shall decide whether he is entitled to a
hearing before jury to determine the
question of his sanity.
Justice Mills of the Supreme Court
refused recently to grant the application
of Thaw's counsel for jury trial on the
sanity question, and decided to hear the
case himself. The hearing was fixed for
today.
When Thaw was brought into court
his mother and several relatives were
present. The prisoners counsel again
moved for jury trial, and when this
was denied asked that Thaw be dis
charged from custody on the ground
that the jury in the last trial for MUIR

PLAN COTTON MASS MEETING
Low Prices Cause Tumult-Growers
and Hsndlers May Combine.

AA0A4~ASAS
Memphis, Tenn.-If the endeavors of
Harvie Jordan, president of the Southern
Cotton Association, are successful, Mem
phis will soon entertain the largest
gathering of bankers, merchants and
cotton planters ever held in the South
in monster mass meeting.
Recently Mr.. Jordan has been besieged
with letters from prominent planters
from all over the cotton-raising district,
and not few merchants and bankers,
importuning him to call together the
producers of cotton to take action and,
if possible, stem the tendency toward
low prices in cotton.
Mr.. Jordan selected Memphis as the
city which brings best results, and to
this end Richard Cheatham, former sec
retary of the Southern Cotton Associa-
tion, came to Memphis Monday to enlist
the cooperation of the citizens of this
city in the movement.
Mr.. Jordan believes that if the meet
ing is called and Memphians will take
an active part in its promotion, not less
than 10000 people will be in attendance.

WILSON ON NIGHT RIDING
Governor Calls on the People to
Arise in Thor Might.

Frankfort, Ky.-In offering $500 re-
ward for the apprehension and convie-
tion of the gang of night riders who
attacked negro named Walker in his
home in Hickman county last week, and
slew him, his wife and two children,
Gov. Wilson Monday made an appeal to
the people of the State to "arise in
their might" and put down such lawless-
ness.
The governor says:
"If two or three men had gone to this
poor cabin and murdered the family, the
crime would have shocked humanity
with its revelation of incredible wicked
ness, brutality and dastardly cowardice.
That larger number, some fifty men,
Joined in such crime multiplies the
cowardice and wickedness fifty-fold and
makes every member of the band guilty
of murder in the first degree-the basest,,
wickedest and most cowardly, inhuman
murder conceivable in mortal mind"
The governor calls upon the people
to assemble in their respective neighbor-
hoods in the counties to 'organize and
take stern, prompt and effective meas
ures to punish every cowardly scoun-
drel who rides the roads to threaten his
neighbors, to put an immediate end to
lynching, murder and arson," and calls
on the local authorities in each county
to be earnest and vigilant, offers them
the whole people of the State or as
much as each shall need, for the instant
arrest and punishment of all guilty of
these crimes, and do everything possible
to clear the name and honor of Ken
lucky of the shame and disgrace OF such
crimes.

DIAMOND ROBBER ARRESTED
Gems to Amount of $40, 900 Taken
-, Off st. Louis Negro.

st. Louis, Mo.--With diamonds in his
shoes, tucked away in seams of his
clothing and hidden in every conceivable
part of his effects, George Foster, ne
gro, was arrested in room at 1919
Pine street, this afternoon. The mans
treasure amounted to over $4,000.
1t was the biggest diamond robbery
arrest in the city in months. All of the
glistening pile of unset stones was
identified as those composing the lot
which was stolen from s. G. Powell, rep
resentatiye of the s. G. Powell Diamond

against Cannon for his dictation as to
what legislation shall or shall not be

vote out the Republican party that
makes Cannon's boss-ship possible. De.

TAFT GAVE HIS APPROVAL
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE SANG
TIoNs PLAN TO HOLD THREAT
OVER WoRKINeMEN.
Wages Reduced by Tariff Protected
lndustry--Business Good, But Res
toratlon Of Pay Contingent on
Taft's Election.

Chicago, September Especially The
trusts, monopolies and beneficiaries of
high tariff have inaugurated anew
their scheme of intimidating their EN-.
ployes to vote for Taft. This form
of bribery Is well illustrated in the
notice which has been posted in the
shops of the Standard Roller Ball Bear
ing Company of Philadelphia, a copy
of which has come into the hands OF
the Democratic national committee.
The notice reads:
"The reduction of ten per cent. in
wages last winter was to have been
restored when business conditions
would warrant it. While we are busy
at present, we feel that its continua-
tion will depend upon the result of the
presidential election, and that If Mr..
Taft is elected general improve
ment in all lines of business will er-
suit.
"On November % we will, therefore,
restore the old rating to all employees
whose wages were reduced ten per
cent. last winter, provided Mr. Taft
is elected president.
(Signed) IS. S. EVELAND.
president"
An investigation reveals the fact
that before this notice was posted Mr..
Eveland made trip to Hot Springs,
Va, saw Mr.. Taft, and obtained his
approval Of the course. Mr.. Eveland
admitted that he had done this when
questioned about the matter, and
stated that others in the iron and
steel business would do the same.
1t will be noticed that the reduction
in wages was made last winter under
a Republican administration, and still
continues while the concern Is enjoy
ing the benefits of the Dingley tariff,
which it has had for IL years; 1t
should also be observed that the mo-
tices cite the fact, I'VE are busy at
present." so that the advance might
now be made as was promised. But
the company is holding out the bribe
that it will not be made unless Taft
is elected.
Mr.. Eveland said further when these
facts were called to his attention,
that his company had 1000 men at
WOAh AOWS anu tAdL OluCAo -"OAO pa
ing up so fast that we can hardly catch
up with them" In spite of that he
holds over the heads of his employees
the threat that their wages will not
be restored If Bryan is elected.
In explaining why he had reduced
wages under Roosevelt and proposed
to restore them under Taft, Mr.. Eve
land said:
Taft is a very different man from
Roosevelt. 1t is all right for the peo-
pie out west to think that Taft is just
like Roosevelt. Just keep them think
ing that way, but we in the east know
different. Why, there is no compar-
ison between the two"

output of the country. 1t makes the

bail bearings, the largest made in

those who are interested in it are the

and several of its directors are also
directors of the United States steel
trust. The company maintains an

Democrats Of Idaho had agreed
upon one set of presidential electors,
and are now confident of carrying that
state. 1t will be remembered that the
Democrats divided in the state con-
