Gentlemen;-I am glad to see in
your last weeks issue the sugges.
ton of Prof. ]. H. Hinemon, that a
reunion be had of Union City boys.
l have thought for some years that
an occasion of this kind could be
made very enjoyable, and l suggest
that it be held at the time of the
annual Fair in September. In or
der that all could be advised. the
boys could, from time to time, send
in any names that occur to them
to a local committee of the Home
Guards, who could prepare an in
formal program.
AS one of them / make this sug-
gestion for what it is worth, and
with personal regards, / remain,
Yours truly.

Many Drownings.

| The following comes as yer,
pertinent and timely Article upor
the subject of a natatorium, which
is engaging the attention of some
of our citizens:
The press dispatches almost
every Monday morning give news
of large number of drownings
throughout the country. Many OF
these are due to carelessness and
recklessness. foolhardv persons who
rock boats or try to sail or manage
them when they have had no expert
ence. There is no provision made
for the protection of these people,
but there are numerous occasions
where drownlngs occu because
persons are not possessed of ordi-
nary information out how to
swim, or when to GO into the water.
I'VE read of young man at
tempting to swim mile or more
and going down, exhausted to the
point where he cannot move fin-
ger, just before reaching his desti-
nation. We read of others staying
in the water several hours n d
cramping, of others going in just
after hearty meal, and of others
going into shallow water who cam
not swim and then 60 out into deep
water.
Every boy and girl should be
taught to swim and how to take
care of themselves in the water.
As a rule good swimmers are less
reckless than others, as they know
the dangers Of the water. A boy
who knows how hard it is to get to
the shore with his clothes on is not
the one to rock the boat. SWIM
ming ought to be part OF the train
ing of every youth, and they should
also be taught how to resuscitate
people who have taken much water
into their lungs. It he $ e things
should be part Of the course in
the public school system, and the
swimming pools at Centennial Park
should be patronized m ore than
they are. Nashville American.

President stickney Objects to Penalty

Washington, May. II Senator Mel

ing telegram from President Stickney
Of the Chicago Great Western rail-
way: q s&
AS you know I am in full sympathy
with the main features of the amend
ment proposed to the interstate COM
merce act, but / desire to protest
against the Injustice of the proposed
amendment imposing fine and impris-
onment on officers and agents of rail-
way companies for allowing rebates.
Such penalties would never be inf1ict-
ed on presidents and high officials Of
160, 900 miles of railways of this coun-
try who live in New York and do not
deal directly with rates, while their
demand for more revenue will induce
some freight agent ON a salary of ST.
900 or $4,000 a year to grant rebate.
Make the penalty 7as high as YOU
please against the railway company.
This is the only way to reach the rail-
way officials and grand dukes. The
penalty operation was in existence for
many years and only one man, poor
freight agent trying to support his
family on meager salary, was i'm
prisoned." q

GIRL ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
Case of Unusual Interest Taken UP in
New York City.

New York, May 15.-The trial of
Mrs. Joseph Terranova, an Italian girl
seventeen years old, for the murder OF
her uncle, Gaetano Reggie, and his
wife in their home in this city last
February, began before Justice Scott
during the day. The case is one Of
the most extraordinary to come before
a New York jury in long time. Mrs.
Terranoya has confessed that she
{. tabled her uncle and aunt to death,
but declares that she was impelled to
do it because of great wrong done to
her by her uncle, in which she declared
he was aided by her aunt.
Mrs. Terranova had been taken into
the home of her uncle, well-to-do
baker, as aSsort of a ward and repaid
him by doing housework. After her
marriage, she asserts, Reggie limited
to her husband that her character was
not spotless. Terranova demanded an
explanation and she told him the story
Of her uncle's conduct and Terranova,
with reproaches, abandoned her at
once. Several days later Mrs. Terra
nova went to the home of her hYicle
and aunt and while pretending friend
Illness to her uncle stabbed him. Her
aunt defended him and was killed also.

UPHELD
Supreme Court Holds States
Have Right to Revoke
Insurance Permits

Washington, May Is. Justice Peck
ham delivered the opinion of the SUI
preme court of the United States in
the case of the Travellers. Life Insur-
ance company VS.. the insurance COM
missioner of the state of Kentucky in
favor Of the state. The case involved
the constitutionaIity Of the state law
authorizing the revocation Of permits
given to foreign insurance companies
to do business in the state when such
companies remove to the federal
courts cases brought against them in
the state courts. The court held that
such a law covers right which a
state may properly exercise. Justice
Peckham said that a state may refuse
to permit an outside company to do
any business whatever within its bor-
ders. He therefore held that the state
law is not in conflict with the federal
Constitution. Justice Day read a dis
senting opinion, in which Justice Har-
Ian concurred. II - 5s.ff
