New York Sun, August IS: Charles
Wilson, 14-years old of 142 Classon
avenue, Brooklyn, was standing on one
Of the partitions in the steamship Will
liam P. Moffett watching the longshore-
men unloading a cargo of cracked corn
in the Wallabout Basin yesterday
when a board slipped and he fell into
the hold. The cracked corn began to
swallow him like quicksand. His leg
had caught in the chain of the scoop
as he hit the cargo. This stopped the
machinery and warned the workmen
that something was the matter. When
they ran around to the place only the
boys leg was protruding. Hook and
Ladder company 69 was called in and
began chopping the chain with axes
but by the time it was cut through the
boy had been smothered to death.
Since the death of his father, year
ago, Wilson was the only support OF
his mother and five little brothers and
sisters. He was a big fellow for his
age and had been used to taking work
that was thought to be too heavy for
any one but men.
jackson, KY, August 29: Moth
er love, the most powerful lever in
this cold world, is the distinguishing
feature of the trial for murder OF
Beauchamp Hargis, now before the
county court. Young Hargis brutal
ly murdered his own father, Judge
James Hargis, long the most motor
ious feudest in the mountains OF
Breathitt county. The son, leering and
drunken in a rage shot his father to
death. But the wife Of the feudest,
Injured to blood, and the mother OF
the murderer, stands by her offspring
and places her fortune and her life
at stake to prevent his going to the
gallows. With Mrs. Hargis eliminat-
ed from the equation the patricide
would in all probability be convicted.
AS matters stand he has at least
fighting chance for acquittal, despite
the enormity of his crime. The youth
full murderer is using his share OF the
estate left by his victim to free him
self from the moose. Against him,
with determined bitterness, are his
two uncles, brothers of his father, Ell
bert and Alexander. They are fur
nishing the public prosecutor with
funds to help send their nephew to the
death trap.

Atlantic City, y. J. has been great
ly stirred during the past ten days over
the determination of Governor Fort
of that state, to enforce the excise
laws and close all barrooms on sun
days. The saloon men and hotel
keepers have openly detied the gov
ernOr and told him plainly to do his
worst. Last week Governor Fort stat
ed that the saloons were 10 De clOSeu
if it took all the militia of the state to
do the work. The saloon men thought
he was bluffing, but last Friday Judge
Higbee, long considered a component
part of Atlantic City'S political ma
chine, issued what he chose TO term
"a friendly warning to his friends-the
hotel men of Atlantic City In part
the Judge said: Il want TO warn them
that a crisis has been reached in the
history of Atlantic City. l want TO
say to them, and l say it in the most
friendly spirit, that the time has come
when they must realize the fact that
Atlantic City is part of the state OF
New Jersey and that they must com
ply with the laws Of the state. l am
confident that the governor means
what he says when he declares he
will send troops to Atlantic City and
summon a special session CT the leg
islature to compel the passage of dras-
tic legislation to remedy the condition
now existing in Atlantic City. The
governor is a fOrceful man. | am
convinced that he means what he
saws He will win eventually, because
he has right on his side and the pow
er of the whole state back of him. Be
cause Of these things | say to my
