JOHN SHARPE WILLIAMS.
Minority Leader May Accept Chair o.
Economics and Political History.

Representative John Sharpe williams Of
Mississippi. the floor leader of the House
democrats and an aspirant for the senate
rial toga from his state is seriously con-
sidering a proposition to retire from public
life at the end of the present session of
Congress to accept the chair of economies
and political history at the University of
Virginia.
Mr.. Williams friends In the House were
astounded today to learn that not only was
the distinguished Mississipian giving seri-
Gus thought to the matter, but that re-
Gently he had stated In a more or less for
NAL way that he would be perfectly satis-
fed to retire from the political arena and
spend the rest of his life member Of
the faculty of that famous institution of
learning founded by Thomas Jefferson
The board of visitors of the University of
Virginia, which Is the supreme governing
body of that institution. has been casting
around for some time to find an eminent
American to fill the newly created chair of
economies and political history Former
Senator Charles w. Towne, now a Tam
many representative in the House, was
thought of. but the position was not ten
dered to him, as IT was learned that Mr..
Towne desired more active work In poll
tics. Then 1t Is understood that the board
of visitors agreed that John Sharpe Will
Jams was an ideal man for the place, al
though 1t was not seriously believed then
that the minority leader, owing to his prom
inent place In the democratic ranks and his
welI-known ambition to represent his state
in the Senate, would accept the position
even If It was offered to him. 1t was de-
cided, however, that 1t would do no harm
to sound Mr.. Williams and learn his views
on the subject.
This was done and the minority leader
almost Immediately declared himself to
look with favor the proposition, and
later said, In discussing the matter with
friends that he would like nothing better
than to drop from his shoulders the many
cares OF q political career and take up
what was bound to be very congeniai labor
at the University of Virginia.
The board of visitors OF the institution
will meet at the university on the 14th of
the present month. and 1t Is pretty well
understood on the democratic side of the
House that a formal tender of the position
will be made to the minority leader at that
time. Although some of Mr.. williams
friends are skeptical as to his announced
attitude. those who have heard him ex-
press himself on the proposition say they
have no doubt that Mr.. Williams win ac-
cent.

wounded miners were removed to Adrian
Hospital. AS the result of the shooting a
mass meeting arranged for this afternoon
was cancelled and Sheriff Wettling has or
dered the arrest of the leaders of the
parade All Is now quiet.
All is now quiet and no more trouble at
this time is apprehended.
The mines at Ernest are owned by the
Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg Coal and
Iron Company.
On April j a strike was inaugurated and
the men have been out ever since.
Three weeks ago the plant was started
non-unfon. and detail OF the state constab-

peared under promise of immunity on
the part Of the government. He said he

effect, but admitted that his attorney had
received letter from the then United
States attorney. Morgan II. Beach. Septem-
Der 8. 1913, stating that the government
would take no action against Truesdell in
the event that he appeared before the grand
jury to testify in the post Office cases. The
letter from the former district attorney was
read to the jury.
Replying to question by Mr.. Stanchfield
the witness said he had no education ex-
cept that received in the school OF adver-
sty." Mr.. Stanchfield then drew from the
witness the statement that while living In
Washington he kept carriage and coach
man. Counsel asked II that had eanything
to do with the school referred 10. Mr..
TruesdeH explained that when he, used the
expression he had In mind some hs I'd
periences In his business career. Be said
he had been under many business q nd per-
sonal obligations to Green while a1sQciated
with him in business.

Later Impression.

His later impression was that the COM
pany did not keep any ledger, journal or
cash book This was in conformity with
the statement on that point made by the
witness Fish.
The witness said he himself obtained the
first order from the Post Office Department
for the Doremus machines. He negotiated,
he said, with Beavers personally, and had
entire charge of the arrangement which,
he stated. had been entered into. The un-
Outstanding then, he added, was indefinite,
but was clear as to the fact that Beavers
was to receive a payment. The witness
stated that Doremus then knew nothing of
the agreement. He was informed later. Mr..
Truesdell stated, and. according to the wit
ness, raised fuss about 1t. but acquiesced.
Conduct Of Business Affairs.
Explaining his conduct of the business
affairs of the Doremus company, the wit
ness said he had drawn several checks in
his own name on the company, had cashed
them and had later paid the money to
Beavers The entire sum thus paid. the
witness said, was 81 500. He thought this
represented three payments.
The witness said he received 500 per
month for his services to the company. He
thought that 200 machines had been fur
nished to the government before he left
the employ of the company. After he sev-
cred his connection with the concern he
knew nothing further about its business.
Mr.. Stanchfeid OF counsel for Green then
took up the cross-examination. The wit
ness admitted that he was then bitterly
hostile to Green. but said that his feel
ings toward Mr.. Green from 1891 to 1901
had been extremely cordial He also said
that he was friendly to the defendant
Doremus. He had known Green about
twenty-five years, and had been associated
With him in business for ten years up to
1901.
Az to his testimony given yesterday to
the effect that he had paid Beavers $500
before the latter was appointed to the po-
witness said he could not recall just whore

THE SEASON FOR COLDS.

This is the time when the men viii
a certain cure for a cold-exeept
when he has one himself-is in his
glory. So many people have colds
and 50 few know what TO do for
them. 1t is far better, and a lol
easier. 10 avoid colds. and the man
who can give lnfalllble advice on
that point ought to be welcomed and
acclaimed real benefactor of man
kind. The New York Herald in a
recent dissertation on the subject,
said;
by reasonable methods we can
gradually inure ourselves against cold
in almost any degree, and by proper
ventilation and thus stimulate our
resisting qualities. The more W.
discretely and gradually exercise this
restriction the surer in the long
run. will we get the better of the in
firmities and weakness which are the
special penalties of the neglect Of ma
lures cardinal law"
Bad ventilation Is undoubtedly a
prolific breeder of colds. People walk
from hot suny Offices into the open
air without sufficient protection again
is the change of temperature and
then they wonder how in the world
they caught cold. Damp feet are an
other cause And of course every
body knows that old Chinese draft
proverb: "If cold wind strikes you
through hole go make your prayers
and save your soul
Practically the only people who are
subject to colds are those who live
in the cities Those who live in the
open air most of the time or all the
time. even though they undergo the
greatest hardships suffer from colds
so rarely that they must almost be
said never TO suffer During the civil
war the veterans slept on the snow,
were out in all sorts of weather and
endured terrible hardships, but while
they suffered from many other malad-
les. very few of them had colds after
the first few months of service.
The climate of Alaska is the most
bitter in winter that can be found in
any possession of the United States
Yet the dwellers there do not take
cold. However, all of us cannot go
to Alaska. Few of us would go If We
could. and fewer still would care
to make a practice of sleeping on the
snow. We should remember one
.hirg. though, for all the doctors are
agreed on it. That is keep your hom-
es and your Offices well ventilated, be
cause pure air at zero Is better than
impure air at any temperature
