ments standing against him in Su-
perior Court. He is yet to be tried
on the misdemeanor charge of con-
cealing the murder of Mrs Sam
Duckworth after he had helped her
husband, convicted of her murder,
throw her body in the well.
The case was submitted to the jury
with little testimony and little argu-
ment. The chief witness for the
state was Sam Duckworth, convicted
last week for the murder of his wife.
He told the jury that ne and the ne
gro had been engaged jointly in max
ing liquor at the still which the Off
GERS found at his home in searching
the premises following the murder.
Sheriff Harvey and Deputy Sheriff
Summer were the other two wit
nesses for the state, telling of the
finding of the still at the Duckworth
place. Ware lives only a short dis
tance from the Duckworth home.
Ware was placed on the stand by
his attorney, Robert Hawkins, and
in his statement to the jury he de
MED the charge in toto.
In the arguments to the jury So
Iicitor FELTON, called for verdict fix
ing the penalty at the limit of the
law for such offenses-fve years.
"For if there ever was a case of this
kind in which the limit should be
given it is this" he told the jury.
Attorney Hawkins, while admitting
there was no little alternative for
the jury than to return verdict of
guilty. under the evidence, demand
ed that a lesser penalty than the limit
be fixed by the jury.

TALK OF FIGHT ON
 DRY LAW ALL BLUFF?
tRepubIiean A. p. Leased wirel

NEWARK, N. J., Dec. 25.-The con templated attack on the constitution ality of the federal prohibition amend ment. announced yesterday by Cover nor-elect Edwards of New Jersey, after he takes office January 1, and his intention to induce the legislature to 1egalize the sale of beer and light wines in the state, were characterized today as bluff by G. Rowland Nun roe, attorney for the New Jersey anti saloon league.
 MT. Edwards is simply endeavoring to make good some of the rash prom ises he made in his campaign, Nun roe said Tt is extremely doubtful If Mir Edwards, a democrat, will have the support of the republican legis- lature in his fight on the dry law. The Antisaloon league will have no part in the fight, except that our na- tional counsel, Wayne E. Wheeler, I suppose, will be permitted to file a brief, as he has done in similar cases in other states"

TACOMA, Wash, Dec. 25.-John D. Hewitt treasurer of the Wilkeson Coal and Coke company, received a report tonight that fighting had broken out between union and non-union miners at the company's mine at Wilkeson, Washington. He telephoned at once to Governor Hart, asking that troops be rushed to Wilkeson.
 T have been informed tonight that union miners at WiIkeson attacked several of our union men and beat them up,'' said Mir. Hewitt. Il under stand that they formed in quite a large force and started for our mine works but were turned back by some of our deputies.
 T have asked for troops to protect our miners and the mine property and am awaiting a reply from Governor Hart
 The Wilkeson Coal and Coke com- pany is operating on an open shop basis.
 Advices to Sheriff Thomas Morris from WiIkeson stated that two non- union men who arrived in Wilkeson from here today were taken off an au- tomobile and beaten by a crowd, and that a third man arriving later met with a demonstration but was offered no violence
 Deputy Sheriffs, to reinforce those already at WilSeson, were sent from here tonight before the governor was appealed to for troops.

 Church congregations emerged from services at noon without finding the leagues carollers who were to sing for them in manacles and in prison garb. An all-day vigil at Trinity church downtown saw demonstrations there. Police warnings of drastic ac- ton to be taken if attempts to violate the law were made brought changes in the leagues Christmas program, not able for omissions, it was said.

TURKEY DINNERS G0
 UNEATEN IN BOWERY
 HALLS 0F CHARITY
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire]

NEW YORK. Dec. 25.-Christmas dinners went a-begging on the Bowery tonight Roast turkey with all its ..trirnmings." candy and mince pie failed to attract half as many hungry men as were served in former years. This was attributed to prosperity and prohibition.
 The famous Bowery mission served only 400 persons, where in former years they have been called to provide for at least 1900. At Hadley's rescue hall fewer than 300 appeared for dln- ner. Many missions did not serve the usual Christmas repast because of the lack of applicants
 The usual Christmas noon hour din ner at the McAuley Water Street mission was postponed because of the lack of applicants. Not a man ap- peared at noon. although 400 pounds of turkey and many good things had been prepared. A few years ago 1t was not unusual for the mission 10 feed 1900, but tonight fewer than 300 hungry men appeared.
 Outside the Bowery Christmas cheer was spread into many humble homes by organizations. institutions and in dividuals.
 The Salvation Army furnished Christmas dinners to more than 5000 families. More than 5G0 merchant sailors were entertained at a dinner
  mems society. Several army trucks bearing Christmas trees and thou sands of presents. made tours of the poorer sections
 Nearly TOGO children were made happy with gifts. valued at $14.O00. and distributed at the annual Christ mas tree celebrations of the New York lodge Of EIks. Approximately 10 tons of Christmas supplies were distributed by the Knights of Columbus to wound ed soldiers. They also provided for each sailor on the naval ships in the harbor.
 The Christmas job tree, erected by the Knights of Columbus in Lonacre Square, was covered with cards from employers inviting ex-service men to see them for employment The cards were distributed to jobless veterans as gifts.
 Policemen throughout the city acted as Santa Claus for needy families in their district. Each station house had Christmas tree and thousands of gifts and baskets were distributed by the blue coats

AMERICAN LEGION
 GIVEN GREETINGS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Dec. 25.-De- partment commanders, executive com mitteemen, alternates and adjutants of the American Legion today were sent holiday greetings by Franklin D'Olier. national commander. He thanked them for their cooperation and warned against "any future over jealous, thoughtless or unfair act which can weaken the 1egion's in fluence for national betterment."
 The message said, in part:
 The legion as an organization has become so great that we need scarcely fear any force from without, and I feel confident that not only those of us who are charged with the responsibility of administration. but all members of the American Legion feel if there is one thing against which we must be on our guard. it is any over zealous, thoughtless or unfair act on our own that can weaken or tend to destroy the legion's influence for national better ment."

Two hundred thousand Aus were captured in 1914, are living with out shelter and virtua.y without cloth ing and little food. Typhus has already killed 12.000 of the 10000 men at the Troitz camp.
 As it would need 225, ,00O,00O francs to transport the prisoners to their homes. the Red Cross fears too much time would be required to xaise such an ammount, the society says their fate can be ameliorated quickly by as- sistance from outside. Otherwise all will be dead before aid reaches them.
