EIGHT PAGES AMAZON ARMY SWEEPS THROUGH COAL FIELDS OF KANSAS TODAY Women Hurl Pepper, Bricks And Clubs in Effort To Make Miners Quit Work During Strike. GIRARD, Kan., Dec. 13.—An "Amazon army" throwing red pepper, bricks, stones and lumps of coal, swept through the southern Kansas coal fields today, mobbing five mines and forcing miners to quit work. Skirts and shawls flying, the women, wives and relatives of "trump" strikers, swept down on the mines and in many instances put working miners to flight with their fists. Fiercely, like tigresses, the women clawed and in some instances used their teeth on miners who failed to heed their warning cries of "get out of here, you dirty traitors." Several miners were bruised by missiles, others almost blinded by the shower of red pepper. Four Jackson-Wellker mines and another near Mulberry were "cleaned out." The women mostly foreigners. MOTION HALTS SETTING DATE FOR TRIAL OF STERN BROTHERS A delay in setting a trial date for the Stern brothers, charged with embezzling the American Legion prize Premier car, has developed Ben E. Tarver, recently appointed by the court to defend the Sterns, has interposed a demurrer to the information filed against the defendants last Friday. Mr. Tarver contended that the information was not technically correct, in that it did not specifically state whether the Stern brothers were entrusted as ballees by C. H. McCausland, Santa Ana automobile dealer, or the First National Bank of Santa Ana, to whom McCausland assigned his assets. Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mozley argued that it did not make any difference. Judge Z. B. West asked for citations on the law and stated that he would take the case under advisement until tomorrow morning at 9:30 o'clock, when he would announce a ruling on the matter. At that time the case will be definitely set for trial. It has been tentatively set for December 20 or January 3. Judge West stated that J. H. Stern, one of the defendants, desired an early trial on account of the serious illness of his wife. S. M. Stern, on the other hand, is not so anxious for an early trial. Mr. Tarver told the court that it would be practically impossible for him to prepare a defense by December 20. However, that date will be held in reserve until Wednesday morning. When the matter of setting the case for trial came up yesterday morning, Attorney Tarver stated that the defendants desired separate trials.

State May Act TOPEKA, Kan., Dec. 13.—The state will undoubtedly have to take action if conditions remain as they are in the southern Kansas coal fields, Emmett George, secretary to Governor Henry J. Allen said today following continued mobbing of working miners by an "amazon army." State officials were plainly disturbed over the prospect of sending state troops into the field with a possibility that the guards would be forced to quell riots by women.

Cooper, veteran hotel manager of Los Angeles and Denver, has assumed charge unofficially of St. Ann's Inn. Cooper will be confirmed as manager of the Inn as soon as negotiations now pending between trustees of the hotel and William H. Moore, Jr., trustee in bankruptcy for William Hewins, former manager of the Inn, are concluded. William Hewins, former manager of the Inn, filed a petition in bankruptcy several months ago. Hewins was the owner of the Inn's furniture and upon his appointment as manager of the hotel he had agreed to purchase the hotel site and building. He failed to fulfill his part of the contract and became voluntarily insolvent. His furniture was seized and placed in Moore's hands. Moore advertised the furniture for sale but all bids received were rejected as being too low. By the action of the hotel's trustee the furniture will be rented by the hotel and the rents paid over to Hewins' creditors. Cooper resigned his position as manager of the Lakershim hotel several months ago to take charge of the trustees' interest during the construction of St. Ann's Inn. He was formerly manager of several of the leading hotels in Denver. Members of this Club were the guiding day of the Fullerton O.

Man Has Violent Temper, Wife is Seeking Divorce With their matrimonial adventure lasting but twenty days, Mrs. Ruby Weaver is seeking a divorce from her husband, Merlyn C. Weaver. Both are residents of Fullerton. Extreme cruelty represented in numerous acts of violence mentioned by Mrs. Weaver is given as the ground for the divorce action.

She says that she a few days after the wedding he became displeased at a record that was being played on the phonograph and took it off the machine and smashed it. On another occasion, Weaver smashed a ukulele belonging to his sister-in-law, according to the complaint. It is further alleged that he came home at o'clock in the orning on one occasion in an intoxicated condition and reacted such a disturbance that the police had to be called.

She says that she has reason to believe that he did not use the money for that purpose, but lost it in gambling instead. The couple were married in Santa Ana on November 19 and separated on December 9. In addition to asking for the decree, Mrs. Weaver prays for a separate maintenance.

Chicago Gunman Is Safe in Port of Missing Men CHICAGO, Ill., Dec. 13.—“Lucky Tommy” O'Connor, with a price on his head and facing the noose Thursday, was safe in the port of missing men today. Errors of five thousand Chicago policemen and detectives all over this section to catch O'Connor, who stuck on the Cook county jail, who struck Boys and girls, wards of Orange County, in various institutions and in the detention home on Grand avenue are to have Christmas made a happy occasion. Plans to bring Christmas joy to twenty-four girls and eighteen boys in the various places where they are being held for some reason, are rapidly being completed by Mrs. Uora Allen, assistant probation officer. Orphans too, will find that Christmas time will not pass them unnoticed. Toys, candy, fruit and all the good things that go to make up a regular Christmas will be furnished to the homeless children. Children at the detention home on Grand avenue will have a huge Christmas tree with all the decorations and candy that go with it. Dinner at noon will be featured with turkey and chicken enough for all. Everything to go with the turkey, all the “fixin’s and trimmin's,” will be in abundance to make the day full of true Christmas happiness for the unfortunate ones. Besides the toys and other delightful things planned, more useful gifts will be given to many in other institutions and to needy juvenile cases coming under the observation of the probation officer. These will include clothes, warm, useful and badly needed. Marbles, jackknives, balls, bats, dolls, ribbons, horns, candy and all the things dear to the hearts of American children will be included in the lists of articles for the Christmas tree. With such preparations under way Orange County wards are assured of a happy and very merry Christmas. Mrs. Weaver also claims that just prior to the separation her husband secured $175 from her with the understanding that he was to put in a Christmas stock of cigars and tobacco. She says that she has reason to believe that he did not use the money for that purpose, but lost it in gambling instead. The couple were married in Santa Ana on November 19 and separated on December 9. In addition to asking for the decree, Mrs. Weaver prays for a separate maintenance.
