UMW OFFICIALS ENGAGE IN ROW CINCINNATI, Sept. 11.—(AP)—Rsy Edmundson, leader of a movement to extend district self - government in the United Mine Workers, may be barred from a voice and vote on the issue in the union’s biennial convention which opens tomorrow. The credentials of Edmundson and three others from the same local union in Springfield, 111.—the home local of UMW President John L. Lewis—have been challenged by other members of that unit. As a result, under rules of the organization. Edmundson’s name does not appear on the partial re port of the credentials committee which will be submitted to the convention on the first or second day. Challenged delegates have no voice or vote unless and until the challenges are heard and disposed of in their favor. By that time, the convention may have disposed) of the hotly . debated subject of! district self - government. Two years ago. the convention dealt with the autonomy question on the third day. The final cre dentials report was not made until the second week of the convention. The protest reportedly is based on an alleged illegal procedure inj the local union’s election. namuiiubun &cuu uc urn uui miuw anything about the pretest but. add ed, ‘‘I have known ever since I re signed (as president of District 12) ; there would be something like that.” The former Lewis Lieuten-; ant said he and the other three del- j egates from No. 764, Springfield,; were chosen according to custom, and added that ‘‘we were particu-; larly careful on that point.” All credentials protests are heard; by the following national auditors, j who are elective officials: William Foster of New Eagle, Pa.; Archie V. Woods of Dorchester, Va., and Michael Medvitz of Hazleton, Pa. They would not disclose the names cf the challengers or how many other delegates had been protested. The other delegates from Ed mundson’s local are John Young, Harry Salkeld, and Frank Pupkis. The local customarily has chosen President Lewis as one of i t s del egates. Twenty - one of the UMY/’s 31 districts do not elect their princi pal officers. Lewis has taken the position that complete district au tonomy has been costly to the or ganization, not only in the loss of union funds but in negotiatig with the operators. He contends that a basic policy and a united front are essential. -v_ CERTIFICATES FILED BY FOUR BUSINESSES RALEIGH, Sept. 11. —(TP)— Four certificates of incorporations jvere filed today with the Secretary of State: Elizabeth City Golf club, to main tain a golf course and club; non stock; incorporators: W.

Gas-Spraying Prowler Still Elusive As Ever MATTOON, 111., Sept. 11.—WV Mattoon’s nocturnal, gas-spraying prowler remained as elusive and as versatile as the late -John Dil linger tonight as nervous residents watched for him beneath their bed room windows. At least 33 apparently legitimate reports of attacks have been re ceived in the last 12 days and a dozen or so more—including two ov. er the week-end—have been sift ed and dubbed “nerves” by police and physicians. The prowler, described by those who claim they saw him as “tall and thin, with a black skull cap,” sprays some sort of gas or anesthe tic through bedroom windows or un der doors. The motive is obscure. Many victims have been nauseat ed, some suffered mouth burns, and several have been hospitalized. Thomas V. Wright, police com missioner, and Chief C. E. Cole, taking note of mounting hysteria, issued orders today for all groups of amateur “vigilantes” to disband. These have been touring the streets at night, armed with shotguhs, and the officers said they feared an in nocent person might be shot. “I wouldn’t walk through any. body’s back yard at night now for $10,000.’’ Wright said. Harry Yde, state Police chief, sent five squadcars of his officers to assist city police in the hunt and also, said Wright, “to help in quelling the frenzy of the popu lace.” Sheriff J. E. Hougland said he had at his call 50 farmers who are members of the anti - thief associa tion (formerly the antihorse thief association) to aid if requested. State’s attorney W. K. Kidwell was checking state mental hospi tals for any released patient who had apparent characteristics of the prowler. Most of the prowler’s visits have occurred in the better residential section in the northwest part of Mattoon. Miss Frances Smith, a school principal and one of the victims, said the gas "has the kind of an odor and gives you the kind of a sensation you get when you walk into a funeral parlor.” She said her home was visited | three times.
