DEBS BEGINS PROBE OF
IL
Former Socialist Candidate for
'President Is in;West Virginia
Investigating Conditions
(Bv Associated Press.)
CHARLESTON, W. Va., May T9.—Eu
gene V. Debs. Socialist candidate for
president of the United States in the
last election; Victor L. feerger, former
Socialist member of congress from Mil
waukee, and Adolph Sernor, of Illinois,
^.re expected here today to investigate
■ conditions of miners in \Vest Virginia,
as a result of the strike of coal min
ers in Kanawha county.
Appointed a committee by the na-
* tiojial Socialist • party, the three men,
it is said, have been authorized to
send a copy of their findings to Presi
dent Wilson. The situation in the coal
fields of West Virginia is undecided.
Ir. the Kanawha field there seems to be
a condition of peace, the miners having
E returned to work as a result of propo
sals of Governor Hatfield, providing
*for a check weighman, a tonnage of
"•2,500 pounds, a semi-monthly pay and
^prevention r i discrimination.
The United Mine Workers of Amer
ica as union, however, has not been
recognized by the operators, a majori
ty of the American miners have Quit
ihe Kanawha field and accepted posi
tions in adjoining coal fields.
Conditions in the New River coal
are uncertain. In this field recently
was organized district No. 29, United
Mine Workers of America, with a mem
bership of 19,000. The coal operators
granted all • sked by Governor Hatfield
in his recommendations to the Kan
awha field, but refused to meet with
the miners.
m he resolution of Senator Kern, of
Indiana, now before the United States
senate, providing for a federal inves
tigation of the labor trouble is ac
cepted here and in the coal fields with
conflicting emotions. A majority of
the miners, however, favor the federal
government intervention.
In addition to several supreme court
decisions giving the right to the state
executive to declare martial law, sus
pend the functions of the civil author
ities and •°rrest and detain persons
whom he believes are aiding and abet
ting an insurrection. Judge Samuel
L Littlcpass, of the circuit court, yes
terday upheld the right of the gover
nor to do such things* under procedure
or martial law’.

ROMAN RIVERS WILL
HAVE NEW -BRIDGES
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
ROME, Ga., May 16.—A step looking
toward the building of new bridges
across the rivers in the city of Rome
was taken yesterday afternoon, when a
conference committee was appointed to
consider the question in all its bear
ings. This committee includes mem
bers of the board of county commis
sioners, the city council and the grand
Jury.
An effort will be made by them to de
termine under whose Jurisdiction the
building of the new bridges should
come. Chairman Pollock voiced the
opinion of the county board of com
missioners when he said that the board
realized the need. for better bridges,
but wanted to be assured of the law
in the case before proceeding to act.
He stated that the county was finan
cially, able to erect the bridges, either
.X by a bond issue or special tax levy,
and that some means to accomplish the
desired end would be found whenever
the board was convinced that it had the
right to proceed, or that the duty to
proceed rested upon it.
The committee appointed ' to investi
gate the question of jurisdiction will
begin their work in the next few days.
STRAIN OF LONG HOURS'
IS TELLING ON WILSON
President Puts in Fourteen
Hours a Day-ls the Hardest
. Worked Man in America
WASHINGTON, May 19.—“The hard
est worked man in America,” is the
title given to President Wilson by his
private secretary.
Executive decisions that direct the af
fairs of the nation are made at night
by the pi*fesident.
The central control station of the
great machinery of government is a se
cluded room on the second floor of the
white house, where Mr. Wilson works
alone in silence while the world sleeps.
A block leather-covered note book,
which nobody but himself reads, is the
Domesday book on America, for it con
tains th£. secrets of state and the
thoughts of the president written by
his own hand.
This book has loose leaves that can
be detached and fresh ones put in.
The sheets are the size of business let
ter paper. Most of the entries are
made in shorthand “pot hooks,” a sys
tem of writing which Mr. Wilson has
practiced for many years.

8ome persons think coffee a real

and observe that it is one of the mean

Coffee contains a poisonous drug—caf

if its use is persisted in.
“I had heart palpitation and nerv

told me the trouble was caused by cof

I thought I could not,” writes a Wis
consin lady.
"On the advice of a friend I tried
Postum and it so satisfied me I did not
care for coffee after a few days trial of
.. Postum.
“AS weeks went by and I continued
to use Postum my weight increased from
98 to 118 pounds, and the heart trouble
left me. I have used it a year now and
am stronger than I ever was. I can
hustle upstairs without any heart pal-
w pitation, and I am free from nervous

Charleston, S. C.—Retail dealers re
port trade good. Wholesale grocers re
port a fair volume of trade, but other
lines are quiet. Scarcity of money is
still noted. Cotton has been planted,
but is badly in need of rain. Truck
also suffers for the want of moisture.
Chattanooga—Jobbers in all lines re
port trade good. Retail merchants say
business is very active as a conse
quence of the Confederate veterans’ re
union, which meets here next week. Con
tinued dry weather retards farm work
and has cut the strawberry yield one-
half.
Memphis—Wholesale trade is active
and future orders are being booked free
ly. Retail trade is good. Collections
are only fair. Farmers need rain.
Atlanta—Trade, wholesale and retail,
is only fair. Merchants are ordering
only in small quantities, and there is an
inclination to buy only for immediate
needs. Farmers have finished planting,
but very little cotton is up, and there
is urgent need of rain.
Savannah—Retail trade is better than
last week, but wholesale dealers report
only a fair volume of business. Cotton
has been planted, and the acreage is
larger than last year. Local rains have
been beneficial, but more moisture is
needed. Sawmills are able to get lum
ber now tnat has not been available for
a year or two. Collections in all lines
are slow.
Birmingham—Pig iron is quiet. Lum
ber is fairly active. Retail merchants
are doing their usual business for this
season of the year. Wholesale dealers
in dry goods and groceries report a
good volumB of business. Collections
are slow.
Mobile—Farming conditions are fa
vorable. Vegetable crops are now going
forward, several cars of Irish potatoes
having already been shipped. Jobbers
in all lines report trade fairly active,
and retail trade Is 'good. Collections
are fairly good.
Montgomery—Trade conditions quiet,
with general complaints as to
collections. Cotton planting is reported
being from three 'to four weeks late,
with very poor stands.
Jackson—Trade is active, but col
lections are slow. Seasonable rains and
farm weather benefit crops.
New Orleans—Continued good weath
er has helped crops considerably,
and reports from various sections indi
cate a hopeful view of the situation.
A large area in cotton , and corn is be
ing grown, and the crops are doing
well, though in some localities the sea-
sun is a little late. Boll weevil damage
is passing and more confidence is felt
in the future. Sugar planters are a bit
unsettled, and the acreage in sugar
cane is somewhat under normal. The
weather favors rice planters, and the
outlook seems good for a large crop.
The strawberry season just closing has
been a very successful one. General
trade conditions are rather quiet and
jobbers report having few new ac
counts. Retail trade is fair. Collections
with jobbers are somewhat slow.
San Antonio—Wholesale trade and
collections are fair. Wholesale gro
cers say country collections are a little
slow, but that local collections are
good. Heavy lumber is active. Build
ing operations are quiet.
THE CROPS.
Crop reports are less uniformly fine
this week, owing to complaints of dry
weather affecting oats, cotton and vege
tables in parts of the sections raising
these products.
Winter wheat crop prospects are,
however, excellent, and a bumper yield
of this cereal seems almost certain at
this writing.
Spring wheat seeding is finished, and
the crop in the surplus states has been
benefited by cool, damp weather, s©
that a good start has been secured.
Oats have been retarded by dry
weather in parts of Illinois and Indiana
and in the leading Atlantic states, and
that crop lacks the uniformly good
start secured a year ago, while the
area will hardly be as large.
Corn plowing is finished and planting
is making good progress in the west.
Warmer, moist weather would help that
cereal.
Showers, relieving drought in some
sections, have fallen in parts of the
south, but a good general rain with
warm growing weather is much %o be
desired for cotton.
Killing frosts in nearly all northern
states early ip the week did some dam
age to early vegetables and fruits. Dry
weather is complained of at most
points in the Atlantic seaboard states
and has cut the southern strawberry
crops.
Governor Refuses to Send
Troops, and City Begins Re
ceivership Proceedings
CINCINNATI, O., May 19.—The re
fusal of Governor Cox to send troops
to this city to control the strike of
the employes of the Cincinnati Trac
tion company, after spectacular riots in
the early part of the day had influenced
Mayor Hunt to ask for militia, was fol
lowed late today by the filing of a pe
tition by the city of Cincinnati for a
receiver for the company. Judge Geor-
ghegan of the common pleas court be
fore whom the action was brought,
heeding pleas of attorneys for the trac
tion company for more time in which
to -answer, adjourned court until Mon
day when he is expected to pass judg
ment.
Rioting was almost continuous to
day from the time the company at
tempted to operate cars until they
withdrew all cars from the streets at
noon. vv nile a riot that occurred at
the Brighton barns this morning prob
ably proved the most serious, one a
little later at Fourth and Vine streets
was the most spectacular. Small steel
beams, barrels of plaster and bags of
cement were hurled upon a passing car
from the upper floors of a 34 story
building. The car was wrecked but no
person was seriously hurt.
Members of the crew and other com
pany employes riding on the first car
out of the Brighton barns were as
saulted and beaten almost into insensi
bility. Three of them are at a hospital
in precarious conditions. Various other
small riots occurred in which the crews
of the cars were beaten or forced to
ffte.
Mayor Hunt asked Governor Cox for
troops after the riot at Fourth and
Vine streets. Receiving a .negative
answer he appealed to adjutant General
vv'ood. When he had received no reply
from the adjutant general, he directed
City Solicitor Bettrm-.n to file suit for a
receiver.
Governor Cox in refusing to send the
militia sak. he had information that
the police had not exhausted their re
sources to prevent rioting.
Mayor Hunt told the governor riot
ing was prevalent in this city and that
the police were powerless to cope with
the situation in case anything like a
regular schedule was attempted by the
traction company.
Tonight the system is completely tied
up and the strikers appear content.

WASHINGTON, May 19.—Arizona’s
new alien-land law is not regarded here
as seriously complicating negotiations
with Japan,^ because the act does not
contain the same direct bar against Jap
anese as the California act.
It is expected, however, that because
of its adverse effect upon Mexican land
owners iij Arizona, a protest will be
forthcoming from the Mexican govern
ment, even in view of the rather ir
regular status of the diplomatic rela
tions between America and Mexico.
With both the American and'Japanese
governments awaiting on the final ac
tion of Goveror Johnson, the possibil
ity of postponing the operation of the
proposed California law by invoking the
referendum is again being discussed in
official circles.
The overwhelming majority for the
Webb bill in both branches of the Cali
fornia legislature makes some Califor
nians in Washington doubtful if the
necessary 20,000 signatures for a ref
erendum could be secured.

California Official
Offers to Take Place
Of Ruef for 90 Days
(By Associated Press.)
SAN FRANCISCO, May 19.—Charles
Montgomery, president of the Califor
nia prison commission, made an offer to
Governor Johnson that he should take
the place of Abraham Ruef, convicted
political boss of San Francisco, in a
cell at San Quentin prison for three
months to enable Ruef to visit his dy
ing father, according to a letter mfde
public today by Montgomery.
The letter says:
“I will @o for three months to the
penitentiary as his (Ruef’s) substitute
granting, him the three months liberty
to be with his sick, dying father and
his broken-hearted mother, and will
wear stripes, obey every prison rule,
work my utmost and remain in prison
without a complaint until Ruef comes
back to relieve me.
"There is no law to permit of this
exchange now, but the legislature is in
session and it can very easily be ar
ranged. I will sign papers, waiving
every human right and will gladly sur
render myself at San Quentin to take.
Ruef’s place at once.”

MONTGOMERY, Ala., May 19.—Gov
ernor O’Neal left Wednesday night for
Birmingham, where he will offer for
sale 4.000 acres of school indemnity
lands. The governor will be joined in
Birmingham by H. J. Willingham,
state superintendent of education, who
will aid the executive in disposing of
the lands.
Before leaving the governor declared
that he has not called a session of the
convict investigation and that he did
not know when the probers would reas
semble.
The governor will remain in Birming
ham one day and will return to Mont
gomery Friday. On Monday he will go
to Montevallo to attend a board meeting
and will return to Montgomery Tues
day to be present at the meeting of the
state text book commission.
No appointment of an associate mine
inspector was announced by the execu
tive before leaving for Birmingham. C.
H. Nesbit, chief mine inspector, was
in Montgomery Wednesday and confer
red with Governor O’Neal relative to
the appointment of an associate inspec
tor to succeed W. R. Ray, of Blocton,
whose term has expired. It is probably
that Mr. Ray will be reappointed.
From the amount of coal now being
mined in the state it is probable that
an additional mine inspector will be
named by Governor O’Neal in a short
time. A large number of applications
have been received for the position.

WASHINGTON, May 19.—Senators
Smith, of South Carolina; Lea, Martine,
Catron and Colt, sitting as a sub-com
mittee, will on Monday hear Mrs. Helen
D. Longstreet in defense of her admin
istration as postmaster at Gainesville,
to which office she was denied reap
pointment by President Wilson. Mrs.
Longstreet wishes it distinctly under
stood that she will not protest against
the confirmation of Mrs. H. W. J. Ham.
but has asked a hearing with a pur
pose of vindicating herself in the eyes
of the country.
Mrs. Longstreet’s letter to the post-
office department asking reappointment,
which forms a part of the files in the
Gainesville case, is a spicy communi
cation. It charges, among- other things,
that she has been made the victim of
a conspiracy of “water power trusts”
and that Congressman Bell joined with
a “mob” on election inght in singing
“We will hang ‘Helen D.’ to a sour ap

The shooting brought to an end the
romance of Miss Margaret Haffey, of
Kansas City, now Mrs. Curl, and ‘ac
cording to physicians probably also wil*
end her life. Last Wednesday Mias
Haffey arrived to wed Curl, but found
him in jail. On Thursday, however,
Curl obtained bail. That’ afternoon they
were married, Miss Haffey declaring
she had faith in Curl, despite the
charge against him.’
When Curl did not appear in court
today, postal inspectors began a
search. Locked in a room at a hotel,
the two were found, both near death.
Curl died soon afterward. Officials be
lieve that despondency over the
charges against him caused Curl’s act.

HER PUNISHMENT
VERYJEVERE
Mrs. Chappell Says That Her
Punishment for Five Years
Was More Than Anyone
Could Ever Tell
Mt. Airy, N. C.-—In a letter from this
place, Mrs. Sarah M. Chappell says: ”1
suffered for about 5 years with womanly
trouble, also stomach trouble, and my
punishment was more than any one
could ever tell.
Several doctors had treated me, and 1
had tried, most every kind of medicine
I could think of, but none did me any
good.
I read one day about - Cardui, the
woman’s tonic, and I decided to try it. 1
had not taken but abput six bottles un
til I was almost cured. It did me more
good than all the other medicines 1 had
tried, put together.
My friends began asking me why I
looked so well, and I told them about
Cardui. Several are now taking it.”
Are you a woman? Do you suffer
from any of the ailments due to woman
ly trouble, such as sleeplessness, nerv
ousness, weakness, and that everlasting
ly tired feeling?
If so, let us urge you to give Cardui
a trial. You have everything to gain,
if it helps you, and we feel confident
it will help you, just as it has more
than a million other women, in the past
half century.
Begin taking Cardui today.
