WOMAN KILLED ON
CROWDED STREET
JUGULAR VEIN SEVERED AND
DEATH ENsuEs IN A VERY
FEW MINUTES.

It was tragedy of the most dra-
matte order Saturday night between
z and 5 o'clock when Susie Hardison
slashed Matte Warfield across the
throat in front of the Red Seal Bak-
cry and the wounded woman grabbed
the knife and gave chase to her as
sailant until she fell from the loss or
blood less than half a block from
where the trouble began.
The trouble between the negro wo-
men dates back several weeks ago
when they had a personal alteration
at the fair grounds.
Saturday night they met on Main
street and from the statement of
those on the streets no one knew
what was happening until the two wo-
men went down the street screaming.
The knife that the Hardison woman
used was grabbed by the wounded
one, and but for the feetness of foot
of the former there would have been
another carving. Matte Warfield
ran from the Red Seal Bakers almost
to the corner OF Eighth street and
fell and died without uttering a word.
The Hardison woman ran on out Of
the city and then kept going until
she got almost to the Sheegog home
on the Pulaski pike, when she was ar
ested by Sheriff Goodwin and Patrol
man Lancaster. who had gone out
that way expecting that she would
try to get there. She was placed in
jail.
Her story of the affair differs from
the generally accepted facts, in that
she says the dead woman was beat
ing her up severely when she used
the knife in self-defense.

NEGROES ORDERED

LIVINGSTON CITIZENS ANGRY
OVER ALLEGED CRIME OF
plLLARD MURPHY.

LIVINGSTON, Tenn, Sept. Fol
lowing the alleged attempt of billiard
Murphy, negro, to criminally assault
Miss Nina Staley, the house of ne
gro woman, Roxie Cullom, was partly
wrecked with dynamite between II
and IL o'clock last night. The house
was occupied by the negro woman's
brother, Joe, afflicted with tuberculo-
sis, and two small sisters. One OF
the latter was seriously hurt and the
other sustained some slight injuries.
The house is located in a section
where most of the negroes of the
town live, and following the arrest
of Murphy the occupants of several
houses there were notified that II
they didn't move that their homes
would be dynamitsd and themselves
killed. The Cullom woman was one
OF the denizens of the district to
whom the notice was given, it being
alleged that Murphy had spent the
night at her house prior to the per-
petration of the offense with which
he is charged. The Cullom woman
soon after receiving this notice left
here for Algood, but the other mem
bers Of the family remained in the
house.
Two or three charges Of dynamite
were thrown under the house, and
had not the occupants smelled the
burning fuse, one of the girls would
probably have been killed, for the
bed in which she was sleeping was
demolished Remembering the recent
threats they had heard, they rushed
from the house to ascertain the
source of the odor Just before the ex-
plosion occurred.

INDEPENDENTS
OF TROUSDALE
TAKE STAND AGAINST SALOON,
BACK TAX AND HAM PAT
TERSoN.

uAHI0flLLE, Ienn., sept. 81
The Independents of Trousdale coun-
ty met Saturday In mass meeting at
the courthouse and erected G.. ID.
High chairman, and L. e. McClucky
secretary. The committee on plat
form and resolutions, consisting of
H. G. Smith, Col. w. J. Hale, T. L.
Buckingham, Ed Woodmore and Nat
Sanders, reported the following,
which was adopted by reclamation:
1--WE, the Independent democrats of
Trousdale county, in mass conven,
ton assembled, hereby reaffirm our
allegiance to the democratic princi-
pies of equal and exact justice to all
men as enunciated by Jefferson and
Jackson, and we pledge ourselves to
support Woodrow Wilson for presi-
dent and T. R. Marshall for vice
president.
I'VE are unalterably opposed to the
modification Of the temperance and
election laws of the state as they now
stand upon the statutes, and pledge
ourselves to oppose any and every at
tempt to repeal or modify them by
the saloon and whisk ring, no matter
in what garb it may be masquerad-
ing.
I'VE condemn the open and vicious
notification of the prohibition laws In
some Of our larger cities by officials
whose duty 1t is to see that the laws
are enforced, but who wantonly and
brazenly ignore the law, thereby pro-
tecting vice and placing a premium
upon lawlessness. Therefore be it
Resolved, That we stand for the
law and its enforcement. Rather than
repeal these laws we should strength
en- them. That we are in favor OF the
repeal of the back tax laws of the
state, by which few attorneys are
growing rich at the expense Of the
taxpayers, and be 1t further
Resolved, That we will not give our
support to any candidate for state
senator or floater who vol not stand
without reservation for such actions
as are indicated by these resolutions.
and, furthermore. we will not give our
support to any candidate for legisla-
tive office who will not oppose and
vote against NJ. R. Patterson for the
United States senate"
Delegates were selected to attend
the state mass meeting Of independ-
ents in Nashville the 18th.
NJ D. Hickman, Of Hartsville, was
unanimously endorsed as suitable
man to to make the race for represen-
tative against the Patterson nominee
recently endorsed by the regulars and
also a resolution was also unani-
mously adopted asking Sumner coun-
ty to put out q man for senator who
will stand on the platform adopted by
the independents. The meeting was
we'll attended and they are determin-
ed to contest every inch Of ground
gained and will not surrender to the
whisky forces now seeking to re-
peal the four mile law.

c,asvress VIII Have to Meet In Elk
NJ Session and Give Its Sanction
First--War Department Ready for
Gathering of Forces.

WASHINGTON, Sept 9.--Interven-
ton in Mexico and the possibility OF
President Taft calling an extra SEES
sion OF congress to determine wheth-
err American troops should be sent
across the line were widely discuss
ed here today by public men and In
diplomatic circles.
1t is known that the government
has been pressed on many sides to
take such a stcr and various accounts
of what influences were being brought
to bear and the objects sought to be
accomplished are related among
those interested on both sides of the
question.
President Taft and the state de-
partment, however. are holding to
principle that no such action should
be taken without authorization OF
congress. That American soldiers
have been sent into China or that
American naval forces are now &C
lively engaged in Nicaragua without
authorization of congress is held not
to be precedent for sending troops
TO Mexico. In China American mis-
sionaries were beseiged and in dan
ger Of torture and death, In Nicara-
gua the rebels had shelled the Amerl-
can legation and endangered the lives
Of American citizens by bombarding
an unfortified city in violation OF the
rules Of international law. No sucn
situation has been reported in Mex
leo.
Juan Didapp, who claims to repre-
sent the revolutionary factions here,
today published statement to the
effect that Zapata, leader OF the rebel
hands in the state Of Morelos. threat
ened measures Of reprisap II the
Tinted States were to intervene. "on
the ground that it would be impossi-
BILE for commanding officers to re-
strain their soldiers from doing acts
never done before.
CAPTAIN S. G.. Hopkins, who was
legal adviser to the Madero revolu'
ton when it overthrow Diaz today
1ikened the situation in Mexico to that
in the United States from 1861 to 1865
when this government was resentful
of prospective interference by Great
Britain and France. The Madero
government, he declared. was amena.
BILE for damages under international
law for injury to Americans or their
property while disposing OF Its own
civil war.
The news that President Taft con-
siders the situation a grave one anu
has given thought to the expedlency
of putting it up to congress - ex'
pected to bring out the usual crop OF
reports of troops under orders 70
move and plans completed by the
general staff of the army for cam
paigning in Mexico.
The general staff has completed
plans for any such emergency. Should
it arise some war department ofilcial
could wake up at night and like Won
Moltke at the outbreak of the Franco
Prussian war, send to the telegraph
wire in a moment sheaf OF orders
that would put an arm, ahorse and
afoot IN battle array.

EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL
Firemen's Ball Last Evening One
Of the Best.

The Ely fremen certainly can
look back on their eighteenth an
nual ball at the Turf hall last even
ing with pride and satisfaction. 1t
was by long odds the social func-
ton of the year and attended by a
full house-in fact the hall was too
full for successful dancing. The
crowd was good natured however
and such things as a kick and a
trodden foot was of no conse-
quence.
The decorations were of the
finest and the music was up to the
par of Lacrosse e~xcellency. Every
body had the best kind of a time
and the last numbers came all too
early. Mrs. Forceia served the
lunch and so far no kick on the
same has been heard and it is safe
to say none can be registered. Mis-
ses Quigley and Lawrence presid-
ed at the punch bowl and the little
ladies did their work well.
The decorating committee and
the floor committee are to be con-
graduated along with the other
committees in having furnished
this enjoyable event.
