Unfortunate for the farmer, some one
else has always fixed the price on the
stuff that he sells as we'll as that
which he Is forced to buy tor con-
sumption at home.
1t Is certainly true that we feed the
world, and 1t Is also true that we are
the greatest consumers of all other
classes, yet we have never been per-
mitted to price that which we have to
sell, and nobody has ever dreamed
that we should have any thing to say
as to the price of what we have to
buy.
We are of the opinion that we
should assert our independence and
demand fair and equitable price

MISTRIAL
Is Entered In The Gillespie
Case.
Jury Out FOrty-tw0 Hours and
an Excused Juror Com
mitted Suicide.

Rising Sun, Ind, May 29.-After
celebrating forty-two hours without
coming to an agreement, Judge Dow.
uey discharged the jury In the Giles
pie case this morning. When the
jury was brought into the court
room, Judge Downey asked them
whether there was any probability
of agreeing on a verdict, and every
one OF the twelve men shook his head
In the negative. Judge Downey then
thanked them and dismissed them
from further service.
Prosecutor McMullen said that the
State would oppose any effort on the
part of the defense to release James
Gillespie, and stated that the case
would come up again next Septem-
Der.
At the present time, the four de-
PENDANTS are in the same position as
they were before the trial began, as
the bonds of those released from GUS
tody are continued.
Whether or not the defense will
elect to be tried separately or jointly,
as on this trial, the future will de-
termine.
1t is said that a motion will be
made before Judge Downey to release
James Gillespie from custody and de-
clare him acquitted. In the event
that this motion is overruled the de-
Tense will ask that James Gillespie be
admitted to bail along with the other
three defendants, Mr.. and Mrs. Bar
bour and Mrs. Seward, who were In
dicted with him. Should the writ OF
habess corpus be denied by Judge
Downey, the matter will be taken to
the Supreme Court of the State.
August Greiwe who was Or the
jury originally but afterwards ex-
cused committed suicide last night.
1t Is said he lost his mind worrying
overlthe Gillespie case, and immagin-
ed that James Gillespie was trying to
kill him.

IN A MEASURE APPROVED.
for Mutual Benefit and for
Lending Money!

In reference to the published statement
that the so-caIled "symposums'' or money
lending groups and relief associations In
the government printing Office have been
the cause of vigorous complaints on account
Of charging high interest" Mr.. Oscar J.
Ricketts,, foreman of printing, said today
to a Star reporter that while the officials
of the big printery discourage money lend
ing and borrowing on general principles
especially when high and uSurious rates
of interest are exacted, still If the employees
of the Office are compelled to borrow sums
in an emergency for instance, he believes
it is better for them to secure the loans
from their fellow workmen, If they can
than to patroniZe the class of shylocks who
once infested the government printing Office,
in common with the other departments, or
worse still, to be compelled to pawn their
watches or other property.
Referring to a relief association composed
of employees of the government printing
Office, Mr.. Ricketts, said it had been of great
benefit to the members in cases of sickness
and death. That while the officials may in
dorse the association for the good 1t ac-
complishes, they have no official connection
with 1t.
The "symposiums" at the government
printing Office are said to be counterparts
Of similar money-lending associations in the
executive departments and private est;.b-
lishments.
The question having arisen as to whether
the departmental "symposiums'' were v;o-
lating the license laws, of the District by
conducting business as money lenders with
out paying a tax therefor inquiry was
made at the office of Assessor Darneille
today concerning the matter. 1t was stated
that such money-lending combinations do
not come under the law, as can be seen
from the following proviso to the tax law
covering note brokers and other money
lenders:
Provided, that exception shall be made of
cooperative associations whose business is
restricted to the members of such associa-
ton"
In regard to the other causes of COM
plant" in the publication referred to con-
corning the relief association, 1t was stated
that steps have been taken to remedy them

William Holmead was born in the Dis
trict and was educated at Columbian Uni
versity now the George Washington Uni
versity. He began his business career
with a grocery store on Whitney avenue

Gently he was a director of the Citizens
National Bank, and before retiring from
active life on account of his health he was
the German-American Building Assocla-
ton. Mr. Holmead's interest in District
affairs were wide, and his cooperation could
always be counted on in any move toward
progress in local matters.
Democratic in Politics.
Always a stanch democrat and ready to
take part in any effort to further the In
terests of his party, he was constantly In
volved in political activities. When the
District was a self-governing municipality
he never lost chance to take part in a
fight for the supremacy of democratic prin-
cipleS in the government. Heswas several
times chosen to represent the District DEM
ocrats at national conventions and helped
both times to nominate Mr.. Bryan. He
was a democrat of the old school in many
ways and an active member of the Jackson
Democratic Club.
Mr.. Holmead was a most charitable man
and was a devoted husband and father.
Many members of the Jackson Democratic
Club have signifed their intention of at
tending the funeral services Thursday
morning. and resolutions of sympathy will
be presented for adoption at the next meet
ing Of the organization, which will be held
in about a week.
