There seems to be little change
In the Grayson Telephone company
Sfike situation. Tlie company says
it has electrical workers and opera-
tors and is getting the recent trouble
up In good .shape. The company
says that If any of the members of
tlie local union wish to return to
work it is ready for them to apply.
Tlie following is from a recent
Issue of the St. Louis Republic and
will be read with interest here. It
refers to a former well known Sher-
man lady, Mrs. D. E. Emerson,
daughter of Rev. anil Mrs. R. N.
Brown of this city;
^ That being a successful real es-
tate dealer in no way disqualifies
a woman as a home-maker and a
club worker lias been demonstrated
by Mrs. IV K. ErffA^sou of Ch('-ka-
sha, who during the last three years
has been engaged in the veal estate
business and kept up her home du-
ties and club work.
.Mrs. Emerson is a woman ol
broad education and is the daughter
of a Methodist minister. She has
made money in the business world
anu can cite a real estate bargain
as quickly as.any of her men com-
petitors.
Besides her business duties, which
require regular office hours, Mrs.
Emerson has kept her home and
nas atended her Hub'meetings each
week and maintained ,her social ob-
ligations. Mrs. Emerson Is a suf-
fragette and can .argue her convic-
tions very convincingly.

lish the following:
Sherman, Tex.. Aug. 12, 1912.
To tlie People of Sherman:
Hearing that a report Is out that
the linemen's strike has been set-
tled. we wish to state that the report
Is false. A committee from the Cen-
tra! Trades Council, composed of
\V. R. Gilley, Miles McKinney, John
Hall and I). Arnold, waited on the
company at 5 o’clock Saturday, Aug.
5 but they were unable to get a set-
tlement. However, the company
asked for a conference with our state
organizer, Mr. White, stating that he
would like to go over the agreement
with hint.
So far the company has not found
any men to fill our places but are
bringing in girls from out of town
to tHke lie places of the young lady
operators who were laid' off.
Mr. Guy White, state organizer of
the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers, will be here
from Dallas to meet with the arbi-
tration, committee front the Trades
Council and again wait on the man-
agement of the,(. Grayson Telephone

We, the Electrical Workers. feel
confident that the trouble will surely
be settled today.
Respectfully submitted.

AKhOvittted PrewK Dispatch)
Ossining, New York, Aug. 12.—
Seven murderers were electrocuted
in Sing Sing prison this morning,
the largest number ever electrocut-
ed in one day. Thesre were six
Italians and one negro. Five of the

ing a farmer's wife and another
with wife-murder. The negro killed
a ipoliceman in New York. All except
the negro protested innocence. One
fainted and another had twice at-
tempted to suicide. »■-.
The crime for which five of the
Italians paid tile penalty was the

young wife of a superintendent of
tlie aqueduct near Croton Lake. On
November 9 of last, year Mrs. Hall
was attacked and robbed >by half a
dozen Italians who entered her cot-
tage ivhiie her husband was at
work a mile away. She.was stabbed
twice, one wound being near the
heart,
Tlie young woman? a bride of a
fewr months, was in delicate health
and was in care of a young woman
nurse, who was also beaten and
kicked but who recovered suffi-
ciently to run to the construction
camp and spread the alarm.
A posse of sheriffs, farmers and
laborers took up the chase and suc-
ceeded in capturing five of the Ital-
ians who had participated in the dia-
bolical crime A sixth member, Lo-
renzo Colli, said ti> have been the
leader of the gang, was arrested in
Brooklyn a few days later Colli con
feesed to having been the a' lual nmr-
deretfV’of Mrs. Hall. He was given a
to; ai’at.e trial and was convicted and
executed several weeks ago.

Comedy of Errors in Mix-Up of Baby and Dog
iHICAGO—This story has to deal
V/ with a baby, a dog. and their re-
spective and loving oW’ners, a Clark-
Devon street car, and a typical return-
ing-hnme-from-work crowd. It hap-
pened on the. north side, between Mad-
ison street and Belmont avenue.
As you may have guessed, It was a
running story, which might have been
turned into a debate entitled “Which
Do You Ixive the Most—the Baby or
the Dog 7”
The woman with the dog was a
good natured, friendly sort, even If
she had taken advantage of the con-
ductor by smuggling her four footed
friend aboard under-)the guise of a
package under one of the folds of her
dress. After getting successfully on
the car, she nudged a fat man to one
side and made room beside her for
the dog.
Shortly afterward a tired looking
mother carrying an armful of baby
passed up her nickel to the conductor
and got the right to stand in the car.
This situation continued until the
owner of the pup developed a streak
of sympathy and offered to hold the
baby for the tired woman, but let the
mother continue to stand. The trans-
fer was effected without Incident and
all went well for a few minutes.
Along about Wrlghtwood avenue the
woman owning the dog happened to
look out gnd see that she was passing
her stopping place. She jumped to
her feet, still holding the other wom-
an's baby, nearly overturned half a
dozen persons on her way to the door,
and jumped off, leaving her dog b»
hind.
The mother of the baby did not mla*
the little one or notice the departure
of the friendly woman until tha car
had gone another two blocks. Then
she let out a whoop that startled th«
moat blase ‘ pay-as-you-enters” and
dropped to the street In the etclt»
ment she had picked up the dog.
Meanwhile the woman tyith the ba-
by had gone Into a drug store to And
some means of calling up the car
barns to locate the car, restore th«
bnby to Its mother, and secure her
dog. This comedy of errors continued
for more than an hour before ther*
came a happy reunion of baby and
mother and the dog and owner.
