revenue officers Jno. Sloan and Mar
ion Ramey in the Cumberland noun
tains nearly two weeks ago. An ex-
amining trial was held before Com
missioner Gray Saturday morning at
which all were bound over for trial
at Catlettsburg. They were taken
thither under the official escort of
deputies Jack Patrick and John H.
Addington Sunday morning.
At the examination each OF these
men voluntarily went upon the wit
ness stand after having entered a
plea of not guilty. Adelia Hall and
the negress. supposed wife of Tom
Riddle, also testified. This evidence
was mainly of q denying order. in
which charge and countercharge
were preferred between the negress

She recounted the story Of how she

shot down, to run for his life. She
also remembered with horror the
brutal command OF David Hall to
the negro Riddle, whom Sloan was
lying PROSTATE upon the ground beg
Iging for his life to Finish him.
and how Riddle rushed forward,
placed his revolver against the
mans temple and fired two
more shots that actually did finish
him.

these men, was also an important
witness in the case. He told OF how

GREAT FIELD
FOR GRADUATES
Demand for Graduates of Agri-
cultural Schools Greatly Elk
ceeds Supply.

There may be a great many
who have the opinion that at
tendance upon, and graduation
from, the Agricultural College is
put a means OF securing a practi-
cal education along general lines
with special training in the
art of successful farming, and
nothing more. However, the
facts are that there is a far
greater demand for instruc tors
who are graduates of industrial
schools than any other, and the
demand is increasing.
The requests for capable in
structors have become so numer-
GUS and pressing that the
Bureau of Education of the
United States government has
felt the urgency of doing some
thing SO strongly that a letter
has been addressed to some Of
the leading Agricultural Col
leges of the country. calling
special attention to the condi-
tion Of affairs, and it gives us
pleasure to be be able to repro.
duce below the letter received
by President Widtsoe of the
Utah Agricultural College.
The letter follows:
Department of the Interior,
Bureau of Education.
Washington. June A. 1913.
President John A. Widtsoe,
Logan, Utah.
Dear Sir:
There is a constant and rapid
ly increasing demand for teach
sciente, and industries and
trade in the high schools in all
parts of the country The de-
,mand is greater for teachers of
one subject in one part of the
country. and for another sub
ject in other partsc But APP
parently the supply is not equal
to the demand in any section.
For this reason many schools
undertake to have work in these
subjects done by teachers who
are not prepared, and the results
are far from satisfactory. Teach
ers for these subjects should be
prepared in the colleges of apri-
culture aud mechanic arts. Most
Of the normal schools can not de
this work so well. They may
give the methods, but as q rule,
they can not give the substance,
which, after all, is much more
important than methods. | be-
lieve most of the colleges oil

might well devote to this pur-
pose g larger part Of the funds
received under the Nelson
Amendment. BY doing SO, not.

valuable service to the high

selves. The more of
lass A.Ld Oh work done in the
high schools, the more demand
will there be for it in the col
leges, and therefore the larger
will be the attendance and the
better will be the work in the
colleges OF agriculture and
mechanic arts.
My interest in the prosperity
of both the colleges and the
high schools, as we'll as in the
welfare of the country they
both serve. is my excuse for
writing this letter to the presi-
dents of the colleges. suggesting
that they give the matter very
careful consideration.

When Robert Mantell makes his
first appearance during the course OF
his present. engagement in Louis
xP' at the Cort theater next Monday
night, San Francisco playgoers Will
see again what is considered the most
remarkable feat of nature" ever ac-
complished on the American stage.
The historical Louis XI of France, the
most monstrous royal fiend since the
Roman Nero was a little shrunken
weak understood man almost a dwarf
in stature. Mr.. Mantell is a good six
feet tall and has a powerful physique
IN splendid proportion to his height.
In order to look the part of Louis he
must get rid Of nearly a foot of his
stature and so or 80 pounds of his
weight. He is said to do so in a
most startlingly realistic way.
The order of plays for the week is
as follows: Louis XII" Monday night;
Macbeth" Tuesday night; 1.-THE Mer-
chant of Venice" Wednesday after
noon: king Lear" Wednesday night;
"Richelieu," Thursday night; "Kine
