Keller Says it Is in Justice to
Both Sides to Have the
Charges Investigated by
Grand Jury.
MANY CHARGES MADE
Undue and Improper In
fluencing of Voters Is AL
legged and Many Ballots
Were Disputed.

The prosecuting attorneys request
for special grand jury was made in
the circuit court today during the reg
ular court session. The matter was
formally presented by the prosecutor,
after which he and the judge discussed
the situation
In giving his reasons for asking a
call OF the investigating body, Prose
cutor Keller said it was in justice to
tnose who had been accused of irregu-
larit1es in dealing with the law.
1T Is in justice to both Sides" said
MIR. Keller. IF any men have been
wrongly accused in the heated three
weeks campaign, they should be vim
dlcated. II the charges are true the
violators should be prosecuted"
Various charges have been made,
chiefly by the dry leaders. Prohibition
leaders asked RELIEF before the cleo
ton to file aftidavitt in court on their
information that ]fst papers of citi-
Zenship taken Ou9 by foreigners had
been paid for by the wet organization.
Undue and improper influencing of
voters was also charged by both sides
No charge were made of any tam
pering at the polls. Neither examined
any of the challenged ballots when the
election board took the official returns
at the court house this morning.
Nineteen ballots were disputed at
the Twenty fifth precinct. In a number
of other precincts, from one to six
were not counted. Several ballots
names of voters signed, number
were not marked, and some were
marked with a cross between the Yes

to make the intention of the voter in
determinate. Other ballots were mu-
tilated in various ways. Because of
the size Of the majority, the drys
made no attempt to have the ballots
examined. The ballots cast out were
about evenly divided between the wet
and dry, it is said

announcement that he had rendered
his resignation.
Pandemonium followed Seely's an
nouncement.
EX-Premier Balfour. a Unionist,
shouted to Premier Asquith:
'1s this statement true?"
The premier answere: Colonel See
ly is still member of the cabinet"
Colonel Seely attempted to proceed
with his statement, but the premier
interrupted.
Ministry lettering.
Foes Of present ministerial organ
1zation are confidently predicting today
that not only would the present liberal
regime be hurled to it's political death
in consequence of the home rule fight
and the Ulster crisis, but that Premier
Asquith would be forced into retire
ment.
Friends of the premier admitted
that he was in great straits confess
ing that the indications were that a
radical liberal cabinet, possibly headed
by David Lloyd-George, present chan
cellor Of the excheQuer, would come
into power, and that general elections
would be held within a few weeks.
This would spell death to home rule
for Ireland for the present.
Cabinet Sessions Stormy.
The Cabinet held a long session in
Downing street at which the resigna-
ton of Colonel Seely was considered.
At the same time the members of the
ministry discussed full the Ulster sit
uation. 1t is said the session was a
stormy one.
The most powerful proof in the
hands Of the anti-home rule forces,
especially those who are attacking
King George, for his participation in
the imbroglio, is that written guar
antee has been placed in the hands of
General Hubert Cough. commander Of
a brigade in assuring him that British
troops would not be sen into Ulster
province to fight Sir Edward Carson
Ulster volunteers.
Among the letters made public by
the government today was one from
General Cough to General Sir Arthur
Paget communicated of the Brit
ish forces in Ireland, saying that he
and a majority of the officers in his
command would prefer dismissal if
ordered to take active operations
against the Orangemen.
played in England is unique in the his
tory of the United Kingdom. 1t has
given rise to charges that King
George has violated the restrictions of
the constitution by forcing himself
into an issue which should have been
settled by the people, that the British
army. through it's interference in an
affair purely civil has usurped the au-
thority of government and that the
Asquith ministry has been guilty of
treachery.
/ Following the attack made upon
King George by John Ward, laborite,
and former dock laborer, in the house
of commons last night, Radicals
among the leaders of the Labor party
were not slow to take the cue today
and there were alarming indications
! that speeches bordering on treason
would result in tonight's debate:

perhaps fundamentally, different from
ours.
The class OF animals called "arthro-
poda" Oointed animals) possess an organ
unknown TO man. which sometimes seems
to have almost magical powers. This is
the "antenna" (from a Greek word mean
ing to stretch up) Everybody has be-
come familiar with this word since it's
adoption to describe the aerial wire used
to catch the signals 10 wireless teIeg-
raFhy.
In the natural world We see the an
teana lin the plural antennae) most COM
monty among insects. An insect deprived
OF it's antennse, although it continues to
live, seems TO be like a man deprived at
once OF both sight and hearing, and per-
haps even Of the sense of touch. and IL
may be deprived, at the same time, OF
other senses of which we know nothing
In fact the antenna, whether used as
a means TO capture invisible electric
waves wandering through the ether, or
employed by the insect TO give It all
sorts OF information about its surround
ings, is absolutely uncanny in its exhibit
tion Of strange properties. With the in
sect IL Is a wand OF knowledge. and when
you see some little six-legse1 creature
waving its antennae about you may be
sure that il is collecting news to guide
II. in q way as wonderful as any that we
have inherited or invented.
Indeed. il is Impossible that when we
fitted the word antenna to our aerial
telegraph system we were, unawares.

other than such as are clearly analogous
to our senses. Watch an Rnthill in the
busy hours and observe how orderly and
yet rapidly everything goes on. Even
when an ant seems TO be wondering and
turning in a confused manner II is not at
all certain that II is not perfectly guided
By sense impressions in ali its movements.
II the senses by which they are guided
are all concentrated In the antennae then
that organ must surely be regarded as
one OF the most marvellous that nature
has bestowed upon tie animal creation.

Ruffle upon ruffle, each ripping forth in

quaint little skirt of coral pink taffeta must have
been cherished all these years in the hidden re-
cesses of chest belonging to an 1880 belle. AZ
least Weeks has copied almost to the last detail
the skirt Of that period. There are slight modi-
fications in the corsage though the flat shoulder
effect is just as pronounced And it is achieved
by sash of black and silver brocade ribbon
which twines its way over one shoulder and
across the hip. Two ruffles of the taffeta out.

apt 10 think that we have covered the

VANISHED HOME ECONOMICS.
Days of Lye Barrel and Other Fru-
salities' Numbered With the Past.

Domestic scientists tell us that a
return to certain old-fashioned home
economies is demanded. There's the
making of family soap, for instance.
Who knows of a home in which soap
is still made and not bought? A
few decades ago throughout vast
area of the country the prudent
housewife saved fats of all kinds for
soap-making. The ash and lye bar
rel were much in evidence. Waste
was reduced to minimum in the
disposition of domestic affairs. Thrift
was a dominant law. Some good
wives saved fat also for candles, for
it was an age of candlelight. Matches
were luxury, and for them were
substituted tapers made of old news
papers, which stood in a vase ON the
mantelpiece.
If these home economies, along
with others that might be listed,
could be revived, the high cost of
living would be considerably lowered.
In a day the thrifty housekeeper Of
days gone by could make enough
soap and candles to supply the family
for months, but now the material
that she used is thrown away. If
women were to revive the spinning
wheel, the loom, the fat boiler, the
lye barrel, and the mold, living
would be cheaper, but these house
hold aids belong to an unreturning
day. We cannot so radically read
just our mode of living and order
ing our households, and we would
not if we could. There was too much
work and too little play for the
housewife of a quarter of century
ago, and is still for many of them.
Household economies in food have
also passed to a considerable degree.
How many housekeepers to-day put
up their own jellies and bake their
own bread and cakes? How many
have homemade pickles, the sort that
is best of all? Where is the ancient
skill in weaving crumbs and odds and
ends into epicurean mosaics? How
many of us who have garden space
have vegetable gardens? What has
become of homemade wine and cor
dials? Who uses nowadays the cook
books of yesterday, full of recipes
written in feminine hand and con-
tanning culinary secrets that the
highest priced chefs of Manhattan
could not equal.-Richmond Times

PAROLED MAN AGAIN IN JAIL.
Ed Cuffy Engages. in a Shooting AT.
fray at Greenville.

Greenville, Jan. 19.-Edward Cuff
fly, a negro, wanted here on several
charges and who was paroled by
Governor Blease on Thanksgiving
day, returned to the city yesterday
in rather an unexpected manner.
It seems Cuffy had some alterca-
ton with Frank Dial, another negro,
which resulted in Cuffy being seri-
ously shot in the thigh. The shoot
ing affair occurred at some North
Carolina point, but no definite infor-
nation as to the details of the shoot
ing or just where it occurred could
be had late last night. Dial is also
we'll known to the Greenvile police,
having been paroled by the governor
after serving twelve months of five
year sentence.
Cuffy being considered seriously
injured was sent here in order that
his mother might nurse him. After
being carried to his mothers home
at 343 Broad street Cuffy grew
worse and Adjt. Cook of the Saliva
ton Army was sent for. Adjt. Cook
decided Cuffy NEEDED better medical
attention and he was sent to the
city hospital.
"Cuffy will probably recover" said
the police last night, land when he
does we can Look after him for a
while. He has been wanted here
for some time and it is fortunate
that he was brought here with such
little difficulty"

Congressman Wanted to Shoot.

Washington, Jan. 20.-A fist fight
between Representative Johnson, of
Kentucky, and John R. Shields, d
Washington attorney, broke up a
meeting to-day of the house commit
tee of the District of Columbia. At
ter the two men had clashed and
several blows were struck, Represen-
tative Johnson broke away, shouting
Get me my pistol, I'll kill him.
During the encounter. Mr.. Shields
was knocked down by rapid blows
from the tall Kentucky congressman.
Clerks of the District of Columbia
dashed into the arena and with sew
eral spectators tried to quiet the
combatants. Two clerks held john
son for a few moments, but he got
the better of them and broke away,
shouting for his revolver.
There were dozen men in the
room when Johnson hurried out, but
his demand for firearms soon emp
tied the office, and when he returned
there was no. one in sight. The
Kentuckian addressed some caustic
remarks to the clerks who had held
him and prevented further trouble
and the incident closed.
The clash between the two men
came after a hearing on a bill to in
crease the salaries of crossing police
men in Washington. Mr.. Shields ap-
peared as attorney for the police
men. After Shields had presented
his case, Johnson declared that "he
heard that Mr.. Shields had collected
large lobbyists fee.'
While making an attempt to ad-
journ the meeting, Shields demand
ed an opportunity to reply to false
statements. The encounter result
