TRIAL OF CLARK BEGINS.
Man Accused Of Murder In Gambling
House Row.

c. c. Clark. colored. was placed on trial
in the district court yesterday on first
degree murder charge for killing Louis
Jones in the Assembly club rooms on
lower Twenty-fifth street, last Septem-
ber A jury was secured during the morn
ing. and the taking Of testimony was COM
menced at the opening or the afternoon
session. The case will probably be con-
cluded today.
Jones conducted the games at the club,
and was in charge at the time ne was
killed. From the testimony brought our
yesterday, it would appear that Clark and
a man named Sam Cowdin were engaged
in a game of craps for . cents throw.
Some controversy arose between them as
to the manner in which Clark was throw
ing the dice. Rather than to have any
disturbance over the game Jones threw
each man his quarter and called the game
off. AS Cowdin reached over the taDie
for his money. Clark pulled gun ana
struck him a blow over the head At the
same time the pistol was discharged, the
bullet striking Jones and killing him IN
stantiy.
In the proceedings yesterday, District
Attorney George HalVerS0n, who conduct
ed the case for the state confined him
self to proving the homicide by the eye
witnesses to the tragedy. Attorney John
c. Davis. counsel for Clark, put all or his
efforts toward proving that the killing OF
Jones was accidental. there being no quar-
rel between him and the prisoner. In
fact. each of the witnesses who testified
for the state admitted that they were of
such an opinion.
Judge Howell. after a consultation with
counsel. exercised the rights given him by
the statutes and decided not to lock the
jury up during the time the case was on
trial. This action was probably brought
about by the lack of facilities at the coun-
ty building for caring for a jury prop
erly. During the day Judge Howell ap-
peared before the county commissioners
and requested that provisions be made for
jurors in capital cases in the future.
Shortly before court adjourned yesterday
afternoon, the state, after introducing
about a half a dozen witnesses rested.
and the introduction of testimony for the
defense was begun. The case should 90 TO
| the jury this afternoon

made il impossible for the men in charge
of the cars to see each other until with
in a few feet. The coaches narrowly es-
capped topping over into the deep water
Several Of the victims may die. among
them Motorman II. T. Huffine, the man

QUESTION AS TO
SCRIP AS MONEY
United States District Attorney
Declares Federal Statutes
Are Being Violated.

Dallas, Tex. Nov. 11.-H. w. Atwell,
United States attorney for the north
ern district of Texas, today issued to
the press of Texas a statement, in
which he says:
Section 513S of the United States
statutes provides as follows:
National banking associations
shall not issue any other notes to cir
culate as money than such as are au-
thorlzed by the provisions of this
title
the provisions of the law mention
ed allow the issuing OF certain national
bank currency, with which We are all
familiar, and no other. In line with
the law, therefore, if there be money
stringency in the northern district of
Texas, due to a failure of money Ger
tiers 10 pay what they owe, our local
banks and clearing houses in this dis
trict viii not issue any promises to
pay o. any scrip which violates any
of the provisions of the above quoted
laws"
Mr.. Atwell says that articles appear
ing in yesterdays papers, which tell
of the proposal to issue certain scrip
currency in other states than Texas,
make 1t appear imperative to him as
public servant to call attention to
the provisions of the constitution and
the federal statutes on the subject.
Washington. Nov. u.-Attorney Gen
eTai BOnaparte tonight said that the
question of the validity OF clearing
house certificates has never been sub
mitted to the department of justice and
that the action of the United States
district attorney in Dallas in challeng-
ing their legality was p0tireIy q new
point. Until the matter comes before
him formally, he must decline TO ex-
press an opinion. He added that Dis
trict Attorney Atwell was acting upon
his own initiative. not having been au-
thorized from Washington to express
any views or take any steps in the
matter of clearing house certificates.

wherein the plaintiff says she was in

spects. While she was asleep a tran
som, she says, fell down upon her, the
injuries resulting therefrom being of a
permanent character. The plaintiff
asks $1,000 damages, $3.50 wages lost

and unhurt, but in darkness that will
never be lifted Michael McCabe, a
miner, is awaiting certain death by
starvation 500 feet below the surface of

out of that wing of the colliery before
the roof caved in. The mine branch
extends to the surface, where it yawns
sixty feet wide, right in front of Nc
Cabe's home, where his wife and six
children vainly hope for his rescue.
The officials say it will be year
