plant and increased facilities In June
| 1919, he made revised estimate Of
$4,000 for 1912 this amount now be-
ing recommended by General William
MI. Bixbys 1t was entirely upon the
original recommendation of SLIGO. 900 in
tn estimates of July /, 1911. that the
| brealSwater company expended $780,
GOO additional for the prompt compile
| ton of the work in two seasons,
The adoption OF $3l400, instead of
the original 100000. as recommended,
would stop the operation about Sept
| ], 1912, and would be an irreparabIe
loss and 4 most serious financial hard
! ship for the contractors; besides, by
the shoaling Of the harbor, it would
cost the government possibly s35N000
for necessary dredging in 1913 and de-
! lay the completion Of the work two
years.
Mr.. Utter said that he believed it
would be quite possible to secure the
! consent of the house to increase the
Point Judith appropriation 10 the re-
CURED amount.
Heretofore it has been impossible
10 secure more than $3140 for the
work. said Mr.. Utter, as congress
only had before it the recommended
ton of General Bixby for that amount,
But now that the contractors have ac-
CURED new Quarries that will permit
OF more rapid construction ! think the
desired $4,000 can be secured"

MILL OWNERS HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR
 VIOLENT SCENES

Boston, Dec. 3.-The mill owners of Lawrence, and not the striking textile operatives, were responsible for the violent scenes enacted there, last win ter, according to Arturo GioVanniti recently acquitted of a charge of ac- cessory to muI der of Annie Lopfzzo, in a speech before the Economic Club.
 Absolutely without ground,'' he said. '.is all this talk of violence and intimidation by the I. W. W. We we can cripple an industry with out it.
 Where the lives of one class are in danger and the profits of another class are at stake, the question of right and wrong disappears. We stand squarely. on the fact that a class struggle exists and that the laboring class and the employing class have nothing in common so far as the distribution and production of wealth are concerned.
 Arbitation will not do for you cannot arbitrate between hunger and riches, between starvation and lux ury.
 "A crisis has come It is the old struggle between the poor and the rich. What have you done to edu- you complained at Lawrence? Who instructed them in your institutions and laws when they reached these shores? You practically ignored them. Only Joseph Ettor did that and he was thrown into jail. Instead of anybody trying to teach them, the militia were sent against them with bayonets and they were carried off to prison.''

NORRIS SOUNDS PROGRAM OF THE
 PROCRESSIVES

Washington, Dec. 3.-The Progress sives' program for the present session of Congress is to support all Iegisla- ton which they regard as for the best public interest, irrespective of wheth- CT such measures are fostered by Re publicans or Democrats, according to Representative Norris, of Nebraska, House leader.
 tsThe court and legislators are go- ing away from the idea of partisan ship, he said. ssThe day is fast ap- preaching when there will be an alignment between the progressive element on the one side and the re- actionary element on the other, ir- respective of party labels. The people are already committed to this new condition of affairs, there are some good men in public life who will still set too much store by party labels and who will not support progressive movements unless they have been O. k.'d by the party to which they be- long and blindly follow. But there IS destined to be an inevitable change.
 If the Democrats fail to make good in tariff legislation and other public measures there are men in tIa party who will break away just as men left the Republican party. De- velopments of the next two years will show conclusively just what the chances are for new party com posed of the progressive element drawn from both the old parties.''

PRIEST AITACkfD BY
 TALL, ATHLETIC W0MAN

St. Louis. Dec. 3-A mysterious Tom- an. tail and athletic, who called at the residence of the Rev. Timothy Demp- sey, pastor of St. Patrick's church, at Sixth and Riddle streets. last night, made a sudden attack the priest.
 Without awaiting results the woman turned, ran down the steps of the priests residence, and fled rapidly south on Sixth street and disappeared.
 Father Dempsey was talking with one of his parishioners when his housekeeper told him that a woman was at the door, and wanted to speak to him immediately, but would not en- ter the house.
 Father Dempsey went to the front door which was left slightly ajar. As he opened the door wider the woman's right hand shot out and Father Demp- sey received a heavy blow in the neck. The blow startled him. but the mental efaock was greater.

 MT. Wilson replied as follows:
 mad hoped that I might forget that I am able to make a speech while in Bermuda, but cannot refrain from expressing my extreme pleasure for the courtesy extended to me and also my great interest in this city. I was 1ust wondering what would happen in the United States if every year we went over the tariff items. It would De continuous performance which would exceed all that theatres could offer in the way of amusement.
 yet l cannot help thinking that the idea is admirable because it affords the House of Assembly an opportunity to review the changing conditions.
 One member said he was sorry for so dull sitting I do not consider it SO I have been a student of parlia- nentary procedure all my. life and I admire your busfnesslike method of going through the iteris

 MT.

 War is rude and inIpolite- It quite upsets a nation. It is, made of several weeks of war and months of conver- sation.

Wilson's groom was washing the cuts in salt water when he was stop ped by the President-elect- Mrs. Smith was taken into the house, where she wes attended by Mrs. Wilson and her daughters. s

tentlary.

There was exhibited in the Eastern
Penitentiary at Philadelphia a few
days ago, six mechanical devices
which one Of the inmates Of the In.
stitution has invented. The man, John
Edwards, who is serving long term
for robbery, displayed 80 much ingen'
uity and skill in his work that the
warden furnished him with money and
gave him permission to spend his time
IN the perfection Of his inven.
tcps.
One Of the devices is burglar alarm
and doorbell. Another which the in
ventor caiIs an internal combustion
turbine" has aroused the curiosity of
prominent mechanical engineers. 1t
is operated by means of gravity and
hydrostatic pressure. A "noiseless
railroad crossing system" is another
invention, the model Of which he ex-
hibited. He has applied fer patents in
Washington.
Edwards has invented an "ellipso-
graph" to be used by craftsmen and
architects in drawing ellipses. He
showed an improvement in padlocks,
where the tensile strength of the lock
is equal to tie strength of six other
ordinary loc;'T. He has perfected an
advertising ieyice which consists OF
pieces of wopi which can be applied
to almost a. use, and upon which
pictures havG heen drawn. Among the
uses to which the broad boards can
be put is in the construction Of the

The Chronicle has received the first
issue of the Jeffersonian, paper
published at Jefferson, S. c. The is
sue is a very creditable one and no
doubt will receive considerable sup
port. for a while at least. There is
no room, however, for two papers in
jefferson and it will be question OF
the survival of the tittest, and, look
at it as you may, the death of either
paper will be a blow at Jeffersons
progressiveness. The proper thing to
do, in our opinion, would have been
to buy out the Gazette if 1t was not
representing the policies of the pro-
moters of the JefferSonian. AS we
understand the situation at this dis
tance the promoters of the Jefferson
ian are in the fight to the last ditch
for the establishment of new coun-
ty to be composed of parts of Ches-
terrified, Lancaster and kershaW, and
it seems the Gazette had not aligned
itself. Now, after all that we have
said it may be possible that We are
mistaken and it may be that there is
room for both papers in Jefferson and
that they will both receive sufficient
patronage sailing on the turbulent sea
of Journalism. We hope We are mis-
taken and here's hoping that We are.
