fracture of the skull. Turek was as
Baulted with piece of clothes pole by
Paul Holas, at Chapman avenue, yes
terday afternoon and his death has
caused charge of murder to be
brought against Holas, who disappeared
after the fight, and who is now being
sought by the police.
Turek, it is declared, got full of IL
quor yesterday afternoon and, on going
home, became engaged in row with
Holas, who lived on the second floor.
In the back yard Turek and Holas
came to blows, it is alleged, during
which the later hit Turek over the
head. Frank Hoas, brother of the
fugitive, and Frank Kutches, of Totten-
vile, his step-brother, were witnesses to
the fight and were arrested shortly af
ter the trouble by Patrolman Hanson.
The policeman, on arriving, found
Turek lying on the ground in the yard
back of the house, with the front part
of his head crushed in. Finding that
Turek still breathed a hurry call was
sent for Dr. M. S. Meinzer but he was
out of town. DIR. w. E. Ramsay was
secured and he hurried to the scene in
his automobile.
The injured man was taken to the
hospital in the ambulance where an op-
Grafton was performed Immediately by
Doctors Tyrrell, Lund and Ramsay.
Turek sank rapidly and it was seen that
he could not live long The end came
at CLOCK.
The police have a description of the
murderer and Detectives Huff and Long
are following up clue today. Last
night every effort was made by the po-
lice to find Holas, without avail. The
two men locked up in the police station
were held as witnesses.
Chief Burke notified Prosecutor Ber-
dine this morning of the case. Mr. Ber-
dine, when asked if any autopsy would
be necessary, said that he would be here
this afternoon to learn details.
Finds Babes Body in Woods.
Ignatz Myers, of 239 Washington
street, while cunning in Koch g woods
near Inslee street at 2 clock yesterday
afternoon saw bundle lying the
ground. AS 1t was wrapped up in a
newspaper his curiosity prompted him
to open it. He found inside the body
of new born infant, wrapped in a
worsted shawl.
Around the child g neck a red border
ed napkin was tightly tied. He loosen
ed this and sent word to the police.
Coroner Ferd G. Garretson, on being no
titled, went to the woods and brought
the body to his morgue in High street.
The child looked as if had been dead
about ten days and, on account of the
napkin around its neck, there was rea-
son to believe that it had been muir
dered.
County Physician J. L. Suydam was
notified by the coroner and he said he
would come here today to perform an
autopsy.
DR.. Suydam arrived here about 3
O'Clock this afternoon to perform an
autopsy on the body of Turek. He
may also do so on the babys body.

STRIKERS AT VALENTINES HAVE RETURNED TO WORK:
NATIONAL CONCERN OFFERS MEN SOME CONCESSIONS

with the work we give him $135 a
day. My men, with the exception of
the two who are in Jail as leaders of
the rioting, all returned voluntarily
this morning and we don't expect any
further trouble
When asked if the employees of
the Valentine clay pits had returned
to work Mr. Valentine said that he
did not know, but thought it likely
as only the men in one of the r. N.
& H. Valentine clay pits stopped
work last week.
I'VE have larger force working
now than We usually have at the hol-
iday time" concluded Mr. Valentine,
and If the men had not returned
this morning We could have easily

Exaggerated Stories.
Most of the New York newspapers,
this morning, had exaggerated ac-
counts of the strike and in big head
lines told of fight between the
troops and strikers last night, in
which four men fell. One of these
New York "yellows' had extras here
shortly before II o'clock this morn
ing with a more vivid account of the
supposed battle.
The entire story is a fabrication.

HEARING OVER
JAIL WARDEN
Judge Booraem Reserves De-
cision in Matter of Free
holders Naming Rogers.
SHERIFF DISPUTES RIGHT
pecial to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, Nov. 27:-The hear
ing before Judge Booraem over the ap-
pointment of Jail warden was held
this morning. Sheriff Quaekenboss was
represented by Lawyer Peter F. DAILY.
The freeholders were not represented.
Mr.. DAILY had letters from many sec
ond class counties by which he showed
that nowhere else had the freeholders
interfered with the sheriff in his duties.
Judge Booraem took the letters and
said he would look them over and, after
considering the matter, he would give
his decision.
Shortly after the election the free
holders reappointed Charles s. Rogers
jail warden and made contract with
him to feed the prisoners, claiming they
had the right now that the sheriff was
placed under salary. Sheriff Quack-
enboss disputed this and the matter was
taken to the court.

Valentine, in conversation with a
NEWS reporter, this morning, said
that they have always treated the
employees fairly and that he has
learned that the trouble at the Ma
tional Fireproofing Company was
led by several of his employees, while
the trouble at his plant was melted
by some of the Nationals men. This.
he thinks, was done SO that the lead
ers of the strike would not be recog-
nized. Mr.. Valentine said further
that most of his employees are Poles
and Hungarians.
N"When we take on new man,
he continued, 1--WE give him $1.26 a
day, but as soon as he is acquainted

Officials of the company made the
following statement in regard to the
concession this afternoon:
1--WE have decided to offer the men
fourteen cents an hour and guaran-
tee them ten hours work per day If
they will return to work. This will
be the minimum rate, and is an in
crease of five cents over the old rate.
81 do not know If the men will ac-
cept ii or not. but this afternoon we
are having hand bills printed and
will circulate them am ong the men

ternoon to meet the timekeeper and
receive the particulars of the in
crease.
The sixty employees of the M. d.
Valentine & Brother Friedrich Com
pany, near Fords, returned to work
this morning at their former wages,
$1.35 a day. This voluntary move
ment upon the part of the strikers
indicates that the employees of the

Fired Over Mems Heads.
Colonel DUNCAN said that shortly
after IL o'clock last night one of the
sentries on the outpost saw five for
eigners walking from Smith street
towards the plant. The men, the
colonel says, were probably taking a
short cut home and did not know
that they were venturing too close.
The sentry told them twice to halt,
but evidently not understanding,
they did not obey, whereupon the

and the Cheek Meals of Nashville.
Mr.. Bassett says his attorneys adj

against Sunday ball playing for
amusement. A bill introduced in
the last legislature making it unlaw-
full was never reported from the
committee on Public Morals.
The city council recently passed

Movement Against Taft Is
Reaching Large Pro-
portions.
FORMIDABLE SPLIT
In Republican Party Grow
ing Out of Taft's IN
popularity.

Washington, Aug. 28.-The Rev.
j. Milton Waldron, president of the
National Negro American Political
League, is back from a trip to Re-
chester, N. Y, where he went to
consult prominent men of his race in
reference to opposing Judge Taft
for President and doing all in their
power to have the negroes cast their
votes outright for Mr.. Bryan.
DR.. Waldron says that in his trav-
els through New York he met many
well-tc-do and intelligent negroes
who formerly took leading parts in
Republican contests, but this year
they are freely and openly offering
their services to the Democrats, and
have been put to work to do all in
their power to induce their race to
support Mr.. Bryan.
while up North, "said the preach
er, II was told that a great many
negroes who had been soldiers, were
violently opposed to Taft and had
expressed their preference for Bry-
an.
Some of the negro newspapers
announced within the last month
that Bishop Henry Turner, of Geor-
gia, who is the first national vice
president of the league had decided
to support Taft. DR.. Walton de.
nounces that silly and malicious
statement, and he pulled from his
pocket a negro paper called the
Voice of the People," published at
Atlanta. The publication is month
ly, and that issue was for the coming
month of September, and was fresh
from the press. The leading edito-
rial was written by Bishop Turner
who is ranked as the ablest Bishop
in the negro church. Well, that ed
itorial is certainly an animated one.
The Bishop goes for the Republican
party without gloves, and from start
to finish lambasts Taft and Roose-
welt both. The bishop states that he
is for Bryan"

important Announcement of
Deal Made for Robertson
County Weed.
THE FIRST LOOSE SALE.
Special Arrangements Made
With the Agency of c. c.
Bell & Son.

The Springfield Herald is author.
ity for the statement that the I'm.
perial Tobacco Co., through its
Springfield, Tenn, agents, C. C. Bel
q Son, through a special arrange.
ment with the Planters Protective
Association, is to buy 100000
pounds or more of the best grades
OF Robertson county tobacco loose.
The article IS as follows:
we have it through positive in
formation that c. c. Bell & Son, the
well known representatives of the
Imperial Tobacco Company for this
section, will no longer buy their to-
bacco from the barns, but hereafter
will I'LL their orders through the
Planters Protective Association.
This news will be hailed with pleas.
ure not only in Robertson county.
but throughout tobacco circles over
the entire dark district.
c. c. Bell & Son is one of the old
est and most prominent firms and
the largest handlers of strips in the
dark tobacco belt. To fill their or
ders for the Imperial Tobacco Com
pany, of England, it requires a mil
lion or more pounds of the best
grades of tobacco produced here
each year.
By agreement and through special
arrangements with the Association,
Col. Bell is to receive his purchase
unprized, that being the only way
he can handle the tobacco for his
trade"
AS this announcement comes from
General Manager Ewing's home pa
per, it would seem to indicate a new
and very important change in the
rules of the Association in the fu-
ture. If the report is true, one of
the principal objections to the Asso.
cations plan of selling is to be re-
moved and sales will be made to suit
the demands of different lines of
trade. The Herald does not give
the price.

Square Covered BY Burned
Warehouse to BE Guilt
waited.
NOW REMOVING DEBRIS.
Mr.. Latham Buys the Cooper
Lot and Now Owns
Whole Square.

Mr.. John c. Latham, the New
York capitalist, whose warehouse
was burned by outlaws on the morn
ing of December 7th, has purchased
the warehouse lot Of w. T. Cooper
west of his own lot, upon which the
storage house of Woodbridge & Co.
stood and was also burned by the
spreading Of the flames. This lot
was between the Latham lot and the
Louisville & Nashville r. R. and the
two made full block. Mr.. Latham
now owns the entire square, con-
tanning little more than one acre.
His orders are to clean off the lot,
dig up the foundations of the burned
buildings and as a preliminary step
to turning it into a permanent grass
plat will have it sowed in wheat, to
make it green during the winter.
His further plan is understood to be
to convert the vacant lot into little
park fronting the depot of the Lou
isville & Nashville Railroad, similar
to the one east of Hotel Latham.
Thus it will stand as an enduring
monument to the fanatical warfare
made upon this great benefactor of
Hopkinsville by the masked maraud-
ers who engaged in a devils dance
around his burning property
while he was thousand miles away.
The destruction of Mr.. Latham's
property, man absolutely uncon-
nected in any way with the tobacco
troubles, except that once a week a
sale of loose tobacco was made in a
part of the big warehouse, rented to
local firm, was the most fiendish of
all the crimes committed by the
rioters who now want to "compro-
mise" their deeds of infamy to es-
cape prosecution.
The work of tearing down the
walls of the Cooper building and
removing the vast amount of wreck
age will take several weeks. Seven
were put to work this week
hauling off the debris left by the fire
and dynamite of the invaders.
