a license would certainly be met by
this order of Judge Fosters court"
What effect will this decision have
on the business of the company"
Cant tell you. OF course, if it should
bring suits on notes for small amounts
taken since Mr.. McNall's order, the
state courts might take a different view
of the law from that held by Judge
Foster and hold such notes illegal. This
would, of course, greatly embarrass the
company.
There is but one thing for McNaH to
do, as can see, and that is to obey the
order of the court and prosecute his ap-
peal, as he has right to do. He has
80 days in which to take an appeal, and
such cases have preference in the ap-
pellate court and if Judge Foster has
erred there is a legal and satisfactory
method Of-hnding it out. I see no cause
for trfbulation or excitement"
Judge A. H. Horton, who was one of
the attorneys for the insurance eompa-
ny, said: Judge Foster has delivered
of discrimination and intellectual force
in his opinion The opinion, however, is
fully sustained by decisions of the su-
prene court of the United States re-
ferred to and commented on by him
therein
]. W. Gleed, one of the attorneys in
the Hil1mon case, said:
'TThe decision seems to sustain the
position taken by the companies in the

eraI years ago the companies brought
suit and Judge J. B. Johns of the

Involved in a Coal Miners Strike
of 125, 200 Men
Which 1t is Said Will Be In
auguTated
TOMORROW MORNING.
Much Doubt Cast on the Story
by Officials
Of Several of the Miners
Organizations.
TOMORROW MORNING

Pittsburg. June Notwithstanding
the deniaIs Of the local officials Of the
miners association, an afternoon paper
publishes a long article in effect that
the national officers of the union Will
issue orders tomorrow for strike in
five states.
The edict. the paper says. will go forth
from Columbus that the men are to lay
down their tools on Saturday next.
Nearly 125. 600 men. it is said, will be en-
gagged in this great connIct, ana the bat
tleheld will cover the bltuminous coal
centers of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, West
Virginia and western Pennsylvania-The
mining rate asked for is SO cents, based
on the thin vein district in Pennsylva-
MIA
Patrick DoIan, president of the Pitts
burg district, disclaims any knowledge
of the proposed strike.
7 am a member of the executive
board" said he, ''and no such action
was taken at the meeting in Columbus
last week. If a strike was decided on
1t was after my departure for home, and
as this is one of the most important dis

as far as I know no strike has been or

A special from Columbus says Secre-

conference that there would be no
strike ordered.
Columbus, O.. June 29-MichaeI
RatchfOrd, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, when asked if any
truth We're in the specials sent out to
the effect that a strike of coal mine
workers had been ordered, said:
I am tired of denying these reports
of a proposed strike. I have been de-
uying them for so days. I have nothing
to say for publication"
The last national meeting of the min
ers decided on a scale of so cents for
Ohio and SO cents for Pennsylvania and
brought it to the executive committee
to determine the time to put this sched-
ule into operation. The committee met
here last week and on Saturday gave
out that conditions were not favorabl
to put the proposed new scale into oper-
alton now. That of course means that
there might have been strike had the
new scale been ordered, but not being
ordered, there cannot be any strike

SNOW FALLS IN VIRGINIA.
Remarkable June Weather Enjoyed
bv Residents of Caroline County.

Richmond, Va, June pa snow
storm in Virginia in the last of June
was until now, possibly, an unheard-of
phenomenon. This, however, has just
occurred in Caroline county, about 40
miles from this city.
E. c. Moncure, one of the most prom
inent men of that county, writes here:
yesterday afternoon about o'clock
I observed that some twenty feet from
the earth upward the atmosphere was
filled with a beautiful snow storm.
These snowf1akes, some of which reach
ed within ten feet of the earth, melted,
as rule, about twenty feet up in the
air. I was in my office when this
strange phenomenon for June appeared.
1 Immediately called out to some of my
family, who were sitting in the house
porch, to look at the snow, and the
strange sight was seen by the whole
household"

is made by MarjOry Wallace in which
she says she did not mean to testify
against StoOps. She says that her faith
er threatened to kill her unless she test
flied and she was forced to do SO
against her will. She also says that
she did not understand Judge Hazen' s
instructions when he told her she would
not have to testify unless she chose to
DO so Without her testimony StoOps
could not have been convicted.
Stoops protested against being taken
70 the penitentiary but he maintained
the bold front that characterized his
actions during the trial

Before the American Institute of
Electrical Engineers in New York
city last week, this new devise for
transmitting intelligence by tele-
graph at the rate of 5000 words
minute, thus enabling a single wire
to do the work now done by 800,
was explained by the inventors, Prof.
A. c. Credon of Cornell University,
and Lieut.. &. o. Squier, L. 5. A. The
method and instruments are too in
sricate Tor brief description. They
are somewhat similar to those Of
Patrick DelaDy, who claimed a speed
of $500 words on single wire. The
alternating current is used the rapid
ity varying in the different dynamOs
from $50 to 400 a second. Between
each pair OF these waves of current is
an instant when the wire is neutral
By means of a simple device the cur
rents may be interrupted at fixed in
tervals, and one or more wave move
ments of current omitted. BY not
ing these Interruptions and their
order - by means, of course, of
a mechanical apparatus, tor the
speed is too swift for the eye
the messages can be recorded.
They are sent, of course, or flashed,
by means of perforated tape paper,
previously prepared. Two messages
can be sent in one direction siumlta-
neously, or two messages can be sent
in opposite directions at the same
time-that is, one message from each
end OF the line. When it is considered
that by the ordinary Morse system
only from thirty to forty words a
minute can be transmitted, and by
the Wheatstone system messages
prepared on punched strips OF paper
and transmitted automatically less
than two hundred words, it will be
seen that this new method of machine
teIegraphy has in itself astonishing
possibilities. The entire business
correspondence between two such
cities as New York and Chicago could
be conducted on two wires only, re.
plies being received on the same day.

1929 Miles in 1909 Minutes.

The locomotive Engineer says: We
are convinced that the run made over
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy,
from Chicago to Denver, deserves to
be considered the most extraordinary
run ever made. The distance from
Chicago to Denver, 1925 miles, was
covered in exactly 1869 minutes ac-
tual running time. This was only a
small fraction less than one mile a
minute for the longest continuous
run ever made by any railroad com
pany. A notable thing about the run
was that no special preparation
whatever was made for the trip
There were no delays from hot boxes

1t cannot be denied that Col. Webb is max

scented by nine companies in the Grant cere-

Correct! DR.. Webb has DONE and

be Governor at some future time, or
could be prevailed upon to accept
the nomination, not only would he
find good support from the militia
but from the Republican party gen.
orally. Although not native to the

ways shown his loyalty and affection
for the state of his adoption, and
that he would make a most excellent
