Hearing of Governments Suit Against
 COaI Roads.


 New York. Dec. s.-Despite the large profits which, he said, the company had almost uniformly made every year since it's organization, Vice-Prestdent Archbold Law of the Temple Iron Company. testifying in the Govern ment's suit against the coal roads, to- dav declared that the coal business was a hazardous one.
 The relations between the company and the roads interested in it, the Reading. the Lackawanna, the Susque- hanna and Western, and the Erie, were brought out in Mir. Laws description of the dfficulties of the Temple Com many during the coal strike. The three years preceding 1902 had been a particularly trying period for the Temple Company, he said. There were two strikes, one of the big ones dur ing this period and the general depres- sion in the coal business forced the coal companies to call on the guaran- teeing companies for help. As a re- suit, the roads put up about S4S0000.
 "Did the officials of the roads make any demand for the return of this money7"
 "They certainly did" replied MT. Law. "President Thomas of the Le- high Valley, MT. Underwood of the Erie and President Truesdale of the Iackawanna, all tried to get back the money paid over by their roads. But President Baer of the Reading. chair man of the Temple Company's directo- rate. put them off. He told them the surnlus could be used to better advants ge in taking up the Temple bonds."
 The hearing was adjourned until next Tuesday morning.

 |. Immediately after the dropping of Mir. Fiske from the association, David Belasco sent in his resignation. Ben- jamin Roeder also resigned. The charges were ~the result of the rival production of "The Devir' in the Be- iasco and the Garden Theatre on Au- gust 19 last. MT.

Trinidad.

Both had been shot. Apparently Martinez murdered the girl and then committed suicide.
 A posse located Martinez and the girl Sunday night in Lonesome cam yon and a guard was established over the place. Finding escape cut od. Martinez killed his companion whom. undoubtedly he had abdueteds after murdering her parents. and then blew out his own brains.
 Martinez had no horses and had forced the girl to walk with him to the place where they were found

SLUM WORK SLATED
CAPT. ODOM ADDS NEW DEPART
 MENT TO ARMY.
Women VIII Visit Poor And Outcasts To Give Aid And Comfort Tn Every Househ0ld--Janu-
 ary 1 Begins.

Among the many branches of the Salvation Army work possibly there Is none so affective as that of the slum work which Captain 1Odom is planning to start the first of next month in Montgomery
 The slum work done by the Salvation Army has never been taken up in the South yet, but is very common in and through the larger cities of the north having been operated for several years. This branch of~the army work is carried on by women altogether and consists of practical religion and com mon sense.
 The duty of these women. who are often called "Sium Angels" is to visit in every part of the city where they may likely do the most good. They visit the home of the outcast where they have one. the poverty stricken home. the home of the sick and dis tressed, the widows and orphans and many times homes that are mired in filth. anI grime- The weapon these ladies carry is a scrub bucket. brush and soap. and when they enter home and find the mother sick they wash and dress the children, scrub the floor and prepare food, and many times it falls the lot of these workers to fur nish clothing before the children can be clothed, and often have to furnish food before the same can be prepared.
 After this has been done the child ren are called around the mother or father as the case may be and scripture is read and prayer is offered. In bad cases of sickness these sisters nurse the patient until they are out of danger without price or cost
 Where the territory is not too large, weekly visits are regularly made by these workers. and the example taught by them educates the most obstinate cases to cleanliness and self-respect. Captain odom thinks that thls new branch of work will prove a great blessing to Montgomery. It might be said that they have not the slum dis tricts to contend with in Montgomery. yet there are other conditions that bring about a demand for the estab- lishment of this branch of work. 1t Is | thought.
 | The post that Is to be opened in Montgomery immediately after the Christmas holidays, will consist of two 1 ladies who are experienced in the work that they will be expected to do., They will make their home at the army headquarters on whitman Street, and will visit from early morn to even | ling tide every day in the week. And where they find mothers behind with their work on account of sickness or having to work out they will help them by scrubbing the floors, washing their clothing, ironing, washing and dress ing the children. preparing food. or anything else that may pertain to home affairs.
 These officers will visit the sick and wait on them and nurse them where tt is necessary and where they are not able to hire a nurse. Where mothers and children are not able to go to Sunday School and church these work CTS will supply them with necessary shoes and clothing and make It pos sible in every way for them to go. These ladies will never be seen out

tcens,nsea from Page ose.l

Lieutenant Clark. who had come Into the street unarmed, was shot in the eye. and Patrolman Mullan was shot in the back and hurried into the police station for achievements.
 In the meantime. a riot call had been sounded and policemen were appearing from all directions. Thoroughly arous- ed, the officers closed in on Sharp and his followers, firing as they went, but taking great care not to tnjure any of the children. When the firing ceased Adam God" lay fatally wounded, shot through the head and body.
 During the firing. there was a great scattering of the spectators and when the battle was over, the police and their antagonists had the block entire ly to themselves. The seriously in jured were taken to the hospitals and then the police began to clear the streets of all street preachers. It is said that the trouble today marks the end of religious exortations on the streets of Kansas City.

 It was later learned that Sharp's male companion was Louis Pratt father of the five children. Pratt was arrested, uninjured. The woman and the children fled to a house boat in which they lived on the Missouri Riv- CT. Fifty policemen followed them and found that the woman had barricaded herself in tho houseboat Standing on the boat with a shot gun. she shouted to the officers, 'Come on. you hends. :"
 The boat was only a few feet from the bank of the river, and several of- ficers dashed toward It. The woman dropped her weapon and selzinR two of the children, sprang into a boat and began to row into the middle of the rivei. The officers called to herr to stop. but she only piled the oars more vigorously. The policemen fired voi- ley at the boat. One shot struck Lola Pratt, tearing away the greater part of the chid's face. She cannot live. 1t Is said.
 The woman then surrendered. At the police station she said that she was Mrs. Pratt, wife of the companion of Adam God'' and mother of the wounded child.
 Lola Pratt died tonight Sergeant Clark is reported to be at the point of death, while Patrolman Mullane may not live until morning.

vlsiting without their scrub buckets. brushes and soap. as this factor Is found very necessary in the line of work carried on by them.
 Captain Odom feels that there is a great work in Montgomery to be ac- complished by this class of workers. The only compensation that the ladies will receive is a salary of s2.50 per week and their board. A small salary Is paid for fear some may enlist for the loaves and fishes. This work ac- cording to Captain 0dom is to be done simply for the love of fallen humanity.
