An enormous increase in water
rates to the consumers in Hurley
is foreshadowed by the receipt
Of notice this week from the
railroad commission of a hearing
to be held in July. Instead of
getting water at the rate of 3.7s
cents per thousand gallons as at
present Hurley consumers will pro-
badly have to pay IS cents per
thousand gallons.
The Ironwood & Bessemer Rail
way and Light company, the cor
poration which owns and operates
the plant which furnishes water to
Hurley, has filed with the railroad
commission an application to adj
vance its rates. A hearing in the
matter will be held at Madison on
July 6, at 10 clock in the forenoon.
In the application for increase in
rates the Ironwood and Bessemtr
Railway and Light company de-
clares that it purchases water from
the city of Ironwood, that since
the first day of January, 1918, it
has purchased from the city of
Ironwood the water supplied to
Hurley customers under contract
at rate not exceeding 3.75 cents
per thousand gallons measured at
the city limits of Ironwood adioin-
ing the city of Hurley, that since
May 1, 1921, the city of Ironwood
has had in operation a new water
works system and that because of
the new source of supply new
contract must be entered into with
the city of Ironwood at a rate of
not less than Is cents per thou
sand gallons, and that the cost of
furnishing water to customers in
Hurley will therefore increase from
3.75 cents per thousand gallons to
IS cents per thousand gallons

Police Sergeant y
In Jax is Under
Grave Indictment

Jacksonville, Sept. 26.-Acting
Mayor Fred M. Valz heard, behind
closed doors tonight, charges against
Detective Sergeant Henry L. Sir
mans, growing out of what is said
to have been Siram's activity to-
accomplish the removal of Lieuten-
ant c. H. Hurlburt, of the local po-
lice department.
Mrs. Jessie Flynn, was the prin-
cipal witness at the hearing. She
relates an alleged plot to effect Her
burt's removal. Sirmans offered her
81 900 she says to place the police
lieutenant on a position which would
call for his resignation from the de-
partment. Instead she informed other
police officials which resulted in the
charges against Sirmans.
Acting Mayor Waltz said the de-
tails of the alleged conspiracy would
become public at later hearing be-
fore the city commission. Chief
Roberts and Sirmans refused to dis
cuss the case. y

Court Asked to Rule AS
to First Count of
Indictment
NO JURY IS IN SIGHT
Another Venire May Be
Summoned as Only 10
Talesmen Left
(Dy Associated PreHs.l

Jacksonville, Sept 26-Thetrial of
John H. Pope, local attorney, charged
with murder, entered its second week
today with little indication as to when
jury would be selected. 1t was the
general belief that the court would
direct the calling in of additional
talesmen tomorrow to replenish the
original venire, only ten of whom
yet remain to be examined.
Judge G. C. Gibbs, presiding, has
announced he would render a deci-
sion tomorrow which will weigh
strongly in the trial. He took under
advisement today, after much argu-
ment by opposing counsel, the ques-
ton of whether the state must show
that Pope acted premeditately to eff
feet the death of George H. Hick-
man, who was killed by Frank T
Rawlings in the robbery of local
theatre. Pope is charged, in the first
count of an indictment, with first de-
gree murder while the second count
specifies that he abetted, conspired
and participated in the robbery that
resulted in Hickman's. death.
Takes Question Under Amusement
Judge Gibbs took the controverted
point under advisement today after
having ruled against the defense
throughout the trial, when it inter-
posed an objection to hypothetical
question asked of prospective jurors
by the state.
Attorney E. A. Waybright, of the
defense, today set forth that the
state must show premeditated de-
sign on the part of Pope to effect the
killing of Hickman in order to OBJ
tain a conviction under the first
count of the indictment. The state
argued that it only has to show that
Pope planned the theatre robbery
to convict him of first degree MUIR
der.
Most of the morning session of
court was given over to the argu-
ments by counsel. A tentative jury
of II men was seated when court
convened following its recess from
Saturday morning because of the
death of the defendants father,
Frank W. Pope, Sr. This number
soon dwindled to nine when one man
was excused for illness and two
others fell out under denomination
by the state. One more talesman was
tentatively accepted at the afternoon
session. Fifteen were examined.

he no longer figures in the daily
headlines as he used to Mr.. Wilson
still is news"
Therefore it seems appropriate on
this occasion to tell the latest news
about him.
Mr.. Wilson, besides following the
ways of retired gentleman with a
lively interest in the worlds affairs
lives by the eight hour day which he
once told congress was "adjudged
by the thought and experience of
recent years a thing upon which So
ciety is justified in insisting as in
the interest of health, efficiency and
contentment." He deems to have
eight hours for sleep, eight hours for
work and eight hours for relaxation,
and keeps to the schedule pretty
fairly:
Rises at Seven O'clock
Seven o'clock in the morning IS
about his rising time. He once again
shaves and battles alone, and then
takes some calesthenic exercises pre-
scribed by his physicians as benet'-
cial in restoring the youth of nerves
and muscles which were impaired
during his breakdown. He has break
fast in Mrs. Wilson's boudoir and
finds that two years of illness and
slow convalescence have not affect
ed his appetite. The morning papers
never are neglected whatever else
may demand attention. Half doz-
en- of them are delivered early and
Mr.. Wilson reads them thoroughly
Then comes the morning work.
About that time the mail carrier,
six DAYS a week, delivers quite a
racket of letters. They come from
a variety of correspondents. Old
friends of the administration days
write informal, friendly notes or
discourse on the politics OF the day.
Schools and colleges ask for dona-
tons, individuals, who feel the plnch
of times ask for some personal n
nancial assistance. Others discourse
on the shortcomings, as they see
them, of the Republican party. Auto
graph hunters are represented IN
large numbers. Various gentlemen
who think their ailment is the same
as Mr.. Wilson's want to know the
names of his physicians. Mrs. VIII
sno invariably goes over the morn
ing's mail with her husband, some
letters are turned over to secre-
tary for a reply, most of them the
former president answers persoh
ally, debating to a stenograpner
who comes from his law office every
morning for the purpose.

library. The old desk and chair and
table Mr.. Wilson used in his study
at Princeton are there. Thousands
of volumes which were packed away
while he was in the White House are
there.
Friends remember him even at
meals. Frequently a Potomac river
fisherman sends him a rare speci-
men from his catch. Once another
friend sent him ducks out of season
and paid the game warden hand
some penalty.
Mr. Wilson has a motion picture
show of his own and frequently sees
the feature film at the same time it
is being shown at the theatre down
town. Occasionally he goes to a
vaudeville show.
Evenings at home are spent in the
family circle. The former president
and Mrs. Wilson read a book to-
gether or, perhaps, Mrs. Wilson reads
aloud. Some times it lis one of the
detective stories, of which Mr.. Will
son was said to be so fond. Like Mark
Twain he does much reading and
writing in bed. Unless Mr.. Wilson
changes his mind decidedly he will
write no reply to Robert Lansing
or anyone else who has criticised
his policies. A writer who has been
given access to his papers, of which
there are almost ton, is writing a
book, but it will be his own, not Mr..
Wilson's.
However the evening may be
spent, however tired he may be,
there is one thing the former Presi-
dent never neglects. 1t is the reading
of few verses of the Bible.
Has Weathered Great Storm
Mr.. Wilson will be IS years old
next December and has passed
through an ordeal which few men
survived The measure of his pro-
gress toward health must be meas
ured with those facts in mind. His
normal weight in health while he was
president was $50 pounds. He shows
little departure from that figure
now. His hair has turned snow white,
but he has not thinned.
He is far from a we'll man today,
he was far from a well man when he
entered the White House even eight
years ago. But during the last two
years there have been times when
his voice was inaudible and when he
could not support himself alone. His
condition today shows more i'm
provement than his family and
friends dared hope for.
