Thanksgiving

As the old year sadly drifts out ward to the sunless sea, we are thank ful for the gifts we've received abund- antly. We are thankful for the wealth we can earn when we are employed, we are thankful for the health which the docs have not destroyed. We are thankful for the shacks, neat and warm, in which we lodge, thankful for the income tax-which we'll now pro- ceed to dodge. Thankful that the win try gust which will shortly shriek and prance is not furnished by trust, which would charge us in advance. Thankful as we shovel snow, that summertime is gone, when we used to have to go, sweating blood, to mow the lawn. Thankful that our credits good with the coal man-till it fails who weighs out his coal and wood on apothecary's scales. Thankful for so many things! For this turkey 'mong the rest; thankful for the legs and wings, if we cannot get the breast! Thankful for cranberry sauce, and the saffron pumpkin pie; any mans to- tai loss wno on gratitude is shy! Let us sign hymn of praise, sing it with abounding nerve; we've been favored all our days, blessed with more than we deserve.-Ex.

Washington, December 2l (special) That there is no conspiracy among dem cratic leaders to prevent the nomination lir St rscisss nsst Juae of Wilson, and that even were there such covert schemes afoot, he would not be a party thereto, was the gist of the statement issued this afternoon by Senator Underwood of Ala bama.
 The statement was regarded as pertinent on account of the publication in the Washington Post this morning of dis patch from the Baltimore Star, in which it was stated that Senator Underwood had privately informed Speaker Clark that if he wanted the democratic nomina- ton he could depend on the Alabamian's s support.
 II have never discussed the question of the nomination with Speaker Clark" said Senator Underwood in refuting the story of the Post, and in formal interviews have made it plain that am a supporter of President Wilson. ] do not believe that

DISAPPEARANCE OF
 VILLA IS PUZZLE
 ID J. s. OFFICIALS
Family Apparently Intends to Go to Cuba-Conflict- ing Reports as to the
 Movements of Chief

Washington. December 21.-Rioting among the Villa soldiers at Juarez is regarded by state department officials as an incident that will not affect the general situation In northern Mex ico, where the de facto government rapidly is extending it's authority over the territory formerly held by Villa. Reports from Juarez tonight indicated that the Carranza authorities would suppress disorder among the soldiers without serious difficulty
 General Villas whereabouts still are unknown here. The state departments latest reports are conflicting, one say ing that he moved northward from Chihuahua with his 400 men and an other that he went southward. Conf dence in the assurance of Villas agents that he will come into the United States and the fact that his wife has left El Paso for the east, apparently intending to go to Cuba. has caused officials to cling to the belief that the missing man soon will appear on the American side of the boundary
 Reports received at the Mexican em- bassy say General Trevino is stead fly moving his carranza army north ward from Torreon, repairing the rail- road as he advances and that his van- guard is at Santa. Rosalia. a short distance south of Chihuahua
 If there occurs no further hitch in the control of Juarez by the de facto government troops 1t is probable that ,t- American territory to strengthen that garrison. permitting the mustering out

ANTHRACITE COAL
 CASE COMES BEFORE
 THE SUPREME COURT
Labor Troubles in Arkansas Coal
 Fields Also Come Under Sher- man Antitrust Law

Washington. December 1.-Two far reaching suits under the Sherman anti trust law reached the supreme court today, one involving the anthracite coal business in Pennsylvania and the other growing out of labor troubles in the Arkansas coal fields
 The government appealed from the decision of the federal district court in eastern Pennsylvania which sus- tained only partially the Attorney Gen. erals contentious in the suit to dis solve a number of alleged Illegal com binations of railroads and coal com panies in the Pennsylvania anthracite field. It is understood the coal inter- ests may file cross appeal.
 The second case was an appeal by A. S. Dowd, receiver for the Coronado Coal company and associated com panies in Sebastian county. Arkansas, from the decision of the federal dis trict court in western Arkansas dis missing the receivers suit against the United Mine Workers of America and its local unions And officers for s1,- 2S3,0 900 as treble damages for alleged conspiracy and combination in viola tion of the Sherman law.

UnderzUOod Refutes
 Conspiracy Charges
Rumos That Alabama Senator Would Support Speaker Clark for the Presidential Nomination at St. Louis Denied in
 Ringing Appeal for Loyalty to the President
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Speaker Clark is a candidate for the nom- nation. In my opinion, it would be un- wise for the democratic leaders to split among themselves, for then we would simply he aiding in defeating ourselves. + we can win, We can win with Wilson. If Wilson cannot win. then no other dem ocrat, in my opinion, can win.
 We have a big fight before us. If we achieve the victory we will long remain in power. But should we lose, there would probably ensue another quarter century of republican domination.
 Tt is, therefore, very important that we hang together. Certainly 1 will not dis turb democracys peace by aspiring to high honor myself, or secretly promising aid to ainy man.
 The story ill the Post was to the effect that rebellion had broken out in the ranks of the democratic party. It was said that the west was crying for Clark and the east and south for Underwood And in course of the narrative written by the Washington correspondent of the BaIti- more Star. "close friend of Clark and Underwood was quoted as having stated that the Alabamian had promised his sup port to the speaker in his alleged presi- dential aspirations
