ONE HADN'T HEARD OF CASE
ftifrtal Mteatch lo Kvenlna 1'ublle Lntner
XVimrfrmtm, W. VnM Feb. 51. Hopes
bf securing n jury lo try Sid Hatfield i
and his associates now rest with the
mountaineers from the remote sections
of the county, the denizens of the cabins
nd huts of the mountain slopes, who
are now on their way to court. Thev
reside in sections fnr back from the
railroads nnd could not be reached by
the deputy sheriffs until lnte cterdny.
When court convened this morninx
with sixteen men in the Jnrv box. it
was found that there were no talesmen
on hand for examination and court
promptly adjourned until 1 o'clock.
The talesmen nre coming in from dis
tant points and thev could not be hero
In time for the opening of court. A
week has now elapsed since the trial
started.
It has become apparent that it is
almost useless to summon the residents
of the towns of the county as these
Iiersons who are eligible for jury i.crv
ce cannot qualify by rcacon of their
kinship, their scruples acalnst capital
punishment, and also the fact that the
sensational battle at Matcwan has been
talked over so often that people have
formed their opinions already.
Back in the mounta'ns the case has
not been discussed so much. Many of
these mountaineers do not read or
write.
Yesterday afternoon a talesman,
Mosc Workman, who had been sum
moned la't week, reached court naving
been delayed in getting here on account
of the circuitous route he had to take.
Both the court and the counsel were
astounded when they learned that he
had never before heard of the gun bat
tle at Matcwan during which ten men
were killed. He explained that he did
not get any newspapers because he did
not read. His neighbors live so lis
ten t that ho seldom comes in contact
with them, affording little opportunity
for gossip.
His information concerning labor
unions was vague. Workman did not
have any bcruples aga nst the death
penalty and he was promptly accepted
bv both sides. It is from this clats of
talesmen that the court is hopeful f
securing n sufficient number of men 10
fill the box which will make it no-niblc
to start taking evidence within tic
next few days.
The bitterness here between the cnai
operators and the miners' union has
- ' ' I
been intensified by tho scnsation.il
charges which were made in statements
issued from their headnuartcru yester
day. The coal operators firbt issued a
statement in which they accused the
representative of the United Mine
Workers' Union of conducting a cam
paign of intimidation, committing acts
of brutality, cauting twenty murders,
arson and dynamiting. The law offi
cers of Mingo county, it wns alleged,
not only acquiesced, but aided in the
unlawful" methods of the miners' organ
ization. Th's drew forth an answer in which
the respons'blllty of the Btrlfe was put
at the door of the coal operators and it
wns "hnrced that Judge James Dam-
ron, who formerly was on the Circuit
Court bench here, maue n statement

also that thev offered Sheriff G. T.
Blankenshlp a $-10,000 bribe if he would
' nermit them t nlace machine guns
within the corporate lim'ts of Minco
county. Judge Dainron has since re
signed from the bcuch and is now nld-
ing in the prosecution.
SPEEDY HEARING IS ASKED
IN GRIFFITH SANITY CASE
Niece Requests Court to Give Quick
Trial of Pending Case
A request to continue the investiga
tion into the mental competency of
Joseph Griffith, an aged nnd wealthy
recluse of Wayne, has been made to
Judge McCullcn In Common I'lcas
1 Court No. 4 by former Judge James
Gay Gordon and John It. K. Scott.
The petitioning attorneys represent
Mrs. J. M. Kurtz, of Elkins Park, who
desires a guardian appointed for the
estate of Griffith, her uncle. The move
was opposed by Owen J. Roberts, coun
sel for L. Irving Iteichner, who had
been intrusted with the management
of the aged man's estate.
Mr. Iteichner, through his counsel,
questioned Judge McCulleu'a jurisdic
tion, contending that Mr. Griffith had
moved from Germantown to Wajne and
therefore was within the jurisdiction of
the Delaware county courts.
When Judge McCullen ruled that he
would continue healing testimony rel
ative to the aged man s mental condi
tion, beforo passing on the issue of
jurisdiction which was raited, counsel
for Iteichner nppeuled to the Statu Su
preme Court
This appeal hub bcMi ounshed by the
Supicme Court. No date has been bet
for the continued hearing.

DOLLARS for Best Last
Line
The liinpln' llm'rick award an
nounced today was mado by a vote of
'hose who attended the annual banquet
of tlio Frankford Grocers' Association
at .Moose Hall on Tuesday night. A

Tho award to bo announced tomor
row was made by a voto of those wlw
attended the monthly meeting of Frank
ford Post 211, American Legion, In tlic
Frankonl branch of tho frco Hbrarj
on Tuesday evening.
Talk about a "real" banquet, given
by "real" people. Well, the one held
Tuesday night by the Frankford
Grocers' Association at Moose Hall,
1314 North Broad street, was a real
one, If ever there was one.
And let us add tliat one of the things
that gave considerable gaycty to tho
entire affair was ,tho fact that all of
thoso present were given nn opportunity
to select the winner o the $100 prize
for the llmpln' lim'rick contest, who Is
announced today.
But what is more, we want lo thank
each and every one of those who voted
for the winner, because, you see, they
gave us the chance to drop right into
the midst of a group of girls and take
it from us, if any of these grocers had
seen these girls they, too. would have
wanted to be on the committee of one
that broke the news totthc winner.
Just to clear things up for you all,
let us tell you that today's winner
picked out by those attending the thirty-third
annual banquet of the associa
tion is:
Miss Anna Weinman,
3331 West Harold street.
Teacher at the William II. Mclntyrc
Public School.
Thcso poets may write about being in
n beautiful garden of roses, but wc
had a much more p'ensant experience
yesterday when wo walked into the Wil
liam II. Mclutyro Public School to find
Miss Wclsman, and almost the moment
that wo gave her the joyful tidings we
were completely surrounded by attrac

with excitement becauso one of their

of teachers again.
Winner Gets Big Majority
The members of the association had
no difficulty in deriding which lino was
the winner, since they gave 5230 votes
to the winning line, which was nearly
half of the entire number of votes cast.
It certainly was nme pnrty as cery
one seemed to enjoy being on tho Jury
to hand $100 to somo unsubpcctlng
person.
When tho time arrived for u commit
tee of tellers to be appointed so that
they might count tho votes everybody
wanted to bcrve on the committee. We
asked President Gnllcn and Secretary
F.dgar, both officials of tho Frankford
Grocers' Association, to pick tho mem
bers oi me coinralttco or tellers trom
tho host of pietty girls who were pres
ent. But both these officials roplied :
"Nay, nay. This job will bo done by
men ntid there won't oveu bo a mixed
jury because wu need to do tho job
quick."
But it did seem that every good
looking girl north of Columbia avenue,
as well as east ot front street, was
there. Anyhow, Mr. Kdgar picked a
committee of men with genial Jim Cur.
ran. "the veteran Frankforder," ns
chairman. And even after tho com
mittee was selected "F.rnln" Tulluiau
und Reno Sehoch insisted on being
tellers, but Secretary Kdgar. waved
them awny. This was to bo a Frank
ford affair and they were only guests,
"Pop" Currau and "Dennio" Dar

committee, were later besieged by hun

FINN BIG SHIPS,
NAVY BOARD URGES
i
Warns Against Proposed Sus -
a r
portion of Building Major
Craft Basis of 8oa Power
NEW DEVICES ONLY 'HOPES'
By Uio Associated Press
Washington, Feb. 3. The major ship
remains the basis of seapower and those
who argue that tho airplane and the
submarine have supplanted it are ask
ing thc country to "accept hopes for
accomplishments," the navy general
board says in a report to Secretary
Daniels.
"Tho general board, having kept In
touch with naval progress nlong all
lines," says the report, "reiterates its
belief in the battleships ns forming the
principal units of tho fleet. Without
tbcm the United States cannot bopo to
cope with cxisUng navies."
Urging that "equality in power be
tho continuing naval policy of tho
United States," the board says there
In "no thought of instituting Interna
tional competitive building" and that
"no other nation can In reason take ex
ception to such n position."
Call for Armament Equality
"It cannot justly be construed as a
challenge," tho report continues. "A
policy of equal or substantially equal
armaments may well tend to diminish
their growth and to lessen the danger
of sudden war."
The report, signed by Rear Admiral
Charles J. Badger, president, and
former conimandcr-In-chlcf of the At
lantic fleet, was approved by Secretary
Daniels and was transmitted by him to
the Senate naval affairs committee for
its Information in considering pending
disarmament nnd "naval holiday"
resolutions.
Asserting that the guiding policy that
had shaped the general bonrd'tt con
struction recommendations since 1003
was that of eventually creating n navy
equal to the strongest in thc world, the
board urges that "no rest period or
limitation of armament" bo agreed to
by the United States that would modify
thc great naval-building program of
1010, now under construction, in "num
bers, general types or dates of com
pletion." "In the future, as at all limes pre
vious to tho world war, we shall, in nil
probability, have to rely solely upon our
own state of preparedness," was a note
of warning the document sounded.
Would Develop New Weapons
The ships authorized in the 1010 pro
gram arc thoroughly modern " renort
savs, adding that there is no reason to
believe that development" in submarine
or aerial warfare will seriously detract
from their value for many years to
come.
The work of completing the program,
tho report continued, should not, how
ever, deter the navy from developing
to the utmost new or partially developed
weapons such as submarines, aircraft
and aircraft carriers and making Mich
additions to the fleet ns will insure the
successful development and uso of sub
marine surface, surface and aerial
methods of warfare to the best possible
advantage should tho need ever arise.
A suspension of work on the naval
building program for six mouths to al
low experts to determine, in thc light
of tho lessons of the World Wur, what
types of ships uro most useful, as pro
vided in thc pending Borah resolution,
"is neither necessary nor advisable,"
tho board asserts.
F.vcry new weapon of offense that has
threatened the supremacy of the cnnltni
ship haa been met by a successful mode
of defense, thc report declnres.
Concluding with a strong argument
for "equality with the strongest" as
tho nation's permanent naval policy,
tho board's report asserted that such n
poucy wus uirccted against no natlor
or group ot nations, and wab dictate,
on grounds of national safety. Point
ing to tho great growth of the Ameri
can merchant uiarluo tho leport em
phasizes that no nation tiad ever been
able to establish and maintain a large
merchant fleet wfohout dovcloplnc a
uavy to assist and protect it.
