DALEY TALKS TO REPORTER,
Says That The Shooting Was Accident
al And That He Was Not Intoxicated

mo sir, did not intend to kill my
wife said Ellsworth Daley to Ban
ner reporter in his cell in the Knox
county jail Monday morning. Daley
further said that he was not intoxicat-
ed and could prove this by George
Flecknoe and Nard Skeen, who were
at his house during the afternoon.
Daley admitted having drank several
bottles of beer, but declared most
emphatically that he was not intoxi-
Gated.
To The Banner representative Daley
said that he had been shooting at a
tin can in the yard in the afternoon
and at the supper hour he walked into
the house carrying the revolver in the
house with him. He stated that his
wife was standing at the stove and
was about to look into the oven at
her bread. Daley stated that he was
swinging the revolver in his hand
when suddenly there was a report and
his wife started to sink to the floor.
The prisoner said that he was positive
he had discharged all the cartridges in
the revolver before he entered the
house and for that reason he was
handling the gun rather carelessly.
Daley said after the revolver had
been discharged he threw the gun on
the kitchen table and that his wife
grabbed him and pulled him down
with her when she fell to the floor.
The prisoner said that his wife ex.
claimed as she fell:
"Oh Ellsworth, On my, oh my, oh
myt"
Daley was unable to account to the
Banner representative how the weapon
was discharged.
He lenied having any trouble with
the wife during the afternoon and
was positive IN his statements that he
never threatened to kill his wife.
When asked about the argument
over the money prior to the shooting
he admitted having few words. He
said he gave his wife dollar earlier
in the day and that he wanted nickel
of the money. This he said his wife
refused to give him, but that they had
no words of the incident and that
neither he nor his wife we're angry at
any time.
Daley admitted having carried re
volver on numerous occasions. He said
that he carried revolver once while
employed as section hand on the
C. A. & G. railroad and it was for the
purpose of killing dogs. He said that
he had carried revolver down town
at nights recently, but that was alst
for the purpose of killing dogs.
Daley said that he was not intoXi
Gated at the time and could prove this
by the two men who were at his home
In the afternoon.
Again DALEY stated that the whole
affair was accidental, breaking down
with tears streaming down his face
This brought the interview to close

Protect Drain ways.

No one imbued with an earnest
desire for the upbuilding of the city
takes pleasure in saying anything
that might in any way cause extra
work for the builder. On the other
hand there are times when that de-
sire causes great patience and leads
one to lend more or less leniency.
The city itself has done this several
years, and there have been frequent
instances, when the city ordinances
concerning the blocking of pave
ments have not been strictly en-
forced, the policy being to give and
take.
The city is showing no disposition
to take any action that would inter-
fere with city development, espe-
cialIy along the building line, freely
giving builders considerable Iati-
tude. But, this fact ought not to be
taken advantage of by building CON
tractors and others to the extent of
great annoyance to the public.
Furthermore, the building con-
tractor should be mindful % public
health conditions to the extent OF
menacing good conditions no more
than is absolutely necessary.
1t may be that there are several
instances, where it is practically
Impossible to give a clear pavement
where large buildings are going up,
but it ought to be possible always to
keep the gutter and other drain
ways clear, so that there may be no
pools of water, which become stag
nant and gather germs besides caus-
ing great inconvenience to pedes-
trians. A pool of water should not
be allowed to exist anywhere in the
city whether in the streets or some
where else. Such pools are very
dangerous to health.
Water pools in the streets, where
buildings are being erected. would
not exist If those in charge of build
ing operations would construct q
temporary culvert. If necessary. or
keep the drain way clear of material
and rubbish. The cost would be
triGing and the menace and annoy
ance would be avoided.
The Telegram offers the sugges-
ton that the builders experiment
along this line a little, and it ven
lures the assertion that they will
find it so pleasing that they will be
loathe to permit drain ways to be-
come choked where they are build
ing hereafter.

Noting with much amusement
that the Charleston Gazette is Wis
ibfy sick oyer the possibility that
Judge Nathan Cor will be candI-
date for the United States senator
ship to succeed c. w. Watson, the
Huntington Herald Dispatch advises
the Gazette to dry its tears and put
on as brave front as possible as it
will be up against the real thing
whether Con or some other good Re
publican becomes the candidate.
Says the Herald-Dispatch
The Charleston Gazette is worried
pale and sick because there is a pros
pect that Judge Cor will become a
candidate for. the United States Sen
ate. The Gazette should dry its
tears. whether he does or does not
become a candidate, the Republican
party will redeem next year half of
what was thrown away last year in
little ut of anger. Any of the
good Republicans named by the Ga
zette is good senatorial timber.
And they're all big enough and pa
triotic enough to support Judge Cor
or any other capable man that may
be made the party nominee for the
United states Senate.

Il
Greater than Germany.
And ret our trade Ia the aggregate.
home gdd foreign, f IN al 1ilzslihocd
more than double the aggregate
home and foreign trade Of either
Great Britain or Germany.
It Is the home trade and home
market upon which the American
producer. whether he be farmer or
manufactures, is mainly dependent,
declares the Baltimore American,
Home trade Is, OF course, the funda-
tion OF business activity In every
country. but no country on earth
possesses within it's own borders the
resources for a completely balanced
home trade that pertains to the
United states. Germany and Great
Britain must obtain from outside
most OF the raw material used in
manufacturing. There Is mighty
little in the way of raw material
that we do not produce, and the
vast volume of our trade consists in
an exchange of commodities within
our own boundary lines.
The protective policy underwater
the country has almost nninterrupt-
edly operated during the last nifty
years, has not only built up this
home trade to its present enormous
proportions, but has built up the
resources upon which it is based.
The markets of Europe and Asia are
of vast Importance to the American
producer, but of minor Importance
as compared with home markets.
The food surplus which we sell
abroad averages less than one-tenth
the entire production and the manu-
featured surplus sold outside is less
than one-twentieth.

Secret of Youth.

"A few scientists have in recent
years given some attention to the
study of the phenomena of natural
death, so called. or in other words,
death that is due neither to violent
causes nor diseased conditions, but
to the natural depletion and wearing
out Of the system in age.
Prominent among these scientists,
notes an exchange, IS Professor
Adetchnikoff, president of the Pas
teur Institute, Paris, the most i'm
portant of his conclusions being
that the colon is the chief enemy
of man and the source of condi-
tions which are responsible for pre-
mature age in the vast majority OF
cases We are told that the human
digestive system. excellent and ad-
vantageous as it is in many, respects,
IS an example of the "disharmonies"
of nature, inasmuch as it provides a
fertile field for meteorological de-
velopment, the matter ultimately
weakening and poisoning the system
age has been brought about 1t ia
suggested by Professor Metchnikoff
that Tactic acid with overcome the
bacteria in question, thus providing
a common. and fairly effective REM
edy for or rather, preventive of pre-.
mature age. or course we already
know that buttermilk and cIabber
are valuable from a nutritive stand
point.
In brief, then, the problem of
youth is practically indentical with
the question of health. And If it is
true that the characteristic of youth
is activity it is equally true that
activity is a great part of the secret
of health. The failure OF many per-
sons to remain young is due chiefly
and directly to the fact that the en-
ergetic habits of their youth have
been displaced by comparative stag
