here. He quite naturally can't
stand the steady strain as in
former days.
Some of the mines run five
days last week, so there is little
room to complain of dull times.
If this condition of affairs con-
tlnue, many miners say that as
much work will be done in five
days as is done in full week
because a dav of rest causes
them to work harder the other
five.
We understand that the re-
suits of the late examination for
Assistant Mine Inspectors has
been prepared by Prof. Norwood
and Assistant Spillman and
placed before the Governor for
his action. The many friends
of Thos. Long hope to see HIM
get one of the three positions
now left to Gov. Wilson for his
appointment.
The Fox Run miners were rep.
resented here al the walking
match, and one of them we un-
derstand came over after cake,
even if it did cost twenty dollars.
When a worthy cause presents
itself they don't stand back on
cost, or in other words the Earl
Ington miner must either bid up
or take a back seat when a cake
| is up for sale.
| We sometimes believe, though
while not in strict compliance
with the law, that a man under
certain circumstance and con-
ditions should be justified In re-
sentlng insulting language with
a blow. A case of this kind
came to trial last week in this
county. The facts as we have
been able to gather them is that
one of our citizens while being
called abusive names by a mem
Der of the Union Mine Workers
resented the same by some well
directed blows and for SO doing
was heavily fined.
No one could question the
bravery of the eXconfederate
when facing his lenemy on the
battle field, but when it comes
to standing up before an audi

pie and admitting that number

their fit, their heart failed them.
So 1t fell to ID. w. Winstead
machinist of the st. Bernard
Co., to stand up and plead guilty

A rumor was aaoat last week
to the effect that the mines con-
trolled by the Union Mine Work
ers on the Illinois Central Rail
Road in Kentucky would supply
the fuel for the entire system
controlled by that company.
That this report was premature
is evident from the fact that
since that time. the st. Bernard
Co., have been called upon for
quite a large amount of coal
daily for use by the Illinois Cen
trail II. r. Co., on their system.
Manager F. ID. Rash and
the st. Bernard force of civil
engineers have completed their
survey for the foundation of a
new coal crusher near the No IL

been growing demand for
steam coal, and experience has
shown that coal crushed in small
particles is more valuable for

JUDGE MULLOWNY GOES THE

One Year in Workhouse for Ben

'This is one of the most brutal cruelty

anyway" The injury was of such a
nature that the service OF a veterinarian
was required, and six stitches were nee
essary to close the wound.
1t developed that Russell was employed
and for some reason or other had taken
a prejudice toward the animal, which he
had had charge of for some time.
The arrest of Russell took place last
night on the strength of a warrant sworn
to by Inspector Wright of the Humane
Society last fall. shortly after the act is
said to have occurred. The delay in the
arrest was due to the liability of the local
police to locate the defendant.

WEST IS NOT HONOR BOUND
NOT CONVINCED BY MoRRows
ETHICAL VIEWPOINT.
Ready to Fly in Face Even Of Legal
Aspect to Change Site Of
Satisfaction.

Despite the opinion Of Mai Jay J.
Morrow. Engineer Commissioner. made
public yesterday. regarding the site for
the substation in Southwest Washington
for the convenience of southern trav-
elers." in which he pointed out the re-
sponsibilities Of the board of Commits
sloners and declared they are honor
bound as we'll as legally bound to stick
to their approval Of the site at 14th and
Water streets southwest. Commissioner
West Is firm in his disapproval of that
site.
He has made up his mind that it Is to
the best interests of the District and the
citizens to have the station located be-
tween eth and AZ streets southwest. He
proposes to make every effort to have it
located there
He says he has talked with many peo-
pie upon the subject and has received
numerous letters from persons interested
one way or the other. And he has come
to the conclusion that the only persons
in favor of the Water street site are
the Pennsylvania railroad and the engi-
neer department of the District.
AS for the Commissioners being legally
bound to their first approval-the Water
street site-he says he will not question
that point until an opinion is submitted
by the corporation counsel, to whom the
question has been referred. In the event
that opinion upholds the contention OF
Maj. Morrow-that the Commissioners are
legally bound to stick to their first ap-
proval-it may be. by majority vote, the
Commissioners will officially revoke their
approval and order the station placed on
the 7th street site. Notwithstanding they
may be subject to a mandumus proceed
ing, as was intimated by Commissioner
Morrow in his statement yesterday.

GAS METERS TO ESCAPE TAX
PERSONAL PROPERTY OF TWO
LOCAL CORPORATIONS.
Opinion Of Corporation Counsel
Which Will Probably Govern
ASSESSOR Office.

1t is considered almost sure that there
Will be no assessment upon the 4oWD gas
meters owned by the two local gas COM
panies.
According TO W. p. Richards, assessor
or the District, the meters are regarded
as personal property. AS such the cor
poration owners are exempted from tax
upon them in view of the fact that they
are required by an act OF Congress to pay
tax of . per cent of their gross earnings
to the District in lieu of all personal
taxation.
If the meters had been determined by
the board of assessors OF the District as
real property. as in the case of service
pipes, 2 question recently settled after
much consideration, 1t would have been
possible to have made the gas companies
pay for them
The gas meters were omitted from the
books of the triennial assessment, in prep
aration for six months and completed and
approved by the Commissioners last week.
1t was generally believed by the assess
ors office that the meters would be added
later.
In the meantime the corporation coun-
sci, to whom the matter of determining
whether the meters are personal or real
property in the meaning of the law and
In actual existence was referred, informed
the assessor that there is no question
about their being personal property.
