ALEXANDER TO
Hang MARCH IS
JUDE GRACE OVERRULES MOTION
OF SORRELLS AND SEN
TENCE IS PASSED..
WILL APPEAL CASE
WILL APPEAL CASE
Judge Grace Will Adjourn Court We'd
nesday-Lee Wimberly
Convicted.

Arkansas City, Jan. 29.-(SpeciaD-
William C. Alexander, convicted Of the
murder of J. P. Kelly at Pine Bluff
several months ago by jury in the
Desha circuit court here last week,
was today denied new trial and HIS
attorney, w. B. Sorrells, announced
that the case would be taken to tn )
Supreme court. Judge A. B. Grace
overruled the motion of Aattorney
Sorrells for another hearing, after
listening to argument in favor of the
motion by Mr.. sorrells and strong
resistance on the part of District At
torney T. Havis Nixon.
Judge Grace in overruling the mot
ion sentenced Alexander to be hanged
at Pine Bluff on March Is. In the
event the case is taken to the higher
court, he will probably not go to the
gallows on that day, as it will lrequire
some weeks for the higher court to
finally dispose of the appeal.
The decision Of Judge Grace came
as no surprise here, for everyone
familiar with the details of the crime
and the evidence, which was heard by
twelve men here last week, were con-
Sident that any eqort on the part OF
Alexander's counsel to get a new
trial would be unsuccessful.
Lee Wimberly was convicted OF
grand larceny charge here today.
The circuit court will adjourn We'd
nesday and Judge Grace, District At
torney Nixon and others here from
Pine Bluff will return to that CITY
probably Thursday morning.

ACTS WHEN LAWRENCE
STRIKERS KILL,
SITUATION IS SERIOUS
Strike Leader Says Strikers Will Use
Dynamite To Win Their Fight
-Bioting All Day.

adWfeHCe, MASS, Jan. zJ.-Ono
woman shot dead, a policeman prob
ably fatally stabbed, scores of al
legged strikebreakers dragged from
street cars going in the direction of
the WOODEN mills and beaten, several
strikers battered by poIicemen's
clubs, car lines tied up and several
practically wrecked.
These are the net results of the
worst days rioting since the begin
ming of the strike of wooden mill
workers. The rioting began early In
the morning when the strike pickets
discovered strike breakers on their
way to the mills on trolley cars.
Cars We're soon being held up and
the passengers dragged to the
streets or being forced to flee I'M
der bombardment Of sticks, stones,
and bottles, Jumps of ice and other
articles. The attacking forces we're
cheered by crowds of women. The
police, who were called to the
scene, found themselves powerless
and it was not until the military
men reached the scene and charged
the crowd with hayonets, that the
strikers were forced to abandon the
field.
At the noon hour children carry
ing dinner pals and lunch baskets
to the mills to their parents were
held up and the contents of the bas-
kets and pals thrown out and
trampled on.
When the mill day closed at S
o'clock this evening the rioting was
resumed. A mob of 1000 men and
women again halted cars coming
from the mills and firearms were
used for the first time since the be-
ginning of the strike.
The militia held aloof, simply
maintaining the lines before the mill
gates, and the police vigorously US
ing their clubs soon restored a
somblance of order. During the
fight policeman, Oscar Benoit, was
stabbed in the back and an unidenti-
fled woman was killed by bullet.
While the disturbance was in pro-
grass word came that Governor
Foss at the appeal of Mayor Scan
lar had ordered regiment Of In
fantry and two troops of cavalry to
hasten here to reinforce the five
companies of infantry on duty.
81 don't give a damn whether they
send cavalry or what they do" de-
clared Strike Leader Ettor this
evening. 1--WE showed them this
morning what We could do and II we
cannot win in this way we will use
other methods. We will have picket
lines tomorrow as We had them to-
day. 1 don't care If they build scat
folds in the streets, they will need
five million military men to Keep
back our pickets. We may use dyna-
mite that has been planted. The
dynamite of class soldiery, the
fuse of working class rebellion.
Several. arrests were made during
the day. on charges of rioting or
carrying dangerous weapons.

AN APOLOGY.

The Recorder owes ar apology to the
Diamonds and Hearts" cast, to Miss
Helen Denecke in particular and to the
reading public, for the omission of the
name of the star in the write-up of the
play last week. Owing to a rush of
work in the office, all the copy last week
was sent to another office to be set up.
1t wasn't read over on it's return, and
they might have made the most weird,
the most awful mistakes or leave-outs
without its being noticed until someone
found them in the paper. Miss Den
ecke, who is teaching school five miles
out of town, rode in regularly through
the cold weather to attend the rehears-
ais, and she presented her part in an
admirable manner.
Incidentally, this is a general apology
for all the omissions and failures of the
most strenuous holiday season to Re-
corder has eve known.

was Z degrees below zero on the 10th,
II below on the 21st, zero on the 22nd,
zero again on Christmas day, 3 below

lost life or limb or ear because of the
cold; nc injury is reported to the ban
ana crop or the CLANS or pumpkin pies;
not a single hen has suffered the loss of
her comb or other parts of her egg

The concentration Of the anthracite
industry of Pennsylvania INTO strong
and relatively few units is shown by
the fact that in 1911 nearly IS per
cent. Of the mines We're producers of
more than 100000 tons each and that
all but 3 per cent. of the total produc-
ton was from this gdoup OF mines.
According to the geological survey
the anthracite mines exclusively in the
first class-Those producing over 200.
coo tons each-yielded S7.2 per cent
OF the total output, and the l6S mines
included in this class had an average
production of 1862 tons each. In
1910 there were 157 anthracite mines
in the 2%G0,000-ton class and their av-
erage production was 1905 tons
each, in 1909 40 mines had an aver
age production Of 3S6,6SS tons each.

OLD WEDDING DAY CUSTOMS
Many superstitions Have Clustered
Around the Marriage Ceremony,
Especially in Olden Times.

Superstition lever clustered round
any episode OF life more tina that of
the wedding day, especially in olden
times.
Then it was customary for the bride
to present her future husband with a
bunch of rosemary, tied up with rib
bons, on his first appearance on the
wedding morning. This was supposed
to insure his love and loyalty. and to
make her happy forever.
still abounds that nothing more I'M
lucky could happen than for a newly
made bride to leave the church by a
different door from that by which she
entered.
Another quaint custom, for which
there is no known origin. is that
practiced in some of the midland and
northern counties. This is to ring a
merry peal Of the church bells at the
first reading of the banns of an in
tending matrimonial couple. 1t is
called the spur peal" which in old
Anglo-Saxon means simply ask"
OF curse it is well known hat it
is the height of luck for the bride-to-
to dream of fairies the night before
the actual ceremony. So much was
idea believed in that many girls
would peruse fairy tales before going
TO sleep.-Answers.

TranspIanted Rubber Trees Thrive.

Experiments covering a number of
years in transplanting rubber trees
from the original stock seem now to
have justified the efforts of the grow
ers. The former supply came almost
entirely from the district bordering
the Amazon and its feeders, but in
recent years transplanting has been
practiced on a rather large scale, the
original stock having been taken
from the old rubber districts and
cultivated in portions of Brazil remote
from the big river. One company,
during the last year, gathered 1913, $50
pounds of rubber, compared with
Al, 1888 pounds in 1910. The estimate
for the curernt year is 1926 900 pounds,
AL of which comes from the interior,
from the Amazon.-Popular Me
