RESOLVE TO WORK FOR CHRIST
ELEVEN HATFIELD BROTHERS
TAKEN INTO CHURCH.
Sons of Devil Anse" Protested Con-
version at the Funerals
of Elias and Troy.

OF SURPRISING interest is the
latest story of the Hatfield family
which comes down from Logan
county. The announcement that
Devil Anse" Hatfield the patriarch
of the great family which waged war
SO long against the McCoys in the
mountains of Logan and Mingo coun-
ties HAD embraced religion and been
baptized in the water of Island
Creek by Uncle Dyke Garrett came
to this section just before the
shooting Of Elias and Troy Hatfield
sons of Devil Anse'' in Fayttte
county.
This was a sensation, added in
terest being given by the prominence
of the Hatfielis in the feudal days
Troy and Elias Hatfield were shot
by an Italian named Gerome and as
they fell their own bullets found
the heart of their assailant
Their bodies were taken back to
their native Lagoon home fer burial
AMI Uncle Dyke" Garrett, the vet
eran preacher of the mountains, with
his "son in the Gospel" J. G. Nc
Neeley, went to the funeral.
On this occasion a won lerfu,
thing took place. Troy and Elias
Hatfield were two of thirteen broth
ers. Every one of these boys was
trained in his youth to be prepared
to fight to bring about, if necessary,
the determination of the Mccoy
clan.
But when they saw their brothers
cold in, death, and heard the final
benedictions pronounced over them,
sorrow filled their hearts and they
all together went forward AMI made
public confession of faith in the
God of their mother and, more re-
Gently of their father as we'll. The
mother of the eleven converts has
long been of the church.
Among the bothers were Cap"
who in the days of the feuds, was
the pOssessor of a name feared
through all the mountains, Bob,
John, DR.. Ellis, Tennis, Johnson.

boys In the near future. A special
day is to be set for the baptism.

President Taft's Appeal to Wome1

President Taft's Appeal to Women.
In the November Woman's Home
Companion President Taft writes an
article called 'The Dawn of World
Peace" in which he makes a special
appeal to women on behalf of the
arbitration treaties, which, if passed
by the Senate and signed, will 60
long way toward abolishing war.
On the human side, the side that
ought particularly to interest women,
the President says:
THE evil of war and what follows
in its train, l need not dwell upon.
In our Civil War the death-roll in
the Union Army alone reached the
appalling aggregate Of $4,000. But
the suffering and perils of the men
in the field, distressing as they are
to contemplate, are slight in COM
parison with the woes and anguish
of the women who are left behind
The hope that husband, brother,
rather, son, may be spared the trag-
ic end which all soldiers risk, when
they repsond to their couhtry's call
bouys them up in their privations and
heart-breaking lonliness. But theirs
is the deepest pain, for the most
poignant suffering is mental rather
than physical. No pension compen.
safes for the loss of the husband. sor
or father. The glory of death il
battle does not feed the mouths o.
orphaned chiloren, nor does thu
pomp and circumstance of wal
clothe them. The voice of the won
en- OF America should speak TO-
peace

$7,sooooo. ~,

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 4.-Judge
Holland. of the United States District
Court today inflicted fines of $4,000
each on the Reading and Lehigh Val
ley railroads and the Bethlehem steel
company charged with unlawful rebat-
ing. The defendants announce they
will appeal the case to the Supreme
Court.
The defendant companies were tried
on a large number of indictments
charging offenses against the inter-
state commerce laws and had the max
imum penalty been imposed the Beth
lehem Steel Company would have been
obliged to pay fine of s3,2OO,OOO; the
Lehigh Valley railroad s2.5OO,OOO and
the Rearing railway, s1,74O,00O. The
jury made a recommendation of len
iency.
In their defense the companies
claimed that because of congestion at
the works OF the Bethlehem Steel
Company. where improvements We're
being made, they were unable. to move
freight cars and that no crime had
been committed when the demurra ge
charges had been remitted.

Prosressives to Urge Reforms.

moters as "the first political conven-
tion ever held in the northwest sole
ly for the consideration of political
principles" met In this city today with
an attendance of party lea IS from
all over Minnesota and from lome of
the neighboring states as well. The
immediate purpose of the gathering
is to form an organization which will
work for the enactment of progress
i've measures at the present session OF
the Minnesota legislature. Among the
reform measures upon which the lead
ers OF the movement lay particular
stress are the extension of the direct

MANY REFORMS FOR MICHIGAN
House Cleaning in Illinois State Leg
islature Has Been Thorough and
Progressive Laws are Ex-
peoted to Result.

Providence, II. l., Jan. 4.-With two
Republicans and a Democratic candi-
date In the field for United States
senator To succeed Nelson w. AL
drich, present indications point to an
other deadlock in the Rhode Island
legislature now in session. unless there
is a marked change in the attitude Of
the Republican majority. The Repub-
lican candidates are Henry f. Lip
pitt, one of the leading woolen manu-
faoturers Of the country and Judge lie
Baron Il. Colt of the United States
circuit court, q brother of Col. Sam
uel +. Colt, president OF the United
States Rubber company The Demo-
cratic candidate is Judge Arthur L..
Brown of the United States district
court. who has received the indorse-
ment of the Democratic state conven-
tion as well as the Democratic MEM
bers of the legislature.
TO all appearances the strength o.
Llppitt and Colt, the Republican as
pirants. is about equally divided. Lip
pitt is regarded as the machine candi-
date while Colt has the Endorsement
OF the progressive or insurs mt wing
Of the Republican party. Lippitt is
the choice of Senpator Aldrich and al
so has the backing OF a majority of
the members of the state committee.
Whether this will help or hinder his
candidacy is a disputed question.
Judge Colt appears to have increased
his strength within the past few weeks
and apparently has sufficient strength
to Indicate a deadlock should all the
Democrats stand for Judge Brown on
every ballot.
