MISSOURI STATE NEWS


Mrs. ]. B. Hawkins, of Mexico, wife
Of a well-known physician, probably
will come into possession OF an inn
mense inheritance, amounting to 81
600, 900, through the death of Solomon
Fisher, of Kentucky.
Through her lawyers she has recent
ly received the news that all necessary
proofs have been secured TO prove her
a rightfur heir, and they are now pre-
pared to go to Germany and claim her
portion of the estate.
These lawyers have been at work on
the case quite a long time, and after
two trips across the seas have at last
reached a point of absolute certainty.
Solomon Fisher, Mrs. Hawkins
grandfather, was a German nobleman.
who violated the peaching law and was
forced to flee the fatherland. He came
to America and settled in Kentucky,
where he remained throughout his life.
His brothers and sisters all dying In
Germany, he was left the sole heir to
an estate valued at $11, O00, 900. He did
not dare to return to his native coun-
try for fear Of punishment for his
former offense and spent his days in
America. Since his death, some time
ago, his heirs and lawyers have been
steadily working on the case, and now
believe no further difficulty will be en-
countered in establishing their clients
rights to the estate.
NOrthway's Sentence Committed.
The sentence of Fred Northway hai
been committed by Gov. Folk to expir.
on June 10. Northway was implicated
with three others, in the dynamiting o
a street car during the great stree
railway strike in st. Louis in 1900
There has always been some question
as to the degree Of guilt attaching il
this crime, and all the labor unions o
the state have repeatedly petitionet
the governor for his release. He is
native of Galloway county, where hi
family reside, and several hundred o
the leading citizens of that count,
Joined in the petition. Northwa
served a year and a half before trial
and the Communication merely gives hin
credit for the time he served in jai
before being taken to the state prison
while it also operates as a premium o.
good behavior in the penitentiary
where his conduct was exemplary il
all respects.

PROGRAM FULL
OF N INTEREST.
First Fruits Meeting in Presby-
terrain Church a Big Sue
cess Last Night.

Although last night was most un-
favorable for holding a meeting of any
kind, the First Fruits meeting, held
by the Foreign Missionary Society, in
the Presbyterian church, was a great
success.
At n time it was proposed to post
pone the meeting, but the members OF
the society attended in such a large
number that it was decided to hold it
in spite ofs.the weather.
The fruits, vegetables and flowers,
which had been contributed. were
piled in a pyramid in the center OF
the room, which was profusely deco
rated with golden rod.
The program was especially inter
esting and we'll carried out.
The devotional exercise was con
Quoted by Mr.. Henry, vice-president
of the society.

countries owe their civilization to

and interesting features. No decision
was arrived at as to which side won
the discussion. Jesse Slaight sang a
solo in his usually pleasing style and
Kenneth Martin rendered "a violin
solo, which was greatly appreciated.
Ernest Hilsdorf also sang a solo which
was heartily received.
The silver contribution amounted to
SlS and the proceeds of the sale of the
fruits and vegetables netted a consid-
cradle amount more.
The meetings of the missionary
societies are taking on quite a social
air and are decidedly enjoyable
affairs.
The next meeting will be held in
October and it is planned to make the
coming one as interesting as was the
meeting of last night.

TRIAL OF ELECTION
CASES GOES OVER.
Justice Fort Not in New Brunswick
T0day-Take Them Up
Next Week.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 12:-
Justice Fort has sen word here that
he will not come here today to try the
Sixth Ward election cases. This
means another weeks delay in the
trial of these important indictments.
The postponement is due to the mo-
tion Of counsel for some of the men
to put the case off for a week.
The plan now is to take the cases
up at the opening of the September
term, Tuesday of next. week. The in
dictments have now been in the
courts since last November, they hav-
ing been found shortly after the ell
ection. There was such haste in find
ing the indictments that the grand
jury was recalled to consider the
cases.
The indictments to be tried are
only one set against the four cleo
ton officers, James r. Dunlap, Thorn
as C~orrigan, William Rastall and
Philip Reilly. Nothing has been done
with the other indictments against
the members Of the--ouny Board of
Electio1s6aetpftis case was acted upon

wv 6ictments in all.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.--Oscar j.
Ricketts,, who has been designated by
the president as acting public printer,
visited the treasury department with
his bondsmen. He arranged for filing
the bond which he is required to fur
nish while he is acting rs head of the
government printing office. Although
there is no definite information on the
subject, the general opinion is that
the presidents designation of Mr.. Rick
etts to act in the place of Public
Printer Palmer does not necessarily
imply that he will be appointed per-
manently.

TO
ESCApEFROM
STATE PRISON
Three COnWCts Get Into the
Yard of the Prison Before
They Are Discovered.
one FROM MIDOLESEX.

TRENTON, Sept. 12:-Three con
victs made a daring attempt to escape
from the state prison about l o'clock
this morning. The men were confin-
ed in cell No. so, wing 4, south wall.
BY filing the bars of the top window
of the cell they got as far as the
yard, where they were discovered by
Keeper James Haney, who notified
the centre. Keeper Harrison and
Pearson responded to the call and
caught the men before they had time
to scale the wall.
The men who made the attempt
were Frank Avery, received at the
prison May 16, 1908, from Hudson
county, for a term OF ten years for
breaking and entering; Charles
Smith, alias Osmond, received March
27, 1903, from Hudson county, for
carrying burglar tools and resisting
an officer, sentenced to seven years
and $1,000 fine; John Logan, receiv-
ed June II, 1901, from Middlesex
county, for six years and six months,
convicted of larceny.
Avery and Logan worked in the
pants shop, known rs shop No. 81;
while Smith is a machinist. Smith
secured the tools to do the filing,
and is supposed to have been work
ing on the job for some time.
Previous to this attempt all of the
men have been of good behavior
and in a short time Logan's term
would have expired.
When they were set upon by the
keepers they offered no resistance.
The men were handcuffed and placed
in the dungeon.

COAL MINERS
ARE UNITING
FOR STRUGGLE
MitCheITs Call for War Is Be-
ing Answered Unto.
Filling Up.
WAGES NOT AN ISSUE.

SHAMOKIN, Pa., Sept. Pin a whirl-
wind campaign through the anthracite
region, John MICHEL, president of the
United Mine Workers of America, is
getting his followers into Tine in AN
~ticipation of the convention to he held
in Shamokin neXt December. The re-
suit of the convention will be of the
utmost Importance, as the delegates
must decide what demands shall be
made to the coal operators in the
spring.
There is little doubt that they will
again ask for the recognition of their
union, so that they may obtain formal
contracts regulating their dealings
with the mine owners. 1t is also likely
that they will demand Il reduction in
the hours of work and an increase in
wages in every department of work.
Mitchell spoke at Mount Carmel last
Friday and at New Philadelphia. He
reached here later, hoarse and tired,
but plumper and stronger in appear
ance than ever before and his brown
eyes swapping with energy and conf
dence. He will make this his head
quarters for several days, going to
neighboring towns to speak and re-
turning at night.
''W1lat is the present condition of the
United Mine Workers organization in
the anthracite region?" Mr.. Mitchell
was asked.
at is very strong" was the emphatic
reply. "Our organization has main
tanned all the time from $4,000 to co.
900 paid up members in good standing
with the national body. Besides that,
there are a large number of men who
keep up with their locals, but who are
not heard from at headquarters. BY
the time my tour closes | hope to have
fully 100000 men in the district and
national unions and perhaps 100000 in
the locals. The utmost we could get
would be $4,000 or 2 1900, as two
boys are only counted as II member
I'm the strike of 1900 we demanded
the abolition Of the sliding scale be-
cause there was no minimum set. The
men were constantly told that the price
was going down, and they had no right
TO examine the books. Now, under the
new agreement, through the commits
sion, there is a minimum, and the books
may be inspected by members of the
commission at Washington"
what are the special grievances of
the men in the anthracite region?"
THE main thing here that demands
adjustment is the time of labor. This
is a fundamental question of trades I'M
ions all over the world, as the demand
for IN eight hour day is universal. The
bituminous miners work eight hours Il
day; the anthracite miners work nine
hours. They might continue to do so If
other workers did not have, eight hour
days. SO long as this difference exists
there can be no contentment."
