SUPREME COURT GRANTS
WRIT IN FAVOR OF GUARD

Charleston, w. Va. Sept 25.--
There is no change today in the stu
alton in the Paint Creek coal fields.
Since Adjutant General Elliott divid-
ed the territory into two sections, the
militia seems to have a better grip
on the situation. All are now await

This was on the application of w. Y.
Tucker, now serving a one-year peni-
Tertiary sentence that was imposed
by the minitary commission.
Tucker, a nonresident of West Vir-
ginia, was an unlicensed armed Bald
win-Felts guard employed in the
strike area. The Baldwin agency is
making the effort to secure his re-
lease. His attorney, Judge j. M. San
ders, of Bluefield. filed his petition
for habeas corpus on the averment
that Tucker was incarcerated without
due process OF law in contrayention
of the State and Federal Constitution.
The strike situation is reported to
be maintained indefinitely in the
strike district unless there is some
afi'ort OF consolidation bat,yaap tha
warning forces, and part of the
troops may be removed at any time,
although there are barely enough mil
itiamen to guard the properties of the
coal companies. The daily cost of
the soldiers, about $500, is meet
ing serious objection from some quar-
ters.
Notwithstanding the industrial con
ference held here last Saturday prov
ed fruitless, another Statewide con
ference will be called to meet at the
Capitol to consider labor legislation.
The call was issued today and it is
proposed to draft bills covering a
workmens compensation act, mini
mum wage scale, old-age pensions,
child labor and the amelioration of
the guard system, the initiative, ref
erendum and recall and to empower
the Governor to remove from Office
sherifts, prosecuting attorneys and
justices OF the peace who fail in the
enforcement of the laws The con.

not to resort to violence and deelar

clergyman in regard to sickness of one of
his children from which quote as follows:
Sour two-year-old baby was very sick
at two different times and we came near
losing her. We had the best doctors,
but they did not know what the trouble
was. In the first sickness she had high fever
I for several days, and the doctor said it acted
| like scarlet fever, but as there were no other
cases he did not think it could be. After
wards she broke out in rash all over her
body. The last sickness was similar and
the doctor was puzzled. She was very
nervous and we feared we would lose her.
Your DR.. True's Elixir was recommended,
and after two days use she passed several
worms from two to three inches in length,
and is now we'll and strong and sleeps at
nights withoutfretting, tossing and starting
lin fright as she did formerly"
; l will be glad to furnish this clergy
mans name and address to anyone who
fcares to write to me.

fremedy for all stomach and bowel troubles.
Purely vegetable, pleasant to take and
entirely harmless. Expels stomach worms

The Saloon Keepers, Black or White.

The saloon has no more place in the
business life of the country than has
the smallpox or cancer" declared Rev.
Dr. Herbert S. johnson in recent ad-
dress on "Jack johnson, the Pugilist
and Saloon Keeper" at the Warren
ave: Baptist church, Boston.
In this address upon the fall of Jack
johnson, the worlds most famous pugi-
list and saloon keeper" said the preach
er, II wish to state distinctly that l am
making no attack upon the colored peo-
pie. The fact that johnson is a colored
man, II 1t has any bearing at all, can
we'll be urged in eXtenuation rather than
IN condemnation.
1.-The colored people of this country
were brought here against their will If
now and again we find examples of moral
lapse, we may well remember that the
slaves learned in the school of vice that
was taught by their white owners and
masters.
"At the same time, can sympathize
with their feeling that the City Council
OF Chicago are drawing the color line in
their eXtravagant eXcoriation of Jack
johnson. The colored people of this
country may well ask the question WHY,
if the City Council of Chicago is so de-
slrous of Furnishing saloonkeeper who
is colored man, they do not exhibit that
same spirit toward the white men in the
city of Chicago whose sins and crimes
against the people are 100 times as bad
as those of Jack Johnson.
"Within the past few days a young
man in the city of Boston under the in
tluence of liquor, by his own confession,
strangled his aged mother to DEATH An
other half-submerged himself in water
in an attempt at suicide.
"a little north of US youth % years
old and under the influence of liquor
kept his mother in terror for two hours
at the pistol point. He then shot a
sheriff, perhaps mortally.
Let US not blame Jack johnson over
much. We ourselves are engaged in the
same business in the city of Boston,

flames were approaching the gasolene tanks
When these exploded the flames spread rapid

the help of others who went to the rescue, but
the boat is practically total loss and both en-

A CLOSE SEA RACE.

Two Four-M Masters In Nip-and- Tuck Sailing
Match, Jacksonville to Boston.
BOSTON, Oct. 81. One Of the most re-
markable sea races between large YES
sells ever recorded ended yesterday when
the four-masted schooners Lewiston, of
Boston, Captain CHM, and the Augusta
W. Snow, Of Bangor, Capt. Armstrong,
dropped anchor in the harbor side BY
side. Oct. 21st both schooners left Jack
sonville in tow of the same tug, which
dropped them off the bar, about 20 miles
from the city. That night the schooners
parted company and for 900 miles did not
come within sighting distance of one an
other.
Tuesday, when eight miles off Great
Round Shoal, they came within sighting
distance again, and continued the race
around Cape Cod and into the harbor.
They were both picked up by tugs yes
terday morning. They were SO close
when the outer light was reached that
the crews were talking together. The
Mary Arnold hooked onto the Lewiston
and brought her in through Broad Sound,
reaching her anchorage in the upper
harbor just 10 minutes before the tug
Bronx came in with the Snow towing
astern.
Every trick known to seafaring men
was brought into play by the shippers of
both vessels to reach here first and the
crews Of each craft were confident that
their vessel would win the race. The
schooners were headed for the Gulf
Stream, where their speed was greatly
accelerated by the swift current. The
amazing feature of the contest was the
fact that the vessels were so long out of
sight of one another, notwithstanding
the fact that they sailed over almost an
Identical course.

DOES A HEN PAY HER BOARD?

DUES A HEN fA1 bOARDs
"Poultrymen are now debating wheth-
err the hen or pullet is capable of the
greater egg production. There is good
argument on both sides.
"Some claim that, while hens lay less
than pullets, they lay larger and heavier
eggs, and because of this fact, the eggs
command better price than those laid
by pullets. This is true, but in many
sections of the United States eggs are
sold without grading, and consequently,
the small egg is able to command as good
price as the larger one.
''Others are in favor of pullets, be-
cause they lay SO many eggs which,
they claim, possess a better flavor than
those laid by hens. No one disputes
the fact that pullets lay more eggs than
hens.
"The question of which is the better,
hens or pullets,. will never be answered
SO that it will please everyone. It is
simply matter Of the likes and dislikes
of the individual poultryman.
