ing next Thursday morning.

Rules Governing Retail Stores Are
Slackened.
By Associated Press.
St. Louis, Dec. 11.—The Southwest re-
gional coal committee today announced
the cancellation of the restriction on
messengers from staff during a battle.
The noise and activity attracted a num-
ber of the hotel guests and soon the
entries were crowded with curious lis-
teners. Fragments of acrimonious de-
bate and remarks were heard through
the closed doors to the vast amusement
of the eavesdroppers, including such
outbursts as “Egotist,” “Liar,”-“Wreck-
er” and similar terms.
The confusion was followed by what
one of the outer congregation termed
“an ominous calm” and when the ses-
sion finally ended, President Johnson
was one of the first to leave and he was
quickly followed by a majority of his
supporters. The “insurgents” remained
for further consultation with their at-
torneys. They refused to make any
general statement other than to say
that the fight would be continued and
that President Johnson had been served
with summons in three new legal ac-
tions. While no authoritative outline
of these actions could be gained, it was
understood that they will involve re-
ferring to legality of Johnson’s long-
term contract; damages to the New
York club, and demand for legal fees.

Kansas Miners Have Not Yet Obeyed
Order.
By Associated Press
Pittsburg, Kan., Dec. 11.—Union coal
miners did not return to work this
morning and it is not known what
steps will be taken by the officials of
the union to have them return to work
under the order sent out from Indian-,
apolis last night.
This was expected to be the biggest
day so far as production is concerned
at the Kansas strip coal pits, where
several hundred volunteers are at work.
There has been a rise in the temper-
ature during the night and weather
conditions today were almost ideal for
the operation of the pits.
Washington Miners to Await General
Convention.
By Associated Press
Ellensburg, Wash., Dec. 11.—-Coal
miners of the Cleelum and Roslyn
fields near here will not return to
work until a general convention of
the United Mine Workers of America
orders the men to end the strike, ac-
cording to telephone messages received
here from Cleelum. The Cleelum and
Roslyn fields are the largest in Wash-
ington. .
Stripes Signified Size of Force Wearer
Could Add to Army.
(From the Detroit News.)
The army chevrons worn by officers
were, years ago, used to designate,
first, the householder—the man who
had a roof. He brought to the army a
small number of followers. The head-
man of two or three houses came with
a more respectable following. His cor-
, poral’s chevrons had two stripes. Above
him was the chief of the village or
small district, representing many
houses and bringing a corresponding
number of followers. Three chevrons
on his sleeve indicated that he was a
man of authority over many roofs. He
bore the title of sergeant.
Lieutenants’ and captain’s bars rep-
resented commands large enough to be
inclosed within walls—that is to say,
garrisons. The leaf, worn by the ma-
jor and the lieutenant-colonel, indi-
cated the man who commanded a great
number of men, as many as might as- •
semble under a. great tree. The eagle,
the insignia of the colone, stood for
command of as many men as would,
come under the vision of the lord of
the air. The star, the symbol worn
by the general, represented the height
of power, so great that it could be rep-
resented only by a heavenly body.

Weather Conditions.
The cold wave has moved rapidly
eastward, causing a sharp fall in tem-
peratures in the Atlantic coast dis-
tricts except in Florida, the high
pressure area being crested over Penn-
sylvania, Maryland and Virginia. With
the rapid eastward movement of the
high area temperatures have risen in
the Ohio valley and to the westward,
though freezing temperatures continued
generally east of the Rockies, except
in the Gulf and Atlantic coast districts,
and zero temperatures continue in the
extreme Northwest. Rains are re-
ported along the south Atlantic coast
and at points in Florida. The low area
advancing from the Pacific has been at-
tended by light rains in the northern
plateau region and on the Pacific
coast, and generally light snow is re-
ported at points in the more northern
Rockies in connection with the ap-
proach of a high pressure area over the
Canadian Northwest.
As the western low pressure area
continues its eastward development we
may expect partly cloudy and warmer
tonight, i Friday will be generally
cloudy and warmer. Moderate east to
south winds will prevail along the
coast.

EAT ANYTHING IN PETROGRAD.
Various Combinations of High Priced
Filth Sold to the Hungry.
(D. S. Aronson in the Independent New
York.) -New
Look over the varieties of food con-
sumed by starving Petrograd. Here
stands a woman selling what she
claims to be cutlets. They are made
from the groundup husks of sunflower
seeds and groundup dried vobla (an
inferior small salt fish.) She sells
them for six rubles apiece.
Next to her stands someone selling
boiled horse meat cut up into small
pieces, every piece weighing not more
than three ounces, dry from exposure
to the air and dark an<l shiny like a
clot of blood. This is a favorite com-
modity. It costs only three rubles a
piece and is very nourishing. Further
on. one sees a woman take out from
between her skirt and her skin some-
thing hard and black, not bigger than
a dollar. This is the most valuable
and most dangerous merchandise to
handle, because it is bread, and to sell
bread is strictly prohibited. The flour
to make it was smuggled in somehow
from the country, but the pieces she
had hidden about her are made from
perhaps one-fourth flour and the oth-
er three-fourths from any conceivable
material except flour, and the price of
each piece ranges from ten to fifteen
rubles.
Many Stock Farms Are Nearly De-'
pleted in New South Wales.
Special to The Tribune.
London. Dec. 11.—Indications of
tragic losses to stockmen and farmers
in Australia are given by the Daily
Mail’s Sydney, New South Wales, cor-
respondent in a dispatch in which he
cites instances of dwindling stock as a
result of the drought.
Of 27.000 sheep on one farm, the cor-
respondent says, only 5,000 have sur-
vived, while on another farm 6,000
sheep have dropped to 900.and else-
where 80,000 head of beef cattle have
dwindled to 15,000.
“These losses,” the correspondent
continues, “are typical of the large
estates, but the losses of the small
farmers are commensurate, and their
cases are pathetic.
"An official estimate of the coming
wheat harvest for the whole common-
wealth is 40.000.000 bushels, as com-
pared with 179,000,000 bushels last
year."

New York, Dec. 11.—Testimony
that Capt. Karl W. Detzer had
struck military prisoners in France
in the face, and ordered his ser-
geants to “beat them up” in or-
der to force "confessions," was
given by three witnesses when he
was placed on trial at Governor’s
Island. The offenses with which
Capt. Detzer is charged, occurred
while he was in charge of “crimi-
nal investigation” in the Le Mans
area. The defendant was in com-
mand of the 308th military police
company.
George E. Williams of Corning,
Iowa, a discharged private, as-
serted that after he had been slap-
ped by Detzer the captain ordered
Sgts. U. S. Madden and Frank L.
Hoyt “to take him out in the yard
and make him come clean.”
Williams declared that while
Hoyt held his hands behind his
back, Madden beat him until, fear-
ing he was to be “killed,”*he had
signed a statement which he be-
lieved was to the effect that he
had stolen property.
Private Thomas A. McAdams,
now attached to the Fifth guard
company at Governor’s Island, tes-
tified that after being “picked up”
on the street at a time when he
was an attending patient at a base
hospital he had been beaten by
Sgt. Hoyt.
McAdams said he had signed a
confession about a certain crime
because he was in fear of his life,
not only from the beating, he said
he had received, but by the appear-
ance of Capt. Detzer and his men,
“armed with guns and blackjacks.”
Samuel G. Roth, of Chicago, who
once had been Detzer’s desk ser-
geant, testified that he had seen
Detzer violate his own order by
striking two prisoners. He also
testified that prisoners had been
deprived of sleep and food.
Thomas Gossett of Galveston,
once a guard at the office of Capt.
Detzer, testified that he had never
seen any prisoners struck.
Capt. Detzer appeared before the
court in uniform, wearing two gold
service stripes. He is more than
six feet tall and weighs' 200
pounds. He appeared unmoved as
the charges' were read and to each
of the twenty-eight specifications
entered a plea of not guilty.
Sgt. Madden of Pittsburgh, once
a member of the Pennsylvania
state constabulary, was not in
court. He will be tried at the end
of the present case. Sgt Hoyt has
not been arrested and, according
to the judge advocate, deserted in
France

New York, Dec. 11.—American league
baseball club owners, flanked by a
squad of attorneys, battled for some
hours yesterday in their annual meet-
ing and when the session ended, Presi-
dent B. B. Johnson was surrounded by
a new board of directors, favorable to
his policies. The insurgent clubs were
outvoted on every proposition that
came before the meeting, but went
down fighting and serving summonses
which promise to carry the disputed
points into court, where final decision
may not be reached for months.
A resolution to elect a new president
in place of Johnson was defeated, five
votes to three, and the new board of
directors, consisting of Frank Navin,
Detroit; Ben Minor, Washington;
Thomas Shribe, Philadelphia, and S. D.
Ball, St. Louis, was elected by the same
vote. Navin was selected vice presi-
dent in like manner, the Cleveland, St.
Louis, Philadelphia, Washington and
Detroit clubs voting in the affirmative
and the Boston, Chicago and New York
clubs against. A resolution to play a
schedule of 154 games in 1920 was vir-
tually all the baseball business tran-
sacted from the standpoint of the aver-
age follower of the game.
The session opened with a meeting
of the old board of directors, consisting
of Ruppert, New York; Dunn, Cleve-
land; Comiskey, Chicago, and Frazee,
Boston, with Johnson present as league
executive. Trouble developed almost
immediately folowed and during the
chairman and Johnson and Dunn left
