Mrs. Hayden's Statement
The following statement was made by
Mrs. ]. B. Hayden:
MIR. and Mrs. Garrish were the hap
piest of couples. He came home tonight
In very happy frame of mind and chat
ted with me. Later | received a tele-
gram that my nephew, Thomas Sherer,
youth % years of age, had been in
stant1y killed this afternoon by electro
cution at the Panama canal told Mrs
Garrish about 1t and Mr.. Garrish came
downstairs to sympathize with me. He
then went upstairs and / started tele-
phoning the news of the death of my
nephew when / heard Mrs. Garrish call
ing me. l went upstairs and saw Mr..
Garrish on his back, fully dressed His
collar however, I believe, was off, and
his shirt was open. His wife was kiss
ing him and calling him pet names He
gasped a little and was given a stimu-
liant, but died while / was calling the
doctors. Before I called the doctors |
had turned his coat and saw the round
hole right about the heart and said
.Dearie, there isn't any use; he's shot
himself straight through the heart.
LAS for business troubles | don't think
that Mr.. Garrish had any, as he told
me only n few days ago that everything
was all right. I cannot account for the
shooting. / cannot say whether it was
accidental or a case of suicide"
Statement by Jones
J. W. Jones, assistant manager of the
National Cash Register company. said:
Harry Garrish was not in any bus-
ness trouble and / cannot understand
why he should kill himself In fact /
rather believe that he was fooling with
the old pistol and 1t went off and killed
him."
Examination of the pistol revealed that
1t was a .3S-calibre Iver johnson revol-
Yer in very rusty condition 1t was
fully loaded and one shell had been dis
charged However, it must have been
that the pistol was not shooting good,
for two of the cartridges had been
snapped and had apparently failed to fire.
The pistol and cartridges were taken in
charge by the police.
Funeral arrangements over the deceased
were not announced and it was stated
that none would be announced until the
son, Howard Garrish, who is travelling
salesman for the National Cash Register
company at Atlanta, could be located
and arrives in Birmingham. The de-
ceased is survived by his widow and son.

The South and Next Year.

In 4 summary OF the situation re-
spacting the republicans and the
presidency the New York Sun says:
1T Is generally conceded that the
southern states will not try 70 blaze
any trails politically. but will fall III
behind some OF the northern states
and support a candidate with an as
ccrtained and formidable following
from that section OF the country.
\ hefated policy. but good one
II rests upon wise politics and sound
sense The wonder is it was not
adopted years ago. Had II been the
republican party would have escaped
more than one scandal. and az Chi
cage in 1912 one prominent source OF
trouble would not have existed.
In the lower southern states the
republicans have had but skeleton
organization for years. At the polls
they have been powerleSs. Not an
electoral vote has been obtainable
for any OF their national tickets.
Their policies as TO the tariff and the
money issue have been preferred to
those OF the democrats by the sub
stantial business interests, but on
election day the democratic politi-
clans have invariably controlled the
situation.
And yet at the republican national
conventions the delegations from
those states have played an i'm
portant part in the making of l1orni-
nations. On more than one occasion
they have been the center OF activ-
lily in d scramble for votes. and ugly
stories have circulated as to the
means employed.
The democrats, with all the advan-
tages, have yet pursued a different
course With delegates in numbers
sufficient to turn the scale, and cleo
torial votes TO support them nailed

Chicago Strikes.

Last Saturday strike OF the union
carpenters OF Chicago that has been
IN progress since the first OF May
was settled by compromise agree
ment and when the men returned to
work Monday Chicago was free OF
labor troubles Tor the first time in
many months. Nearly every organ
IzatiOn has within the last few wears
suffered from strikes IN Chicago. with
the result that industrial conditions
in that city have been kept in seri-
Gus state OF uncertainty and heavy
losses have been entailcd upon both
employers and workers. There is ap-
parently something in the air out
there that makes for labor disputes,
and the mixed character OF the popu-
lation tends TO give them more than
ordinary sharpness and to render
them more difficult OF settlement.
Recently street Car strike was
started and continued for a day or
| two. when Mayor Thompson took a
hand and brought about an agree
mcnt by drastic methods. He sum-
moned TO his Office Representatives of
both sides, who had been fruitles sly
dickering for an adjustment, and,
| locking the door, told them that they
would be kept there until they
agreed. When they found that he
was in earnest they speedily compro-
missed on fifth arbitrator, two 9TH
ers having been named by each side,
and the strike was called off
pending AN adjustment. Virtually
the same method was adopted last
week to put an end to the carpen-
| tiers strike, which had been holding
up construction throughout Chicago
at an enormous cost. The good ef-
fects OF this settlement have been

Their chief concern has been about

The effect on the political situation
in the lower south of the decision
of the Supreme Court in the matter
OF the grandfather clause" will not
be immediate. 1t does not OF itself
operate to restore the negroes to
the status they enjoyed before they
were disfranchised by the state con-
situations. 1t simply asserts the in
tegrity and superior authority OF the
federal Constitution. Later must
come in some shape tests for voters
which will conform to the views
promulgated by the highest of our
judicial tribunals.
There are influential southern
democrats who differ with Mr. Will
son about some OF his policies, but
they are meditating no break with
him They will support him for re-
nomination. and later carry their
states for him with the power OBJ
tanned by the grandfather clause and
other agencies. The lower south will
not contribute a single electoral vote

commodity known as 'near-beer'

Midsummer.

These are trying days, hot and
humid. and despite the generally mod
crate weather that Washington has
experienced this season it is dittlcult
to endure the heat The season OF
precaution is at hand. when it is nee
essary to take thought of the daily
routine in order to avoid certain dan
gers incidental to the weather.
First OF all the food 1t is a stand
ing rule OF safety to avoid heavy diet
in midsummer Meats should be
eaten Sparingly, for they are the heat
makers. 1t has been asserted by au-
thoritics on the subject of health that
the average person eats much more
than is necessary or wholesome.
This warming should be especially
observed in summer.
Dress scnsibly, in lightweight gar
ments. white preferred, as reflector
rather than an abSorber OF the heat.
Summer clothing need not be scanty,
so long as it is not burdcnsomc.
Move leisurely, and especially in
the sun. Every quick, nervous move
ment in summer is all invitation to
disorder. Take things coolly. and dis
count the heat by your own tempera-
ture OF mind and body.
Try to think about something else
than the weather when the days are
very hot. If any one starts talking
about how hot it is. switch the con-
versation. The heat is bad enough,
but iteration OF the theme as an
hourly subject OF discourse is demon
alizing and makes for trouble.
The midsummer perils are largely
personal. and can be avoided by COM
mon sense. Everybody has some OF
that and should apply it when ii is
most needed. when the days are
scorching and the nights are suffo-
eating. Philosophy and patience will
carry through the dog days with ease
if not with perfect comfort.

wildly illustrative of the folly and
the cost OF the strike method OF set

rush OF work after suspension of
industry. The new mayor OF Chi

practical direct dealings that should
cause the business interests of Chi
cago to be grateful for his election.
