BOSTON WINS AND TIES
Bv Dispatch A. L. WIRE

BOSTON, July 24.-Boston defeated
and tied st. Louis in their double
header here today. The Red Sox car
ried the first game, heavy slugging
contest, IA to 8, and the second was
called by agreement at the end of the
ninth to allow St. Louis to catch a
train for Cleveland. At that time the
score stood to 5. Home runs by
Hargrave and Flagstead, the former
bringing in three runs, featured the
first game, in which each club used
four pitchers. Three hits in the ninth
of the second game enabled Boston to
make two runs and tie the score. An
error by Haney in the sixth was re-
sponsible for two St. Louis runs. The

INDIAN WAR YET
LEADER HERE
..Mere POLICEMEN? Huh!"

'Mere policemen? HUH
Col. John p. Slough snorted.
The idea of it was too much for
him-the idea of classifying the
men who fought alongside Of Custer
and who braved the perils that
Custer braved. being called any
thing but soldiers4-"and~ darn good
soldiers at that"-was more than
Colonel Slough could understand.
The colonel, who halls from st.
Louis. and who is in Washington
leading the pension fight Of the
National Indian War Veterans. told
about it today. He repeats the
story every time he meets a Sen.
ator or a member of the House
and he says he's going to keep on
repeating it until the pension bill
Is passed No Indian was ever
chased with the persistency that Is
being applied to the hunt for favor

"They said the Indian fighters
weren't soldiers, but mere police.
men Of the frontier" Colonel
Slough declared today. They re-
fused US any pension at all until
1917, when a measure granting us
maximum of $40 month was
passed"
Then the colonel told about the
battle Of Rosebud, in which he par
ticipated in 1876, and which oc-
Cured only a few miles from the
scene Of Clusters last fight and
only few days before it. He. told
about the Yellowstone expedition of
1873 and the Black Hills expedition
of 1875. He related the stirring
scenes of the battle with the Red
skins at Powder River in March,
1876.
"And they call all this the work
of policemen and not soldiers!' he
exclaimed.
The colonel says there are now
8, 100. survivors of the Indians wars
that occurred between 1855 and
1898 He says these battles won
for the Union territory that now
embraces twenty three States.
The pension bill he's fighting for
calls for a minimum pension of
$50 If the pensioner Is SO years
old; $40 If he's between 81 and ~
years, and $50 IL he's more than u

GAVE FAIR
VERDICT,
He SAYS

Richard L. Conner, foreman OF
the jury discharged by Justice
Wendell P. Stafford in Criminal
Court, Friday, after the twelve
men had returned a mot guilty"
verdict in a narcotic case against
a colored woman, rose in defense
Of the jury's decision today.
Mr.. Conner, assistant secretary
of the Washington Board of Trade.
in public statement, declared
that the discharge of the jury
was a reflection upon the mems
integrity and intelligence. He
also voiced resentment against re-
marks concerning the jury attrib-
uted to Justice Stafford.
Jurors Side Of Case
Jurors are, sworn to hear and
weigh the evidence in the case and
render a fair and impartial verdict
from the evidence presented" Mr..
Conner stated. 1.-THE Honorable
Justice himself, in his charge to the
jury, advised that the decision in
the case was in the hands OF the
jury; that after considering the evi.
dence in the case, we should be
convinced beyond all reasonable
doubt Of the gu41t of the defendant
or we should return a verdict of
not guilty; If we were convinced
beyond all reasonable doubt of the
guilt of the defendant, then we
should return a verdict of guilty"
According to the court records in
the case, said Mr.. Conner, the
Governments witnesses were "a
coIored narcotic agent from Balti-
more, working under cover, with
two colored women as stool pig
cons; a eelf-confessed former drug
addict, colored, now out on proba-
ton for violation Of the Harrison
Narcotic Act, who acted under in
structions Of two local detectives,
and a chemist from the Bureau of
Internal Revenue"
1.-The testimony Of these various
witnesses was far from being i'm
pressive," Mr.. Conner said, land on
several occasions was at variance.
And yet the honorable justice says,
You must be convinced beyond ell
reasonable doubt of the defendants
guilt on the evidence presented,
otherwise you should return a YER
dict of not guilty
Beyond all reasonable doubt!
There was sufficient amount of
reasonable doubt to acquit a dozen
defendants, let alone onev
The prosecution failed utterly to
establish it's case in the minds Of
the jurors, despite the quoted
opinion of Justice Stafford to the
contrary" the exforeman stated.
He continued:
If q jury is unanimously con-
WINGED of the innocence or guilt OF
a defendant. it is not necessary for
the members to remain in the jury
room, kill time and return to
court with the verdict. At least
this particular jury did not feel the
necessity for such a method Of
handling the matter and returned a
prompt verdict of not guilty.
Showed No Prejudice
"And yet the honorable justice is
quoted as saying. IT was apparent
that little or no consideration had
been given to the testimony of the
Government 1t should be pre-
sumed, Of course, that had our yer.
dict been guilty, the members of
the jury would have been criticized
for not giving more consideration
to the evidence for the defense.
when the jury returned to the
courtroom and our verdict asked
on the three counts charged, as
foreman / replied, not guilty. in

With the anthracite strike set

and, according to dispatches from
the hard coal field, the miners
trooping back to work today, only
one thing remains for the picture
to be complete for Washington
ians. That's to get the hard cCal
in their cellars.
Long Wait IN Prospect
That sounds easy, and all that.
but it's going to be cold fur,
mace that waits from today until
the first anthracite gets here before
firing up. Here's what has TO be
done before the coal gets here:
Mines must be cleaned up after
the accumulation OF debris during
the long lay-off. This includes the
repair OF machinery which has been,
rusted, and other mechanical opera
tions.
Railroads must assemble rolling
stock in the hard coal fields. vir-
tually all OF It having been diverted
to soft coal regions and now scat
tered all over the 10 States that
formerly burned anthracite. but that
have been using bituminous this
winters
Apportionment must be made by
the hard coal operators on the basis
Of previous orders of their Gus
toners so that all OF them in the
10 anthracite burning States will get
at least a little OF the coal in the
near future.
Dof11A0ad1 must he &lVGn aOOuI
three or four days to route the cars
from the anthracite field to Wash
ington after the cars have been
Dealers Have Problem
Local dealers must decide how
to distribute it among their clam
oring customers when 1t gets here.
Besides these things, there isn't
anything to prevent stocking all
the furnaces in Washington with
anthracite at once.
Representatives of the leading
anthracite operators in Washington
would not give an accurate esti-
mate of when the anthracite might
be expected here in any appreciable
quantity. 80,
One of them said few carloads
might come in within a week, but
none of them looked for any sup
ply of normal size before two or
three weeks, at the earliest when
March, the month in which spring
greets the city officially, is well
under way.
Prices to Be Normal
Jesse C. Suter, secretary of the
Retail Coal Merchants Board If
Trade, said today that the local
dealers had been asked last week
by the railroads to empty cars of
soft coal and coke as quickly as
possible, so that the cars might be
rushed to the anthracite district.
Cooperation along this line, Suter
said, will help the situation ma
terially.
As to price of the anthracite, no
one would quote figure. pending
arrival of the first carload here.
Local dealers haven't received the
operators quotations yet, but it Is
generally anticipated that the priceA
will be the normal Smid-winter fis-
ures OF anthracite.
