AFTERD DA YTONCAS Sc
Attorney General is to lnvesti-
gate Action Of Judge
Dayton as to Miners.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 3D.
II IS learned that the President Is
somewhat exercised over the injunc-
tion issued by Judge Dayton Of
West Virginia the other day. in which
he restrained the officers Of the
United Mine Workers from confer
ring with mine workers in connection
with proposed strike. The injunc-
tion has been widely. criticized on
the ground that It goes too far in
restricting the actions of citizens.
The matter was brought up at the
White House and the President ex-
pressed himself in rather vigorous
terms.
Judge Dayton was appointed to
his present position by President
Roosevelt. 1t is understood that the
President has asked Attorney Gem
eral Bonaparte tot Investigate tho
facts in this case and report to him.

Hot Air in Pullman

In short time from now when

foot to do away with such discom-
forts.
The trouble now is that pipes be-
meath berths are either underheated
or overheated with a result that
sleepers are either freezing or broil-
ing. The plan is to place asbestos
sheets an eighth of an inch thick be-
tween seat cushions and mattresses.

regulated properly Will bring about
desired results.
The scheme is about to be tried
on the st. Paul railroad. and. II it is
successful. it viii likely be taken up

demand will do this.
Hereafter, also heating appara-
tusess in Pullman sleepers win be
in hands OF trainmen instead Of
porters, as porters disply too much
ignorance and indifference in see

of Assault and Battery on
Granville Davis, an
Aged Citizen.
HITS HIM WITH MACE
And Cuts Ugly Cash in Head.
Motion is Made for a
New Trial.

Joel F. Randolph. chief of.police
OF Salem, was convicted in circuit
court here Thursday evening Of as
sault and battery upon Granville H,
Davis, an aged citizen OF that city.
several months go. The jury, how
ever, asked the mercy OF the court
for the convicted officer. His at
torneys made a motion for a new
trial.
Davis is 20 years OF age and Ram
dolph not yet so. 1t appears that
there was an agitation Of some kind
started one evening pt Salem and
Mr.. Davis entered into It with such
spirit as to get out in the street with
his coat off and he did some loud
talking. The mayor from his win
dow saw and heard Davis and order
ed Chief OF Police Randolph to so
out and arrest Davis. The officer
approached Davis. who showed some
resistance, and then Randolph
whacked him over the head with HIS
mace, cutting an ugly cash, though
there were many standing around
who could have been deputized by
the officer to aid in taking Davis to
the lookup.
An indictment against Randolph
followed for assault and battery and
the trial and verdict OF guilty are
the results.
Even the minimum fine would
mean good deal as there we're many
witnesses in the case. making the
costs run up and which Randolph
will have to pay II the court does
not set the verdict aside.

The stage represented a woodland
scene, and the story of The Golden
Sickle proved to be an attractive fairy
tale, beautifully told in song. The cos
tunes were lovely, representing flow
ers, butterflies, blades of grass and the
gorgeous costumes of the queen of the
fairies and the queen If the flowers. the
quaint witches dress, and also dainti-
ly dressed little girls.
The plot proved to be highly enter
tanning to the large audience present,
for no heart grows too old to appreciate
the fond recollection of charming fairy
tales.
The operate was a great success,
Mrs. Harris name being a guarantee
in musical affairs. The piano accom-
paniments were played by Mrs. Harris.
The pleasure of the evening was en-.
HANGED by the music of the orchestra,
composed of MI. Biagi and the Messrs.

The entertainment was repeated Fri,
