'MINERSSCORE
POINT IN TRIAL
AFTER LOSING
Prosecution to File Bill OF
Particulars as Demand
ed by Defense
DEMURRER is LOST
Treason Count Stands - Separate
Hearings For Defendants in West
Virginia Cases Are Granted.

Charles Town, w. Va, April Pc
Having suffered heavy setback
earlier in the afternoon in their fail
ure to have quashed the Indictment
charging % men with treason,
the defense at trials of more than
100 defendants for participation in
the armed march on Logan county
last summer scored sharply Just be-
fore the close of court yesterday.
Judg J. W. Woods, presiding, sus.
tanned motion calling for bill of
particulars against the men accused
The demand for bill of partlcu-
lars was part of a consistent effort
on the part of the defense to force
the prosecution to show its hand and
lay specific charges. that defendants
might have a chance to prepare their
defense.
Other developments in the day
were:
Election by the defense for sepa-
rate trials. although the prosecution
Yesterday had indicated it desired
to try the defendants jointly.
Selection by the prosecution of
William Blizzard, president of sub
district of the United Mine Workers,
as the first man to be tried.
Arrangement of all defendants on
the treason charge and entering of a
plea of not guilty by each.
The second day of the trials, as
was the case yesterday, was taken
up by stubborn fighting for advant-
age on the part of attorneys, much
time being consumed by argument
as to whether the defendants should
all be arraigned before the prosecu-
tion had selected its first man for
trial. The defense desired to let the
prosecution choose, then have the
selected defendant enter his plea.
The prosecution demanded pleas
by all before choosing the first man
to be tried. The defense lost this
point. all defendants being required
to plead 1t scored its main point
in a moment, however. when the
motion for the bill of particulars
was sustained.
b The bill of particulars, as called
for must specify:
/. The specific overt act the de-
fendant is alleged to have commit
I'd, with the date and place (The
indictment leaves blank the days Of
the months in which the offenses
are alleged to have been committed)
2. That the State specify whether
the defendant was present at the
time and place where the overt act
was committed
The prosecution is given until this
morning to prepare the bill, although
doubt was expressed as to whether
it can be prepared in that time.

ganizing the campaign committee and
really crowns the crucial period in the
preliminary preparations. However,
the reports of the men are enthuslaS-
tic, and many Of the lieutenants were
signed up, as reports to the head
quarters indicate.
The men must stick to the definite
list Of chosen men until Thursday
morning at las a m. when they will
meet at the Westminster Building
lust previous to the Kiwanis Lunch
con. After this meeting the field will
be thrown open, and the captains may
enlist heutenants at will, regardless
of who may have selected a candidates
name previously.
Indications are that none of the cap
tainS are going to let any of their
prospects slip away from them by in
activity; and as to the ladies' ability
to handle the meals for the campaign
the expressions of delight heard on
the splendid luncheon served, and the
ease ard promptneSs with which the
meal was handled, baniShed all doubt
The most experienced ladies of the
auXilitary were on the job, and the
program went off as smoothly as if
they had been really serving meals
for the campaign committee for some
time. If that luncheon was any criter-
ion. the meals of campaign week will
present no problem to those who have
the campaign proper and its respon-
sibility in their hearts.
The committee meetings are grow
ing more frequent each day, and are
held almost from noon until midnight,
and not complaint has yet been
heard from those constituting the
committee.
This spirit cannot fail, say the cam
paign members, and the Alexandria !.
NJ {. A. Building is already assured.

Young Man Killed.

Galena, Ill: Gilbert Manley died
Saturday morning from injuries re-
ceived when he was run down by an
automobile about midnight Friday
and dragged nearly a mile over a
cement road. The identity of the
auto driver has not yet been estab-
lished. The eighteen year old vic
tim was the son of John Manley, a
farmer living about seven miles from
Galena, in Vinegar Hill township. =.
Unconscious and moaning with
pain, Manley was found by Galena
business man returning from a trip
to Benton. He was rushed to Galena
in a car and two doctors worked
over him for the remainder of the
night. He was taken to his home at
about five o'clock and he died two
hours later from the terrible injuries.
He was returning to his farm home
on foot after attending a theatre
party with friends in Galena when
the accident occurred. His shoes and
cap were found about a mile from
where he was discovered and it is
thought he was sitting down to rest
when the car ran over him and
dragged him on the road.

Respect to the Colors.

"It is not good taste to festoon the
United States flag over doorways
nor is it advised to display it flat a.
gainst the wall either on the inside
or outside of building. If it is
necessary to do this, however, the
union should be toward the north or
toward the east. The flag should on
no occasion be used as a cover over
over desk, table or. box" p. G
Harris, Attorney General.
The rules regarding the proper and
patriotic display of the flag of the
nation have been frequently disre-
garded in our city. Not long ago an
altar in one of the churches of our
city was draped with>t flag. Peo-
pie should show more respect for the
national emblem by being more care
full in the use of it,

The Spirit That Wins.

De Pere Journal Democrat: The
cultivation of fraternal spirit has
much to do with the success of a
local community.
Where the population is limited
the Indifference or selfishness of a
single individual exerts a depressing
effect upon others, and this attitude
of pessimism in time permeates the
whole community. Men and women
who really desire to advance the in
terests of themselves and their neigh
bors find it difficult to work to ad-
vantage when disaffected ones are
continually throwing a wet blanket
over every new project that is pro-
posed.
Investigation and discussion are
both commendable and desirable, but
pessimistic remarks and pulling back
in the community harness are on a
par with a balky horse. They rem
der more or less futile the efforts of
those who would push forward to ul-
innate achievment.
A community of brothers working
together in harmony is far better
than one of opponents pulling in op-
posite directions.

Legion Notes.

The Homer and Lee Parkinson
Post No. ITO wishes gratefully to
express our thanks to the generous
business men and firms who donated
sufficient funds to make up our de-
feet on the recent ball game played
at Mineral Point.
Josiah Lanyon, $500.
E. Y. Hutchison, $500.
Correll & Martin, $500
J. J. Fielder, $500
i 7. M. Priestley, $500.
T. n. T. Martin Hardware Co., $500.
Ellsworth & Pete IS, $500.
Iowa County Bank, $500.
A. F. Bishop, $500.
The question has been asked sew
eral of our members along the street,
why does the Legion wish to raise
money!" The answer is for several
reasons. Cd The prime reason, for
community service. for by serving
the community we can serve the ma
ton, and no one can operate without
money. (2)Perhaps a selfish reason
is, we wish to make enough money
so at some future date we can buy
or build our own hall and club
rooms. That is the ambition of,
every Legion Post over the u. S.
and why? Example of our fathers
and grandfathers, the G.. A. R. of
Mineral Point. They have never had
a home of their own but have shunt-
ed around for so years, wholly de-
pendant on rented quarters. We
will take care of the G.. A. R., should
we be so fortunate, as to get a home
of our own. One year ago the
Legion gave the Memorial Park
$4,000 for diving platform.
Through the year we have been un-
fortunate through weather condi-
tions, failing in all of our ventures
in the entertainment line, and have
been unable to make back our
$4,000, hence the recent ball game.
To answer some just and unjust
criticism we will say we have never
spent any money ON our own Posts
entertainment from funds raised
from the public, but from our own
dues and assessments.

LET US WORK TOGETHER.

In all matters affecting the inter-
ests of Mineral Point and adjacent
territory there should be unity of
purpose and action on the part of
those who desire the prosperity of
this community. Community spirit
is in the air. Milwaukee has it.
Madison has it. Newspapers of the
former city are pleading for an ex-
tension of the city's limits, so as to
include suburban points whose life
and interests are bound up with the
life and interests of the big city.
The press and people of Madison are
emphasizing the Importance of the
existence of a cordial relationship,
commercially and socially, between
residents of the Capital city and the
other parts of Dane County. And
so The Iowa County Democrat has
ever sought to show that the inter-
ests of Mineral Point and the country
around about us, are inseparable
connected and rise or faff together.
The country has something to offer
in the way of farm production and
trade which the city has not; and the
city offers opportunities in school
and other matters which are of
great benefit to those who dwell near
us. These things being true, let us
work together for advancement.
Where public matters are to be con-
sidered or public enterprise is to
be undertaken, let it be made a COM
munity affair. The Mineral Point
Commercial Club has wisely adopted
the plan of inviting residents of city
and country alike to attend and take
part in the meetings of the Club
when held for the consideration of
matters pertaining to the welfare of
the community; and the club should
be upheld and sustained in it's efforts
to serve well the purposes for which
it exists.

GREAT BRITAIN FOR
NEW CANADA-U. S. PACT
Proposal to Modernize Treaty Is Of
fered to Secretary Hughes at
Washington.

Washington, July 14.-A proposal
to modernize and make permanent the
century old Rush-Bagot agreement of
Great Britain and the United States
on the Great Lakes and other boun-
dary waters was made to Secretary
Hughes = Premier Mackenzie King
of Canada.
Mr.. King, accompanied by the
Canadian minister of national de-
fense, George P. Graham, called on
the secretary Of state and discussed
not only this proposal, which was hos
pitably received, but controversies
between the American and Canadian
governments over fisheries and boun-
dary waters over which there has been
much diplomatic correspondence.
One element which may have
prompted action is the development
of customs vessels to guard against
liquor running across the lakes. The
dry navy" with modern equipment,
would be technical violation Of the
agreement If the boats carried ma
chine guns instead Of ''18-pound cam
nOn." ~
The st. Lawrence seaway also was
discussed. Mr.. Kings position on this
question was set forth In the follow
Ing formal statement:
Though not the subject of formal
discussion, it is understood the St..
Lawrence waterway project was men,
toned in the conference. The position
taken by the Canadian prime minister
is that as stated by the Canadian
prime minister in the house Of COM
mons some weeks ago.
. ut is an attitude neither of ac-
ceptance nor rejection of the project,
but of postponement of its corsidera-
tion. Having regard to the magnitude
of the expenditures involved and other
far-reaching considerations, the pres
ent does not appear to the Canadian
government an opportune moment in
which to contemplate treaty negotia-
tions on this subject as between the
two countries"

WAR CONTINUES IN IRELAND
Free Staters Gain Upperhand in Many
Skirmishes-IrreguIa Are
Concentrating.

Dublin, July 1S.-Behind the curtain
of censorship fighting continues at
many points between Free State troops
and irregulars with the Free Staters
gaining the upperhand The Free
Staters captured about 500 prisoners
in military operations over the week
end.
Victories for, the regulars were re-
ported from Sligo, Donegal, Dundalk
and Thurles. Fighting is still in
progress in the Limerick district and
in County Cork.
A large force of irregulars has been
concentrated at Waterford. Irregulars
are also said to be concentrating near
Collooney to attack the Free State
troops that were victorious in Satur-
days operations in that sector.
Free Staters now hold Inch Fort (an
old English work dating back to early
days of British occupation), but many
of the irregular defenders escaped
when the place was captured.
