Dig rusn, every electric light in the
city suddenly ceased to illuminate.
After waiting a few minutes, thinking
perhaps that the trouble was caused
by a slipping belt there were numerous
telephone calls to the power plant.
The informstion given out from the
seat of the trouble was that the coal
being used to keep the boilers in action
was of a "punk" variety and that the
steam had run low and that the lights
wouldjbe out for thirty minutes. There
was nothing to do but wait and for
nearly an hour many sat in darkness
and held their hands and bided their
time until the firemen at the power
plant had- worked up sufficient steam
to put the engines in motion.

WITH THOUSANDS
Big Depot At Washington City
undergoes its severest strain
After Inauguration.
THRONGS WERE WELL HANDLED
There Was Not a Single Accident
Of Any Kind To Any of tho -r
Passengers.
Washington, March 6. Union Sta
tion had its severest test Tuesday after
noon and night. From the time the
inauguration parade ended until yester
day morning the great concourse Was
crowded with thousands of persons
all anxious to get home, and they were
running around for the most part of
the time as if they had lost their heads.
In the early part of the evening- the
crowds are handled fairly well, es
pecially on the Baltimore and Ohio
and, where President Wfllard and sev
eral other of t'-e general officers of
the road were on deck. In oreoara-
tion for the great crowds expected, a
large number of eatra men had been
trained in the handling of crowds, and
all freight traffic over the eastern
section of the road had been suspended
for nearly three days. This made a
clear track for the passenger traffic.
Men with megaphones were situated
at the Baltimore and Ohio Gates and
announced the trains as rapidly as they
were made up, and tor much ot the
time from early afternoon until mid
night, trains were sent out as rapidly
as they were filled up, which was about
every 10 minutes. President Williard
was on duty both Monday and Tuesday
nights until late.
It must be remembered," said Mr.
Willard yesterday, "that there were a
great many persons to take trains, but
many persons were in the station who
did not expect to take trains, but simply
went there for a place to rest and to
meet friends. Many of these crowded
around the gates and blocked them up,
making it difficult for those who wanted
to get on the trains to pass through.
But, so tar as the Baltimore and Ohio
is concerned, we had no especial trouble
and we were able to handle the people
who wanted to take our lines as rapid
ly as they appeared. There was some
delay, of course, and while we did the
bset we could we do not want people
to understand that we are satisfied
with the results. If anyone can point,
out to us a better way of handling the
ccowds than we had, I would be glad
to have him do it."
"Another thing to be considered is
that these crowds are only handled in
Washington once every four years.
If they were an everday occurrence,
as they are in New York, the men
would bp accustomed to that kind of
work and would be able to handle
it nore expeditiously. We do fepl
spite of the tremendous crowds, there
was not a single serious accident of any
kind to a passenger.
"Most of the trouble we cxeprienced
in Washington was due to the fact that
passengers insisted in getting on the
wrong trains and refused to get off.
That caused some delay. Then an
engine on one of the roads ran through
a switch and blocked the track for
awhile. ." Another cause of delay in
?;etting out trains was that passengers
or special trains did not come to the
station at the time they had arranged
for their trains to leave.

Slave Traffic.
New York. March 6. Police women
would give material aid in stamnine
out vice in New York, Mrs. O. H. P.
Belmont told the legislative committee
investigating police condition today
"The appalling increasing traffic in
girls", in Mrs. Belmont's opinion, was
sufficient reason why something should
be dose to regulate the disorderly
resorts, and she declared that men, no
matter how worthy and- upright, arc
not qualified to deal with delinauent
girls without the help of women.
Mrs. Belmont expounded some of the
most striking opinions yet heard by the
legislative committee in her espousal of
women police officers. The citv. she de
clared, must be the protector of its
girls and young women.
"As the mother is the guradian of the
children in the home," Mrs. Belmont
said, "I believe that instead of elimi
nating this good influence at a critical
stage in the life of our children the
children of the nation it should be
extended into the streets and the
municipality should be represented
by women qualified to furnish motherly
protection to girls in public places. I
believe a force of police women should
assigned to the sections most con
gested at night."
At the same time, before the Alder-
manic investigation committee, which
also is conducting a probe into the
attairs ot the Police Department, Gen.
Theodore A. Bingham, former Police
Commissioner, gave his views in regard
police control. General Bingham
favored a long term for the head of
the deaprtment and the granting of
powers which practically would make
him a dictator. The former Police
Commissioner found fault with the
various associations in the department
and advised that they be disbanded.
Une organization, he declared, raised
$60,000 one year while he was Com
missioner . to. defeat legislation which
he favored .but which his subordinates

Richmond, Va.. March 8. Governor
Mann is being criticised by many per
sons in the city for his action in the
ease of the Aliens. They declare that
the case is nothing more than the out
come of a political feud, that the Al
iens were hounded and persecuted by
the Republicans of that county, that
ney were prosecuted on the least of
nce, goaded into desperation, and
that they turned like an animal at bay.

Now that the case of the Aliens has
been finally disposed of. it is renorted
that Dexter Goad will be asked to face
a charge of perjury, as will also three
revenue officers who gave testimony in
the case of Claude Allen. The records
and hotel registers show that the rev
enue men were not at a certain place
at a certain time, as they stated.
Three lawyers have gathered the
evidence, which they will present
to the grand jury at the April term
of the Wythe County Circuit Court.
ine lawyers win prosecute the men
when they are indicted. There are
many facts in connection with th
investigations of the lawyers which
iney win noi uisciose at us time, out
they are said to have made a comnlete
case against the men and will be Dre-
pared to prove that the Aliens were
convicted by reason of perjured testi
mony. The cases have been held in
abeyance till this time in order that
the action ol the governor might not be

Mann tonight issued a statement iii

county mountaineers, condemned to
die in the electric chair for complicity
in the Hillsville court trage last t

decision will not te broken to the two'
prisoners until tomorrow mojning . It
did not reach the penitentisrV until
nearly 8 p. m. and it was then too
late, Superintendent Wood 'sjiid, to
arouse the two clansmen in their death
cells. He gave orders to the guards
not to disturb them during the night
with the fateful tidings. .
The Governor's statement is in part,
as follows: '
"The trouble in this case' did not
occur becaute Hojd Allen had been!
convicted by a jury of his peers anal
sentenced to one year in the peniten
tiary by an abb and impartial judge
but because he despised the law which
for years he and his family had tram
pled under foot and because he viouh.
not stay in jail one day while li is coun
set was preparing his case on a motion
for a new trial, and after he had been as
sured that when the mclion was heart
there would bs a "brighter day." for
him. This was not Floyd's first of
fense and his determination fo escape
jail at alt hazards and without regard
to consequences was well known.
"I can find no evidence of iny po
litical or any other kind of feud' be
tween the offcers. or the ceWrt and
any of the Aliens at the timj fcrf the
tragedy in Maich' l')12, or gjif plan
dr purspose on the part ot thl pfbeers
or any of them to attack- th$ Alletis.
Rather. I find the officers intended to
discharge their duties and to enforce
the law, where as the Aliens snowed a
manifest disposition to trample all law
underfoot.
"The -only question presenteil to me
as a reason for executive clemency am
not passed upon by the Court was tm
verdict in the Sidna Allen case, thi
Aliens claiming that they should not
be punsished more than he. This i
no reason why I should interfert
Certainly, not as I view the;. Sidn:
Allen case, which was in my oninicn
a pla'n a.id inexplicible miscarriage o,
justice.
"It has been alleged in many of tht
letters and petitions addressed t$ r c
that the claim of conspiracy .;$ lb; n
doned in the Sidna Allen case: Thi is
not true. Mr. Wysor opened that case
in a written speech, a copy of which
I have, in wl ich he strongly advocated
the existence of a conspiracy, quoting
Lhe opinion of Mr. Burke as I have
done in this statement.
"It has been contended that the
Commonwealth in the Sidna Allen case
by failing to proe .admitted that the
conversation at the stove between
Claude and Floyd Allen had not oc
curred. During this conversation, wit
nesses testified, Claude felt his father's
nulse and said it was "beating regula:"
and that Floyd said, "are all the boys
ready? 1 am assured by one ot ine
counsel for the prosecution of those
representing the Commonwealth die
not orove this conversation in the Sidna
Allen case, because it was not deemed
necessary but they believed it occurrcc
is proved, in the floya anil Liauue
Allen cases.
I might, when the pelilbns foi
clemency were presented to me havi
imply said that no reason naa Deer
mown why I should interfere with, the
verdict of the juries, the judgment:
jf trial courts and the deliberate di-
cision of Our Supreme Court tw:e d -
:ivend, but I have gone lurther ami
looked for evidence of the injustice to
either of the Aliens. I have looked
fOna reason why I should exercise the
higli power give me by the constiti.
tjon, a power which because it is higl
and extraordinary, must be used care
fully not to defeat justice, but to pro
nfote it when lor any cause the courts
are not bound by precedent, rules, or
conditions as to be unable to afford it.
"In hesc cases .the 'gravest" of crimes
of which I have any knowledge, has
been committed, a court has been
wantonly destroyed in its temple. The
very foundation upon which society
rests for its protection and safety hae
been threatened, and would be weak
ened and endangered if I yielded to
that sentiment ot mercy which would
extend clemency to Floyd and Claude
Allen at the expense of justice to the
State and protection of its citizens. I
must therefore decline to interfere
with the regualr course of the law.
"In order, however, that these un
fourtunate men may have time, now
that all earthly hope is gone, to make
their peace with God, I nave reprived
Floyd and Claude Allen until Friday,
the 28th of March, 1913, and on that
day the sentences of the court will be
carried out in the manner prescribed
by law."
"As this decision, regretfully reached
after careful consideration is abso
lutely final, I trust the good people of
Virginia will so consider it and will
refrain from further efforts to secure
clemency for these unfortunate but
guilty men."

'Observer" Contends That There
Are Sections Where It Would

SHOWS WHO WOULD BE HELPED
Believes the Weight of the Argu
ment Is Decidedly In Fa
vor of Free Range
Editor Journal:
In discussing the stock Law let us
be falr) neither impugn the motives
of others nor try to ridicule their
opinions. In districts where 40 ori
50 per cent, of the lands are in culti-
vation. a stock law is a necessity as
the fencin of the numerous fields
cost more than the range is worth.
But in districts where the farms are
scattered and not more than 20 per
cent, of-'itbe lands in cultivation, a
stoclf law is of no benefit whatever
amfc'damajlfes nearly everyone within
its bounds.
In the first, the farmers can keep
their stock in a large comn on pasture at
while their -tods are growii g and
at
a time agree on, after they are gather
ed turn it into the fields to ea 'C what
is left.
But in the second ,a common pas
ture is impracticable and each farmer
have to make his own pasture
which will require more fencing, than
it takes to fence the farms and they
iill have to keep up the farm fences
00. or lose all the gleanings from their
acids: because the stock taken from
the pasture to the unfenced fields
tfould stray off to the reed swamp or
Jther parts ol their old range where
they' could not be readily found. I
So why not let each district decide
tor itsell whether it needs a stock law
or not. The people of Cherokee
county do not know the conditions in
Craven or what is lor its best interest
and we do not know what is the best
for hem. The question for consider
ation, however, is wno wouia De Dene
filed, and who injured by a general
State wide Stock Law, and why?
lhe railroads would be benefited
because they get the freights paid on
meats shipped Irom the West, and
they have to pay for most of the stock
killed by their trains.
The Western packing houses would
because the supply of native beef keeps
down their prices and they would sell
uore tcet and pork in our market, ll
ihe native supply was reduced or ex-
hausted and get more for it per pound '
when sold.
The fertilizer companies would be
lpnefited. incidentally, because the
less stock raised, the less manure made
tno tne more icriiuzer required eo
ai;e our crops.
On the other hand, who would be
injured by such stock law?
1 he capitalist, whose money is inr
vested in timber lands, the lumber
romnanies. owning most of the standing '
timber in the lorest district, and tne
land owning farmers would be injured
because ,as every countryman knows,
the summer fires that destroy the
young timber, destroy the winter
range also; therefore, every stock owner
in an open range district, from the
tenant who has one or- two cows to
the farmer who has hundreds, is per
sonally interested in keeping these
fires out ot the woods: while in the
Stock Law district there is no one per
sonally interested in the suppression
of these ruinous fires except the land
and timber owners, consequently there
would be, from carelessness and in
difference, if not from malice, at least
three times as many ol such hres as
now occur, in spite of tie combined
vigilance of all the interested stock
owners.
The farmers in the sparsely settled
districts would be injurcel, because they
would be compelled to rcdu e stock
tosuch numbers a; thy could f ,-d the
whole year rou id, ind.-pen lent of the
range.
The stock raising tenants would
b injured becas jc they would be
forced to give up stock raising alto
gether and rely upon their muscle
alone for a living; and every citizen
in the near villages, towns and citier,
who has to purchase fresh meals for
his family would be injured, because
the supply of fresh native meats would
lc greatly curtailed, the demand pro
Dortionallv increased and the price
raised from fifteen to twenty ot twenty-
five cents a pound as it is in the North
ern cities..
One of the most intelligent and res
liable beef buyers engaged in the busi
ness is of the opinion that nine 0 it ol
ten beeves marketed at INcw Bern
come from the open ranges certain
ly not less than eight. So, if he is not
mistaken, tour tilths ol the city s beel
supply comes from the open ranges.
The stock law would compel the stock
owners to reduce the number of cattle
st least half and the city's supply from
this source would be reduced two
fifths. Now if the demand and price
increase in proportion to the shortage
fifteen cent beef will sell for twenty
one cents a pound. I am told the
Armour Packing Company sells its
beef low when the native supply is
plentiful and raises the price when i
is scarce. Hence if a State Wide Stock
Law i.i.'v.ul New Bernians may ex
pect to pay twenty five cents a pouad
for beef as the citixens of New York
and Washington City do.
