LONG DISTANCE
RESPONSIBLE FOR
RAILROAD CHANGE.
Reason for Putting Assistant Super.
intendent at Princeton ON
Illinois Central.

The long distance telephone Is re.
sponsible for the removal Of the
chief dispatcher and the Office of as
sistant superintendent of the Louis
vile division OF the Illinois Central
railroad from Paducah to Princeton.
Work on the telephone line from Pa
ducah to Central City has been near
ly completed and the workmen are
putting on the finishing touches now.
II is expected that the line will be
ready for use by April 10 1t has
been found almost impossible to use
the long distance telephone for rail-
road traffic unless the dispatcher is
about half way between the termin-
ais. Besides giving better satisrac-
ton II the wire were to break at one
terminal, the line is not thrown en-
tirely out OF commission, as the dis
patcher can use the line between the
office and the other terminal.

Oklahoma In Quandary.

Guthrie, Okla. March IT, The
legislatures failure 70 act upon the
liquor dispensary question probably
will result in reopening the state and
local liquor agencies. although upon
this point Governor Haskell has made
no statement.
Following the general election, the
governor, by proclamation, closed the
agencies, announcing that the peo-
pies vote had been against the sys-
TEN. But on an appeal being taken
to the supreme court on a test case
for the sale of alcohol. that tribunal
held that the Billups law in this re-
spect had not been repealed.
Governor Haskell's friends say that
every opportunity has been given TO
correct the law, and that in the alb
sence OF legislative action presump-
ton is in favor of the local dispensary
system.
The legislature appropriated $751;
900 annually for the enforcement of
statewide prohibition: passed an act
making Il a felony to sell or give
liquor to an insane person, habitual
drunkard or minor. and killed q reso-
luton which sought to amend the
constitution by substituting local
option for prohibition.

DRACK COLEMAN
DIES OF BRIGHT's DISEASE IN
MUHLENBURG.
Leaves Near Relatives I'm This Cit,
buried Mt Graham.
Kentucky.

Brack Coleman. 25 years old, died
yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock at
the home of his father at Graham, in
Muhlenburg County, after a long Ill
ness with Bright's disease. The news
OF his death, which has been expected
for several weeks, was received In the
city by relatives.
Mr.. Coleman lived at Sixteenth and
tennessee streets, but about month
ago he and his wife and child went
TO Graham, hoping that his health
would be benefited. He was a cooper
by trade, but had recently been a
wagon driver. He was married two
years ago to Miss Mamie Harris. of
Graves county. Besides his wife and
child he leaves one sister, Mrs. Henry
Robertson, 704 South Tenth street.

miles to the station uncontrolled.
Both the engineer and fireman
were blown out of the engine. The
train ran wild twenty miles. The
head brakeman was alarmed when he
saw the train run full speed past the
yard signal and he climed to the en-
CINE and found the cab empty. He
endeavored to set the brakes which
refused to work until too. late to do
more than check the train. It ran
into the station at twenty miles an
hour and crashed into the women's
waiting room where there were Ital-
ian immigrants. One girl and an IN
specoor were killed. The engineer
and fireman are fatally hurt.

Fate of Duncan Cooper and Son
Placed in Hands of Jury by Judge
Hart in Nashville Circuit Court
Big Crowd Hears the Charge,
Which Goes in Minute De-
tails Of Explanation-Jurors
Listen Intently to His Words

Nashville, March 1.-THE Cooper
case went to the jury this morning
Judge Hart read his Instructions to
the jury. 1t contained 5000 words
and covered every point raised in the
progress of the trial. There were fire.
quent explanations of the application
OF the common law to the case. The
instructions were impartial and every
Juror was leaning forward in his chair
when the last words were read, and
the court room was hushed. The jury
was then taken cut to consider the
case.
1t is generally believed 1t will dis
agree.
The trial lasted almost two months
Interest has been undated The
crowd this morning in the court room
was as large as on the opening day.
The instructions went infinitely into
the various degrees OF manslaughter,
homicide, presumption, innocence
and self-defense.
Judge Hart instructed the jury
that IL the jury believed Cooper COM
mitted an overt act in what he did
and said when he met Carmack, the
plea OF self-defense could not be al
lowed; IL Cooper had abandoned his
threat to kill Carmack and IL the de-
termination to do so was formed in
his mind again when he saw Car
mack, he could not take advantage
of the self-defense plea.
Jury Has Cost $500.
The bill of costs in the Cooper
Sharp murder trial to the state and
county will be one OF the heaviest in
criminal litigation in years. The
sheriff and clerk of the court will re-
ceive nothing for their services, un-
less the case proceeds to a verdict,
except. of course, the sheriff will re-
ceive pay for the board of the jurors.
The cost of the jury-salary and
board-amounts to nearly $4,000, or
to be more exact, $500, and is one
OF the heaviest expense bills of this
nature incurred in years.

OKLAHOMA is HAVING TROUBLE

Nashville, March 7.-Manufactur.
ers of whisky and beer products in
the state of Tennessee will contest
the constitutionality OF the manufac-
turers' law recently enacted by the
fifty-sixth general assembly, and will
carry their case to the United States
supreme court. This Is the first Off
cial announcement that such is theih
purpose.
In this connection a may be also
added that the statewide law AMI the
election law WIN be given an oppor-
tunity OF going over The same route.
There has been an Intense stiffness
on the part OF the liquor manufac-
turers, which as disturbed the state
widers. since the manufacturing bill
became a law. No disposition has
been shown to discuss the matter,
and IL was not certain what course
would be pursued until last week. On
Sunday Charles Lewis, the active rep
resentative of the Model License
League. reached Nashville. and since
that time an effort has been mads
to ascertain what the purpose OF his
visit could be. Mr.. Lewis registered
at the Maxwell House and declines to
be interviewed or to commit himself
as to the occasion of the visit. State
widers are becoming alarmed again.
II may be stated upon authority
which can not be questioned that the
liquor manufacturers are prepared Z
act and will act before the LIST
July.

STEEL TRUST CUTS
WAGES OF WORKMAN,
NOT OR OFFICIALS

New York, March 17.-For the
nrst time since its organization in
1901, by ]. p. Morgan, as the billion
dollaf' steel trust, the United States
steel corporation is TO make a cut in
the I,rice OF its workers.
The reduction, according to a state
ment by an authority high in the
councils of the gigantic corporations.
is to range from is to 20 per cent of
the wage scale now in effect In all
the company's plants and those of all
us subsidiaries. II is to embrace
every boy and man In the service.
excepting only the highly-paid execu-
tive heads. In all, an army of more
than 100000 wage-earners will suf-
fer.
The cut, according to the present
plans, is to go into effect on April 10.
II is 5 to 10 per cent greater than
that made by the Independents at the
beginning of the rate war between
them AMI the trust.
Whether II was based solely on
business conditions or was the out
come of some deep-laid political plan
for which the corporation has been
noted, could not be ascertalned. Last
week from Pittsburgh 1t was an
nounced that the trust had decided to
pare down the salaries of the many
hundreds OF so-called "fat jobs" and
in many cases to abolish them alto
gether. Z
BY this means II was hoped that
s1.500,00O to $2.O0O,0O0 a year
might be saved without cutting the
wages OF the working men. Accord
ing to the statement, however. that
plan has been changed, the reason
given being that business notwith-
standing the cut in prices. has not
increased as expected and that the
were obtaining more
han what the trust considered their
lue and proper share.
