Yancey and that this political feud has
resulted In the assassination OF Eph
fuckers son by my son. It's pretty
black story handled that way. and it'll
do me all sorts of harm throughout the
state"
They can't ignore the facts in the
case" retorted Governor Leslie In
the frst place, as understand it, your
son himself doesn't know that it was
he who shot STAN Tucker. He's bound
TO plead not guilty, and the prosecu-
tons got to prove the fact OF guilt.
In the second place. the real reason for
deadly trouble between Tom and STAN
Tucker was the story told by tat Dog
gett girl and its bearing upon their
rivalry for the hand of Miss Mary Tod
hunter The Doggett story puts an en-
tirely new light on the feud between
the two boys"
Not the way the Yancey organs are
presenting it." said Colonel Strickland.
1T only serves to intensity the original
trouble and TO make q thrilling muir

tic as well as political trimmings.
They're featuring it on that basis, and
they're going to get Steve Yancey NOM

about that want to ask you just one
question. Bill Strickland

Good God, mani" cried Colonel
Strickland How can you ask such
thing"
Governor Leslie turned to Major
Gentry Dryden. Dryden" he queried.
what would be the effect of Colonel
Stricklands withdrawal from the cam

1T would be taken as confession of
his belief in his sons guilt 1t would

you've got to consider your sons in

And now I'll tell you what your St

carrying railroads-the most potential
combination in the anthracite fields. The
Reading Company with Its subsidiary
and allied corporations, including the
Central Railroad of New Jersey and GER
tain of their officers and directors, are
charged by the federal government with
violating both the Sherman antitrust
law and the commodities clause of the
interstate act, in an attempt
to m%onopolize the production and trans
portation of anthracite.
The combination, controlling ut the
present time CD per cent of the entire
unmined deposits of anthracite and mar
keting about 80 per cent of the annual
supply, will own or control in time, if
not dissolved, the acknowledgement
warns, every ton Of commercially avail
able anthracite known to exist"
The Importance of the suit is empha-
sized with the declaration that in this
case "only the law can afford relief"
1t is pointed out that in almost every
other industry it is at least possible for
a monopoly to be broken by the influx
of fresh capital attracted by high prof
its, but against a monopoly Of hard coal,
the supply of which is limited, there
can be no such protection.
This suit is the second step of the
department of JUSTICE to solve the "hard
coal trust" situation since the decision
of the supreme court last December can
ceiling the so-called 65 per cent contracts
and ordering the dissolution of the Tenn
pie Iron Company.

THEIR PLAN is DEFEATED
HOke Smith Says Good Men for Jobs
Necessary, and They Should Be
Selected With a View to Their

Washington.-Republica attack on
the tariff bill in the senate centercd
about the provision that would permit
civil service laws to be ~disregarded in
employing inspectors, deputy collectors
and agents to administer the new income
tax laws. The Democratic majority vas
charged freely with trying to break
down the civil service laws and open
up new jobs to political favoritism."
Republican senators of all factions
united in their efforts TO have civil
service extended over the new employees,
but on the closest vote Of the day they
on defeated, 81 to 80, on an amend
ment offered by Senator Lodge. Sena-
tor Hoke Smith, who defended the bill
for the Democrats, declared it was inn
possible under the present civil service
examinations to get men qualified to
administer the income tax laws. "A
bright boy out of high school could pass
the examination" he said, "but men Of
40 or As, equipped from business expert
encs to do such work, probably would
fail"
DO you think the recommendation VI

civil service examination" demanded
Senator Root.
Il think the judgment Of a congress
man would be better in the selection of
a competent man than this examination
they have been conducting" replied Sen
ator Smith, "None of the men who have
passed these examinations are as fit rs
the men recommended by deputy collec.

AS 1t was left by the senate, the bill

D|Az CANDIDATE;
CAUSES TROUBLE
U. S. CANNOT RECOGNIZE HIM MORE
THAN HUERTA.
OFFICIALS ARE NOW WORRIED
Reports from Mexico City Are That Pro.
visional Authorities Do Not Regard
Negotiations as at an End.
No Anti-American Outbreak.

Washington.-There 10 an ominous
sound in the announcement of Felix
Diaz for the Mexican presidency. To
some ears here it has a disturbing ring.
There are those who are inclined to con-
strue the declaration of Diaz that he
will be a candidate for president as a
new defiance to this government, one
that may change the whole aspect OF
the Mexican situation. One significant
argument made is that if this govern
ment will not stand for the candidacy
of Huerta how can it view the candi-
dacy of Felix Diaz in any light other
than suspicion and distrust? Diaz for
Huerta would be like swapping the devil
for a witch. Both are catalogued in
the same %blackness.
What is the United States going to do
about it? is being asked. One answer is
wait until the administrators present
program for the restoration of peace and
order in Mexico runs its course. 1t is
suggested that the candidacy of Diaz
will greatly embarass and compli, cato
our relations with Mexico. An honest
e.ection of Daz, it is claimed by some,
is impossible. To prevent a dishonest
one would necessitate a reversal of the
administrators policy of non-interfer,
ence. This brings the United States
face to face with a new problem in its
commendable efforts to save Mexico from
itself.
At any rate, some officials here are
varied at the forbidding aspect given
the situation by the announcement OF
the Diaz candidacy.
Mexico will have to settle to the last
cent for the damage to property owned
by Americans since the reign of rebel
lion began three years ago. During the
present lull in the negotiations between
the United States and the Huerta gov
eminent the state department is turning
it's attention to the immense indebted
ness Huerta is accommodating for his sue
cessors to settle.
