A store of opium and other narcotics

opium to its sellers. They became inter-
ested in the Bennett couple. who were

way. but who soon left their quarters
and moved to the King James.
Yesterday afternoon the three detec-
tives went to the hotel aud telephoned
to'the couples suite on the ground floor

wanted TO see them. They were told to
Come in.
When Bennett opened the door one OF
the three seized him and the others
rushed into the room. According to
their story they found Male Malloy re-
clining on the bed with an opium pipe
still smoking near her. The detectives
ransaCked the room and inside "A box

For more than three days the situa.
ton had been so serious that the Sheriff
himself had told the Governor that he
reeded the aid OF uniformed men, be-
cause the foreigners were impressed
only by a display Of something that
represented the dignity OF the State.
But by Sunday with the arrest OF the
guards whom the strikers detested the
Sheriff began to gain more confidence
among the strikers.
Even after the conciliators appointed
by the Department OF Labor had failed
the Sheriff went TO George G. Hennessy,
superintendent of the standard Oil Com
pany. and told Mm the necessity OF the
company's making concessions TO tn.

II YOU will give me your word OF
honor" he said to Mr., Hennessy, that

men ! will have them back to work"

He called them to a meeting In Nv

Up to the time OF that meeting the
Sheriff had done several things that
patty with them. He or his deputies
never passed the Greek Catholic Church
near the works without removing their
hats. Next, when he arrested two OF
the guards, he made them get down
on their knees TO show the strikers that
he had the guards absolutely cowed.

MOVIE METHODS ENDED
! STRIKE, X SAYS
Men Won Over by Teaching
Them American Ideals in
a. Series Of Pictures.

Some critics over in Hudson county
say that Sheriff Eugene +. K~inkead-the
man who did the double duty Of sup
pressing lawlessness and settling tho
strike over in Bayonne by winning an
Increase for the men-would make a
good movie actor. But persons who OBJ
served the methods used by the Sheriff
and understood from the man himself
something of the psychological reasons
governing his acts insist that during the
strike Gene-everybody calls him that
not only was a movie actor, but also
scenario writer. stage manager. producer
and exhibitor, all rolled in one Fur
thermore. he displayed the qualities of
understanding men. making them believe
in him and finally getting them to do
what was really best for themselves.
There is no better way OF describing
the work accomplished by the Sheriff
than by likening 1t to a movie picture.
When the results are compared with
what the Sheriff desired to accomplish
and the methods he hit upon the smile
is a fitting one.
In the FIVE days that he handled the
situation. or struggled to work out his
aims. he went unarmed among the strik-
crs. who were armed with revolvers and
who at times tool aim at him and did
hit him with bricks. lie walked up TO
guards of the oil plants who had their
rifles pointed at him and VINO had
threatened to get him. lie forced them
by his own ner ?. to lay down their arms
and submit to arrest. He worked among
the strikers until he had won their con-
hdence and then. having proved himself
their friend. he went to the Standard Oil
Company and got a promise Of increased
wages for the men II they would go
back. He did that after the Federal me-
diators had failed.

The Sheriff knew something %, the
conditions over in the Hook section of
Baynnre. lie had learned them when As
a boy he used to drive a delivery wagon.
He knew the calibre = the men and
their absolute disregard Of life. SO the
first thing that the Sheriff did when
he motored down TO the rioting district
was 70 stop in the mids OF the strikers
and speak = them.
He appealed TO them 10 he peaceful.
He told them he came among them as
a friend and he was ready to help ,nen
up in his automobile in the
most dangerous section Of East Twenty
second street he advised the str,kere
10 appoint "A committee TO voice their
grievances and he promised to see that
those leaders got an opportunity to
present their demands. to the company's
officials.
From that crowd Jeremiah Baly smoke
up. The Sheriff did net ike his looks
and suspected him Immediately. but ne
invited him 10 his automobile and ad-
vlsed the necessity Of the strikers or
ganizing themselves into a union so that
they could represent all the men. He
suggested that the strikers hold a meet
ing and then come to him. The Sheriff
addressed the first meeting and sought
TO impress upon the strikers something
OF the rights that workingmen have in
this country. While he was cheered he
knew from the violence and the rioting
that continued that he had not driven
his ideas home.
While the Sheriff. lacking any sor, OF
uniformed force that could cope with
the strikers. was learning their demands
he also was getting a dehnite line on
the men and how they we're collecting
ammunition and rifles for still greater
destructive work. He swocped down on
Mydosh Hall one night n captured
fifty rifles and a considerable amount OF
ammunition.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-07-28

To do all that the Sheriff staged a
movie drama. all his own brain work. He
used mis- drama first. as a means OF win
ming the friendship of the strikers, and
second. as a means Of impressing upon
them what legal rights they had what
they could do under the Constitution and
what they could not do. He showed them
the value of being organized and OF con-
quoting themselves In a peaceful man
ner and then. having ione that. he got
them an Increase and he was prepared

Inc sheriff knew that he was dealing
with Foreigners. many OF them ignorant
OF the English language and all of
them urversed in American deals. The
Snerln knew that TO get certain ideas
INTO their heads he had to use A Il e
methods. and the easiest device that he
could nit upon was the movies. In his
z ing n coming among strikers he
fesorted TO many Theatre devices. the
American flag. the parading of guards
under arrest with hands uplifted. the
beating OF striker synpathizers whom he
had exposed as having Interior motives
and being really injurious TO the strikers
themselves.
The sheriff has the personality tor

to Bayonne last Wednesday after the
city officials had admitted they could
not control the strike situation. He is

Expense of Convicting Again.

Occasionally one sees accounts in the
papers Of the trial and conviction OF
persons who received executive elem
ency during the former administration.
Last January Governor Blease paroled
negro who had served seven years OF
life sentence in the penitentiary for
committing murder in Oconee county.
Several days ago this negro was arrest
ed in Columbia for being drunk and dis
orderly, having a 38 calibre pistol in his
grasp as the officer served the war
rant. When such characters are con-
victed of serious crime they should be
required to serve the full sentence
rather than be turned loose on society
again, it, too, being only matter of a
short time before the State will have
the expense of convicting them for
some other crime.

tatMr.. Lloyd George, who is working
hard and probably effectively to bring
Britain's production of munitions up to
the necessary level, is taking occasion
in his speeches to emphasize fact
upon which little stress has been laid
as yet in current comment in America.
1t is the fact that the military situa-
ton as it exists in Europe to-day is the
best circumstantial evidence as yet af-
forded in rebuttal of the German
contention that the war was deliber-
ately forced upon the central empires
as result of the Vaccinations Of
the Entente Powers under the leader
ship Of England.
"After ten months of warfare we
see Germany and Austria amply
supplied with munitions. On the
other hand, we see in Russia fatal
shortage of munitions, in Great Brit
ain serious shortage in France sup
ply which is evidently only just suffi-
cient, if it is sufficient, to meet the
needs of the situation. In other words,
Germany and Austria entered the war
so thoroughly prepared that ten months
of lavish expenditure of powder and
shells has not reduced their supply to
the danger point, whereas. Russia,
Great Britain, and France entered the
war so i'll prepared that ten months of
fighting has reduced their supply of
powder and shell far beyond the dan
ger point.
"The causes of the clash of interests
which has resulted in war cannot be
summed up in a phraise. They are
complex and they run far back into
history. Nor is the fixing of the res
possibility for the resort to arms as a
means of settling this conflict of in
terests an easy task. But there is
one fact that underlies all others, and
this fact is clearer to-day than at any
other time since the war began. 1t is
the fact that Germany was thoroughly
prepared and equipped for the war,
while her foes were not. 1t is idle to
try to make intelligent people believe
that this fact has no bearing upon the
the question of responsibility.

The Right Man at Last.

If we are to judge Governor Harris
by statements made in his inaugural
address of few days ago, we are con-
vinced that the people of Georgia have
made no mistake in electing him, hav-
ing chosen man who, like Governor
Manning, stands first, last and all the
time, for law enforcement. We want
to see Governor Harris do for Augusta
and Savannah what Governor Manning
is doing for Charleston in the matter
of closing blind tigers. The cities
should be made to understand that they
can not set at naught laws that were
enacted by the people of the State.
We believe that lawlessness has about
run its course in the cities. The people
of the rural districts, who are the bone
nd sinew of the. country, will not long
er stand for it. With this end in view,
we expect to see the governor of Geor-
gia and the Legislature now in session
improve conditions in the cities.
Governor Harris had the following
to say in his inaugural address with
reference to law enforcement:
.I may be little old-fashioned in
INV notions, but I believe that the laws
of the state are enacted to be obeyed.
Otherwise the state would soon ac-
quire a body of professional law
breakers who would bring great de-
moralization on the people at large and
no small shame on the lovers of JUS
tice and right throughout the common
wealth. A state in whose bounds the
criminal laws cannot be enforced has
Fretrograded,, and her civilization is
moving backward towards the earlier
DAYS when might was the only law
and court houses and jails unknown.
1t is far better to repeal law than to
allow its violation to continue with
impunity. do not believe any COM
munity ought to be allowed to abro-
gate d criminal statute enacted for the
welfare of the whole state, no matter
what the local opinion may be:
!. sLiquor selling. is not allowed in
Georgia, therefore liquor selling snoulc
cease, just as gambling and stealing
and murder and other crimes should
be put down. While the law exists
the majority demand enforcement, and
the majority should rule in this gov
ernment.
"For my part, I believe the prohibi-
tion law is salutary, reasonable, eco
nomic, and in aid of good government.
1t is only one way of bringing about
temperance in the commonwealth. 1t
is strong auxiliary in the crusade
for the betterment of the race, for its
uplift and reform. The nations of the
earth are fast coming to realization
of the evils of intemperance: The
safety of the state---its very life---is
concerned. The fate of the living and
of millions yet unborn hangs on the
work of this age. Statesmen, soldiers,
great thinkers, great legislators, are
busy with this problem. 1t reaches
far beyond the demands of human lib
erty; it is concerned with the very
lives of the people themselves.

30 2 -. Z . .
On June IS, at the University
hospital in Augusta, Ca, the spirit
of Leila Talbert Stone returned to
Ged who gave it. Mrs. Stone had
been in delicate health for years,
and having moved to Augusta, de-
cided to be operated on, the op-
Grafton being performed by DR..
Hull. All that skill and nurs-
ing could do was done, but she lin
gered from June the 4th until the
18th, when God took her home to
Himself.
Leila was the second daughter of
the late Col. John Talbert of Re-
hoboth, and about 25 years ago was
married to Mr.. J. H. Stone of Parks
Vile. 1t was time of great re-
joicine, as is always the case when
new homes are made, yet this re-
rejoicing to the thoughtful is al
ways tinged with sadness, because
we know, that all our happy homes
must be broken up sooner or later
by the relentless hand of death, and
in this way ths death of Mrs. Stone
is lesson to Us all.
This new home was happy one,
as the writer can testify, because he
was often in it in the sacred rala-
tion of family physician, whose OBJ
servations during sickness and dis
tress makes him competent to testi-
fy; and our sympathles and prayers
go out now to the stricken family,
composed of a devoted husband, an
aged mother, loving sisters, and
grief stricken children of whom
there are two married daughters.
Mrs. Stone visited the home Of
her mother, brother and sister about
a month before her death, and spoke
tenderly trustfully of her faith in
God. A short time before the ope-
ration she wrote her sister, Miss
Carrie Talbert, reiterating her faith
and trust in God, which is great
solace to her family and friends be-
cause they. believe she is safe in
the arms Of Jesus"
Leila joined the Rehoboth' Bap-
list church., the church of her pa
rents, when quite young and died
in the faith. Death to her had no
terrors, being ROBBED of it's sting by
a child-like trust in her Saviour.
To her aged mother, devoted hus-
band, brothers, sisters and children
heaven is brig hter, and we are all
consoled by the fact, that while she
cannot come back to U.s., we can go
to her. Peace to her ashes.
