CRAzED MAN USES
DEADLY WEAPON
SIX PERSONS ARE SLAIN BY WAL
TER C. DAVIS IN SAN

She was a girl of II. Davis pointed

THE ANTI-JUG ORDINANCE WILL
PASS WHEN BROUGHT UP AGAIN

that much better for the state at
large.
Mayor Guest, who reached home
from the west too late to be present
at the meeting of the Board Thursday
night, is heartily in favor Of the Anti
jug law, and expressed his regret at
not being present to vote in favor Of
it, He said Saturday that the law
would be brought UP. at the next meet
ing Of the Board and would surely get
his vote, and he believed that all the
aldermen who voted in favor of it
at the last meeting, would vote the
same sentiments the next time.
Alderman White was seen by a
Herald man in regard to his attitude
toward the ordinance, and was, told
that the report had gained some cir
culation that he did not understand
the question at the last meeting and
would not have voted for the ordi-
nance had he understood it. Capt.
White was most emphatic in his dec
larations. He said whether or not he
understood the question at the last
meeting, was ancient history. That
the matter of importance was whether
he understands the ordinance now,
and whether he will support it. He
said that he and his had suf-
fered too much from the evils of
liquor for him to vote against any
temperance measure. That if the
question comes up again so help me
God, | will vote just as / did the first
time-in its favor"

COMPLICATIONS
ARE DEVELOPING
IN KANSAS TWENTY YEAR FIGHT
AGAINST THE TRAFFIC IN
LIQUOR.

KANSAS CITY, May 5.-what is
believed to be one of the last stages
of Kansas twenty year fight against
liquor traffic, anmely. the seizure of
brewery property by the three re-
ceivers recently appointed by the
State Supreme Court, developing legal
complications.
After a weeks work and visits to
five cities in the State, the receivers
have taken possession Of several hun
bred saloons and some other property
known to be owned by some of the
nine indicted brewers. There has
been much evasion on the part Of
brewery agents, according to the re-
ceivers, the title to some of their
property being hurriedly transferred,
and this the receivers have not mol
ested. Desiring first to gain ruling
on their status from the State legal
department.
Yesterday at Pittsburg the receivers
encountered a new proposition when
they visited Idle Park, a beer garden
operated supposedly by the Helm
Brewery Company. The receivers in
tended to take charge of this property
with the avowed purpose of selling it
and turning the proceeds into the
State Treasury, but the agent in
charge insisted that the Brewing Com
pany owned the fixtures only, and that
the grounds and buildings belonged to
him The receivers decided to make
no move there at present, and went
to Topeka for legal advice.

When the Anti-Jug law comes up
before the next meeting Of the Board
of Mayor and Aldermen, there will be
a different story to tell from the rec
ord made the other night, for the
ordinance will surely become a law.
Aldermen Collier, White. Cameron
and Gartner are too strong in their
advocacy of temperance and all tenn
perance measures to be changed by
any sophistry of the opposition, and
now that Mayor Guest has returned,
he will add his strength to the forces
in favor of the law and its passage is
a foregone conclusion.
There has been considerable talk
among the business men of Columbia
in regard to the law, and they are for
1t by a large majority. They see no
reason why, if Columbia is to get no
revenue from the sale of liquor, that
the people should suffer from its per-
HlclouS lnHuencSS, anu Ih0J AOoiiNO
that the further away the source Of
supply is, and the more difficult
it is to get, that the smaller. will be
the amount shipped in. Aside from
this, they see no reason why the peo-
pie Of Columbia or the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen of Columbia should
protect the Nashville wholesale deal
ers. The people here are not finan-
cially interested in any of the Nash
vile liquor houses, so far as known,
and if all the liquor establishments in
that city had to go out of business
for want of patronage, it would be

COFFEECOUNTY'S
LATEST TREASURE
SANDSTONE IN UNLIMITED GUAM
Titles WILL BE USED FOR
CONCRETE BLOCK.

TULLAH0MA, Tenn, May 2.-This
part of the State abounds in large
deposits of sandstone which, up to
this time, have been Of but little value,
but now it seems that they will be-
come of great commercial worth in
the immediate future Since concrete
has come into such general use for
building purposes, there has been a
great demand for sand. The river
sand now being used is obtained at
considerable expense, and its quality
is very inferior, and unless used with
great caution, wells made with 1t are
liable to collapse and are unsafe, so
it is stated The best authorities say
that there is too much dirt in the
river sand, and that it will soon be
practically impossible to get it with
in convenient distance to Transports
ton Here is where the sandstone of
the mountain country comes in. There
are some expert builders now making
inquiry for a location for roller mill
to crush the stone and ship it to mar
ket. These experts state that the
sand, thus obtained will be nearly pure
silica, and as material for the man.
ufacture of concrete blocks cannot be
excelled 1t is the purpose of the par
ties investigating the matter to estab-
lish a number of mills for crushing
the stone, and they will state that
they already have a demand for more
than dozen mills would be able to
supply
The red sandstone of this section
has the reputation of being among the
finest building stone in the whole
county. Besides being very handsome,
it has the quality of hardening with
age. There is enough of the sand
stone in the Cumberland mountains
to make concrete block, so it is stated,
to build hundred cities the size OF
London.

CALLS ANTi-SA-
LOON CONVENTION
URGES SENATOR {. w. cARMAcK
FOR GOVERNOR.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, May S.-Calling
for convention, preferably in Mem
phis, the Rev. w. Z. Thompson, pas
tor of the Central Methodist church.
has written letter TO Anti-Saloon
league members and representative
business men throughout the state OF
Tennessee. The proposed conven.
ton, If it materializes, will not be a
meeting of the Anti-SaloOn league,
though it is expected most of the
leaders of that organization will be
in attendance; rather it is planned to
make it a gathering of all interested
in temperance, whether or not they
be members of the AntiSaloOn league.
As planned al present five or six rep
resentative men from each county of
the state will attend the convention.
Temperance members of the last leg
islature will also be urged to be pres
ent.
Aside from the call for the conven'
ton the feature of DR.. Thompson S
letter is in again placing the name of
E. w. Carmack before the people as a
candidate for the next Democratic
nomination for governor, Senator
Carmack, it will be recalled, has de-
clared he will not make the race for
the nomination unless circumstances
not now foreseen force it upon him.
DIR. Thompson's letter is as follows:
The Letter.
Il am of the opinion that there
ought to be held during the month OF
June a convention of the temperance
people of the state of Tennessee for
two purposes, to-wit:
"First-To give especial attention
to the enforcement of laws prohibiting
the sale of liquor already on the
statute books of the state.
"Second-To outline the plan OF
campaign by which whisky is to be
driven from the state during the next
two years.
! Il think Memphis is the place for
the convention. ! think Mr.. Carmack
I is the man to head the fight for the
total abolition of the saloon. he
ought to run for governor and ought
to start Immediately.
please give me your opinion about
these matters"
Based upon the replies received
from these inquiries, DR.. Thompson
will. with other Anti-Saloon league
leaders, decide the day and place FOL
holding the convention. That the re
plies will be practically unanimous
for the convention, as well as for the
leadership of Mr.. Carmack, is not
doubted. and from the conyention on
the fight will be waged in deadly
earnest.

that the old topper will cease from

ing the invitation extended some time

is that the date on which Mr.. Delmas

bers would be preparing for their ex-
aminations. Mr.. Delmas had just noti-
fed the club that he, would come here

THAT YES
POLK PARDON
,AsKs AS n A 5ooTLEeGER AL
WAYS ESCAPES PUNISH
MENT SOMEHOW.
Was An Ex-conViet, Worthless And a
Notorious 6ootlegger, Yet The
Governor Pardoned Him.

The pardoning by Gov. Patterson
Saturday of Yes Polk, colored, SEN
fenced TO the work house in the Cir
emit Court OF Maury county for the
illegal sale Of liquor, is only another
instance of the ease with which viola
tors of the law against the sale of
vbiskey escape punishment. The
statement was made from the Cover
nor's Office that Polk was a hard
working man and that the application
for pardon was signed by many prom
inent citizens of this county.
As 10 the first statement, Polk may
have worked hard at his illegal call
ing but if he worked hard to make
an honest living, people acquainted
with his career, do not know it. A
number of years ago he was sentenced
TO the penitentiary for five years for
housebreaking, and since his release
has been in the courts number OF
times in connection with the illegal
sale of liquor AS to many proml-
nent citizens of Maury county signing
a petition to the Governor to pardon
him that statement is doubtless ex-
aggerated. That some good citizens
signed the petition, some of the sign
ers being temperance men who either
did not understand the situation or
were of that class who dislike TO re-
fuse the request of a friend. is per-
hans true. but the people out this way
would like for the Nashville American,
the Governors mouth-piece, to pub
fish the names if that large number"
Of nrominent citizens. A number or
citizens refused to sign the petition,
among the number being Sherln
Webb and other county Of
fcers. They knew the situation and
that Polk should not be pardoned, and
say that his case is simply like the
great majority of like cases, tnat
there is always loop hole some
where whereby the offender escapes
punishment. and that it is well nlgn
useless for the officers to make ar
rests in these cases with any hope OF
the offender meeting his just deserts.
The negro should have served out
his sentence, and according to the
opinion about the court house and IN
legal circles the case was very losely
handled. The negro took an appear
from the verdict in the lower court
but failed to perfect it. The failure
was in some way overlooked ana the
negro maintained his freedom, when
in instice he should have been at WORK
on the county roads. Some months
since witness in the case appileu
for his costs and was told by Judge
Holding that they were ready ana ne
could get Them from the clerk. Tne
witness applied and was turned
down" and Judge Holding then as
covered for the first time that the
negro had never been sent to the work
house. And most likely he never wouio
have gone there If Judge Holding hau
not taken the matter up and ordereu
him sent there to serve out MS sen
tence. He served only two mon'ne'
however, before the Governor came 70

GETS ARTIFICIAL LIMB
Norfolk Boy Cripple for Life as Result
of Baseball.

Carl Nitz, son of Albert Nitz living
five miles northeast of Norfolk, went
to Omaha Monday to have fitted on
the artificial limb that he is to wear
through life.
One of young Nitz's legs was ampu-
tated just above the knee in an Oma-
ha hospital during the summer. Loss
of the limb, it was said, was due to
complications resulting from an injury
received in a game of baseball.
When young Nitz lay very i'll at his
home north of town last spring and
the trip to the hospital seemed neces
sary the kindess of "soulless" rail.
road corporation was appealed to that
the young man might be spared the
dangerous ride overland to the depot
1t was for young Nitz that the M. &
o. passenger stopped at the Nitz farm
yard through which the road passes
while the sick boy was carried to the
train.
After weeks spent in the hospital
Carl Nitz was able to return to Nor.
folk Now he is going back to Omaha
to find a mechanical substitute for the
limb he lost in the hospital some
weeks before.
