' 21 Die In Indiana
Indiana apparently felt the full effect
of the wind storms yesterday. In that
Btate twenty -one perseus nre known te
have met death in different communi
ties. Early yesterday mernlnc the storm
centered in Illinois. Striking n num
ber of villages In the darkness torna
does irreuRht havoc te many homes nnd
mich .reports ns were nvnilnble from
agricultural communities which hnd
been stripped of nearly nil means of
communication indicated that twenty
two persons had been killed.
Missouri, Iowa and Kansas had felt
the storm early Sunday, but in these
States It lacked the intensity which
marked Its sweep across Illinois and
Indiann nnd into Ohie.
As It passed ever Indiana there were
two distinct tornado belts. The one
in the southern part suffered some dam-
r age, but across the northern pnrt of
the State there was n wind-swept "trip
in which the less of life was heavy.
Warren County, in the western part of
the State, reported n less of twelve i
lives. .Four met death in MadUen I
County in the centnil portion of the
State.
Central Illinois Hit
The death tell was greatest In Cen
tral Illinois. The villages of Irvlngten
' and I'lnlnhem, near (Jentralia, were
badly wrecked nnd evernl persons were
M killed. Other fatalities in this State
V were In small rural communities.
) Ten persons nre known te have been
hilled and forty-one injured, several
probably fatally. In a cyclone which
swept across Chnmpnign and Ver
t mlllen Counties. Illinois, nnd Warren
County, Indiana, doing damage esti
mated at a quarter of a million dollars.
The little village of Herlrick, Ind.,
waa almost wiped out. Four houses
and two churches, comprising a group
known ns Pleasant View Cerner, were
raced, and en the Vlrieh Hunter
.farm, live miles north of West
'Lebanon. Ind., three houses nnd many
farm buildings were destroyed.
Wires were blown down by the wind
and telephone and telegraph companies
huried today te complete repairs. With
restored communication. It was con-
'Mdered probable that complete reports
might indicate even greater disaster
than was indicated early today.

Says Nene Was Consulted en
Alter's Candidacy
WERE BACKING MACKEY
A formal pretest against the selection
of a "harmony" candidate for Gover Gover
eor without consulting any reprcscntn reprcscntn
tlve of the Women's Republican Club,
Eleventh nnd Chestnut streets, will be
laid before Senater Vare late this after
neon by the wnrd chairmen of that or
ganizatien.
The women's club has mere tnnn
three thousand members and hns con
siderable power in local politics as
well as ever the State, where it has
branch organisatiens. If its members
become disgruntled with the selection
of Alter and "belt" te Pinchot. they
can help materially In the election of
the chief Ferester.
Mrs. Archibald R. Harmen, president
of the club, says, however, that the
members are net disgruntled with the
selection of Alter.
"What wc want te knew is why
Senater Vnrc chose Alter without con
sulting us," she said this morning.
"As far ns I knew the women of my
club nre net dlntUficd with Mr. Alter,
but tliev ure dissatisfied because they
were net consulted or even asked for
an opinion."
At the time Senater nre nnd the
hnrmnny mnkers were deciding en Al
ter members of the Women's Club were
holding ii meeting approving the can
didacy of Hany A. Mackcy, Compen
sation Heard chairman, who wns later
bumped off the governorship bandwagon
te make room for the Attorney General.
w'n hffltevn nrcference should have
been given te men that stuck te the
organization and net Penrose men,",
snld Mrs. Harmen.
This afternoon, ns en every Tuesday,
the ward chairmen of the club will con
vene at Eleventh nnd Chestnut streets.
Following the executive meeting it is
planned te have Sennter Vare appear
before the women or else send a com
mittee te him.

Latest Plan te Aid Candidate in
Getting "Square Deal"
at Polls
150 APPLY FOR WORK
A school for "watchers."
That's the latest idea of the Pinchot
Philadelphia committee members who
are determined their candidate shall
get n square deal here next month.
And the idea's going te be carried out
tee, sayB Councilman Reper, local
Pinchot leader.
In the last forty-eight heura the
committee has received mere than 150
requests from persons anxious te assist
in the work.
The duty of these watchers from 7
A. M. te 7 P. M., May 10. will be
te tee that only actually disabled per
sons and illiterates arc accompanied Inte
the voting booth. The "assistance"
trick In politics is ns nnctcnt as the
"hidden ball" trick in baseball.
At night the watchers will leek In
en the count nnd sce thnt Mr. Plncbet
is net "counted out" by officials op
posed te his candldncy.
Many of the volunteers are ex -doughboys.
After serving several months in
n gas-tilled trench they think It will
be "soft" te have an all-night watch
in polling plnces where the only odor
is thnt from campaign cigars.

TERMSTHIS WEEK
Crux of Ceal -Strike Situation
Expected te Be Reached
Soen
NO CALL FOR ANTHRACITE
Ry the Associated Press
New Yerk, April 18. Efferts of an
thracite miners nnd operators te settle
the pending strike were resumed here
today when members of their joint sub
committee en wage contract negotia
tions reopened the series of conferences
which began two weeks befere the
strike wns called. April 1.
The Issues of the strike have net yet
been defined, according te members of
the sub-remmlttee. Although the
operators have refused point "blnnk te
ftrant the miners' nineteen demands for
ilgher wnges and altered working con
ditions, they have, thus far in the con
ferences, declined te make specific their
counter-demands.
All of the nineteen demands have
been submitted, one by one, by the
miners' delegates. In rebuttal the
operators hove challenged four of the
demands, leaving fifteen yet te be con
sidered. The crux of the situation expected
te be renched the lattci part of the
week, when the pperaters indicate they
will make known the percentage of re
duction In wages they will ask the
strikers te accept.
In the meantime, the public clnmer
for anthracite which operators had pre
dicted would develop ns seen as the
strike became n fnct. has failed te ma
terialize. The reserve stocks, first
estimated te be sufficient for about ten
weeks, remain nlmest lntnct, producers
nnneuneed today. Prices have netuallv
been reduced by some distributors, with
out stimulating the mnritct, It wns re
ported. "Anthracite is going begging."
said a New Yerk broker tedny. "We
can't dispose of It at anv nrlee. We
can't even give it nway."
The bituminous situation, it was re
ported at operators' headquarters here
today, remains at the deadlock into
which it was thrust by the refusal of
producers te confer with the strikers at
the invitation of the Heuse Laber Conl Cenl
mlttcc. Although unionization of non
union fields has been rnnld. thev ns.
scrtcd, last week's production of .1.000,-
ihiu tens was mere than unit sutuclent
te supply the current needs of the
Natien.

are awaiting the return of non-union
workers te their plants. Many employ
ers expressed their confidence thnt in
Fpite of efforts of union erzanizcrs te
close their operations, the unergnnized
men would remain nway from work only
one or two days nftcr Easter. Enstcr
Monday, they explained, was always n
holiday in the mine fields for most em em
peoyes. I nien leaders claimed that their ef

that additional mines hqd been closed.
Twe meie mines in the Indian Creek
region were also closed.
Washington, April 18. (By A. P.)
Complete upset of "the plans of the
non-union coal companies of Minge

BUTTEfiWECK CASE
GIVEN JOTHE JURY
Credibility of Plaintiff and De
fendant Vital Question, Judge
Declares in Charge
VERDICT EXPECTED TODAY
Special DUpatch te Evening Fublte htiaer
AUentewn. Pa.. April 18. With nn
address te the jury en behalf of the
prosecution, former Congressman J.
Washington Leguc, of Philadelphia, oc
cupied the center of the singe ln the
Buttcrweck trial this morning. Mr.
Leguo's address was pronounced
pre-eminently fair, without any ap
peal te prejudice. He called special at
tention tn rtntterwpck'B ndiiiisslen that
lie simulated the slgnature of Fred II.
Sterner, the prosecutor, Dcuinu cieseu
doers, in the fnce of Buttcnvcck's
claim that he had Sterner's permission
te sign his name. He also drew at
tention that Buttcrweck admitted sign
ing Sterner's name only nfter the
prosecution had spent a day indisput
ably proving the fact.
Charging the jury, Judge Oreman
reviewed the four Indictments. The
first two counts only, Judge Greman
ordered, were te be considered. Con
sideration was te be given, he said, te
the counts of forgery nnd uttering nnd
publishing a forged instrument.
"It is the fraudulent making of n
forged Instrument that Is punishable,
said Judge Greman. "If no ene was
injured there can be no conviction. The
question of Intent must be considered.
If there be no sufficient evidence of in
tent te defraud there can be no con
viction. The Commonwealth must
establish Its case beyond n reasonable
doubt. The accused cannot be convicted
because of weakness of his defense. The
Commonwealth must establish till the
elements. Yeu must determine whether
Buttcrweck really believed that he had
authority te use Sterner's name."
Judge Greman called attention te
Butterweck's admission that he signed
Sterner's name, contending, however,
that he hnd nutherlty, while Sterner,
en the witness stand, denied thnt he
cver gave Buttcrweck such nutherlty.
"This is the very marrow of the
case," said Judge Greman. "Wc have
oath ngnlnst oath. Whose testimony
are you te believe? Which one of the
two witnesses was corroborated? leu
have n perfect right te examine nil the
evidence ; In fact, it is your duty, leu
must lay aside all prejudice nnd exer
cise your sound judgment."
Judge Gremnn concluded by rending
fli enven teen nelnta submitted by At
terney Seip for the defense. He nffirmci'
nil but four of them, which referred te
the two points submitted te the jury.
Judge Greman said court would re
main open until W ociecit lenigni "
nccessarv. If by that time no verdict
is renched court will adjourn until to te to
meriow. 31 REGISTERED BY BOARD
