Montgomery, July 30.-Reports received here by the central office of the govern ment weather department indicate a se- rious condition of drouth in Alabama

Will Not Interfere.

 The guard was armed with a Winches- ter, she said, and was employed by the Collins Colliery company upon whose property the postoffice is located.
 The defense put several witnesses on the stand to prove the conduct of Deputy United States Marshal Cunningham and the guards who were working under him. Cunningham was playing the part of federal officer part of the time and as captain of the armed guards the balance of the time, according to these witnesses. Mrs. Zola Stahl testified that Cunningham came to her house and used insulting language to her. Others testified of the I frequency with which Cunningham drew his weapon and cursed them. Judge Kel- CT did not admit this testimony Tn ex- tenuation of the actions of the defend- ants on trial.
 Mitchell Will Not Talk.
 Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 3O.-President Mitchell was shown an Associated Press dispatch from Shenandoah tonight giv- ing the news of the serious riot there. MT. Mitchell said it was too bad, but in the absence of full particulars he did not care to express an opinion.
 It has been known, however. that ever since Monday MT. Mitchell has been in communication with the leaders of the miners union in the Schuylkill region and as he has always favored peace, it is presumed he warned his subordinate officers to keep their followers in con- trol. It was Alr Mitchel's intention to visit the Schuyllkill region this week, but press of business so far has kept him at headquarters. It Is reported that the Raub Coal company at Luzerneborough has offered to take back all it's own en- gineers, pumpmen and firemen and give them an eight-hour day if they will re- turn to work at once
 It is said the company has more or less trouble keeping its mine free from water with the new men employed since the old hands quit work. The application of the company has been referred to the district board of United Mine Workers. It is not believed the other men will be allowed to return to work.

STILL TALKING TO KELLER.
Strong Probability That He Will Be
an Oriole Next Season.

Willie Keeler Is again a figure of central
interest in the base ball world. The great
players services are In demand and Brook
Ign and Detroit have offered salaries better
than 5000 for his services. 1t has been
rumored that he may yet be landed to play
in Baltimore, and, with Joe Kelly and the
present team, make up club Of all stars
that would be a big money maker at home
and on the road.
1t Is the belief of those on the inside that
Kelly has practically concluded arrange
ments by which he and close relative by
marriage are to become possessed of stock
in the Baltimore club, with the understand
ing that he play with the Orioles. 1t is be-
lieved that some such arrangement may be
attempted with Keller, with the result that
Baltimore would again have a base ball
team that would create enthusiasm every
where if playing records of men are any
criterion of what they are capable.
Keeler's actions yesterday in Baltimore,
says the American of that city, were strong
ly confirmatory of these beliefs. He spent
his time in conference with Secretary Harry
Goldman, Captain Wilbert Robinson and Jo-
seph Kelly, and from the way they kept
their heads together 1t was plain that they
were not talking over the different ways in
which one may pick ones teeth. A visit
from Hugh Jennings Is not an impossible
ity, and Hugh may yet get into the game.
All these possibilities are apt to make the
mind of the fan leap to the sunny day ex-
pected next spring, when the big band will
lead the parade to American League Park,
players riding in broughams proud at the
public homage.
