W|LBURN FACES
TRIAL FOR KINGS
BRUTAL Staying
Young Farm Hand to Plead
Wife of Victim Drove Him
to Deed.

MACON. Oct 1s.-The intense feel
ing over the killing of James King,
wealthy Jones County planter. which
at once time threatened to result in
violence on the part of the citizens,
has blazed forth again with the ap-
proach Of the trial of Nick Wilburn,
the stalwart and good looking farm
hand who is accused of the murder
for the love of Kings wife
Wllburn will go on trial next We'd
nesday in Grays, Jones County. He
confessed to the killing soon after he
was SUSPECTED and placed under ar
rest last December His only de-
fense at the time was that he was
goaded to do II by Mrs. King, with
whom he had been infatuated for
months. Whether this will remain his
sole defense at the trial his. attorney.
John r. Cooper, will not say.
Mrs. King is under indictment as
an accessory before the fact. She
was reported to have admitted her re-
lations with young Wilburn and to
have corroborated his story after he
had accused her of instigating the
terrible crime.
Since then this story has been de-
MED by Mrs King, her friends and her
attorneys. Her friends are standing
ioyally by her. They declare she was
not the unnatural wife that Wilburn's
story pictures her. Wilburn simply Is
seeking to evade the extreme pen
atty for his deed by hiding behind her
skirts, they charge.
Efforts for a change of venue for
Wilburn and Mrs King have been
fruitless. Jones County citizens have
been angered by the representations
70 vi
there. 1t is probable that the hearing
will go on without interruption un-
less Attorney Cooper is prevented
from attending court because of other
business.
Mrs. Kings trial asian accessory
will not take place until after Will
burns case finally is disposed of.

IRON M0[DERS ARE
ATTACKED BY TROOPS

ERIE, Pa, Sept 6.-Serious riot
ing was the outcome of an attempt
to break up strike' of iron molders
in the several plants which has been
dragging along since December last,
Non-union men were brought in, and
this inflamed the strikers and their
sympathizers. The sheriff and the
police had not exhausted all of their
means before they appealed to Gov
ernor Tener to send the state con-
stabulary, and a protest was made to
him by the labor leaders against such
action, and, according to the under
standing reached, promises were
made through theogovernor's repre-
sentative that the constabulary would
not be sent to Erie until an investi-
cation had been made, or that con-
ditions become so serious that such
action would be necessary.
Despite the promise of the gov
ernor, two troops of the state con.
stabulary were dispatched imme-
diately to the city. Not long after
they had taken charge of the situa-
ton one Of their number struck a.
striker over the head with the butt
Of his rifle, injuring him quite serious
ly. Previous to the assault no effort
had been made to arrest the alleged
defender, nor had any resistance
been made on the part of any Of the
strikers to the orders issued by the
members of the troopers. Following
this action, the strikers became very
much excited, and the result was a
clash between the two, in which the
troopers rode roughly over the men
With their horses.
= AS a result of this action, one state
trooper was wounded and three strik-
ers and sympathizers are now in the
hospital and a score Of others were
more or less injured. The streets Of
the city were crowded at the time Of
the disturbance occurred, and it is
fortunate that nothing more serious
resulted, as the citizens generally are
very much incensed at the manner in
which the constabulary was hurried to
the scene. There was serious talk
Of calling general strike to assist
the molders, announcement to that: :ef-
feet appearing in the local papers.
The matter, however, was seriously
debated at a special meeting of the
Central Labor union and the leaders
of the strike.
"A decision was finally reached at
the urgent request of the representa-
tives of the molders that the interest
Of that organization would be best
served by not calling a general strike,
and it was finally determined not to
do SO. The situation is still critical
and probably will remain 80 as long
as the constabulary is on. the scene,
as their presence in various places of
the state where difficulties have ex-
listed heretofore has promoted trouble
by their extremely arbitrary and ILL
considered action. The men are more
determined than ever to continue the
struggle until successful results are
obtained.

The first car over the road was
started on Dec. %, 1912, from Kear-
ney and Geary streets. To the din of
shrieking factory whistles and the
cheering Of the multitudes the first
car went over the road with Mayor
Rolph at the controller bar.
It was great day in San Francisco
city that always gives expression to
it's emotion. Mayor Rolph dropped
the first nickel coined at the San
Francisco mint into the box of the
pay as You enter steel gray car and
out it went toward the Golden gate.
Built, owned and operated by the
people of San Francisco with their
own money, the turning of the wheels
Of the new railway represented the
most signal victory achieved In years
by the people over private corpora
tons.
Since then the Geary Street rail-
way has been extended from the ferry
to the ocean beach. It has now been
operating along this route for nearly
two months, and its profits have aver
aged $400 a day.
No one In San Francisco longer
doubts the practicability and profits
of municipal ownership Of municipal
utilities. The profits go daily into the
cash box of the city.
The bond issue authorizing the ex-
tension of the municipal line carried
by an overwhelming vote. 1t was a
veritable landslide. and the vote sur
prised even the most optimistic
friends NJ nunicipa1 nunarsh;n
The result of the election means the
people of the Golden Gate will in
time assume control Of all their pub
lie utilities.
San Francisco has shown that pub
lie ownership of public utilities can
be achieved, and the people of the
other great American cities are GER
tain to take pattern Of it.
