to starve out the assassins. BY this
method they hope to cut off food sup
plies and probably medical assistance.
1t was reported today that a physician,
a friend of Sidna Allen, stole out and
dressed his wounds Saturday. Allen
himself was reported to have been
seen coming down the trail from
Squirrel Spur yesterday. The posses
beat the bush about Wards Gap and
Harper's Gap, but did not find a trace
of him.
Jack Allen, one of the brothers who
did not take part in the courthouse as
sassinations, came into town yester-
day to consult lawyer about the at
tachments authorities are making on
sidna's and Floyd's property. Allen
galloped up to the courthouse and ere
ated a furore. The townsfolk thought
he was heading another raid.
He said his brothers probably had
shot in self-defense and would fight to
the last ditch.
Sidna's wife came to town in a rick

former visits. She wanted the prose

About 100000 worth of his property
has been tied up for the heirs of his
victims.
Telephone wires haven't been cut as
reported. Ella Wilcox and her sister,
the operators, refused to take fright at
the Aliens, and have been sticking to
their switchboards night and day. A
day or two before the shooting, one of
the Aliens called for a number, and
not getting it quickly, said to the ope-
rator:
81 guess you don't know who am.
I'm one of the fighting Aliens"
Yes, returned the country girl,
"and I am one of the fighting Wilcoxs,
and when you come I'll be prepared"

him that he and his companions in the

MORE PAY TEXTILE WORKERS.

Boston, March 20.-Withiu the week
beginning today raises in wages will
become effective which will increase
the pay of nearly 175,O00 textile opera
tives in New England. At Fall River
the $4,000 employees of nearly a hun
dred print mills will get a FIVE per
cent raise next Monday. The cotton
mills Of Chicopee, Taunton and Holy
oke, and the Worcester Wooden Mills,
have also announced a five per cent
increase, which will be in effect ".
in week.
1t is estimated that the general
vance of five to seven per cent will
suit in an increase in the payrolls u
all the textile manufacturers amount
ing to total of $5,OOO,OOO a year.
In some of the mills the raise will
be as much as twelve per cent for
some classes of workers, but in gen.
eral the advance will be restricted to
five per cent. There are about 3OO,-
600 textile workers in New England,
and eventually it is expected that all
of them will get increased pay.

McREE CASE WILL
BE TRIED NEXT WEEK.

Opelousa, La, March 20.-Mrs. ]. P
McRee, whose case will be called for
trial for the second time in the Dis
trict court here next Monday, arrived
in town from Texas yesterday accom-
panied by her husband. They will re
main until the case is disposed of in
court.
1t is not likely that any efforts will
be made to delay the trial, but it is
probable that much time will be con-
sumed in securing a jury and that the
entire week will be consumed by the
trial.
Mrs. McRee is charged with the kill
ing of Allen Garland in her home A

in a mistrial.

DEATHS AND FUNERALS.
: =~=**===***~~%~4

Mr. ]. D. Draughn died yesterday
morning at 4 o'clock at his home at
New Augusta. He had been sick for
the past ten years and had received
treatment at the hands of some of the
best physicians in the south. Repeat
ed diagnosis of his case had puzzled
many specialists and even unto his
death it was never decided with what
disease he was afflicted.
Mr. Draughn was a man Of consid-
cradle means and up to the time he
retired from active business was one
of Perry county's most progressive
and successful merchants.
The funeral will occur this after
noon at Old Augusta. Interment in
the Hoffman cemetery.

The Chamber Of Commerce

The Chamber Of Commerce opens an
other year OF usefulness with an election
Of officers and directors. assuring an ad-
ministration Of energy and keen apprecia-
ton Of the needs Of the capital. The poll
cies of the chamber are evidently to re-
main unchanged. and it will stand during
the year TO come as a factor Of wide In
fuence for the Improvement Of local con-
ditions and the maintenance of the prin-
ciples of the organic act. President Oys-
ter in his address last night gave Wig
orous expression to views which demon
strate that he stands squarely for the
proper development Of Washington and
the protection of its interests in all forms
Of legislation. His remarks on the sub
ject of the water rates and the half-and-
half principle deserve careful reading by
every citizen and should be th0ughtfully
pondered at the District building and at
the Capitol. The Star wishes the Cham
Der of Commerce q successful year and
extends its congratulations upon the per-
formances Of the past twelve months,
filled with activities for the betterment Of
the capital

The famboyant rhetoric which once
distinguished political oratory has fallen
into disuse. Fervid forms Of speech are
naturally developed only in times of crit
ical peril. What the public now seeks
is not relief from want or tyranny, but
safeguarding of conditions which the
world recognizes as enviable. and their
progressive development by fair and in.
telligent methods. All that Is demanded
of the man who comes before the public
today is a lucid definition Of his ideals
together with a frank discussion of the
methods by which he believes they may
be attained.

democracy upon the party's councils, II
held in this city, was rightly to be feared.
1t Is not under such auspices that the
democracy could hope to make q favor
able impression in appealing to the coun-
try.
Both in the location of the convention
and in the date-June 25-before the hot
test weather may be expected, the ma

cision. The prospects for the election of
the democratic candidates to be nominat-

the party has faced since 1892.

Baltimore. June Is.

Washington extends its heartiest con-
gratulations to the city Of Baltimore on
It's selection as the meeting place Of the
democratic national convention next
June. Ever since the proposition was
advanced the Capital has been heartily
In favor Of its neighbor as the democratic
meeting place. feeling that the old-time
convention city should be again honored
by the party with the history OF which
its name ID SO closely identified. Its
comparatively easy victory yesterday
shows that Its advantages wero fully
recognised by the committee. It stands
ready with large fund to defray all the
incidental expenses Of convention enter
tainment. and Il possesses accommoda-
lions sufYicient to care for large number
OF guests together with hall that will
seat 10000 people. In all material re-
spects, in short, Baltimore is amply quail

The National Archives.

The petition presented to the Senate Dy
Senator O'Gorman yesterday from the
Modern Historic Records Association
and the National Arts Club in New York
urging the erection of a fire-proof hall of
records to keep the valuable historical
documents Of the government should be
given especial consideration in view of the
Equitable building fire IN New York yes
terday It Is to be doubted whether there
is single public building in Washington
In which record papers would be safe
from destruction in the event of large
fire. The State. War and Navy building
Il almost precisely the type of the Equi-
table building In New York, a solid granite
structure with comparatively little wood
in the construction, and yet hardly to be
classed as fire-resisting, and certainly not
fire-proof. The Treasury Department,
with its great mass Of records Of all sorts,
is Of the same character. The old Int
rior Department better known as the
patent office. the partial destruction OF
which has already occurred some thirty
five years ago, belongs in the same cate
CORY. The pension ONCE Is. perhaps, more
likely to hold It's own against big nre
than any Of the other public buildings.
What Is needed IL structure specifically
planned for the safe keeping Of archives,
built with the least possible amount OF
wood. with all shelves, compartments ana
storage receptacles unburnable. with heat
suppl ed from q distant central plant, with
electric wires installed with the most
scrupulous regard for safety. and with
an administration as painstaking In at
tentiCn to the last detail as that which
Ii maintained in large safe deposit vaults
where immense sums Of money and guam
titles OF valuables are stored. Only In
such circumstances will these documen-
tary relics be secure from possible de-
structiou. In their present cond ton they
are exposed daily to dangers which prob
ably few members Of Congress appre-
ciate In the course Of their visits to the
departments they. as q rule. see only the
administrative Offices and seldom have oc-
castor to go into the storage rooms and
filerooms and other places Of deposit to
witness there the conditions, which in some
cases are shockingiy unsafe. Probably
few legislators know how extremely
slender Is the margin of safety In the
patent ONCE. and what quantities Of
valuable records are there exposed to
destruction. 1t Is to be doubted II many
Of tho representatives and senators who
visit the Treasury are aware of the state
Of the file and storage rooms. where
papers OF value are packed on wooden
shelves In conditions that are a con-
slant invitation to disaster.
A hall Of archives should be centrally
located-within the Mall-Avenue triangle,
preferably-and should be enthusiastically
attractive and dignifed, not mere steel
and masonry warehouse.
