Miss Helen Dixon, pretty girl who
for two years has been treasurer of
the Gianers' society of the Second
Christian church, was placed under
arrest this afternoon, it being alleged

She was the custodian of money
that had been earned by the society
in various ways. the money to be ap-
piled upon the purchase of a new
organ. This organ had just arrived.
1t cost $4,000.
When Miss Dixon was asked TO-
the money in her possession she could
not produce it, simply remarking
that she had nothing to say regard
ing it. All efforts to secure some in
formation from her were unsuccess-
| full, and it finally became necessary
! to place her under arrest this after
noon.
| She has brother in Chicago and
parents in Michigan, but declines to
give the address of either.

FREE ALCOHOL SECOND
ACT OF EMANCIPATION
Cheapening Alcohol for Industrial
Purposes viii Accomplish
Great Revolution

Now that denatured alcohol has
been relieved of the enormous tax of
the internal revenue, it is to be of in
finite value to the farmer, if We are
to believe Day Allen Willey's article
in the February Appleton's. The
author says:
You may say that 20 years is
short time in which to accomplish
such an industrial revolution as has
been foretold. Is it? What did we
know of the telephone quarter of a
century ago? Those who saw the huge
ugly looking leather disk that was
shown at the Centennial exposition
in 1876, ridiculed the assertion Of
the signer that it would convey words
beyond the ordinary range of the hui
man voice. Today the telephone has
reached everywhere that civilization
has reached. 1t is indispensable in
modern life. Less than 80 years ago,
the first exchange was established in
America, and now some of them have
subscribers connected with central
by the barb wire fences which not
only bound the farm but form the
telephone line Twenty years ago the
oil stove was a curiosity. but the
fact became known that the surface
of the country concealed an under
ground sea of petroleum, the coal
age was replaced by the petroleum
era in many of the states beyond tie
Mississippi. The possibility that 20
years hence we may live in the age
of alcohol is no more wonderful than
the advent of the telephone, the oil
stove, the cotton gin, or the combined
harvester and threasher.

GOVERNOR HOPES
STRIKERS win

JACKSON, Miss, Aug. 27.--An
attempt has been made by the
Western Union manager here to
enlist Gov. Vardaman against the
operators. II Is alleged that a party
of citizens at Grenada forced the
local manager TO close his office
and leave town and that the same
action was contemplated at Green
wood.
The governor in reply, directed
the Western Union to appeal to the
courts II the law is being violated,
as he would take no action until it
was shown the officers could not en-
force the law. The complaint is
not taken seriously at the capital,
being regarded as purely a sym
pathy play on the part of the com.
pany.
In speaking of the strike Gov,
Vardaman said that no violations
of the law would be tolerated, but
that he hoped with all his heart
the operators would win. He be-
lieved their cause is just.

FATE OF ANOTHER iNFORMER
ON WOMEN SLAVE OWNERS
SHOWS DESPERATE METH
obs RESORiED TO IN PRE-
SERVING ORGANIZATION,

Chief of Police Rlce's orders that
all slave women who contribute to
their owners should leave town by
Oct. is aimed directly at the
class of French outlaws who for
many years have infested this
county and particularly this city,
and carried on their nefarious prac-
tice, on account of having been left
entirely free from molestation by
police or county officers here.
1t seems useless to order the
French parasites themselves to
leave, but by banishing the women
the whole criminal outfit may be
driven out.
There are only French girls in
the Main and Yale. blocks who are

The slave Of this latter was Jen.
ME Cooper. Her owner got into
trouble just before his death and 1t
was always limited that he gave
away secrets of the parasite gang,
but the truth of this could never be
ascertained. However, a small
party of Frenchmen, all members
OF the organization which Cooper
was charged with informing on,

He had been shot from behind

there was nothing to disprove it.

is realized that some contract must
be made that will insure lights for
the present, but no year contract
should be countenanced.
The public generally would
rather pay the local monopoly a
bigger price for its light for the

ton and install a municipal light

WAITING FOR
HER SON

Mrs. Mary Dixon, a poor, broken
down woman Go years of age, Is at
the Salvation Army home waiting
for some tidings of her son, Ar
thur T. Dixon. By some means she
made her way to Spokane yester-
day from the poor farm ut Elber-
ton and remained at the depot all
night before the police found her.
She pathetically told them she only
wanted to see her son once more,
and then she would go back.
Today she was taken to the
home, to- be kept until her SON
could be located, II possible. He
had been employed at the N. p.
roundhouse and had boarded at the
Dempsey hotel until few days
ago. 1t is supposed he has gone to
work for the Great Northern. The
Associated CHARITIES is endeavoring
to locate him.
Long suffering has affected the
old woman's mind and she is not In
condition to take care of herself.
How her son, while able to work.
has allowed her to become a county

The lighting contract of the w.
w. p. Co. will probably be UP be-
fore the city council for considera-
ton this evening. The city's con-
tract expires Aug. 81. The PROPOSE
ton made by the power monopoly
is to furnish lights for the next 5
years at the old contract price. The
company claims that it's price for
street lights is less than paid by
any other city In the country, a
statement which is not true. 1t is
contended by private consumers OF
light and power that the rates
charged citizens by the local
monopoly are among the highest
paid in the country, and there is an
insistant demand that the city en-
ter into consideration of the public
ownership of light and power as a
means to securing for the public
reasonable rates.
The present council is not OPP
posed to the city owning its own
light and power, If members of the
council are to be believed, and 1t
is possible that some action VIII
be taken to give the people the re-
lief prayed for and break the pow
err of the w. w. p. Co.

the city cannot use them to dis
tribute lights and power to private
parties. 1t is interesting to know
that the same conditions prevailed
in Seattle. The power company
there also contended that the city
could not use the top arm for COM
mercial purposes. The courts held,
however, that the top arm belongs

CONTRACT JOBS
PROTESTED

A resolution was adopted last
night by the Central Labor union
on behalf of the federal unions, pro-
testing against putting down water
mains by contract. The resolution
says the board Of public works is
attempting to establish the con-
tract system in laying water mains
and that the contract system will
make 1t a difficult matter to retain
the present scale OF wages paid by
the city.
The legislative committee Of the
central body was instructed to take
the matter In hand and to protest
against the proposed change.
