DIVIDED OVER THE
GRACE SHOOTING.
RELEASE OF ACCUSED WIFE ON
BOND AFTER SECRET HEAR
ING iNTENsIFIEs FEELING.
A TRIP ABROAD PREDICTED
Popular Sympathy Strong for South
ern Husband, Newspapers Favor
the Woman-Grace's Past
is Studied.

Atlanta, Ga.-The release of Mrs.
Daisy Opie Grace, charged with
shooting her husband, ond bond,
after a secret bearing by Judge Rid
ley at midnight, has served to empha
size the peculiar and intense division
of opinion in Atlanta as regards the
shooting. The newspapers are strong
for Mrs. Grace, while the people are
loud in their expressions of sympathy
for the wounded man, whose family
is well known in Georgia. Mrs. Grace
Is a Northern woman, without local
connections.
Il dent care if she is gone. It's
possibly the best thing for everybody, +"
was Gtace's response when told at the
hospital that his wife had departed
and was not expected to return. Mrs.
It is predicted that she will soon leave
the United States. Her sureties are
professional bondsmen.
Judge Ridley has been much criti-
sized for his action, but he says he was
assured that Grace was not likely to
die within three weeks, and, in addi-
ton to the bond, he has the profess
siOnal assurance Of j. A. Branch, Mrs.
Grace's attorney, that his client was
needed in the North on business and
that she will return.
The life of Grace and the verdict OF
the jury trying Mrs. Grace are bet
ting propositions in this city. Odds are
given that Grace will not live three
months. On the question of convict
ing Mrs. Grace the bets are even.
Grace's wound is similar to that Of
President Garfield. He lived about
three months and this is the limit
given Grace by those who should
know. 1t is certain the spinal cord
has not been severed, but it is equally
certain it is nearly severed and doc
tors say the breaking of the remain
Ing fibers, likely to result from the
slightest eXertion, would cause death.
In the defense Of Mrs. Grace q long
list of indignities from her husband,
demands for money and threats of
violence, are being prepared. The trou-
BILE between Grace and his wife is
said to date from a kirmess in which
both were invited to take part. They
went to the first rehearsal together,
but the second time Mrs. Grace told
the manager of the affair, evidently
with much chagrin, that her husband
declined to take part in the dance.
This investigation of the insurance
company into Grace's affairs and his
wife's check book showing the
amounts she gave her husband will be
used by the defense.

McCurtain, Okla.-One hundred and
five lives is accepted as an approx
mately correct estimate Of the human
toll taken when mine No. 2 of the
Sans Bots Coal company was wrecked
by an explosion.
OF 116 men of the day shift, only
eleven are known to be alive, while
the others are entombed behind and
below debris.
In the opinion of government ex-
perts and mine officials they are
dead, and a special train which
brought physicians and nurses from
Fort Smith, Ark, returned. Five
physicians remained with the faint
hope that some of the imprisoned
men might be found alive.
The explosion occurred shortly
after 9 o'clock. Those on the surface
heard a faint rumble and an earth
tremor. When those nearest to the
mouth of the mine reached the open
ing a cloud of dust and smoke beiched
forth. Then came tense moments of
waiting for those in the mine to
emerge.
Frank Fields, a miner, was the first
to stagger out. He was walking in
an entry and heard the explosion, he
said. He jumped into a side room
and made his way to the mine open
ing. Nine other miners escaped
through a man way" A rope
rider" who was coming to the sur
face when the explosion occurred,
was the eleventh man to escape.
The first rescue party could pro-
coed no further than the sixth level
because Of the accumulation of de-
bris, They returned to the surface
with the body of John Colwas, II
years old, Rescue work was halted
after the arrival of mine experts from
the government station at McAlester,

How She Came BY the Money.

The congressional inquiry into the
Lawrence strike has been fully justi-
fed by its disclosure of the truth rela-
tive to the 500 found in the stock
ings of a woman who had been
dubbed and arrested for disorderly
conduct.
Protection rested its case on that
$500. 1t Is true that the woman was
violent, that she was roughly used,
that at the hospital she was reported
to be poorly nourished and that she
was among the thousands who worked
long hours for less than Sc per week.
But did she not have the prncely sum
of $700 in her stockings?
The protective tariff claimed that
500 and pointed to It with pride. 1t
was even contemplating putting 1t in
the next Republican platform. It's
discovery seemed almost providential.
yet 1t transpired at Washington that
the money was a legacy just received
from some deceased relative In Eu-
rope who, of course, must have been
a "pauper laborer."
Schedule X continues to be Mhat
Mr.. Taft said 1t was. "indefensible."

The devil of conservatism has
Stubs of Kansas In his cowardly
clutches. Writing to the colonel
the grandest governor that ever
governed makes this puny estimate Of
the third-term forces: "You do not
need to speak for yourself personally,
for the public sentiment is more than
five to one In your favor at this time"
Five to one! It's a thousands to
one! Except for 5000. 900 or 7,000,-
300 Democrats and 5000, 900 or 6,oo0,-
300 Republicans, everybody Is for the
colonel. Practically unanimous.

GOOD FRIENDS OF 7. R.
"BlG BUSINESS" ALWAYS PAR
TIAL TO THIRD TERM MAN.
Well Known, Also, That the Attach
ment Was Reciprocated-lt Re-
mains to Be Seen What the
Voters Think About 1t.

The friendly relations existing be-
tween Theodore Roosevelt and the
banking house of j. P. Morgan & Co.
have long been notorious.
He appointed two members of the
firm, Bacon and Satterlee, the latter
a son-in-law of Mr.. Morgan, to impor-
tant Offices.
Elihu Root, a member Of his cabi-
net, was Mr.. Morgan's lawyer. George
B. Cortelyou, another member of his
cabinet, was highly regarded by Mr..
Morgan. Philander c. Knox, another
member of his cabinet, was an attor-
ney of one of the constituents of Mr..
Morgan's steel trust.
George w. Perkins, until recently
a member of the firm of ]. p. Morgan
& Co., is now and for a long time
has been an intimate personal friend
of MI. Roosevelt. At present he Is
advocating the third term and the
sovereignty of Big Business at Wash
ington.
1t was Mr.. Morgan's partners in the
steel trust, Messrs. Gary and Prick,
who, in 1907, persuaded Mr.. Roosevelt
to license the violation of law in the
matter of the absorption of Tennes-
see Coal and Iron, thus m~onopolizing
high-grade iron ore.
The question as to the amount of
money that was contributed by the
steel trust to the Roosevelt campaign
fund in 1904 never has been answered.
1t Is known that, on Mr.. Roosevelts
invitation, E. H. Hartman raised
100000.
Former Senator H~ansbrough, Re-
publican, of North Dakota, now adds
another chapter to this instructive
record. He says that in 1906 a young
assistant United States attorney In
his state named B. D. Townsend, pre-
pared a case against the harvester
trust and presented 1t with all his
proofs to Attorney General Bonaparte,
who said that he would prosecute, but
who never did, because, after Mr..
Roosevelt had received a call from
George w. Perkins, the Attorney Gen
eral was instructed to drop the mat
ter.
This particular attorney general is
the one who on another occasion,
when he was following a fresh trail
of the same kind, received a letter
from Mr.. Roosevelt asking whether
we can afford to throw away the great
influence of the Morgan interests that
have been SO friendly to us?"
We should think that the people Of
the western states who are not so ap-
preciative of the friendship of the
Morgan interests would be inclined to
revise their opinions as to the "neces-
sary man."
Mr.. Roosevelt may be indispensable
to some people but they are not the
millions of plain Americans who work
for a living and pay taxes.-St. Louis
Republic.

WOOL BILL RE-INTRODUCED
Measure Like Taft Vetoed Is Filed by
Observation-Disclosures
Endorsed Act.

Washington, D. CA bill reduc-
ing the duty on wool, identical with
the Ia vetoed by President Taft
last summer, was introduced in the
house by Majority Leader Under
wood. The ways and means commit
tee at a meeting Endorsed the meas
ure and determined again to attempt
to put it up to the president.
Several members who originally ia
vored free raw wool were won over
to the 20 per cent duty in the bill,
showing that the $21, 900, 1000 esti-
mated loss by free wool could not be
made up on other tariff schedules.

Unequal Taxation.

So far as the United States GOV
eminent is concerned we tax the
needs rather than the wealth Of the
people, for most Of Its levies run
against consumption and not against
property. The man of small means
and his family will use as much sugar
as the multi-millionaire, and is taxed
accordingly. When we reach for
property and incomes the demand is
distributed very differently.
