DANIEL IN LIONS DEN
TOWN IN AN UPR0AR
Hdp9viIle. Ca, Scene of
Excitement.

Atlanta, Ga, June 13.-As the re-
suit of the arrest, Kcarceration ana
subsequent fining of Prof. J, NJ. Dan
iel, superintendent of the Hapeville
Baptist Sunday school, the little town
of IIapevilIe is split into two factions,
which are growing gradually farther
apart.
Daniel was arrested on the nominal
chorse of attempting to build a store
in the residence section of the town,
without securing a license. His
fir ends assert it is not the custom to
secure building permits, and he says
the city clerk told him he did not
have to get one.
He was arrested by the marshal of
the town, hustled off to jail without
an opportunity to get bondsmen and
put behind the bars
His friends then gathered and ir-
formed the mayor that unless he was
released they would tear down the
jail. He was released on bond. He
was tr ed in the presence OF a big
crowd and fined $3.50.
His friends in the courtroom threat
ened, if he was fined and, refusing 10
pay, was sent to work on the streets,
they would take him off by force. The
case has been apDealnd
One result of the trial has been the
circulation of a petition asking for
the impeachment of Mayor J. W.
Humphries, who is alleged to have
ordered the arrest.

ENEMIES GOV. BROWN
DIGGING UP MOL EHIlL
In Effort to Oppose Ills
Election.
Every Effort of Hench-
men Put Forth TO En-
barrass Candidacy.

Atlanta, Ga, June 13.-Thoueh
the State Executive committee met a
week ago, the political situation S
| developing rather slowly. That every
possible use will be made against Gov.
Brown of his action in ordering troops
to the Lookout mines on account of a
threatened trouble there with a lot of
Italian miners. is more than appar-
ent.
OF Gov. Browns authority in order
ing out these troops there does not
appear to be any serious question
But the advisability of it APPEARS to
be another matter.
The Atlanta Federation of Trades
the organized labor of this city, has
yaken the matter under considerat on,
and may make request upon the gov
ernor for his reasons in ordering out
the troops. 1t is true the laborers
involved in the trouble were foreign
ers, they say, but they are asking if 1t
might not have been just the same il
they had been Americans.
On top of that report comes from
Washington that the Italian embassy
is investigating the trouble and wants
to know why these Italian Iaborers
were ordered out of the state.
The latest development is the state
ment of Sheriff Garmany of Walker
county to the effect that no exigen
existed which demanded the presence
of troops.
All of these things aIe already be-
ing used as campaign material, but
Gov. Brown S saying nothing. Doubt,
less he will make a full report of the
matter to the legislature when it con
yenes.
Russell Out of Race.
While he has made no formal state
ment of his intentions, it is gener-

civilization and MIssIons.

There is question that Is larger
than government or trade, and that is
the moral well-being of the vast mil
lions who have come under the protec-
ton of modern governments. The rep
resentative of the Christian religion
must have his place side by side with
the man Of government and trade. and
for generations that representative
must be supplied in the person Of the
foreign missionary from America and
Europe. Civilization can only be per-
manent and continue blessing to any
people II, in addition to promoting
their material well-being, 1t also
stands for an orderly individual liber-
ty, for the growth Of intelligence and
tor equal justice in the administration
Of law. Christianity alone meets these
fundamental requirements. The
change of sentiment in favor Of the
foreign missionary in a single genera
ton has been remarkable.

he passed under an electric light

II went to the spot and found in the
snow piece Of capsule. l took II
home. When I got there my fingers
smelled strongly of cyanide Of potas
sum-"
John c. Paxton, the confidential mar
of the Swope family, followed Swopt
on the stand
Hyde's lawyer sought to show thai
Paxton had been actuated by improp
er motives in attempting to work VI
a case of circumstantial evidence
against Doctor Hyde.
It was clearly shown that one OF
the strong bulwarks of the defense Of
Hyde will be that he has been made
the victim of a conspiracy begun ant
carried through by his mother-in-law.
