Theft of Senate Towels.
Mollie j. Hopkins, a young married white
woman. recently indicted for the theft OF
fifteen towels from the United States Sen
ate last January. yesterday pleaded guilty
In Criminal Court No. 1, and was sentenced
by Chief Justice Bingham to pay a fine Of

The husband of the woman. who accom-
panied her into court, left her in the Gus

among his friends for the purpose of rails
ing the money with which to pay the fine
He returned with the money about 8
O'Clock, and the woman was released.
Mrs. hopkins was represented by Attor-
ney Philip Walker, who stated that the
offense amounted to nothing more than
petty larceny, the aggregate value of the
stolen articles being but $5.25. He there
fore, suggested the imposition of a fine of
$40. District Attorney Davis having agreed
course met the approval of the court.
Mr.. Davis explained that while he had so
agreed, he thought the amount of the fine
should be large enough to convince the
woman and others that the offense cannot
be committed with impunfty.
Chief Justice Bingham. in sentencing the
woman. told her that she had confessed
the commission of a crime for which she
might not only be heavily fined, but also
In view. however, of her previous good
character and the small value Of the artf-
cles taken he would merely impose a fine
the understanding being that It shall be
promptly paid. He. therefore, sentenced
her TO pay fine of $50, as stated.

JUDGES IN THE SADDLE.
Government by Injunction Established in
the Coal Mines.

Pittsburg, Pa, August 12.-Sweepipg
and far-reaching injUnctiOns now fig
ure in the coal miners strike in the
Pittsburg district The developments
tend to make the situation a strained
one, and it appears that a crisis is near
at hand.
The strikers have demonstrated that
their assemblages, marches and mis-
sionary work have materially affected
the output of the New York & CIeve-
land Gas Coal Company, while at the
same time public sympathy has been
enlisted in their cause.
Judge Collier granted a preliminary
injunction restraining and enjOining
the defendants from assembling, march
ing or encamping in proximity to the
mines and houses of the miners for the
purpose, by intimidation, menace,
threats and 0pprobriOus words, of pre-
venting the miners of the plaintiff from
working.
1t further restraints the defendants
from inducing or compelling any em-
plOye or miner to quit work.
The injunction is regarded as the
most sweeping yet issued
President Dolan expressed surprise
when informed that it had been
granted and added "It will make no
difference to us. We will not break
camp and will go right along as usual,
until the matter is tested in the courts.
We will stay there regardless of every
Judge in Allegheny county, and if they
attempt to force the injunction they
will have to build more jails to accomO-
date the men,"
The injunction secured by the New
York & Cleveland Gas Coal Company
was read to President Dolan by dep
uty this afternoon at miners head
quarters. Mr.. Dolan, who was writing
at the time, scarcely stopped his work
for more than second, and when the
reading was finished, acknowledged it
by merely saying: Thank you"

Strikers and Deputies Quarrel.

Pittsburg, Pa, August 13.--F'Or the
first time since the beginning Of the
coal miners strike blood was shed to-
day, and pitched battle only narrowly
averted. The injunctions issued yester-
day by the court restraining the strik-
ers' crusade were the direct cause of
the conflict, and they may yet lead to
even more serious outbreak.
The injunctiOns have at last put a
stop to the marches of the striking
miners against the New York & Cleve-
land Gas Coal Company for a time
But in the execution Of the injunctiOns
the Sheriff and his deputies to-day mar
rOwly escaped precipitating serious
trouble. AS it was, the first blood of
the strikers was shed. Henry Stewart,
one Of the Sheriff's deputies, struck
Jacob Mott, drummer of the Mcdonald
band, with the edge of brass horn and
cut a severe cash above his eye.
The sight of the blood wrought up
the one thousand idle miners to such
a pitch that a desperate conflict was
imminent. The deputies also were ex-
cited and noisy. The strikers were
jeering and yelling and urging rush.
There were enough Of the miners to
annihilate the deputies. Captain Bel
lingham, Sheriff Lowry, Chief Deputy
James Richards and Superintendent
DeArmit were the cool men in the
assemblage, To them and to Captain
Bellingham belongs the credit of avoid
Ing riot, When Bellingham saw there

was danger Of his men getting beyond
his control he commanded halt and
addressed himself to the task Of re-
straining the more belligerent. So we'll
were his efforts directed that he soon
had restored C imperative order.
Sheriff Lowry had difficult task to
perform, but he handled it well and by
his COOlness and good nature did much
to neutralize the bitterness and strife
invited by his subOrdinates. The strik-
ers finally retired and marched back to
their camp. There were several other
brushes with the deputies, but no ac-
tual collisions.
After the miners returned to- camp
the officers held a conference with their
attorney and he advised them to quit
marching until the court had heard
the argument next Monday on the bill
in equity brought by the New York &
Cleveland Gas Coal Company, as it
might injure their case if they were
brought up for contempt before the
court.
President DOlan then issued orders
that no marches should be made on any
Of the mines Of the New York & Cleve-
land Gas Coal Company until further
orders, although marches may be made
against other places. In place of the
marching mass meetings will be held
and speeches made as a means of keep
ing miners Of the company from going
to work. %,
The feature Of the Scene this morn
ing was the fact that the women sym
pathizers for the first time in the strike
participated in daylight demonstra-
tion, and like their brethren in the
cause, had the injunction read to them,
and they were ordered to cease using
the public highways for parade
ground.
There were no signs Of trouble to-
night. The strikers remained within
their camp, and while the deputies were
on guard, they had little to do. In
order to more thoroughly fortify his
position, Sheriff Lowry swore in twenty
additional deputies tonight and dis
patched them to Plum creek
The Sheriff does not think there will
be trouble at any Of the mines Of the
New York &c Cleveland Company and
is fully convinced the miners will do
the right thing. He is now confident
that he can handle the strikers, and if
the injunctions of the Allegheny
County courts are made final they will
obey the order. He has given strict
orders, however, not to permit any
marching and to enforce the law, even
if compelled to arrest all the leaders in
the movement.

With courts prohibiting men from con-

forts to throttle the press in the West,
and the government in the hands of the
despoilers Of the people, it is hard to
determine where and how relief is to
come.

HENRY cLAY's VACATION.
The One in Which His Adversary in Poker
Changed His Shirt During the Game.

(From the Chicago Times-Herald.)
The story is told by the grandson of the
former owner of Olympian Springs in
Kentucky.
'In the summer of 1910 Henry Clay
came to Kentucky on his vacation. He
said he felt the need Of the Olympian
water. But beyond bathing in it nobody
ever saw him fool with it. Three nights
after his arrival sociable- game began.
Even then there was little hotel at the
place, and the players occupied room in
the top story, where the clicking of the
chips would not wake envious the guests
who were barred out. In the game were
Mr.. Clay, my grandfather, Josiah Black
burn, John Hardin and Sam Clay, a
cousin of the statesman. 1t was mo
limit game. Those were days when gen
tlemen played with gentlemen, and the
vulgarism of table stakes was unknown.
A mans word was as good as his bond,
and whatever he bet he was able to pay.
The game began on Friday night and
ran along with varying luck. They were
all old hands and had the nerve to back
their cards. At 10 o'clock Saturday
night Blackburn quit, little ahead. He
had been married only two months, and
was afraid his young wife would think
he was dead. Sunday morning at 8
O'Clock some one raped on the door. 1t
was opened, and negro girl stood in the
hall. She had clean shirt in her hand,
and on the bosom was note from Hard
ms wife: For Mr.. John Hardin,
wherever he can be found The door
changed his linen at the table.
Sunday afternoon the men were wan,
but nobody thought of quitting. The
cards were dealt by Mr.. Clay. My grand.
father came III for $50. Hardin stayed.
Sam Clay dropped out. Henry Clay
stayed. My grandfather took one card
Hardin drew two, Mr.. Clay stood pat
My grandfather bet $3.50. Hardin saw it
Clay raised it $3.50. My grandfather
Clay raised back for 81 900. My grand
father said he was sorry for him, and
came back with an elevation of $4,000.
MIR. Clay remarked that it panied him tt
rob an old and tried friend, particularly
one upon whose assistance he counted in
the fall election, but he was compelled tt
put up $1,000 more that he knew more
about poker than any man in the world
My grandfather bet him another IS, 900 il
excess that he was mistaken. Mr.. Clay
stated that he might have made some er
rors of politics, although he could not re
call them just then, but he had never yet
overJudged hand. That meant an
other boost of $4,000. My grandfather
sighed pityingly.
HE laid down his hand, took small
penknife from his pocket and CAREFUL,
trimmed his nails. He shut up tn,
