AMERICAN DANCERS
GIVEN FIRST PLACE
George Mahrer, Expert, Puts
French in the Second
Rank.

English people are tearing their hair
over an interview given by George
Mahrer, an Austrian, said to be the
finest dancer in the world, who has been
brought over TO London from Paris.
According to Mahrer the best dancers
in the world are. not the AUstrians. nor
the Germans, not even the English, but
the Americans. Along with people on
a select few Of the Parisians.
Vienna he says. sis the home of
the waltz, but my country people are
not, in my opinion, the best walters.
That distinction belongs TO the Amer
leans and The Parisians. The English
lift their feet too far off the ground,
dance too quickly and turn too rapidly. z"
Truth to tell the average Englishman
has a poor opinion of the American as
a dancer and loses no chance of ridicul-
ing such innovations as the ''half-gime"
and the glide. kansas City Star.

The walking length skirt, either with

loose fitting, with plain coat sleeves
and severely tailored mannish collar

ROSE-RUCHE BACK
IN STYLE AGAIN
Trimming Popular twenty-five
Years Ago Now Has Sane
ton of Paris.

Some Of us remember as far back
as twenty-five years ago when rose
ruche' trimming was used on Goth and
silk gowns. This trimming was made
Of silk, raveled out two inches 81 the
edge and double box pleated in ruche
fashion. 1t was used to edge sleeves,
overskirts and the fronts OF bodices.
Now the rose-ruche is back under
splendid auspices. for il is introduced
by famous Paris dressmaker-and
back it comes on an oio-tIne polonaise
at that.
This straight gown is trimmed at
sleeve edge. around the neck and at
the lower edge with silk ruche trimming
frayed out in the old style fashion and
there is no other trimming on the gown
except the long row Of buttons from
neck to hem.

COLLAR
HOLDING ITS OWN

The Puritan collar. so much in evil
dence during the summer. is still
holding its own. Perhaps no preTtfer
form Of it has been seen than the
Irish lace ones.
There are also many who appear on
the street with them on the coolest
winter day. While their hands are in
the depths Of enormous mufss, their
threats are left entirely exposed.
this habit is quite out OF place, for
no one can be comfortable under such
conditions, and the old adage should
be remembered, that anything that is
not comfortable is not in good taste

SOMERSET, KY, Since
the trouble between the miners at
Stearns and the United States Mar

attention has been attracted to this

Stearns is thirty miles south of
Somerset, in Whitley county, just
over the Pulaski county line, and is
in the very wild portion of the Ken

LAWYERS CLASH IN
NIGHT Rider TRIAL
Threat Of jail Sentence Restores
Order in Court.

Union City, Tenn, Jan. IA half
dozen character witnesses, summoned
on behalf of the eight alleged night
riders now on trial, were suddenly
transformed into witnesses or the
state to the great surprise and cha
grin of the defendants attorneys.
These witnesses included Rev. John
r. Williams, Justice of the Peace
Stephen Fields and five others. Each
declared that Garrett Johnson bore a
good reputation and that Frank Fehr-
finger, the confessor, was a man of
bad reputation.
The attorney general startled the
crowd by asking Justice Fields If he
were not only sympathizer of night
riding, but an actual member OF the
band
The squire denied the allegation
with some vigor. This led to heat
ed argument between Attorney Gen
eral Caldwell and Attorney Pierce of
the defense, in which Pierce pointed
iy declared that he proposed ito hold
the attorney general responsible in
court and out of court for indignities,
6iscourtesies and insults" whereto
the lank attorney general opined that
he was willing to be held responsible
by Mr.. Pierce, either in court or out
OF it, The court then Joined in the
repartee to the effect that unless the
chickering's ceased the counsel table
on both sides would be short several
lawyers and a few distinguished
members would find themselves the
enforced guests of the sheriff. Both
men then disclaimed any save pacific
intentions, and declared their indy
fng respect and affection for each
other. Thus the incident closed.

wife, Mrs Virginia 2. Hams, parents
OF Thornton ]. Hams, now being tried
before Justice Crane as a principal in
the Staying of William E. Annis, were
witnesses in their sons behalf, and
their testimony brought out in full
detail the relationship of Mrs. Clau-
dia Hams and William E. Annis that
caused the enlargement of Captain
Hams and his wife.
General Hams declared that in his
presence and before his two sons,
Peter and Thornton Hams, the cap
fain's wife. Claudia Hams, made
full confession of her misconduct,
and subsequently Captain Hams man.
ifested such poignant grief from the
disclosures that his mental condition
became affected. The confession,
which General Hams declared his
sons wife, Claudia, had signed on the
day following Captain Hams return
from the west, was read to the jury.
General Hams made a strong witness
for his son, and counsel for the de-
Tense asserted that the evidence was
now conclusive that Captain Hams
was mentally unbalanced when he
shot William E. Annis, and that his
act was one of his sole doing.
Through Mrs. General Hams, who
wept many times during her story,
the defense drew out facts that Cap
tain Hams in his early life evidenced
physical weakness, which, counsel
will endeavor to prove through three
experts, was a predisposing cause to
insanity. General Hams was per-
mitted to say that his father died
from insanity.
1t is expected that Thornton j.
Hams will take the stand Monday to
testify in his own behalf.

All of the miners huts, employees of
the big sawmill, and their boarding
houses, set apart from the hotel and
residences of the people who are in
terested as owners, officials, book
keepers, clerks and stenOgraphers.
Railroads Built Into Forests.
Several miles of railroads have
been built by the Stearns company
right into the dark and almost mac
cessible mountain region; numerous
mines have been opened up and the
latest electrical mining appliances in
stalled; an electrical plant supplies
the mining power, lights for the
pathways, streets and houses, and
drives the big mills-the biggest in
the South-the electric plant, as well
as everything else there, being owned
by the elder Stearns, his son and a
few others. From the very outset
this company has absolutely refused
to employ union labor, and would not
give employment to any man who was
a member of labor union of any
kind. Two years ago serious trouble
was narrowly averted because an at
tempt was made to unionize the min
ers there. The second attempt is
what led up to the present trOubel.
Miners Are M0untaineerS.
Nearly all of the miners engaged
at the Stearns mines are natives of
this mountain section. They can
not understand how their belonging
to a union would in any way injure
the business of the company. Pos
sessing that natural antipathy for
United States officers, they resent
any Federal interference.
Led Up TO Trouble.
Deputy Marshall George Massin-
gale, of this place, served the first
injunction papers on the miners men,
and because of the fact that he was
unable to get a good many of them
application was made by the Stearns
company for a posse of United Stat
es Marshals. This was complied
with, and their arrival on the scene
brought on the killing of Marshal
Mullins, of Richmond, and the
wounding of Waddle and Ryan, Of
this place, and the burning of the no
tel operated by Berry Simpson, the
leader Of the miners who are defying
the law.
