Again the Consumers League calls
the attention OF women in the large
cltios to their opportunity to aid both
the working girls and the merchants by
DONG their Christmas shopping now, be-
fore the Christmas turmoil is upon US.
Last winter" to quote the appeal,
two thirds of the establishments on the
white list Of the Consumcrs' League were
closed for the evening during that ter
rible week before Christmas. In the
remaining stores, looking at the worn
and tired faces of those behind the coun-
tiers and the nervous and tense ones be-
for them. one could but wonder if this
were tho proper prelude to wishes for
peace and good will to men, In the
hands of the shoppers lies the solution.
If they will buy early in the season
and early in the day, there need be no
such pressure"
While much is to be said in extenuaton
Of many mothers with little children
and no one to leave them with during
the day, the fact remains that for purely
personal reasons, as we'll as humanitarian
ones, the woman who can do the bulk
of her shopping before the last mad rush,
acts the part of wisdom. Nothing is
more wcarisome or unsatisfactory than
shopping in a crowd: and the gift that
utterly exhausts the giver in its getting,
is not to be enVied.
Unless one has begun her Christmas
gifts and shopping early in the season
there is much uncertainty toward the
end in know ing what to get, Every year
brings the same tantalzing dilemma. a
woman of experience says that she
makes it a point to spend one day in
early December making Il round of the
shops, but not permitting herself to be
beguilcd into purchasing. She goes with
notebook and pencil and puts down
and where seen. Then at home she goes
over her list Of prospective Christmas
recipients. consults her notebook, and
makes her decisions. This done the
shopping is comparatively easy to accom-
plish.

That was the request made Tuesday
morning by Henry White of Peeksville,
N. Y, when he was arraigned before
Judge Hawkins in city court. White said
he blow into Burlington Monday looking
for a job but found whiskey instead and
came to himself in jail.
He did not think much of the crowd OF
prisoners at the Jail and they evidently
had been having some fun with him for
he said one of them told him he was there
for 20 years and he expected to get two
or three years on top of that.
Judge Hawkins said he was sorry he
could not accommodate White but that
he had no discretion in the matter and and
told White he would have to spend the
next 10 days in Jail unless he could pay
a fine of So and costs of 1919. This White

STRIKE RIOT IN DETROIT.
One Man Shot Through the Neck and
Several Others Badly njure
in Labor War.

Detroit, Mich, April 10.-Michael
Sullivan, of Walkersville, Ont, was
shot through the neck and a number
of other men were slightly injured in
a fight which took place at the foot
of Joseph Campau avenue here Thurs
day night in a collision between strik-
ers and non-union workmen of the
Canadian Bridge Co.'S works, located
in Walkerville, across the river from
Detroit. The police arrested four
men, all of whom were non-union
workmen of Detroit, who had been
filing the strikers places at Walker
Vile, and were just returning home
from their days work. 1t is al
legged that the strikers and their SYM
pathizers followed the non-union men
from the works at the close of the
day with the deliberate intention of
making trouble as soon as they
reached the American shore. There
were probably 200 men, including both
factions, and the fight began as soon
as they had left the ferry at the De-
troit wharf.
The prisoners registered as George
E. Kennedy, Fred Metzner, Gustav
Adams and Julius Stalter, of Detroit.
1t is alleged that Kennedy fired the
first shot and that it was he who shot
Sullivan. During the fight most OF
the Canadians were driven back to the
ferry and across the river.

BULLETS FLY AT CARBONDALE.
John II. Melton Shot and Probably
Fatally Wounded BY Garfield
and John ShndOwens.

Carbondale, ILL.,, April 10.-John r.
Melton was shot and probably fatally
injured by Garfield and John Shadow
ems, his brothers-in-law, Thursday.
The shooting occurred during a fight
in which the Shadowens brothers
sought to arrange for the care Of
their sister and her husband, Melton.
The Shadowens brothers were arrest
ed. They allege self-defense.
The Shadowens family has figured
in two other shooting affrays in south
ern Illinois. In 1889 Wesley Shadow
ems, father of the prisoners, and
Lemuel and Charles Shadowens, broth
ers of the prisoners, were indicted
with nine other prisoners for the kill
ing of five negroes in the streets of
Cartersville- During the campaign of
1900 James Jordan was killed in the
special train which conveyed Samuel
Alschuler, candidate for governor of
Illinois. Lemuel Shadowens con
fessed to the killing of Jordan while
Robert Hodfield was on trial for the
crime. The confession was not be-
lieved and Hodfeld was sent to prison
for the killing Of Jordan.

GOING OUT OF COMMISSION
Damage to the BattIeship Iowa
Found to Be Greater Than at
First Reported.

Pensacola, Fla, April 1.-THE dam
age to the battlesil.r Iowa eau .cd by
the premature expIo sion of a sn...I in
the forward port 12-inch gun has de-
veloped to be more serious than was
thought when the first examination
was made and as a consequence the
big ship has been ordered to the New
York navy yard to go out of commis-
sion. She steamed down to the PEN
sacola navy yard Friday, where she
is fitting out with supplies and coal
preparatory to sailing as soon as pos
sible to the north.
1t is known that three decks, includ-
ing the upper deck in the forward
part of the ship, will have to be en-
tirely removed and rebuilt. 1t is
feared that the steel supports under
the 12-inch port turret are sprung to
such an extent that they will have to
be removed, though this can not yet
be stated positively. The gun itself is
q hopeless wreck. Although the gun
which burst went into numberless
pieces the end of the gun is as smooth
as if it had been turned out of a shop,
and except that it is about twelve
feet shorter than the starboard gun
it is hardly noticeable that an explo-
sion occurred. According to the rec
ord of the exploded gun, it was good
for at least another year of service,
and reports that the gun had been
condemned are without foundation.

the alleged misuse of the contingent
funds; use of a private a furnished
by the Choctaw railway and accept
ance of coal from a concern which
was supplying the states institutions,

intention to pay for it. Three mem

Gov. Davis and the members of the
penitentiary board from acts of a
criminal nature. A motion was de-
feated to postpone further consider

motion is now being discussed TO ac-
