MEN IN JAIL. ARE
HELD FOR MURDER

Aiken, Sept. 4.-Sheriff Howard
set a successful trap today to Sc
cure c. L. Deas and q. L. Davis,
said to be strikers. held by the Au-
gusta authorities for the Aiken po-
lice. upon the charge of murder
ing the two Carolina railway
guards. Eugene Feaster and
Reedy Booth. The naeE, together
with Irwin Williams, another sus-
ipect. are locked up tonight in All
ken Jail. Both Deas and Davis re-
fused to cross the state line into
Carolina and steps were being ta-
ken by Sheriff Howard to extra
dite the men. The promise. of a
preliminary hearing. induced the
two oappear today under guard
of. Officers Seigler and Sheppard at
the Aiken court house, but in
stead of a preliminary hearing
both were placed in the jail. the
sheriff stating he had evidence
! enough to hold them.
Irwin Williams, who passed by
the dead body OF Feaster and the
fatally wounded Booth without
giving the alarm, was induced to
cross the Savannah river as a wit
ness and as he appeared he was
locked up in jail to be held as one
of the principals in the horrible
affair. At the inquest young VIII
hams swore he had retired IN has
Augusta home at 10 clock on the
night of the double murder, but It
was learned that he was in Aiken
until midnight and had given a
white Aiken barber ride from,
Aiken toshis home in Bath. Horse
creek Valley. In the absence Of
Sheriff Howard. Young Williams
was permitted bond by Magistrate
w. B. Raborn in the sum of 800
to appear as witness in the case.
His father is one OF the striking
trainuen and the fact of his con-
Trajectory evidence at the inquest
would show. it is stated. that he
was schooled in silence before he
appeared before Coroner Tacver.
Several men came over with Deas
and Davis expecting to bring them
back to Augusta after the prelim-
mary.
No. one is permitted to talk to
the prisoners except their attorney,
Col. Chambers. OF Augusta, and as
far as can be learned no prehni-
nary is in sight. though Col. Cham
bers asked that one be held FRI
day morning at 10 o'clock. The
people of Aiken are congratulating
Sheriff Howard on his good work
in the case. Governor Harvey has
been peeitiened to offer a reward
of $500 each for the murders OF
Feaster and Booth. Extra pre-
cautions Will be taken to keep
off a possible attack on the Aiken
jail tonight by Sheriff Howard. as

DYED IN THE TREE

phe discovery OF a method
whereby living trees can be COM
pletely and permanently tinted
with any color within forty-eight
hours is reported from Germany.
Experiments are being made in
some Of the German forests and
already furniture and novelties are
being turned out from the dyed
woods. It is said that remarkably
successful imitation OF certain nat
ural woods is possible by the pre-
cess.
The dyesng or staining of lum-
Der after it has been cut is<a diff
cult and rot always satisfactory
Job. Dyeing the wood in the trees
should be far speedier process
and may solve some other difficul-
ties. But experimentation with col
or Is always tiekhsh business,
and it may prove that exactly the
same method applied to trees of
the same family and in the same
surroundings still will result in a
good scelor for one lot OF lumber
and an off shade for another.
In any event, the experiment IS
Interesting and ingenious, and il it
proves finally successful may lead

THE WoRKISG GIRLS LIVING

~ A
A representative of the Massa-
:chusetts. minimum wage commits
sion finds from her Investigations
that a working girl can live On 50
a week, and for SIC a week can
command not only the bare neces-
saries but many of the comforts
and tuxuries % life
The larger figure seems reason
able enough. if the luxury it rep
resents is not stressed unduly. AS
for the 50 a week, there will be
wide divergence OF opinion.
Unaaestionably large numbers
of girls. in New England and else
where, do manage to exist on that
amount. or less. How they do it.
and what the effect is likely TO be
on postreity, is a different question.
Less open to controversy is the
! investigators statement that few
working girls know how to spend
their money. This accusation, in
deed. may be brougl,t against the
big majority of people, in any level
of society. but it i. most impress
sive in the case OF the poor
working sirP' because the results
with her are often 20 tragic.
| It is rnaialy a question of know
ling values. The girl lives frugal
~, bus not Shrewaly. She may
tsquander on clothing and skimp on
food. Or she may buy the flashy
and trashy clothing and food in
stead of the substantial. She does
not know values.
Here is a field for helpful in
structien that is broad and urgent.
No less important than earning a
living wage is the ability TO spend
that wage so as to get the living.
