8 THE OREGON STATESMAN. SALEM, OREGON GUARD TROOPS ARE ORDERED Military Ordered Out at Re quest of Union Men for Protection WOMEN ENTER BATTLE Radical Element Headed by Alexander Howat Keeps Kansas Astir PITTSBURG, Kas., Dec. 14. National guard troops have been ordered into the coal fields 01 Kansas as a result of demonstra tions conducted by women strike sympathizers. State officials took this action today when authorities of this county reported that they were unable to cope with the situation. The women for three days have been storming mines in the coun ty anJ mistreating non-striking miner's. The situation in the mining camps was reported quiet tonight after a day of hubbub created by the women, who paraded from mine to mine threatening work ers and carrying on demons? tra tions designed to prevent the meu from entering the shafts. Anion Itrlayfri Although the requesting of troops had been discusned ly of ficials for several days. It was not until early today that the action finally was taken. It followed dramatic appeals to Sheriff Milt Gould of Crawford county, and Judge J. IL Crawford of the in dustrial court by delegations or non-striking miners that they be given protection and be permit ted to work. The non-striking miners, sev eral thousand in number, origin ally went out or the volunteer strike called in the Kansas dis trict when Alexander Howat and August Dorchy, former president and vice president of the Kansas district were sent to jail for vio lating the state industrial court law. Ho watt Deposed Later the Howat administration was deposed by the international union officials' vho ordered the striking miners back to work. The women demonstrators are wives and relatives of those miners, who so far have refused to obey the international's edict and who are supporting the Howat organ izations. Officers of the international un ion here have contended that the activities of the women demon strators were sponsored by mem berg of the Howat administration. That contention, however, was challeneged today in a statement reported to have been made by Howat deploring the demonstra- THURSDAY MORNING;- DECEMBER 15. 1921 , i "in tiona &nd asserting that they should never have been permitted to begin.

WORTH & GRAY Department Store (FREE DELIVERY) Phone 132 177 North Liberty Street it There was a perplexed lover who had a string: of sweethearts in signt and he didn't know which one he loved best. "How happy I'd be with either one, were the other dear charmers away," he said, and he drew cuts for a choice and then always be lieved the cards Hed to him. So would anyone who tried to tell which was the best number on the Apollo elub program last night. "Wake, Miss Lindy." plan tation melody with the minor chord of sadness even in its gay est notes, would have been the first choice of r,ome. The crash ing chords of "Omnipotence" held that delight in thunshrdluetaoln some spellbound strange sonln that delight In the thunder and lightning and the roar of the storm and appalling silences of the wilderness. The splendid unH son chorus of "The Dells of St Mary's." would have had a splen did chahce with any card draw. There wasn t single number but would have had a chance for top favorite. And there was a cross-erained old German composer who once said, , A tenor voice is a disease." But then. Lucifer wasn't satis fied with heaven, but had to start a little circus of his own, back m the grimy ahey. The tenor parts of the Apollo club would make the rabid critic chance his opinion. The tenor finale of "The Lost Chord," with the or chestra and organ and chorus ac companiment, and the like cli max In "Where My Caravan Has Rested," were splendid Indeed. And the Mutch sones 12 num. oers m all, and two of them re peated as encores to the club on the stage, proved the singer as robust and pleasine a tenor as has been nicked in the northwest. when Frank Deckebach came forward at the proper time to break the news to the audience that Miss Rea wa? hot to appear. he took a long chance in saying, "But I'm assuming that you did n't come to hear any outside sing er von wantea to hear the Apot lo club, your own townsmen." But it was really true they did come to hear home folks. The crowd took It up and cheered to the echo: and it wasn't a bit in appropriate that some musical Imp back somewhere whistled guardedly through his teeth "He's a Devil In His Own Home Town.' Forty devils, every one right at home, wearing soup-and-fish some of them borrowed and singing away for dear life for two solid hours! The chorus numbers were after all the excuse and fhe reason and the glory of the evening, and the splendid en semble singing justified the pre liminary endorsement. A curious "provincialism." or a splendid patriotism, peeked out through the door of trouble fol lowing a group of Italian songs by Mr. Mutch, the soloist. He gave nrst a group of Italian songs; next, three French songs, and for an encore to the last of these French, offerings, he announced I will sing a French " The nearest to a groan that a healthv, welRed audience could give, started to run over the house from every corner, every floor. The Imported music was beauti fully rendered, and well chosen. but It didn't quite touch the spot. But the singer chose English for the third appearance, and how the crowd applauded even the an nouncement! The songs them selves were perhaps no better rendered, but beside the foreign numbers they were a riot com pared to a Jover's lane stroll. The singer took high A with ease and confidence. The planta tion "spiritual." "Didn't it Rain", almost took the high sea with Brother Noah. Mrs. Robert McKinney Hofer took the obllgalo part that had been assigned to Miss Rea, in "Omnipotence," in a few minutes' notice. To sing against the chor us, the orchestra and the organ, in a heavy piece on such short time, is a task that few singers care to undertake. Franz Schu bert, the composer, put all he had Into the piece, and Franz Liszt. the beloved pianist and composer who worked it over, gave it the touch of overpowering genius, it a great magnificent number. It was the most difficult, and doubtless the most effective num ber of the evening; in a music ianly way, it was head and Shoul ders above most of the more pop ular pieces. It was a great program and Salem has a bigger asset in its Apollo club and the other local musicians, than most people, ever dreamed. Student of Indian Lore is Much Charmed by Oregon That the Oregon Capitol build ing compares most favorably with that of Raleigh, X. C. and Wash ington, D. C, and that these thre are the most beautiful in thei union, is the opinion expressed by i Miss Hope Elizabeth Haupt, writ-! er on Indian lore, who was in Sa-i lem yesterday. Miss Haupt ex-j pressed herself as delighted to get I on the Pacific coast. j Migg Haapt spoke yesterday ati Willamete university regarding Indian lore, with which she is familiar though long study of Indian life and customs She speaks especially of the Xez Perco a tribe so named by Lewis an-I Clark, but a name wnich she says was given them by the explorers under a mistaken idea that they were the same as the Chinooks.
