THROW OUT THE

Court Settles Famous Dis
pute in Four Counties.
Special BY Unfted Press v,..

Trenton, March 12.-According to
decision filed In the supreme court
today by Justice Swayze, the old
Boards OF Freeholders In Mercer,
Union, Bergen and Morris counties
are legally entitled to continue in Of
fee and transact business as the gov
erning body of the county In which
they are chosen, despite the fact that
the voters have chosen the small
board as means of government and
have elected the members OF the
small boards in each of the counties.
The opinion was rendered In the
Union county contest, but 1t applies
as we'll to the other counties.
1t Is the general contention of the
courts that while the act of 1908 is
not unconstitutional there was a mis-
take In the submission of the refer
endum and the voters of the county
voted to adopt an act that did not
exist. The Justice holds that the
only act under which the freeholders
could be elected was that of 1912
and that act was ineffective without a
thereon.
The decision will have the effect OF
clarifying the situation which now
exists In the four counties and will
permit the transaction of county
business which has been tied up since
January 1. and permit the paying OF
debt contracted by new parties and
the members OF the larger Board of

Paint Creek Junction, w. Va,
March 12:-The ethics of man kill
ing is the real issue before the mill
tary corps which is to say whether
Mother Jones, Angel of the mines, -
and forty-nine union leaders and
miners are guilty of conspiracy to
murder. The charges grow out of
the recent riot and killing among
the strikers of Cabin and Paint dis
trict. II man kills another for per-
sonal satisfaction, that's murder-as
accepted in the civilized world, but il
another man kills another in war
is that murder?
WAS the battle of Gettysburg
murder?" asked Attorney Matheny,
who Is representing the miners.
That's the defense of the men on
trial. 1t has been war and not mur-
der in West Virginia, they contend.
The governor In three proclamations
of martial law called it war The
violence was aimed against a system
and not against individuals" said
Matheny. Mine guards were killed
as the representatives of the system.
The system invited warfare by plac-
ing machine guns on the hills. 1t
challenged the manhood Of man by
the condition 1t created. Whatever
happened were acts OF war and that
a state OF war existed was recognized
by the governor himself. These acts
cannot be judged by the ordinary
rules of law or morality. Killing Is
not to be condoned. But was this
murder in the legal sense?"
three weeks OF confinement seems
to have broken the robust health Of
Mother Jones, but her spirit remains
unbroken. She still maintains her
defiant attitude, refusing to consider
herself a prisoner or as being ac-
cused OF having violated law.
Mother Jones today pointed out that
the prosecution attempted yesterday
to force one Of the defendants to
testify against himself as one of the
chief reasons for being allowed
trial by civil authorities.
