BAR ASSOCIATION AT DENVER
Lawyers Of the West Will Attend the
First Meeting Ever Had in
the RoclieS

A number of Butte lawyers are pre-
pairing to attend the meeting of the
American Bar Association which will
be held at Denver, Col. August 21-23.
This is the twenty fourth annual
session of the association and it's meet
ings have generally been held in the
east, thus preventing the western law
yers from attending in numbers. The
meeting has never been held west of
the Mississippi river before and Butte
lawyers have generally failed to travel
to the eastern cities in which the meet
ings We're held. This year. however, a
large contingent from Butte will go to
the meeting.

would be cut but not the hat. From the
fact that light was found on the three
hundred station it was fair to conclude
that Thomas was working there tust
before he was hurt.
Mine Inspector John Burns took part
IN the inspection of the stump after It
had been cleared of water last night, and
he testified that the wedges in the stump
with their sharp edges uppermost. It
was his belief that Thomas fell into the
shaft and struck on his head on one Of
these wedges. He could see no other way
to account for the wound in the latter's
scalp.

TIME CARDS ARE PLENTIFUL
They Go Out Of Railway Offices in a
Constant Stream-Thousands
Used Each Month.


Probably not one person in a thou
sand who travel on the railroads would
guess the number of time tables used
in the ordinary course of business" said
an discovering local ticket agent, as
group of casual visitors dropped in,
and each pocketed one or more folders,
without buying single ticket for the
crowd.
Each Of the roads with headquar-
ters in Butte will distribute on the av-
erage not less than 1000 of it's own time
cards month, besides the many thou
sands for other connecting roads. This
number may be greatly increased if
some especially attractive booklet is
gotten out, and put where the pub
lie can have free access to the pile
Probably not less than 100000 folders
are distributed annually from the Butte
offices. The hotels are supplied with
folders, and many are used there. What
becomes of them? l give it up. Children
tear them to pieces, l have no doubt;
they go into the waste paper basket or
serve to start the kitchen fire-and the
men who get the most of them travel
little, or never at all. A great deal of
this printed material is a dead loss.
''Some of the later publications are
real art gems, worthy place on any
center table, Especially is this true over
the western roads, which endeavor to
show uD their scenic advantages. The
eastern roads. as rule. make more Of
their fast time. while in the west, beau-
tiful scenery. crop reports and alluring
tales Of untold wealth are more COM

COTTON TIES SCARCE
STRIKE OF STEEL WORKERS PRE-
sENTS SERIOUS PROBLEM.
MAY STOP COTTON MOVEMENT
UNLESS 1T BE ADJUSTED BEFORE
HEAVY SHIPMENTS BEGIN.

savannah Factors Handle Between
son.-Not More Than 5000 Now on
Hand and Manufacturer Can't Fill
Contracts-Factors Have Restrict
ed Sales Each to His own Gus
tomers-Normal Price of Ties $1.O5
a Bundle, Some Now Being Held
for S1.s5.
A shortage of cotton ties that will
affect not only Savannah and the sur
rounding cotton growing country, but
the whole of the cotton belt, Is already
being felt here, and as a result the
price of ties, usually $1.05 bundle,
now ranges from s11O to SIPS a bundle.
and at least one party is holding a lot
of 1000 for s1.35.
The shortage is caused by the strike
of the Amalgamated Association of
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers and the
consequent shutdown of the Steel
of the tie supply. Savannah is not only
the distributing point for ties for all
the cotton-growing states east of the
Mississippi, but through its factors,
sells in this territory and in Alabama
between $4,000 and 10000 bundles a sea-
son.
Contracts with the manufacturers
were made early in the year, January.
February and March, for a quantity
sufficient to meet this demand and the
factors had every reason to believe
20 he CT - % 1<ne- kt.kH f.o.
part of it had been made up long be-
fore the strikers went out but to their
urgent demand for. shipments on con-
tracts, made since the opening of the
season, they have been told that stock
to meet the contracts was not on hand.
The manufacturers stated that they
had only a small quantity of ties and
and that they would be prorated
among the factors.
AS the contracts between factors and
manufacturer contain the strike clause,
releasing the manufacturer from his
obligation in case of a strike, the fac
tors have no redress, will have to take
such stock as they can get, sell 1t for
what it will bring and content them
selves as best they can under the cir
cumStances.
Already the demand on the Savannah
factors has become so great, though
the movement of cotton can hardly be
said to have begun, that the majority
of them are forced to restrict their
sales to their own customers, even
though fancy prices are being offered
by others. 1t is estimated that there
is not more than from 5000 to 5000 hun
dies of ties in the city, and each oun-
die will furnish ties for but five bales
of cotton.
There are a few mills other than the
one at Pittsburg, that make ties; one
CT these is in Rome, another in AZ
lanta, and still another at Youngstown,
Ohio, but the aggregate output of these,
even should the Ohio mill escape trou-
BILE with the strikers, will not come
anywhere meeting the demand.
A prominent factor said yesterday
that the present supply can last but
very short time, and as soon as the
cotton crop begins to move freely, I'M
less the strike has been settled by that
time, either the cotton growers will
have to pay tremendously heavy prices
for their ties or practically stop ship
ling their product

MAMIE MAHONEY RELEASED.
Maynard white Girl Sent to wash
ington Reform school.

Mamie Mahoney, the young white
girl who has been in confinement at
the police station for the past two
months, and about whom so much has
been written, was released yesterday
morning, and leaves to-day for a re-
formatory at Washington. The girl
has been considered hopelessly lost, but
those who have her in charge now be-
leve that she will lead better life in
the future.
Dozens of times she was picked up
in the Tenderloin district by the police,
and for days was kept at the police sta
ton. Little over two months ago she
was sent to Jacksonville. but only re-
manned there a day. Upon her return
to the city, she was again arrested and
Supt. Reilly stated that he would not
some reform school.
The girl had been expelled from
home in Baltimore, and the officer was
not disposed to allow her to wander
through the Tenderloin at all hours of
the night and morning. She was kept
at the station house. and mingled free
ly with the negro work hands, when
she was permitted to walk around for
a breath of fresh air. The lady who
took an interest in the Mahoney girl
secured for her place in the school in
Washington, and the hayward child
discarded her rags for fine raiment,
when she left the custody OF the police.
Mamie says she intends to begin anew,
but the police have doubts about 1t.

Patrolman Allen Broom varied the
usual monotony of a policeman's life
yesterday morning by arresting and

usually large one. growing tired of the
pickings to be had around the streets
and squares, climbed the stoop of DIR.

and started down for the street and
liberty He had got half way down and
with plenty of Roadway on when
Broom nabbed him by the horns. The
goat couldn't stop, and his captor
wouldn't let go, and both rolled the re-
mainder of the way to the sidewalk.

BROKE HooDoo SPELLS.
Root Doctors Medicine Made His

Root Doctors Medicine Made His
Patient Sick and Arrest Followed.
]. ]. Brown, negro who says that
he is from Florida, is held at the po-
lice station on a charge of getting in
some hoodoo work on Wash Furgerson,
a colored resident of the West Side.
The charge entered on the police blot
ter by Bicycle Officer Cristy is that
of 'practicing medicine without proper
regulations. contrary to the laws of
Georgia." This is only the formal
charge, and the real story is one of
roots and charms, with Brown as the
main cheese.
Furgerson claims that the spell was
cast upon him by an old woman, and
that the genuine article in the shape
of roots and bones was put some where
around his home. Brown had always
held himself up as an 'iconoclast'
when it came to dealing with spells,
and Furgerson knew that the Florida
negro had several patients. The man
who claimed to be able to work the
rabbit foot successfully against local
hoodoo artists was employed at a gro
Gerry store, but 1t developed after his
arrest that the grocery business was
only side line.
Brown told Furgerson not to worry
and that he would fix him up for IS so.
Furgerson agreed at once to pay the
amount asked for relief, and forked it
out. In return Brown gave him
something to plant under his back
steps, and bottle of medicine of some
sort. Brown declared that the LIQUID
and the roots would put the witch out
of business, and promised that if Fur
gerson took the medicine he would not
be troubled again with strange pains.
The hoodooed negro thought the cure
| cheap and started in as directed.
He complains to the police that the
medicine given him by Brown made
him ill and that for some time it was
thought that he was going to die. He
mentioned the matter to a friend, who
advised the arrest of Brown The
prisoner was taken in charge by officer
Cristy, but stoutly denied the accusa-
ton. He declared that he was not so
ignorant as to believe in spells or isms.
and that he had told Ferguson that all
talk of his being hoodooed was bosh.
He had never given the man any treat
ment of any sort, and certainly he had
not been paid any money Brown in
sisted that he took no stock in such
| matters, but appeared greatly dis
turbed.
officer Cristy discovered that Brown
had quite number of patients and
had been paying visits when he should
have been attending to his duties as a
porter in the grocery store. Brown
was sent out each morning in a buggy
| to take orders and frequently staid
several hours. The officer charges that
the negro would drive around to see
his patients, after he had taken or
ders for groceries. The alleged hoodoo
doctor will be given a preliminary ex-
animation by Mayor Myers in Police
Court this morning

There will be a game of baseball at
the Bolton Street Park this afternoon
between the teams of the Catholic Ii
brary Association and team from
Fort Screven, playing under the name
of the Fourteenth Company Coast Ar
tillery.
The men from the fort have been
longing for a game with one of the
local teams all season, and now that
they have a chance at one of the
strongest teams in the city, they are
going to put up a hard game. The
artillerymen have strong team, and
are in splendid practice. There are
several teams at the fort and they have
games frequently, so that the men are
all limbered up. Dolcon, who will be
on the slab. is said to be a good
twirler, and Watson, the backstop. has
played professional ball and knows how
to work a pitcher.
The Library team will have a new
man in the box in the person of Charlie
Schley. Schley has been tried out as
a pitcher in practice and Capt. Charl-
ton was determined to work him in a
game to-day. He has a strong arm,
plenty of speed and, If his control is
good, he ought to pitch a good game.
Schley pitched one of the games the

and showed up fairly well.

Caused Moderately High Winds and
N Fall I'm Temperature.

The storm that struck New Orleans
and vicinity Thursday REACHED Savan-
nah yesterday in mild way, that Is
