Take the Heat Calmly.

The chief danger of the hot
weather lies in the direction Of over
exertion, That point is made espe-
cially convincing by the death of a
commuter wEo, in the fiery torridity
of Monday morning, ran for his
train, caught it-and lived only a
few moments after it had pulled out
of the station, The heat, added to
the strain on not over-strong

conditions. and there rs a great deal

Protection in Disguise ?

our AUSTRALIAN correspondent IoEWdE1s
a copy OF the new regulations under the
commerce act OF 1900. which came into
force on June s.
Some idea of the nature Of these regu-
latiOns may be gathered from the facI
that they stipulate that seeds imported
into Australia shall be accompanied by
indications OF the place OF production
and the year in which they were grown
. 1eWelry must be accompanied by state
ment showing the purity or the gold
used IN its composition; no goods shall
| be imported described as wool contain
ing less than 80 per cent OF pure WOOL
whisky when described as whisky must
show the date OF manufacture IN the
label or brand, the method or manuT2e-
ture. and the material from which II IS
made. IN the case of blended spirits
the date Of blending must be given.
II need hardly be pointed out that such
regulations are largely unWOrkable5 and
II Insisted upon must tend 10 dlsorsanize
/ trade. They appear 10 be simply a dis
guiged attempt 10 prohibit a large num-
ber or imports. and to give importers
much unnecessary trouble.
So says the British Trade Journal,
and no doubt a considerable number
of American producers Will agree.
But the layman win hardly join in
the protest. To him the new Aus
tralian regulations viii rather have
the look of what might be termed,
after recent American legislation as
TO food, a ''pure commerce act"
Why should the shipper of seeds
not specify where they were grown
and when? Are Xantee currants to
be produced in Montreal? 4 manu-
featuring ieweler who stamps his
wares "18K" or lax" ought to be
willing to certify that they contain
that proportion of real gold. If he
IS not, he stamps himself a fraud
Cloth which is "au wool" ought
surely TO contain 90 per cent Of pure
wool. We have gone over the whisky
situation here in America right
thoroughly. and it is much TO be
doubted if the people Of the United
States would not also like to know
"the date Of manufacture, the
method of manufacture, and the ma
terial from which it is made" What
is there which is largely unworz
able in ali this?
The British Trade Journal would
probably answer that such restric
tions should apply also TO wares Oh
domestic production. Even so, tn,
importer ought not to complain
Every day the bars are let down fol
the Australian producer adds TO tn,
prestige of the foreign-made article
The people of Australia. like thos,
OF America, viii want to know wha
they buy and TO buy what the,
want. As long as domestic ware.
are open to suspicion those who car
afford it viii buy the imported
wares which the government re
quires 10 be above suspicion.
In plain English, the protest o.
the British Trade Journal is a pro
test against the general rise fl
trade standards. The day Of IN,

Haly and Lassing Repudi-

to Them.

An official statement was made
public Wednesday on behalf of
Percy Haly categorically repudiat-
ing the letter purporting to have
been signed by him which appeared
recently in Noel Gaines Crusader,
and denying it's authorship in so
many words. Gen. Haly declares it
to be a fabrication and a forgery.
An affidavit from Judge Lassing
is appended, in which he says that
he never received the letter in ques-
ton. With these is published a
statement from Denhardt Bros, of
Bowling Green, denying that Gen.
Haly used threats to prevent them
from continuing to print the Crusa-
der for Noel Gaines. The statements
are of the most convincing charac-
ter.

DR.. FUQUA DEAD.
Was Once a Prominent Ply
Sician of This City.

Mr.. j, R. Embry received a tele-
gram yesterday from Jonesboro,
Tenn, informing him of the death
of his uncle, DR.. VIM. M. Fuqua,
which occurred Thursday evening.
Further particulars were not given
in the message. He had been sub
ject to heart trouble for some time.
and the presumption is that this car
ried him off.
DR.. Fuqua was about seventy
years old. He was a resident of
this city for a number of years. He
was native of Virginia and came
to Kentucky soon after the war, lo-
eating for the practice of medicine
near Gracey. He went to Jones'
boro about four years ago to live
with his daughter. as his health
had been poor for some time. DR..
Fuqua was a gallant Confederate
soldier. He leaves a widow, four
sons and three daughters.

ONE CASE REVERSED.
Four White Men Were Con-
victed of Assault on
Movers Daughter,

The Court Of Appeals this week
passed upon the appeals from the
Logan Circuit Court in cases of J.H.
Sacra, w. R. Fletcher, Guy Lyon VS..
the Commonwealth, reversing the
judgment in the first named case
and affirming sentences Of death in
the latter two. Chief Justice Hob
son delivered one opinion, and Judge
Num- one in the Lyon case. The
whole court considered the appeal,
and Judge Settle dissented from the
opinion Of reversal in the Sacra
case.
Fletcher and Sacra were indicted
jointly with Guy Lyon and Jim Ly-
on for the crime of rape upon the
person of Mary Gladder in May,
1905. They were convicted, and the
punishment of Fletcher, Lyon and
Sacra fixed at death. All questions
raised on the Fletcher case were
raised on the Sacra case except one.
They were indicted the day after the
crime was committed, and a mob
sought to lynch them. Sacra was
forced into trial while lying on a cot
as the result of gun-shot wounds.
The court says a man should not be
compelled to enter upon trial for
his life when there is doubt about
his ability to properly conduct his
defense, especially where his disa-
bility is produced by armed violence.
pending the trial.
Sacra has a good chance to escape
with his life, as the Gladder girl and
her father, German movers" have
disappeared.
Fletcher is an old man, sixty years
old. Guy Lyons real name is said to
be Guy Reynolds, who figured con-
spicuously in the trouble at Empire
in connection with the murder Of
r. H. Coffee.
The Governor will fix day for the
execution.
