WOOLEN MILL IS BOMBARDED WITH ROCKS.1 "The strike of textile workers at the Shuler and Benninghoten woolen mills took on a serious aspect Friday night when a riot. was narrowly averted.

An attack was quade on the build. inge and windows were demolished. while a crowd of' ahont 3000 persons congregated. around the plant. The was composed of striking tuxtile workers, machinists, molders and strike sympathizers.

"The wing of the woolen mill containing the office today has scarcely window with a whole pane of glass. The windows were actually riddled, leaving a mass of debris on the inside. Sheriff Frank E. Pepper and bish deputies today issued a statement recarding thro trouble. 1t was stated that about 8:30 last night a riot call came into the sheriff's headquarters.

the person giving the call saying that officers were needed at once. Pepper's three deputies happened to he in consultation with him at the time and the three immediatel: procceded to the scene of the trouble. Hearing that a 1930 had nearly been killed. Dr. M.

F. Vercker, who WAS mot. was also taken with the: sheriff and iris deputies. Upon arrival at the plant. Sheriff Pepper made an investigation of the.

trouble. It descloped that seventeen girls had been housed in the plant and that they desired their freedom, but they had no way of communicat ing their desire to those outside, not knowing the sentiment of the crowd which had congregated at the plant. One of the girls managed to leave the plant and told that the girls desired to be taken from the plant. Sheriff Pepper determined what was wanted and immediately addressed the crowd and told that arrangements would he made to get the girls out. Delay in securing the police patrol was a cause of unrest and impatience in the crowd.

Pending the arrival of the patrol, Sheriff Pepper organized it committee en which were members of various unions to escort the girls to their home. it was fully three quarters of an hour hefore the patrol arrivea. The girls were then taken to their respective homes and upon order of the sheriff. the crowd dispersed. Deputy Sheriff George W.

Sloncker today stated that the stones which broke the windows of the plant were thrown over the heads of the crowd by persons who' hid themselves and who it is heliered, had no connection with the No arrests were made, as the guilty persons could not he found. The trouble had its beginning when the strikers and sympathizers organized a committee to assist the girls from the building. It happened that just as this was done, some shots were; fired. Strikers claim that the shots were fired from the inside of the building. while officials of the company deny the report.

1t was the shots that attracted the large crowd to the scone. Reports had it that William an official of the company, had heen struck by. overof the stones, while another said that Chris Benninghofen had been. report: of the latter: case prosing untrue.

-11: J. Gilbert Welsh, treasurer of Oxford. Col. lie lego for Women, has just made pubthe financial, statement of the lego for the last calendar year. This cola (is of interest.

fo, the community as accounting for the stewardship of the board of; tfustees. The state-! ment shows a gross income ol' 000 for the year, which is at the rate of 6 per cent on a ronnd million dollars. While the element of good will is not carried on the hooks a as tanglibte asset, the income records over period of years incline. many to prefer this basis of valuation rather than the physical: assets. I'lie prescut buildings and equipment are carfried 215 Arter depreciation charges are made, subject to an of $10,000, covering recent additions .10 the halls of residenco and administration building; while the replacement value of the present plant is conservatively estiquated at $300.000.

The gross recripts covered the income from tui-3 tion fees, halls of residence, scholarships and endowment and investments. The salary. budget for faculty and employres totals $22,000, which gives institution the distinction of paying better salaries to their faculty than any college of its class in the middle west. The higher figures lease been warranted on account the experience and reputation of flie of laculty as educators, as the major portion possess their doctorate deitem grees of from famous and universities. "The supplies food, extensions and betterments and miscellaneous expense totals while $8000 has been applied to the scholarship Lund for deserving students.

The net amount carried torward for the year is $4,000.00, which is being invest ed in additional dormitory space and refurnishing of rooms. This showing is considered very favorable as Oxford college is an.oudowed institution--not for. profit. The original entowment made by. the Misses Agnes Hope Morris and Mart Morris, known a5, the Robert Desha Morris endowment Fund was, the which has, gradually.

been laugmented until now when the trustees deem it. appropriate to present the facts to Butler and. Hamilton county residents and the throughout the country in order to secure an adequate endowment. to net at least $13,000 a -scar outside ol' incidental fees. latter are considered too precarious to count on to futrill the college's obligations to the community, its students, the faculty and to meet the requirements of Miami university and eastern in(stitutions with which they are orien: tated, for -graduate work.

The trustees report that Oxford college is neither denominational nor sectarian as it has no support from any of the religions hoards at present: and does not countenance the fiction of declaring itself non-sectarian when the tendency of its contemporaries is to scoure subsidies from denominational bodies to further the religions work of a partienlar denomination and then make all appeal to other denominations for support as well. Howevor, it is stated that Oxford college is Christian thru and thru and stands for the best things in ethical and spiritual trainling, without direct obligation to any denomination to further its inforests. It is said that Oxford collego is Butler county's own product for all its people and has a nationwide campus. of The Journal are always completely informed: as. to what 15 going on in Hamilton.

KINNEX8 WORTH MILLION AND HALF. Special 'To The Jourwul. Surrogate Cobalan has decided an appeal taken from an order fixing the transfer tax on the state of Robert ('. formerly of Hamilton, and owned 'considerable proporly there. The surrogate held that the fair marker value al ti.c NilesBement-Pond Co.

stock, of which Mr. MeKinucy owned 8,925 shares, was $172 a share instead of the $164 at which it was appraised. This makes the value of Mr. MeKinney's stock in the Niles at $1,535,100. The decision part, reads as follows; executris appeals from the order.

rising lax upon the ground that the valuation "or 8,925 Shares or stock of tho Niles: BementD'ond Go. hizli, while the siale comptfoller appeals upon the gronnd that the valuation as 100 low. The decedent died on October 3, 1916. It appears from the appraiser's report that the decedent held about ONetenth of the entire capital stock 01. the company.

and that between Ang1, 1916. and December 31, 1916, Piere were actual sales of more than 2,000) shares of the stock in the open market. It was. however, bought and sold in quantities of less than 100 share lots. The appraiser found chat the hid price on the dale of decorent's death was $183 a share, while the witnesses produced on behavE of the estate.

testified that the large block of stock owned by. the decedent could not have been sold at an average price of more than 4145 a share. "The appraiser's report shows that the stock of -the Niles-Bement-Pond Co. was customarily bought and soil in the open markel, and he has found that $172 represented the average price for which the stock was bought and sold within three mouths before and three months after the date of decedent's death. It seems, therefore that $172 represents the fair market value of the stork on the date of decedent's tolfor THE MULE BACKED MARTIN THROWN OFF.
