The question of the women removing
their hats while attending church is being
agitated In Chicago. DIR. Gunsaulus has
the following to say upon the subject: II
am In sympathy with the movement. II is
of no use for the preacher to preach religion
to the man who Is sitting behind such a
thing as lady's hat is nowadays. This
man is losing what religion he has while
trying to get more. As this movement is
based on common sense, judgment and
justice, 1t will prevail. No woman has the
right to wear a hat especially in church,
which is disastrous to the piety struggling
behind her to see the minister, judging from
my own inclination, while listening to an
other man speak. 1 understand that mem
bers of my congregation wish to see me
while am talking to them. That is Nry
natural desire and one that all should be
bound to respect"

Robert OakmaD, of Detroit, whom Gov
PiDgree named as one of the assessors
provided for In the sidetracked Atkinson
bill, is enthusiastic over the Oren bill, pro-
yiding for the creation of permanent tax
commission. THAT one bill is enough to
atone for the shortcomings of the whole
session." Mr.. Oakman recently stated.
"The people of the state do not realize yet
just what prize they have In a law like
that. will venture the assertion that all
the excess of appropriations of this legis-
lature over the last will be more than made
up by the personal property put on the rolls
under that bill and without adding dollar

TRUSTS THE GREAT ISSUE.

Ex-senator Blair Says Protection Does Not

New York, June 22.-Henry w. Blair,
ex- United States senator from New Hamp-
shire. said In an interview last night:
TRUSTS are evidently to be the leading
industrial issue, If not the controlling issue,
in the next campaign The mos. objec-
tionable trusts originate In the efforts of the
owners of Improbable plants to save them
selves by combination with others. Trusts
exist In free trade countries, and the princ-
pal trusts In America are not dependent On
protection for their existence or growth.
The great abuse connected with trusts seem
to me to be the fact they seek to destroy
competition by combination of improbable
plants, which they design to close up and
substantially destroy, with those which are
retained for active production, and guaran.

have been made are valid because there
is no law against them, certainly new laws
could be enacted which would declare such

Illegal and void alb intio, believe the evil

parien. Ca, August ss.--The roundup
Of the riotous negroes in Mcintosh coun-
~ by the militia today resulted In the
surrender of Henry Dalaeai. the murderer
Of Deputy Sheriff Townsend, and the To-
cation for the future arrest of Delagal's
brother and the woman directly implicat-
ed IN the killing. Delagal's surrender was
made to Lieut.. Wood, In churgs of a de-
tachment Of 80 soldiers stationed for 10
miles about the country to back up the
sherin's posse who we're securing the
swamps. The swamps we're being beaten
closely, while the militia lined out on the
blnff. Delagal's aged mother came out Of
the swamp with a request that DsIagal
be allowed to surrender to the soldiers
The arrest of Delagal. who is the son of
the negro whose arrest preceded the
trouble, and the arrival Of achievements
for the militia, gems to have broken the
backbone OF the defiance of the law by the
negroes. A whole regiment of troops Is
now on duty in aud about Darien, under
command OF Col. Lawton. but 1t is not
believed there VIII be fnfther bloodshed.
There has been a notable diminution of
extreme talk during the afternoon. The
situation, however, is still critical. There
are-still several ringleaders Of the blacks
wanted by the officers Of the law. Unless
they !, come In and surrender or are
brought in by their friends and turned
over to the authorities, the troops will go
after them tomorrow. The court house
has teen turned into barracks for the
soldiers and those who are not constantly
kept ON duty were allowed 20 rest there.
Many of them tonight are completely ex-
hausted, having been ON duty for three
days and two nights. Col Lawton, after
communicating with Gov. Chandler, or
dered the Liberty independent troop of
light cavalry hers. The troop left Jones's
Station almost Immediately and came
through the county over the wagon roads,
distance OF % miles.
Col. Lawton also ordered the first regi-
ment Georgia volunteers at Savannah
to proceed to Darien. 1t arrived at 6
O'Clock p. m. 1t has been reported here
that 1000 negroes are in the vicinity of
Delagal's house, having come from all
parts of Liberty and Mcintosh eonnties.
Col. Lawton, late in ths afternoon,
odered the fourth regiment with compa-
MES at Brunswick, Valdosta, Wayoross
and other towns in this section, to be
prepared to move at a moments notice.
The whites here were also aroused for
miles around and came In during the day
In large numbers and every available
white man In Mcintosh county was
deputized by Sheriff Blount. Still he
could not muster large posse. Busi-
ness is suspended In Darien for the time
being and 1t Is reported that farms in

A, 2nd Infantry, is discharged without
honor for failure to report at the expira-
tion of his leave of absence.

Fir 1t LIEUT. tephen L. Foley, Co. L,
LIST Infantry, was recommended by the
board to be retainedd in the service,
Major Collins dissenting and recommend
ing that the officer be granted an honor
able discharge for his past services. The
proceedings and findings in the case are
set aside by the commander-in-ohief and
disapprosed and Lieut.. Foley is held to
appsar before another board of inquiry.
Concerning the case of Lieut.. Foley the
orders say: Gin the case of First Lieut..
Stephen l.. Foley, Co. L, LIST Infantry,
N. G, S. NJ, who was called and APP
peared before the board, the evidence
shows that Lieut.. Foley WAS rejected by
the board of examining surgeons when
appointed to the position of first lieuten,
ant In the volunteer army upon the cal
of the President for troops during the wal
with Spain; that his disqualification
were of such a nature that he could mo-
reapily recover from them. The proceed
ings further indicate that as an officer O
the National Guard his service had not
been prompt. In the face of this evi
dence and of the fact that the regulations
for the National Guard provide that al
officer must be physically qualified TO
military service, acceptance or MONACO
ceptance into the United States servic
being supposed good evidence, the boar'
recommends that First Lieut. Stephen L

opinion Major Collins dissents. II
