WEST VIRGINIA MINE WAR TRIAL NOW UNDER WAY Nineteen Defendants Appear Before Court for Murder of Baldwin-Fefts Detectives. WILLIAMSON, W. Va.. Sept. 6.—Factional feelings stirred hy West Virginia's mine war troubles were kept tuned up today when murder trials resulting from the industrial fight at Matewan In May 1020, were called In Circuit Court here. Nineteen defendants were present when the session began. The two chief defendants—Sid Hatfield und Fid Chambers—were killed In a revolver fight at Welch recently. The eases called were for the murder of seven Baldwin-Felts detectiveis who fell in a street battle with Mate win citizens after evicting striking miners from their homes. The first trials la*t May resulted in an acquittal on the charge of murdering Albert Felts, leader of the detective force. Indictments charging murder of the other detectives are pending. Troubles expected over empaneling a jury were lessened by the provision that veniremen can he called from other'counties of the State. NEW DRIVE TO BE MADE FOR VET MEMORIAL (Continued From Page One.) year or more, should the county court In which a mandate la sought overrule the remonstrance and an appeal to the higher tribunal be taken. BELIEVE ELECTION LE VST EXPENSIVE. The remonstrants declared they believe submitting the question directly to the voters in a special election wool I have been the shorter, least expensive

way. Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby and Dr. T. Victor Keene of the American Legion intimated that the pro-plaza fbrces do not fear a fight in the courts. In addition to taking unexpectedly swift action on 'he plaza remonstrance the council passed the annual civil city tax levy and appropriation ordinances, received on introduction two ordinances passed under suspension o* the rules, one ordinance for transfer of funds, passed the city meat inspection measure nd took action or received on introduction a number of minor bills. The elections committee submitted a written report recommending that the plaza remonstrance be rejected. This report, it is understood, was prepared before the meeting and brought to the council chamber for consideration in a private conference before the regular session opened. It bore the signatures of Dr. Summer A. Fuwiss, J. P. Brown and J. E. Miller. Dr. O. B. Pettijohn and William B. Peake, the other members of the committee, were not present. STUN STATEMENT HIVING REASONS. While the committee and other eouncilmen were in the conference in the council's private chamber Corporation Counsel Ashby and the council's secretary went to Mr. Ashby's office on the second floor of the city hail. They returned a few minutes later and newspaper men were supplied with copies of a statement which seven members of the council had signed In which reasons for rejecting the remonstrance were set forth. It was understood the statement had been prepared by Mr. Ashby. The councilruen who signed it wpre Dr. Furniss, Louis W. Carnefix. Mr. Miller. Mr. Brown. Gustav G. Schmidt. President Russell Willson and Lee J. Kirsch. This statement said that the council in reaching its decision had taken 19.317 as the number of signatures of qualified voters eqnaiing the 5 per cent required by the memorial law to constitute a sufficient remonstrance. The remonstrance bore more than 13.000 signatures. Kcmonvtrators have contended that about 8,500 names would constitute 3 per cent of the “qualified voters." This was based upon the number of voters registered for the last election. The council's statement says that in view of a United States Supreme Court decision in an Indiana case the number of voters sbowD by the last Federal census should be the basis on which the 5 per cent should be figured. In this manner the council set the figure at 10.517. Evidence submitted by the pro plaza forces of Invalid signatures cut the number of valid signers of the remonstrance far below 10.317, She statement said.

KIND S'IGNATI RES BELOW a PER CEST, “V\e, t&e undersigned members of the common council, bare given the moat carefnl and painstaking consideration to the remonstrances tnat were filed against declaratory resolution No. 4. 1921. and the evidence that has been submitted to the council in public bearings relating thereto. “We started into the investigation with the conviction and a desire to sustain the remonstrances and call an election thereon. However, we were forced, by the evidence and the fact* to the conclusion that saSd remonstrances did not contain the retired 5 par cent of the Qualified voters of the city of Indianapolis. required by law. “In reaching this conclusion, we were bound by the law as determined by Jndge A. B. Anderson of the United States Dlstrli-t Court for the District of Indiana In the case of Aczel vs. U. S. which was affirmed by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, in which it was held that t-ie term 'voter’ or ’qualified Toter" did not mean registered voter, but every person over the age of twenty-oae years, who was qualified to register. “The council in determining the number of qualified voters, took as Its basis of computation the United States census as of Jan 1, 1820, which would require 10.517 valid signatures to the remonstrances to make the required five per cent. From this we deducted an average of ten from each precinct, to cover aliens and incompetents, although we are convinced that the natural increase of qualified voters in each precinct since Jan. Ist, 1920, would more than balance tha disqualified voters in such precincts. “Cur unanimous conclusion on the evidence was that the remonstrances as filed, were far short of having the required number of valid signatures. We have therefore, felt in duty bound to reject the remonstrances, as insufficient to authorize the council to submit the resolution to an election.” YORK OBJECTS TO COURSE TAKEN. Mr. York declared that he does not believe the council adopted the .proper course In rejecting the remonstrance because Its decision that enough signatures to invalidate the document were show’n by the pro-plaza forces was based soleiy upon "a mere statement of a couple of so-called hand writing experts who said some of the names on the petition were signed in the same hand writing.” He said the only way to legally determine whether or not any of the signatures were invalid was to subpoenae each and •very one of the 13.000 persons whose names appear upon the paper and let them testify. Dr. Taylor said that he baa bee', informed that the council, although ii jected the remonstrance, had decided ... yt to consider as illegal the five or six hundred signatures queationed by tbe proplaza forces on replies to a postcard and letter sent out by the American Legion. The postcard asked persona whose names appeared on the remonstrance If thijr had “signed the remonstrance against the war memorial.” In hearing on tte remonstrance a

week ago Dr.. Taylor declared that the pro-plaza forces in this had resorted to “dissimulation, the worst, form of lying, because it is cowardly lylug.” William N. Thompson, chief counsel for the proplaza people. Jumped to his feet and shook bis finger at Dr. Taylor after he had made this statement and declared. “I’ll see you outside." DISSIMULATION CHARGE REPEATED. Last night Dr. Taylor declared that in refun. g to accept the pro-plaza evidence basfd on the cards, according to the report he had received, the council had upheld his contention. "It upheld my contention that that was 'dissimulation, the worst form of lying, because it is cowardly lying',’’ he said he desired to repeat. The transfer of funds ordinances constituted the second “epidemic” of fund juggling by the city administration this year. Such shifting of finances from one fund found to have been over-ap-propriated to another discovered to be under-snpplied generally begins at about this time and continues uaitil the end of the year. The city administration has persisted in the expedient this year, despite the fact that its attention repeatedly has been called to an interpretation of the new State tax law, holding that when the annual appropriation ordinance once Is adopted its funds are inviolable and can not be added to no” subtracted from. Jesse E. Eschbacb. chief examiner of the State board of accounts. announced several weeks ago that his department will start enforcing this part of the law relating to budgets and appropriation ordinances of 1922. SCORES FUND JIOGLING. One of tbe two ordinances introduced last night did not get by without scorching comment from President Willson, however. It was for the transfer of $3,000 from the street and alley improvement fund to the asphalt street repair salaries fund. $16,000 from the street and alley improvement fund to the asphalt plant department material and supply fund and $3,500 frmn the publ'e buildings and repair fund to the blank books, printing and advertising fund, all of which was asked by the board of public works to be passed under suspension of the rules.

It was explained that the transfers were found necessary at the last minnte to make it financially possible for the a.xphaJt street repair department under Street Commissioner A. O. Meloy to carry out the remainder of its 1321 program. President Wfllson declared that he was tired of haring departments come np to the council and ask suspension of the rules on transfers of funds. He said delays in presenting such measures to the council before an emergency was due to “incompetence of the heads of departments.” He said that by this he was not referruig to President Mark H. Miller of the board of public works, who was present. Tta’e was the last time he was going to Tote for suspension of the rules on a routine matter unless it was shown that it was absolutely impossible to get the measure In the hands of the connell sooner. Tbe other transfer ordinance, which was referred to the finance committee, provides for the shifting of a total of $22,500 in nine ’terns, all affecting funds under the control of the board of public safety. CITY TAX LEVY FIXED AT 94.2 CENT 4. The 1922 civil (ltv tax levy was fixed at 94.2 cents, a reduction of 119 cents under the $1,061 levy of 1921. It Is divided in the several statutory levies as follows: General fund $0,625 Health fund 07 Tuberculosis fund 005 j School health fund 005 Park fund 07 i Recreation fund 02 j Park bond fund 007 i Sanitary fund 04 Track elevation fund 03 j General sinking fund 04 i Improvement sinking fund oat | Flood prevention fund 01 ' F iremen's pension fund 00S Police pension fund 00$ j Besides tbe civil city levies the ordinance fixes the city poll tax at 50 cents per poll, as usual The levies are based I upon an estimated total valuation of ; taxable* in the city of Indianapolis of | $553.!XH,250. Upon this valuation the toj tal civic city levy would produce ap- ! proxtmafeiy $3,519,000 This doe* not ; represent by any means the total amount, of money to !e expended next year nor | can it be compared with the total spent by the administration of Mayor Charles ■ W. Jewett in this, its last year, since ' street, sewer, sidewalk and other 1m- ! provements charged directly to the tax- | payer by the hoard of public works and : hoard of park commissioners are not | included in it. In recent years this ad i ditional amount of expenditures has run into from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 sometimes.

$-T6J,00 WORTH OF RONDS AUTHORIZED. Under suspension of the rules an ordinance authorizing the sale of 500 worth of 6 per cent, t<*n year bonds to pay the city's share of th" cost of Improving three sections of streets under the “connecting link” law was passed. There are to be seventy three of the bonds of 5500 denomination In the Issue, which Is to be advertised for sale on a date to be fixed by City Controller Robert H. Bryson. West Washington street from 583 feet west of Harris street to the east end of the Big Four subway, Indiana avenue from Montcalm to Sixteenth streets and Madison avenue from Raymond street to Glendale avenue are being permanently improved under the new law, which provides that where unimproved sections of etty streets connecting paved streets and paved country roads have not been hard surfaced because the cost would bo more thsn si> per cent of the assessed valuation they may now b* improved, the city and Marion County equally dividing the cost : In excess of 50 per cent of the property valuation. The bond Issue will finance the city's share of the excess cost on these three projects. The ordinance appropriates the proceeds of the bonds to anew fund called the “city streets and public highway fund.” I Ail meat offered for sale in Indianapolis must be submitted to rigid in I spectlon by the city health department j before or after it is killed under the meat inspection ordinance passed without a dissenting vote. It was Introduced at the request of the health bonrd several weeks ago. The anti-open vault ordinance. also backed by the health body, ! was slated for passage, but was not re- ; ported out of committee.

SPECIAL JUDGES PAY DEPLETES FUND. An appropriation of SSOO to the special city judges fund is provided m an ordinance introduced and referred to the finance committee. Raising of the pay of special city Judges from $5 to $lO per day by the 1021 Legislature and the fact that a great many defendants in cit court have been asking for change of venue from Judge Walter Pritchard, particularly those facing blind tiger and speeding charges, have depleted the SIOO appropriation originally made to this fund. It was stated. The name of New York street from Dorman street to Arsenal avenue would be changed to Marlowe avenue and the name of Marlowe avenue from DcV-man street to Arsenal avenue would be changed to New York street by another ordinance introduced. Several changes in inspectors and places for the first registration day. Sept. 10, were contained in a resolution adopted under suspension of the rules. SOUTH SIDE WOMEN MEET.

HOOSIER STATE LIGHTEST VOTE IS BEING CAST (Continued From Page One.) to be careful and fold the ballot with the initials on the outside and came out proudly bearing his folded ballot with his own initials boldly inscribed across the outside, and looked decidedly crestfallen when tile patient clerk showed hint the small intlnls neatly written in the corner, and explained the ballot must be done over. In one precinct several members of the I.engne of Women Voters braved the rain rather early, arriving at the voting place to find nobody there and no trace of the clerks. Calls were coming in thick and fast to the league headquarters concerning polling places, as many people had gone to the location where they had voted at the time of the presidential campaign, to find “nobody home." In one proein-i oq the north side ol Indianapolis five persons had vote.d at 7 o'clock. Three of these were members of the precinct election board. One of ihe members of the board set In the door of the voting place and called to his neighbors as they went past to the street car. asking them if they were going to vote. W hile this was being observed no one accepted the invitation. The outcome of tho election was in dojbt. although most persons took it for granted the two taxation amendments would he defeated. Rainy weather added to tills prospect, because interest is most keen concerning these amendments and it was argued that if only those most interested x'oted they would be the ones who would vote against tho tax amendments. PREDICT DEFEAT OF ALL AMENDMENTS. That all the amendments would be carried doxvn to defeat was thought to ec en irely possible. Friends of amend- | ments other than those concerning taxation feared that a number of the Toters would vote on the laxatton amendments and nothing eis<\ thus fail inp to give the others a sufficient majority. The only amendment which appeared certain of success was the first, which requires that persons bo citizens of the United States before they are allowed to vote. The headquarters of the county elec- ! tion board, which for the purpose of this amendment consisted of Richard V. S’pe, county clerk, and Leo K. Feeler, county ; auditor, was established in the basement i of the courthouse. Here questions were i answered concerning the election and the operation of the election kept In order. Most of the business houses of the city made arrangements lor their employes to vote. The returns of the election will be turned In to Mr. Slpe by the precinct boards tonight Ho will begin tabulation at om e and this probably w ill be com pleted by morning The return* from each county in the i State will be forwarded by the county clerks to Ed Jackson, secretary of State j Not until all these returns are In will the result of the election be known posl tlvely. The returns may not all be in before the end of the week. According to reports to the county 1 board of election commissioners, precinct boards generally were on the Job in : Marion County, although they had little or nothing to do. In only two cases was it reported that full boards were not: pre*f*ut at Hi# voting places. Tho inspector at. the Toting place in the Sixth precln-t of the Fourth ward called the courthouse and raid he was ti e onl one present at his voting place. ' lie sskeii wiiMt ho should do in cae someone should come In to vote. In one of th precincts of the Ninth ward It was also reported only an Inspector was pres ent. In both coves full board member i ships were obtained. The lowest estimate of the possible vote | tints far wag made ? r Richard V. Ripe. | ccunty clerk. Mr. Sipe estimated only j otte thirtieth of the normal vote would be ! cast. This would mean only 3,000 votes In the entire county, lie said ho baaed ! his estimate on the absent voter* ballots sent In. At the |nt regular election 2.7<X> : abs-nt voters' ballots were marked. This time eighty were marked.

How I Was W. recking the Lives of My Children

And Suffering Indescribable Tortures Myself Day and Night A Mother’s Terrible Confession*

For some time I bad noticed that my two children, a boy of seven aud a girl of ten, were vecoming highly nervous, Irritable and very disobedient—at times even “sassy.” I tried various punishments. even whipping, but they keqt growing worse. I fought and struggled with the situation. My own nerves were ail “on edge”—the least thing put me into ti rage. I quarreled aud had most awful “fusses” with my husband over nothing as 1 now look back on them. I was too weak to work or enjoy life, and too nervous and irritable to go anywhere. I was horribly impatient and ugly if 1 did not get just what I wanted when I wanted it. I often suffered from severe heart palpitation aiul indigestion. 1 could not sleep at night; 1 had an altuest constant dull aching pain in the back of my neck and head and frequent ly 4 very disagreeable sense of fullness in the front purt of my head. I often had severe pains across my bark, which made me think 1 had kidney trouble. 1 also had tender spots along the spine which convinced me that a fall I had several years ago had caused permanent spinal injury which later proved to be only “a case of nerves.” I could not begin to describe all the tortures, terrible pains and great devitalizing weakness which I endured. Nobody, not even my husband, seemed to appreciate or realize my condition, and very few offered any sympathy, which irritated me all the more. Finally I went to a doctor and told him my story: what awful children I had, and asked his advice as to what to do with them, and whether or not I should send them to a reform school. After studying my case and talking with me and my children, to my surprise and disgust he told me I was the cause of my children’s condition; that it was all m.v fault. At this I flew Into a rage, but after I had quieted down somewhat, he explained to me the terrible condition of my nerve cells. He told mo how the system only manufactured so much nerve force, and that this vital fluid of lifo was stored in tho nerve cells, much like electricity is stored in a storage battery, and that I was like an electric automobile after the electricity in the storage batteries had nearly all been used up. and the car could therefore hardly mov . He said my own highly nervous condition had been a constant drain on the nerve force of my children, and that the constant nervous strain to which I had subjected them had wrecked their highly sensitive nervous organizations and

lives, and made them what, they were—that what my children needed was not a reform school, but a reformed mother, and Inter all this I found out to be true, because after I regained my own nervous poise, and revitalized my wornout, exhausted nerve centers, and ths same was done for my children, i found them to be the nicest, sweetest children in the world—their whole dispositions entirely changed. The above is a hypothetical case, which a physician says may well Illustrate thousands which exist today. Homes are wrecked, children ruined, suicides caused, all through exhausted nerve force, or neurasthenic conditions. Very few pe >- pie realize the awful suffering and terrible physical aud mental tortures which may bo caused by a depletion of the nervo-vital fluid. In such cases, if is often worse than foolish to take mere stimulating medicines or narcotic drugs which only whip up your fagging vital powers for the moment, maybe at the expense of your Ufa later on. What you need is to put more nerve force into your nerves and more* Iron into your blood. Tbis is most eifectivcly accomplished by the free use of Nuxated Iron. This valuable product contains the principal chemical constituent of active living nerve force In a form which most nearly resembles that in the nerve and brain cells of man. It also contains organic iron like the iron In your blood and like the iron In spinach, lentils and apples. This form of iron will not blacken nor injure the teeth nor upset the stomach. It is an entirely different thing from metallic iron which people usual!}- take. Nuxated Iron may therefore be termed both a blood and u nerve food, as It feeds strength giving iron to your blood and the principal chemical ingredient of active living nerve force to your brain and nerve cells. Over four million people are using Nuxated Iron annually, and from the remarkable beneficial results which it has produced, the manufacturers feel so certain of its efficacy’ that they guarantee satisfactory results to every purchaser or they will refund your money. Beware of substitutes, look for the word “Nuxated" on ever package. After using Nuxated Iron we shall be pleased to have you write us what it does for you for publication. Your name will be withheld. Nuxated Iron for the blood and nerves is sold by all druggists.
