol prices. The vegetable from which the extract is secured for com- bining with whiskey is of Indlan and Ceylon growth. PROF.

Bernard Pattison, a young farmer, near Savage, Md., Mrs. Mary Belle Pease and Willlam Carter Cronmfiller are under arrest in Ellicott City, Mrs. Pease's love for her ungle, who was held for the crime in the hope she would confess in order to free him, and the testimony of her son led to the arrests. Now Mrs. Pease and Cronmiller accuse each other of killing Pattison, The two had been carrylng on a love affair for filve years, and this was the cause for Mrs. Pease's hus- band leaving her. In some way Pat- tison learned of the affair, and it is supposed this was the reason.for the murder, The dead man had always carried a stick and Mrs. Pease's son, the only one of her three children left her after the separation from her hus. band, told officers he saw his mother burning the stick. They took her into custody, and after severe questioning she confess- ed, according to the police. She said her uncle was {innocent and that Cronmiller was really the murderer. Pattison had heen confined in a hos- pital for the insane several times, hut shortly before his death was discharg- ed as cured. Mrs. Pease and Cronmil- ler, however, feared he might bfeak his promise to keep their secret and therefore they decided to kill him, the woman is quoted as confessing. “On the night of May 11,” her statement continues, “I met Pattison in the woods. Cronmiller was there at the time. Pattison again threaten- ed to tell what he had seen. Then Cronmiller took him further into the woods. When he returned alone, Cronmiller gaid: ‘Well, it's all over. I have shot Pattison. He will not trou- ble us any more'.” On ' the strength of-this story the police have arrested Cronmiller. He ~lenies any part in the killing and in- sists Mrs. Pease told him she had herself shot Pattison.
