Murder of n Hotel Clerk.
QUIET At POCAHONTAs.
No Miners Working in the Mines I
day.

No Miners Working in the Mines To-
day.
POCAHONTAS Va, May 6.-There are
no miners working today in the mines here,
and. while Monday is regarded as an off
day. it Is believed the union men have won
the miners here and that the strikers have
the field. The Hungarians have refused to
work. and only very few men went up to
report for duty They are what are known
as day men. who lay tracks and work at
the machines. The town was quiet last
night and good order prevails. the miners
remaining in and at their homes, but they
are indignant at the attack made last even
ing on one of their speakers, Mr.. Warbur-
ton, who was knocked down by Mr.. Hall
on the depot platform and seriously hurt.
The sympathies Of this section are with
the miners. The operators, it is believed.
will suspend any attempt to run the mines.
Last night about 10 o'clock two police
men. Baldwin and Mike Rupert, went to
the home Of Joe Farkars, and calling him
out, asked him If he intended to work He
said he would not work unless others
worked. He was then told he must work,
and he responded that he would not, where
upon he was struck. At this seven men in
sympathy with the police rushed in. and
Farkars was arrested and Is now in jail.
Browning mines, and there are warrants
out for some of the miners of West Vir-
ginia who are here for Interfering and
keeping other men from working. Trouble
Is feared. The miners think the police
want trouble and are holding back. If ar
rests continue there is no telling what will
come, as the miners are indignant.

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
Getting a Jury In the johnson Stab
bling Case.

Getting q Jury In the johnson Stab
bling Case.
This morning Judge Cole, sitting in Grim
inal Court No. 2, began the trial of James
Andrew Beverly and Nelson Thurston, on
the charge of murder. The crime with
which these men stand indicted was COM
mitted on February last Both are col
ored men, and the man who was killed,
Charles Z. Johnson, was also colored.
The homicide was the result of a row.
which occurred on Pomeroy street, near
Freedman's Hospital, in the course of
which, it is alleged. Beverly stabbed John
son in the heart with knife. the wounded
man dying on the following day. The case
was rather remarkable in that the man
who was stabbed lived as long as he did
after receiving the fatal wound. Thurston
was held on the charge of aiding and ahct-
ting Beverly in the act. and Judge Cole
explained to the jury that if he was guilty
of the offense charged he was guilty in
the same degree as the man who welded
the knife.
The government was represented by Mr..
Tracy L. Jeftords and Mr. Charles A
Armes. and the defendants by Mr.. Thos.
c. Taylor for Beverly, and MIR. c. l.. Trev-
lit for Thurston.
The morning was occupied in securing a
jury, a number of those who were called
being excused on the ground of CON
scientious scruples against capital PUNISH
ment or because they were challenged by
the defense. AS all the trials for murder
which have come before this panel have
resulted in convictions the lawyers for
the government found no reason to chai-
lenge any of the jurors who were called
this morning. AT IL o'clock the court took
a recess until 12:IJ and the work of filling
the jury box was then resumed.
The Jury.
1t was 2:15 when the jury was finally
completed as follows: Alfred West. John
]. Newmeyer, 8. F. Gill, John Bronaugh,
D. ]. Buckley. Jules A. Demonet, John
Byrne, VIM. B. Gurley, E. L. Dodd. c.
Carroll Martin, ]. Henry Wurdeman and
VIM. w. Grant.
Mr.. Jeffords opened for the government,
outlining in brief what the prosecution ex-
pected to prove. Thurston, who Is cob
bier, had a shop on Pomeroy street, just
off of It'll street. On the night OF the KILL
ing there was some drinking and fuss
in the shop. Beverly and Johnson ran out
and across the street and the contention
of the government would be that Beverly
pursued Johnson and. urged on by Thurs
ton, struck at johnson with a knife and
pierced his heart.
Mr. Trevitt made an opening address on
behalf of Thurston and the case was in
progress when The Stars report closed.

LIVELY TALK.
Lawyers Disagree Over u Police Court
Case.

Lawyers Disagree Over u Police Court
Case.
Judge Miller's court room came near be-
ing the scene of free fight this afternoon,
and it required the combined efforts of the
judge and several bailiffs to restore order
and prevent possible bloodshed. The scene
was the result of 4 tilt between Lawyers
George w. Albright and George French,
who were interested in a case that was
being heard. In the case Yorick W. Smith
appeared as defendant, while j. J. Schenck
was the prosecuting witness.
Smith lives on Trinidad avenue, and
Schenck has an Office on G street, oppo-
site the patent office.
1t was charged that Smith had made
false representations to Schenck concern
ing a patent sewer bottom. and had OBJ
tanned $3.50 from him.
Lawyer French represented the defend
ant, and had the privilege of cross -exam-
ming the witnesses, while Albright, who
was present as counsel for Shenck, was
permitted to take no active part III the
contest.
During the discussion of the case Law
yer French made a statement to the effect
that an effort had been made to settle the
matter out of court, and to this statement
Mr.. Albright took exceptions
He claimed that Lawyer French's state
ment was a reflection on him and his meth
DDS and after denouncing his statement as
being groundess he proceeded to tell
French that he could or would thrash him.
You can't thrash one side of me- said
French, who added something about what
would happen should they meet outside.
II can whip you with one hand" he added.
Gentlemen, please keep quiet" shouted
the bailiff. as he raped for order.
Judge Miller also doing some work
assigned to bailffs and finally order was
restored long enough for Judge Miller to
dispose of the case. which he did by hold
ing Smith in Sl00 security for the action
of the grand jury.
There was another tilt between the law
yers, but it ended in talk, no blows
passed.

MASSEY wITHDRAWs.
Another Break In the Delaware Scna-
tOrship Contest.

tOrship Contest.
DOVER, Del, May Ga sensation was
caused today by the announcement that a
letter had been received, addressed to the
senate. from George V. Massey, declining
to allow further use of his name in the bal
lotting for United States Senator. For
more than week Massey has been polling
six votes on each ballot, but even his six
votes cannot elect Senator, unless there
is a break from either Higgins or Addicks,
which is doubtful. At the outset of the
contest Massey had but three votes, but
later he drew three more from the Higgins
ranks, and it is more than likely that these
men will go back to Higgins ard Pennewill
on tomorrow's ballot.
The vote today was: Higgins, 6; Addicks
6; Massey, 6; Pennewill, / Ridgely, 8; Tun-
nell, l.
WILMINGTON, Del, May Cit Is now
believed by many that DR.. Hiram r. Bur-
tons chances for the United States senator
ship are brighter than. those of any of the
other aspirants. There was a delegation of
republican leaders from Sussex county at
Dover today. and they will make strong
bid for the senatorship from that county.

The Question of Rcfunding.
Replying to the suggestion of the At
torney General that, in the light Of the re-
cent decision the government should re-
fund the money collected under former in
come tax laws, Mr.. Guthrie said:
1.-The people of the United States gladly
paid the income tax to defray the expenses
of the war, and would make a similar sac
rilce today, If it were necessary. Con-
gress has not returned the cotton tax, al
though it was clearly sectional partial and
unfair. Has nit eyer been advanced as a
principle of justice or morality that, If you
decide that a certain Interpretation of the
customs laws has been erroneous, every
man who had paid without protest is en-
titled to have his duties refunded?
There is no propriety on the part of the
executive branch Of the government in
telling this court that 1t should be affected
one way or the other that its decision may
compel the refunding of vast sums of mon
ey unlawfully. collected"
In conclusion, he quoted Chief Justice
Chase in support of his assertion that the
exigcncies of war should not create prece-
dents. Not whisper" said Mr.. Guthrie,
was heard in federal court attacking the
constitutionality of the tax until two or
three years after Appomattox. 1t would
be opposed to every principle OF constitu-
tional theories and every principle of civil
right to hold these sacrifices, willingly sub
nitted to in time of war, as precedents
or unlawful exactions in a time of peace"
