GLIDER GETS
6 MONTHS
IN JAIL
Policeman Shielded by Chief
Sullivan Pleads
Guilty.

"The mills Of the gods grind
slowly, but they grind exceedingly
fine"
Thus remarked the old soldier,
J. n. Elliott, today to a representa-.
tive of The Press, just after Judge
kennan had sentenced former Po-
liceman L. D. Glider to the county
Jail for six months for tampering
with witness in the Elliott case.
Glider saw that fight was USE
less in the case against him. His
attorney, w. c. Donovan, told him
that defense was useless, so Gill
der entered plea of guilty.
The court was reminded of the
fact that Glider had been in Jail
since the 9th of May. In passing
sentence Judge Kennan gave Glider
six months, while the limit of the
penalty could have been one year
and $1,000 fine.
Glider was convicted on a minor
charge, that of conspiring to run
states witness out of the country.
The more serious case. in which
Glider is implicated two two women
in criminal operation performed
on the Elliott girl will be tried
later, as j. II. Elliott has announced
thath e will ask for warrant for
the arrest of Glider at once.
Glider Is the policeman who had
old man Elliott, member of the
G. A. r., railroaded through the po-
lice court to the county Jail, where
he spent weeks before he was re-
leased. Glider was shielded and
protected by John T. Sullivan, act
ing chief of police. and would prob
ably never have been brought to
justice had not The Press taken up
the case of the old soldier.

All Sides in Charter Elec-
tion Working Hard
Today.

What appeared week ago to be
a nice, tame, IadyIike election for
is commissioners to draft the new
city charter has developed into a
first class, interesting political
scrap, in which some close finishes
are looked for.
The voting this morning was a
game of cut and slash. in so far as
the two tickets in the field are con-
cerned. The voter took his time to
look over the ballot. and the fact
that he took both tickets into the
booth with him and the time con-
sumed in fixing up his ballot was
taken as an indication that he was
voting it to suit himself.

SEVERE SURPRISES.


The surprise of the situation this
morning was that the business
mems ticket was being scratched
in the Second ward, where 1t was
thought it would be voted solid,
while union laboring men and vot-
ers in the residence districts were
cutting into the original or Munter
ticket in like manner.
Some of the church element back
ing the Munter ticket is cutting the
labor representatives on the ground
that there are too many of them. AS
rule, the members of organized
labor met at the polls are support
ing the Munter ticket better than
the other elements are supporting
the labor end of it.
BOTH SIDES WORKING.
Both sides were represented with
workers at the polls today. While
possibly the citizens or business
mems ticket had the best of it in
the early hours in the Second ward,
during which time the vote was
light, lateri n the day the number

NIGHT RIDERS

Carlisle, KY, Jan. 24.-H. B. Tai
ley, who recently moved here from
Sharpsburg, stated today that he
has sent to Governor Wilson the
names of the night riders implicated
in the murder of Hiram Hedges, a
Nicholas county farmer. in March,
1908. Talley said he can give the
governor sufficient evidence to bring
the guilty parties to justice.
Hedges was called to the door of
his home and killed by party of 200
night riders. He pleaded with them
for his life, saying he would destroy
his tobacco plant beds. but they re-
fused to listen and shot him down.
Louisville, KY. Jan. 21.-The
Evening Post says:
In line with the investigation of
the opera tions of the Burley Tobac-
co Society the federal detectives in
Cincinnati have been looking into
the outlawry in central Kentucky
and have made a thorough investi
cation into the Hedges case. They
have information, they claim, posi-
lively establishing the identity of
the man who fired the shot which
killed Hedges, was a soldier in the
United States army.
In addition to the identity of the
slayer it is said the federal officers
have the names of practically all
those who were in this raid as well
as in many others and that this in
formation will be brought out at
the proper time to secure indict
ment."

The fight for relief from the rob-
berry of the meat trust, which start
ed in Cleveland last week, is spread
ing to all parts of the country and
the Government itself is preparing
to take hand by prosecuting the
National Packing Co. composed of
Armour, Swift and Morris. Re
ports have been prepared showing
the increase of rs per cent in the
living expenses of the people, de-
creasing the purchasing power of a
dollar until the much talked. of sixty.
cent dollar of 1896 has became an
actual reality of 1910. Starting with
meat and meat products the prohibi-
tive prices have been applied to all
food products until many poor peo
pie are suffering for the necessities
of life. The movement, which is
becoming national, is causing a
panic among the Republican pro-
tectors of the robber barons and
they will make an effort to stop the
rising tide of popular opposition to
the iniquities of the high tariff, that
makes such things possible. Once
burn it into the brains of the peo-
ple that the higher the tariff is,
the more it costs them to live and
there will be revolt against pro-
section that will cause a political rev.
Olution this fall.

Taking medicine on the stage is

an old actor. "Anyhow, it was so in
my case. Here is a copy of a pre-

three times in the three years that
l played the part of an invalid. l
really did suffer terribly most of
that time with indigestion, and the
medicine was prescribed by my ply
sician. He had been hammering
away at me for months before l un-
dertook the part, trying to persuade
me to take something. When that
role was assigned to me he saw his
chance.

A Sensitive Policeman.

An irascible policeman of Paris
arrested a peaceful citizen for call
ing him a "geometrician." The
citizen was talking rather loudly to
the proprietor of an old curiosity
shop, with whom he was at variance
as to the value of alleged antiqui-
ties offered for sale in the estab-
lishment. The policeman in an ex-
cess of zeal entered the shop and
expostulated with the citizen for
shouting at the top Of his voice.
"You are a geometrician," was
the retort of the person addressed.
"What is that vile name you call
ed me ?" queried the policeman.
"Go and study Euclid" replied
the other, who was then seized by
the collar of his overcoat and
marched to the station. There the
too sensitive policeman was inform
ed by his superior officer that there
was not even a shadow of case
against the person arrested.

Q Tiny Screws.

Wonderful skill is displayed in
the manufacture Of miniature time
pieces that are used to ornament
bracelets and other pieces of jewel
ry. The parts of these miniature
watches are necessarily as perfect
as those used in much larger time
piece, but much smaller. They must
be examined under a powerful mi
croscope.
Some Of the small screws are only
one twelye-hundred- d-and-fftieth part
OF an inch in diameter and seven
one-thousandth part of an inch in
length. An idea of their size can
be formed when it is estimated that
1t would require about 100000 Of
these delicate parts to fill an ordi-
nary thimble.
