Medina, O., March Guy Rasor

murder of his sweetheart, Orie Lee,
October 8. The penalty is from one 10
20 years in the penitentiary.
When the clerk read the pronounce

arms, and he wept. Rasor was re-
manded to Jail pending a motion for
a new trial, and had to be RelpeS out
of the court room, his sisters trying

were friends from childhood and were
engaged to be married. The wedding
had been postponed several times.
When Miss Lees body was found

it was discovered that she was In a

The inaugural oath was admins

lowing the brilliant and impressive
ceremonies, during which both the
president and vice-president took the
oath of office, President Roosevelt,
again a private citizen, babe an af-
fectiOnate adieu to his successor,
while all in the historic chamber
looked On in silence, and then hurried
away through a side door to take the
train for Oyster Bay. AS he passed
out of the chamber, Mr.. Roosevelt
was given an ovation. A great parade
in the afternoon, the sun now shining,
and a brilliant ball ait night concluded
the ceremonies. Tens of thousands of
visitors thronged the city. While the
ball was in progress indoors, display
of fireworks on the monument lot in
the rear of the white house, marked
the end of the outdoor celebration.
Prior to his visit to the ball room,
President Taft had entertained at
tea in the white house the members of
the Yale club; had dined with Mrs.
Taft at Z o'clock and had stopped in
at the Metropolitan club, to say few
words at the dinner of the class OF
'78 at Yale.

FAR REACHING
TRAFFIC DEAL
HARTMAN LINES SAID TO BE
FLIRTING WITH THE
WABASH.

Chicago, March IA Chicago daily
paper prints the following:
Negotiations are in progress which
will, it is thought, eventually land for
Edward H Harrimans Union Pacific
lines west of Kansas City, the greatest
traffic coup in its history. 1t is IN
derstood that, beginning early in May.
there will be an interchange of traffic
agreement between the Wabash and
the Union Pacific at Kansas City,
which will be of immense value to
each system. The details of the tenta-
tive agreement have not received the
sanction of Hartman or Of George J.
Gould, but It is known that its pur-
pose is to interchange traffic well nigh
TO the exclusion of all other connec-
tions. The pending agreement may,
in a measure, explain why Mr.. Harri-
man was so ready to throw $2,OO0,OOG
into the syndicate which loaned Gould
5000, 900 TO save some of his roads
from bankruptcy.

Injured Employees.
The president said he was strongly
convinced that the government should
make itself as responsible to EN-,
ployes injured in its employ as an
interstate railway corporation is made
responsible by federal law to its EN-
ployes: and he will be glad whenever
any additional reasonable safety de-
vice can be invented to reduce the loss
of life and limb among railway en-
ployes, to urge congress to require its
adoption by interstate railways.
Injuncttons.
Another labor question has arisen
which has awakened the most excited
discussion. That is in respect to the
power of the federal courts to issue
injunctiOns in Industrial disputes.
las to that declared President Taft,
my convictions are fixed. Take away
from courts, if it could be taken away,
the power to issue injunctions in la
Dor disputes, and it would create a
privileged class among the labOrers
and save the lawless among their
number from a most needful remedy
available to all men for the protection
of their business against Iawless in
vasion. The proposition that business
is not a property or pecuniary right
which can be protected by equitable
injunction is utterly without founda-
ton in precedent or reason The
proposition is usually linked with one
to make the secondary boycott law.

THE issuing of a temporary re-
order without notice has in
several instances been abused by it's
incOnsiderate exercise. and to remedy
this, the platform upon which | was

Currency, Postal Savings.

The president said that one of the
reforms to be carried out during the
incoming administration is a change
of our monetary and banking laws,
so as to secure greater elasticity in
the forms of currency available for
trade, and to prevent the limitations
of law from operating to increase the
embarrassments of a financial panic.
He declared that congress should
promptly fulfill the promise of the re-
publican platform and pass a proper

Having assured to other countries

federal government, the duty of per-
forming our International obligations
in this respect. By proper Iegisla-
ton we may and ought to place in
the hands of the federal executive the
means of enforcing the treaty rights
of such aliens in the courts of the

government in a pusilanimous posi-

protect aliens and then to excuse the
failure to perform those engagements
by an explanation that the duty to

cannot permit the possible failure of

The president said he looked for

and the other sections of the country.
His chief purpose is not to effect a
change in the electoral vote of the
southern states That is a secondary
consideration. What he looks for

of political views of all kinds and
their advocacy throughout the south,
and the existence of a respectable po-

more than this, to an increased feel

the danger OF the control of an ig-

this change, the interest which many

base their hope on the results

comfort and sympathy which they
may receive from their white neigh

when nOrtherners who sympathiZed

give to him the suffrage as a protec-

against the prevailing sentiment of the
south. The movement proved to be
a failure The president feels that
education is fast solving the negro
problem. He doubts whether, in the
case of any race, an appointment of
one of their number to a local office
in a community in which the race
feeling is so widespread and acute as
to interfere with the ease and facility
with which the local government bust

of sufficient benefit by way of en-
enlargement to the race to outweigh
the recurrence and increase of race
feeling which such an appointment is
likely to engender. Therefore, the

Panama Canal.

Recent suggestion that something
had occurred on the isthmus to make
the lock type of the canal less feas-
ibIe than it was supposed TO be when
the reports were made and the policy
determined ON, led to a visit to the
isthmus on board of competent en-
gfneers to examine the Gatum dam
and locks which are the key to the
lock type The report of that board
shows that nothing has occurred in
the nature of newly revealed evidence
which should change the views once
formed in the original discussion
The construction will go on under
a most effective organization con
troiled by Colonel GOethals and
his fellow army engineers associated
with him, and will certainly be COM
p,eted early in the next administra-

Yvette Gulibert's Art.

William Armstrong in Ainslee's.
 Quiet Yvette Guilbert. That Is the im- pression, away from the stage, that she conveys today. Fifteen years ago, her tawny hair, the sudden wicked upward in its angular sweep than any rounded one; today, a deepened, mellowed mind, one that has lived so diligently among the poetry of France that 1t has absorbed a charm as subtle as the perfume which clings to hands working lingeringly among roses.
 For the stage she keeps still all the old characteristic traits in her impressionistio pictures. and to them she has added. and doubtless will add. new resources; for her art is very live one. But I was scarcely prepared for that other change, away from the border lights, that had come over her.
 On my way to call on her that afternoon in London, there had come through the dismal wall of mist and rain group of recollections of the times I had talked with her 15 years back; of an introduce tion aboard 8 train sweeping up through Indiana on it's way to Chicago; of an in- terview at the Auditorium hotel there, and a concert that I had been supposed to critictse and almost forgot, because she was so much more interesting than any orchestra; of a pair of long black gloves of the kind she used to wear, and that I very much wanted and received, brought reluctantly by a maid French and thrifty; of csricature that she drew of herself. writing underneath: This Is Yvette Galilbert when she is handsome, which Is se1dom''
 If one, in a London downpour, can sum up vividly such impressions after 15 years 1t must surely have been charming wo- man to inspire them. And I hastened to unburden any mind to that effect quite shamelessly, in the presence of her hus- band, who agreed with a prompt alacrity that showed him to have been thinking the same thing for a very long time.
 She said only, with her unsparing frank ness: 'Fifteen years mean nothing to man. but they are a terrible thing to woman"

Aoainst the Amendment.

w. s. Emmal, one of the best known citizens of Ensey, who Is now occupying a position with the Southern Iron and Steel company at Gadsden, spent the weekend in Ensley with his family. MT. Emmal when asked as to conditions in Gadsden said:
 'The attempted enforcement of certain blue laws in the city and the agitation for the constitutional amendment are working against the industrial advance ment of the city. Desirable labor is hard to obtain, or, more properly speaking, is hard to retain, as men ordinarily prefer a place where they can enjoy a little recreation.
 'It seems to be the policy of certain selfish officeseekers to curtail the personal privileges of the working classes. and everybody knows that All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
 So far as the amendment is concerned the sentiment where I am located Is strongly against 1t and I am certain 1t will be overwhelmingly defeated. I know at least 20 men, former residents of Ems ley, who still retain their citizenship here, who intend to lose days work and pay their railway fare to come to Ensley and vote against the amendment, and these are men who, by their brain and brawn, have helped to develop the splen- did resources of the south"
