was shot, brushed past Turner and
got out of the Office. AS they left the
room more shots were heard. followed
by two heavy falls. There was con-
sternation in the office. Clerks. boys
and several women employees were for
a few minutes too frightened to do
anything.
When persons connected with the law
offices ventured back into the room
they found the three bodies lying close
together.
on Turner's body was found an UNI
signed telegram reading: Telephone
message received. VIII accept $2.f00
either from Hamilton or Mallard."
ON Turner's corpse the coroner also
found certified check for 1900. The
latter is regarded as throwing a pc
culiar light on the case. for 1t Is
thought to indicate that Turner went
to the office with the probable inten-
ton of paying the sum of money
which was to have settled the difficult
ty. If he did intend TO pay, it is
argued. he changed his mind suddenly
and decided to kill.
Edgar Nj. Leventritt. who was Tur-
ner's counsel in the affair preceding
the tragedy and who was present in
the room at the time the shooting be-
gan, made a statement tonight, In
which he defended Turner against the
charge that he was a defauter.
MIR. Turner" he said. was not a
defaulter He did not criminally mis-
appropriate the funds of the Climax
Bottle Company"
According TO Mr.. Leventritt. Turner
had originally put up $4,000 i'm cash.
His overdrafts amounted to $500,
leaving $1,000 practically which remain

which the latter accepted and the deal
was closed. Turner believed that this
transaction relieved him of all connec-
tion with the firm, and closed all ac-
counts. Asked why Turner had been
prevailed upon to agree to give up a
check for 5000 to settle with Hamilton
and Mallard, MIR. Leventritt said:
Turner was influenced by the fact,
az | am Informed, that he was expect
ing political appointment. which
would be made impossible IL the least
hint of irregularity. however, unfound-
ed. should be made against him"
The body of Turner was tonight

Upon our past record we are will
ing to stand or fall. We have, time
ana time again, invited the anthracite
operators to adopt these business meth
obs and to deal with us on this basis
Despite repeated rebuffs we persisted,
but they resented any attempt upon
our part to organize their employees;
they refuse our overtures for amicable
discussion and possible satisfactory ad-
Justment of wage differences in joint
conference.
When the inevitable conflict came
on they attempted to justify them
selves upon the false plea that ours is
an irresponsible organization; when
we demonstrated our responsibility
they then asserted that we We're a
lawless organization, dominated by vi
olence. When society attempted to in
terfere to settle the strike they de-
clared their divinely appointed right to
be let alone. When representatives of
national and state governments tried
to mediate, they resented such med
ding by politicians But, thanks to
you, Mr.. President, and to the power of
public opinion, they have been brought
to realization of the fact that the
interests and welfare of the American
people cannot be ignored with impun-
ity.
Confidence in the Tribunal.
by the eminent tribunal which you
have named we have confidence that
justice will be done our people. We
are glad to have a chance to appear
before such a court empowered to con-
slider and dispose of all questions at
issue. First among these is the de-
mand of the mine workers for in
creased wages and a reduction in the
hours of labor; second, is the. relations
which ought to exist between the en-
ployers and the organization which the
men have formed and which they au-
thorize to speak for them

Ten days ago the dead bodies of
Farmer Hicks, his wife and daughter
were found in the Hicks home and
Sheriff Spradley Immediately began to
search for the perpetrator of the
crime. A week later Jim Buchanan
was arrested and finally confessed to
the triple murder.
The news of the negro's confession
spread rapidly and a mob of several
hundred people marched upon the
sheriff and his deputies with the
avowed intention of securing possession
of the negro and burning him at the
stake. Sheriff Spradley and his dep

SALT AND PEPPER.
Many Think They Are Only of Value
In Seasoning Food.

Salt and pepper. as generally consid-
cred, are of value in bringing out the
flavor of the food to which they are
added. That they have any value from
a health standpoint is not so generally
recognized. You may know that
lump of salt is good for a horse, but
you do not stop to consider how impor-
tant salt is for your own we'll being.
In eastern countries the condiments.
such as pepper, are used to profusion
in all foods. Gastric troubles common
enough in other countries are conspic-
uously absent, and the free use OF
pepper has much to do with that fact.
Salt and pepper work against fermen-
tatiOn. When the stomach is out of or
der, or. as the common saying is, upset,
It is In state Of fermentation.
A certain very wise physician who
has advanced to the point whore drugs
seem the unimportant thing and com
mon sense Tie important in making the
sick well is advocating the use Of pep
per and salt even in a glass of milk.
Il improves the flavor to Il remarkable
degree fact you can prove to your
own satisfaction by taking two glasses
Of milk, one in it's original simplicity.
the other changed by the addition of
pinch OF salt and a dash of pepper,
then sip little Of each. The chances
are that you will prefer the seasoned
milk. BESIDES improving the flavor
and overcoming the tendency toEar&
fermentation the pepper will pracil-
cally disable any microbes that may
be floating in the fluids. Thus the gas
tric juices will perform their perfect
work of changing microbes to food.
One of the best remedies for dis
turbed digestion is hot water to which
have been adt'ed salt and paprika. If
taken a full hour and half before
breakfast. cupful Of this very palata-
bic drink will completely cleanse the
stomach and leave it in good condition.

their final report, rejecting upon a
certain person or persons, as an in
dlctment or accusation which should
put any person upon trial.
The report of the Cochise county
grand jury, made to the court. was
not one that Judge Davis could recog-
nize either as an indictment or accusa-
ton against any person, and no judge
possessing the we'll recognized legal
attainments of Judge Davis could very
we'll avoid calling the attention OF the
grand jury to that which was plainly
improper and wrong in their conduct
ana action.
Judge Davis known ability and his
uniform fair and honorable action up
on the bench should place him beyond
such criticism as INDUCED in by the
writer of said article. The law pre-
sumes. irrespective of the report of
the Cochise county grand jury, that
the person appointed by Judge Davis
to an honorable position is Innocent

fense ana that presumption must at
all times be indulged unless the per-
son in question should, in due course
of law. be- found guilty of such an
offense. | doubt that there is upon
the bench in this or any other civilized
community any judge who would not
feel imperatively called upon 10 crit
else such action as that INDUCED by
the late Cochse county grand jury in
the matter in question, and, In doing
this, Judge Davis performed, perhaps,
an unpleasant but at the same tinve an
imperative duty. Even by the ordi-
nary laymen and the general readers
OF your paper it might reasonably be
presumed that Judge Davis is better
qualified to judge of his duties in the
matter in question than is the writer
of the article to which reference is
