While Assistant Attorney General Carvan's force continued its voi/'a in/vliiilinr o cn-i ? / !> f -w I n -1 tvJ(> C. A. K. Martens, self styled envoy of the Russian Soviet government, there were evidences of new activity and more determined cooperation in all other departments of the government. Congress received a bill, introduced by Representative Johnson, Republican, Washington, which would make every government employee an agent for ferreting out undesirables. Each clerk would be given the duty of reporting any information concerning alien activities to the department of justice and the immigration authorities. ri hp tvpnsnrv .verrefc service was al so enlisted in running down persons for whom the immigration authorities have issued warrants. Customs officials also have been asked to report any information they gather,; while the army and navy Intelligence arms of service will cooperate both i m the gathering of evidence and searhlng out of radicals. Secretary Baker ordered the vaca^ tion of all buildings and other facilities used by the army at Ellis island in order to make room for handling the hundreds of aliens who are held ' there pending deportation proceedings. The department of justice has had to deal with a serious problem in the detention of the radicals arrested since last Friday, as Ellis island already was overcrowded and epidemic of measles was reported to have broken out there. ? . ii._ j? of During Uil> ? ? justice announcs<i that a warrant had been ordered for the arrest depor-! tation of "Russian Soviet Ambassa-?< dor" Martens, and tonight ?. Nourteva, secretary to the ambassador,1 made public a letter to Attorney Gen- > eral Palmer, in which he assured Mr. i Palmer any information the depart- j ment desired to transmit to Martens would be communicated to him. Nour-. leva said Martens and his party had j established temporary headquarters in i Washington, so that Martens would be able to appear before a senate foreign; relations subcommittee when that body desired to have lr's testimony. Department of justice officials working on plans for the deportation of the radicals arrested in the recent raids decided to request the use of two transports, both of whicWvill be larger than the Buford, which carried the 249 radicals away before Christmas. Men LEADERS GET SUPFORT OF MINERS IN RANKS Convention Indorses Action of International Officers in Bringing Coal Strike to Close. Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 7.?International officers of the United Mine Workers of America will go before the commission, appointed by President Wilson to arbitrate final settlement of the controversy between the miners and operators with the backing of the rank and file of the miners of the country as a result of action here today of the reconvened convention of the miners organization. By a vote of 1,639 to 221, the convention adopted the motion of Philip Murray, president of the Pennsylvania Soft Coal Miners, to indorse tha [act;on of the international officers in calling off the strike and agreeing to 'accept, the president's proposal which | provides for a 14 per cent, advance i in wages/ir.d agreement to submit all j questions in dispute to the president's I committee. The convention adjourned sine die and acting President Lewis and Sec^ | retary Green will meet with the inj ternational executive beard of the miners organization here tomorrow before going to Washington where they 1 -l AT 1 1 are to appear next uauic ! president's coal commission. The j hearing in "Washington is called for ; the purpose of allowing the miners 'scale committee of the central com[ petitive field to present the miner's ' case to the commission. John P. ; White, one of the members of this ' commission, was present at the convention when the vote was taken. Union chiefs of the miners organ| ization were happy tonight over what ' is regarded as a complete vindication of their action by the convention. The ! vote came after three dhys of de; bate and a stormy windup in which a ! small but noisy minority, tried to swing the convention in favor of postponing acceptance of the president's proposal until after the commission ,has made its reward. In explaining why he had decided to accept the president's proposal of settlement, Lewis said, he "had no desire defeat the United States government a confess'-." l'? \ m . i ar.y e";rn Nation fent an American organization," Lowis dec! ired, "and if the day ever c o n?'' when ' 11 *s organization hi naicd ?>y r: Te vho - 2 :* "..-2 ' > American traditions, that day I will (. c. } : '. :? .i.

DECIDING FACTOR Attorney General A^Y'-scs Health Board Decision As To Trachoma Should Held. *| The Record. t'egarding the controversy over trachoma as fourd in Newberry coun'v - rv-f Vs*i5 an zy, rne siuit; uu?m A pealed to the attorney general for an opinion as to whose word must be taken in the situation, that of Dr. John McMullen, the United States surgeon sent to South Carolina by the federal government to investigate the situation and consult with the South Carolina health authorities, or . i that of various other physicians who ? ; have made examinations and passed j on the situation. The attorney gen-; T ; eral has told the state health board ! < 'that this is a matter for it officially f and that the decision of the surgeon r i sent to aid the state board in decid-j j ; ing the matter should be accepted. , i The state board is placing a quar- c antine against the trachoma and this j. is based on the decision of the fed- ^ eral health official that the disease j . found in Newberry is actually tra-1 v ^Vinmn. v> j j 1 Certain specialists have stated pub- j licly that the disease found in New- J j berry is not trachoma. Others have j declared that it is trachoma: The: s state board of health so held and t appeal was made to the federal health . authorities for aid in handling the y situation. The result of the appeal ( was the sending to the state of Dr. t McMullen, an expert in the treatment , of the disease, and he decided that j it was trachoma. * I 1 ^ ; ] PROTECT ANIMALS FROM COLD ] Charleston American. < j We are in hearty accord with the ^ appeal made by the Society for Pre- j vention of Cruelty to Animals that horses and mules be properly blank- , etc-d during cold weather. A blank- t ' et cost but a few dollars at most. A \ hcrse or mule costs several hundred ] dollars.. Aside from the humani- , tarian point of view, it is a practical '] business proposition to protect animals from freezing wer.cher, such as j we have had in Charleston the post ] few days. The providing of a blank- , et will ward off pneumonia and the : possible loss of the animal Get one 1 and instruct the driver to use it. \ According* to one who keeps in cIofo i touch with the situation, the people i of the city are showin* more consid er??tion for then* animan tins wjiuvr, j but as he states, there is still vast i room for improvement. The mer- j curv yesterday was down to 13, and ] in such weather animals force.I to ] stand for any len&th oC time unbiank- . eted will suffer considerably from , cold. j ] ! i GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY ; MR.
