LOCKOUT ALABAMA MINERS
Six Hundred Men Idle, Who Re-
fuse to Accept Cut in Wages.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan. II
W. R. Farley, Alabama member of
the national executive committee of
the United Mine Workers of America.
today gave out a statement in regard
to the lockout of union miners by the
Alabama Consolidated Coal & Iron
company at the Brookwood, Searles
and Mary Lee mines. Six hundred
men are idle at these places. Mr..
Farley states that the company want
ed the men to accept ten-cents per
ton reduction, which they would not
consent to DO, upon which the com
pany announced that their mines
would be operated on the open shop
plan. According to Mr. Farley the
miners have a contract with the com
pany which fixes the price of mining
ON the average selling price of pig
iron. When the average iron price is
$11. 80 per ton, the mining price begins
to drop, said Mr. Failey, but the pres
ident of the Alabama Consolidated, in
a telegram to the daily press, announ-
ces an average price of $13 so per ton
for iron, and Mr.. Farley says that it
is asking too much for the miners to
accept 17i5 per cent. cut in wages

BROUGHT VERDICT
FOR ACQUITTAL
MINNIE WOLF CLEARED UN-
DER PLEA OF JUSTIFI-
CATION OF MURDER
OF BEN NILES.

The trial of Minnie Wolf charged
with the murder of Ben Miles in Chat
tanooga last summer, took place before
Judge McReynolds in that city Mon
day.
The story of the killing has already
been told in these columns, but is sub
stantially as follows, from the evil
dence in the trial:
The defendant, Minnie Wolf, form
erly Minnie Brock, of this county, was
sick and in bed on the morning of the
tragedy, when Miles came in and be-
gan quarreling with her sister, Gertie,
formerly his paramour, but who had
taken up with another man. Finally
Miles threatened her sister life, say
ing: Il am going to kill you. This is
as good a time as any. He struck
Gertie, and on her mother going and
catching his arm, knocked her down
Minnie then got out Of bed, and told
him not to strike her mother, and
Miles then said he would kill the
whole family and reached for the ak.
Minnie thereupon shot him with Ger
ties pistol, which was in the top
drawer of the dresser near her Every
effort was made by Attorney General
Wbitake to break down this testimony
of the defense by sharp cross examina-
tion, but it was not successful Many
facts were brought out regarding the
previous life of the defendant, among
which that she had been forced to leave
this county several years ago on ac'
count of her manner of living. 1t was
the story of headstrong girl, wom-
ans downfall and life Of shame and
degradation wrung from her lips by
the keen questioning of the Attorney
General
All during the trial the defendant
sat beside her attorney with absolute
composure, though listening to every
word with deepest interest, occasional
ly leaning forward in her chair tt
catch some statement from the witnes
ses. Time and again she prompted
Mr.. Titus in his cross examination tt
the states witnesses, though al
through the trial until the judge
charge, the only feature of her face be
traying any expression at all were hel
ewes. These were particularly bril-
attention of anyone watching her. AL
most from start to finish of her testi
mony, the defendant maintained per
feet colnposure. Once or twice, how
ever, under the cutting, scathing eros
fire from the Attorney General, thos
wonderfully brilliant eyes blazed, a
the witness Indignantly denied hi
questions.
The verdict of the jury was for ac
quittal, which was brought in Tuesda,
morning as the jury reported at 6 O
clock Monday afternoon that they wer
unable to agree, standing II to | TO

A curious and interesting fact re-

bile poisoning" has been recently com
municated to the Paris Society of Le-

ported in La Nature. Says this paper ::

journey is long one, of producing

of the gases which, penetrating i'll

CANN|BALS SAW

Officers of H. M. s. Cambrian, which
returned to Sydney in September from
a cruise among the Solomon Islands, re-
port that Jack London, the well-known
novelist, and his wife, who are now
making tour of the South Seas, were
selected by the natives of Malaita as q
dish for a cannibal feast, and narrowly
escaped with their lives. They joined
the recruiting schooner Minota in order
to pay visit to Malaita, and were
wrecked ON reef just off the island
Mr.. and Mrs. London were on the reef
for two days and two nights, and dur
ing the whole time they were surround
ed by cannibals in their canoes. The
man-eating tribes from the interior of
Malaita also assembled in large num-

most anxious time, and were continu-

ed. Their escape was due alone to Mr..
Caulfeld, one of the missionaries of the
Queensland Evangelical Mission, who
exerts remarkable influence over the
natives of Malaita. Mr.. Caulfield armed
all his mission boys and they were placed
ON guard. Mr. and Mrs. London were
thus protected while the work of re-
floating the Minota was being carried
out,
