people are not considering this hol-
iday. It's fight to the finish. We
have 80 per cent of the workers out
now and they are coming out con-
stantly."
A group of strikers, singing and
cheering, walked past the tailoring
shop of John Sokolowsky at 1884 w.
North av. last night. Sokolosky kept
looking anxiously at his group of en-
ployes who have not yet walked out.
When some of them became restless
he asked the police to get rid of the
strikers. The police detailed at his
shops went out on the sidewalks and
used their clubs to scatter the crowd.
Several mounted men rode out of a
side street and up on the sidewalk.
The crowd laughed as it ran. So
kolowsky became mad. He took his
gun and went out on the street and
fired into the crowd.
Before the police could take the
gun away from him he had shot Sam
Lerner, a striking presser of Kup-
penheimer's vest shop, in the right
leg. Lerner was taken to the hos
pital and Sokolowsky was arrested.

fact called to his attention by Mary
Mcdowell that 60 per cent of the
strikers are women and police are
making no exception in their cases.
Union officials are also indignant
at the attitude of the trust press In
handling the strike.
"All we asked was an even break"
Frank Rosenblum told Day Book
reporter, "but the Misrepresentation
in the trust press are becoming so
brazen that even the pessimistic OF
our strikers know that the papers lie.
Here is a list printed in the Trib-
une this morning. 1t gives the Royal
Tailors $500 employees with only 500
on strike. They do not employ more
than 1000 and there are 900 out.
Progress Tailoring is given $50 with
80 out. They have about $50 alto

with 400 out. They have 1000 and
$50 out. Hirsh- Wickwire are given
as 1000 with 200 out. They have
about 800 downtown, who are all out,

it is the same. They try to make the

with rioting, but they say nothing
about police tactics. Men are not

MINERS FAIL TO GET ARREST
ACTION ON JOHN D., JR.

Denver, CoIo., Sept. 3o.-United
Mine Workers of America have failed
to get Colorado authorities to arrest
John D., Rockefeller, Jr., in connec-
ton with the Ludlow massacres and
other miners deaths.
A. NJ. Belcher, the unions general
counsel, admitted this today when he
returned from Trinidad, after vainly
trying to get States Dist Atty Jack
Hendricks to act. Hendricks was the
miners last hope, other state officials
having refused.
All alleged evidence which Belch-
er's detectives gathered after many
weeks work in state failed to move

SENTENCE EXPECTED SOON
Former President of Memphis Mer-
camille Bank May Be Sentenced
This Week.

Memphis.-After entering a plea of
guilty to the governments charge of
using the mails In furtherance of a
scheme to defraud," C.. Hunter Haine,
former president of the old Mercan-
tile bank, was given until Wednesday,
Feb. 10, to wind up some personal af-

tence.
II Judge Mccall acts upon the ad.
vice of United States District Attor-
ney Hubert F. Fisher the former

years In the government prison at
Atlanta. This, say attorneys, means
that the defendant can get about one
year off for good behavior, and upon
certain recommendations, might be
paroled by the president after serving
years time.

a similar charge, had his case post

Lucky Horseshoe.

1t was about the middle of the sew
enteenth century that the superstitious
use of horseshoes as emblems of good
luck originated in England. They were
at first deemed protection against
witches and evil spirits, and were
nailed on doors of houses, with the
curve uppermost. 1t was the belief
that no witch or evil spirit could en-.
ter house thus guarded. The Gus
tom of mailing horseshoes to ships and
other sailing craft is still in vogue
in all English-speaking countries. To
find horseshoe with an odd num-
Der of nails attached to it is consid-
cred the forerunner of good luck, and
the more nails the greater the good
fortune that is likely to attend the
finder. A person about to be married
who finds a horseshoe believes that
happy matrimonial career awaits him.

lice Sergeant for Death of Her Hus-

Jackson.--As an aftermath of the
shooting affray which occurred one
night in December, 1912, on North

slain man, brought suit for $4,000
damages against the City of Memphis

the court of civil appeals the case
was aired thoroughly and will be dis,
posed of by that tribunal.
The facts in connection with the
shooting affray and the killing of
Parsons are still fresh in the public
mind. 1t will be remembered that
the officers tried to arrest Boehler,
who had secreted himself on the Sec
ond floor of the building. When the
firing took place Parsons, who lived
on the second floor of the same build
ing, but four doors south, stepped
out on the veranda to see what was
going on, and Officer Brett, taking

killed him. Mrs. Parsons asked tho
City of Memphis to discharge Brett
for the alleged unfitness as an armed

failed to do SO. Mrs. Parsons there.

against Brett jointly for $4,000 dam
ages. The case was tried in circuit
court and verdict rendered 70.
$4,000. Both the city and Brett
asked for new trial. Brett's motion
was overruled, but the city got a new
trial and was found not liable. The
verdict against Breett still stands.

Famous Scotch REGIMENT.

Many people in many countries have
heard of the Black Watch: compare
lively few have heard of the Forty
second Highlanders: yet the names
are of the same regiment This famed
body, the oldest of all Highland regi-
ments, gets its nickname from Its
tartan. When the regiment was first
formed it was used chiefly to suppress
sedition in Scotland, to enforce the
disarming act and to disperse unau.
thorized assemblies. A special tartan
from which all bright colors were
eliminated was designed for regi-
mental use, and this fact, together
with the police nature of the duties OF
early days, led to the name Black
Watch. On many fields, In many
parts of the world, have the soldiers
of the Black Watch upheld the glory
OF this great regiment.

RICH MEN DEFEND GIFTS
Foundations Are No Menace to Amer
lean lnstltutions--Want to
Better Mankind.

New York.--John d. Rockefeller, ST.,
and Andrew Carnegie appeared before
the federal commission on industrial
relations and defended the foundations
which they have endowed with their
wealth.
Neither would say he believed the
institutions constituted a menace to
the religious, political or educational
liberty of the people of the United
States. A desire to promote the well
fare of mankind and that alone, they
said, prompted them to establish the
foundations which bear their names.
Widely different was the manner in
which these two men faced the com
mission and the audience, composed
largely of representatives of labor, So
cialists, individuals and members of
the Industrial Workers of the World
Mr.. Carnegie went to the witness
stand from a seat In the audience
He was In jovial mood, and his an
swers to questions caused the audi
ence and the commissioners to roar
with laughter, more tina nonce Mr.
Carnegie enjoyed that. When he left
the stand he said he had not spent
such pleasant afternoon in many
years.
Mr.. Rockefeller was assisted to the
witness stand by members of his per
sonal staff. Seating himself with much
difficulty, he leaned across a little
table and looked at the audience.
When he started to read his answers
his voice was scarcely audible. After
he had finished his statement he folded
his hands and looked inquiringly at the
commissioners.
Mr.. Rockefeller appeared to have
aged considerably since he last gave
testimony in public. He spoke slowly
and calmly, He declared that his sole
motive was to devote a portion of his
fortune to the services of his fellow
men. He said he regarded the right
to reseind the charters of the founda-
tions as Sufficient guarantee against
abuse of the funds.

A BIT OF HISTORY.

Experience has shown that the clos
ing up of the saloons and the outlaw
ing Of the liquor traffic has always
proved great benefit to every legi-
innate industry. A chapter in the
history of Ireland furnishes a graphic
Illustration. During the years 1s09-10
and 1894 the distilleries of Ireland
were stopped on account of the fam
ine, on the ground that these distil-
leries wasted the grain that might
otherwise be used by the people as
food. The results were surprising.
The consumption of spirits fell off
nearly one-half. On the other hand.
there was tremendous increase In
the demand for dry goods. blankets.
cotton goods, sugar, hardware, crock
cry, groceries and other necessities,
thus showing that a year of scarcity
with prohibition Is better than year
of plenty without it.

House, the affirmative vote lacking
five of the necessary two-thirds. OF

the president and two answered pres

The final test came at the close OF a
day of earnest debate, In which party
lines were temporarily obliterated. Ma
Jority Leader Underwood made Wig
orous speech, criticising the presidents
seasons for vetoing the bill and urging
the House to override executive disap-

Representative Moore OF Pennsyl-

support the president and defeat the
