CARDINAL GIBBONS Says Fat Guilty Standard Oil Offi- rials in Jail. New York, Aug, 12. Cardinal Gibbons, highest dignitary of the Roman Catholic Church in America, who is resting at Southampton, Long Island, expressed himself as follows to-day regarding the pun ishment mettd out by the Federal Court in Chicago to the Standard Oil Company: "The fine of $29,240,000 imposed upon the Standard Oil Company for violations of the law is, indeed, a large 6um of money, but I am not prepared to state whether or not it was excessive. If, however, it is inadequate, in compelling a com pliance with the law the incarcera tion of the guilty officers, with its attendant disgrace, would prove a more effective remedy. "Moral suasion alone will never accomplish the needed reformation in this direction. Many fine ser mons might be preached to these men, but they would continue to accumulate millions by the same methods which are now being ex posed. The disgrace of imprison ment would prove a certain remedy, according to my understanding of its effect upon this class." Concerning tbe crime situation in New York, the Cardinal made this comment: "As a remedy for the crime wave now sweeping through New York City, I would suggest that penalties be imposed that will be commen surate with the crime. The prin cipal preventative to such sentences being imposed and carried out lies in tbe fact that able and influential lawyers lend themselves to the de tense of the criminals and the crime and through astuteness secure in a manner its effect on the case, either a real or a nominal fine." Pessimistic Feeling is Financial Cir clea. New York. August 12. Last week's liquidating movement in the stock market was resumed at the very opening of business to day, and save for a few fitful ral lies, was maintained throughout the session. Securities came ou in enormous volume for the first ten minutes, when the situation was one of utter demoralization. The greatest losses were those recorded by tne Hill and Harri man stocks, but a number of the less conspicuous issues were thrown over at severe declines. The break was checked before the end of the first hour, but in the late afternoon prices went still lower. New low records were made by some issues, and the list as a whole was very near the low level made in the "silent panic last March. Sentiment in high financial cir cles was decidedly pessimistic, re fleeting the disgust and lack of confidence which appeared to per vade the markets of the world at this particular time. To a large extent this feeling is based on ex isting monetary conditions. Time money is becoming scarcer at all the leading financial centers, and this condition gives promise of be coming acute here before the end of the month, by which time crop moving demands will have attained their full proportions. Among the other causes which contributed to to-day's sensational declines were the weakness of American securi ties in London.

As a result of the contention over the Cumberland Presbyterian Church property at this place, the ruling elders of the C. P. Church have ap plied for a mandatory injunction seeking to restrain W. T. Salmon, tbe U. S. A. pastor and his Board of Elders from further possession of the church, and to demand of them the surrender of the keys and the prompt and complete abandon ment of all claims whatever. The application for the injunction has been filed with Chancellor Stout who has the same under advisement and who will act finally upon the matter at Clarksvill?3ext Wednes day. The result is awaited with much interest here. This being the birthplace of the C. P. Church, the faithful had worked zealously to build themselves a home in memory of the 'past. Many priva tions were endured and many self denials made in order that the work j might be accomplished. But, no sooner , had the effort succeeded than the storm burst in all its fury upon the builders, and like those that were led captive to Babylon like those that refused to forget Jerusalem the faithful refuse to abandon their home; they refuse to sing the Lord's song in a strange land, and therefore no end of inter est attaches to the result.

WALTERS, - Union City FATAL SHOOTING AT FULTON. Bert Blackford and Charles Martin Have Difficulty. Fulton, Ky., Aug. 12. B e r t Blackford shot Charley Martin this afternoon in R. S. Murphey's place of business on tbe Tennessee side of the town. The two men had been drinking and had words on the street during the day and the affray in Murphey's place was the termination of tbe affair. ' It seems that Martin had gone to Cairo for work, but on returning to this city was employed in a shop in which Blackford worked. Tbe street quarrel was renewed when the two men met in Murphey's place and Blackford claims that Martin made movement as if to draw a gun when he (Blackford) pulled out his pistol and commenced firing at Martin. Three shots were fired, one taking effect in the right side. After the shooting, Blackford es caped to the Kentucky side and made an attempt to get away, but was apprehended by Chief of Police Eaker. He was taken to the rear of Phelp's hardware store and placed under guard until a warrant could be issued by the Tennessee authorities and he was taken back to Tennessee and carried to Union City jail. Martin lingered for a few hours and expired. He has been a resident of Fulton for many years and is a popular young married man. Blackford came to Fulton several months ago from Cairo, 111., where he has been employed 6ince in a barber shop. Tennessee School for the Blind.

The Tennessean endorses the efforts of the Chattanooga Cham ber of Commerce in its plan of holding a convention of the secre tanes oi tne commercial organi zations of the South. It has been definitely determined to hold such a convention, and the dates are fixed for October 1G and 17, to meet in the city of Chatta nooga, and it is believed that the larger number of commercial bod ies throughout the South will have delegates present. The objects of this gathering will be to discuss plans for render ing business organizations more active and efficient in' the work of building up the South, and to ob tain closer co-operation between them on matters of common inter est. A program will be arranged along these lines, and every secre tary who attends will receive prac tical ideas from those whose ex perience entitles them to give ad- vice on tne suojects discussed. Every commercial organization in the South will be asked to send its secretary as a delegate to this con; vention. Considerable good should result to the various organizations taking part in this conference, as well as giving added impetus to Southern trade generally. Concerted action is the only thing needed to bring supremacy to the South as an in dustrial center. Nashville Tennessean. Nothing delivered on Sunday af ter 11 a. m. Dahske. Of Textile Manufacturers and Labor Men. Gov. Patterson has issued a call for a conference of textile manu facturers and labor representa tives, to be held in Nashville Oct 14. This call has been issued after a conference with President A. E. Hill, of the Nashville Trades and Labor Union, and Secretary E. S, Shannon, of the Nashville Board Board of Trade. The Governor's call, which is self-explanatory, fol lows: To Whom Concerned: By virtue of the authority In me vested by a-joint resolution of the Tennessee Legisla ture, approved and signed by me March 11, 190", I hereby call a meeting and conference of the representatives of all labor organizations and others In terested in this movement, from what are known as tne Uotton states, to meet In the City of Nashville on Oct. 14, 1907, there to consider the question of child and female labor In shops and factories, with a view to adopting uni form laws that will be agreeable and just to the respective parties In interest. The importance of this meeting Is self-evident. In the uplift and evo lution of civilized nations, the care and protection of women and children are questions that have become para mount. The ablest statesmen, publi cists, philanthropists, and thinking people generally, are addressing them selves assiduously to an adjustment of these matters, and I urge upon all textile interests, and especially upon all labor organizations, to choose and send delegates of conservatism, pro bity, ability and dis'cretion, who will meet and give serious thought to the questions mentioned, and take such action as may commend Itself to their good judgment. Done In Nashville, Tenn., at the Executive Chamber, this Aug. 9, 1907. Malcolm It. Pattkhson, Governor. One subject of special impor tance to come before this confer ence will be that of laws regulat ing hours, it being desired to se cure uniform action by the States in regard to this feature of the labor question.' It is expected that the conference will be largely at tended, and that a movement of far-reaching results will be the outcome. Real Estate Transfers. Geo. S. Hardy and wife to Alice E.
