CORONER TO INVESTIGATE
RECENT DEATH IN MINES

II cannot understand" said Coroner B.
L. Brasher last night, why the proper
authorities did not notify me of the death
of Joe Hinson the Italian who was killed
in Pratt mines by electrocution several
days ago, and certainly no one had any
right to inter the body before I had time
to hold an inquest 1 shall go into an in
vestigation of the matter tomorrow (Mon-
day. morning, and unless the matter can
be satisfactorily explained I intend to
push it to the very finish.
1.-THE first 1 heard of Hinsons death
was when inquiry was made of me Satur-
day night as to the date of an investga-
ton of the case, and the matter of the
removal and interment of the body of
the Italian was point blank violation
of the law and fine of not less than $50
nor more than $500 is the penalty for the

WEST END TRYING
TO STOP CEMETERY
ARGUMENTS SEEKING TO DIS
SOLVE INJUNCTION AGAINST
CITY WILL BE MADE BEFORE
JUDGE SHARPE THIS MORNING.

Tomorrow morning John B. Weakley
argue, a motion to dissolve the injunc-
ton granted on July 1 by City Court
Judge C. c. Nesmith, which prevents the
municipal authorities from interfering
with the Afro-American Cemetery COM
pany in the burial of the dead in the
new graveyard, just outside the corporate
limits of West End.
The motion will come up before Judge
H. A. Sharpe and it Is understood that
the very strongest kind of fight will
be made for a dismissal of the injunc-
ton. 1t is also understood that If the
West End authorities do not succeed in
effecting dissolution of the injunction
the case will be carried to the supreme
court. At the last meeting of the West
End city council the city attorney was
instructed to proceed with the fight to
the last resort.
The fight against the establishment of
the cemetery was brought into the courts
when the management attempted to bury
the body of Felix ferris. a negro, on
June %. The employees of the company
were arrested while digging the grave.
On July /, however, the temporary re-
straining order was secured by the COM
pany in the courts and the burial of Ter
ris' body proceeded. If the injunction
is dissolved and the negro cemetery COM
pany does not appeal, it is likely that the
remains of the negro will have to be
disinterred and buried elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Gustavus !. Griffith and
Wesley Parke, two grave diggers, are
under bond for violation of two ordinances
passed by the West End council. which
forbid the establishment of cemeteries
after January 1, 1909, and regulating the
burial of the dead within the police juris-
diction Of the municipality, which the
West End authorities claim extends to
the cemetery in question.

violation.
Il have been told that no one on the
outside knows of the real manner of
handling the convicts in the mines. 1t is
a matter that should be carefully watched
because 1t is bad enough for men to
have to go into the mines without their
being mistreated. The manner in which
the Italians body was hurried off to its
grave is a bit unnatural, and I intend
to go to the bottom of the affair.
IT am going to Pratt City in the MORN
ing, and If L find 1t necessary I shall
disinter the body of Hinson to complete
my investigation. I tried to secure the
facts in the case this afternoon, but had
only begun talking to some one at the
mines when the telephone connection was
broken and 1 was unable to get the mines
again."

The Evening Service.

At the service held last evening at
o'clock Dr. Plunket preached an equally
impressive sermon. The subject of his
sermon was "The Souls Thirst for God"
The text chosen was from Psalm AZ,
first and second verses, las the heart
panteth after the water brooks. SO pant
eth my soul after Thee, o God. My
soul thirsteth for God, for the living
God" The sermon dealt with the I'M
quenchable desire of the soul Of man to
seek God, and Of the great influence ex-
erted over the lives of men by this de-
sire.

Constantinople, JulyN1S.-The report Of

hard labor for life $4,000 deserve minor
sentences. If 1t is decided to proceed
with the punishment we will Gordon the

AVENUE PLAYERS
In BIG SUCCESS
Miss Pitt Establishes Herself
as Fine Emotional Actress
in Sowing the Wind

With a brilliancy that eclipsed all
their previous work Of the past six
weeks the Conness and Edwards
stock players presented a most delight
full Interpretation of Sydney Grundy's
comedy drama, Sowing the Wind"
at the Avenue Theatre last night. The
story Of the drama is intensely human.
and breathes of love, hope and sacri-
fice The audience was large and
attended every action of the play with
keen interest, manifested plainly in re-
peated curtain calls.
Miss Margaret Pitts "Rosamond"
brought her squarely to the front as
an emotional actress. In her intrepre-
tation OF Ned Annesley's bethrothed.
and particularly during her interview
with old Mr.. Brabazon IN the third
act. she exhibited great power Her
conception OF "Rosamond" was by far
the most brilliant feature OF the even-
ing, and her execution OF the part set
a standard for emotional acting that
had not previously been recognized in
the company. Her success as Rosa
mond" is easily the sensation OF tho
Avenue season.
Charles F. Miller managed the diff
ficult part OF old Mr.. Brabazon,
widower and father, with dignity and
credit. He is popular In any role.
Marc MacDermott clearly demon
strated his versatility as the crusty
old Mr.. Watkins. loyal friend Of Bra
bacon, and self-appointed guardian of
tho Brabazon family. MacDermott ia
an artist In the details of make up
and smaller points of stage action.
Edwin Burke. who gave Avenue
Theatre audiences just a glimpse of
his acting In "The Heir to the
Hoorah." fully Justified tho earlier
views OF his ability by his work last
night az "Ned Annesley." He is an
ardent lover, has a good stage presence
and was excellent as a wild. impulsive
youth. Mr.. Hockey. as the horsey

ably better than In any Of his previous
parts. Miss Mabel Strickland appear.
