BOYS PLAY HANGING,
 CONDITION SERIOUS
Demonstrated How Murderers are Put to Death; Companions Fail
 to Realize His Plight.

Mobile, Ala, Aug. 11.-"Playing hanging" proved all but real for Ed ward Bodden, youth of II years, son of a Mobile shipmaster, who is to- day in a very serious condition at a local infrmary, the result of strangu- lation.
 A negro murderer was to be hanged here Friday and this ease brought UP a discussion as to how prisoners were put to death. The boy took an avn ing rope, adjusted it about his neck and climbing to the railing of the gallery. told them to "watch him. v He jumped. It is thought that the boy believed his feet would reach the gallery floor but the rope was short and he hung suspended in the air. The smaller boys did not realize that their playmate was strangling and not un-- til he turned black in the face and began bleeding from the nose and mouth did they summon help. A servant girl was first to reach the bows side and he was cut down.

GOMPERS SAYS LABOR
 HALTS SHOCK TROOPS
Alludes to Fight Against Industrial Autocracy," in Addressing
 Typographers.

Quebec, Que, Aug. 10.-Labor has halted the shock troops of it's ene- mies," President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor de- clared in an address before the annual convention of the International Typo graphical union.
 All over the world about the time of signing the armistice, the labor chief said, capitalism made up its mind it must secure the master hand over the working people, and in the United States there had been "premeditat- ed decision to crush the spirit of the working class"
 "When the war was over the men of labor were no longer regarded by cap ital as patriots. They were to be forced back into their position of drudges."
 Mir. Gompers declared that capital is trying to establish an industrial au- tocracy in the United States and Can ada, adding: sThe labor movement whether it be political or industrial" :" is a protest against autocracy.

RURAL TEAMS IN
 FINE BALL CAME
Offerings of Board Camp and Union Grove Best of a Week of Baseball on Mena Field-Will Play Again
 Next Saturday-Notes.

After professionals and semi-pros had occupied the diamond at Mena- field nearly all of last week, it re- mained for a pair of amateur teams to appear Saturday and put up the best game of the week. The contest ants were Board Camp and Union Grove, victory going to the former by score of to 0.
 The score does not indicate the class of the playing the country teams put up. After the third inning only one score was made, and at the last five times at bat both teams retired runless. Credit for Board Camps victory goes to Dalt Heath, the big hurler, who had the Union Grove lads swinging vainly at his offerings. Heath had excellent support. Mid daugh, who started the pitching for Union Grove, didn't receive the proper backing from his team mates and in the second and third innings five runs were scored, mostly as the result of errors.
 Roy Swiger succeeded him in the fourth and Board Camp only scored one run after that.
 The game was so pleasing that ar- engagements were made to have the teams back on Menafield again next Saturday afternoon. This game will start at o'clock. Union Grove is confident the result will be changed ill the second meeting.
 The teams lined up as follows:
 Board Camp-Judge Looney, 2b; Ed Durham, right; Ervie Hilton, short Ali Parker, center; Andy Sims catcher; Sude Heath, third; Dalt Heath, pitcher; Tom Cloud, first John Miller, left.
 Union Grove-Jim Ward, left; Harry Lunsford, right; Marvin Cox center; Roy Swiger, pitcher; John Middaugh, second; Arch Lunsford third; Enoch Embry, first; Willard Reid, short: Marvin Ward, catcher.

FIGHTS TOSAVE
PACKERS DECREE
Prosecutor Denies Need of
Intervention by Grocers'
Association.

The persistent efforts OF the Ma

tion and the Southern Wholesale
Grocers Association to intervene in
the case of the United States versus
Swift & Company and others. with.
special reference TO the carrying
cut of the consent decree whereby
Swift & Company and the other four
large packers agreed to dispose Of
holdings not related to the meat
industry, were opposed by the gov
ernment yesterday with more vigor
and effort than has been shown at
any time in the courts since the
decree was signed and the govern
ments attempts to enforce it began.
At the hearing before Justice
Wendall +. Stafford. who has been
arbiter between the government and
the packers ever since the proceed
ings began nearly two years ago.
the government. through Assistant
Attorney-General Herman ]. Gallo
way. began what the Federal au-
thorities consider fight to save
the very life of the antitrust laws
and to save the dechree already re-
ferred to from being nullified.
In opposing the intervention by
fay declared that the government
needed neither the Ku Klux Klan
nor the grocers nor any other asso-
citation to show II how to do busi-
ness. The very idea that the gro
GERS intervene" said Mr.. Galloway,
was an intolerable insult to the
interstate Commerce Commission
and also to those other officials of
the government who were acting as
moderators in the case and protect
ing both the rights Of the govern
ment AMI the public"
At the close of the hearing Justice
stafford announced that the govern
ment and the grocers associations
would be given a week each to file
briefs and that he would then take
the petition to intervene and the
governments objections thereto un-
der consideration.
