HAS NOT RETAINED LAWYER
Evelyn Thaw May Not Oppose Hue
bands Divorce Suit.

New York Sept. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, her little son Russell. and her
dancing partner, Jack Clifford, re-
turned from Clifford's camp in the
Adriondacks, where they have spent
several months hunting and fishing.
She and Russell are enjoying most ro-
bust health.
Mrs. Thaw. or Evelyn Nesbit, as she
prefers to be called now. says that her
position is precisely as she announced
when Harry X Thaw first said that he
would seek a divorce. She said that
she had no occasion to revise her
statement that she has no interest in
Thaw or his money. Harry Thaw
can do as he pleases," she said. "He
can go as far as he likes without in
reference from me-"
She protested all along that she did
not want to discuss Thaw or anything
connected with him. She assured the
reporter that that she has not retained
a lawyer to represent her in the d.
vorce proceedings and probably would
not do so

engaged posse of citizens for more
than one hour. Two Mexicans are re-
ported killed here. The remainder es-
capped in the brush and cactus.
From Harlinger comes the report
that this section is cleared Of bandits.
This is due TO the fact that more than
one thousand troops are stationed In
the vicinity.
One Mexican is reported killed near
Mission. Some three hundred shots
were fired during the day across the
border.
II Is said that there are at least
fifty bands Of Mexicans operating over
the large territory and II will be some
time before the country is cleared or

Robert Pickett was shot from am
bush at night, and the fact that IL
was alleged TO have been an old
grudge between the two buckets
and other circumstances brought out
at the inquiry, caused a warrant TO
be issued for Bud Pickett.
AT an examining trial Monday the
accused man was held over TO the
grand jury under 5000 bail. The
wounded man is still in the hospital
at Winchester and his physician
holds out little hope for his recov-
cry.
Bud Pickett claims he is innocent
and says he will be able TO estab-
lish an alibi.

The work Of constructing pixies
to all parts Of the County and the
Dixie Highway is under way.
The city is constructing a large
modern brick and concrete school
building and extending its ma
cadam streets. Captain Golden
has just received plans from his
architect for large modern
hotel and garage, which he ex-
poets to construct here.

perintendent Mcintosh as instructor.
Professor Lewis needs no indorse-
ment other than 10 say that he is
graduate Of one Of three greatest
public institutions Of the State -
the State University-and has been
for eleven years instructor in one Of
the foremost endowed schools. not
only Of the State, but all the South
land. He is well acquainted with
the public school system Of the
state and thoroughly understands
the many defects. In his inslruc-
tions, he points out to the teachers
these faults and instructs them how
to go back to their respective schools
and incorporate more efficient sys-
TENS Of instruction and school man
agement.
Judging from the expressions Of
the teachers, who are enthusiastic
ally inspired by Professor Lewis
method Of instruction, we belive him
to be among the most capable and
popular instructors the County has
ever had. His gospel Of public
school reform is not meant for the
teachers only, but the trustees, pat
rons, and public in general. A hearty
welcome is extended TO all TO at

We extend TO Professor Lewis a
hearty welcome TO our town and as
sure him in our meager way all the
courtesy and hospitality possible

reliable. OF course. naval protection
involves problems different from the
military, but SO far as the army is con-
cerned it seems to me that we must
maintain small standing army and
give the masses of the people an op-
portunity for military training that
shall prepare them to be readily avail
able for the defense of the nation. Any
such policy must be worked out care
fully upon a voluntary basis, providing
for equal opportunities for all. Any
plan that is based upon professional
distinctions or any other distinction
that has resulted from special oppor-
tunities available to few has tend
ency to foster one of the evils of mill
tartsm-that is, military castles.
Whenever those who join in mill
tary camps or military training must
file applications stating their profess
sions or callings. the officers in charge
of this work are given a degree OF
discretion which will enable them
to create and encourage undemocratic
customs. The greatest protection
against the dangers of militarism can
be secured through making military
training voluntary and as general as
possible and through fostering in the
citizens the best conception of their
duties as American citizens.

SCHOONER FOUND DISABLED.
The Edwin Hunt Being Towed Into
Port by the Cutter Apache.

Sailors are going to the farms. and
farmers to sea" a maritime adage of
new coinage since the advent of the
steamer has made unnecessary the deep
sea education of the seafaring man
who used to run the sailing ships, is
demonstrated in the case of the dis
abled schooner Edwin Eunt, now being
towed into port by the coast guard
cutter Apache. The Apache picked up
the schooner, anchored off coast, fifty
miles south of Cape Henry and close to
False Cape. and is towing her into
Hampton roads.
The only thing the matter with the
Edwin Hunt is d broken rudder head
which has made il impossible to steer
her with the regular steering gear
Had there been an old-time master
aboard some sort of Il jury rudder
would have been improvsed, and the
vessel would have proceeded under her
own sails. probably at impeded speed,
but still manageable.

Suggests a Method.

"One method that would promote this
purpose is to make the naval and mill
tary national schools open to any one
who desires to enter. and who has the
necessary qualifications, just as en-
trance to all other institutions of
higher learning is open to those who
desire to take courses in those institu-
tions This policy would enable those
with ability and with ambition for that
kind of work to render service to their
country, and at the same time would
create such large available supply
of men trained to serve as officers that
we could feel that we had adequate
protection and at the same time had
safeguarded against the evils OF mill
tarism.
when service in the army and navy
is voluntary and is open to all. and the
commander-in-c -chief of both the army
and navy is an elected person directly
responsible to the people. it seems to
me that the greatest possible precau-
ton has been taken to secure our ma
tional protection without cndangerin2
the freedom of the people. This plan

as he considers the measures now being
taken adequate to prevent all possi-
bility of accident or error. Submarine
commanders have been instructed not
only not to torpedo passenger steam
ers without warning them and giving
passengers and crew an opportunity to
escape unless the liners attempt 10
fight or run away when hailed. but also
to adopt the safe course when there
is the slightest doubt as to the inten-

Peace. Founded Upon Justice.

You know. of course, that while the
organized labor movement of the coun-
try advocates peace, it advocates peace
founded upon justice. and not peace at
any price. Our experience with the
practical affairs of life has taught us
that we can secure justice and recog-
hition for our necessary demands only
when we are prepared to protect our
demands and to enforce our ideals of
justice. The principles which underlie
the policies of the labor movement are
in general the same fundamental prin-
ciples that underlie any relation of life,
whether as individuals or as a nation.
There is always a, danger associated
with military service growing out of
professionalism. By this ! mean the
natural desire that any individual has
to promote his profession and to have
an opportunity to use it. Just as law
yer viii usually advocate the law as
the best agency for securing his ends,
so the military men will usually advo-
cate military force as the best method
for securing national purposes"
