urday night at the close of the SER
vice, fifteen of them entering the
building. and walked down the isle
to the front where the leader issued
warning to those who had been
making a practice of disturbing wor-
ship there. advising against 1t occur
ing again.
Nortonville citizens here to-day
stated that the masked speaker told
the audience that the drinking OF
whiskey, smoking cigarettes and
fighting about the church must cease
Immediately. Before leaving the
church the speaker warned the au-
dience not to leave the building for
thirty minutes and many insisted on
remaining there all night. The report
here is to the effect that the conduct
of a number of persons who have
been attending the services there
has been bad. A second visit to the
alleged disturbers was promised II

DEADLY DUEL
With KNIVES
Roach Cuts Throat of Steve
Taylor.
On A Preliminary Hearing Before
Judge Wilson Roach Out On
Recogniznnce.

Magyar station was the scene of .
tragedy shortly after O'Clock last
Saturday afternoon, when a knife du.
ell between s. d. Taylor and Theo-
dore Roach took place in front Of
erode Browns general merchandise
store. Taylor was killed. and Roach
was badly cut.
According to the best information
obtainable Taylor was tenant on
the farm of Roach, and resided on
a farm adjacent to Roach. A dis
agreement arose several months ago
in regard to the disposition of some
corn planted by Taylor. Roach and
Taylor had been at "outs" since that
time, but the friction between them
was not thought to be of serious
nature.
Saturday Roach and Taylor met In
front of erode Browns store. The
quarrel was resumed. and a moment
later the men whipped out knives
from their pockets. Taylor is said
to have started the fight by slashing
Roach on the head with his knife.
Before anyone could interfere the
men clinched and slashed each other
several times, before Taylor threw
up his hand and started to walk
away. He had walked about four
feet when he pitched headlong to
the ground. He was dead before
anyone reached him. Roach was cut
so badly that he was unable to speak.
and he was rushed to his home,
about mile from Magyar station.
= The iifeiess body Of Taylor was
carried into the store and an exami-
nation revealed that the jugular vein
had been severed. Taylor was about
fifty years of age. and is survived
by his widow and large family. An
inquest was held over his remains
shortly after the. killing occurred.
and the verdict of the jury was re-
turned according to the facts in the
case.
Roach is a prominent farmer OF
the Magan neighborhood. BY hard
work and sagacious dealings he
amassed considerable wealth, and IL
regarded in his community as man
Of Independent circumstances. He u
we'll thought of and was never
known to have been In trouble be-
fore. Part Of his nose was cut OF:
several teeth were clipped OF and hs
has . jagged wound in his head. He
Is flfty-seven years old.
Monday Roach came to town and
surrendered to the authorities. HiS
face and head was literally covered
with gashes from Tayior's knife. but
he will soon recover. unless compli-
cations should occur.
After preliminary hearing before
Judge Wilson he was permitted to
60 on his own recognizance until
Wednesday. March Sd. when his ex-
aiming trial will be concluded.

patches concerning the massacre that
had been brought to his station by
river steamer. He sized up his job,
FLASHED the news to the east, and
then settled down to the sending of
the kilograms to the War Depart
ment in Washington, a task that re-
quired 81 hours. During that time
Carnahan did not leave the key.
Coffee and sandwiches were handed
him now and then during the long
shift, and towel was wet and placed
on his head at intervals.
Carnahan got three hours sleep
after sending his official dispatches.
He was then aroused to wire the
story to New York papers who had
been clamoring for the details for
hours. There was no other tele-
graph operator within 200 miles.
Carnahan worked at the key 20 hours
more before finally completing his
task.
The receipts of Carnahan's Office
during the first two days were $3,-
900. When the correspondents ar
rived their dispatches added $500
to the treasury, and one of the re-
porters gave Carnahan a $50 tip.
Carnahan has never told the story
of the messages that were exchanged
between President Grant and Gen.
Custer which preceded the Little
Big Horn expedition. They have al
ways been supposed to have caused
the resentment which drove Custer
to recklessness on the fatal ride.
The veteran operator was at the
key for SO years. He protested when
his company sent him to Bismarck,
a frontier town that gave quarter in
those days to rough element. He
consented to go. however, in 1873. on
the promise that he would be reliev-
ed in a short time. His relief came
in 1890.

IN HIGH COURT
Has Right To Refuse In
spection of Files.
Decision of Supreme Court No
Surprise To Officials
Of Road.

Washington, Feb. 23.-In sustain
ing Judge Evans refusal to force
the L. & n. Railroad Company to
permit the Interstate Commerce Com
mission the right to examine priv
ileged correspondence, the Supreme
Court to-day upheld the argument of
Attorney Helm Bruce at every point.
In brief. Justice Day, who handed
down the decision declared that since
the Interstate Commerce Commission
had drafted Section 20 of the act
under which it was operating in the
l.. & N. case, and since that section
did not specifically give the CON-
mission access to correspondence, it
was evident such was not the intent
of the law.
The court held that only "ac-
counts, records and memoranda" of
a railroad are subject to seizure and
search by the commission. w. J..
Mapother, of the L. & NJ, elected
from the Offices in Louisville agents
of the commission who sought to
examine correspondence. The inves-
tigation was made under the Lea
Senate resolution.
Result Was Expected.
The decision Of the Supreme Court
came as no surprise to w. L. Mapo-
ther. vice president of the Louisville
and Nashville railroad, who precipi-
tated the clash with the Interstate
Commission, two inspectors of which
body called unexpectedly at the l..
& N. executive Offices here on Febru-
airy 3, 1914, and demanded access
to the files of the railroad company,
for the purpose, they said. of secur-
ing data on the railroads earnings
Mr.. Mapother fatty refused to ac-
coed to the request, and. it was re-
ported at that time, found it neces-
sary to eject forcibly the inspectors,
who demanded In the name Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission the
right to inspect accounts. records and
memoranda of the railroad.
| Upon the refusal of the railroad
to permit such an inspection Of its
affairs, the commission instituted
mandamus proceedings against the
railroad to compel the railroad to &C
cede to its demands. The proceed
ling was heard before Judge Walter
Evans. of the Federal Court here.
and he ruled that railroad or other
interstate corporation can be cOmpell-
ed to open its books to the commis-
sion only upon some specific demand
and for specific purpose. An appeal
from this decision was taken by the
commission at Washington to the
Supreme Court of the United States,
which body to-day upheld the conten-
ton of the railroad and the decision
of Judge Evans.
When told of the decision of the
Supreme Court Mr.. Mapother said
that it comes as no surprise to him
land that he was confident from the
beginning that the commission was
overstepping the bounds of its au-
thority.

should Mobolize to Save Dignity.
Under the thrilling title, "A Call
To Arms the Army and Navy
Journal prints an editorial reading
in part as follows:
IF President Wilson consults his
military advisers he will ask author
ity from Congress to mobilize an
army of 100000 volunteers, not
for the purpose Of making war. but
of avoiding war by preserving neu-
trality and maintaining our honor
and ignity.
"Piacing q million volunteers un-
der training would amount to a dec
laration that the United States is
preparing to insist upon its rights
and resist aggression. 1t would be
measure OF peace. as 1t might pos
sibly avert the war toward. which
we are fast drifting, as every student
OF military history must see, and 10
would at least partly prepare US to
meet the shock of war II war must
come. 1t would 60 far to solve the
problem of unemployed labor with
which we are contending.
1.-THE mobilization of volunteer
troops at this time could not be con-
strued as a hostile demonstration
against any nation. It would only
amount to a preparation for future
developments in the worldwide war.
Switzerland and Holland have mob
ilized their troops to maintain their
neutrality and similar steps are be-
ing taken by Italy. None of these
nations Is more vitality interested or
deeply involved In the European war
than IL the United States, at the pres
ent time.
"The necessity of calling out q
volunteer army is made more urgent
because of the peace-at-any-price
policy which is being preached from
/ the housetops with the tacit, II not
with the open approval Of those in
authority. Foreign nations not only
realize that we. are not prepared to
defend ourselves. but are under the
impression that we never will be.
ION this account neither Germany
nor Great Britain is giving any seri-
Gus consideration to the protests of
the State Department. except in
words. and japan is going ahead with
its plans for the domination of China
and the Pacific Ocean without con-
sidering the wishes or the interests
of this country.
This is ominous of war, for in
the end the belligerent instincts of
this country, which are only lying
dormant, will be aroused by a reali-
cation that our people have been mis-
led by the false theories of the peace
fanatics. Have those in authority
forgotten how, after the firing upon
FIT. Sumter. in 1851, and again. after
the sinking of the Maine In 1898,
war came like flash out of a clear
sky? He who right-reads the signs
of the heavens can see the war clouds
once more gathering.
IF the President should call for
such an army as is proposed. these
aggressions on the part of the great
Powers would cease. and is 1t not
time that we showed our teethf
During the present war no one can
afford to engage in hostilities with
, this country. although it is obvious
to all that our State Department Is
not in position to enforce any Of its
demands. Every step in the diplo-
matte controversy between Germany
and, the Allies emphasizes the un-
preparedness Of this nation to defend
itself against aggression.
