struct the jury to acquit John e. Par
sons, Washington b. Thomas and
other directors of the American Su-
gar Refining company, charged with
violating the criminal clause of the
Sherman antitrust law in closing the

pany. The trial therefore proceeded.
AS soon as Judge Hand announced
his decision, Delaney Nicoll, counsel
for he defense, called as his first
witness, Thomas c. Harmed, who I'M
til week or two ago, was one OF
the defendants. Mr.. Wise wanted him
as a witness and asked Judge Hand
to instruct the jury to acquit him so
that he could give testimony. This
was done, but Harmed threw little
light on the case.
Mr.. Nicoll declared he would put on
the stand John E. Parsons, the So
year-old defendant, to tell the real
story Of the loan.

owner Of several stone quarries, sail
he had met Segal in Philadelphia in
1894, when S'egal was building the
Metropolitan Sugar Refinery near the
city Of Yonkers. At that time and la
ter, he said, Segal told him of His
plans to build another refinery in
Philadelphia, which he intended to
sell to the trust.
David S. Stetson, author Of the
Dear Wash" letters, was the next
witness. Stetson said that Segal
wanted him to sell the Philadelphia
refinery for 100000 but that he was

sion in the mine of the Jed Coal and
Coke Company at Jed, six miles south
of aero, today imprisoned seventT-nine
men, of whom up to noon ten had been
taken out alive and one dead. Res
clIing parties are trying to reach the
other miners. There are hopes that,
with a few exceptions, the remaining
sixty eight may be recovered alive.
Little Hope Held Out.
The bodies of four miners had been
taken from the Jed coal mine up to b
o'clock this afternoon and ten mep
had been rescued alive. 1t was re-
ported at this hour that there were
ninety three men in the mine at the
time of the explosion, which is be-
lieved to have been due to gas. The
government rescuing men who arrived
here late today believe that few OF
u e remaining men in the mine are
now alive.

Secretly GRAY
IS INVITED 7 D
DELIVER TALK
AT MEETING TO BE HELD TUES
DAY TO ORGANIZE NEW
COMMERCIAL BODY.
Secretary of Savannah Chamber of
Commerce to Discuss Benefits of
Such an Organization-3usin
Men are Interested in the Meeting.

Practically every business man in
Brunswick who was seen yesterday by
a News reporter and asked his opin-
ion on the subject, agreed that the
move made by city council Monday
night for the organization of a cham
Der of commerce with paid secre-
tary was one of the greatest steps
cent years, and that the undertaking
will finally develop at the meeting on
Tuesday there is no doubt.
1t is believed that every business
man now sees the need of a real, live
commercial body in Brunswick and is
ready to join in and lend MS aid to
make it a success.
The meeting Tuesday afternoon will
unquestionably be one of the largest
of the kind ever held in the ciCy. Aid
.erman Hopkins, who introduced the
resolution, calling for the meeting,
yesterday wrote to Secretary J. F.
Gray of the Savannah chamber of
commerce and also a member of the
Georgia railroad commission, extend
ing him an invitation to come to the
city on Tuesday and address the
meeting, and it is expected and hoped
that Mr. Gray will accept the invi
tation, as he is in position to tell the
business men of Brunswick just what
the value of such an organization is.
In the event Mr.. Gray finds it i'm
possible to be here, efforts will be
made to secure some other speaker.
The effort to organize this new
commercial body is not being opposed
by The members of any of the other
similar organizations in the city; in
fact the great majority of them are
strongly endorsing the movement and
many think that the new body should
be consolidated with the board of
trade, which has been in existence
for many years, and which, though it
has Eeen a dead organization in re-
cent yeas, has accomplished many
good things for Brunswick.
The success of the new move, how
ever, depends a great deal on the
meeting Tuesday; therefore it is the
duty of every business man to be
pres 9nt. 1t will be meeting merely
to lis :lss The proposition, to devise
ways ana means for the finances nee
essary to maintain it, ETC., and to
elect temporary officers.

SOON TO BEGIN
RAILROADS, WHOLESALERS AND

ON SATURDAYS.

Effective the first Saturday in April
all abroad warehouses, wholesale
houses and others which adopt the
summer hours, will begin closing at /
o'clock every Saturday afternoon and
the 1ule will remain in effect until Oc-
tober l.
These Saturday hours were adopted
several years ago and they have al
ways proved very popular TO the
clerks, who are given Saturday after
moons off, while the patrons of the
various places are not inconvenienced
at all.
A move has been started, which
may materialize, among the mer-
chants of the city, to close their
places of business one afternoon each
week at l o'clock. Friday is the day
that has been suggested and efforts
are now on foot to get all the mer-
chants to go into the agreement.

PAUL GILMORE LAST NIGHT.
He Was Seen in the Mummy and
the Humming Bird"

Paul Gilmore, as the star in ''The
Mummy and the Humming Bird was
the attraction at the Grand last
night. A fair sized audience was
present to see the performance.
Mr.. Gilmore is no stranger to this
city, having made many friends on
his previous visits here. He has lost
none of his rare ability as an actor
in recent years. He moves through
the four acts with all of his old-time
effectiveness and poise, having for
gotten none of the finer points which
made notable his original production
and having realized new possibilities
in lines and action.
The cast which supports him, how
ever, is not as strong as previous
ones. Miss Kathryn Hutchinson, the
leading lady, handled her part very
WELL but none of the Others can
hardly be compared with the cast
seen with Mr.. Gilmore a few years
ago. . r s%st&y
The play itself has been slightly
changed, but b2rdly enough to be no
ticed. 1t is an interesting story, dis
tinctly on the order and shows
broadly what coolness and a level
head can accomplish in cases whore
the average mind, in the heat of pro-
vocation, would irrevocably overreach
ITSELF 1t teaches, too, a very good
lesson in more than one way, and the
Mummy and the Humming Bird"
will always be an attractive play.

hands and feet in pitching it, the
pitcher also uses his tongue. This
enables the ball to sidestep and
otherwise elude the batter so adroit.
ly that the latter generally beats the
atmosphere for several yards around
into creamy froth with his bat
while attempting to hit It.
Two kinds of deliveries are used by
modern pitchers-the wet and dry.

sion here to decide upon the numer.
GUS protests filed. Action upon this
question will be taken on Monday
and, whatever the decision may be, a
tremendous protest from one side or
the other Is certain to result.
The question came up today when
the protest of the Taft representa-.
tives against the seating OF the two
delegates from the Fourth California
Congressional District, Roosevelt men,
was presented. The convention call
was for the election Of two delegates
to the convention from each Congress
sional district. The California prima.
ry law provides that the candidate
who secured majority or plurality
of the votes should have credited to
him the entire State delegation and
under this law were issued to the
Roosevelt delegates from the Fourth
their certificates of election, although
in that particular district the Taft del.
egatcs had small majorities. The Taft
representatives claim that the dele.
gates with majorities should be seat
cd, irrespective of the requirements of
the Call1ornla law.
Three States Affected.
The right OF State to legislate so
as to alter the National party rules Is
thus questioned and into the question
comes the standings OF the entire
State delegations from California. Or
egon and North Dakota.
Sergeant.at.Arms Stone, named by
Chairman Now to take charge Of the
convention, today appealed to the po'
lice authorities for sufficient police
guard for the National committee and
for the convention, to protect the com
mitteemen and the delegates from the
lntimidations threatened by the back
ers of Mr.. Roosevelt.
There shall be no rough house
here and no demonstrations that shall
interfere with the serious work of the
convention" declared Mr.. Stone. when
filing his request for police.
Senator Dixon, when questioned re
garding the intimidations feared by
Sergeant. alarms Stone, refused to
discuss the matter.
