ALIENS TO PAY PENALTY
IN LOSS Of PROPERTY
Damage Suits Brought Follow
ING the Tragedy in Hills
vile Courthouse.

BRISTOL. Va.-Tenn.. October H.
With the trial of Sidna Allen, chief of
the Allen clan, and his nephew, Wesley
Edwards. whose capture was announced
recently, Virginia criminal law will have
exacted all the toll it can for the bloody
courtroom tragedy of the 18th of last
March. when Judge Thornton L. Massie.

Webb and others We're ruthlesslX slain
at the hands of the Aliens.
But there is still another phase of the
laws demand which will have to be sat

tragedy. one of the masnates of the Car

up to by most of his neighbOrs as being
ahead of them from the standpoint of
business and wealth.
Surrounded by Comforts.
This home was surrounded by all the
ordinary comforts of life in the noun

reach the value of $4,000. The other
Aliens We're not worth so much as their
chief but most of them had comfortable
homes, and practically all of them were
noted for their mountain hospitality.
But this property of the Aliens. like the
men who possessed il, is doomed. In Viz
ginia there Is penalty for such slaugh-
ter as was committed at Hilsville. aside
from the penalty demanded by the crimi-
nal statutes. The civil law provides for
the financial side in the event life or
lives are taken without just cause.
Consequently. following close upon the
Hillsvil1e tragedy, three civil suits were
filed against the Aliens. S. Floyd Lam
dreth. administrator of the estate of the
slain commemorative attorney. William
Foster. brought suit to recover $4,000: :.
p Massie. administrator of the late Judge
Thornton L. Massie. brought suit for
$4,000. and j. W. Webb, administrator
of the slain sheriff. L. F. Webb. brought
suit for like amount. The amount sued
for in each case is the maximum that can
be sued for in a death claim in Virginia.
Attachments Issued.
In aid of these suits attachments We're

The present status is that the attach

MANAGERS Of RAILWAYS
PLEAD FOREVER LEVEES
Question of Federal Appropri.
alton for Maintenance OF
System Advocated.

Representatives of the southern rail-
roads who will come to Washington for
the annual convention of the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress, December
4, ) and q. are expected to take a greater
interest than ever in the questions that
will come up before the congress con-
corning the maintenance of the levee sys-
tenn by the federal government in the
south, and in the general question of the
improvement of rivers and harbors Of the
country.
This statement was made yesterday by
W. W. Finley. president of the Southern
railway. in answer to inquiries as to
what the real attitude of the railroads is
toward waterway improvement in gen.
eral. following statements made at the
levee convention recently held al Mem
phis. Tenn, which reported the railroads
Of the country as being in opposition 10
the Improvement of inland waterways on
the ground that increased water tramc
made possible by improvements would
take away from an increase i'll railroad
traffic
Railways vitality Interested.
Nr. Finley pointed out that the rail-
roads are vitality interested in having the
waterways of the country improved Tor
the reason that their roadbeds can only
continue to exist as long as the levee
system keeps flooded rivers from mum
dating them.
President Taft will open the rivers
and harbOrs congress in Washington
December 4 with an address on the needs
of waterway improvement. and the con-
vention will listen to number of other
well known men. including experts on
waterway improvement from Canada.
Says There Is Great Awakening.
Former Representative j. Adam Bede,
who has returned to Washington after
attending three waterway and levee con-
ventions this year. says the increased
attendance at these conventions this year
points to the fact that there is a great
awakening of public interest in water
way matters, and that the rivers and
harbors convention to be held here in
December will be more largely attended
than any pervious gathering of it's kind.

PAUPERS' PARADISE.
Founded by a Frenchman With q

Montfort IAmaury. about which Vic
tor Hugo has written and which is a
noted place for an annual pilgrimage.
is also growing famous as a paradise
of paupers. Just fifty years ago NJ
Lambin. a very wealthy resident of
the town. died and bequeathed his
estate and large fortune TO the pau
pers of Montfort rAmaury
They were to enjoy its income and to
live at their ease on his property. The
value of the legacy has grown consid :
erably since then and paupers are con-
stantly fiocking to the commune and
claiming the rights of hospitality.
The legacy. it Is said, was left to
! them out of spite. NJ Lambin had a
quarrel with the town authorities, who
cut down some trees in front OF his
estate which opened up view on a
cemetery He did not like the view
and objected to the cutting down of
the trees, offering very fair price II
they were left standing. The authori-
ties paid no heed to him and cut down
the trees. Then / will have my re-
venge," he said After my death
will leave all ] have to the tramps and
destitute round about. You will have
such 2 gathering Of paupers that you
will regret the day when you cut down
your trees.
For fifty years the paupers have in
creased and prospered. The land and
the fortune is not theirs, but they en-
known for leagues around, and the
happiest people in all the neighborhoOd
of Montfort are those who can call
themselves paupers.
