Turcos Dashing Charge. United Press Dispatch.


 Paris, Oct. 9.-"It was like hell let loose," is the way an off, cer of the French Zouaves de- scribes the charge of the Tur- eos, Frances black troops at the battle of Charleroi. Telling of the terrific charges of the blacks, the officer said they fought at such quarters with the Germans that many of them got hold of the noses of the enemy with their teeth.
 'When the fighting was at it's height our colonel suddenly or dered, give the Turcos free rein said the officer. Then the. avalanche began. It was like he'll turned loose. They tore along the German batteries for a full mile, chanting the Marseil- laise' but no man could hear the man next to him in the ranks so terrific was the sounding of the guns. Infantry and artillery poured shot into them and they fell by the dozen but dashed on. When they were within fifteen yards of the batteries and the Germans had ceased firing to avoid shooting their own guards. Then followed bloody bayonet fight. While Turco was bayo- netting a German and could not release his bayonet at once he would whip out his revolver and shoot another. In the meantime companion at his side would be attacking the bayonetted foe with the butt of his rifle. The Kaiser's men were giants but they fell like flies. Blood splash ed everywhere. I must have shot hundred with my own re- volver. The German remnants finally fled for their lives. Not many escaped. Arrived back at Charleroi we lost two score un- der fire from a German Howitzer on a steple from which Red lCross flag was flying.

 Little Rock, Oct. 13.-Although Joe Connolly, a former Little Rock pitcher, is now a member of the Boston miracle team, few residents of Little Rock who remember Connolly as a Travel CT, are sufficiently influenced by that fact to root for the Nation at League entry in the blue rib- bon baseball event of the year.

treat until they had further discussed

SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF
SIGNATURES IN SIGHT
Work of Securing Names TO Initiate
Mining Board Bill About Over.
Circulating Bank Guaranty
Act.

l.. II. Moore, state secretary of the
Arkansas Federation of Labor. states
that the work of securing names to in
itiate the state mining board bill is
about over, sufficient number of sig
natures being now in sight TO insure
success. The agents of the Fedora
tion who are in the field are now cir
culating a bank guaranty act, as well
as child labor law petition, and Sec
retary Moore hopes to have both Of
them ready for filing in time to per
NIT them to be voted upon.
There has developed little oppo-
sition to the child labor law through
the circulation of the report among
the farmers of the state, that under it
years of age on the farm. The bill,
will not prohibit children under Ia
from working on the farm of their
parents, and it is thought that the
law will not be construed so as TO pre-
vent children working in the fields
during the cotton picking time The
purpose of the law is to prevent the
working of children under IA years Of
age in the factories and stores, and
not to stop them being worked at
healhtful outdoor occupations, there
seldom being reported any cases Of
oppression to children on the farms
One of the objects of the child Ia
Dor bill is to prevent the standing in
vitation of factories to come to Ark
ansas, which has no childlabor law.

WILL ENDEAVOR TO MAKE
ORDER PERMANENT
Bache Mining Property Withdrawn
from Association of Mine Owners
lnaugurate Open Shop or
Non Union Policy.

Little Rock, April9.-Whie friends
OF Sebastian county coal miners
watched the Office of Gov. Hays to see
if Franklin Bache, or his attorney,
James F. Read, of Fort Smith, sought
protection for the property of the
Bache-Denman Coal Company, Mr..
Bache and the attorney appeared be-
fore Judge Jacob Trieber in Federal
court Wednesday and secured tenn
|porary injunction, restraining about
sixty miners, and all others, from in
terfering with the operation of the
mines owned or controlled by the
Bache-Denman company. The court
will go to Fort Smith on April 1S, at
which time the question of making
the restraining order permanent, will
be argued.
Mr.. Bache is the owner of many
mines in Sebastian county, and near
by in Oklahoma. He recently with
drew his property from the associa-
tion of mine operators, and declared
that he would inaugurate an "open
shop or non-union policy. The mines
with thirty men working, opened un-
der this policy, on Monday morning.
Two thousand union miners from that
section called on the Mammoth Vein
mine near Midland on Monday morn
ing, and when they We're through,
there were no workmen, and the
guards had been severely beaten
"The guards at our mines," stated
Mr.. Bache, "were not even deputized
as officers, and though they were arm
ed, had orders not to shoot. 1t was
therefore an easy matter to overpow-
er and assault them. The men were
instructed to fade away when the
mob was seen coming, but they evi-
IDENTIFY did not fade soon enough"
Mr.. Bache intimated that his mines
would be operated right along under
the injunction, for he had operated at
a loss during the last two years, try
ing to patronize the union, so it was
either quit the union or close the min
es.
The injunction was granted against
miners who We're recognized in the
mob which attacked the mine Monday,
but it is broad enough to include any
one who may make an effort to in
jure the property. Mr.. Bache belle
yes that he will be able to get suffi-
cient number of men to operate the
mines, believing that if they are as
sured protection that many of the
men who were in his employ before
the change of policy, will return.
During his stay in the city Mr..
Bache did not call on Gov. Hays nor
State Labor Commissioner J. c. Clary.
He stated that he did not contemplate
asking for state troops to protect his
property, the Federal court being APP
pealed to as his concern is a non-res-
ident of the state.

bR|NDLEY CASE Is
 GIVEN ID THE JURY Closing Arguments In Sen- sati0nal Murder Case
 Heard In Cullman

cullman, August Especial )-The case of the state against Alpheus Brindley. charged with murder in the first degree, as an accessory to the killing of Robert Miller, the young farmer who was shot from ambush two miles from Cullman while going home last July, is nearing conclusion The evidence is all in the hands of the jury.
 Judge J. B. Brown made the open- ing argument for the state, beginning at 10 o'clock. The interest was intense during the entire speech and the court room was packed. Judge Brown was followed by George H. Parker for the defense, and then the state introduced Col. Ed Griffith of Buchannon, Ga. who was followed by F. E. St. John and J. A. Callahan. the latter from De- catur. The closing argument was made by Solicitor Dave Almon for the state.
 The fact that the two men accused of doing the shooting for Alpheus Clyde-are under sentence for the mur- der of Robert Miller to Imprisonment for life. and the further fact that Brindley is under second indictment for killing an old man named Dial by poison. for which he was once tried and acquitted, is attracting much attention from the people of the county and city.
