from the law. is infectious in the


sight Of Gud and man.
In calling attention to the
comparatively few executions for
murder in this country, Presi-
6ent-elect Taft was quoted when
he said, '"The administration of
the criminal law in all of the
states of the Union there may
be two or three exceptions is a
disgrace to our civilization.
Figures based on investigation
of the records of the past twenty
years, Rev. Mr.. WerIein said,
showed that hardly more than
one out of every sixty murderers
were exC cuted.
While speaking of the increase
of crime, the speaker said there
were 1900 murders in 1896, s.
462 in 1904, 9,212 in 1905 and
more than 10, 900 in 1907. A plea
was made for a more rigid en-
forcement of the laws prohibit
ing the carrying Of concealed
weapons.
Whoever heard, " Rev. Mr..
Werlein said, of anyone being
arrested and punished for carry
ing concealed weapons unless it
be some poor, unfriended negro,
who has attracted the attention
of the police?'
Referring to the death of Sena-
tor Carmack recently, Rev. Mr..
Werlein said:
1T is more than probable that
if the pistol had not been con-
cealed, Senator Carmack of Tenn
essee, who fell the other day be-
fore the bullet of his assallant,
would be alive today -
In an effort to arouse public
sentiment against the man who
carries revolver, the speaker
said;
Let the man who conceals a
weapon on his person be denounc-
ed as an outlaw. Let him be-
come an outcast, an enemy of
society. Let every voice thunder
against him. Ark. Gazette.

MAY HAVE Been
DOUBLE MURDER
Police Think Husband of
Woman May Also Have
B e e n Slain

Hot Springs, Dec. q. That
N. J. Horn, husband of the wo-
man whose BODY was brought
here today, after being buried
ten years, following her murder
by Harey Shuffield, the story of
which war revealed through a
confession by Will Shuffield, who
helped bury the body, was also a
victim of the slayer, is the be-
lief of officers who have investi-
gated the case today.
The husband disappeared two
days before Mrs. Horn left this
city with Hardy Shuffield. 1t is
recalled now that Mrs. Horn was
visibly agitated when neighbors
asked about Mr.. Horns where
abouts just previous to her de-
parture. Hardy Shuffield and
Mrs. Horn had formed an al
lance, according to the confess
ssion, which Shuffield wanted to
break, in order to get back to his
family, when Mrs. Horn threat
to tell what she knew. and her
murder followed.
F. E, Davis of Jacksonville
left tonight with the bones of
the murdered woman and a small
breastpin taken from the grave,
which was a further positive
Identification of Mrs. Horn.
The Shuffields were tried for
the murder of Mrs. Horn, but
were acquitted because there
was no proof that she had been
slain, and they claimed she had
gone to Texas, after going over
land to Arkadelphia. where she
took an Iron Mountain train.
The same story was told as to
the disappearance Of her nus
band. Adam Allen and other
farmers, who found the woman's
body, are making a search for
the remains of the husband in
the vicinity where the wife was
murdered.
Will Thuffield's confession impli-
Gated no one except himself and
Hardy Shuffield. The latter was
killed here in a bar room four
years ago. Will Shuffield cannot
be prosecuted because he has
been tried, acquitted, but in an
ticipation that some other ac-
complete may afterward be con-
nected with the case, Coroner
Randolph viewed the body and
oflially declared it to be that of
Mrs. Horns, so that in case other
developments arise the woman
will be o&cially proclaimed dead,
the lack of which occasioned the
acquittal Of the brothers.

UNITED STATES LEADS IN MURDER


LITTLE Rock, Ark, Dec. %. =
THE Deadly Pistol and the Muir
derous Bowie Knife" was the
theme of Rev. S. H. Werleln at
the Winfield Memorial M. Il.
Church, South, last night, and
the speaker denounced the prac-
tice ef carrying concealed Weap
ons of every sort and decrled the
prevalence of crimes made posi-
BILE only by the fact that men are
willing to violate the law by
carrying weapons.
In opening his discourse Rev.
Mr.. Werlein contrasted the mel
ody of the Christmas time broken
by the discordant sound OF the
revolver. In contrasting the for
mer custom of dueling, which
was finally stamped out by the
force of public sentiment, with
the practice of shooting men
down without warning today,
Rev. Mr.. Werlein said:
THE man who today sends or
accepts a challenge is denounced
in such terms as leave no doubt
as to the light in which public
opinion views him. Public opln-
ion is like the voice of God and
few people have the temerity to
deny it. But while dueling has
been practically forbidden by the
public it is not so bad as its SUBJ
stitute, revolvers, Bowie knives,
Safeguarding and street assassl-
nations under the pretext of SELF
defence. This is the method en-
ployed today to wipe out personal
disagreements and anime sites.
Murder is very common. A man
becomes the judge, jury and ex-
ecutioner, takes the law in his
own hands and in the expecta-
ton of proving case of self-de-
Tense or insanity, takes the life
of the one who has offended
him.
In speaking of the prevalence
in this country, as compared with
the number of similar crimes in
other countries, Mr.. Werleln
said:
Canada furnishes fewer muir
ders than any other nation. In
Canada there are three homicides
annually for each million of peo-
pie: in Germany,5; in Great Brit
ain, 10; in France. IA; in Bel
GUM, 10; while IN the united
States there are annually 1873 for
each million. America is only
surpassed by a number of coun-
tries which are regarded as on y
partially civilized and to small
extent Christianized. "
In discussing the causes for
this condition of affairs, one of
those urged was the laxity in the
enforcement Of the law, and the
fact that a wealthy prisoner could
secure many advantages which
could not be secured by the poor
er prisoner. Lawyers who de-
fend men they believe to be
guilty came in for an eXcoriation,
the speaker saying:
Il am constrained to say that
a lawyer, knowing his client is
guilty, who seeks to shield him

DISQUIETING REPORTS
FROM CENTRAL AMERICA

Mobile September 22-Reports brought
here today by parties arriving from Mica
ragua, Honduras and other Central Amer
lean countries, say that the people do not
believe that these countries have agreed
to disarm in response to an order of the
Central American courts of justice. These
residents of the southern republics say
that such a thing could not be possible at
this time. and instead of there being any
effort for general disarmament, the con-
trary would rather be the case.
A well-known resident of Livingston,
Guatemala, arriving here, says that the
country is very much alarmed over the
several attempts to assassinate President
Jose Santos Zelaya. He said that within
the last two months at least five at
tempts had been made to murder tho
chief executive of the country, and that
there was much anxiety as it was be-
lieved one of the efforts might prove sue
cessful.
The condition of business generally was
reported as very discouraging

LACEY DISCUSSES
ELECTION RESULTS
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
Our city election at Pratt City passed
off very quietly. There were no unpleas-
ant occurrences nor Incidents during the
day. although a large crowd was present
from the time the polls opened until Off
cial count was announced.
A strong and stubborn fight was made
by the opposition, headed by my opponent.
Mr. G. K. Clayton, who is a gentleman
of the highest order and business man
of unquestioned ability and perfect in
tegrity. The quality and character of my
opponent only increases my appreciation
of the compliment paid me by my re-elec-
ton to the office of mayor. l can but
regard my election as an Endorsement of
my present administration.
While l am sensibly conscious of not
having succeeded in pleasing everybody,
yet 1 have the satisfaction of having
done my duty under the law. l realize
that anyone is liable to err, as every
public man is subject to criticism, and
oftimes is made the victim of unjust ac-
cusations.
have no Ill feeling against anyone
who may have opposed me. They did
their best, and hope they did it honestly.
So did we.
Now, then, the election is over. Let us
drop the past, forget those differences
and work together for the common good
of our town.
| shall endeavor in the future, as
have tried to do in the past, to perform
the duties of the office faithfully, without
fear or favor, in what believe to be the
best interest of our people. / am very
truly yours, j. e. LACEY.

The thing that is necessary to make the
trees healthy and vigorous goes up in
smoke every year.
What have mentioned, and the many
destructive methods being practiced in
the cutting of timber in the forest and In
the manufacturing of it, is costing the
south millions of dollars of which she Is
taking no account, and the present low
prices of lumber and naval stores will
add to the destruction, for the reason
that many of the owners of timber and
turpentine leases will not have money to
pay the expense of raking the pines. Our
naval stores and lumber are being sent all
over the world, and in the majority of
cases we are not making expenses out
of our commodity, with total loss of our
timber which Is really valuable enough
to bring a good, liberal stumpage We are
selling our turpentine at 35 and SO cents
per gallon, and 1t will cost 81 per gallon
to reproduce the forest from which 1t Is
being taken The same thing will apply
to rosn. We are giving the world our
crop of lumber at an average of about
SIS per 1000 feet that will cost us from
$40 to $50 per 1000 feet to reproduce"

SOUTHERN PINE
BADLY NEGLECTED.
yellow Pine Supply Is Rapidly
Diminishing
FIRES KILL YOUNG TREES
Timber Owner of Florida Deprecates
Methods Used BY Turpentne Peo-
Pile, Who Destroy Too Much
Young Timber.

Washington, September 22.-(Special)-
In many parts of the country the most
progressive men of the lumber industry
have felt the greatest necessity of adopt
ing better methods of protecting their
timber holdings from fire, but in some
places there still remains much to be
done. This is particularly true through
a part of the great yellow pine belt of
the south, upon which the naval stores
industry of the world is largely DEEPEN
dent timber owner of Florida, in
writing to the forest service at Washing
ton, talks of the matter as follows
Speaking of fire protection, there is
absolutely nothing being done. The tur-
pentne people, to protect their turpen
time timber, rake around the trees during
early winter and then burn the woods.
This is done to keep off the forest fires
of early spring. These fires are supposed
to be set by the cattle interests, for the
purpose of burning off the dry grass SO
that the young grass will come up, on
which the cattle feed. In doing this they
destroy millions of young pines that have
just started to grow and are too small
and tender to stand the heat of the fire.
IF these fires could be stopped it would
solve the problem of reforesting, as far
as Florida is concerned. l have thought
for long time that no fence law would
go far toward stopping the burning of
the woods. AS it is now there is no regu-
lation.
"Whas4 mean to say is, that if you
own a small piece of land, say 40 acres,
liberty TO Craze your cattle on my 10000
acres of land, or on my neighbours 10000
acres of land, and we cannot help our
selves. If we could catch you firing the
woods and had witness to prove 1t,
we could prosecute you, but this is hard
to do. If we had no fence law, you as
cattle owner would be compelled to keep
your cattle in an enclosure, which would
remove the temptation of burning the
woods of your neighbors, besides being of
infinite benefit to poor people in starting
little farms. In many instances the
fencing of the land is by all odds the
largest item of expense in starting a
small farm, and often puts it beyond the
make little start toward farming.
1.-The burning of the grass not only
kills millions of small pines trees but 1t
impoverishes the soil and exposes the
ground to the heat of the sun, thereby
retarding the growth of not only small
pine trees but the large ones as we'll
