 The statement of the expenditures for county purposes for 1893 and 1894, authorized by the Board of supervi- sors, which is embodied in the pro ceedings of the Board Of Jan, 8, 1895, and published in this issue of the BELT, does not comply with She law iu this that it does not show 'in detail each allowance made by the Board of su- pervisors during that year" as tae law resdy. As an illustration we cite the item of printing, Sl,40s45. which is the aggregate of all the allowances made for two years, and conveys the inference that that amount was paid to THE ARIZONA SILVER BELT, since the law requires that all co1ety printing shall be given Go a newspa- per published in the county Such was not the case, however, as the Su peryisors ignored the law by awarding the great register and other printing to outside firms. This statement of expenditures is an admission of dere- fiction by the late Board of Superyi- sors, but as it fails to comply with the law in a single particular, it's publica- tion does not relieve the Board of re- sponsibiity Tor their shor.ooming.

Later in the evening Lee reached town, and complaint having been filed against him by relative of Ryan, he was arrested and locked up awaiting an examination.

VIRGINIA LIBEL LAWS.
Action Of the Virginia Press Asso-
citation Regarding Them.

The Virginia Press Association at Its
meeting at Blue Ridge Springs adopted
the report Of its Committee on I@gisla-
ton, as follows:
To the President and Members OF the
Virginia Press Association:
Inasmuch as there was no session OF
the Legislature in 1915. your COM
mittee was unable TO accomplish any
practical work of legislative character
Your instructions concerning the pre-
paration Of a bill on the subject of libel,
10 he presented to the next Legislature,
have been carefully considered, ana
while we deem IL inexpedient TO offer To
this meeting a formal measure, believing
that your adoption Of such a measure
would embarrass rather than ala the
efforts of your committee next winter
we nevertheless recommend the follow
ing resolution as the sense OF TINS asso-
citation. respecting this most important
subject:
Resolved, That In the opinion of this
association the libel laws OF Virginia
are harsh and oppressive to the news
papers Of the State and destructive OF
that freedom of the press recognized by
the founders OF this government as es-
sential TO the liberty of the citizen. and
that We respectfully ask the Legislature
of Virginia at its next session to so
amend them as 10 embody among others
the following reforms:
First. In actions for libel, civil ana
criminal, malice must be proved and not
assumed, against the defendant, on the
principle that every man should be
deemed innocent of an offence until
proved guilty.
Second. Require plaintiffs in libel suits
10 give security for costs, thus dis
couraging suits by irresponsible persons
who bring them for blackmailins pur-
poses
Third. Actual and not punitive dam
ages. shall be given in all cases unless
malice shall be proved against the de-
PENDANT.
Fourth. The truth of publication,
wnen made in good faith for the public
interests. without malice and for JUS
tihable ends shall be complete defence.
Fifth. Proceedings OF courts, OF Official
bodies. and of public meetings, when ac-
curately printed, shall be deemed priyi-
legged communications.
Sixth Aggrieved parties before enter
ing suits should be required 10 make
written demand upon the publisher for
q retraction, specifying in such demands
the statements complained Of If within
three days a full and fair retraction is
made with equal prominence as the
alleged libel was published, or in case OF
a weekly or semi-weekly in the next
Issue OF said paper. then the publisher
shall be liable only for actual damages.

LOSING GROUND.
THE STRIKERS IN THE COAL
FIELDS AT A DISADVANTAGE.
Movements Impedcd by Virginia MI
Hilary, United States MarshaIs, and
Taking Heart.
Taking Heart.

POCAHONTAs. VA, July i2.-(SpeciaL)
To close observer of the COAL
field Il is apparent that the strikers
are rapidly losing ground. The railroad
runs throughout the coal-feld. which
consists Of series Of very narrow val
leys. walled in on both sides by high
mountains. The valleys range in width
about fifty to seventy-hve yards. rarely
in excess Of that. With the exception
OF the ground occupied by the mining
operations the railroad property embraces
nearly all OF the available space. leaving
only a few feet for a county road, which
at intervals has to run on the smountain-
side for the want Of space below.
HEMMED IN.
The strikers are hemmed in from the
Virginia side by the Virginia soldiers.
They are forbidden to trespass upon
the railroad property by the United States
marshals and their deputies, who are
closely guarding every point. They are
held at bay by the armed guard Of the
mining operations, and the close confines
leave them but little strategic adj
vantage to be used against. the non-union
men Thus protected, the non-union
men are gathering courage and are ra-
pidly going back to work.
TWENTY TWO MINES AT WORK.
Twenty-Five mines are now at work,
and daily increasing the output of coal.
Fourteen other mines are. preparing to
20 to work in a few days, and II Is very
apparent that the strength of the strik-
ers is well-nsgh exhausted. They can

them TO resort to forcible measures. They
are making spasmodic efforts at intimida-
ton, but with little success.
ASKED A CONFERENCE.
on yesterday they sent a committee to
ask a conference with the operators.
but their request was refused. The ope-
rators steadfasuy maintain their pur-
pose not 90 deal with or 10 recognize their
union. The strikers have made stub
born fight. and several thousand Of them
still hold out. They are making strenu-
Gus efforts TO hold their men together.
but IL is apparent that their places are
rapidly being filled by new men, who are
constantly coming In, and that they WIZ
either have 10 go to work very soon or Will
be compelled 10 seek employment else
where.
A BIG OUTPUT.
The Southwest Virginia Improvement
Company had In its employment yester-
day $50 men. and the force Is steadily
increasing. The output was ll6 railroad
cars Of coal and ~ railroad-cars Of coke.
The aggregate output Of coal for yester-
day was 1850 tons. the largest output In
the history Of this company. II there Is
no interference with the employees CT
this company by outside parties, the out
nut of coal In a short time Will reach
800 tons and this gives employment To
thousands Of men in Virginia ana else

ion covered forty pages Of closely-written

IA careful consideration of all the pro-
ceedings constrains me to the belief thai

trial. He has been defended by apie,

am indebted for the fullest possible pre-

him has been made out beyond reasonable
doubt, and find no error to his prejudice
in the proceedings. The motion for a new

they would file bill Of exceptions and
make an appeal. The Court stated that
