NoN-uNION MAN CHOKED.
Styikers Set Upon and Mn1trented
 Negro at Fort Worth.


 Fort Worth, Tex, July 22-But four of the strikers applied for work at the Swift and Armour plants to-day when the whistle blew.
 The great majority of the men pre- ferred to wait reports of the committee that had been appointed to treat with the packers. The report Of the com mittee was not satisfactory to the men, being in effect that the packers would take back only such men as they could with no intention of letting go those who had been engaged since the strike began. In the midst of stormy meeting the order of President Don nelly was received to put the strike in effect again, and pickets were at once placed around the plants. The first attack on non-union man occurred at noon. A negro laborer was set upon by a squad of union pickets and choked. He managed to escape without serious injury. A force of dep uty sheriffs was at once sent to the plants to preserve order.
 The packers assert that they will be able to run the plants even if the en- gineers and flremen are called out, as is threatened tonight.

 That the Great Salt Lake Is certain fin the near future to disappear from the map has long been the belief of scientists. That it's disappearance will come much sooner than has been ex- pected, and possibly within quarter of a century, is the conclusion that has been reached bv certain investi- gators who have recently made careful studies of its fluctuations
 In an article in a recent number of The Scientific American an account Is given of some of these investigations One calculation is made from an ex- animation of the surface level of the lake, which for thirty years has bean

turned off the flame. and fell to smok- ing a quiet continuity of cigarettes that betokened abstraction. certainly but in no wise hinted at impatience. disappointment or disdafn. Her boise provoked Madison. There was enough Adam in him to resent apparent com fort in others when he was himself un- comfortable. He pushed the literary litter about with impatient fingers and cut into the peace of her sixth cisa- rette with wantonly displayed dis gust.
 Do you believe that smoking is good for a woman7"
 Daisy shook her bent head. T have no cigarette creed.' She drew the sev- enth deeply and asked courteously: Why are any of your friends thinking of adopting the practice?"
 They would not be my friends very long If they did.''
 And still her great patience rested 'unshaken in its depth and against its quietude Madison saw grow. with slow shame. the size of his uncaIled-for cut. He got up thrust his hands into his trousers pockets and went whistline around her typewriter with its loaded copy holder, the work his entrance had interrupted. What have you got on to-dayT" he asked. genially.
 She replied promptly and pleasantly: Nothing of any consequence"
 At this reply he turned toward her surprised. Heretofore she had ever been eager. to talk to him about her work or his. And he had enjoyed these talks not little, rather proud of the comprehension that enabled him to cover her skips and understand where vrrn hox, fault. Had enjoyed this next to the ready sympathy that comforted all his bothers. So he looked at her careful ly as she lay back in her swivel chair. her hands inert upon the arms of 1t, a cigarette dropping from one corner of her well-made mouth, the serenity of her brow, the fire of her soul-lit eyes. the grim courage of her chin, and ask ed kindly: 'Tired?"
 Daisy reused instantly. Why. did you want anything?"
 Madison was too inured to the doc Urine that woman should always be ready to serve mans purpose to mo- tice the unconscious sarcasm of her re- sponse. Besides, he did want some- thing. It had occurred to him many times that 1t would be we'll for his work and well for him If Daisy Dun- bar should come to be a counterpart or ms liIe, hand-maiden to keep trim med and tended the lamps of his ge- ntus. But while he craved her compre- hension he shrank from the thought of marrying woman who made such scant sacrifices to the gods of his tenn ples. He shuddered at the thought of introducing as his wife woman he could not control. A woman who would say what she saw fit to say, and do what she saw fit to do, whether the powers that be approved or disapprov- ed. Hitherto he had counted Daisy Dunbar hard-headed woman. But her present patience under the first re- proof he had ever administered quick ened Madison to sweeter dreams. If she loved him she would be eager to bow her high head beneath his caress- ing hand; to forego her cigarettes for the deep kisses of a mans great love: to yield her splendid spirit to his mold ing. He would be ever so patient and

wEsTBERRY RELEASED.
Georgin Man Says He Will Sue His
 Prosecutors.

J. w Westberry. the white man ar rested several days ago on telegram from Hagan, Ga, alleging intent to defraud a bank was released from the city prison yesterday morning after he had refused to go back to Georgia with W. G. warnell and Dr. c. Smith, bank officials who came to Montgom7 cry for him with a warrant and with out reauisition papers.
 The bank officials left for their home yesterday morning without making any further attemept to take West berry back to Georgia.
 The arrest was due to a matter con cerning q noe for $40 that Westber- ry had in the bank and no evidence of any criminal action was brought against the imprisoned men.
 After his release from prison. West berry left for Savannah and said he would go to Hagan and sue his prose- cutors for causing his Imprisonment. The money $2.04324 which was found in his possession when he was ares ted was turned over to him and he went on his way.
 Westberry was arrested by Police Chief Gerald on a telegram from the sheriff of Tatnall County. Georgia. but the sheriff did not make any effort to have the prisoner returned to Geor- gia.

His lips trembled He LOOK his hands nervously from his trousers pockets and turned to her. She was still absorbed in that study of green ana blue, and the tenth hung half-for- gotten from her fingers.

 Daisy bethought herself of the ciga- rette and coaxed 1t gently. Aye" she said through the smoke. T move out tomorrow"
 But Daisy. you mustn't do that"
 Excuse me, Mir. Madison. but when did I give you the right to my hrst nameT
 Won't you give me the right to your nrst name if give you the right to my last one? Won't that be a fair trade? Dear. did 1t never occur to you that you and were made for each other?'
 Why. yes. In a way, we are"
 Don't you think we would be very happy if we belonged to one another?'
 Do you think it would be pleasant to belong to somebody else?"
 I think it would be very pleasant to belong to you, dear"
 Do you? Do you know what belong ing means? To be bridled and bitted. to come at a call and go at a touch. If you belonged to me I should require you to do as I did; to accept my Judg- ments and bow to my decisions Do you think that would be so pleasantT
 But, dear. I used the term in deep CT. more sacred sense"
 Rather. you used it in a more femi- nine sense, fancy. It was I that was to do most of the belonging, wasn't it?' She got up neglisently dusting the asnes from her long tie and smiling at him in good-nntured amusement Too strong for bitterness; too fear less for falsity; her words came quiet to gentleness: Well. dear sir, the chances are that twenty-four-o even one hour ago.

 Madison forgot how he was to teach her in all tenderness and with great gentleness. His voice rang rude with impatience:
 But Daisy" .

 Whereupon Madison whirled upon his heel and went out, slamming the door after the senseless. explosive man. ner of men. If she was so dead set on the things that are she might have them on broken hinges for all he car ed"
 But he never knew that it was indeed thus she had them. That because of his weak indulgence In a silly spleen a strong woman's life swung ill-hung through all the incomings and outgo- ings of her after years.

 Madison, coming in abruptly had ask ed Daisy for a title and when she point ed silently to the last lines of Lewis Highway" he snapped on his glasses drowning slightly as he read: But be our haven near or far we put our trust In things that are"
 'aThe things that are." she repeated, significantly.
 You have been thinking 1t over! To be a deep thing or whimsical?"
 Rather deep-earnest at any rate"
 ITO pivot on a man or a woman?'
 Woman. But you had better pivot It on a man, for you don't know thing n the world about women"
 Nothing; except that there Is no telling from what point of view a w0 man will Approach an issue"
 The things that are. are hard on a woman," he muttered, thoughtfully.
 But a man has greater reverence for them"
 Madison studied the poem. by his ex- pression neither accepting nor reject Ing her assertion. He looked tired and he was. But, Indian like. had talk en sup this additional task to convince his Tagging energies that they were not so nearly spent as they seemed to be-. Had taken 1t up and carried it across the hall to Daisy Dunbar's den. Being wont to come to her because she had enough common sense to take a man in his mood. Not many women had that much, he fancied. Also he had on several occasions found this practical young person very present help in . rush. Presently he sunk his lean jaws into his lean palms and said. still staring at the poem spread out before him: T need not only a title. but a first line and last line and a plot"
 You have your last line in the quo- tation."
 Possibly. We put our trust in things that are.' Yes"
 You have your first line in the quo- tation."
 Madison looked dubious his tired mind not yet reaching the spring of hers.
 Why. of course you have. A first line should catch the attention What more strikingly beautiful. or beauti- fully striking than this?" and slowly she read the lines upside down: ''Go pipe your song and dream your

Collector of Customs. Philadelphia, Pa- Whether we shall ever have given us the true inside history of this treas ury incident may be doubted. Certain ly the intelligence Is not likely to come from Republican sources, because eith- CT way that 1t Is looked at. 1t reflects severely upon the administrative meth ods of those whom the Republican par I ty has placed in power. We do not pre- tend to know whether the administra- tive order Imposing this tax was. as is the meat packers in the west were to be compensated for liberal donations to the Republican campaign chest. Such debauching of the public service posed to admit that this was the case unless much stronger evidence Is given than has thus far been presented. It Is evident from the eorrespondence that ago Senator Lodge addressed a letter to President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay to somewhat the following effect:
 Dear T. R.; What Is Shaw or the treasury department thinking about in bringing up at this particular time the matter. of putting a duty on pickled sheepskins. which are used in practi- cally all of the shoe shops of this State? The duty on hides has been a severe burden to carry and If 1t had been imposed by law shortly prior to chusetts a Democratic State. But this present piece of foolishness comes just in the middle of a campaign. and has not even the jurisdiction of congress sional authority. What with recipro- city and tariff reform. I have, in view of an approaching election, about all |of the political burdens I care to as- sume without having this load of idiocy dumped upon me. Some one should call a halt or read the riot act. Yours.
 H. c. L.
 It was communication something like this that called forth the letter from the presidents secretary notify ing our junior senator that the tax had been rescinded. But what we wish to call attention to is the entire personal character of this episode. Our govern ment has apparently ceased to be a government of laws and has been con- verted into a government of men. Ger tain individuals wish, for interests of an apparently personal character to have the government impose for their benefit a tax upon large number of their fellow citizens, and without the least delay or any regard as to the in dustrial effect the tax may produce. It's imposition Is forthwith ordered in an official document. Then one of the in- nuential United States senators writes a personal letter to the president, and without inquiry as to the justice oe the tax or the justice of its removal, the president immediately orders its re- neal In what way. one is constrained 10 ask, does this differ from the meth ods of making and administering laws at St Petersburg?

Chase After Escnped Negro Caused
 Exaggerated Reports.
 The chase through Boguehomme af- ter a negro. wanted at Sprague Juno- tion for shooting at a negro woman caused considerable excitement in that section of the city about four o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 The negro. Taylor Caffey. was loca- ted in Boguehomme and was captured by Dave Arlington, a negro constable from the court of Justice Boyd or Sprague Junction. Arlington had warrants for Caffey charging him with assault to murder and carving concealed weapons. After his capture, Caffey broke from Arlington and ran. Arlington pursued his prisoner and a crowd of negroes joined In the chase.
 At the extreme southern end Of Jackson street near the State Normal School Caffey ran into a house occu- pied by some of his relatives and defied his pursuers.
 Exaggerated messages were tele- phoned to police headquarters and the county jail and officers hurried to the scene under the impression that a riot was impending.
 county Jailer McLemore and Deputy Sherin Young were first to reach the house which was surrounded by ne- groes several of whom had guns Messrs McLemore and Young enter ca the house and Caftey surrendered without resistance. He did not have a weapon. The negro was lodged in the county jail.
