JURY HEARS STORY
|. OF GIRL s DEATH IN
HAMMER MURDER
Sensational Disclosures in
Statement Prepared by
Counsel, They Say.

LOS ANGELES. July 1.-THE
story of how Mrs. Clara Phillips is
alleged to have beat to death Mrs.
Alberta Meadows with a hammer was
told to-day before a Coroner's jury.
"Woll, they got me-" Mrs. Phillips,
who does not seem to realize the
gravity of the crime with which she
is charged, said when she was brought
back here from Tucson, Ariz.
Mrs. Trager, wife of the Sheriff,
who accompanied Mrs. Phillips on the
trip, said the prisoner smiled most of
the way but refused to discuss
charges that she killed Mrs. Meadows
with a hammer after accusing her vic
tim of intimacy with her husband.
Mrs. Phillips's husband, who in
formed police that his wife had con,
fessed to the crime, hired attorneys to
defend his wife.
+. A. Trcmainc, Mrs. Meadows
father, declared that if possible ht
would bring damage suits against any
persons responsible for gossip about
the dead girl.
Mrs. Julia McElroy, a mutual ac-
quaintance of Phillips and Mrs
Meadows, told the police of an alleged
visit by Mrs. Philips to her home
| five days before the murder
she talked wildly about her nus
band intending to go away wltl

u. S. TROOP THREAT
EXPECTED TOEND
TWO BIG STRIKES
Drastic Government Action to
Result if Parties Fail to
Get Together.
By David Lawrence.
Especial Correspondent Of The Eve
nina Worldly

WASHINGTON, July II Copy
righD Sparring for position and
trying to get the best bargain they
can, the various parties to the rail
road and coal strikes are convinced
that they must make peace soon or
run counter TO drastic action by the
Federal Government.
The general opinion here Is that
the coal strike will he settled along
with the railroad strike before many
days have elapsed. No such imprcs
sion of hopeless deadlock as usually
forecasts long strike can be OBJ
tanned by talking with any of the
principals or their spokesman.
The nonrness of an agreement in
the rail strike is such that the Presi 70
dent has hositated to use Federal
troops lest the situation may be ag-
gravatcd and peace prevented. The
coal miners are aching to modify theiI
refusal of arbitration and the Gov
eminent has been trying ever since
Saturday to prevail upon the coal
operators to take the necessary ac-
tion which will make arbitration pos
sible.
The single obstacle in the coal con
troversy has been the division among
the operators. The miners, before ac-
Cepting arbitration. want to be con
vinCed that the decision will apply to
all coal operators or at least a sub
stantial majority such as will fix a
scale for the industry.
Because assurances to this effect
have been lacking the coal miners
hesitate, They are eager to have the
arbitration cover non-union as we'll as
union mines so that when the award
is made the non union miners will see
the benefits of the union and join it,
thus making material increase in the
membership strength of the miners
union for future bargaining.
Many of the coal operators who
run non-union mines refuse to come
into the fold and accept Tho juTi5iic-
tion of the arbitration tribunal. EFF.
forts to get as many as possible are
proceeding however. and when 90 OF
60 per cent. OF the total tonnage OF
coal is represented by the operators
who do accept the arbitration the
strike will come TO an immediate end.

and quickly. They told the cashier
when they ordered him to throw up

FOR GREAT CROWD,
BLOCKS BROADWAY
Bob MeuSel ToSSeS Ball From
the Top of Cohan'S
Theatre.
BABE GETS THIRD ONE
Police Called and Traffic
Stopped in Times Square
AS Throw Is Made.

Babe Ruth created another sensa-
tion, this time on Broadway, in the
heart of the theatrical district at
1890 o'clock to-day by catching a
baseball thrown to him by Bob
Meusel from the top of the George
NJ. Conan Theatre near AID Street.
The height is said to be 10 feet
Longacre Square was packed to
overflowing at the noon hour and
the reserves from the West 9th
street Police Station had their hand S
full in the handling of the crowds
Traffic was suspended with the ex-
teption of the trolley car and every
time one of them showed up the
crowds were backed up into Times
Square like a human tidal wave.
Babe stood out on Broadway be-
tween the car tracks, the throng
surging about him on all sides-men
women. kids and chorus girls-ali
baseball fans. The first ball thrown
by Bob from the roof took a slant
for the Times Square Building and
landed on the sidewalk. Immediately
there was a wild rush for il, and that
was the first time that the police
came into direct conflict with the
crowd.
John Kelly, attached to the Cohan
Theatre, made his way through the
,police and crowd and captured the
ball. The crowd settled back for the
next throw, and this time the ball
landed right into the home run hitter $
mitts. But it was too hot to hold and
dropped through to the ground. Kelly
was again on the job and got the
second pill
The third ball again fell into the
Babes mitts and this time he held it
amid the wild demonstration of the
crowd, Immediately followed by an
other wild demonstration by the cops.
Babe made for the theatre and the
throng made for him. They all
wanted the ball or at least piece
of his beautiful cream colored silk
shirt
Four mounted police urged their
horses through the crowd up onto
the sidewalk in front of the theatre.
The men on foot were Just as busy
bowling the crowds over. shoVms
them, rushing them and pushing
them. That some of the women
weren't more seriously hurt was a
wonder. Babe evaded the crowds AMI
got safely into the theatre.

CHEVALIER VIEWS OUR
AUTUMN SCENERY

The Censor editor and family drove
to Boscobel, Sunday, having the pleas
ure of the company OF the eminent
artist, Harry Chevalier, on the trip.
1t doesn't seem to the editor that ma
ture has ever been quite so prodlcal
and extravagant in gorgeous masslng
of colors as last Sunday. Mr.. Cheva-
Tier had the privilege of viewing Wis
consin's autumn scenery at its best
and counted the experience as one OF
the most pleasant times OF his life,
He especially enjoyed the magnificent
Kickapoo scenery near the state Or-
chard and overlooking Gays Mills
To mention any one part of the trip
however, would be an injustice TO the
rest of the scenery. ChevalIer says
that it would take canvas twenty
miles long to fittingly reproduce the
grandeur of the multi-colored foliage
ragged ravines, beetling hills and
miles of panorama.
Mr.. Chevalier has disposed of his
extensive studios at Omaha and will
soon establish large studio at Chi
cago, so Viroqua can expect the pleas
ure of his presence more often IN the
future. He has remained here much
longer than he at first anticipated
and has a multitude of kind and con-
gratulatory things to say concerning
us. Like most artists, he is some
thing of globe-trotter, yet he says
that this city is the best city of its
size IN the United States-and he
knows them ALL

Apply the salve in each nostril, rub
on throat and chest then cover the
chest with white or red flannel which
has been warmed. If this does not
show instant results, melt Muco-Sol-
vent Salve in a spoon and let it be in
hailed until the nasal passages are

Keep the bowels open with castor oil
or any light laxative.
Under ordinary conditions children,s
colds respond at once to this treat
ment and disappear in few. hours
Great care should be exercised to
avoid drafts and wet feet in winter,
and when out at play the child's chest
should be well protected. Muco-Sol-
vent Saive should be used freely upon
the first indications and the coming
cold Immediately thwarted. Children
soon learn to use this new salve them
selves and for that reason a jar OF 1t
should always be kept in hte house
especially as it is to be had OF any
druggist and costs only % cents.
