H, Bridwell, in the Sullivan circuit court held valid the shotfirers’ law, passed by the recent legislature. The ruling was made in the case of the Glendale Coal company of Vigo county against Perry Douglas, prosecuting attorney of the Forty-third judiciary district, to enjoin the defendant from enforcing the daw, which places the expense of the shot firing in coal miens on the operators, instead of on the miners as heretofore. The case was brought to Sullivan county on a change of venue from Vigo county. It was brought to test the law and the result is of interest throughout the state to both coal operators and miners.

Cody and King received the same sentence as their chief. Charles A. Floyd, Detroit, also was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary, but he was fined only half as much as Newberry. John 8. Newberry ‘was fined SIO,OOO, but was one of four who were not sentenced to Leavenworth. The lightest sentence went to George S. Ladd of Sturbridge, Mass. He was fined SI,OOO. Other sentences were: Willlam J. Mickel, two years; Allan A. Templeton, one year and six months; Roger M. Andrews, one year and six months; Milton Oakman, one year and s=ix months; Richard H.

P ENDS U. S. COAL RULE ‘| President Paves Way for Increased Fuel Prices. -1 Says There Is No Provision of Law for Fixing New Rates for Peace- _ Time Purposes. - Washington, March 25.—Govern- | ment control over the masimum price | of bituminous coal was withdrawn by | President Wilson, effective April 1. ! At the same time the president | wrote the operantors and miners trans- | mitting the majority report of the coal | commission and informing them that | this report was “the basis upon which | the wage-scale agreements hotwoeni | the mine workers and operators shall 1 be made.” l April 1 is the date on which these agreements normally would become ef- | fective, and by removing government | control of prices effective that day | the president paves the way for iln- | creased coal prices to absorb the | average 27 per cent increase recommended in the majority report. : The president wrote the operators | and miners that it wus “essential to | the public welfare that the agreements 1 be concluded at the earliest date prac- | ticable so that the uncertainty as to | the fuel supply may be ended and | that the consumers may be able to make contracts for their coal supply.” | The president said he assumed that neither party would raise any question and that he was sure that no question could properly be raised as | to the binding character of the award by the majority of the commission, notwithstanding the fact that it was not unanimous. The executive order withdrawing government control of prices removes virtually all government control of coal, placing the fuel administration in the status it was before its authority was restored when the miners struck last November 1. The president said there was no provision of law for fixing new coal prices for peacetime purposes and that ‘“unless and until some grave emergency shall arise, which in my judgment has a relation to the emergency purposes of the Lever act, 1 would not feel justified in fixing coal | prices with reference to future conditions of production.” The majority report of the commission said the 27 per cent increase absorbed the 14 per cent increase allowed when the miners returned to work and that in dollars it would approximate $200,000,000 a year. PLAN RECOUNT iN MICHIGAN Arrangements Made for Check of Bal. lots in Ford-Newberry Sen.- | atorial Election. l Washington, March 25.— Arrange- ‘ ments were made for a recount of bal- | lots in the Ford-Newberry senatorial election in Michigan by a subcommittee of the senate privileges and elections committee, Missionary Slays British Major, London, March 25—Calcutta dispatches to the Daily Mail tell of the slaying of Maj.

DRSO SRAKAER S ST 5 356, 80 5O A SN 55952 WS 57 e R WILSON ASKED | TO QUIT RAGE ‘ Congressman Humphreys of Mississippi Asks President to Retire. | Democrats in House Vie With Republicans in Applause of the Southerner’s Speech—Kitchin and Other Leaders Commend Stand. Washington, March 27.—Democrats in the house vied with the Republicans in wild applause of a speech by Representative Humphreys, Democrat, of Mississippi, intended to puncture the third-term boom for Woodrow Wilson. The speech was made in recommending passage of an amendment limiting presidential eligibility to one term, The demonstration on the part of | the Democrats was the most remarkable ever staged in the house during the seven years of President Wilson's administration. Contrary to all precedents the speech met with no retort, and none is expected, While in the midst of his speech the representative’s time expired and was extended on motion of a Republican, Representative Longworth of Ohio. “When the time comes when the eit: fzenship of the republic has so degenerated in all its attributes requisite to the use and purpose of the republic that we are limited in our choice of a chief executive to only one man,” deelared Mr. Humphrey, “then the day for our judgment is at hand.” He had just quoted from the words of Thomas Jefferson, who said, in (ln~| clining to listen to importunities th:lt! he become a candidate for a third | term, “There are in our country a great number of characters entirely equal to the management of its affalrs.” | Representative Humphreys began his address by reading from an editorial which appeared in the New York Tribune on September 4, 1874, under the caption, “The American l{uhicnu."' which discussed the movement for a third term for Grant. “There is much in this article,” said Mr. Humphreys, “which suggests the situation confronting us today. So far as I am advised, President Wilson has not stated that he would not be a candfdate for a third term or have his closest political advisers been forbidden to urge that course when the delegates have heen chosen to the Demoeratic convention to nominate his successor, “It is true, however, as it was when the article just quoted was written, that ‘several presses and some poltiticians of local influence have already {begun to agitate his renomination. “It has been customary heretofore for presidents selected for a second time to indicate far in advance their fixed determination not to offer themselves for a third election. The most recent instances of this were the announcements of President McKinley and Colonel Roosevelt.” Mz. Humphreys then traced the history of the United States from the days of George Washington down to ! the present time, quoting numerous precedents supporting the tradition against a third presidential term because of the danger of bringing about a condition which would make possible the establishment of a monarchy. | He read from state papers of Wash- | ington, Lafayette, Madison, .Tnfi‘ursun.l Jackson, McKinley and Roosevelt. | “In all the years of our history sinece | the great day,” (of Washington) de- | clared the Mississippi n»;x:‘«-.\'v:\.t:nivo,i “no man has been permitted to vrrn:\‘;; | that Rubicon and may our (-hildrnn‘sz children in all the years to come | be able to boast this same unbroken | precedent.” | When he had finished the house ! ‘| chamber shook with deafening np-‘ | plause. Republicans and I’e-moc‘mtsxl alike sprang to their feet and clapped ‘ and cheer&l as he made his way to | ‘| his seat. As he started down the aisle | '} the Democrats flocked around him to | shake his hand and congratulate him. | | Fermer Speaker Clark, now minority | | leader, Representative Kitchin and | many of the recognized leaders on the | Democratic side were among those to | commend him. | “Any man who has the ambition to | serve a third term,” said Mr. Kitchin, | “would be a dangerous man to be elected, because that ambition would | cause him to want a fourth and a | fifth term and enable him to build up | machinery that would continue him in ‘ office until a revolution should come | along. Presiden:t Wilson., b« seé he is not a candidate for a third term.” : No Objection by the U. S. | Washington, March 27.—Ambassa- | dor Wallace at Paris was informed by | the state department that the United | States would not oppose the sending | of German government troops into the | Ruhr valley to quell the rising there.
