SOMEWHAT LIKE
APURITAN SABBATH

In Carbondale Proper, Yesterday
Was Almost Closed Sunday, but
in the Outskirts the speakeasies
Did a Thriving Business-News-
papers and Drugs Were the Only
Things Purchaseable, Except in a
Few Places.
Yesterday was in some respects like
unto the Puritan Sabbath the school
children read of in their histories.
The day was apparently closed Sum
day. the most closed Sabbath in the
history of the town. not excepting the
days of u half century ago. when the
prosaic. oasy-going spirit of the people
ruled all things in "A social and COM
mercia way. The butcher, the baker
and candle stick maker of ancient
rhyme. and the cigar dealer the cigar
cite man of modern times were out of
business. They We're given an enforced
day of rest. which, how they
weren't the least bit appreciatiNe Of,
Judging from the caustic criticism
which The Tribune man heard or any
other man could hear. when an opinion
was sought on the new order OF things.
The opinion in most cases was FORTH
coming without even q hint.
Everybody had a rests irrespective of
how 1t was appreciated. The man be-
yond the cigar case in the drug store
wasn't behind the case. His chief oc-
cupation was dealing out cough syrup,
or watching the passing throng and
listening every now and then to the
complaining murnur of the regular
customer. who either forgot to lay in a
stock of smokers on Saturday night or
had smoked himself out. The pepsn
tutti-frutti man, except in one or two
instances was also out of Il job. but
prospective purchasers We're in just so
much. The only man who had any
thing to do was the news stand dealer,
who disposes of the Sunday encyclo-
paedias that requires a shawl strap to
carry one home.
1t cannot be said that all of the
saloons We're closed. All of them We're
not closed so tightly that it would re-
Quirc Il search warrant to gain admit
tance. This was also true of the un-
licensed places. which tiourished like u
picnic refreshment stand on a red-hot
Fourth of July. Those who wanted
able-bodied refreshments didn't con-
Germ themselves about the closed
saloons in the central part of town. but
went on a cross-country tramp to the
suburbs. where they got all they want
ed, and more than was for their good.
1t was like living on Easy street: it
was what Chuck tOnnors would call
the "graftest kind of Il graft saunter-
ing to the "speakeasies. where drinks
with tacks and kicks We're far mere
numerous than drinks of municipal
water. This can be taken as a hint to
to the officers of the law who would
bestir themselves If they would bring
about 4; consistent and uniform OBJ
servance of the Sunday law, which
they aim at impressng on the public in
their orders to cease all trade traffic on
Sunday.
Save for this disregard of the law. as
found in the unlicensed places. a few
saloons and one candy store or so, the
orders of the police We're Obeyed and
the Sunday. with these few exceptions,
was what was hoped for by those who
protested to the mayor against The
open violation of the Sabbath.

list served him so well. This led the
company's representative to jump at
the conclusion that Mr.. Moon was too
valuable man to his employers to be
out OF their employ and in a few days
along came an inviting offer from the

Commencing under these circum-

his ability.

Notice IL the Situation
Il Grows Desperate.

Washington, Sept. 6.-The Colombian
charge d'affaires, Mr.. Thomas Herran,
called at the state department and had
AN extended conference with Acting
Secretary Adee concerning the latest
phases of the trouble at and about the
isthmus of Panama and particularly
the official dispatches from Colombia
stating that Ecuador had cast her lot
against Colombia. Mr.. Herran pre-
sented the two dispatches received
Thursday one from Cali, near the
Ecuadorian frontier, and the other
from Panama.
Secretary Adee and Mr.. Herran went
over the situation on the Pacific and
the Atlantic sides and discussed the
steps which should be taken.
On the part of the United States the
presence of the Iowa and Ranger at
Panama will give large available
force. Colombia also has some small
craft Mt Panama, and 1t is expected
that ms a result of the new develop
ments these will be moved south to-
ward the Ecuadorian border.
On the Atlantic side Bocas del Toro
continues to be Il critical point, and
the navy department is preparing to
have a vessel there on short notice.

New York, Sept. 6.--Iocal merchants
whose business has been affected by
the dcpredations of the guerrilla bands
operating along the isthmlls of Panama
suggest that it Is about time the United
States landed troops under the treaty
with Colombia to put stop to the dis
turbances which arc injuring trade and
also declare that the shutting off of
military supplies to the insurgents
which are being shipped from this port
would do much toward ending the eX-
isting trouble.
The special report on the consign-
ment of arms and ammunition openly
shipped from this port during the week
ending Aug. 81 To the West Indies and
Central and South American countries
is as follows:

Japan is exceedingly anxious to

money she could win in struggle with

".Japan's fleet Is much superior to
that of Russia In the eastern waters.
.Iapan's army Is larger and is made up
Of bravpr and more intelligent men
than those composing Russia's forces
in China and AIanchuria.
Il think. however, that If Japan does
not fight Russia very soon her chances
of winning will deteriorate. Russia ~
present has no coaling station neal
Japan, but in two years the SiberiD
railway will be completed, and the
forces of the czar will then be in a
