BUCK GARRETT
/ D N { F ROM
PHILADELPHIA
SHERIFF SAYS ANDERSON CASE
is ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT
FROM THAT GIVEN IN NEWS
PAPER REPORTS.

Sheriff Buck Garrett returned from
Philadelphia Friday night, where he
went to make a personal investiga
ton of the murder charge against
Frank Anderson, held by the police
of that city for killing a saloon,
keeper by the name of Campbell one
week ago last Friday night
Mr.. Garrett stated that the press OF
that city were very bitter in their
treatment of Anderson, but that their
stories were not in line with the real
facts of the case. The officers OF the
city, on the other hand, are most fair
and Mr.. Garrett states that he was
shown every courtesy by everyone
with whom he came in contact
Mr.. Garrett states that when the
true facts are brought out, they will
read quite differently from the news
paper reports, and he was very op-
timistic about the ultimate outcome
Vi bilO WHY ullIOl NlllAult dlld VI e
Garrett stated that when he arrived
at detective headquarters IN Phla-
delphia the place was swarming with
reporters, all eager to get a story, but
that he had nothing to give them.
He further stated that the officers
were giving Anderson square deal,
and his previous good record will have
great bearing on the case. On the
other hand, they have not so much TO
say for the deceased, whom, it is
alleged, was overbearing and abusive
before the shot was fired that ended
his life.
The question of robbery or attempt
ed robbery which was played up so
strong by the newspaper is all
mistake, according to Sheriff Garrett,
who states that the question has never
been raised by the officers, as none
was attempted.

DEATH CHAIR TESTED.
Calf is Innocent Victim - Officials
Satisfied With Test.

McAlester, Okla, Oct 2.-The first
death penalty to be inflicted by the
electric chair at the Oklahoma state
penitentiary at McAlester occurred
Tuesday afternoon. The victim was
not a murderer or a human being, but
an innocent calf that had committed
no crime, but had to give up its life
that officials might ascertain if the
chair would deal out death to a hu.
man being sentenced to death by the
laws OF Oklahoma. The meat Of the
calf will be fed to the prisoners.

FOREIGN DEMAND FOR COAL
WILL ASSUME MAGNITUDE

Washington, oct 2.-The probable
foreign demand for coal mined i'll
the United States, as viewed by com
petent observers here and as 9ndi.
Gated by foreign dispatches, means
that mine owners and coal carrying
railroads in this country can look
forward to further increased acti, ity
in the next few months
In fact several railroads are al
ready showing increased coal freight,
In the last few days reports have
been published that the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad, and the Chesapeake
and Ohio railway, for example, are
rushing large stocks of coal from the
mines. Idle coal cars are reported
as greatly diminished on several i'm
portant coal-carrying railroads.
According to Walter S. Hiatt, spec
ial European correspondent of the
Railway Age Gazette, France will be
forced to get the coal formerly mined
in Belgium, from the United States.
This is estimated at 2O,000,O0O tons
annually. All the Belgium mines are
now operated under German control
and the coal is going to Germany.
The British shortage in coal means
not only that shipments to British
ports will be increased, but that Dem
mark will come into the American
coal market Already shipments of
American coal to Copenhagen have
been made The Danish navy and
other coal consumers formerly depend. !
ed on the British supply
Spain is also looking to American
mines for the coal supply normally
secured from Great Britain, according

United States department Of com

Police Comm .ssioner Arthur Woods.
on furlough from the training camp
at Plattsburg, vigorously approved this
war kindergarten for business and
professional mon when questioned last
night in the Harvard Club.
What we want" he said with en-
phasis, sis peace. and we want it so
sincerely that we'll fight for il: and If
any other macon should try TO force
its civilization upon US we must be
equipped and trained to defend our
ideals.
Should our navy be defeated we
could presen; an efficient force of ten
million men e an enemy, should
training such as that at Plattsburg be
given 20 our voung men. It could be
given them in chools and colleges and
for certain PERIODS each summer.
Should it be ELown that we had such
a force, ready u spring TO arms, no ma
tion would d:Ie cross the ocean 10
fight US.
I'VE should orange that men OF all
classes be abe TO get this training. IL
is not militar:Sm; they would remain
civilians, but Vould learn how to de-
fend American ideals and at the same
time improy. the general morale
throughout tks country by undergoing

WOULD HAVE ALIENS
FIRST TAUGHT ENGLISH
Naturalization Bureau Holds
This a Prime Requisite.

Washington, Aug. 23.-The Bureau
of Naturalization issued to-day a gen.
eral letter relative 20 its views as 10
the course which should be followed IN
training the alien population in Ameri-
can citizenship.
While pointing out the impossibility
of laying down any hard and fast
rules, the letter declares that the prime
requisite is ability to speak the Eng
lsh tongue. 1T is through this me-
dunn alone it says, that aliens can
acquire a practical knowledge, both in
aud out of the schools, Of our institu-
tions. This will lay the necessary
undation for instruction in some
simple outline Of American clyics, the
duties and the obligations. as well as
the privileges and immunities Of
American citizenship.
above all, in this connection they
should be taught that the supreme au-
thority in this country is the law and
that the first duty of an American citi-
zen is obedience 20 that law, even
though il may seem an unwise or OBJ
jectionable law; the remedy in The
later case being through constitutional
methods to modify or change the law,
but that in all cases the first duty Of
American citizenship Is obedience 10

SEES GERMAN DRIVE
TO AID TURKS NEXT
Diplomat Thinks They Will Halt
Russian Advance and COncen-
trate at Serbian Frontier.

Berne, Aug. % dispatch to London
Morning Post").-A neutral diplomat
friendly to the Allies. who has just re-
turned from Germany. where he had
good opportunities of coming in touch
with different classes of people, thinks
the German armies are not likely to
attempt 10 60 beyond Dunaburg, on the
Dwina, or Baranowich Junction, on the
Brest-Litovsk line. After occupying
Riga they are likely, he considers, to
ertrench themselves and send to the
Serbian frontier as many troops as
ihey can spare and attempt to march
through Serbia and Bulgaria TO Turkey
and COnstantinople.
All available Austrian troops are TO
lie released to attack the Italians in
lrentlni As for the western front, he
Is Of the opinion that the Germans will
not waste any men in endeavoring
either TO continue the famous "Nor-
marsche mach Calais" or the "Vor-
narsche mach Paris" Germany's goal
s neither Paris nor Calais, he says,
but Mesopotamia.
WhaS chiefly troubles the Germans at
me present, he declares, is the posi-
b.hty Of England's introducing compul-
sorry military service, for if the war
should last another year they fear with
tnls innovation that they might be
Oohged TO meet a formidable army next
spring and summer.

Washington Believes Sue
cess Would Make Him
CarranZa Contender.
MAY FORCE FIRST
CHIEF TO TERMS
VilliStas Have Solution of Peace
Problem in Their Hands
u. S. Troops Fired On.
From The Tribune Buresu.l

Washington, Aug. 23.-Villa's re-
newed military activity may COM
pletely alter the complexion of the
Mexican peace situation, according to
students of Mexican affairs. For the
last two months the Villa armies have
been inactive and have created the i'm
preston that their power in Mexico
was declining. Reports of an impor-
tant battle in the vicinity Of Monterey,
however, have led to the belief in
official circles that Villa may yet have
to be reckoned with on a parity with
Carranza.
1t is pointed out that if Villa is sue
cessful in the present movement his
power in Mexico will increase rapidly,
owing &c the moral effect on the peo-
pie. Victorious armies have little
difficulty in raising new levies of
troops, and it is not inconceivable
that a Villa success on a large scale
would make him a serious contender
against Carranza.
In that event the interest with
which Carranzas action on the Pam
American peace plan is being awaited
would at once decline and he could
be dealt with on much easier terms
than at present, as he now considers
his military position so unassailable
that he is not obliged to treat with his
enemies to obtain his ends.
Carranza, il is believed, will refuse
to join a peace conference with Villa
and his other opponents unless he is
given a representation in it proper
tionate to the strength of his faction.
With the ascendancy OF the Villa fac
ton his relative power would be
reduced so that the Villistas could
force him 10 either agree 70 a proposal
or declare himself an outlaw.
Should Carranza administer a crush
ing defeat to the Villa party in the
present combat, however it would mean
virtually the end of the Convention
alist group as a contending factor IN
the Mexican situation and compel the
recognition of Carranza. or at least
force the other factions to agree to
his terms.
The Brazilian minister 70 Mexico
called on Secretary Lansing this morn
ing and gave him a complete account
of the situation as he views 1t. Senior
Cardoso has represented the United
States in Mexico City during the
revolution and is known to be OPP
posed to the recognition of Carranza
at this time. Carranza bitterly at
tackled Senior Cardoso recently.

Will Go on Tennessee
Wherever RearAdmiral
CapertOn Directs.
MAY BE LANDED
AT CAPE HAYTIEN
Affairs Reported Quiet, but
Americans Take Over Gus
tom House at st. Marc.
From The Tribupe Bureau

Washington. Aug. 23.-The Navy De-
rartment ordered $50 more marines
into Southern waters" to-day. The ar
mored cruiser Tennessee. which ar
rived at Newport News to-day. will
take the men and twelve three-inch
field pieces on board tomorrow at An
napolis and proceed to Philadelphia for
ammunition and stores. 1t is expect
ed she will leave Philadelphia on
Thursday.
The marines will be placed at the
disposal Of Rear Admiral Caperton,
commanding the cruiser squadron in
Hayti. and will be sent either to
Guantanamo, Cuba. or to Hayti, as he
may direct.
There are now 1900 marines in
HaytI, besides landing force of about
500 bluejackets. The artillery bat
talon now being sent is practically
the last reserve available on the At
lantic coast.
If the additional force is needed at
all officials here thought it likely that
the men and guns would be landed at
Cape Haytian, as the artillery proba-
bly, would discourage any hostile ac-
ton by native soldiers.
Minor disturbances at Port-au-
Prince last night were reported in a
message from Rear Admiral Caperton
to the Navy Department to-day. There
was firing in the outskirts of the city,
which was quickly suppressed by the
United States troops. A considerable
quantity of arms and ammunition was
surrendered on Saturday.
Rear Admiral Caperton reported al
fairs quiet at Cape Haytian and Port
au- Prince to-day. but said it had been
necessary TO take over the custom
house at St. Marc. Haytian troops
near Cape Haytian still refuse to dis
arm. but natives came into the town to
market on Saturday. which Rear Ad-
miral Caperton viewed as a hopeful
sign.

MACHINISTS SEEK
FEDERATION'S AID
National Labor Body IS
Urged to Uphold Eight
Hour Movement.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Executive Off
GERS of the metal trades division of
the American Federation of Labor took
under advisement to-day the question
whether the international Association
of Machinists shall be supported in a
campaign to enforce the eight-hour
workday.
Specific plans Of the machinists for
immediate action in four New York
and New England cities. in plants en-
ploying $4,000 men, were placed before
the council by W. II. Johnston, rresi-
dent of the machinists. In these cases
strikes have been authorized if the
eight-hour day cannot be obtained by
peaceful means.
ave have taken under consideration
the question of supporting the ma
chinists in this movement" said James
O'Connell PRESIDENT of the metal
trades division, "and also are working
out plans for shorter hours and i'm
proved conditions in the other metal
trades where heavy war orders present
an opportunity. We will act on the
machinists' request for support to-
morrow"
That the metal trades will vote to
uphold the machinists is generally ac-
cepted as assured. and they also are
expected to inaugurate general cam
paign in other branches of the metal
industry.
