Hatfield Tells
Story of Battle
In Coal Fields
- Chief of Police at Matewan
Says Warrants Were Issued
For Detectives Employed
By Operators.
Washington, July 17. A first
hand account of the cun battle at
Matewan. W Va., growing out of
coal strike troubles was given the
senate investigating committee by
Sid Hatfield, chief of police of the
town, who took part in the fight,
with the result that six charges of
homicide still are pending- against
him.
"The mayor issued warrants for
the arrest of all the Baldwin-Felts
detectives who came to evict miners'
families from their houses," Hatfield
said. "I went to serve the warrants
and arrest the men. Albert Felts,
the leader, turned the compliment
cn 'me and said he had a warrant
for me."
There were 13 men in the Felts
party, Hatfield said, adding:
"I asked the mayor for warrants
because they were, violating the
town ordinances by carrying guns.
We had been informed also that the
warrants for throwing these people
out of their houses were illegal."
Unions Paying Costs.
S. B. Avis, counsel for the opera
tors, asked Hatfield "if he had not
been "instrumental in bringing rifles
into the Mingo field." The witness
said he was now running a store
which sold guns.
The cost of his legal defense was
being paid, the witness said, by the
United Mine Workers.

examination Dy o. d. avis, counsel
for the operators. The money was
spent, Keeney insisted, to support
tent colonies in which 11,000 miners
arid their families were housed.
;"YVhat do you mean by saying that
mine workers are entitled to the full
social value of coal they producer"
Chairman Kenyon.asked the witness.
?'It means that a man should re
ceive all the wealth that he creates
after payment of the running ex

Denies Violence Used.
He agreed with Chairman Kenyon
that the union was endeavoring "to
get the method of compensation
adopted rather than the present sys
tem.". Senator Sterling, republican,
South Dakota, askd if the union
men did not use "violence; intimida
tion and threats to get " nonunion
men to join the union."
"No," Keeney said, "that is not the
policy of the mine workers."
"What would you do to a lcci
union which resorted to such tac

, "I'd expel them," he fiaid.
iThe committee looked into the
situation at Mingo by which deputy
sheriffs have been employed by pri

a deputy, testified he had received a
salary from the union as well as his
official pay, and named a half dozen
men he said the" coal operators em
ployed. The system was po longer

Sims Gets Clean Bill
On Daniels' Letter
(Continued From Fug On.)
making a frank and confidential
criticism to the secretary of the
navy.
"We find that his intention in
writing the aforesaid letter was to
bring about a betterment of condi
tions in the navy, through calling
attention to the mistakes that had
been made by the Navy department
during the early months of the war.
We find further, that Rear Admiral
Sims acted with entire propriety in
reading his letter of January 7, 1920,
to the subcommittee of the senate
committee on naval affairs when he
was requested to do so by the chair
man of the subcommittee.
Daniels Criticized.
"We find that on the very day war
broke out in Europe, August 1, 1914,
the general board wrote to becre
tary Daniels, urging him to prepare
the navy for war; that nothing was
done to follow out the recommenda
tions contained in this letter until in
April,-1916, in reply to a demand
from the senate for the production
of the aforesaid communication,
Secretary Daniels informed the sen
ate that the communication did not
refer to naval preparedness; that
until shortly before the entrance of
the United States into the war, Sec
retary Daniels opposed the organ
izing of the Navy department so that
he could prepare, the navy for war,
and in particular opposed the effec
tive creation of a planning division
in the bureau of operations, and that
said planning division was not finally
organized until some time after the
armistice.
"Further, that no special attempt
was made to push the construction
for anti-submarine warfare of the
anti-submarine vessels which were
included in the 1916 program; that
Secretary Daniels also (vetoed, the
urgent request of the general: board
for an increase of tlje personnel of
the navy of 19,600 men in 1915, which
veto was at the root .of the inade
quate manning of our fleet at the
time of our entry into the war; that
between February 2, 1917, when the
United States severed diplomatic re
lations with Germany, and April 6,
when we went to war. Secretary
Daniels caused to be put into condi
tion, five more battleships and four
more cruisers, although of all our 67
destroyers, not one was ready to sail
instantly for the war zone. Had
the efforts of the Navy department
been orooerly directed, we might
have entered the war with more than
SO destroyers in condition for in
stant service overseas. - -
Sims Priased.
r "We "find that to a - large . degree
to Rear Admiral Sims belongs the
credit for bringing about the con
voy, system, which proved such a
success in protecting. our ships from
German , submarines and that the
Navy department persisted in oppos
ing this system during the first two
months of the war and did not ac
cede to it fully until some time about
the middle of July, 1917. We find
that although virtually all naval au
thorities recommended immediate
concentration of anti-submarine
forces inhe war zone, yet it was not
until Aprtf 24, 1917, that any anti
submarine raft : set . sail 'from the
United States to the war zone, and
then only six destroyers were so de
tailed. " : "V
"We find that about this time the
general board most insistently urged
that 200 anti-submarine craft be sent
immediately overseas and at the same
time pointed out that more than 200
of such" craft were, available and that,
there were over 2,000 naval guns
available wherewith to arm them.
Yet in spite of this recommendation,
Secretary Daniels so delayed the
navy that less than 30 anti-submarine
vessels had arrived in Europe
by July 1, and only 90 by December
1. In view of the fact that all of
the 90 vessels were afloat on April
6. 1917. and that 71 of them were in
the United States navy at the time
of the declaration of war, the con
clusion appears to je inevitable,
either that these 71 vessels were not
ready for war or that it was not
the policy of Secretary Daniels to
hasten their arrival in Europe. Sec
retary Daniels maintains that the1
navy was ready from "stem to
stern." Whether the arrival of these
vessels in Europe was delayed be
cause of unpreparedness or because
of the policy of Secretary Daniels,
the responsibility would seem to
rest with him."

Many Changes
Proposed For
Sweet Measure
Final Committee Action on
Bill Providing Aid to
Disabled Soldiers
Again Delayed.
Chicago Trlbttn-Omaha Be Leased Wire,
Washington, July 17. An all-day
session of the senate tinance commit
tee auain failed to brine forth final
committee action on the Sweet bill
for the relief of disabled veterans.
Practically all of the important
amendments have been disposed of,
but a score or more of minor changes
have been proposed. The commit
tee is scheduled to meet again Mon
day to hear Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon further on the foreign
loan question, but an effort is being
made to have him postpone his ap
pearance until Tuesday in order that
the Monday session can be given
over entirely to the Sweet bill.
It is unlikely that the Sweet bill
will be laid before the senate before
Tuesday or Wednesday, but arrange
ments are being made to give it the
right of way over all other legislation
as soon as the finance committee
completes its consideration of the
measure. ' J
The commititee has definitely ac
cepted the recommendation of Sen
ator Smoot's subcommittee making
the proposed veterans' bureau an in
dependent organization responsible
directly to the president The com
mittee has also decided to make no
change in section 13, liberalizing the
present law so that ' ex-service men
suffering from minor disabilities may
receive treatment.
Assertions made by Senator Smoot
and others, that the bill for consoli
dation of government agencies, deal
ing with relief of ex-service men
would cost the government $343,000,
000 annually, vere denied by Repre
sentative Sweet of Iowa, author of
the measure.
After careful examination into the
subject and consultation with Col. C
R. Forbes, director of the bureau
of war risk insurance, Representative
Sweet declared that added expendi
tures which would accrue to the gov
ernment as a result of the pending
measure would be approximately
$14,500,000.

Washington, July 17. Exports of
bituminous coal through Atlantic
ports were heavier in June than in
any month since last November, ac
cording to the weekly report of the
geological survey. The total ( was

Wiping Butter Knife
In Whiskers Does Not
Justify Using Hammer
Sioux Falls, S. D., July 17. (Spe
cial.) Is a husband justified in play
ing a symphony on the head of his
wife with a hammer because she
wiped off a butter kmfe in his
whiskers?
This was one of the questions
which had to be considered by a jury
at the trial of Frank Otto Bryan,
charged with attempting to kill his
wife by striking her on the head
with a hammer.
The jury evidently believed that
even the wipingvof the butter knife
in Bryan's whiskers did not justify
his act for, after a trial lasting sev
eral days, he was convicted of assault
with a dangerous weapon with in
tent to kill. Bryan was sentenced
to four years and nine months in the
Sioux Falls penitentiary. The jury
in the case was out 24 hours before
agreeing upon a verdict, and during
this period the butter knife incident
is said to have been frequently re
ferred to.

Manufacture of
Beer Urged as Way
To Aid Farmers
Move to Legalize 2.75 Per
Cent Barley Malt Bever
age Made by Minnesota
Men Before Congress.
Chlrago Tribune-Omaha nee Leaaed Wire.
Washington, July 17. Legislation
by congress to legalize 2.75 per cent
barley malt beer was urged upon
the joint congressional commission
investigating the troubles of the
farmer by R. A. Jones, representing
product' nonintoxicating with the
Kenny, representing a Minnesota
Farmer Elevators' association, as one
of the ways in which the farmers
of the northwest, particularly those
who grow barley and other coarse
grains, may be rescued from their
present financial straits. '
Mr. Jones declared that legaliza
tion of 2.75 per cent barley malt
beer would mean an addition to the
yearly income of the northwest
farmers of about $300,000,000. He
said that this sort of beer is non
intoxicating and suggested that the
commission 'establish this fact
through the use of a testing squad
under the direction of the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Mr. Kenny, who said he comes
from the same district in Minnesota
which is represented in the house
by Representative Volstead, author
of the prohibition enforcement law,
said , that he had long experience
with the sort of beer he wants to
see legalized and that it has been
demonstrated to be nonintoxicating.
Senator Pat Harrison of Missis
sippi,- who was sitting at the time
with the commission, suggested that
Mr. Jones and Mr. Kenny take up
the question of declaring: the 2.75
Minnesota grain dealers, and Charles
attorney general. Mr. Volstead, and
the president. The two Minnesotans
declared they did not expect to dis
cuss the subject with the attorney
general, but would talk it over , with
Mr, Volstead.,
Mr. Jones told the . commission
that a petition will be circulated
among the farmers in Minnesota
the two Dakotas, Iowa and Wis
consin, to urge legislation of this
kind of beer and that later these
petitions will be presented to con
gress. He declared that the move
ment is purely one by farmers and
is not backed or supported by the
brewers.

the Goodfellowship committee of the
Chamber bf Commerce, was ; rowed
with such vigor that, it was sent
headon into the sand of the beach

of being seized with cramps.
Ihe famous boat race, heralded
and advertised as the chief "stunt"

THAT'S OUR IDEA in making
Quality Cigarette. 5 .T :
Why, just buy Camels and look at the package! It's
the best packing science has devised to keep cigarettes
fresh and full flavored for your taste Heavy paper-outside
secure foil wrapping inside and the revenue stamp;,
over the end to seal the package and keep it air-tight. , '
And note this ! There's nothing flashy about the Camel
package. No extra wrappings that do not improve the
smoke. Not a cent of needless expense that must come
out of tlje quality of the tobacco.
Camels wonderful and exclusive Quality wins on merit
alone.- " ' ; " . ;'
Because, men smoke Camels who want the taste and ;
.fragrance of the finest tobaccos, expertly blended. .Hen
smoke Camels for Camels smooth, refreshing mildness
and their freedom f rom cigaretty aftertaste. 4
.Camels are made for men who thmk for themselves, .

"Tennessee's" Hall Has
Short Life; Cops Find
Beer and Pinch Owner
Robert (Tennessee) Hendrix
place of business at Ninth and Fort
streets has had an extremely short
career.
It was opened to the trade Satur
day night. '
It was closed at 1:30 Sunday
morning by deputy sheriffs and city
detectives who raided the hall and
confiscated 200 bottles of beer.
The officers also arrested "Ten
nessee" on a charge of illegal pos
session. 'Twas a beautiful place, said the
coppers. There were nifty decora
tions, a brand new piano, n'every
thing. But "Tennessee" won't be
allowed to conduct it "any more if
the officers have their say.
Patronage was of the best, but
patrons must seek elsewhere for
their liquid refreshment from now
on.
