Await March Cf Striking Coal Miners

(Canadian Press)

TAYLORVILLE, 111., Aug. 15.- Like a. city under martial law, this community of about 8,000 persona looked over far-flung barricades to- night and waited alert for the pro- mised "march on Taylorville of striking coal miners from Spring- field and southern Illinoisl

Sentinels of townspeople and farmers, armed with shot guns, pia- toll and farm implements, kept vig- il on highways at C tlari County borders. In every township vigil- antes deputized by Sherifl Charles Wieneke, awaited call. Scouts toured roads outside the county.

Within the barricades of tractors, trucks and farm machinery, four big mines of the Peabody Coal Company hoisted coal at. capacity. Mm-gthcn 3.000 diggers were below tpday—2,000 wh'cm the strikers seek to enlist in their movement against the new $5 wage contract.

Nowhere, however. was any move- ment towird Taylcrviilc reported. Thirty miles away at Springfield pickets stood at entrances of all mines. and no diners Went into the tunnels.

M ll RI] E R ER IS REPRIEVEIJ

(Canadian Press)

LUNENBURG, N. 8., Aug. 15.—A gallows erected in the jail yard here will be torn down with its trap un- sprung. Naaman Smith, of Nine- veh. sentenced to hang on August 22 for the murder of his uncle, Lemuel, will spend his life in Dor- chester penitentiary under the terms of a telegram received today from the Under Secretary or State.

The commutation had its touch of quiet drama. Mr. and Mrs. ‘Gates Smith, father and mother of the condemned youth, had come with his grandmother to the jail cell from their country farmstead to bid him goodbye. They stayed to re- joice when R. C. Sterne, who had conducted the defence in court ar- rived at the jail to read the notice from Ottawa.

Commu‘ “on had been expected. The jury which convicted Smith had recommended mercy on the smund that the accused was ment- ally defective. W. C. Ernst, pro- scouting attorney had indicated his department would not press for ful- ifilment of the death sentence, which was mandatory under the verdict brought down last June. But as time passed no word came, and the gallows was finally erected.-

Last Iibbruary Naaman Smith shot down his uncle in a woodlot at Nineveh, leaving two garbred notes accusing several residents of the district of torturing an imaginary girl named “Goldie? '

In a confession he said he had killed Lemuel Smith because "the sign had been crossed against him.’

MONTREAL, Aug. 15. — Britisi anthracite poured out of ships here today, 54,129 tons having arrived over the weekend.

Seven vessels brought the cargoe. which probably hit a new high for, week-end delivery here. Match of the coal was for water transship- ment to Toronto. A small amount of British bituminous also arrived.

Four boats arrived from Swansea and two from Port Talbot with Welsh anthracite; two from Grangemouth and one from Glas- gow with Scotch anthracite and one from Leith with bituminous. A new record in monthly importation: of British coal from the United King- dom was reached in July and with the present figures it appeared that August would touch a still higher peak.

Most of the boats will return lad- cn with wheat, achieving the ship
