The Butte Business Mems association
last night petitioned Gov. Toole to call an

will be transferred 20 the supreme court

will be reached within two or three
weeks

So far the governor has refused to COM

ing Jett and White.

JACKSON, KY, May 3~.-Sunday was a
quiet day in Jackson save for the inspection
in the morning and an unusually large
number of curious visitors from the county.
Saturday night was without special incl
dent. Fearing that a weapon or saw might
have been passed to Jet or White by some
visitor, Colonel Williams took the precau-
ton to nave every cell in the Jail examined.
While nothing was found. the authorities
felt easier when the search was completed.
Nothing had occurred to arouse Colonel
Williams's suspicious, but 1t was remem-
bered that when Jet was in Jail here last
winter under a peace bond OF 5000. a crow
bar and a Ratchet were taken to him and
he found no difficulty in liberating himself.
He was not rearrested or reincarcerated
While probabilities are against his secur-
ing anything as large as a crowbar or even
as small as a saw, it is believed that he
would not hesitate to attempt to saw out
and rush the guards if the opportunity were
offered. He is noted for daring acts and
among his element is regarded as a hero.
He displayed remarkable courage only a
few weeks ago when he plunged into the
river during a freshet and saved the life of
Jailer Spencer's son who was drowning. i.
Due to a misunderstanding, Jet and
White have been occupying the same cell.
Colonel Williams ordered the men to be
kept separated.

SITUATION WILL BE WORSE.
Breathitt County Mans View of the
Effect of the Trials.

LEXINGTON, KY, May 31.-The Herald
will tomorrow publish a sensational inter-
view with a citizen of Jackson, now here,
In which he gives his views as to what may
be expected when the troops are withdrawn
from Breathitt county. After reviewing
conditions he argues that no permanent
troops and the pending trials, but on the
troops and the pending trials, but on thee
contrary that they will only aggravate the
troubles that have cursed Rreathitt county.
For the accused to be tried in Breathitt
county under present conditions, he says,
the whole thing will be a farce, and con-
tinues:
when the troops are removed there will
either be an exodus of anti-Hargis men or
has heretofore happened in Kentucky"
He thinks the trial will only serve to
align a large majority of the population on
one or the other side. He claims that GER
tain county officials are interested In Sc
curing the %acquittal of the men accused of
murder and predicts that they therefore
will be acquitted, the troops withdrawn and
then God only knows what will happen"
special grand jury is now known and pre-
served and that more men have been
marked.
He says the information that Tom White
was indicted was known to Whites friends
before the warrant itself was drawn and
that an official started a messenger to warn
White. The squad Of soldiers outrode the
messenger. He says that B. j. Little, the
elisor, has won the mortal enmity of the
Hargis faction and when the troops leave
Little had best ACCOMPANY them. Recall
ing incidents that are significant to resi-
dents ne says of the effect:

Textile WOrkers-LabOr News.

CHICAGO, May 31.-The indications to-
night are that the threatened strike of the
restaurant employees throughout Chicago
will begin tomorrow. The demands Of the
employees, which amount to an increase of
20 per cent. in the wage scale and a ten
hour day, will be made on a number of the
weaker restaurants tomorrow morning to
force the issue. If the demands are refused
by the employers the officials of the Wait
ers' Union declare that the men will be
ordered out on strike.
The officials of the Restaurant Keepers
Association issued a statement tonight
which said that no concessions would be
made to the employees, Int that If a
strike were declared on any of the restau-
rants a general lockout would be declared
in all the restaurants that were members
of the association. Should such action be
taken It would result In closing up all the
principal restaurants of Chicago.
The restaurant owners says that the de-
mands of employees are unreasonable and
that unless the union agrees to arbitrate
the difficulty a lockout is sure to follow.
