COURT BLOCKS
PARTY EFFORTS
Colored Voters Fail in Plea for
Recognition.

Names Of candidates Of the Independent
Republican party will not be placed on
the official election ballots because OF the
action OF Superior Judge T. j. Moll IN
sustaining a demurrer Of the Marion
County election board
The decision Of the court apparently
ends litigation extending over q period Of
about ten days which started when the
county election board began questioning
the petition Of the colored voters ask
ing that members Of their own race be
placed on a party ticket.
The refusal of Judge Moll to issue n
mandate requiring tn eboard to place
the names OF the colored candidates on
the ballots was based on the grounds
that a sufficient number Of applicants
bad not signed the original petition ask
ing for the placing Of the candidates
names on the ticket
The petition arst asked that the name
OF the new party be known as the In
dependent Republican party and the en-
biem be & bust of Lincoln.
This the election board, by its major
ity membership. refused 70 accept and
substituted a cut Of a pair OF scales as
the party emblem.
The party members then stated that
the name Of the Independents would mol
be Objectionable and asked that the
emblem be an elephant.
This the board refused 10 accept and
the colorsd Republicans took the case to
court in a fruitless effort TO get the
names OF their candidates on the ticket

WORKERS MAY
TAKE BALLOT
Referendum Considered if Ac
ceptable Peace Formula
Is Obtained.
DISCUSS SETTLEMENT

LONDON, Oct 26.-There were further
indications today that progress was be
ing made toward a settlement of the ma
tional coal strike.
Following a meeting Of the executive
committee of the Federation of Miners
during the morning representatives Of the
strikers called upon Premier Lloyd
George to continue the discussion of the
governments terms.
Later In the day representatives Of the
colliery owners joined the conference.
Frank Hodges, secretary of the Fed
GRAFTON of Miners, said that in the event
an acceptable peace formula was worked
out it would be necessary to call full
meeting Of the miners delegates to de
eide whether to submit the terms to the
miners throughout the whole country.
If it is decided to do so a referendum
ballot would be taken throughout tbs
coal fields on the question Of accepting OF
rejecting the settlement.
SITUATION
FAVORABLE.
The situation is very favorable for g
settlement of the coal strike" said
Hodges at 4 o'clock this afternoon after
the joint conference of Premier LLOYD
George and representatives of the strik-
The coal scarcity is curtailing sport
ing events, causing numerous cancella-
tons of track schedules.
All racing, including the Cambridge
shire meet, has been called of.
Despite the more favorable turn in the
strike situation the government has pro-
ceeded with the bin granting the cabi-
net exceptional military powers TO deal
with an emergency.
The bin was advanced to second read
ing in Commons last night
The terms of the strike settlement were
said. unoffcially, 20 provide two shill-
ing per day increase for the miners, with
stipulation for increased production.
LABoRTTEs SAY PLAN
DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.
Laborites were understood to regard
the plan for increased production as a
dangerous precedent, but they were
anxious to avoid a general strike.
The fear had grown that II a general
strike did develop Lloyd George would
seize upon it to call a general election
on the issue nation vs. unions
In that event they foressw the return
of the Lloyd George government by
heavy msjerities.
Meanwhile the trades union congress
went ahead with plans for an executive
meeting Wednesday.
Originally called to see what should
be done to support the miners, the con
gress now will consider the general
labor situation.
There was said to be concerted
movement 70 create q high labor com
mand and dissolve the council Of action
forced to aid in obtaining peace with
Russia.
EXPENSIVE FOR
NATION AND MEN.
The miners strike has been expensive
FOR nation and men alike.
Two million workers were unem-
ployed and 10000 more were on short
time.
Three hundred and fifty thousand
were obtaining strike benefits.
1t was estimated the disturbance had
cost taxpayers S15.O00.0oO and that the
miners have lost $40, 100000 in wages,
In addition, 100000 tons of coal that
should have been dug last week remain
in the ground.

sioners from collecting the assessed
taxes for 1910 on the ground the board,
in making the assessment took into con-
sideration certain items which the law
does not authorize to be considered, and
the board therefore assessed the com
pany excessively.
The assessment amounts to approx
mately 500 100000
Attorney Thompson declared the rail-
road company's assessment approx
mately twice its cash value while sur
rounding property was not assessed so
highly.
He said he believed the Tuthnl- Kiper
act was Illegal, but when informed that
Judge Linn Hay had held the act legal,
he declared even II the act were valid
the assessment would be several million
dollars in excess Of its cash value

LAST CONFEDERATE
 SOLDIER IN SENATE

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 l Something like thirty years ago. so long ago that Walter l.. Hawley the
 elder Bob Mcpavid. Dick Yancey and Frank O'Brien were journalistic lights | in Birmingham, there drifted into The Age-Herald office one night letter from it's correspondent in Edwardsxille, CIeburne county, announcing the death of the last survivor of the Fort Mims massacre. It told how he was one of the few children who came out alive, where and how he had lived and died Forth with we sent it out to the Associated Press, and in every intelligent news paper office there was a recalling of that greatest and bloodiest of all the dark and bloody tragedies enacted by the red men in defense of their native land. l ln less than thirty years more, in some newspaper office somewhere will come the news that the last of the Confeder-
 ate soldiers has gone to his reward. And in all the papers, and in the schools and among the people everywhere there will be stories told and memories re- called of that greatest of all the tragedies
 unfolded in the book of time. the Con federate war. With high hopes and gallant spirit of adventure and blazing young enthusiasm those soldiers fought | and won the fight for two bright years, and saw victory streaming her banner | above their cause. just as hundreds of thousands of other armies have done in the ages that are gone Then it all | changed, and after Gettysburg and Wick sburg no sensible soldier among them all but knew the day was lost; that only some remote chance, some snatching on the brink, some seemingly in possible turn of fortunes wheel, could
 keep their flag afloat. Unlike any other army that the ages knew, those men | fought best after only a slender thread of belief in mere blind chance had taken the place of hope. Many an army had won Manassas. None but the Confederate soldier has for two weary years faced defeat and death from no motive but duty. and come out stainless
 It was that last two years of train- ing. of learning the lesson of duty and of fortitude which created for us here in the south that most splendid line of leaders who ever lived to save people. Let me make this plain.

 The figures were presented by the miners to the subcommittee of opera tors and miners who have been ap- pointed to negotiate a new contract for the hard coal field.
