SYMPATHETIC
STRIKE LlKELY
EAST TENNESSEE AND KEN
lucky MINERS MAY QUIT
WORK.

KNOXVILLE. Tenn. Sept. g
A feeling Of brotherhood that Or
gaizers are rapidly transforming into
q passion, absorbing to reports,
threatens to result in sympathetic
strike on the part of the miners Of
East Tennessee and Southern Ken,
lucky for their fellow laborers. the
West Virginia miners. It is said that
q ''walk-out" is almost inevitable, and
is expected to take place within the
next ten days. 1t is said that organ
izers are at work at Madisonyille and
Stearnes, KY, and have succeeded In
arousing sentiment among the min
ers to a degree that they are ready
to lay down their shoyels and picks
at "a words notice from their leaders.
Such an affair at this time would
mean great misfortune to Tonnes
see, 1t is said. There are thousands
of tons Of coal in the mountains Of
East Tennessee and Southern Ken
tacky that cannot be extracted from
it's bed II such q condition should oc-
cur, and it might mean something Sc
rious, not only to Tennessee, but to
the entire South.

WOULD PROHIBIT
KILLING CALVES

WASHINGTON. Sept. s.--Repre-
sentative Fred A. Britten, Of Chicar
go, will tomorrow introduce . bill
prohibiting the killing Of beef cattle
under two years Of age with view Of
increasing the supply and cheapen-
ing beef.
The number Of calves slaughtered
has increased 100 per cent in the last
ten years." says Mr.. Britten. Dur
ing 1911 eight million calves, weigh
ing $4,000 900 were slaughtered. Had
these calves been allowed to live
for two years, averaging l.4oo weight
they would have produced over M
600, 100000 pounds Of beef to supply
the scarcity now felt"

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 81. Mem.

SENDS A
PERSONAL ENVOY
HIS PERSONAL REPRESENTA-
TIVE Is COMING TO SEE THE
PRESIDENT.

VERA CRUZ, Mex, Sept. S.-Pre-
pared to play a. role almost identical
with that of John Lind, Manuel de
Zamacona, former ambassador at
Washington, sailed from there this
afternoon en- route to the American
capital. 1t is understood that he will
take up the diplomatic end of the
case at Washington Of General Huer-
ia and that he will act unofiicially as
the provisional presidents represen-
'tative, with sufficient power, however,
to undertake negotiations.
What proposals he has been instruct
ed to place before President Wilson
and Secretary of State Bryan are not
known generally, but it IL believed
that he will urge the necessity Of more
cordial cooperation between the two
governments and even recognition in
order. that the best interests Of both
Tue conserved. 1t is asserted that
President Wilson will be assured q
the good faith Of Gen. Huerta In re.
framing from becoming candidate
for the presidency. and Of the holding
of the elections in October.
1t is also expected that Senior zama-
coma will point out the absurdity,
from Gen. Huerta's point OF view Of
entering into any agreement with the
rebels, especially since the contention
|of the government is that the great
en- part Of the enemies Of the govern.
ment have no connection with any or
|ganized army Of rebellion but belong
|to-the bandit element.
The sending of Senior Zamacona to
washington is regarded here as indi
eating a desire on the part Of Gen
Huerta to entrust his case to : de-
pendable lieutenant to place before
Secretary Bryan or President Wilson
himself, instead Of having to deal
with the latter's unoficial representa-
| tive, Mr.. Lind.

LOT the REGULARS" adopted in caucus
Tuesday night, to fire" all Of the ap
pointive oficers Of both houses and
put regulars" IN their places. These
officers include the sergeant-at-arma
the journal clerks, the assistant en-
crossing clerks and the pages.
It was also decided to do some
pruning on the salaries Or the state
oficials in connection with the appro.
priation bill, 1t Is said.
! In their caucus Of Tuesday night
the regulars also determined upon
the policy Of Selling upon the rules
committees Of both houses, and max
ing them regular IN sympathy.
After this Is done IL IL understood
that their plan il to have these COM
mittees adopt q rule to the effect that
bills cannot be called from commit
tees until after twenty days. Their
idea for this is that the bills may be
kept in committees until the special
session Is at an end, so that mem
bers need not commit themselves.
Rough sailing, 1t is expected, will
be met in the senate when the At
tempt TO change the rules is contin-
psd today. Speaker White held Mon
day that It would require twothirds
majority to suspend the rules. 1t is
understood that at the regular eau
Gus Monday night It was definitely
determined to GUST Speaker White In
the senate unless the rules could be
changed. Two lights have heretofore
been started by the regulars to put
the speaker out. but upon each &C.
casion they failed to carry II to cor
pletion.

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE. Tenn. Sept. BY
the substantial majority Of 81 to a
the house of representatives this
morning adopted a resolution to
change the rules. This mems that
the law enforcement bills will be
smothered as it is taken az test

then offered a resolution that the
speaker Of the house be authorized
to appoint all Of the officials Of the
house. The resolution was then
adopted. rLe present officers will
be removed and partisans Of tie reg.
ular machine will take Their places.
Gov. Hooper's law enforcement
message, sent into the legislature
this morning is phrased in languages
OF Intensive import. He urges that
with the people 1t is the popular de-
sire that the prohibition statutes 70
main on the books; he says that only
the politicians and graftcrs In office
who benefit by the operation Of ga
looms and kindred evils are fighting
to defeat law enforcement In the cit
les and in that regard refers to the
presence in Nashville Of Mayor
Crump, Of Memphis, saying that =
''city boss OF 500 damnatle dogger-
les that would have disgraced Sodon,
is Fastening to the capital to fight
the law enforcement bills I"
Gov. Hooper repeats bis answer to
the charge that the law enforcement
bills are for the purpose OF strength
ening his machine" He again
Dromiess that II they will pass all
these measures he will step down and
out OF his once at the end OF his
term. adding that he would rather
see the municipal cancer cut out Of
the body polite Of Tennessee than
be elected governor Indefinitely"
The senate passed the new rules
resolution by q vote OF 1s.to IA. This
il construed by an to mean that the
law enforcement bills will be killed
in the senate.

SMALL KITE WITH
ENLONGATED TAIL.

The election throughout the state
today is the last act in the campaign
which has been raging during the past
few months. Tt seems to be a fore
gone conclusion tina: !. Taylor ely
son will be nominated to succeed
himself as lieutenant governor, as
will also Mr.. Williams, the present at
torney general, and Mr.. koiner, COM
missioner of agriculture, the bulk
of the voters Of Virginia, seeing no
good reason why these able and faith
full officers should be Ithrust aside to
make room for would-be successors,
whose only platform is war upon
present insumbcnts upon general
principles.
It is the same old issue-outs VS.
the ms. Richmond and other papers
have of late contained attacks upon
present officials, with the same anti
cuated headlines referring to social
ed machines" and "rings," which
have long ago made people tired,
Those engaged in this warfare have
on two occasions in past years beer
showed under while engaged in strug
giles for the United States senatorshll
On former occasions able and prom
ment men were figureheads, bu
during the present campaign thei
candidates have been neither.
Years ago a Rev. DR.. McGlynn at
tempted to gain notoriety by defyint
the Pope. A comic paper at that TIM
published a cartoon representing
dog with huge wash boiler attaches
to its caudal appendage. One lin
under the picture told the story
"Too much can for the dog" 1t look
as though the cans are too heavy TO
the candidates today.
The anti-organization forces wer
unable ito secure a standard beare
who drew any water, hence they hav
cone the best they could, and it look
as though the tail is about to prov
disastrous to the kite.

deavor to Adjust the differences be-

is in line with the other silly actions
by the United States which have been
undertaken since the Mexican sltua-

Lind, is very fine man but has no
knowledge of conditions in Central
America, does not understand word
of Spanish and has had no experience
in dealing with the subtle minds OF
the natives of the country south OF
the Rio Grande. His; mission cannot
result except in failure. The only
reason we can; advance for his being
