How about those Rubber Heels ON YOUR SHOES Rubber Heels make walking a pleasure and they are better than leather heels for the following rea- sons: They are light, keep you from slipping and don’t scratch the floor as some heels do. This is the time to put them on and it costs only 40cC. I put them on while you wait in 10 minutes. They are more economical than other heels because they wear longer. Better think about it now before you slip or fall on the sidewalk. I use only the Catspaw, the best rubber heels made. M.

Nashville, Tenn., ' Feb. 3—Many people are under the impression that the trial now in progress here is that of Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, Robin J. Cooper and John D. Sharp, charged with the killing of former United States Senator Carmack. Judge Hart, however, gravely insists that it is the jurors who are on trial. Two have been convicted and excused on charges. The case against the third, J. M. Whitworth, is proceeding. Judge Anderson of the defense rose to a question of personal privilege as soon as the court was declared in ses- sion. FAGES TRIAL BY GOURTMARTIAL Charges Agamst Captain of Battleship Georgia. ACCUSED OF INTOXICATION Charged by Admiral Wainwright of Being Under the Influence-of Liquor at a Reception on Shore Some Days Ago—Captain Qualtrough Denles the Accusation, Claiming His Con- dition Was Due to Fatigue. Gibraltar, Feb. 3—Captain B. F. Qualtrough of ‘the battleship Georgla of the fleet under Rear Admiral Sperry is under arrest on board his own vessel and will be trled by court- martial on a charge preferred by Rear Admiral Wainwright that he was un- der the influence of intoxicants at a reception given on shore a few days ago, The captain was relieved from duty by the rear admiral immediately after the reception and the executive officer was placed fn command. The ship was brought into Gibraltar by the executive officer. Admiral Sperry, after considering the report of the rear admiral, decid- ed upon a courtmartial and appointed the members. The captain in question denies the charge. His defense will be that he was under a heavy strain during the last run of his vessel on account of rough weather; that on the day of the reception he had been on the bridge since 4 o'clock in the morning; that he did not drink anything during the day and partook sparingly of the wine served at the dinner which preceded the reception. Fatigue was responsi- ble for his appearance. 2 This affair has been kept quiet, but none the less it has created a painful impression, as it is the first charge preferred against an officer of high rank since the beginning of the cruise. The Georgia is the flagship of the Second division of the fleet. REPEATS FORMAL WARNINGS President Again Considers Anti-Japa- nese Legislation. ‘Washington, Feb. 3.—The. Japanese situation, in view of the action of the Nevada legislature in criticising the president for interfering with Califor- nia legislation and strongly denmounc- ing the Japanese, together with the renewed efforts in the California leg- islature to secure legislation, was un- der consideration at the White House. The president talked with three or four of his callers, among them being former Mayor Phelan of San Fran: cisco. The president repeated " his formal warnings against irritating Jegislation. He expressed the hope -not /p B, Wik Iands by aliens Vexc pf"udd conditions. The| president: that this bill would, not be omeuslve to Japan, but any other lej slation more drastic would prove éxeedditigly troublesome. - So far the prégident does not contemplate writing any fur- ther letters, feeling that he has-suffi- clently enlightened the public as to the possibilities of the situation. The president reiterated to his callers his confident belief that decreased imnii- gration brought about by Japan in this country will solve the question. - Too Inquis Politiclan—Congratulate me, my deaz, I've won the nomination.
