are to be tried here before the same
bar Of justice on the charge OF MUIR

On the same day, over in Green

They are the survivors of n dozen dc .
tectives who fought the gun battle
with the twenty-four other defend
ants. These five are charged with the
killing of Mayor G. c. FISHERMAN OF

GRIPPING BATTLE STORY.
The story OF the battle--and what
lies back OF it's one of the most
gripping in the history of industrial
warfare The guilt or innocence OF
the accused can be established only
by the court. The system Of espion-
age that has this whole mine region
in its grip makes il virtually impos-
sible for newspaper correspondents
to obtain all the facts without color
or bias.
What follows was learned, besides
from eye-witnesses. from Neil Burk-
inshaw. Washington lawyer and in
dustrial investigator. who recently
made a thorough investigation of
conditions and delved more deeply
than anyone else has hitherto been
able to do, into the history of tne
great mine war.
It was in the afternoon of May ~
last that the twelve detectives em-
ployes of the Baldwin-Felts Agency,
came to Matewan from Red Jacket
Intz
they had been evicting union miners
and their families at the point of the
gun, giving some of them only ten
minutes TO get out The detectives
came to Matewan to catch a train.
PEOPLE IN UGLY MOOD.
The people OF Hatewan were in an
ugly mood Many OF the families that
had been driven out by those detec-
tives had been forced TO seek shelter
under the open sky; some had pitched
their bedstesds on the hills, some
had sought refuge in caves and lived
there for days, some for two weeks.
till they could get tents-lived like
animals.
1t is the general charge around
Matewsn tfat the detectives wero
professional strikebreakers--gu
employed by the coal operators for
the purpose OF evictIng union miners,
and that some of those killed had
acted as strikebreakers in the Lud-
low war in Colorado. However this
is a point for the courts to decide; II

The world needs production. The
employers have been saying 80 Tor

ago. Now they have stopped saying
SO.
The reason is not that the world
needs have been satisfied. The rea-
son is twofold: Imitation is coming
out of the business structure, and in
the process employers see what they
believe to be an opportunity to cut
wages, though there has been no IN

also, in large degree, improper euting.
Horace Fletcher, who gave to the
world so much on the way to eat and
what to eat, advocated the long masti-
cation Of foods, chewing twice as long.
and in consequence the appetite Is
satisfied with much less food.
A simple experiment which has
been often repeated Is that of chewing
q mouthful Of bread and butter until
1t swallows itself, without any effort,
twill develop flavor in the mouth
which will be surprise to all rapid
eaters. The starch Is partly changed
by the action of the saliva which is
never noticed when food is bolted.
On busy day the house mother who
can serve wholesome one-piece dish
which will be sufficiently satisfying is
using economy both of time and Of
fuel. There are any number of such
dishes from chowders to casserole
dishes. The following has been given
several times but may be repeated, it
is so good: Put sufficient sliced pota-
toes in shallow baking pan, for the
family, cover with finely sliced
onion and pork chops fried on one side
and placed cooked side down on the
potatoes. Season well and bake until
the potatoes are tender. No moisture
need be added unless the potatoes have
lost much moisture.
A salad dressing which is very good
and Is always ready to serve on any
kind Of salad is made of corn Oil
added little at time to beaten
yolk with lemon Juice, just as one
makes mayonnaise. 1t looks and tastes
almost as good as olive oil mayon-
naise. To this dressing may be added
for variety chopped onion, peppers, eel
cry, peas or any cooked vegetable at
hand. The same dressing plain with
whipped cream added makes a good
dressing on fruit salad.

CAPITAL FOLKS
CAN'T PAY BILLS
City Won't Permit Them to Take Up
Bonds in Advance.

Tallahassee, Aug. 26.-(Special.)-
At a meeting of the city commission
ers, last night, an interesting point
was raised when a prominent citizen
appeared before that body and ten
dered the full payment for all grading
and curbing certificates held against
his property, in advance of their face
value.
His offer was rejected because it
was centended that bonds were issued
to cover these deferred payments. The
bonds bear s percent interest, and
should the city accept the full pay
ment of the principal only, it would
stand to lose the unaccrued interest.
1t is said that at the time the inn
provements were made, the city gave
the property owRers an opportunity to
settle the amounts assessed against
their property, and having let this
time lapse, the city then issued bonds
to cover the Indebtedness, and gave
the property holders 10 years in
which to make annual payments with
interest. The matter has been left
in allegiance until the city attorney,
Hon. Fred T. Myers, shall have the
opportunity to render an opinion en-
the subject.
