STUBBORN LEGAL FIGHT ENDS
Supreme Court Decides So-Calle'
Peonage Case In Alabama.

On the technicality that the case had
not been really tried in the courts below.
the Supreme Court Of the United States
today decided the so-called peonage case
OF Alonzo Bailey Of Alabama against him.
In money, the case involved a very small
sum- but it has been stubbornly fought
because it called into question a statute
of Alabama, which, 1T was contended In
Bailey's interest. practically gives au-
thority to imprison for debt. T.
Bailey was placed under arrest on the
order Of a justice Of the peace in Mont
gomery county. Ala, on the charge of
having obtained SIS under a contract in
writing, and under the law in question
the city court of Montgomery refused to
release him on a writ of habeas corpus
The Alabama supreme court sustained
the verdict on the ground that there had
been evident purpose on Bailey's part
to defraud his, creditor The opinion of
the Supreme Court was handed down by
Justice Holmes, and was based on the
gorund that the case had not been tried
on It's merits.
Justice Harlan: delivered a dissenting
opinion, in which he maintained that
Bailey was entitled. on the record. to
bring his case to the Supreme Court as
a matter Of right He declared the de-
cision Of the court to be without prece-
dent Justice Day concurred in the dis
senting opinion.

LUNCH COST HIM HIS LIFE
PASSENGER WHO LEFT TRAIN
ROBBED AND HANGED.
Wife and Twelve Children Continue
Journey in Ignorance
Of Tragedy.

ROANOKE, Va. December 2l.-While
en- route with his wife and twelve children
from Esterhazy. Canada. to Petersburg.
Va, where they expected to make their
home, Charles Kreicar, an Italian. met q
tragic death near Graham, Va, yesterday.
His body was found hanging to a tree
suspended by heavy Irvine around his
neck.
The police believe that kreicar who
displayed a large roll of money yesterday
on the train between Cincinnati and Blue
field, w. Va, according to the conductor,
was robbed and murdered.
When the train reached Bluefeld last
night Kreicar left it to get lunch for the
wife and children. The train pulled out
before kreicar, returned and he was left
behind. kreicar had the railroad tickets
from Roanoke to Petersburg in his pocket
and when the train reached Roanoke after
midnight Mrs. Kreicar and the twelve lit
tie ones entered a waiting room and re-
mained there all night. A message today
told of the finding of his body. The rail-
road tickets. IS in American money and
two Canadian coins were in kreicar's
pockets.
The conductor said that Kreicar ap-
peared to be very happy at the prospects
OF reaching his new home in time to
spend the holidays with his wife's father,
Frank Fayfar, a farmer. living near Pc
tersburg. Kreicars body has been taken
to Petersburg for fnterment.

TRYING TO SAVE THE YANKEE
SALVAGE OPERATIONS RESUM-
ED BY THE CONTRACTOR.
Believes That He Will Be Able to
Take the Vessel to Brooklyn.
Court of Inquiry Meets.

Determined efforts are being made for
the salvage Of the u.S.S Yankee which
was purchased during the Spanish war at
a cost Of about 5000 900 and converted into
cruiser. Since she first grounded about
two months ago., score of naval vessels
and fully a thousand men have been en-
gagged in raising and towing her TO port,
but so far without entire success. Mr..
John .Arbuckle., who has contracted to
save the vessel, managed, by the use of
compressed air, to get her afioat about
two weeks ago. While being lowed to
port she sank again in deeper water.
Salvage operations were renewed today
by two naval vessels-the Lebanon and
the Pontiac-and nine regular wrecking
vessels furnished by the contractor. The
plant includes air .compressors, cables
piping pumps and pontoons, and is much
more powerful than that formerly en-
ployed: Mr.. Arbuckle reports that he has
made a thorough survey OF the ship with
divers since her second sinking. and he
feels certain that he will be able to float
the Yankee and deliver her at the New
York navy yard according to his contract
in which the sum of approximately $50. OO0
is involved.
While these operations are in progress
a naval court Of inquiry Is in session at
Boston endeavoring to fix the RESPONSE
bility for the grounding Of the vessel.
