Bev. Jim Miller, pastor of the Holiness congregation, and two of the members ot his church, J:ulas Peek and Homer Elrod, were in the De Kalb county Jail on charges o£ assisting to abduct a child in con¬ nection with the case.
The father, Doyal Sharp, is with the boy, believed to be offering prayers, along with other members ot the church, in some mountain hideout in an attempt to save thc child's lite.
Sick two weeks from the Infection In his leg, the boy may be .sutter- Ing from blood-poison, officers fear¬ ed ns they spurred their search fol¬ lowing the abduction late yesterday. Sheriff S. W. Pope Is directing deputies In the search.
Thc sage ot refusing medical aid and depending entirely upon prayer to 'cure the Infection reached its climax yesterday atternoon when H. C. Wilson, grandfather ot the lad, attempted to take the boy to a hos¬ pital.

Judge Alf Hawkins conferred with Mrs. Sharp, the boy's mother. In an attempt to have him located so that the boy could be given med¬ ical aid. The Judge promised no prosecution would result in the ease If the father brought the child back. "I don't know where they are" the mother replied, "but I would not permit medical aid to be given my son. Prayer will restore his health." The case has aroused high feeling In the community. Three fist fights occurred this morning as the dis¬ cussion on the matter grew hated. Even among members of the Holi¬ ness congregation there Is division. Some think the lad should be sent to a hospital. Others believe pray¬ ers of the faithful will cure the In¬ fection.
The sick boy's name Is Wallace Doyal  Sharp  Jr,
"I saw the congregation offering prayers, asking that their faith re- stlrc the boy's lnallli," Sheriff Pope said.

Brake On Engine
Wins For Horse
^———^^^—        «
Chicago, Aug. 25—UP—-Many years ago—104 to ba exact—a sharp-shod horse raced a putt¬ ing wood - burning locomotive along an historic course In Bal¬ timore. The locomotiva was call¬ ed  Tom   Thumb.
The race was run again today with such an audience from the World's Fair as could dodge speeding motor cars on Lelf Erickson Drive and even speedier electric suburban trains on tho Illinois  Central  tracks.
Neither the horse nor the en¬ gine was the same na partlfil- pated In that much-bruited con¬ test a century ago, but the horse was the same color and Tom Thumb was the exact replica of the   original.
The result ot today's race was the same. The horse won. Tho gentleman-engineer who imper¬ sonated Peter Cooper and stood at the throttle ot Tom Thumb said his wheezing mount could have won in a walk, but that wasn't according to scredule. The horse won in 1830 and the horse won today, even though Cooper had to do some funny work with tho brakes to make U come  out  that  way.

Both side were armed and threat¬ ening more violence.
O'Dell himself lay ill in his home, his ribs fractured by a severe beat¬ ing handed him by the angry strike-breakers.
His staunch friends stood on the front porch, their guns aimed at a growing naob ni  the street.
A long line ot .-houting, club- waving strike breakers and land owners weaved through the town's main street, shouting "let's lyncli O'Dell."
Thc parade passed O'DcH's house twice, but none made any attempt to come close to the building. The strikers guarding O'Dell taunted the crowd.

Blame for a move aimed to dis¬ rupt the scheduled Labor Day pa¬ rade and demonstration ot United Anthracite Miners ot Pennsylvania was placed last night by President Thomas Maloney at the door ot District 1, United Mine Workers of America.
Until yesterday atternoon, new union offlclnls were under the Im¬ pression that all plans had been deflnltely arranged tor the demon¬ stration here one week from tbmor- row when they expect more than 25,000 mine workers to march over central city streets and assemble In Kirby Park for a mass meeting.
A bombshell  was  tossed  into  ar¬ rangements      yesterday,      however. when     officials     of     Wilkes-Barro Local    Union    No.    140,    American Federation  <>'  Mualclans,  informed Maloney   that   ail   affiliated   bands that had contracted to play n;arch- Ing muslo  In  the  parade  would  be forred   to   cancel   their   agreements. Cancellations    were    ordered    from the New Y^ork office ot the A. F. ot M., local union officials here stated. Chagrined   at   flrst   by   the   unex¬ pected   news,   M.aloney   immediately made  plans  to  have  other  musical units   secured   tor   the   parade   and then launched an Investigation into the underlying causes that resulted In   the   sudden   cancellations.     His findings  were  tollowed  by  issuance ot    a    denunciatory    statement    in which    he    accused    John    Boylan, United Mine Workers district presi¬ dent,   of   plotting  disruption   ot  the parade plans wlth(|the aid of Inter¬ national   President   John   L.   Lewis and William Green, president of the American  Federa I ion  of Labor. Lose $2,500 Wages Allhough   John   MacLuskie,   head of the local musicians' group, could not be reached for a statement last night, subordinate officials declared they were incensed over the action ot   their   intornational   officers,   but could do nothing about the state of affairs.    It  was  unofficially  estim¬ ated    that    local    musicians    would have  received  more   than  $2,500   in wages for playing in the new union liarade as It was planned to have at least cloven  bands in    the    line    ot march with an average membership ot forty men per unit.
As there would be more than 400 musicians engnged for the parade and each man would receive about ?5, with fl2 payable to the con¬ ductor, a total of $2,500 would be paid local union musicians, It was estimated.
At local muslchins' headqu.arters It was learned that word had been received yesterday from the office of Joseph Webber, national presi¬ dent of the federation. Instructing the local unions In Luzerne and Lackawanna counties to cancel their arrangements to play for the nilncrs union. Webber, It wns stated. Is in Europe at the present time and the orders were telephoned here by a Mr. Garnbcl.
Deny Union  Rights
Reason   for  th(4 cancellation   was
given  by  Gambel   because  the  new
union  Is  a  "ilual   organization".    It
was stated at  tlie musicians'  head¬
quarters on Public Square th.at Mac¬ Luskie win write the national fed¬ eration headquarters for an ampli¬ fication ot the concellatlon order, hut does not expect any change In the order to cancel.
Maloney's statement last night called upon members of the ne* union to turn out one hundred per¬ cent on Labor Day and promised that there would be suflicient mus¬ ical units In line to provide holiday color.   His  statement  follows:
"A drowning man grasps at straws. And so we have the United Mine Workers ot America of Dis¬ trict One making another futile and underhand effort to Inconvenience the progres of United Anthracite Miners ot Pennsylvania. But, like nil other moves ot the old union. It will bring a reaction favorable to Ihe men who were unabia to stand tho hard.shlpa Imposed on them by the skeleton force of Dia¬ trict One.
Cites Band List "We had planned to have eleven bands In the line of march here on Labor Day. Among them was Mac¬ Luskie's band with 31 pieces, a 42- plece band from Wanamie, 41 pleca band from Scranton and an 80- plece unit from I'lymouth. More than 400 union musicians would have received union wages from the local unions of our organiza¬ tion, something to which they are surely entitled In view ot tho face that they pay dues Into the musi¬ cians  union.
"This effort to hinder us makea me question the Integrity of the American Federation of Labor offl¬ clals. In the NRA parade here, 1 recall, there were no objectlo«« raised as to whether the union bands paraded with non-uni*n groups or not. Now with an op¬ portunity to earn the wages to which they are entitled by reason ot their union membership, these musicians are deprived ot their right simply because ot what really amounts to a triple play—front Boylan   to  Lewis   to  Green.
"I want to Inform this skeleton group In District One, William Green, John L. Lewis and all others that had anything to do with this franieup. that there will he better union men parading In the Anthra¬ cite Miners" Labor Day parade than any ot the above-mentioned coQld ever muster out.
Parade Goes On "The Anlliracite Miners ot Penn¬ sylvania are fighting to support their God-given right to earn an honest living, and whether are are forty bands or a mouth organ quartet to provide music, the An- thra<lte Miners will turn out on Labor Day to a man. It thesa United Mine Workers offlclals hava the thought in their empty domes that they are going to break tha morale ot our organization, then they might Just as well quit now.
"Furthermore,    there    have    beea
peace   proposals    offered    to    brlnf
peace   to   the   Industry   and   at   tha
same   time   this   skeleton   group   la
