Selma. September 22.-1Special.)- The democrats of Dallas county are we'll pleased with the manner in which the voters have contributed toward the campaign fund of the democratic party. The voters of Dallas county were only asked to contribute $500 toward the fund which was apportioned to be raised in the state and beyond that amount has already been sent to help defray the expenses of the campaign Contributions are still being received by the officers of the Wilson and Mar shall club.
 Through the regular channels of the Wilson and Marshall club of Dallas county $500 has already been forward ed to National Committeeman William D. Jelks. Since that amount has been forwarded the officers of the club have received additional contributions of more than $15. This together with two individual contributions which are known to have been forwarded to Rolla Wells, treasurer of the national com mittee, will swell the fund from Dallas county to $500.
 1t is figured that when all contri- buttons have been received the amount will average better than 20 cents for every white voter in the county.

TROOPS TIGHTEN
 LINES IN STRIKE Martial Law Territory Is Divided Into Two
 Zones

Charleston, W. Va, September a. The state militia today frightened It's Kanawha county and state officials Kanakha county and state officials from Governor Glasscock down are ap- parently preparing for a long siege in the trouble zone The failure of yes- terday's conference called by Governor Glasscock to bring about some solu- tion of the coal strike in the Paint and Cabin creek districts resulted in an order from Brig. Gen. Charles b. Elliott, dividing the martial law ter ritory Into two zones.
 Martial law now prevails along the south side of the Kanawha river for eight miles between Cabin and Paint creeks and a mile on either side of the mouth of each. It reaches up these two creeks In some cases 31 miles and the mountainous character of the coun- try presents great difficulties for fol- lowing up depredations. The zone ranges from 8 to 20 miles in breadth.
 Three thousand striking miners and sympathizers marched through the rain this afternoon to Montgomery, w. Va, to hear speeches by International President J. P. White, Vice President F. T. Hays and Thomas Cairns, lead CTS of the West Virginia miners. The speakers implored the strikers to stand firm. Montgomery is just outside the martial law territory and no attempt was made by the state authorities to prevent the gathering.
 President White said tonight he saw no immediate prospects of ending the strike. Unless the operators weaken and agree to meet the union, he said the struggle would go on indefinitely.
 A trip through the district today disclosed a state of armed peace. The militia has secured the territory for weapons.
 One of the greatest grievances of the miners is the mine guard system main tained by the operators. The governor has prepared an amendment to exist ing laws which has as its object the extinction of the mine guard system. His plan, which will be submitted to the legislature. would make it unlaw- ful for any corporation. company firm or person to employ any armed per son to perform police or patrol duty of any sort In the state with certain stipulations.

TQFORM SOCIETY
 TOSAVE AWATORS

London, September 22.-The death oi H. J. D. Astley, by the fall of his aeroplane at Belfast yesterday. has given impetus to the movement to found national aviators' league. Ast- ley was the twentieth British airman to lose his life. A similar league has already been founded in the United States to control aviation.
 Astley met disaster while executing too sharp turn. He wore no safety helmet and received terrible injuries to the head. He was the heir of mill lionaire and descendant of Crom- well.
 A distressing scene took place at the Belfast hospital tonight when his wife. was was Miss May Kinder, an Amer ican actress, viewed her husbands body.
 Many of the spectators of the &C., cident are of the opinion that Astley sacrificed his life In a brave attempt to avoid colliding with the crowd. He was seen waving his hand to the peo- pie to move away and was doing his utmost to avoid them. With more space he might have lessened the shock of the fall.

URGE RECOGNITION
 OF NEW REPUBLIC

New York, September 22.--The China society of America which numbers among its officers many prominent men, today addressed to President Taft an open letter appealing for prompt rec ognition of the new Chinese republic. The letter Is signed by Louis Living ston Seaman, president of the organ ization. The letter contains the follow ing.
 May I venture to ask why there Is occasion for further delay and also whether the established usages of in- ternational law referred to by the Sec retary of State were followed in the case of the recognition of the repub = lies of Brazil, of Portugal, or Panama, or any of the IA Central and South American republics in the majority of which actual hostilities were being conducted when our executive accord ed them recognition?
 Months ago Congress passed a joint resolution without a single dissenting voice, urgently recommending the im- mediate recognition of the republic"

APPROVES
 ATTITUDE OF U. 5. No Annoyance at Latest AdmOnitiOns to South
 ern Republics

London, September 22.-CSpecisL) )--No annoyance is exhibited anywhere in Flu rope, not even in Spain, over the latest rectly by the Washington government to Mexico. Nicaragua and Cuba. On the contrary, the prevailing sentiment is one of approval.
 European capitalists with investments in any of the republics south of the Rio Grande long have chafed at the confu- sion created by local politicians for selfish ends, and would welcome the applica- ton of strong hand.
 A London financial paper Is "astounded at the forbearance of the Americans in their dealings with the Mexicans-a for bearance as great as, if not greater than the forbearance shown by Mckinley in handling the Cuban issue that confronted his administration"
 British and German opinion, and an important segment of French, would be entirely complainant were the situation in all three Latin states to become bad enough to compel American intervention fin some form more effective than moral suasion and diplomatic threats"
 Berlin's attitude Is notably different from whot 1t was year ago, when the United States was frequently accused of bullying programme"
 Now the trained observers of Welt Politik at the Kaiser's capital detect signs of a belated determination on the part of the Americans to enforce in the northern half of the western world the hegemony they have claimed over both halves since the days of Blaine.
 The suggestion that Uncle Sam may guarantee an honest ballot and an honest count at the forthcoming Cuban elec- tions is approved in Berlin. where the idea of black republic of Cuba" has been condemned on all grounds.
