Saved the People of Salem by
the Manufacture in This City
of Cement Sewer Pine.

Less than one year ago, before the
manufacture of cement sewer pipe
was begun in Salem by the Salem
Sewer Pipe Co., salt glazed clay six
inch sewer pipe retailed to consum-
ers at 30 cents per foot, today is sold
at % cents. The reduction in price
is due entirely to the establishment
of the Salem Sewer Pipe CO. in Sa-
lem. 1t has been estimated that in
Salem in the next two years there
will be at least 1000 homes to be con-
nected with sewers, with an average
of 100 feet per house. Now at the
saving of cents per foot,
$500 per hundred feet, would
make saving of $4,000 to the peo-
pie Of Salem, if they were going to
use the six-inch salt glazed clay pipe,
but all the people are not going to
do it. This is proven by the sales
made by the Salem Sewer Pipe Co.,
who sell both clay and cement. Their
sale sare more than ten of cement to
one of clay. We solicit your pat
ronage. will save you still more mon
ey and will give you just as service
able pipe, stronger and last longer.

ploy Salem labor at best wages.

Women Mob Editor.

Danville, H., Aug, Prank H.
Guthneck, editor of the Record, pub
lished at Westville, was mobbed by
women late yesterday, who were en-
ragged over references made to them
and their daughters in his paper. After
the editors spectacles had been
smashed, he drew revolver and by
threatening to shoot escaped to the
home of a friend whence he demand
ed protection from the sheriff. He
swore out riot warrants for several
women but on advice of the states
attorney, he remained in Danville last
night, more serious demonstration
being feared if he returned home
Guthneck's daughter and escort were
recently arrested, charged with loiter-
ing. They spent a short time in Jail
The editor retaliated by attacking the

signed the motion thus appearing as
attorney for the plaintiffs in a case
In which he was the defendant.
demurrer had, in the meantime,
been filed to the suit and the defend
ant was given twenty days in which
to answer. According to Mr.. Peter
sons attorney, an understanding was
had with Bailey whereby no action
was TO be taken until an effort had
been made to adjust matters out of
court, but at the end OF the twenty
days, Bailey filed a motion for de-
fault for want of an answer.
1t was at this juncture that Judge
Phelps took a hand in the matter.
The complexities which had arisen re-
suited in such a confusion that he
called the bar association together
and recommended that an investiga-
ton be conducted. At that time he
cited the law relating to an attorney
taking the initiative in instituting a
suit and also that which governed
the change in attorneys in a case.
Sensational Testimony.
There was no great amount of SEN
sational testimony Introduced but sew
eral statements were made which
were anything but true. In one in
stance when Attorney Charles Carter
asked Nelson st. Dennis "if Watts has
treated you fairly and you think you
had no cause for bringing this suit,
state what you think about Bailey
and Perry" the witness replied II
am liable to get murdered II I do"
Will NJ. Peterson was responsible
for other moments of marked sensa-
ton. He testified that he had told
Jerry St. Dennis that Perry "ls a
damned liar and rascal and
scoundrel" Later in testifying re-
garding a verbal agreement he had
had with Attorney Bailey, he said,
"He is the only attorney within my
knowledge who has failed to keep his
