POSSIBLE, HE SAYS, TO AVERT STRIKE He Will Talk to Each Side Separately First and Then Will Call Another Joint Conference. Harrisburg. Pa„ 27 (By the As sociated Press). —Governor Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, assemebled the leaders of each side in the anthracite controversy around his office table today and told tlierfi bluntly that the proposed suspen sion of mining September Ist could not be allowed. "The thing is possible." he said in de claring the purpose to stop hastiness. "It must be done.” Impressively Ihe men gathered around his council table, and listened to his words. They were SamueJ 1). Warrin er. A. It. Jessup, W. W. Hnglis and W. J. Richards, of the operators' policy committee: and Philip Murray. vice I president, and C. J. Golden, Rinaldo Ca pellini and Thos. K. Kennedy, district presidents of the United Mine Workers, whose orders are out for closing down the minesNSeptembar Ist. There was scarcely a sound to inter rupt the Governor as he read his ad dress. "In my opinion the wisest thing I can do is to deal separately with each side.” he said, “to learn the basis for demands as fully as I can. 1 request you to give me these interviews." "We'll be very glad to grant your re quest," Mr. Warringer responded. "The miners will also,” Mr. Murray said. "Thank you. gentlemen," Governor Pinchot rejoined. ’tWe’ll adjourn, then,- till 2 p. m. when the miners will come to my private of fice." All the 28-odd members of miners full scale committee were assembled in the city to counsel with the union officers. Scale committee members said they, had' been* notified by the official group to he on hand. The significance of their pres ence lay in the fact that the scale com mittee when fully assembled lias power to recall work suspension notices which were issued Saturday at Atlantic Fifty after negotiations between union chiefs and operators’ representatives had been broken off. KU KLUX KLAN PARADE ENDS /IN BLOODY RIOT Khiiismen and Crowds Clash in Streets. —A KLansman is KilUed. Pittsburgh, Aug. 22. —A force of deputy sheriffs was rushed to Carnegie, suburb, late tonight when a crowd of about 200 person blocked a street and stopped a parade of KuKlux klansmen. The parade was led by an automobile but the klansmen on foot were reported to have, extended hack more than a mile. After a momentary pause the para ders broke through the crowd and con tinued through the town singing "On ward. Christian Soldiers.” A number of shots were fired and one man. dressed in whitfc robes, is known to have been killed. He died in a physician’s office, shot, through the head. Many persons werefi injured in the fighting which still was in progress more than an hour after the nrst out break. The force of deputy sheriffs was reinforced by a’l available uniformed Pittsburgh policemen and Allengheny county detectives wlio were given the right of way on city streets ns they sped in automobiles to Carnegie, six miles away. The-streets of Carnegie are jammed with people ,shouting and yelling. Every few moments the sharp crack of a pistol sounds above the uproar. Car after ear filled with heavily armed passed newspapermen speeding to the scene of the battel. The klansmen had been gathering all afternoon and evening for what is understood to have been a state meeting on a hill side overlooking Carnegie- Early in the evening their leaders were told, police said, that a parade through Carnegie would not be permitted. About 11 o’clock, however, the parade was seen to appear over the hill and start towards the town. In order to en ter it the klansmen had to cross the* Glendale bridge, which spanned a small creek. A crowd gathered at once at the bridge and automobiles were run on it and stopped, effectively blocking the structure. When the automobile leading the parade reached the liridge it stopped. The klansmen immediately made no at tempt to proceed and paid no attention to the cries to lower the American Hag which headed* the parade. Neither did they make any move to turn back. After the impasse had existed for per haps an hour, the leaders of the march ers seized an opportune moment and made a wild dash forward. The auto mobiles were, rolled off the bridge and the crowd stationed at the one end swept backwards. The parade continued for two blocks with only insolated instances of bricks and stones’ being hurled at the march ers. Then the opposing crowd seeming to have colleced their foroes, rushed for ward. Bedlam at once broke loose. All kinds of missiles were hurled through the air and firing commenced. One white robed man was seen to fall. He was picked* up and carried into « doc tor’s office where he died. CONCORD, N. C„ MONDAY, AUGUST 27, 1923. General Election Being Held in the Irish Free State Today Dublin. Ahg. 27. —The Irish Free State will on today, August 27. hold a general election to return members to the Dail Eireaun. The day everywhere will be a public holiday, all banks being closed and business suspended. .All Irish men and women over, 21 years of age are entitled to the franchise. The election promises to be compara tively quiet. Except for the intervention of Mr. I)eValera, no political issue is raised, and various croups of Farmers, Labour and Indepeiilents. besides indi viduals unconnected t with any group, will put forward candidates aimed at the promotion of sectional interests. None of them is planning a displacement of the existing government. It is calcu late# that no party can return a major ity of the House, and that the ministry must therefore rely on support from a combination of groups, though all are agreed in repudiating the name of a Co alition. The seats of all the principal ministers are regarded as safe. Labour hopes to return 40 members, about its present strength, and the Farmers hope for as many. It is not known whether Mr. I)e Valera can find the 30 candidates he contemplates. In perhaps half a dozen constituencies his candidate is expected to receive a quo|n of votes, but the suc cess of the others will depend on how the TO SHOW RESULTS OF LIME WITH LEGUMES Tests Will He Made By E. Blair Dur- ! ing September. Raleigh. N. Aug. 27.—E. C. Blair, j extension agronomist of the State Col-! lege and Department of Agriculture, will hold it number of meetings during the month of September to show the excel lent effect secured by using lime and leg umes in a combination to improve the fertility of the soil. Mr. Blair is con ducting demonstrations with lime in about ! nineteen counties of the State. The gen eral plan of the work is to use lime on one acre of land, to grow a legume on the soil, turn under the legume and note the .resulting effect on the following crop. Good increases in crop yields have been secured from this practice, as shown by comparisons with a strip of land left unlimed in each demonstration. Demonstrations are made with farmers under the direction of the. county agents. Soybeans, cowpeas, velvet beans, crim son clover, red clover and vetch are the legumes being used. • Mr. Blair has found that lime is very beneficial to all of these legumes, having nearly trebled the yield of red clovei* hay in one in stance. One crop of crimson clover turn ed Under made an of 1(2 bushels of corn per acre, in addition to paying for itself with grazing. Farmers of the counties in which j these demonstrations are to be held j should attend the meetings to see the el- j sects of lime and legumes, advises Mr. | Blajr. The meetings will begin the last j week in August and continue through September and parts of October and No vember. Mr. Blair states that many farmers in North Carolina have soils that need improvement, and a visit to one of these demonstrations will prove both beneficial and valuable. Some field meetings will be held during the same period, to show how field selectiop of seed corn is conducted. The meetings which Mr. BlaiT has an nounced to date are as follows : August 28. at F. H. George’s farm tit Comfort in Jones County; September 7 and 8 in Alamance County to show seed selection; September 10 tit Connolly's View farm near Milton in Caswell Coun ty ; September 11 T. I. Caudle's farm in Davie County; September 12 at C. J. C. Click's farm near Wood leaf in i Rowan County and J. F. Knight's farm , near China Grove in Rowan County: ! September 13 at the County Home farm ; near Taylorsville in Alexander County. i — | MRS. WILSON LEAVES TO VISIT RELATIVES : Absence Taken as Indication That Her Husband Continues to Improve.

Moscow, Aug. 24 (Jewish Telegraph Agency).—More than 20 persons were killed and approximately I(H> injured when a train proceeding from Vilna to Warsaw left the tracks and crashed into a dam early yesterday morning. The impact burst the dam and the ensuing rush of water helped to swell the casual ty list. The train was tilled with passengers, mostly Jews. Among them were a large number of immigrants bound for America. New Record Made. ■ Hempstead, N.

Opponent to Bootleggers Loses Tobacco. Greensboro. Aug. 27. —Under cover of darkness two unidentified persons armed j with corn knives destroyed about an acre and a half of tobacco, the property of Henley Ballard, iuwhite farmer, who re sides near Colfax, and who has been ac tively engaged in opposing bootlegging in 1 this section for gome time. transferable votes of Labour. Farmer and Independent candidates are distrib uterd. In any event no forecast puts the number of Republican successes higher .than twenty. These would all refuse the oath of allegiance and boycott the new Parliament. Mr. De Valera himself is standing for Clare,, his old constituency. He is still "on the run." and a leading minister has decdlared that while this govern ment holds office he will be "kept on the run.” There has been a slight agitation as to the unfairness of disfranchising the 12.- 000 prisoners, but Mr. De Valera lias at tached little importance to that, provid ed an unimpeded appeal is allowed to the people throughout the country will ing to vote Republican. The imprison ment is more serious than the mere loss .in votes, for the prisoners held include till of the best known organizers and electipneerers of the Republican party. The enormous extension of all the vot ers registered bewilders all attempts at foremasting the election results. The chances of Labour as an organized party have_ been lessened by the intervention of .Tames Uarkin. who is at war with I the established Labour leaders. It is jcalculated that all Larkinite voters would I give their second preferences to a Re j publican candidate.
