Clay Center Offers To Divide Asylum APP
propriatiOn With Wellington.
Clay Center is wavering in the fight
for the new insane asylum. Before
Representative Lawrence left for
home last night, he was approached
by the head Of the Clay Center lobby
at Topeka aud asked to agree to a
compromise, in effect to divide the
SlOO,OOO appropriation and build asy-
lums at both Clay Center and Well.
ingtOn. The rlan is to withdraw the
bills at present before the legislature
and next week introduce two bills,
each asking for appropriations of $50.
QUO with which to build asylums at
Clay Center and Wellington. That
amount Of money would not build a
desirable asylum, and future legisla-
lures would be asked to make appro-
priatiOns to complete them. In this
way the state would be compelled to
build,two new a>ylums. The Well
ingtOn lobby has the matter under
a1viSement.-JOurnal, Saturday.

E. j. Pennypacker came up from
South Haven last Friday and went
to the residence Of W. q. Vols and
secured stone hemisphere which be-
longed to Frank Dunaven, one of the
divorced husbands OF NJ. Lou Helm,
and will ship it TO Mr.. Dunavan at
Butte City, Mont. The stone has
quite a history, and is a family relic
highly priced by Mr.. Dunavan. 1t
was picked up on the banks of q river
in La Sale county, Illinois, by Duna-
vans father sixty years ago, when
that portion Of Illinois was full Of
indians. The stone was an Indian
ornament. When Dunayan came tc
Wellington he brought the stone with
him. 1t had been in the cellar Of The
Vols house, where Dunavan used TO
live, since be went west. He wrote
from Butte not long ago, requesting
that the relic be sent to him.

A few weeks ago a Galena Dutch.
man visited Wellington and offered
to buy the interest OF several yelling
ton people in the Glasgow mine at
Galena. W. Fl. Vols had become
disguised with the mine, and the
Galena Dutchman bought him out.
A recent issue OF the Galena Journal
says that chunk Of almost solid jack
weighing over 400 pounds, was taken
from the mine last week. As result,
stock In The mines is soaring skyward.
A number of Wellington people are
interested 10 the Glasgow, and are
congratuIatlng themselves over the
fact that they refused to sell out.

Representative Lawrence On Friday
introduced bill in the house making
an appropriation for an insane asy lum
at Wellington, to cost 100000. Sen
atOr A. G. FOrney introduced a similar
bill in the senate. The insane asylum
contest may now be said to be on in
earnest. Clay Center, Parsons, Chan
ute and Wellington want the asylum.
The bills locating the asylum at
Wellington must first 60 to the COM
mittee on ways and means in both
the house and senate. There the
hardest work must be done. The
senate ways and means committee is
pretty certain to report the bill in
Wellington's favor. Clay Center aud
Wellington have equal representation
on the house ways and means com.
mittee. Whether Chanute and Par
sons will cut much figure 10 the con-
test remains TO he seen. There is a
possibility Of the four cOruered fight
growing so warm as to prevent any
new asylum being voted fOr at the
present session Of the legislature.
Chanute and Parsons are new en.
tries in the contest. The Junction
City movement has died out, il it ever
had any life at all worth speaking Of.
Chanute is basing her hope on her ex-
cellent water facilities, handsome
site and plenty of cheap fuel. Parsons
has good water and plenty Of railroad
connections. Clay Center has mostly
nerve and nothing else worthy of
mention. Wellington has fine rail-
road facilities and her location is un-
surpassed by any town 10 the state.
Some interesting times are expected
In the committees at Topeka next
week. 1t Is understood that Parsons
is the only town that will offer land
free to the state in return for the
asylum location. Clay Center is re.
ported to have farm up her sleeve,
which she will offer in a pinch.

BOLD C0UpE.
Railroad War Still on at Martini
Ferry.
c., L. & W. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
AN OPPORTUNITY TO UNDO THE
WORK OF THE w. & L. E.-CON-
TEST HAS REACHED THE IN
JUNCTION POINT AND ARB IRA
MENT OF THE COURTS.

Yesterday afternoon matters took a
the merry war which has been going on
between the Wheeling & Lake Erie and
Sleveland, Lorain & Wheeling rail-
roads at the blast furnace in Martin S
Ferry. Several days ago the w. &. l..
E. stole a march upon the c., L. &. w.
people and connected the two ends of
their track across a c., l.. & w. spur
leading into the blast furnace. Since
that and up until s O'Clock Saturday
evening each company kept from one
to three engines and a string of cars
about the spot where the contention
arises, to block further proceedings.
The fight became so spirited that the
high officials of both corporations APP
peared upon the ground and picketS
were set to watch and report every sus-
picious movement of the opposition. So
high did the tension arise at times that
the large crowd of spectators looked to
see the big engines and heavily laden
cars smash into each other in an eff
fort to carry point by physical
strength.
The situation continued without any
additional sensational features until
yesterday afternoon, when the c., L.
& w. achieved a coupe which may be
considered in the nature of a knock
out for the time being at least, for it
leaves the Wheeling road in the same
condition as existed before the encoun-
ter began.
At 8 o'clock Saturday night Deputy
Sheriff Samuel Westwood received a
batch of papers from st. Clairsville to
serve upon Wheeling e Lake Erie en-
ployes enjoining the company from
further action. A temporary injunc-
ton had been granted by Judge Hol-
lingsworth, and this was expected to
put quietus upon the affair, but not
so. There were nine writs of injunc-
ton, bit Deputy Westwood only sue
ceeded in getting service upon two
parties, namely, DR.. J. NJ. Darrah, To-
cal agent of the company, and Chief
Engineer Bissell.
The Wheeling people evidently
thought the jig was up, and accord
ingly withdrew. The c., L. & w.
however, kept an ample force upon
the ground, and yesterday afternoon
about o'clock tore up the connection
made over their tracks and pushed a
couple of cars over the river bank in
such position as to block their OPP
ponents.
This brought the Wheeling & Lake
Erie people upon the scene again en-
masse, and at midnight the two big
corporations were cycling each other
as it were, awaiting an opening of hos
tilities or further action of the Court

human agency. He will not nor can
ndt, without an infringement upon
mans liberty and free moral agency,
force upon the church a revival. But
He is always ready to bestow the holy
spirit according to the conditions re-
quired. And when a revival is seen
the cause can be found in the faith
fulness or earnest pleadings of some
persons who felt the necessity of it.
At large revival meeting held in New
York City in 1928, at which over one
hundred souls were converted, the cause
of the revival was traced TO the
earnest prayer of two old men, who
had prayed to God for a revival unbe-
known to any other living person be-
sides themselves.
"a revival of religion is within the
reach of any church that will pay the
price, which is a remuneration of all

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
MARLBORO, Prince Georges County,
Nd May 12.-Deputy Sheriff Tighe left
here on the o'clock train yesterday for
Baltimore, taking with him Thomas Turner,
colored who was convicted flew days ago
of the murder Of Frank White and SEN
fenced to death, but whose sentence was
changed by the governor to Imprisonment
for life Under the laws Of the state the
governor fixed the date OF execution and
Sheriff Robey has been waiting to hear
from the governor before making prepara-
ton for the event.
A rumor had been current for several
days that Gov. Lowndes would commute
the sentence in this case to life imprison-
ment. and the dead mans: colored friends
declared vengeance on the prisoner should
the governor take such action. Wednesday
night Information reached here that some
of them had move on foot looking to the
lynching of the murderer. The first intima-
ton received that the governor had taken
action In the case was when Judge Mer-
rick received a telegram yesterday from
Chief Judge Briscoe, saying that Turner
must be removed to Baltimore Immediately
Soon after the receipt of this dispatch the
prisoner was hurried to the train and start
ed for the penitentiary where he will serve
the rest Of his natural life.
Turner was tried at the April term of the
court before full bench. An attempt was
made to get the prisoner acquitted on a
plea of insanity, but all the witnesses
would say was that he was below the aver
age intelligence of people of his race He
exhibited very little interest In the trial
| for his life, and although the evidence was
decidedly against him, he wanted to put up
a claim of self-defense.
The murder was committed in February,
