than the supply going out the holder begins
to go down again. The lifts which make
the holders telescope are so arranged that
they rest I'm cups which are filled with suf-

body OF the holder is sealed
From the holders the gas passes TO the
valve house, where the pressure Is regu-
lated on the mains. In some plants the
regulation is done automatically, but in
most OF the consolidated plants hand levers
and wheels to turn the valves are used.
The change in the pressure required is
often so great that It is not thought safe
to leave the regulation entirely to auto
matte agencies, so there is always some
one in the valve house night and day TO
listen for the electric signals showing what
the pressure is below Grand street. for
instance or TO watch the gauges which
indicate how strong the fow is at the plant.
Before the gas gets TO your meter It is
likely TO have been tested for candle power

tests must be made at least mile away

SOME GOSSIP OF
LACK OF HARMONY

San Francisco, Cal, July 17-As
the result of a conference YESTERDAY
between Labor Commissioner Neill
and President S. J.. Small of the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union an
end of the telegra piers strike has,
it is believed been brought into sight.
1t was limited about the telegraph
ers headquarters in Oakland that
some friction had developed between
President Small and the three mem
berS of the executive committee of
the national union, who came West
with Commissioner Neill, and one of
them is said to have strongly init
mated that there would be no extern
sion of the strike to other cities,
whatever might be the outcome here.
1t is believed that strong influences
will be brought to persuade the OPP
orators to accept the terms offered
by the companies.
Whatever terms covering wages are
agreed on in settling the strike. the
unionists declare they will insist on
the reinstatement of all the men now
out
President Small says he will prob
ably make public to-day the result of
his conferences with Commissioner
NeiIl He will not vet announce
whether a general strike will be or
dered in the event of the failure of
Neil to bring the strikers and the
companies together

Charlotte, N. c., July 1.-THE de.
tense today began the presentation
+ its testimony in the trial of a score
of citizens of Arson county charged
with lyPching j V. Johnson on the
night of May 2S, 1906. The trial,
which began Monday, and in which
the state rested its case late yester-
day afternoon. has attracted much at
tention, and the little room of me
Union superior court has been crowd
ed with spectators. Johnson was
charged with the murder of his
brOtheT-in-law, and a few days before
the lynching the governor had called
special term of court for his trial
TechnicaIities.
The Hicn on trial were indicted ul-
der an anti-lynching act passed by the
legislature of 1893 the first adopted
by a southern state. 1t provides for
the trial of indicted persons in an ad-
joining county to that in which the
crime was. committed, but the law
omitted provision for punishment for
the crime. At the first trial of these
cases in Union county, the adjoining
county, Arson. last July. the defense
moved to quash the indictments be-
cause no punishment was provided,
and also that trial in any other county
was unconstitutional The court
rule that the crime could be pun
ished under the common law of man
slaughter, burt allowed the other mo-
ton. The supreme court ruled that
the act was unconstitutional and
Governor Glenn called the present
special term of Union county circuit
court to try the cases. Three of tn
defendants fed from the state and
have not been apprehended. If con-
victed the maximum punishment I'M

Doran Question Closed.

Editor of Review:
II seems to me that il is about
time to stop all this "gush" as to
whether or not Captain Doran died
a noble death. Those who hav,
carefully studied the case have
come to the conclusion that any
man who will "go down with his
hand on the whistle cord" when he
can save himself is blamed fool.
The chances are he was so crazed
with the thought or possible belief
that he was the cause Of the fright.
ful disaster, that he lost all reason.
None but chump will stand on
the roof Of burning house till Il
falls in merely because there hap.
pens to be someone in the cellar
who cannot get out All this slush
about the bravery aud 'squaring
the account In heaven" Is merely
gush from the feminine view-to
ge,her with the opinion Of few
male freaks. There is no doubt Of
the bravery Of Captain Doran-
but I'm never going down with my
hand OH the whistle cord as long as
the water Is wet and l eau swim.

mention OF the above we believe il
is time TO call this matter a closed
