SENSATIONAL SUIT FILED
AGAINST THE STEEL TRUST

The Government brought suit in
the United States Court at Trenton.
N. j., asking for the dissolution of
the United States Steel Corporation
and a number of its subsidiary COM
panies. The petition was prepared
by Jacob NJ. Dickinson. former Sec
rotary of War, who has been retain
ed by the Government as special
counsel. 1t is alleged that former
President Roosevelt was misled in
agreeing to the steel corporation
taking over the Tennessee Coal &
Iron Company, and that the motive
was not to stop a panic, but to ere
ate monopoly.
Congressman A. q. Stanley stat
ed at jacksonville. XIV, that he eV-
pected action would be taken
against the United States Steel Cor
poration by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, as we'll as the
Department o. Justice. He express
ed little surprise at the suit filed
against the Steel Trust at Trenton.
n. J. The suit will not interfere
with the work of his investigating
committee.

ministration in past years which has
been in the hands of Democrats. OF
course everything the Republican
officials have ever done was the
height of honesty and correctness,
according to Mr.. Morrow. The
Cleveland Presidential administra-
ton was recalled by Mr.. Morrow in
scathing and bitter terms, and he
described the woes and panic which
accompanied or followed 1t, with
gestures that almost fractured the
atmosphere. The Roosevelt panic
of four years ago, however, when
depositors could not get their own
money out of banks, was not men
toned. In fact, Mr.. Morrow re-
counted nothing whatever that
would be calculated to reflect upon
any Republican administration any
where.
Mr.. Morrow closed his two-hour
address with a fearful and eloquent
appeal to the negroes present to
support the Republican ticket. He
adjured them to be faithful and
prompt inNvoting, and conjured up
a fine picture Of Abraham Lincoln,
who set them free" and whose
party is "the same Republican par
ty of to-day" For some unac-
countable reason, the Republican
leaders seem to be afraid this year
that they will not be able to bold
the negro vote in line, and they are
making strenuous efforts to get Il @
colored brother to stick to them.
1t is we'll known, however, that
only at election times does the col
ored man get any special attention
from the Republican bosses.
A noticeable feature of the speak
ing was the constant getting mp and
going out of old-line Republicans,
who seemed to have had enough of
something for the day. The last
words of Mr.. Morrow were followed
by a blare from the colored hand
eRsconced at one side of the room
and the crowd soon dispersed.

DRUNKEN DESPERATE
SHOOTS THREE MEN
Edward Salmon Runs Amuck at
Greensboro One of His
Victims Dead.

Greensboro, Ky, Oct. 29.-Ed-
ward Salmon, n well known charac-
ter in greensboro, is in the county
jail, charged with the murder of
James Warren, 80 years OF age, and
the probably fatal wounding of Err
nest Warren, a brother of the dead
man, and the shooting and wound
ing of Bud Hanson, the last named
being 2 negro.
Salmon, who was drunk, went to
the home of Lou Ella Davis, ne
gro, and after shooting and wound
ing Hanson, proceeded to the home
of Ida McCulloch, a negro resort
keeper. There he found the two
Warren brothers, talking to Goldie
Hall, a white girl about 20 years
of age. 1t is alleged that Salmon
pulled a revolver from his pocket
and opened fire on the two. men.
Neither had time to defend himself
and they fell wounded. The men
were removed to the city hospital
at o'clock this morning and James
Warren died at o'clock this after
noon. Ernest Warren is shot
through the side and the bullet is
thought to have cut his intestines.
and it is believed that he will die
before morning.
The negro who was shot is not
thought to be badly wounded Sal
mon was arrested at 4 o'clock this
morning at the tile factory. He had
the revolver with which he did the
shooting. He has had very little to
say of his deed. In fact, it is doubt
full if he remembers the shooting.
The Hall girl came to Greensboro
from Evansville on Thursday with
Emma Taylor. the woman who was
arrested on saturday charged with
leaving her four-weeks-old baby on
an ash heap in an alley.

WILSON is A SPECIMEN
REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR

Governor Wilson has spent three
hundred days out of the State dur
ing his term of office, all the time
drawing his full salary, the Lieuten-
ant Governor also being paid for do
ing HIS work. This does not in
clude one hundred days more the
Governor has spent in Louisville
attending to his law practice, and
ministering to his pleasure. Why
take any more chances along that
line? Judge o'Rear's platform APP
proves every act of Wilson's admin
istration, and 1t logically follows
that he indorses the Governors joy
riding all over the country at the
expense of the State.

II Mr.. McCulloch hadn't contrib
uted, as Mr.. Woodson charged
wouldn't he have fatty denied it?
Isn't his refusal to say, a practical
admission of the charge?
Didn't O'Rear and Langley Sc
lect McCulloch as chairman of
their finance committee at the ia
nous Paducah meeting because they
knew McCulloch was a liberal con-
tributor and knew how to make
others, especially those in his bus
mess, contribute?
How Many Others?
If Mr.. McCulloch contributed
and, of course, he did. or he would
deny it-what is Langley's denial
worth?
How many others in his business
has McCulloch also induced to con-
tribute? And If they contributed
what has been promised them? II
is certain thing they wouldn't con-
tribute if they didn't have certain
promises.
How many different strings have
O'Rear and Langley pulled in this
campaign in their desperate desires
to win?

any election?

Shooting Stars.

Astronomers estimate that about
$50, ,O0O,OO0,OOO Of shooting stars reach
this earth in the form Of meteorites or
dust every year Of course shooting
stars in reality are not stars at all;
they are little cosmic particles, often
weighing much less than one ounce
and composed mostly Of iron and car
bon. Most Of them travel around the
sun in the same fashion that comets
do, following very fattened els2tcal
trajectories. Sometimes it hdppens
that the trajectory Of some Of these
bodies cross the trajectory Of our own
earth. If the little meteorite and the
earth get to that point at the same
time they naturally collide. These
planetoids are not luminous in them
selves. So long as they fEes5rough

is no friction; therefore no heat and no
