Drank CarboIio Acid.

Atlanta, Ca, Dec 13.-Brooding
over a breach that had occurred be-
tween himself and his parents, Em-
NETT A. Cannon drank carbolic acid
yesterday afternoon at his boarding
house on Woodward avenue, drinking
the deadly acid from a glass out of
which he had given three-lear- old
baby a drink of water but a minute
before. He was a young man of only
% years and a collector for Archer &,
Co., his accounts being all right and
his life apparently happy, but for the
breach with his family. The young
man died several hours after taking
the fatal draught.

STILL CHASING TRAIN ROBBERS.

Savannah Ga, Dec. 13.-The work
of running down the men who robbed
the Atlantic Coast Line railroad train
at Hardeevllle yesterday morning
seems to have been left largely to the
postal officials. Two inspectors of
the Savannah district left for the
scene of the robbery this morning.
Advices from Statesboro are to the
effect that the men under arrest in
Atlanta are undoubtedly whom they
claim to be, as they are we'll known
in Bulloch county. They came from
North Georgia.

ETHEL CONRAD
WAS ON STAND
SHE PROVED TO BE GOOD WIT
NESS IN SENSATIONAL
STOKES CASE.

New York, Dec. 13.-The district
attorney, who is trying to prove that
Lillian Graham and her chum, Ethel
Conrad, had planned to murder w. E..
d. Stokes when they shot him at their
apartment last June, today returned
TO the task of discrediting the testi-
n1ony of the two show girls.
The defense felt encouraged by the
manner in which Miss Conrad met the
prosecutors attack yesterday. Her
story of the shooting supported Miss
Grahams and at the same time she
never lost an opportunity to express
her opinion of Stokes.
Having told the jury that she still
loved her accuser, Miss Graham could
not freely attack his motives, but her
friend labored under no such handi-
cap and never let a chance slip to tell
what she thought of Stokes conduct
and character.
In the effort to discredit Miss Con-
RAIDS testimony the prosecution
planned today to continue probing in
to her past. The story of what hap
pened to her at Plattsburg year ago
last summer was unfinished at ad-
journment of court yesterday after
noon. Miss Conrad said she made a
man who insulted her there sign, at
the point of pistol, statement re-
lating to her stay in Plattsburg This
statement she promised to have in
court today, but it could not be found.
Mr. Stokes, his physicians say, is a
very sick man, and they do not even
discuss when he will be able to fin
ish his testimony.

Knoxville, Tenn, Dec. 13.-The

Briceville, Tenn, Dec. IL, 1911.
To Whom 1t May Concern:

our purpose to Immediately make a

Hope to Effect Rescue.

The theory upon which they base
this hope is that Samuel Miller a
veteran miner of Is years experience.
is probably at the head of a party of
men; that it had been expected that
more dead bodies would be found in
parts of the mine visited in the rescue
work, and as these bodies have not
been located, it is believed the men
have been led by Miller to some place
Of safety. They are thought to be in
the area of cross sections 10 to %. in
elusive. This portion of the mine in
cludes four entries, each of which ex-
tends one and one-quarter miles into
the coal seam. 1t is supplied with
fresh air from the fan in the Thistle
side of the mine. Water is flowing in
that area, and on the theory of where
there is water there is oxygen, the
experts believe the men have some
chance of being saved.
1t is believed that Sam Miller and
a party of miners are alive in the
Cross Mountain mine, in cross-entries
20 or 81.
The rescue party is working be-
tween cross entries 10 and %, and it
is thought they may bring out more
living miners within the next few
hours.
A telephone line has been complet-
ed into the interior of the mine, and
a message received from workers was
that evidences of more life in the
mine had been found. The detailed
Information as to the findings, how
ever, has not yet been reported from
the mine interior.
A mining engineer stated today
that miners in the Thistle mine. ad-
joining Cross Mountain, reported that
they heard sounds or knockings On
the wall, which they believed ema-
mated from the Cross Mountain mine,
as if caused by men picking.
Bodies Decomposng.
1t was announced today that bodies
taken from the Cross Mountain mine
would hereafter be buried in their
working clothes as decomposition has
reached such a state that it will be
impossible to prepare them for burial.
1t is predicted that many men may be
consigned to their graves unrecog-
nized and unidentified by their wild
ows and mothers.
No hope is held out today that John
Duff and Arthur Smith, the men whom
rescuers believed were heard knock
ing on the walls of the mine Tuesday
will be rescued. The chalk marks on
the walls indicating the route the i'm
prisoned men had taken are believed
to have been inscribed by Duff and
Smith. Because of their acquaintance
with this mine and other nearby
mines which head the Cross Mountain
channel, it is thought that perhaps
they have died from exhaustion. 1t is
also pointed out, by some that they
may have hemmed themselves up in
side entries. These are the men who
it was reported yesterday were run
ming in the mine as If demented.

FINE CONDITION OF BANKS.
Statements of Local Institutions Pub.
liShed This Morninq.

Elsewhere in The News this morn
ing will be found statements of the
condition of two of Brunswick's we'll
known banking institutions, the Ma
tional Bank of Brunswick and the
Brunswick Bank & Trust Co.
These statements show both Of
these well-known banks to be in a
fiourishing condition; in fact seldom
has either Of them presented a more
substantial statement to the people of
the city. The steady growth of the
banks in this city have been noted
with interest during the year just
closed, and their excellent condition
just at this time is one of the very
best Indications Of the general con-
dition of the city.

no need for hasty action for making

IRRIGATION SYSTEM
DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR WILL
SETTLE SOUTHERN PACIFIC
DISPUTE IN ARIZONA.

Los Angeles, Oct. S0.-Samuel
Adams, first assistant secretary of the
interior, accompanied by number OF
department officials and aides, has
arrived here to take up the disputed
question of the disposition of the IA
nous Box Canyon in Arizona, the
hearing on which will be held here.
Upon the outcome depends the fate
of a cherished project of the Southern
Pacific Railway company and the pos
sible sacrifice Of the proposed main
line, which it is figured when COM
pleted, will be the means Of saving
millions of dollars to the railroad.
The opponents of the railroad in the
dispute are the ranchers Of Florence,
Ariz.. and vicinity, who propose to
construct an immense dam across
the canyon. which, it is planned, will
impound sufficient water to irrigate
10000 acres of now arid land. The
matter comes within the Jurisdiction
OF the department of the interior by
virtue of the fact that much of the
land in question is within the San
Carlos Indian reservation.

WILLIAM h. TAFT NOW
IS UNION BRICK LAYER
PRESIDENT Is REQUIRED TO JOIN
T. ORGANIZATION BEFORE HE
CAN LAY CORNERSTONE

Chicago, Oct. President Taft
motored many miles through the
muck and gloom of a rainy day in
Chicago today to keep the engage
ments that marked the end of his
longest visit to this city. The presi-
dent scorned to have the top lifted
on his automobile, and with head
barred greater part of the time, he
rode through the drizzle in apparent
ly a very happy frame of mind.
His first trip of the day was to
the stockyards, where he made brief
address on scientific agriculture at
the National dairy show. The presi
dent also viewed the livestock exhi
bition He said he was sorry that
Pauline Wayne, the famous White
House COW, was not present. Mr.
Taft referred to Pauline as cher ma
jesty."
Next, the president motored back
to town to lay the cornerstone of the
new Hamilton club building.

Imperlals Attack WI Chang

Hankow,9 China, Oct. 30.-(via WI
Hu)-The imperial forces are prepar-
ing to follow up their victory over
the rebels last week by an attack on
WI Chang, which the revolutionists
have protected by elaborate emergen-
cy Notifications, and Han Yang,
which is regarded as of the utmost
Importance on account of the arsenal
there.
Admiral Sab Cheng Ping yesterday
notified the foreign consuls that he
was about to begin a bombardment
of WI Chang and asked that all for
eigners be ordered to leave at once.
The loyalists are now in undisput-
ed possession of the entire city OF
Hankow, including the powder fac
tory. They are also in control of the
railway. Their position here is adj
yantageous for a sudden attack
against the arsenal at Han Yang.

The club house is in the heart Of
the business district and the streets
ia it's vicinity were blocked for an
hour or more, While the president
was speaking the crowd nearly broke
into panic. The people in the rear
fighting for better positions, started
general forward movement which
swept aside the solid wall Of blue
coats that had Stood between the
crowd and the speaking platform.
The disorder was so great that Mr.
Taft stopped speaking and the mount
ed police were hurriedly summoned.
At sight of the men on horses the
throng quieted down and the cere-
monies proceeded.
At the end of brief speech, the
president, grasping a trowel, exclaim-
ed:
Il will now show you how cor
nerstone should be laid"
The Brick Layers union had insist
ed that Mr.. Taft join their organiza-
tion before he was permitted to off
ciate at today's ceremony. So the
president had his union card in his
pocket. A luncheon followed the

JUDGE REFUSES TO
ALLOW CHALLENGE
TALEsMEN IN M'NAMAaRA CASE
RETAINED AGAINST PROTEST
OF ATTORNEY BARROW.

Los Angeles, Oct. 30.-A. j.. Winter
and Walter N. Frampton, two tales
men against whom the Mcnamara de-
fense made a bitter but unsuccessful
fight last Friday and Saturday, were
retained by Judge Bordwen today on
challenge by the defense on the
ground that neither believes in the
infiiction of the death penalty on cir
cumstantial evidence.
A previous challenge against each
on the ground of expressed bias had
been disallowed in a ruling which
took the defense aback and the lat
ter challenges were a sort of after
thought.
The state opposed them on the
ground that no one but the people
had right to challenge on that
ground.
In making his decision the judge
declared the defense's second chal-
lenges were made with intent to get
rid of the men for grounds other than
those made in the challenge. He said
that If the defense had opposed the
CHALLENGE presented Saturday by the
state against Talesman T. J. Lee un-
der somewhat similar conditions he
would have disallowed that challenge
also.
1T is not a legitimate proceeding
and will not be permitted" he said in
the curse of an opinion which he
read from the desk.
! Accuses Defense of FaIsehood.
The defense in the Mcnamara mur
der case was charged with bad faith
in open court today by Judge Walter
Bordwell, and for this and other rea
sons, challenges against Talesmen A
C. Winter and Walter N. Frampton
were denied. Attorney Darrow. after
the court had concluded its statement
took exception to the courts assertion
that the defense, in challenging fol
one cause, had no desire to get rid Of
the talesmen on that ground.
The net result of the decision is
that the defense must use two per
emptory challenges to keep the two
talcsmen loft the jury.
There was nothing vague about the
courts ruling.

| Every voter who desires to cast his
ballot on November Z for the best In
terest of the new state should be pres
emit at the Duncan opera house to-
night to listen to the address of Judge
A. B. Fall. Of Three Rivers. Judge
Fall will speak under the auspices OF
the republicans of San Miguel county.
His remarks will be largely in re-
sponse to the utterances of Congress
man Henry d. Flood, who spoke here
some time ago at the request of the
democrats.
Congressman Flood, it VII be re
membered, spoke in favor Of the Blue
Ballot amendment 20 the state con-
stitution. He also endeavored to dem
onstrate that it was the democratic
delegation at Washington that pro
cured the early admission of New
Mexico as a state. Judgs Fall was
member of the convention that
framed the state constitution. He was
also in Washington working for the
admission of New Mexico to tle com
rany of states.
For these reasons he will be able
to make some truthful statements to-
night that will put different aspect
upon the utterances Of Mr.. Flood.
While Judge Fall worked to the end
that the Blue Ballot amendment be
