OF her e0fdfd narrative.
In part her confession follows. and
since it has been made II is believed
Gordon's trial will end in rather
short order.

band alive" said Mrs. Faulling. was
on March &c, 1909, when he left
our home about sundown to mail Il
letter to his father at Monck's Cor
ner, s. c.
II met Mr.. Gordon in Florida and
have known him three years. My hus-
band and / moved to several places
in Florida, and each time Mr.. Co..
don moved also. We first became
intimate at Loftman, Fla. Our meet
ings continued up to the time of his
arrest. The night lefore the officers
came for Mr.. Gordon. he spent with
me.
MY husband left at sundown and
at supper time he had not returned
and so several friends had supper
with me and we did not walt for
him. Just before we finished sup
me aside said: L have done 1t.

II was very much frightened and
nearly tainted, but Mr.. Gordon
caught me and told me to be calm as
he was not afraid. He then tried
to get me to go and help him bury
the body, but / refused. So he left
the house and returned In about an
hour, telling me he had buried the
body. He said he had had a great
deal of trouble taking the body to
the place as 1t was so stiff.
Mr.. Gordon told he that last
night that II | told he would kill me
within the next twenty-four hours.
That was the reason for my silence.
Since he has been In jail he has writ
ten me a letter trying to concoct a
scheme to prove an alibi for him.
Gordon Convicted.
A later dispatch says for the MUIR
der of William f. Faulling, Jr.. at
Walthourville, Liberty county. Ca.

MORO BANDIT SWEARS
HE WILL KILL 100 MEN

Manila.-When Jikiri, the Moro
bandld chief who was killed with all
his followers in a desperate battle
with troops and constabulary near
Patian on Jolo Island, July 3, began
his career as an outlaw, he swore he
would kill 100 men before he died.
The record of the murders ne COM
mitted is not complete, but It is stat
ed in dispatch received today from
Zamboanga that the bandit probably
made good his oath, as the partial
record shows he took the lives OF
nerly a hundred persons.
From the latest reports Of the fight
all but one of the several women in
the cave where the outlaws made
their last stand were wives Of Jikiri.
But one of the women escaped. She
was the wife of one Of the Jikirl fol-
lowers and accepted the safe conduct
offered by the Americans before the
assault on the cave began.

ed the billboard stage. Men identi-

assert that the code gives the hollow
tile manufacturer a monopoly of the

picting Tammany Hall. which is
credited with being friendly to the
hollow tilemakers, as the cat which

poster announced that a mass meet

was put up someone with considerable
influence interviewed the bill-posting
firm, which refused to put up any
more of the cartoons. Now the ce-
ment people threaten a damage suit.
All the newspapers publish large ad-
vertisements announcing the meeting

conditions in the business world will

action. The tariff will be adjusted to
meet conditions.
"Why Is wheat selling at SIPS?
Most people think Jim Patten is the
answer to that question. Could jim
Patten be the cause of mills closing
down? People don't realize new con-
ditlons. A few years ago about
three-quarters of the people were liv-
ing on the land, now about 60 per
cent of the people of the country are
living in the centers of population.
The question is: Can the 80 per cent
feed the community?
II only want to illustrate how the
average man is apt to select an effect
for a cause and put all the blame for
existing conditions on that assumed
cause.
How will the people get back to
the land finally? Empty stomachs.'

CHAMPION BATSMAN TELLS HOW
FANS DIFFER IN DIFFERENT CITIES

of plays, they will sit there and cheer
perfunctorily. But once they get go
ing, look out. Then they are the
widest crowd that one would care
to meet, and they will stop at moth
ing TO get a game. The fan then will
take any kind of a chance, and, I
doubt not, would even run out and
try to prevent a player from fielding
a ball. if it were not for the fear of
the law. At that, even the guardians
of the law will join in the feeling, as
was evidenced by a well-remembered
incident in a seventeen inning game
we played there a season ago, when
the winning of a pennant was a very
doubtful question with us.
Take Anything in Boston.
In Boston, 1.-The City of Culture"
as it is called, the baseball followers
live up to their name. Nowhere does
the visiting player get the same show
and encouragement as in the Hub.
l. would seem that the people there
are satisfied if they see good fast
baseball, whoever may win. The
umplres rarely come in FIR censure
there, and when they do, it is very
mild, and you never hear of them
having to be escorted from the field
by the police. The man who makes
a good play is cheered to the echo,
whether or not he wears a Boston
uniform. Do not imagine the Bos-
tonians are not real fans-they are;
and they support their team in great
style. Why couple of years ago,
when the team was at the foot of the
race, and made the awful record Of,
IA straight defeats, there used to be
four or five thousand in attendance
at every game. No other city in the
country would be able to boast halt
that number under similar circum-
stances. The good spirit displayed
by the fans is the reason that Boston
is such a popular place among all
the ball players.
No Local Pride at Capital.
The national capital is cosmopoli-
tan in every sence Of the word. The
local pride that we find in all the
other towns is to a great degree,
lacking in Washington, owing to the
fact that the population Of the city
is made up of people coming from
such widely scattered places. Why,
at a game there, you are likely to
have just as many people roofing for
your team as for the home nine. The
people there have acquired the habit
Of taking things easy and while they
wish the Senator'S to win, they do not
take it to heart enough to start any
trouble if their hopes are not real
ized.
