Hickey Is Censured.

Little Rock, July 29.-The re-
port of the court martial which
heard the charges against Cap
tain Hickey, the deposed officer
Of the JOneSborO company, has
at last been filed with Gov. Flu
trell. He is considering it care
fully, and will probably order it
approved and filed with the re-
cords of the guard.
According to the evidence pre-
scented before the court of IN
quiry, Captain Hickey was dis
courteous TO officers Of the coun-
ty and town at Fordyce, when
negroes were attacked and beat
en- up, presumably by members
of his company, who had stopped
at that town a short time on
their way to the annual encamp-
ment in Alexandria, La. Hick-
ey according to allegations,
"cussed" out the officers and
stated he would not submit to
the placing Of his men under ar
rest. Hickey was stripped of his
shoulder straps by Gov. G.. w.
Donaghey, who made an investi-
CATION at the time. He demand
ed a court martial, but it was
not given until the petition was
presented to Gov. Futrell. When
lit was decided to hold the hear
ing in Fordyce, Hickey declined
to be present.
The hearing approves the
finding of Gov. Donaghey. 1t
condemns the actions of Captain
Hickey, stating that he usurped
charge of the train carrying the
soldiers south, and also censured
the superior officer who permit
ted him to do it. Hickey is fur
Their condemned for permitting
his men to have intoxicants, it
being shown that large amount
was placed on the car for his
company at Pine Bluff. Hickey
is further censured for attend
ing church, bearing arms. The
report also recommends greater
discipline in the handling of
state troops in the future.

Aged Eggs Go On Sale.

Trenton, N. j., July 29.-Fro-
zen eggs seized by federal in
spectors three years ago as unfit
for food which have been the
subject of much litigation, were
released for sale today by the
State Board of Health. Mem
bers of the board, after hearing
an expert testify that the eggs,
although now nearly four years
old, we're still fit for food a week
ago, performed the official task
Of eating foodstuffs made fro
the eggs.
They were taken to the state
laboratory, where custard pie,
cake and ice cream were prepar-
ed. Today they gave the pro-
duct q clean bill of health.

Power To Compel A Show
Down.

If Arkansas had a modern e.
lection law, resuiring a double
set Of judges and clerks and
compelling the giving out Of re-
turns as soon as the votes were
counted, the recent wrangle in
the Democratic primary would
have been impossible. Every
body seems heartily in favor of
a revision of the election laws.
The matter should be brought to
the attention Of the next legis-
lature by the newspapers Of the
state and q campaign waqed I'M
til such a law is enacted

good as far as it goes, but moth
ing is going to stop the party

Guard Inspection To Be Made.

Special 10 Independent.
Little Rock, July 30.-Gov. J.
NJ. FuJrell has held a long con-
ference with Capt. 4. +. Sloan,
I. s. A, who is assigned to du-
ty with the Arkansas National
Guard, and received his report on
the Washington trip, and learn
ed what is necessary for Ark
ansas 10 maintain its Guard.
Capt. Sloan stated he was ready
to start al an hours notice, to
make a second inspection of the
property neld by the Guard, but
Governor Futrell desires first to
give the companies a little add
tional tine in which o &c scmb
scattered equipment back to the
arm0rieS. For this purpose Gov
+ utreIl VIII require staff OfhclalS
to visit the different companies
and force them to search the To-
cality for missing articles, in or
der that everything possible
may appear on the credit.
In the future, those who have
Guard equipment will be held re-
sponsible for it, and if they fail
to return it, will be prosecuted.
No one will be permitted to take
guns or uniforms from the ar
mories, and the armories must
be places where all equipment
will be safe. The companies will
be forced to drill at regular
times, and reports showing the
number of men at drill, as we'll
as officers, must be filed weekly
with the office Of the Adjutant
General.

To Determine Proper Credit.

T. w. Shockley Of the Nation
al Rating League, is in town, in
terestlng the merchants and
doctors, organizing a league of
business men for protection
against the poor pay debtor.
The work is similar TO Brad
street or Dun. Where Brad
street or Dun protect the whole
sale house against the poor pay
merchants, the National Rating
League protect the merchant
and doctor against the poor pay
debtor, thus each merchant and
doctor from now on can turn 20
a book Of credit guide ana see i
one is worthy Of credit.
This system will save all n1er-
chants and doctors from getting
beat any more by people going
from one store to another or
from one town to another to get
rid of paying their Just debts.
However, it is impossible for
any honest person to get their
name on the list, as they give
each debtor chance TO pay an
account beforehis name isprint-
ed in g book. This system is
covering the United States. 1t
does not matter where one
moves to they cannot escape
this book unless they pay their
debts. Many of the merchants
and doctors in Newport have al
ready become members OF the
League.

WANTS THIRTY
DAYS RESPITE
For Odus Davidson In Order to
Perfect Appeal to Highest
Federal Court.
Special to Independent.

Spec4cI 10 independent.
Little Rock, July 3O.-Judge
E. 6. Mitchell Of Harrison, coun-
sci for Odus Davidson, sentenc-
ed 10 hang August II, has writ
ten to Gov. J. NJ. Futrell, asking
Tor respite Of 80 days in order
that he have an opportunity Of
taking the case to the I. s.
Court Of Appeals.
Davidson was convicted of
the murder of Ella Barham. in
Boone county, last January. The
crime was q most brutal one,
victim being assaulted. then cut
to pieces, and hogs had partial
~ devoured the body before it
was discovered by dogs accom-
panying a coon hunting party.
The feeling was so strong
against Davidson. that it was
feared he would be lynched if
present when the verdict was
rendered. For this reason he
was spirited away, and lodged
in the Jail at Berryville, not be-
ing in the court room when the
verdict was handed in. This
was made the basis for a de-
mand for a new trial in the Ar
kansas Supreme Court, but the
lower court verdict was sustain
ed.
Judge Mitchell contends that
the rulings of the United States
Supreme Court were reversed by
the Arkansas court, in making
its decision. Judge Mitchell
claims that he will be able to
sustain in the higher court that
a trail "before bowling mob is
not due process of law" He
asks for the continuance in Or
der to reach Justice Willis Van
deventer of the United States
Supreme Court and present his
petition for an appeal before
him.
The attorney for the condem-
ned man states that he sup
posed he had plenty of time in
which to apply for the writ of
error, but has been informed
that all the members of the
court have left Washington, and
Justice Vandeventer has been
designated as the one who must
pass upon all such applications.
Justice Vandeventer is now in
Michigan, but Judge Mitchell
states he is leaving soon for
other points, and he fears the
iurist cannot be reached in time
to grant a stay of execution be-
fore August IL, '""
Gov. Futrell will announce
some action within the next few

Mrs. Aaron Atkinson, a former resi-
dent OF Mansfield township, died at
Trenton, on Friday, aged 81 years.
Rev. James Eckersley, of Camden,
former pastor of the NJ. E. Church here,
and Mrs. Eckersley, spent several days
last week in Columbus, visiting relatives
and friends.
Efforts are being made to raise by sub
scription $500 for the purchase of IA
chemical automobile fire engine to be
used in the farming districts adjoining
Columbus.
Malcolm Kerliu, assistant chief clerk
of the Post Office Department, at Wash
ington, d. c., is spending the holiday
season here with his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Israel Kerlin.
Joseph Norcross, whose barns, crops,
stocks, etc, were recently destroyed by
fire, was the recipient of purse of $3.50
on Christmas day, subscribed by his
neighbors and friends in the township.
Into the melting pot go the mistakes,
disappointments and heart burns of
1918. The churches, the schools and the
w. C. T. U. organization of Columbus,
have all had experiences worth while,
and may their resolutions for 1914 be a
horoscope of accomplishments made
possible by the omissions of the past
year.

Tripping over a guide wire that was
strung along the railroad out near the
Mount Holly bridge, Howard Fades,
nineteen years old, of Belmont and Law
renee streets, fell and broke his right leg
below the knee on Thursday.
The marriage of William Cline and
Miss Myrtle Hellings took place Christ
mas eve at the parsonage of the First
Baptist church, the ceremony being per-
formed by Rev. Thomas S. Eastwood.
The bride was attired in travelling suit,
and was attended by Miss Jennie Scott,
cousin. The ceremony was witnessed
by Mr.. and Mrs. Frank n. Cline and a
sister of the groom, Miss Lizzie Cline.
Immediately after the ceremony the
bride and groom went to their own fur
nished home at 1913 st. Mary street. The
groom is a well-known young man of
this city, and is telegraph operator for
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
While lifting a window at her home on
Lawrence street on Friday night, Miss
Nellie Smith was attacked by madden
ed feline of the tom cat variety that had
settled on the window ledge and howled
there for an hour before the young
woman decided to lift up the window
and drive it away. The cat jumped at
her face, tearing it badly with the long
claws. Blood flowed from the deep fur
rows made by the Infatuated feline and it
tried time and time again to scratch her
eyes out, but she protected them by put
ing her arms across the front of her face.
Her arms were torn in many places. Her
screams were heard by Kemp Crock, who
armed himself with a shotgun and
shovel and soon killed the cat.

Theatres.

Few musicians have the varied intel
lectual interests of Fritz Kreisler, the
great vioIinist, who is now in America
for a seasons tour under the direction of
c.. A. Ellis, of Boston. He has studied
medicine and law. He is painter of no
mean ability and gave year of his life
to the study of painting in Paris. He is
an officer of dragons in the Austrian
army, although now in the reserve. He
writes on various subjects with fluent
graceful, convincing style. He is most
accomplished linguist, speaking accent
less and idiomatic French, German and
English in addition to his native Bohe-
milan. He writes also in the languages
with absolute surety.
Musically, he is, of course, one of the
greatest violinists of our time but he is
only less great as pianist, and Harold
Bauer has said that if Kreisler would de-
vote year to the piano, he would rank
among the foremost pianists of the world.
In composition Kreisler has not done
very much but he has done vast
amount of arranging music for the in
strument and may be regarded as the
discoverer of that wonderful literature
for the violin that the seventeenth and
eigh teen century Italian composers
wrote in such quantities. Altogether,
Kreisler is an artist of most unusual ac
complishments being one of those for
tunate men to whom nature seems to
have given everything.
A season of Kreisler in America with
out an appearance devoted to recital of
violin music would not be complete, and
in accordance with the desire of his
numerous admirers, the manager has
the honor to announce a specially ar
ranged matinee on Saturday afternoon,
January 10th, at three O'Clock at the
Academy of Music, in Philadelphia,
seats for which will be placed on sale
Monday, January 5th, at Heppe's, 1ll9
Chestnut street.
Mail orders enclosing remittance will
be accepted in the order of their receipt.
The price of tickets has been placed at
50, $1.5O, 81, 75c and SOC, with box seats
at $3.50. adv

Stretch of Territory Has Features
That Are Probably Unique in
Worlds History.

Kalgoorlie and Boulder, considerable
cities which adjoin near where Pat
Hannah scratched out his nuggets in
the early days, are noisy with life and
ambition; and as lorg as the Golden
Mile fiourisnes to sostain them they
will continue to thrive and aspire in
spite of the immensely and horrible
character of the desert land which
isloates them from rivers and fertile
places and the bounty of kindly soil.
They run with the times; they pro-
gi6s themselves with comforts; they
nm3se themselves; they are adorned;
they rega:u taa1r duty to the state and
consider the future 0f their children's
children. The Golden Mile lies With
in sight of HSnnah's old chum-the
smoke and dust and black superstruc-
lures of a thin line of deep and vastly
rich mines. One of the group-not the
pride of them all-must produce $500
a day to keep the stockholders in
good humor with its behavior; and the
affection of the directors would be
largely increased-it was estimated
if a responsive good conduct should
increase even this gratifying yield to
$1,000 a day. Roughly speaking, the
Golden Mile and its lesser neighbors
of Kalgoorlie-the big shows, as dis
tinguished from the individual enter
prises scattered broadcast over the
country, which are called little shows
employ 5000 men and produce 3d.
100000 a year; and the whole field in
which the Golden Mile is situated has
from the first days of the Kalgoorlie
rush, 20 years ago, produced almost
G 100000, which, stated more i'm
pressively in dollars, amounts to $780,
00O 600. 1t was pointed out by fu-
rious young member of the labor party
of West Australia that the wealth
taken from these few miles of wilder
ness which once were public domain
equaled nearly $500 per capita of the
maximum population of the dis
trict.

Harbor Capable Of Accommodating
Many Ships, but Is Unequal to
Demand Made Upon h.

The fact that It Is separated from
the city and almost hidden Ia the ex-
PLANTATION Of the legend that Venice is
practically dead" as a port, whereas
In reality It is the second In import
ance in Italy as point of trans-ship-
ment. The port consists of two piers
least and west), OF the quays which
surround the basin. and of warehouses,
etc, at the east, but is inadequate to
the demands made upon it. The har-
Dor of Venice can accommodate a
larger number Of ships, which may en-
ter the lagoon by the Lido and Mala-
mocco and anchor in the numerous
canals and basins. The commercial
port Ia, however, much more restrict
ed, and close to the city, and consists
of three parts, the basin of st. Mark 8,
the Giudecca canal, and the maritime
station. The basin of st. Mark g,
which at one time constituted the
chief port Of Venice, serves at pres
emit principally as a passage, or at
most as anchorage for smaller ships.
The Giudecca canal receives ships of
various kinds, but generally sailing
craft, which brings firewood from
Istria, likewise ships with cargoes of
salt for the government storehouses
and with grain for the STICKY mill,
or coal and other merchandise, when
the maritime station is full.

The plant manufactures millions of truck
baskets every season for South Jersey
farmers and was recently moved here
from Frenehtown. The chief loss is in
the machinery recently installed.
There was an unusual Christmas
present that came to Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Rockhill, on Christmas eve, and the
kind that good old st. Nicholas don't
often leave. The two children of the
Rockhill family who launched out on
the sea of matrimony were Joseph, Jr.,
and Thomas Rockhill, both associated
with their father, Joseph Rockhill, ST.,
the contracting man and bricklayer.
Joseph Rockhill, Jr., and Clara Ethel
Parent, of Burlington, were the first to
wed. They were married at the Broad
street NJ. f. parsonage by the pastor, the
Rev. T. NJ. Brock. Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
Hosure, friends of the two young people,
were the attendants at the wedding, act
ing as best man and bridesmaid. The
bride wore a gown of blue silk and a
black hat to match with plume of blue.
The second marriage, that of Thomas
Rockhill and Nevada Leeds, of Mount
Holly, followed, the ceremony being per-
formed at the Brock home by that clergy
man. The attendants were Joseph Rock
hill and the bride he had recently welded.
The second bride was attired in a gown
like that worn by the bride of half
hour before with black hat and plume
of like color. The bride of Joseph, Jr.,
has lived here for a number of years.
Her father, Joseph Parent, was unfor-
tunately killed several years ago by a
| fall from tree She and her husband
have a large number of friends here. The
bride of Thomas has always lived at
Mount Holly and has many friends
there. Her husband from here has many
friends. The young couples went to the
home of the Rockhill family on Mechanic
street, where "a wedding, feast was
held to celebrate the unusual event.
The newly welded couples will live here.
