TIE MURDER OF HSH.

Inasmuch as the United States gov.
eminent has laws prohibiting the pol.
luton of nayigable streams, the In,
telligencer trusts that Judge Dayton
win especially charge the next Fed,
eral grand jury to make thorough
investigation of the causes which led
to the killing of all the FISH in the
upper Ohio river.
According to one story an enormous
qaantity of acid was dumped into the
river. If this be true an abominable
crime has been committed. Men who
know fish and can gauge the extent
of the destruction say IT viii be many
years before the piscatoial population
of the Ohio can be restored to what
it was before this massacre occurred,
and perhaps the harm can never be
undone. For nearly 100 years the
fish have been killed, and the corrup-
ton arising from their decaying
bodies will undoubtedly decimate the
FISH in the lower waters besides being
fraught with grave dsngerto the peo-
pie living along the river.
The sudden pollution of water
supply justi6es the sternest condem-
nation. The state has a law which
forbids men from fishing at certain
seasons and on Sundays. Yet in a
few minutes one act has been com
mitted which destroyed more fish
than all the fishermen in the state
could if they had fshed continuously
from the time of their births. 1t
may be that an unavoidable accident
caused the damage. If SO manufac-
turers should be required to place
acid tanks so that in case of accident
the death-dealing fluid would hot
reach the streams. AT that, great
deal of preventable pollution is open
ly permitted by the authorities

PRISONER CAPTURED
BROKE JAIL ATPOINTPLEASANTW WHERE
He WAS HELD ONSERIOUS CHARGE

The capture here yesterday Of Tom
Asbury, a vicious ex-conSict who had
served time for the murder of a man
at Point Pleasant several years ago,
and who had been wanted for some
time by the Mason county authori-
ties for the cutting Of John Hardin
last December, was one more inter
esting incident in the history of local
affairs of the past week.
The capture of Asbury was effect
ed by Lieutenant of Police clingen
peel of the day force and Detective
Rupert Kayser, of Point Pleasant
who arrived here insearch of Asbury
Saturday morning. AS soon as the.
detective recited the facts of the
case to Lieut. clipgerpeel With 3
description of the man wanted, IT
was known that the local officer had
seen Asbury in the city. The officer
went at once to the East End andin
the house of two well known women
of that section of the city, found the
man engaged in coyersation.
He was unaware of the presence
of the deputy and Lieutenant until
they had walked into the room and
nabbed him. He was at once locked
up in the city Jail and will bere-
turned to Point Pleasant this morn
ing and re-incarcerated in the Ma
son county Jail to complete his term
for his latest crime.
Asbury was sentenced last Decem-
Der for the cutting, but when a big
jail delivery occurred there in Jan. :
escaped and Invent to Cincinnati where
he secured work. No attempt was
made to get him at the time. Re-
Gently his return to this section of
the country was learned and his cap
ture followed.-Huntington Herald
Dispatch, Sunday.

CARRY WINCHESTERS
Officers RRO AREDENIED PISTOL Ii.
CNE Arm THEMSELVES WITH
GUNS.

The action of some ofthe circuit
Judges of the state in refusing to
grant licenses to carry pistols has
been responsible for big boom i.
the Winchester trade, and many of
those who have been denied the le-
gal right to carry reyolvers now walk
about the earth under big winches-
ter repeaters.
Paying forces in the mining and
construction regions of the state now
carry winchesters whenever they go
on payday missions. The Fmrmont
Coal Co., which pays out immense
sums, sent along the usual guard last
Saturday, but it was guard which,
in appearance, differed materially
from any ever before sent out by that
company. Instead of being armed
with pistols the members of the
guard carried huge repeaters, and
save that they lacked khaki might
have been mistaken for detachment
from company of state militia.

One thing is certain-Oficials
throughout the southern part of the
state have made it plain that the
johnson pistol law will be enforced
in spirit and letter, and that the ex-
treme penalty will be inflicted wher-
ever there is a conviction.
One hundred dollars and six months
have been the twin punishment met
ed out for convictions in this county,
and in adjoining counties a similar
rule is being followed.

TARIFF BILL
PASSED LAST THURSDAY AND SIGNED
BYPRESDEM TAFT.

Washington, Aug. 5.-with the
tariff revised heextraordinary session
ofcongress was brought to a close
and both houses adjourned sine die
At SIX o'clock tonight.
The closing hours were attended
by scenes Of the most dninteresting
character.
President Taft signed the bill at
500 p. m.
Insofar as Congress can make it so
the Payne-AIdrich tariff bill today
became law and the Dingley law
to the same extent, went out of date.
The final congressional act was
consummated when at a few minutes
past two O'Clock today the Vice
President announced that by the de-
cisive vote of 47 to 81 the Senate
had adopted the conference report
on the measure, which accomplished
the final passage of the bill by the
Senate.
As the measare had already passed
the House, the Senates' action was
the finishing touch, and nothing
then was left to be done to make
the bill law, but for the president
to attach his name.
The presidents automobile stood
in front of the White House to speed
him to the capital to sign the tariff
act the moment he was notified that
it was ready for his action and at
5;o6 the president attached his name
to the stupendous document.
The bill received all the republican
votes except those of Bristow, clapp,
cummins, Boliver, LaFolette, Bey-
eridge and Nelson. The Senate
then took up the concurrent resolu-
tion reducing the rates in the leather
schedule.
The debate on the bill was closed
for the democrats by Senator Bailey
and for the republicans by Senator
Aldrich. The discussion today was
earnest.buts good natuped. The bill
had been before Congress since the
18th of March, when it was first
reported to the house and it had
been in the Senate since April leth.
As reported from conference the
measure covers +6e bill pages, ard
almost every article entering into
American commerce is affected by it.

.HOLD-UP ATTfNP!
PROVES MYSTERY

There was q mysterious attempt at

west OF The city, between Douglas and
the Copper Queen smelter. in which
two shots were fired, no one was in
jured and no attempt made to go
through or search the men who We're
stopped. What the cause of the hold
up was is as deep a mystery today as
| it was last night. One theory is that
| it was a trick upon three victims and
the other that the supposed hoId-up
man lost his nerve. 1t was the wrong
time of the month to get much from
the smeltermen and anyone but a
ner dropped his lunch box and put
stranger would have known this and
taken no such chances as the lone
bandit" took last night.
Messrs. Faulkner, Erskine and Cur
tiss were relieved from the three
O'Clock afternoon shift about eleven
last night and after changing cloth
ing in the locker room started for
their homes in this city As. they we're
crossing the flat Faulkner suddenly
noticed his two companions make a
quick dash toward home. Two pistol
shots rang out and all three men stop
ped with sudden willingness. Faux
both hands in his pockets and no or
der Of hands up was given.
The three homeward bound Doug
lasites waited for the bandit" to ap-
proach, which he did. He had a pis-
tol leveled toward them, had a white
handkerchief over the upper part of
his face for mask and wore dark
soft felt hat and black sweater. On
being asked what he wanted, he hesi-
tated and replied: Il guess you fell

them and walked away. The three
waited until he had gone a safe dis
lance and then paid him their vocal
compliments. after which they resum-
ed their journey toward supper and
bed.
