THE DEMocRATIC TIIRMnIL.

IT HE Democratic leaders, the organization they
Il might be called. are disposed to interfere
with the Democratic nomination.
Doubtless the asprants for the Democratic
nomination for Mayor resent the interference Of
leaders with their rights and privileges to become
candidates. OF what good would it he TO Mayor
Spruanoe or to Mr.. Dube TO withdraw from
what they consider fine fighting chance for the
nomination and to permit some Que else to be
the candidate?
DR. Spruance has declared that he wants the
nomination and it is not TO be expected that he
will retire The Democrats seem TO he nervous
for fear that hot fight at the primaries will
cause the Democrats to lose the election. But
II will he for other reasons than a fight at the
primaries that the Democrats will lose if they
do lose
Experience has shown that the Republicans have
been able 10 carry election after contest at
the primaries, and the Democrats arc too greatly
estimating the damage that will he done at their
primary contest II the Republicans win at the
coming election, and there is every kind Of indi-
cation that they will win their victory will be
due TO the fact that they will have a candidate
who appeals more 10 the people than will the
Democratic candidate, and TO the additional fact
that the Democratic administration in Wilmington
has been highly unsatisfactory to the voters and
disappointing to its friends

The general habit of carrying CON
cealed weapons should be condemned
Those whose business is the pre-
vention of crime are expected to be
armed. but few others have any ex-
cuse for carrying a revolver.
The ease with which a pistol can
be purchased in New York city has
aroused Big Tim Sullivan, the noted
politician, and he has introduced a
bill in the Senate TO make it a felony
for any one to carry or possess a re.
volver or other 1rearm without a
license. He declares there are too
many gun men downtown in his dis
trict, and the law should make It inn
possible for irresponsible persons to
buy pistols.
An unarmed individual is at a ter
rible disadvantage when confronted
with a pistol in the hands of thug
who is desperate enough to shoot for
the sake Of a. few dollars. Wherever
the gun-carrying habit is allowed
there is always trouble. The laws
on this subject cannot be too strict,

Pretty Girl in Mems Garb.

After parading the streets of Nor
folk and loafing around pool halls for
about four days dressed in mems
clothes, Miss Mary Johnson of Cor
nth, Ia, found it necessary to confess
last night that she was woman.
Miss Johnson was recognized as a
woman last night at 8 o'clock by
Sheriff C. S. Smith who found her in
local pool hall After she had bitterly
pleaded not to be put in Jail, the
county official took pity on the girl
and she was allowed to leave the city
on an early morning train today
johnson" is probably fictitious
name says the sheriff but that her
home is in Corinth, Ia, he is quite
sure.
The story told to the officer by the
girl after he had put her under rigid
questioning seemed a pitiful one. She
declared that her mother was dead
and that her father has abused her
and seven other children. She told
the sheriff that she found it easier to
obtain work when dressed in mems
clothing. 1t developed later, however,
that the girls story was untrue. A
local barber has admitted that he had
cut the girls hair about a week ago.
She then was garbed in ordinary fe-
male attire. For three days Miss John
son. wearing a small cap and soft
shirt, regular coat and pair of yell
low striped overalls has been sit
ting around local pool hall where
she was thought by the men who fire.
quent the place, to be boy.
She was noticed early Wednesday
evening seated on the top of an ice
box in a pool hall and later when it
was learned that the sheriff was
searching for her, she was given a
chance to escape by several men who
| learned that she was disguised. She
did not take the opportunity, and the
sheriff took her in charge. Miss John
son is not a bad looking girl. She is
very dark. has pretty dark eyes and
black hair. She weighs about 120
pounds, and is about 19 years old.

STOKES CONDITION SERIOUS.
Trial Of the shooting Show Girls"
Hurries to Ito Close.

New York, Dec. 14.-The trial OF
the shooting show girls" hurried to
its close today. The attorneys expect.
ed to finish their summing up in time
to let the jury have the case before
adjournment tomorrow. Lillian Ora
ham and her friend, Ethel Conrad, and
w. h. d. Stokes, the middle.aged mil
lionaire they shot, have completed
their testimony. If Mrs Stella Single.
ton, Miss Graham's sister, was able
to testify, the defense planned to put
her on the stand today. Mrs. Single.
ton had been confined to the house
since Tuesday, when she tottered out
of the courtroom and fell in faint,
unable to endure the strain of the ex.
citing trial.
Although both sides would like to
examine Stokes a little further, his
condition would prevent his appear
ance in court for at least two weeks,
and the attorneys have decided to
close the trial without taking any
more of his testimony.
Stokes physician, who spent nearly
the whole night at his bedside, said
this morning that the millionaire had
passed very bad night and that his
condition was critical.

Gated not far from Norfolk and only
two miles from the railroad. The ira.
yelling man has several samples OF the
ashes on exhibition in his Norfolk
headquarters, and the state geologst
at Lincoln, he says, has after careful
sent to him. declared them to be OF
the finest quality in the state. The vol.
canic ash is surface deposit OF sill.
very white powdery mineral, very
similar to the powdered pumice used
extensively in the east, and imported
from foreign countries. The volcanic
ash discovered by Mr.. Treganza is
about twenty.three feet deep and as
white and fine as flour. This volcanic
ash is valuable to soap manufacturers
who use it extensively in manufactur.
ing their securing products.
Treganza stumbled upon this vol
canic ash deposit quee accidently

attracted to the place on one OF his
drives by the peculiar appearance and
formation of the soil. After running
much of the fine white material
through his fingers he bottled" some
of it and sent 1t Immediately to the
state authorities, and after securing
their verdict he purchased the prop.
erty. There are about twenty acres of
the deposit, but II is reported Tre.
ganza purchased about fifty acres of
the land surrounding this deposit. He
declares his discovery "a gold mine"
So confident is Treganza that his
"fnd" is rich one that he has ar.
ranged to move from his home at Nit
chell closer to the volcanic deposit,
and make arrangements to ship his
stock. He has shipped samples of the
ashes to leading manufacturers and
declares from inquiries he has already
received he will easily dispose of all
he can dig up. Travelling statesmen,
friends of TreganZa, declare his find
worth over 100000. While even to
them he has not yet confided the To-
cation of the deposit. it is believed
it is not far from this city.
