 pering by a court bailiff, were aired

 mo, a depuey sheriff. in a battle near
 Ludlow, Col, between deputies and
 striking coal miners.
 Motion for New Trial
 The motion for new trial field by Lawson's attorney was accom- panied by an affidavit, signed by Grover Hall a member of the jury which convicted the labor leader. In ir Hall declared that during the more than 40 hours of jury deliberation he was repeatedly told by Frank Good : en, the bailiff in charge of the jury, that his wife was dangerously ill. The affidavit makes the further charge that on May third, the jury l was not taken to luncheon at the ,us- 1 uaI hour and that Gooden inform cil him that Judge Hillyar had ordered l the jury to be locked in a room and ! given no food until they agreed upon a verdict Finally. Hall declares, he 1 agreed to vote for verdict which he believed was contrary to the evil
 dence.
 Brought Pressure to Bear.

Among the avowed and receptive
candidates for Governor who may en-
ter the contest or nomination on the
Democratic ticket are Judge W. W..
Graves of the Supreme Court, Secre-
tary of State Cornelius Roach, Attor-
ney General John T. Barker, Lieu
tenant Governor William R. Painter,
John M. Atkinson, Col. Fred D. Gard
ner, James A. Houchin, Rev. A. N.
Lindsey, and State Senator Francis
Wilson. The prospective candidates
for the Republican nomination are
not quite so numerous, but the men
most talked of in that party are E.
E. E. McJimsey of Springfield, May
or c. w. Thomas of Jefferson City,
Judge Henry Lamm of Sedalia and
Charles D. Morris of st. Joseph. As
the political situation crystalizes
probably the most of those named
will gradually be weeded out until on
ly two or three of each party remain
in the race. The first move on the
political checker board in the State
will be the meetings of the State po-
litical committees to arrange for the
State conventions of their respective
parties to select delegates to the Ma
tional conventions. The committees
will doubtless meet sometime in Jan
uary, and the State conventions be
called for some date probably in
March or April. Then activities of
the candidates for State offices to be
nominated at the August primary
will begin in earnest, and we viii have
politics for breakfast, lunch and din
ner. 1916 is going to be lively year
in politics.

GOOD TINES IN PROSPECT

New York, Dec. 27.-"Sustained as
tivity in majority of lines with pros
poets of still greater growth, typify
current trade and industrial con6-
tons. Contrary to precedent, the
larger trades do not display the Gus
tomary pre-holiday characteristics
that usually prevail when the time
for the taking of inventories arrives.
True, there has been a lull in some
sections, but activity is maintained
so steadily that statesmen are remain
ing on the road longer than usual at
this season and most reports agree
that wholesale as we'll as jobbing
trade is of large volume.
"In addition, Christmas shopping
is in full swing, buying at many cen
ters is the heaviest in years, regular
retail trade is heavy, wearing apparel
is excellent, mail order houses are dc
ing a record business, buying for fa-
ture delivery is good, industrial actiV-
ity is especially noteworthy, labor is
well employed at good wages, farm
ers, except in a few places, are pros.
porous, the week has seen further
advances in prices for cereals, collec-
tons are good, bank clearings heavily
exceed those of this time in 1913,
money is in better demand and rail
way traffic is heavy.
Recorders for staples are such as
to suggest that stocks had been
starved, and that the new wave of
prosperity has given so much of an
impetus to final distribution that re-
peat orders keep coming in"

We notice some favorable comments
among exchanges in regard to Joseph
J. Critics, of Rolla, who will be can
didate for Lieutenant Governor on
the Democratic ticket at the next gen
eral election. The Times editor had
some acquaintance with Mr.. Critics
before leaving this State several years
ago, and we remember him as a wor-
thy and high-minded gentleman. We
believe the complimentary things that
are being said of him, and believe he
would fill the Office he seeks with hon
or to himself and his party.

$12,OOO,OOO SANITARIUM

Hot Springs, Ark, Dec. 29.-East-
ern capitalists, through local agents
have obtained options on $1,000,0OC
worth of property in the heart of Hot
Springs and expect to obtain options
on additional property worth $1,000
900.
The property is desired for a $12,-
100000 sanitarium. The area covered
in the options includes four city
blocks.
Tomorrow night a mass meeting
will be called to get the remaining
options.
The sanitarium as planned will be
the greatest of its kind in the world.
A modern hotel of 600 rooms is in
cluded in the plans, as well as a nata-
forum $50 feet long. Central ave-
nue. is to be widened 40 feet if the
deal goes through.

Emperor William Of Germany was
reported i'll by Berlin wireless, via
Sayville, on the 22nd inst. The mes
sage describes his illness as "zellgew-
ebentzuendung," more frequently
given as MISUNDERSTANDING"
1t sounds serious, but the Kaiser was
able to join his family in the Christ
mas festivities. His malady is some
sort of inflammation of the throat, we
are told, and while the constitutional
symptoms are grave the disease is
often mild in degree.

wonders what all the fuss was about
and why. Mr.. Smith, as everybody
here knows, is a cripple and could not
get around as actively as he would
like, so he got j. G. Watson to help
him in securing signatures to his Pc
tition, enlisting others in his cause
and having them write letters favor
able to his appointment to the. Post
Office Department. Mr.. Watson had
befriended Mr.. Smith in other mat
tiers heretofore, and it was perfectly
natural that the latter should feel
under some obligation and sense of
gratitude, so he told Mr.. Watson that
If he got the appointment he would
try to pay him something for the
trouble and expense he had taken in
his behalf. After Mr.. Smiths APP
pointment it seems that Congressman
Hensley heard about the matter and
probably imagining that it might re-
fleet upon him in some manner, as
he Endorsed and recommended the APP
pointment, secured statement from
Mr.. Smith and called the attention of
the Post Office Department to it.
There was really no grating in the
transaction between Mr.. Smith and
Mr.. Watson and nothing wrong in
what either of them did as we under
stand it.

Notice is being taken of the very
recent and rapid advance in the price
Of gasoline in all parts of the country,
and people are beginning to ask the
reason, if there is any, for this raise.
The owners of automobiles are es-
pecially struck hard, which means
trades people, farmers, professional
men and the well-to-do families in ev-
cry town in the land, for gasoline is
the main motive power behind these
machines. 1t is said that the Stand
ard Oil Company and the independent
oil companies declare that the export
trade has nothing to do with the rise,
and if this be true, then what reason
is to be given? There are many who
believe that the refiners have taken
advantage of the European war to
force higher prices upon American
consumers. Congress is expected to
take some action in this matter and
start an investigation. Speaking of
the rapid advance a Missouri Con-
gresham said in Washington the
other day: 81 left the Missouri River
with my car full of gasoline that cost
me II cents a gallon. They raised me
every time l bought more until I was
paying 81 cents a gallon before l ar
rived at the Capital" Somebody is
big profit at the peoples
expense.

The customary charges of boosting
rates are already being brought
against st. Louis hotels, for the period
covering the session of the Democrat
ic National Convention, to be held in
that city next June. The hotel keep
ers admit their prices will be raised
during that convention. GLOW else
could we hope to get back the big
donations to secure that convention"
they ask, and their position appears
to be we'll taken. Such practice has
always been followed, and there is
probably no way to prevent it.
