drafting the bill.
mo confiscation is planned and
the Japanese have been misinformed
as to our intentions. Land now held
by aliens may be retained forever

"The only restrictions are on land
to be acquired hereafter, whether by

All aliens will be treated alike under

SCORE WAS SEVEN TO TWO

TIE Columbia High School Satur-

they anticipated from Petersburg, by
the neat score Of to 2. But 70" the
merest accident it would have been
shut out for the Petersburg team,
as they had failed to get man

get Wakefield and Brown across.
The first man to bat for Petersburg
lined out slashing two Dagger and
set the fans in that town wild, as
they were calculating on a batting
festival. But they dropped a letter

the plate. Morgan was down from
Fayetteville trying to extract what
ever of comfort and hope they could
get out of the result, but they went
back home with a bad taste in their
palate. The NJ & NJ batterly for the

full percentage of what the letter in

Petersburg rooters augmented by the
noise from their county seat neigh

was hard to discern which was the
sickest crowd, the Petersburg fans or
the Morgan rooters, when the game
was over.
The day was cold and raw which
tended to degree to make the play
ing little slow, but the fast dia-
mond on which the contest was wag-
ed and the determination Of each
side to win lent a spirit and vigor
that put ginger into the players as
well as those who witnessed it. The
pitching OF Minor and the catching
of his partner was superb, while the
entire team lent them the support
expected, and whatever disappoint-
ment there was in any errors that
were made were forgotten in the vic
tory that was won.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Rpril 15.--
Henry d. Hatfield, who on April 5
declared he would make recommen.
dations which he hoped would be the
means of ending the strike Of the
coal miners in the Paint and Cabin
Creek sections of Kanawha county,
tonight issued a statement. The ex-
ecutive not only makes recommends
tons, but reviews the conditions in
the strike territory, and declares the
annual wage paid throughout West
Virginia exceeds by $434O the wage
paid the miners in any of the union
states, according to statistics obtain

In referring to the guard system"
the governor says:
There is no question but the min
ers have been imposed upon and mis-
treated by the guard system that ex-
listed at one time or another through
out the strike zone. It is not to be
denied that mistreatment has been
accorded by union to nonunion min
ers within and without the strike
zone"
Regarding the recent battle at
Mucklow between the miners and
guards Of the Paint Greek Collier
les Company he denies that sixteen
men were killed, and says that a

NOTED CHARACTER
PASSES AWAY
PROF. A. l.. MINIS DIES AT THE
AGE OF EIGHTY
YEARS.

NASHVILLE, April 15.-Prof A..
L. Minis, distinguished educator, lee
turer, veteran of the civil war, a
man of irreproachable character and
twice candidate for governor Of
Tennessee upon the populist ticket,
died Sunday morning at S:45 O'Clock
in his eightieth year at the home of
his niece, Mrs. J. P. Thomas, at An
tioch.
Prof Minis career as a citizen of
Tennessee has been long and hon
orable one. He was born in East
Tennessee in 1888. He received a
good education and for several years,
up to the time of the breaking out of
the civil war, conducted a school for
boys in Nashville. When the wa be-
gan he enlisted in Forests command
and fought throughout the struggle.
After the war he again took up the
avocation of an educator and contin-
.ued his school for boys in Nashville.
About twenty-five years ago Prof.
Minis bought a farm at Antioch and
moved there. Since then he has seen
much service on the lecture plat
form in the state and south. In 1894
he was nominated by the porulist
party for governor Of Tennessee. In
this race, in which his successful op-
ponent was Gov. Peter Turney, Prof
Minis received vote of over $4,000.
Two years later, in 1896, he was Eom-
mated by the populists and ran
against Robert L. Taylor. He again
received flattering vote. These
two races were the only ones he ever
made in politics, but he has always
taken lively interest in state and
national affairs.

LAT|MER CASE ON SLATE
Expected to Come Up Before
Senate District Commit
tee Tomorrow.

The Senate District committee has been
called to meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning. It is understood that one OF
the matters which will receive the con-
sideration of the committee is the nomi-
nation Of ]. Wilmer Latimer to be Judge
Of the Juvenile Court Of the District. A
number of protests against the appoint
ment of Mr.. Latimer have been received
by Chairman ]. Walter Smith, charging
that Mr.. Latimer has been a republican
and not a democrat, and therefore
should not be appointed to office by a
democratic administration. On the other
hand, there have been several indorse-
ments Of the appointment of Mr.. Lat
inner.
Another matter which will be laid be-
fore the committee is the resolution in
troduced by Senator Works Of California
providing for the appointment of a com
mission to look into the housing condi-
lions in the District. in an effort to frame
Works has bill before the committee
calling for the purchase and transfer
nation into public parks of Shows court
and Goat alley. Senator Jones has also
introduced bill which would prohibit
dwellings along alleys or interior courts
in the District.
The committee has before it a large
number of bills introduced since the
opening of the special session. but Chair
man Smith has already announced that
very little legislation for the District
would be attempted during the present
session Of Congress. If any senator has
q particular measure in which he Is In
terested, and urges that early action be
taken. however. the committee probably
will give 1t consideration.

STEWARDS THROAT SORE
Court Gunman Gives That as
Reason for Not Discuss
ing Shooting.

Pleading that he had a sore throat
Ray M. Stewart. who attempted to shoot
up Criminal Court No. last Monday,
today refused to discuss his conduct at
that time with Assistant United States
Attorney Harvey Given. Stewart was
brought to Mr.. Given's office from the
jail this morning. and the assistant
United States attorney questioned him
for about fifteen minutes. The prisoner
was steadfast in his refusal to talk
Owing to the stress of other business.
United States Attorney Wilson will not
be able to present to the grand jury this
week the testimony concerning the at
tempt Of Stewart to shoot up Criminal
Court No. 1 Monday. The evidence, how
ever, Mr.. Wilson stated, would be SUBJ
mitted to the grand jury during the sum-
mer.
The United States attorney will prob
ably acquiesce in the suggestion of At
torney Matthew f. O'Brien. representing
the youth. that two physicians employed
by the government make a careful ex-
animation into the mental condition of
Stewart. Mr.. O'Brien, in a statement
issued yesterday. agreed not to seek the
release of the youth on bail during the
recess fthe Criminal Court He also
stated that the finding of the lunacy
experts would not be questioned by him.
Under this condition of affairs it is
probabl that Stewart will not again be
brought to court until next October.
Should he be found to be insane, his
Incarceration in the government hos
ptal would be ordered by the court. If
the doctors. however, declare him re-
sponsible for the sensational shooting in
the courtroom and the grand jury should
return an indictment, Stewart will be
called for trial early in October.
A conviction on an indictment charging
assault to kill would render the boy
liable to a sentence Of fifteen years i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary. The crime
of attempted robbery. of which he was
recently convicted, carries a maximum
punishment of only three years In the
penitentiary.
