ten have died during the past quarter,
and of a total of 300 county convicts
twenty-five have died during the quarter,
making total of thirtytwo deaths out
of total Of 800 convicts. The report
says that this is a mortality rate 25 per
cent greater than in the other convict
camps combined in the state. 1t is stated
in the report that the company made re-
peated promises to take the convicts
from the Coalburg mines, but as yet
nothing has been done. Governor Jelks
was greatly surprised at the conditions
prevailing in the camp and he will take
prompt action to have the conditions
remedied.

Hancock County was shot from ambush
and killed. The crime was charged to
Jim Wright, John Templeton, another
murderer, and the latter's brothers. His
motive was that Lagre had killed the
father of the Templetons.
Recently officers have been planning to
trap Wright in his home and he, together
with John Templeton and other members
of his gang. crossed the state line into
Virginia. They had been in Scott Coun-
ty about month. Today the sheriff or
ganized a strong posse and attempted to
arrest the gang. Five of the sheriff's
posse were killed and two others, Depu-
ty Sheriffs Joe Moss and Sam Wax
wounded.
Wright was wounded and captured but
all the other members of his gang es-
capped. They are being pursued but the
mountains of the county afford them pos
sible chance of escape.

years-a record Of uninterrupted service
unsurpassed by any man who has ever

net candidate for reelection II is
distinctly recalled that before the close
Of the last session Of Congress he made
public announcement OF his wish and
purpose permanently to retire from pub
lie life with the expiration of this Con
gTess next March, and as he has nos
made any public announcement Of chang

meant literally what he said in the

WASHINGTON'S DEVELOPMENT

itself obvious to the eyes even Of
those who failed utterly to comPre-
bend the meaning of the world
changes caused by the American
Spanish war. The fact of Washing
tons vastly augmented Importance
among the worlds great capitals has
been markedly in evidence. Foreign
newspapers devote a closer attention
TO Washington news and give up more
space to the printing of such news.
The eyes OF the master diplomatists of
Europe are turned toward this Capt.
tai with a SOLICITORS regard which was
one entirely lacking. The men Sc
lected for diplomatic posts in the
American Capital are now invariably
men of the first order IN ability and
training
The final meaning of the new situa-
ton Is that Washington must, IN the
very nature of things. SO develop
within the next few years as to amaze
even the most sanguine advocates Of
District betterment and of the city's
continued Identification. Especially
must this development be markedly
notable IN the social direction. As the
natural and legitimate center of
American society, Washington Is as
certain TO hold the station occupied by
London IN England, by Paris IN
France, BY Berlin in Germany, as
that It shall also be an international
news center Of 50 great Importance
as TO command the personal presence
of the foremost European corrsspon-
dents.

In my judgment the only thing that could he ae
compshed by called session of Congress to deal with
the coal strike would he TO amend the Sherman antitrust
law so as to make it more effective national arbtra-
ton law would not be applicable to the strike, for the
reason that interstate commerce Is not involved the
mining of coal The Legislature Of Pennsylvania, how
ever, could pass compulsory arbitration law which
would be effective in dealing with the strike
But there Is now sufficient law the statute books
