Grated others to Jett being in front

leys from the courthouse window and saw
Curtis Jett firing from the courthouse at
Cockrill. He testified that two other mep

other witnesses who say that Immediately
after the shooting Jett came TO the front
of the courthouse door. Commonwealth

$2S5 worth of jewelry and so in money

same noiseless way in which he entered
He secured gold watch and chain and a
diamond sunburst and other valuable ar

The theft was reported TO the detective

but so far has met with little success The
thief entered the apartments of Mr. Mobiles
In the same manner in which entry was
effected to the apartments of John W.

TROOPS AT VICTOR, COL.
Meeting of the Free Coinage Union
Broken Up-NOnuniOnists Saved
by Philadelphia Police.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-As result of the
strike of the Philadelphia Union of the
International Association of Marble Work
ers, declared on Sept. IL, the executive COM
mittee of the National Association of Mar
BILE Dealers has ordered a lockout at all
mills and shops of the associations men,
bers. These shops, about forty in number,
are situated in Philadelphia, Baltimore.
Buffalo, Pittsburg, Cleveland. Cincinnati,
Chicago, Peoria, Milwaukee and st. Louis.
w. G. Gill. secretary of the Dealers Asso-.
ciation, said tonight that the lockout
would become operative next Monday.
Members of the association have been in
structed to shut down for three days, re-
open on Sept. "a, ''and thereafter run as
open shops without discrimination, ten
hours to constitute a days work in the
mill and nine hours to constitute a days
work in the shop, wages to be the same
as heretofore
CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-The action of the
employers will come a surprise to the
men who will know nothing OF the con-
templated shutdown until they report for
work on Monday. The action OF the dealers
is taken. because, they say, that the agree
ment made on March Is, lyOo, between
them and the officers of the marble workers
has been repudiated by the latter. Three
specifc instances of the violation of the
agreement are cited In the notices which
will be placed on the doors Monday morn
ing These are that the men have worked
Tor less wages than is called for in the
agreement, that they have worked on the
Dasis of a day longer tnan nine hours, ana
that they have handled and set work
turned out by men who received less wages
and worked longer hours than was called
for by the agreement between the marble
dealers and the marble workers. These
actions, the dealers say, have placed them
at a disadvantage compared with the men
to whom the men gave longer day at
less wages than to them. The agreement
is saiu to have been repuoiated by the
men on July 20, 1913.
After Thursday the dealers say that the
scale of wages Will be the same as has
been paid under the agreement with the
marble workers, but that ten hours will
constitute day in the marble mills and
nine hours gay in the shops.
1t is expected that the action of the
dealers will bring building Opei atoms to a
sudden close in ali cities in the country
where the members of the National Asso-
ciatlon of Marble Dealers have contracts.
The work will be resumed as rapidly as
that they will be able to carry out their
contracts without delay. About 5000 men
will be affected by the action of the marble
dealers.

stitute the dictates of prejudice and oppose
taxation as unequal which is imposed In

revoiuuon. will not charge that even this
neW-Iangled Democracy Is committed To So
cialism, but since the candidate declared in
pubic speech only a few days ago that
he favored socialism in mooera tion,' it
seems to me to be the first duty of CITIZEN
ship TO raise a warning hand against drift
ing in that dangerous direction. 1t is more
than disturbing in the threat to blast the
conditions OF our new worlds civilization
and plunge US into dire confusion; IL is in
opposition TO the Christian religion that has
been the chief factor In our civilization. In
its radical form, socialism-and socialism in
modern form must grow to socialism OF

all cherished teachings which have our
rel gious reverence. which give US confidence
in to-day and our best nope for the future
We are not inclined in Ohio TO sanction such
a disturbing tendency.
The only issue between the parties this
year, having reference TO taxation. is
whether taxes raised for the maintenance
of the state and its counties and municipal
ties shall be raised in accord with methods
long approved. not only In the State OF
Ohio, but in the other States of the Union,
and whether we shall make such Improve
ments by legislation as experience has
taught us can be safely made for the bentfit
of all citizens OF the State, or whether We
shall discard all recognized proper methods
of taxation and adopt the methods based
upon the speculative theories OF Henry
George and his followers.
