Two Confessions Made by Alleged Train

Wytheville. Va, Jan. 19.-The trial
of Wesley Grubb for attempted wreck
of N. & w. train No. AZ on the night of
December 18th. which was commenced
Saturday, was concluded today, the
jury finding the accused mot guilty"
The verdict seems just one, the only
evidence being the confession of the &C
cused, who is so weak-minded that he
borders on idiocy. When arrested he
was taken to Roanoke by Baldwin's
agents and confession obtained, which
confession was repeated to the justice
and Commonwealth's attorney here in
the presence of the detectives, and
again to the sheriff after he was COM
mitted. The court excluded the con-
fession made in Roanoke and also that
made to the justice in the detectives 8
presence, but admitted the one made to
the sheriff.

In these days when inventors are
placing before the public invention ar

make up ones mind which is the best.
Years ago when houses were lighted
with tallow dips they were considered
decidedly better than the pine torch
used before they were invented. and so
1t has been with each new form of
light
The dip had its advantage over all ar
tificial light, before or since. and. as
from time to time new lights have come

However, we needed more light and

having some disadvantages and each
one giving more light than the preced-

When electricity came into use it was
thought that at last we had an ideal
light, and for time there was no ad-
vance in the lighting line, but time
proved that the yellow light emitted bv
kerosene and the other lights was hav-
ing disastrous effect on the users ewes.
This created a demand for white light
and accetylene proved to be much bet

of the light. What was it to be? The

cities where there was gas. but that

while the mantle was acknowledged the
best light for home use it could only be

There must be an answer to this propo

WHOLESALE FRAUD ALLEGED.
Gigantic Steal Of Public Lands Has Been
Discovered.

Washington, Jan. 18th. Information
of startling character of wholesale
and astounding frauds upon the public
lands has come into the possession of
Secretary of Interior Garfield through
special agents in the field. The serious
allegation is made that approximately
$11O, 900, 900 worth of lands in States,
principally west of the Mississippi river,
have been fraudulently acquired within
the past two years by corporations and
individuals.
With view Of recovering these lands
Secretary Garfield sent today letters to
Chairman Hale and Tawney of the Sen
ate and House Appropriation Commit
tee, respectively. asking for an addi-
tional appropriation of $500, 900 which,
If granted with that already asked for,
will give the Department 81 ,O0O. 900 for
that purpose
1t is stated that there is reasonable
prospect of recovering much of this al
legged fraudulently acquired land if the
appropriation is promptly made. 1t
is also pointed out that while million
dollars may seem large, it is not per
cent. of the commercial value of the
land which the Government may hope
to recover.
Secretary Garfield also submits a
statement of H. H. Schwartz, chief of
the field service, showing over 80, 900
distinct cases of alleged land frauds de-
manding further investigation. Among
such cases awaiting investigation now
pending are 1850, divided among Flori-
da, Alabama and Mississippi.

The President discussed the matter

hope that Congress pass the measure
during the present session. He added
that he would like 10 sign the bill, so as

The attitude of Speaker Cannon is
said to be that Congress should carry
out the pledges in the Republican plat.

THE FINE STANDS.
Supreme Court UphOldS Texas Decree
Against WaterS-PierCe Co.

Washington, Jan. Is. The Supreme
Court of the United States today af-
firmed the decree of the State courts of
Texas imposing fine of 81, ,625, 900 on
che WatersPierce Oil Company, of St.
Louis, and ousting it from the State on
the charge of violating the Texas Anti
Trust law.
The court also sustained the action of
the Texas State courts in the appoint
ment of Robert J. Eckhardt as receiver
and thus again decided against the COM
pany which sought to have sustained
the action of the Federal court in ap-
pointing c. b. Dorchester at the in
stance of the company. The decisions
In the cases were unanimous.
The action was begun in the State
courts of Texas under the State Anti
Trust laws. The bill charged that the
company had violated the States laws
every day through a conspiracy with
the Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
sy, to control the oil bu .iness in Texas.
but the company denied the charge, and
In addition cOntended that even if it had
violated the law it was not amenable,
because the business transacted was
of an interstate character, and, there
fore, only subject to control by the
United States authorities. The penalty
was at the rate Of $50 per day from
that time on.

AFTERMATH OF EXPLOSION.
Number Of Dead Not as Great as First
Reported.

On last Friday afternoon at 4:3O
o'clock, the last bodies of the men who
were killed in the Lick Branch mines at
Switchback, in Mcdowell county. w.
Va, on the morning of the 12th instant,
were taken from the mine These were
eight in number They were carried to
the morgue where they were easily
identified, and the bodies prepared for
burial These make the death list
total sixtyfve, which is amuch smaller
number than was reported Immediately
following the catastrophe, and added to
the number killed in the explosion of
December 10Th, makes a total of one
hundred and fifteen who lost their lives
in this Inflated mine within two weeks.
Besides the large number of men who
lost their lives in the explosion, 5 mules
were killed, four motors, used in haul
ing coal, were completely wrecked and
the mine so badly demolished that it
will require several months to clean up
the wreckage and put the mine again in
operation.
A subscription fund for the relief of
the widows and orphans, made so by the
explosion, has been started in the coal
fields, and is meeting with a most gen
erous response. The management of
the Inflated mine are also lending every
possible help to the welfare and com
fort of the stricken families.

PATTERSON YETORS THE BILL.
TenneSSse'S Prohibition Bill Pals OF
Governors Signature.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 10 Governor
Patterson this afternoon filed with the
clerk of the senate a message vetoing
the statewide prohibition bill which last
week was passed by both houses of the
legislature. The governors action fol-
lowed the adjournment of the senate
after it had passed on third reading the
bill prohibiting manufacture or sale in
Tennessee of intoxicating liquors. Con-
sequently the veto message will be read
TO the senate tomorrow morning when
1t must be sustained or the bill passed
over the executives veto. On its orig
lnal passage the vote was twenty to
thirteen. Opponents of the bill claim
tonight that they can count on a change
OF three senators to their side and that
fourth member on whose vote the fate
OF the measure depends is wavering.
With these two laws on the statute
books property worth many millions
would be made practically worthless,
vast revenues to the state and certain
counties and cities would be cut off and
the anti-prOhibitionist claim that taxes
would necessarily become burdensome.
LATER-On yesterday both houses of
the Legislature passed the bill over the
Governors veto.

ROLLING MILL
RESUMES WORK
Two Hundred Men, Most Of Whom Are
Skilled LabOroFS, Renew Work
Fires Lighted Sunday.

At six o'clock Monday morning the
big Crescent Rolling Mill resumed
work after many months of idleness,
with full complement of two hundred
men, two-thirds of whom are on the
day shift and one-third working at
night. This resumption of work is the
best news for Bristol since the coming
of the panic of October, 1907, for it is
believed that the mill will now be oper-
ated regularly. Most of the employees
are skilled laborers, and their wages
amount to large aggregate, all of
which finds its way into the channels of
the city's trade.
Fires were lighted in the Crescent
plant at six o'clock Sunday evening to
make ready for yesterdays run.
Many of the old employees are back
at their post.
The mill has orders ahead for large
amount of bar iron. A large portion of
it goes to the Carolina, Clinchfield and
Ohio, while there are big orders to be
filled from the Norfolk and Western.
The bar iron is used mainly in building
and repairing cars. From 10000 to
$4,000 pounds per day is being made.
The iron is loaded on to cars at the
mills side tracks as soon az made and
shipped out at once.
From fifteen to twenty thousand dol
lars per month will be paid out to en-
ployees. Bristol Herald Couier, of JAN
