Sheridan Woman Through Accident
 Swallows Poison

Mrs. R. R. Posey, wife of lawyer of Sheridan, who Sunday took poison by mistake, has recovered, according to Dr. J. L. Butler of Sheridan, who last night said over long distance telephone that Mrs. Posey took bl- cloride of mercury, thinking it calomel. Mrs. Posey did not suffer any fatal effects from the poison, owing to the promptness of her hus- band in summoning a physician.
 It was at first reported that Mrs. Posey's motive was suicide, but as no reason for her act was known, it is now believed that she took the bl- cloride through a mistake, accord ing to the statement of Dr. Butler.
 It was reported that Mrs. Posey came to the front door and called to her husband and children, who were in the front yard. When they en- tered the house, Mrs. Posey fell across the bed, and in answer to inquiries of her husband, pointed to a small bottle lying on the dresser, whereupon MT. Posey called doctor.
 Later advices, however, maintain that Mrs. Posey had no suicide in- tent and that she swallowed thu poison thinking it calomel.

WILSON LOOKS ON RAILWAY STRIKE
 WITHOUT ALARM
President Declares That Sit- uatiOn Is Not
 Serious.

Washington, June 22-A report on the railroad strike situation was laid before President Wilson at today's cabinet meeting by Secretary Payne, acting in his capacity as director gen. eral of the railway administration but action was delayed after Presi- dent Wilson had declared that the situation was so improved that ac- tion was not necessary by the gov ernment.
 The general opinion in the cabinet was that since the wage award of the railway labor board, when made would be retroactive to last May |, other action would be unnecessary unless the strike took far more serious turn.
 Secretary Payne's report on the situation was prepared after con- ference with w. N. Doaok, vice-presi- dent of the Brotherhood of Trainmen, and other labor leaders.

 JAIL AND ESCAPES
''Well, Goodbye, Pm Gone y He Says and
 Departs.

"Well I'm gone -good-by," said Henry Goldsmith, negro, as he left tn ecounty jail shortly before 9 o'clock. The negro had just climbed over the high iron fence at the rear of the jail and was standing in the alley talking to several prisoners up- stairs as Officer J. E. Midebrook of hte police department came up the alley. Officer Middlebrook thought Goldsmith merely a visitor convers- ing with the other prisoners and passed on, thinking nothing unusual had happened.
 The negro then walked on down the alley-free. Fifteen minutes later his escape wa sdiscovered by County Jailer Everettt, but up to q late hour last night the prisoner had not been apprehended.
 In some way Goldsmith had se- cured short piece of iron, with which he had picked bricks loose and made hole in the wall, working daily and concealing his efforts with a blanket. The hole was made just below window facing the alley.
 Goldsmith was placed in jail about two months ago on charge of for gery. He was trusty and had ac- cess to the runway or "bull pen" in- side the jail. one of his jobs being to feed the other prisoners.
 He was arrested by authorities out side of Jefferson county and, at the time of his arrest, it is said that he was shot, and that he still limps slightly in his left leg. He is de- scribed as very black, short, and about 25 years old.

 New Haven, Conn.,, June 22.-The following statement was made by the general chairman of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Engine men, Order of Railway Conductors and Brotherhood of Railway Train men, this afternoon.
 "It is true there is much unrest among he railway employees and there is good reason on account of the long delay in the wage increase being granted to them, which is caused by the failure of the railway adminis- tration to grant an increase prior to the end of federal control; also to the failure of the railroads to agree to an increase of wages at confer ences held with representatives of the organizations in March, 1920.
 "In April, 1920, the labor board was created as provided for in the trans portation act of 1920. Since then this board has functioned and it is our understanding that all members have devoted their entire time to hearings and consideration of the wage ques- tions submitted.

 General suffering is expected if deliveries of foodstuffs are not re- sumed soon. Mail from the morning train was taken to the postoffice by military escort, but was undeliv- cred as the postman feared to ven- ture on the streets.
 Cross channel sailings have been suspended. Several boaats are lying up the harbor waiting an opportun- ity to discharge, which is impossible aat present with firing going on about the docks.
 The promised reinforcements had not arrived up to a late hour tIs evening. During the night sand bags and other barricades were thrown up by the Unionists and Nationalists.
 Shortly after II o'clock this morn ing, firing was heard in many parts of the town. Later crowds of the IlVdl ldCIlOHS WcIe oCCH I1dA ShiH6 about carrying arms openly. One crowd wrecked a saloon on the water front and what intoxicants the crowd did not drink were thrown into the stream The crowd did not disperse until the police had charged several times. There was much firing but no serious casualties.
 William Kane, who was shot at 8 o'clock this morning, died an hour later. He stated he was held against wall by man whose name he gave and shot. Two others were wounded today. Both were non-batants who were proceeding along the street.
 The funeral of Edwin Price, who was killed Saturday night, was largely attended today, although 1t had been announced it would be prl- vate. Price came from the United States to join an Ulster regiment du- ring the war.

 Before the Court

Paris June 22.-The divorce case of Frank Jay Gould versus Edith Kelly Gould came up in the first chamber of the French courts to- day. Former Permier. Vivian repre- senting MT. Gould asked for an abso- lute divorce on various grounds.
 Attorney Zurfluts, in behalf of Mrs Gould, argued that the French tribu- nals were incompetent to try the case which he declared was exclus- ively the province of the American courts. Prosecutor of the Republic Wattine will sum up the case June 29.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1920-06-23

compelled TO ask for the higher rates. The reason
can be summarized again here.
We are selling product al the same rate as
that prevailing in 1914 whereas the cost OF everything
that enters into it, manufacture has mounted skvward.
