Dale turned to Hayes.

OF the little railroad at the earliest

"rhen lay on, plan for immedi

"Fd suggest" acquIesced Hayes,
that we send to the little town In
the lowland for supply Of picks and
shovels, axes and saws, hammers,
drills. and explosives. In the mean
time, you and can stake out the
way for the track"
!. 1t sounded businesslike, Dale
thought.
Within the hour John Moreland and
his son Caleb started for Cartersville
on foot, and In the older mans pocket
was money sufficient to buy the things
that were needed.
Dale and Hayes set out for the north
end Of David Moreland's mountain,
and each Of them carried hand-ax
for making stakes.
1t was not often that the quiet Hayes
permitted himself to 60 into raptures
over anything; however, he went in
to raptures over the Moreland coal.
1t was, he declared, one Of the best
propositions he had ever seen. 1t
was no wonder that Henderson Coz
was determined to get possession of
1t, he said.
Then they went to work.
BY sundown two days later they had
chosen the route for the narrow gauge
railroad and set stakes accordingly.
Hayes told his general manager that
with good force OF men the last rail
could be put down within two months.
During those two days they had
several times seen Henderson Coli In
company with Black Adam Ball and
some OF his relatives. Once they had
come upon Gofr talking earnestly with
Saul LittlefOrd, the big, bearded, gaunt
brother of the Littlerord chief. Hayes
reminded Dale of this, and said to
him further:

his side the first thing you knowi

as some OF the Balls, knew about this

belt and turned to the mining expert.

piled. And believe | can manage II,

Well, yes?",
Dale was Of the type that goes pale
with anger. and he was pale now. He
clenched his hands.
"You can't insult me like that and
get away with 1t. Goff," he clipped.
Were going 70 fight Goff. and I'm
going to put licking on you that
fifteen horses can't pull off. Get me7"
He threw aside his coat and rolled
his sleeves to his elbows. Henderson
Con ran his right hand quickly to a
rear trouser pocket and brought back

he turned threateningly toward Bill
Dale.
"Go easy, friend" Goff said very
cOmpIacently. There's no use in

like hard black beads, and he began

AT TRIAL IN KENTUCKY
Attachments for Witnesses
Are Issued by Judge.

MOUNT VERNON. KY. Aug. 22.-The
first day Of the John Bailey murder trial.
growing out Of the Bailey White noun
tain fued, was productive Of nothing
more thrilling than the search Of every
person who entered the court room for
weapons. None resisted the search. and
no weapons except a few pocket knives
were found. Even the women were not
exempt.
When the case was called both the
commonwealth and the defence asked for
continuance because essential wit
nesse were absent. The prosecution
asked for attachments for four and the
defence for nine material witnesses.
Circuit Judge Behturum authorized
Sheriff Walker to deputize two soldiers
and bring them into court and adjourned
court until tomorrow
The Sheriff was ordered to establish a
censorship of the telephone wires, and
instructed to prevent the transmission
of any messages which might inform the

RED CROSS MAN SEIZED
IN $4,000 EMBEZZLING
Losses on Horse Racing Fully
Covered by Bond.

WASHINGTON. Aug. &c. Z. Wilson,
second assistant treasurer of the Aneri-
can Red Cross. was arrested to-day
charged with larceny. An audit Of his
books had showed shortage OF about
$4,000. said Director Livingston Far
rand.
The warrant specifically charged the
theft OF $500. but Red Cross officials
said this was only one OF number OF
charges against him. According to the
police Wilson admitted shortages OF
more than $4,000. and attributed his
misfortune to gambling on horse races.
Director Farrand said the shortage
concerned only subsidiary accounts used
in conducting operations at headquarters
here and that the general funds of the
Red Cross, which can only be drawn
on by checks signed by two officers,
were not involved in any way. The loss,
he said, was fully covered by surety
bond.

the basis of the grating. There was
much to excuse the alleged offences OF
the employees on the ground OF their
starvation wage" II was said that en-
ployees OF the shipping Office, many Of
them OF long service and recognized as
capable workers. had been compelled to
seek other means or livelihood 70 main

The records OF the Department OF
Commerce showed that some OF the en-
ployees at New York received as low az

the failure OF Congress to pay salaries
commensurate with athose for similar
classes OF work in the Shipping Board
at New York and elsewhere the en-
ployees had been led to accept "gratui-
ties" These did not smack OF bribery,
but represented a rather "unwholesome
system" built up for some time past and
acquiesced in by those who supervised
the acts OF the employees.
When the whole record was laid be-
fore him Mr.. Hoover decided that al
though shipping concerns had willingly
aided the stats OF the Shipping Com
at New York and elsewhere
il would be best for the public interest
Ia start on new basis and eliminate
those who have been participants in the
system.
There will be no prosecutions for
violation OF Fed eral laws, il was as

who have for some time accepted favors
from ship owners for special conces-

cause of their low pay.
