Dean Harry S. Richards of the
University OF Wisconsin college of

Judge Francis NJ. Danaher of AL.

point OF the experienced lawyer, re.
piled with scathing criticism OF mod.

that the incompetence of many cam

the course is appalling. II law cor.

years clerkship is essential to an ap-

NEW REVOLUTION
This Time IL is From the Deserts OF
Southwestern Arabia.


Rome. Aug. 25.-A semi-official note
says that the Madhist movement at
Yemen, southwestern Arabia, has TAX
en- on an acute revolutionary charac-
ter, the revolutionists indulging in
massacre and pillage. Turkish troops
are now marching to Hodeida, sea-
port on the Red sea. 1t is stated that
the governor has telegraphed 10 Con-
stantinople urgently requesting rein
forcements. Pending their arrival he
will ask for the assistance of the
British and Italian warships in the
Red sea. At the request of the under
secretary of the foreign Office, the
Italian minister of marine has dis
patched the gun boat Volturno from
Alden to protect Italian interests.

sequies. for the farmers we're enraged
over the reign OF lawlessness which
had predominated in tho county for
some time, and they believed the man
better OF dead than alive.
Only the grave digger and the VIII
lage minister saw the body lowered
to its last resting place.
When they returned to the village
from q task, which they almost con-
sidered In a light OF duty, the resi-
dents OF the place 1guratively heaved
g sigh Of relief and. forthwith forgot
the man and the incident.
That is most Of them forgot. but
Haines--and some one else did not.
That some one remembered 1t and
saw to 1t, whether Intentionally or un-
intentionally, that the postmaster did
likewise. Every night since, he or
she, has gone to the grave of the
slain robber and there placed a little
bouquet of simply country flowers.
The mystery Of the whole thing, its
weirdness and the suggestions which
1t arouses. has served to keen ever
present the whole ghastly business in
Hatnes' sensitive mind, and as a re-
suit physicians declare that unless his
mind is diverted he, will suffer q
complete breakdown.
Life Made Wretched.
The efforts OF his friends and fam
lily to arouse him from the melanchol-
Ia have been in vain, and the mana
life, 1t Is declared, continues to ba
made wretched and miserable by a
little bunch o: flowers.
AS a peculiar coincidence in this
connection 1t was found this morn.
Ing that the Gloucester county au.
thorities had had in their grasp the
two companions Of the slain robber
and had let them 60 without discov-
ering their identity until too late.
The men who were with Mellin on
the night he entered the postofflce
but escaped without capture are
thought to be Harry Conrad ana
Charles Winter. They were arrest
ed in Gloucester on Tuesday night
on suspicion Of being chicken thieves
but afterwards released.
A subsequent investigation of the
haunts of the mem resulted in the
discovery of lot Of loot, which was
taken from Haines' store on the night
of the robbery, showing that the men
were without a doubt, connected with
tho nights escapade.

Schoenville. Strikers and their fam
lilies crowded in the van of these fu-
neral trains. dressed in their finery
and bearing an air of deep grief. One
band of eight musicians furnished tho
tunes to which the strikers tramped
in the dust and CRIME to pay their re-
spects to the men they look upon as
martyrs to a now lost cause
The finding. late yesterday Of
three more bodies of terribly beaten
strike sympathizers was also horrify-
ing to its ghastliness, for the troop
ers detailed to the work of searching
for the dead and wounded made little
effort to spare the feelings of tho
men gathered about them, when the
bodies. two under pile OF railroad
ties and one under a culvert on tho
tracks Of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
railroad, were pulled into sight. The
corpses, hardly recognizable as those
OF human bodies, were hastily piled
into morgue wagon and turned over
to the county officials. With the buri-
al OF the dead strikers and the find
ing of additional bodies came a truce
in hosti es. From dawn to nightfall
not a pistol shot was heard, neither
was an arrest made.
Strikers and their sympathlzers
during the day kept to themselves
and even gave up mass meeting
planned for the late afternoon, as
they believed no gathering of work.
men could do any good at this time.
Eugene v. Debs, socialisuc orator,
was in McKees Rocks to address tho
strikers. but even he declared that
words were of little avail now. as tho
riots Of Sunday night had for once
and all placed the strikers in the po-
sition of outcasts, whose cause was
all but lost.
And on every hand last night it is
conceded that the strikers have lost
their fight. The Pressed Steel Car
company planto today was in opera

men at work. These men, while not
all skilled or finished workmen, turn
ed out three steel cars, which were
placed In view just outside the car
plant gates. In a measure President
Frank Hoffstot. Of the car company.
has made good his word given at the
inception of the labor trouble, that he
would never give in to the strikers if
he was ruined financially and hia
plant had to lay down for two years.
Sixty-six men were loaded into a
special car from the box car jails in
the car company's yard and brought
to Pittsburg in the afternoon, where
they were arraigned before the mag
istrate on charges of disorderly con-
duct and carrying concealed weapons.
The informations were sworn out by
state troopers. Menacled together in
chains of four, the men were later
transferred to the county Jail to await
court hearings.
At sundown last night began a
search for weapons by the state po-
lice, using search warrants issued by
a magistrate under the law passed
by the last legislature, making it il
legal for foreigners to have in their
possession, or in their homes, fire.
arms of any description. The law,
under which the troopers are search
ing, is so broad that men found with
guns in their homes may be arrested
on sight.

That he succeeded in getting them,
