D., Dec. 25.—Blame for the Soo wreck of Sunday, In which 11 persons were killed and 40 Injured, was placed on the crew of the freight train with which the passenger col lided, by the coroner’s Jury yesterday. This verdict was returned after James Walsh, a flagman, had sworn that he had gone half a mile ahead of hi*, train, hail placed two torpedoes on thi* track and had signalled with his lantern. He declared no attention was paid to him. The jury severely censured the Soo road for Its “negligence In placing in- . vporlenced * men In positions wher*» their failure to perform their work properly had resulted In large loss of life.” OOOOD<K3<KKH1<HKHJ<KJ000<H500CH3 O o O KAISER AND PRINCE O O GIVE TO THE POOR.

IUU Ai' SHERIFF AND OTHERS ARE TO BE TRIED “1 Washington, Dec. 25.—Sheriff Shlpi and 20 other persons of Chattanooga, Tenn.. charged with contempt of the supreme court as a result of the lynch ing of a negro named Johnson after the . .nu t had taken cognisance of the case, are to be tfled before tbe highest tribu nal in the land. The opinion In the case was handed down by Juitlce Holmes. “Court Had Jurisdiction.” On the question of Jurisdiction, the justice says: “Even If the court had no reason to entertain Johnson’s appeal, this court, and this court alone, could decide that such was the law. Until Judgment de clining jurisdiction should be nnnounc- cl, it had authority from the necessity . f the case to take orders to preserve the existing conditions and the sub- ifc*. of the petition, Just as the said . ourt van bound to refrain from fur ther proceeding until the same time.” As to the contention that the defend ants had purged themselves of con tempt by their sworn statement that they had not been participants In the lynching, the court says: Hadn’t Purged Themselves. “In this case It Is the question of the presence and overt acts. If the presence and the act should be proved there would be Ifttle room for a disa vowal of intent. And when the act al leged consists In taking part In mur der. It cannot be admitted that a gen eral denial and aflidavit should dispose of the case. The outward facts are matters known to many and they will be ascertained by testimony In the usual way.” Justice Holmes announced that the lynching constitutes a contempt. No announcement was made as to how further proceedings of the court will be conducted, but it Is probable a com missioner will be appointed to take testimony. DOES PROHIBITION PROHIBIT? SOME FIGURES BY WORKER FOR MOVEMENT IN STATE OF GEORGIA Ah to the status of the liquor ques lion in Maine I got this from an address delivered by Hon. Clinton X. Howard. <>f Rochester, N. Y„ who has made some investigations: "For every joint under prohibition In .Maine the re are 16 under license regime in New York, and for every tax receipt joint in Maine there are twenty under license In Ohio. Not only are there fewer Joints under prohibition, but they are harder to find. “Portland Is a city of 60,000 souls, and you can walk the entire length of its main street for two and onc-half miles, down one side and up the other, ;-nd you will not see the sign of a sn- 1 ’on or anything that stands for the .-alo< n over any door, nor the smell of the rotten odor that comes from the •low of perdition to decay the character *»f Its patrons, and that shortest of all Mutes for our American girls from • aith to the pit beneath It that Is ad- \ortisecl as the ‘ladies’ entrance* Is conspicuously absent.

The club consists of 45 of the best in the musical lina there is among tha undergraduates at Princeton, and thia mean* lota.

After the performance the club will be tendered a reception at the Capital City Club by tha alumni of Princeton in Atlanta. sustnlninf?. We have done all this with lower tax rate than a great many saloon cltlex have done.” Sixty-five out of seventy-five coun ties In Mississippi have gone dry. As result of prohibition In that state, the assessed valuation of property has Increased $33,000,000 in the Inst three years. During this period banks have increased from 92 to 131. and the sur plus has more than quadrupled. In Vermont. Vermont testifies that high license Is harder to maiutaln and enforce than prohibition, and every way more costly. Town after town which had given the saloon a year's fair trial went back with a rush to prohibition at first op portunity. The people of Vermont say license Is a conspicuous failure as a temperance measure, and of the 246 cities in the state only 37 remain wet. Latest returns from Kansas show that prohibition Is far from being a failure In that state. The Kansas Issue says: "Kansas city has recently closed all the saloons In that place, and the re port Is, from bankers, merchants and real estate men, that business Is much improved, and the testimony of the wives and the mothers In the packing house districts give a most nopeful view of prohibition In that city. And with regard to the prosperity of the state under prohibition, there Is no state, save possibly Texas and Okla homa, which are both new, that has and developed equal to prospered Kansas." Liquor dealers of all classes use ev ery means within their reach to violate law In Kansas, and then try to fool the outside world Into believing that prohibition Is a failure, and that more whisky Is sold and consumed In dry places than wet ones. Time ar.d space forbid extending similar statements About the success of prohibition measures. We can give them to you all day If you want to lis ten to them. It seems tb me that practical business men of this enlight ened age would not want to stop to consider a moment touching which side of this question to vote on. The scheme of Hainan men and their sym pathlzers to make the masses believe that prohibition Is a failure, that more liquor Is sold and consumed in dry ter ritory than In wet, and that the coun try cannot get along without the reve nue, Is an Intrigue of the devil pure and simple. 1 think next time I will give some statements nbout the fullacy of the pre vailing sentiment as to I’ncle Sant Issuing licenses to sell whisky.
