AN ACTIVE PART
In Fall Campaign in New Hampshire
VIII Be Taken by A. F. L.

Concord, n. H., July 12.-The cxecu-
tive board of the New Hampshire
branch of the American Federation Of
Labor is planning to take an active
part in the campaign for the state cleo
ton next fall. All candidates for pub
lie offices will receive blanks from
the executive board upon which they
will be asked to state their position on
three labor measures which the fed
Grafton desires to have passed by the
next Legislature. These measures are
to compel 5S-hour week for working
women and children throughout the
year, to change the trustee law so
that all of a mans wages cannot be
held back from him for debts and to
abolish various state commissions and
place the affairs of the state more di
rectly in the hands of the people. This
program was outlined at a mass meet
ing of wage carriers in Berlin last
night by President James LegasiZ and
Sec. d. W. Finn of the state branch of
the federation.
Il believe the time is ripe" said Sec.
Finn, for political action on the part

sent Your interests and who will vote
for such measures as you desire to

MORE ECONOMICAL
Administration Is Planned by British
Government Party.

London. July 12.-War Secretary Hal
dane, in the House of Commons today
announced the governments plans for
a more economical administration and
more efficient maintenance of the
army. Among those present in the
House, with was crowded, was Will
liam J. Bryan.
Broadly, the governments proposal
is to maintain an eXpendtionary force
of 10000 men Immediately available
for war; with territorial organization
behind it, capable of supporting and
expanding the forces serving abroad
This eXpeditionary force and it's i'm
mediate supports would be administer
ed directly by the military authorities.
while the territorial party OF the ma
tional army would be controlled by
county associations, the command and
training Of all the forces being In the
hands of general officers commanding
in chief.
Mr.. Haldane's plan cOntemplates the
reduction of the forces by seven bat
talions of infantry abroad and three
battalions at home, including two bat
talions of guards. He proposes to ar
range for one mobilization of 63 batter
les of artillery as q proper complement
of the expeditionary force, out of to-
tai home establishment of 80 batteries,
| leaving 36 batteries for training pur-
poses He said that the proposed eX-
peditionary force will be 5000 men
stronger than any expeditionary army
Great Britain has hitherto attempted
to organize for foreign service. For
home defence, Mr.. Haldanc added, the
country must look chiefly to the yco-
many and volunteers and the general
staff is preparing scheme defining the
| future functions of these forces and
their administration will be handed
| over to the country organization.
The war secretary said that the state
Of the national forces was highly sat
isfactory from the point Of view of
both cost and organization. He be-
lieved that economy and efficiency We're
| not inconsistent, with democratic ma
| tions. However they might differ on
| other subjects. they We're unanimous In
| the desire to tighten the crushing bur-
| dens due to ornaments now resting
| upon them. He believed the proposed
| scheme would increase the fighting ef-
ficiency of the army by 80 per cent.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Former Judge Testifies in Breathitt
County Feud Case.

Eeattyville. KY, July 12.-Former
Judge James Hargis, charged with the
murder of Attorney James 3. Marcum,
was the principal witness today in the
case of the state versus Hargis and
Callahan. Hargis, who was the first
witness for the defence, told the story
Of his life in Breathitt county and how
he had risen from n poor boy to a man
of wealth and position. He described
his whereabouts when Marcum was
shot. He saw Tom" while coming out
of the door of the court house just be-
fore the shots were fired. Witness
said he had no intimation that Mar
cum was to be killed and said he had
never spoken to Curtis Jet or any
man with reference to the killing OF
Marcum or and other person. He said
Moses Feltner never received money
from him not to testify against him.
He said Feltner wanted him to prepare
affidavits for Sam Fields and Russell
Sutton, but that he declined to do so.
Eargis said the statement of Asbury
Spicer was absolutely false. In fact.
witness said no conversation ever oc-
Cured between him and others with
reference to Marcum.
Witness referred to commonwealth
witnesses as "noaters" and men who
ludked around town and it was neceS-
sary for the court to admonish HargiS
on several occasions and instruct the
Jury not to consider such testimony.
Hargis reflected several times on the
character of Attorney Adams and
Judge Dorsey sent the jury from the
room while Adams took the defendant
sharply to task. Attorney Young, for
the defence, objected to this, but the
court ruled that Hargis had made a
serious reflected against the common
wealth's attorney and the court beiieV-
ed Adams should be permitted to de-
fend himself.
Hargis was questioned by Attorney
Ryrd on croSs-eXamnation. He said
he had no ill-feeling against Marcum
as a result of the contested election
Asses but he said they never spoke al
| ter the Indictment for criminal llbcl
was returned against Marcum. lie
| did not secure an indictment against
Feltner because he did not feel that
| Fcltncr could SANDER any one.
