State laws prohibit unnaturalized resi-
dents from owning firearms it is said
that every foreigner in Minersville is
a walking arsenal and is spelling for
the opportunity to use his weapons.
The rains have swollen all the
mountain streams and the water is
pouring into the mines. The interfer-
ence with the pumpmen and firemen
has tied up some of the collieries and
as a result the mines are rapidly fill

to have been one of the singers, died
at the Memorial hospital from wounds
inflicted on the head last Wednesday
night by George Henderson, professed
to be her lover.
An autopsy showed that the blows
delivered had not fractured the girls
skull or left blood clot on the brain.
The family physician, said the effect
OF the blows had been simply negative
and that the whoye nervous system
had been disorganized
Miss Davis did not regain conscious
ness after the assault. Members OF
her family were at her bedside con-
stantly, hoping she might wake to
corroborate the story told by Hender-
son.
Miss Davis, it Is said, loved George
Henderson. Henderson was so ipfat-
uated with her for the last year that
he had tried often to persuade her to
elope with him. Henderson was EN-
ployed in the Cambria Steel Compa
ny's plant, but month ago gave up
his position
Miss Davis father did not like Hen
derson and many times said that the
young man was not mentally compe-
tent.
Last Wednesday night, according to
the story the police say Henderson
tells, Henderson called on his fiancee
and the two went for walk. He
asked her to go with him to his home.
His mother, Mrs. Margaret Henderson,
and sister, Fannie, had just returned
from prolonged visit to Altoona and
he wanted them to see his sweetheart
Miss Davis accompanied him, Hen
derson's mother and sister had gone
out. Henderson again pleaded with
her TO elope with him, but the girl
said she could not
Excusing himself a moment, Hen
derson went to the cellar and return

he rolled in newspaper so that his
sweetheart would suspect nothing.

club at the girl as she looked at him
Three blows were struck. Then Hen
derson went away.

DAYS DOING: At

WOODROW WILSON AEAoovAR.
! TIERS oPENED-oTHER AT
1LANTA ITEMS.

Atlanta, Sept. 1O.-Those stern and
dlgnitied demands of month ago that
the stain on Georgia's manhood be
wiped out in the eyes of the world
were they nothing after all but an
expression of impotent sentimental
,ty? They came from the editorial
sanctums of Georgia's biggest and
strongest newspapers, and they came
with a unanimity that geographical
and political lines could not touch.
A white girl had been stripped max
ed and fiogged, by white men, in the
presence of negro hackman. The
newspapers did not treat the case hys-
terically, but they demanded in the
name of decency that the perpetra-
tors of the outrage be dealt with at
the criminal bar. 1t all sounded fine
and chivalrous In the meantime a
month and nearly half have passed.
The man who fogged the girl has
never been indicted. The high sound
ing editorials might as well never
have been written. If Georgia's man
hood was disgraced in the eyes of the
world, as the editorials said, it is
still disgraced.
The affair would not be recalled at
all, after this lapse of time, if it were
not that the young woman had sued
Tor damages in the civil court.
