provides that the municipal officers of
every town where there is free public
library shall on or before the first day
of May annually certify to the Cover
nor and Council as to the amount raised

brary in such town or city, the usual
blanks have been forwarded by tire

are some delinquents of course, but
for the most part the returns have been
very satisfactory 1t is evident from
the examination of the certificates re-
turned that the different towns and
cities are gradually increasing the
amount Of their appropriations, which.
indicates that the free public library
has become recognized as an important
factor along educational lines. and one
which will receive the support of the
people in communities where they are
established.

MYSTERIOUS WOMAN IN WHITE

A woman, devoid of all wearing
apparel. save her night robe to shield
her against the winter cold. made
her appearance at the home Of a well
known business man in the city at 3
O'Clock this morning. who resides in
the Fort ground section and appeal
ed for shelter and protection.
The woman may have been ment-
ally deranged. or was fleeing to
avoid trouble of some sort. The busi-
ness man above referred to was
aroused by a Tapping on the front
door and Immediately proceeded TO
ascertain the cause of it. When he
arrived in the front room of the
house he peered through the window.
and observed a woman seated on the
railing OF the porch in a crouched po-
sidon. as though she were seeking
TO shelter her bare limbs with her
night robe from the cold. He inter
rogated her as to her mission and
identity and she gave her name as
Lewis. She stated she was devoid OF
clothing and freezing. that she was

that have aroused the suspicious of

soNs-rN-LAw IN TROUBLE
Preacher Delivered His Sermon to
Men With Ladies Present.

CARTERSvILLE. Ca. Feb. 10
Two sOns-in-law of the late Sam
Jones. the famous Georgia evangelist,
are now in the limelight and their
troubles will soon be aired in the
Georgia courts. One of them, the
Rev. Walt Holcombe. known through
out the country as a co-worker with
his famous mother-in-law. has been
indicted on charge of using obscene
language before ladies. The other,
B. c. Sloan, has appealed to the state
supreme court in attempt to secure
possession of his little son, now in
the custody Of Mrs. Sam Jones, Wild
ow Of the great evangelist.
The Holeombe case continues to
be a subject OF interest here and the
town is divided into warning factions,
portion of the people unfolding
the evangelist and others denouncing
him In violent terms.
The charge against Holcombe grew
out of a for men only" sermon. At
the first tabernacle meeting held here
last September ON the last Sabbath
afternoon of the meeting about FIVE
thousand people had gathered to
hear Rev. French Oliver, OF Chicago,
preach a sermon to men only. This
special service had been announced
daily for a week, but on account of
thousands of visitors being in the
city in attendance at this meeting
Sunday, quite a large lumber of
people were not familiar with the
program for this special service. Con-
sequently in the audience were quite
a large number of ladies.
Despite the fact that 1t was rain
ing hard Mr.. Holcombe. 1t is claimed,
endeavored to have the ladies leave
the building, so the special sermon
for men could proceed. On account
of the heavy rain. however. they
were slow to leave the building, when
it is charged that Mr. HOlcombe used
language publicly that should not be
used in the presence of ladies.
The AFFAIR created quite a stir at
the time and the indictment Is the
result.

FORAKER MEN DIDN'T VOTE
His Version Of the Primary Flee
ton In Ohio.

WASHINGTON. Feb. I3.-Senat-
or j. B. Foraker gave out a state
ment as TO the result OF the primary
elections in Ohio Tuesday. when the
Taft forces made a practically clean
sweep In the selection OF delegates
to the republican state convention.
In his statement Senator Foraker
says:
Nobody should be either sur
pFised or mIsled by the result OF the
primaries held in Ohio yesterday.
II has been common knowledge for
weeks that the call for these primar-
les was Of such character that my
friends throughout the state refused
to participate. Consequently there
was no opposition to the selection of
Taft delegates. Under such circum-
stances he would. Of course. carry ev-
erything.
That the result OF the primaries
does not indicate anything conclu-
siye should be manifested from the
fact that the total vote polled will
not represent more than 10 per cent
of the republicans In Ohio. There
were only two districts in which
there was any approach to a contest
and these contests were due to the
fact that there were opposing candi-
dates in each district for the nomin-
alton to congress.
I'm the Sixth district the Taft can
didate was defeated by 1925. while
in the Fifteenth district Mr.. Dawes.
the Taft leader and candidate for re-
nomination. is possibly beaten. ac-
cording to the latest advices | have
received. II there had been a pri-
mary in which we could have parti-
cipated. similar results would have
been possible II not probable. all
over the state
Referring to the state conven-
ton, ii should be borne In mlld that
1t will be composed of only one
faction Of the party. Not because
the people have 50 decided. but be-
cause the course of the Taft man
agement was such as to bar every.
body else out from participation.

MANSLAUGHTER
IN JURAS CASE
Strong Evidence of Self Defense
Influenced Jury

The case OF the state OF idaho VI.
Joe Juras was on trial In the district
court yesterday. The case went to
the jury late in the afternoon and
at late hour last night the jury.
after much elaboration. brought in
verdict Of manslaughter against the
defendant.
The states contention in this case
and its evidence In support thereof
was in brief, that the defendant. Joe
Juras had, during a drunken brawl.
the scene Of which was the Juras
home. become engaged in an alter
cation with Steve Pastors. the muir
dered man. and had gone into the
kitchen, secured therefrom a large
butcher knife. and without provoca-
ton, inflicted a fatal wound in the
side OF Pastors. The state contend
ed that the blow was delivered by
Juras while Pastors back was turned
to the defendant. and he inclined
over the bed OF the defendants wife
conversing with her. This fatal
blow the state contended. was delIv-
cred by the defendant while In the
sleeping apartments OF the Juras
home. This in brief was the theory
OF the state and it's evidence in part
supported 1t.
The defense. on the other hand.
eontended that the blow was not de-
iivered by the defendant while in the
sleeping apartments o. the Juras
home. but in the kitchen. and that
the defendant had abandoned the
struggle and conflict which had TAX
en- place in the sleeping apartments
before he killed Pastors in the kitch-
en-. They admitted that Juras had
secured the knife from the kitchen.
that he had flOurished Il at Pastors
In the sleeping apartments. and
brought evidence TO show that Jur-
as had at this time gone no farther
than to make a few threats. and
probably infiiet a few minor wounds.
They contended. and placed upon the
stand expert evidence by physicians
to show that. had the fatal wound
been delivered In the sleeping apart
ments. large flow OF blood would
Immediately have gushed forth from
the wound. and that blood would
have been found in the room. which
vas not so. Much blood was found
in the kitchen. and here me defend
ant testified was the place where he
delivered the wound that brought
about the death of Pastors. Juras
| defense was that after the conflict
in the sleeping apartments he had
ceased the struggle in good faith and
returned to the kitchen; that while
there Pastors came I'm. grasped him
BY the throat and choking him. and
believeing his life to be in eminent
danger. he inflicted the mortal
wound in self defense
