Rebate on His jail Sentence.

A San Francisco lawyer tells of the
following quaint administration Of
justice in sparsely settled district
in Arizona.
A man was sentenced to pay a fine
Of ten dollars or spend ten days in
jail. Inasmuch as he possessed but
three dollars, the court accepted that
amount in lieu Of three of the days
of Imprisonment.
Now, by some carelessness on the
part of the jailer, this person was
detained in the lookup for the full ten.
days. Naturally the man filed q claim
for redress.
When this was presented to the
court the presiding Judge admitted
that the man should have some al
lowance and return" but his honor
could not see any way to accomplish
this. But after due reflection he
made the following suggestion:
you might get sentenced again for
something. Then we could give you
three days for kind of rebate. That's
the only way see to fix up the
matter"

FIREMEN OF EASTERN
RAILROADS VOTE FOR
STRIKE BY ABOUT 81

NEW YORK. Feb. S.--No official an
nouncement of the result of the strike
vote of the firemen on the 81 Eastern
railroads involved in the present dis
pute will be given out until Monday
afternoon or Tuesday
1t is stated, however that the vote
is about 8 to / in favor of d walkout.
The situation became somewhat COM
plicated today because of the discon-
tent of the engineers over the awards
recently granted them by the arbitra
tiOn board. The engineers may eX-
press their displeasure by voting on
the strike question, which poll would
likely result overwhelmingly in favor
OF a strike.
However, it is believed that the en-
gineers will abide by the ruling of the
arbitration board and that they will
use their influence to prevent the walk
out of the firemen.

TURKS DEAF To
HOLY WAR CALL
England Asks Permit to Send
Three WarShips Through
DardaneIleS.

LONDON, Feb. S-The Turkish gov
eminent has sustained another reverse
in the failure of the Mohammedans to
respond TO the frantic appeals of their
priests to rise up against the Chris
tians. Although no date was set for
an uprising throughout the whole Mos
lem world, it was expected that the i'm
passioned speeches before the national
defense committee In ConstantinOplc
yesterday would result i'm bloodshed.
Foreigners do not fear holy war,
the old fanaticism of the Mussujmen
seems to have disappeared and the
Mussulmen regard with apathy the ap-
peals of the priests.
SO serious has the Balkan situation
become as regards the possibility of
revolution in Turkey and extension of
the war by the allies beyond the zone
prescribed by the powers, that the Brit
ish admiralty has decided to send the
entire Mediterranean fleet into Turkish
waters. A request was made to the
Ottoman government to allow the NAL
Ia squadron, composed of three war
ships. to pass through the Dardanelles,
and the Turkish embassy informed the
foreign office at noon that the minis
terial council in Constantinope had
taken the request under consideration.
The BulgarianS are reported from
Sofia to be preparing another assault
upon AdrianOple, which may take place
Sunday. The war Office in Sofia re-
ported that the bombardment of the

ton.

Sunday Lid on Tight
In Griffin Tomorrow:
No Drinks or Smokes
Grand Jury Indicts Druggists
Who Plead Guilty; Cigars and
Soda Under Ban.

GRIFFIN, GA, Feb S.-Beginning
tomorrow the lid" will be nailed down
good and hard every Sunday in this
place. The Spalding county grand
jury has given Sunday selling a knock
out blow by returning several indict-
ments against as many drug stores and
drinking places for violation of the
Sunday selling laws. The druggists
against whom the bills were returned
have pleaded guilty in chambers be-
fore Judge r. 7. Daniel, wo has suS-
pended sentence in the cases until the
August term of the superior court. The
presumption is that the judge is placing
the druggists on probation, and that if
they do not hereafter violate the law
by selling drinks and tobacco on the
Sabbath he will give them the benefit
of the law.
AS a. result of the lids being screwed
down tomorrow there is some hustling
around here today on the part of for

supplies of that kind to tide them over

USE MAIL CARRIERS
TO GATHER CENSUS,
DIRECTOR URGE s
BY p. A. CARTER.

WASHINGTON Feb. S.-That Uncle
Sam should use his mail carriers for
the gathering of the census is the rec
ommendation made by United States
Census Director Dnrand, in his annual
report to the secretary of commerce
and labor, which was made public here
today.
Director Durand thinks that Uncle
Sam will not only save much money,
but will get more accurate statistics If
he impresses his mail carriers into this
service He points out that the plan is
especially feasible in respect of rural
mail carriers. He says the chief OBJ
lection to the presrn. system is that
the supervisors and enumeratots are
almost entirely Inexperienced in the
work.
Regarding the cost of the thirteenth
decennial census, the report states that
the grand total expenditure from July
1, 1909, to June 80. 1912, was $15,171.-
500; of which S7,223,SS5 was expended
for field work (salo ries of supervisors
and enumerators. etc) s6,271.446 for
compilation and publicat ton of statis-
tics, and $1,676,762 for annual and other
investigations of the permanent bureau
of census not connect-l with the de-
cenniai census, The total appropria-
ton, receipts, etc, were $15,175,4S7.

Question of Patriotism,
Not of Party.

Senator Borah, of Idaho declared
that the support and maintenance of
the navy at a high standard was a
question of patriotism in which there
ought to be unanimity of action, and
no party differences. Said he:
The people who live in the great
mountain and intermountain states of
the far West are quite as enthusiastic
over the American navy as those resid =
ing along the seacoast who daily see
these great fighting machines the
greatest arm of the nations defense in
time of war with a foreign power.
These people of the West are not
asking that niggardly policy be pur-
sued. They want to see a navy great
enough to protect properly the inter
ests of the whole country and strong
enough, should the need ever come, to
respond in true American fashion.
Il shall vote for two battleships, and
] believe the majority of the senate will
vote that way. The American navy is a
national institution, and, like all Amer
lean institutions, / would make it the
model of it's kind for all the world"
