Williamson, W. Va.. Feb. 12.
John McDowell, a Baldwin-Felts
employe, present at the Matewan
battle- last May; was the first wit
ness called by the prosecution in the
trial of 19 men for murder, when
court' convened this morning. The
first shot of the battle that resulted
in the death of 10 men came j'rom
the doorway of ; a hardware store
near the railroad station, accbrding
to McDowell's testimony. He could
not say who was the. first man killed.
He testified that Sid Hatfield, Matc

and Mayor C. C, Testerman, all of
who mwcre killed,; were gathered
about the doorways ' .

defense for cross-examination. Attor

has been accepted as the cause of
the battle, the eviction of miners
from houses owned by the Stone
Mountain Coal company.
McDowell was uncertain as to the
number of families evicted by . the
Baldwin-Felts detectives that day,
but said he Jjclieved there were rive
or six of them.
'While a few of us were taking
the furniture from a house," said
t fie w itness. "Mr. Felts, who jwas. in

to where we were and protested
against the eviction."

Schwab Was Genius
Washington, Feb. 12. E. N. Hur:
ley of Chicago, former chairman ot

before a house committee investigat

he bad been told by Clemenceau. at
the Paris peace conference that the
appointment of Charles M. Schwab
as director general of the Emergency
Fleet corporation had frightened
the Germans, heartened the , French
and enthused the British.
Describing Mr. Schwab as the
"foremost captain of industry in the
country," Mr. Hurley said he had
been instrumental in .getting Mr.
Schwab to serve, because he real

Professional "Blue Law" Reformer Says
Fighting Battles for Moral Legislation Has
More Thrills Than Stalking Big Game
Dr. Wilbur Crafts Who Has Been "in at Death in
, Every Fight for 40 Years" Gets More Pleasure
Out of Watching Morals of People Than
Participating in Wholesome Pastimes.
(Editor's Note) What manner of people is it that seek to impose on
the country the bleak, forbidding "blue laws" and "blue Sundays?"
The answer to this oft-asked question found below in the personal
story of Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts, head of the International Reform bureau,
which is now maintaining a powerful lobby at Washington looking to th;
passage of such laws by congress.
In his story Dr. Crafts says he has been "in at the death" in every
great battle for moral legislation for nearly 40 years.
"Some fellows," he writes, "get their supreme pleasure in fanning
prize fights and in movie thrills and joy riding, but how tame that is
compared with my joy in knocking out Fitrsimfnons and Jeffries and
Willard by helping to secure governmental acts that barred Fitzsimmons
from the arena at St. Paul, and drove Jeffries from San Francisco to
Reno, and kept the Willard-Johnson films trom entering this coun
try. .
"I had rather hunt news dealers to clear the streets of perils for
youth, or hunt congressmen in the interest of ood laws than to hunt
or eat wild game. ...'''
"It is as enjoyable as an elephant hunt in India or a tank attack

"Without a quiver I call myself a professional reformer!"
By DR. WILBUR F. CRAFTS.
(Written for International w Service.)
Copyright, 1931, International Newi Serrlee
Washington, Jan. 22. I am asked
in this statement to write, not of
bills I am promoting, . not of the
work of the international Reform
bureau of which 1 am superintend
ent, but, quite humanly, of my own
life, which has been "the simple life"
on the personal side, ' and "the
si'nuous life" on the public side.
They say every life would make a
good story if frankly told. If there
is anything in mine-- to instruct
others, whether by way of warning
or otherwise, I ought not to with
hold it.
Well, for one thing, I am quite
content with the places where, and
the times when, I have lived. What
better birthplace could a future pro
hibition ldef have chosen, if he
had been isu!tcd. than Maine in
the days of Neal Dow?
When ccald a boy have been in
troduced to Christian politics more
favorably than in the civil war, when
the appeal to voters was not to sup
port the republican party in order
to save the "full dinner, pail" and
increase profits and wages, but to
save the union and emancipate the
slave? That was the high meaning
of politics as I first saw it at 11 to
14 years of age. Jhe same Funtan
ism that had impelled my Mayflower
ancestor to fight King George was
impelling the Puritans' descendants
to fight King Alcohol and King Cot
ton. Let the impuritans who sneer
at the Puritans take note that these
supreme crusades against enslaving
forces were of Mayflower origin.
And let them show some achieve
ments for human progress by 'the
Puritans' critics that are even half
as useful. Whatever of good there
has been in my work has been large
ly due to Furitan heredity, supple
mented in boyhood by Puritan train
ing in home and school.
j Studied Jn Boston.
When I was old enough to under
take literary work, where in all the
world could I have found an envir
onment so favorable as Boston, then
in its golden age, with such stars in
its galaxy as Wendell Phillips,
Longefellow, Whittier. Oliver Wen
dell Holmes and Mrs. Mary Liver
more?' These were my teachers in
literature and in reform.
When I went west in 1876 I found
(a New Engtand Puritan, Dwight L.
Moody, the acknowledged religious
leader of Chicago and the whole
west in church evangelism, in Sun
day school work, and in Y. M. C. A.
activities. And when I returned east
I found another New England Puri
tan, Henry Ward Beccher, the ac
knowledged leader of New York
and the whole east in religion and
reform. And going later to Wash
ington I found Reed and Dingley
and Frye and Hale, all from my
native Maine, dominating the nation
al congress. Again I challenge the
sneering impuritans to match the
story in any field of high endeavor.
Traveling abroad in 1873 and later,
I found the "nonconmormist con
science" leading in London, imper
sonated in Gladstone and Spurgeon.
I ' found the same dominant type in
mission .fields in the Jessups, the
Scuddcrs, the Gulicks, and many
more. It was such people that I met.
as a traveler and lecturer in 49
American and 29 foreign common
wealths men of vision and passion
and regnant conscience that en
riched my life more than art or
scenery.
"Far-Flung Battle Line."
Shortly after the civil war, in 1867,
midway in my college course, I start
ed preaching with a sermon on
"Faith and Works," and lecturing
with the theme of "Total Abstinence
and Prohibition." That four-in-hand
has increased to a "borax
team" of many cleansing reforms,
for after. 21 years in the pastorate I
became pastor at large in 1889, first
as a defender ' of the imperilled
American Sabbath, then under bitter
r.ttack by Sunday saloons, and later,
in 1890. I broadened my attack to in
clude the whole league of commer
cialized vices and commercialized
politics, of which the saloon is but
one, though the heaviest, battalion.
A lawyer presiding at one of my
early reform meetings frankly said:
"You are starting out to reform peo
ple. They dont want to be re
formed. You've got a hard job."
Some might make it so, but to me
reforming has been a series of adven
tures. The joy of the foot ball cap
tain overcoming a strong lineup, of
the hunter conquering big game, of
the soldier winning agaftist great
edds, all these have been mine. For
25 years I have taken but a month's
vacation because variety and victory
are all the recreation I needed.
I had rather hunt newsdealers to
clear the streets of perils for youth
or hunt congressmen in the interest
of good laws than to hunt or eat
wild game. My mental attitude in
clearing newsrooms in scores of cit
ies was expressed in the heading I
put on the story in one case, "Hunt
ing in the Wilds of Pittsburgh." In
two days I cleaned 51 newsrooms
there by simply showing the of
fender in each case, calling him
quietly aside, the law he had broken,
and taking his promise to quit.
Clean Up Newsdealers.
In Cleveland I bunted in an auto
mobile with a Bible class teacher
and Y. M. C. A. religious work di
rector. It was as enjoyable as an
elephant hunt in India, or a tank at
tack in France when it was new, as
we cleaned tip 20 newsdealers in
two hours and a half.
For once it was the wicked, not
the good, that were afraid, as we
yhowed the dealer's liability in each
case to a maximum punishment, for
exposing evil pictures where a boy
might see them, of $2,000 fine and
live years' imprisonment.
- Half a thousand times I. have
won such victories, and winning
some benefit for others is after all
the Greatest satisfaction.
It will seem almost incredible to
those who think of reformers as de
lighting in jails that I have secured
obedience to law in more than 400
cases with no arrest but "the arrest
of thought," and never arrested but
one man in any other way.
Always "in at the Death."
Many "fans" have counted it the
crown of the year to see the
"world's series" in base ball before
the gamblers threw a fog of suspi
cion over it by bribing our best
players; but what if you could be
pitcher and "fan" in the same game?;
That is my privilege, for after pro
moting a good bill in congress for
months or years I get in the gallery
to sec the final fight on the floor
with a greater joy than anyj'fan"
ever knew when his own nine won
the pennant. "A good time is one
that don't go off with the having,"
and the joy of winning a good law
goes on forever. It has been my
fortune to be "in at the death," as
hunters say, in every great battle
for moral legislation, save -two,
since 1882, when national moral leg
islation began in the anti-polygamy.

and in movie thrills, and joy riding,
but how tame that is compared to
my joy in knocking out Fitzsirn

helping to secure governmental acts
that barred Fitzsimmons from his
arena at St. Taiil and drove Jeffries

kept the Willard-Johnson films from

No man ever got so much real fun
in winning stakes at a horse race'as
I did in beating "Boss Quay" in the
legislature at Harrisburg in his plan
to legalize rice gambling.

was sidetracked far down the caka
dar, but got it on some bill as an
amendment which I call the re
former's side door. In that way we
won the first anti-canteen amend
ment, prohibition for immigrants,
the law of Christ on divorce and war
prohibition.
In defeats also I claim a place
among the sports, since the supreme
test of a "good sport" is to take de
feat without a grouch, in which the
impuritans, thinking they include all
the sports, prove that they haven't
any. In Mayflower year, .'. fighting
the pugilists in New York and Mas
sachusetts in their effort to legalize
knockouts, I was knocked out twice
myself, and instead of the defeated
man's consolation share of: the win
nings it cost me $2,000 to be licked,
but I came up smiling1 both, times,
and am putting in more money and
effort to arouse, and equip the
preachers' meeting in 39 state capi
tals where the fight on legalizing
pugilism is momentarily expected.
Pleasures of Authorship.
The joy of electing laws that will
go on forever not one of my 18 has
been set aside by the courts is
hardly greater in my case than the
joy of writing. There is no finan
cial inducement to write serious
books. Every one of my 42 has
gone beyond the first edition, and
"Successful Men 'of Today" has had
a circulation of 45,000, but "there is
no money in it." That makes no

and salary is secondary.
- It has been one of the special joys
(f authorship to me that I have been
a pioneer in most of my book ven
tures. In these cases there is the
thrill of blazing a new trail. My
first book, "Through the Eye to the
Heart." was our book, for in au--thorship
my wife has been a com
rade from the first. We started as
book partners and when the time
came to divide the profits I took her
into the firm. It was the first book
cn plain blackboard work for Sun
day schools. So our second book,
"Childhood, the Text Book of the
Ace." was written before the word
''Child Study" got into verbal cur
rency. My -book, "The Sabbath for
Man"," was the first one taking the
orthodox view that had been issued
iii 22 years. My "Practical Christian
Sociology' was the first boek on that
subject by an orthodox man, and my
"Internationalism," in 1908, more
than anticipated the league of na
tions of 10 years later.
Adventures in Finance.
Even the finances of the reformer
I knew best of all have been a series
c f adventures. 'Cominjj to Wash
ington to establish a "Christian lob
by" with less than $50 in hand, and
nothing pledged for the untried ven
ture, he has been able to put back
all salary received and lives on the
interest of the interest of what he
has saved on salary of $2,500, which
he did not ask to have raised even
in the world war. It is some adven,
ture to be able to finance one's
dreams. He coull write a book on
the simple life that might multiply,
marriages of sensible lovers who do
not know it is "the high cost of high
living" that has troubled our land.
, A recent addition to this adven
ture in economy has been helping to
bring down high prices, in which I
have at least matched Governor
Coolidge, for in the year 1920 I
bought no clothing, save one pair of
cuffs, one suit of underwear, two
pairs of socks, one necktie and -a
dozen and a half of collars,- and I
bought' these only because I was
away from home when the need
came. But for that it would have
been total abstinence on new clothes
for the year.
Every reformer is entitled, to gen
erous sup,port, especially if he has
boys and girls to educate, but the
sneers about ."paid reformers" fail
to explain even to enemies the re
form motive in my case.
Without a quiver I call 'myself a
"professional reformer." When we
need a doctor we want a professional

doctor, not a quack. When we need
a lawyer it is a professional, not a
shyster, we ask. In the hardest of
all tasks, reform, we should seek
not an amateur, but an expert a
professional reformer. In Great
Britain all employed temperance
workers have an association and
meet annually to discuss their com

the bar associations and doctors' as

be "professional reformers," whose
membership in such an association
shall certify their standing and pro

dabblers in retorm.
Among this Puritan's thrilling ad
ventures have been numerous inter
views with great men in many for
eign tours. Except the first foreign
tour in 1873, such interviews along
with national and world conventions,
have far exceeded merc-scenery and
exhibitions in my touring purposes
and plans. Among the high officials
who have granted interviews of halt
an hour or an hour have been Count
Okuma of Japan, Marquis Ito, then
resident general of Korea; Count
Hyashi, President Yuan Shihkai of
China, H. E. Tong Shao yi, China's
foreign secretary: M. Capelle, for
eign secretary of Belgium, and Presi
dent of International Convention on
Africa; ambassadors at same of
Great Britain, France, Germany,
Sweden, Spain, Italy, China and
others.
' " Interviews Marquis Ito.
Of these interviews in the world
tour of 1907-1908, which I describe
as "As a Reformer Let Loose Among
the Diplomats, the most unique ad
ventuhe was my one-hour interview
with Marnuis Ito in Korea. I knew
he was allowing Japanese to enrich
themselves by introducing opium
and gambling, though both were
sternly suppressed in Japan. My
task was to make him feel the world
knew it and would expect him to
stop both evils and yet not seem to
rebuke him.
I boldly assumed to be his cham
pion. I greeted him as "the great
est man of the Orient, who had in
hand its hardest task, namely, to
make a Scotland rather than an
Ireland of Korea." I told him I
had said in 'a speech to students at
the Y. M. C. A. the night before
that if they saw the Japanese were
introducing opium and gambling
they should not go about whisper
ing against the government but re
port the wrongdoing frankly to the
governor general.
It was a critical moment. If he
suspected it was a complaint and re
buke I might get a rough dismis
sal. But I looked him straight in
the eye, and he apparently accepted
my assumed championship as genu
ine. And then I changed the sub
ject and talked of the great Japan
ese victory over Russia. "Was
Oyama the secretary of war," I
asked, "a general, or, like our sec
retary of war, only a lawyer?" For
tunately he missed my meaning, for
it brought me a word picture of
Japan's ' scientific warfare. "The
commander-in-chief," he said, "does
not go to the firing line. He sits
among the telephones."
War by Telephone.
That was a wonderful flashlight
on the firsf war conducted with
modern invention. And that is the
way I have been fightingr of late,
at the telephone half of the time
or more in answering calls of the
great papers 'of the nation, nearly
all obsessed by the fear that the na
tion is in danger of a renaissance
of Puritanism, though the impuri
tans sem to be in full control of
Sunday. There has been no delu
sion so absolutely mythical since the
world was filled with the spell of
witchcraft. In that sense only is the
"blue law" terror Puritanic.
As that is disappearing I , hope
the papers are going to help me and
let me help them deal with real na
tional and international perils dope,
and anarchy, and gambling, and (
vampires, and many more grim
realities. Hunting these social foes
together might be as interesting as
the knights of old found it to make
the highways safe for womanhood
and childhood.

Plan to Prevent
Typhus Spread
Imposition of New Regula

Likely. ,
Washington, Feb. 12. New meth
ods to safeguard the people of the
United States from Europe's typhus
epidemic were under consideration
today by the federal authorities.
Confidence was expressed, however,
that the more than 35 cases found
among passengers aboard steam
ships arriving a New York would
not result in the spread of the dread
disease to the United States.
Imposition of new regulations
both abroad and at American ports
was considered as likely to result
from a conference today between
Ewing Laporte, assistant secretary
of the treasury, in charge of public
health, and Surgeon General Dim
ming of the public health service.
A ban on admission of immigrants
from typhus-infested idstricts of Eu
rope, however, is not regarded as
warranted in view of the precautions
already taken and contemplated, Sec
retary Tumulty has informed Dr.,
Royal S. Copcland, New York City
health commissioner. Commissioner
Copeland, in a telegram to the White
House, recommended the imposition
of such a ban.
