BOSTON, Ind, Jan. 29.-CharleS Gre
celins, nephew of two well-tO-dO and re-
spected farmers living near here, was
taken out last night by White Caps and
treated to fifty lashes on the bare back.
He has been married for some time and
has four children. About year ago
Crecelins suddenly deserted his home,
taking with him and unmarried girl
named Laswell, whom he induced to
elope. Their flight became known to
the girls relatives at once and pursuit
resulted in her capture and return home
after an absence of three days. Mr..
Laswell armed himself and started out
to kill Crecelins, but the latter received
timely warning and fled, remaining away
until short tine ago, his wife mean
while being without support.
1t became known that he was
in the neighbOrhOOd and the White
Caps determined to punish him. Ac-
cOrdingly last night about half score
of the regulators, having learned that
their man was at the house of one Nor
gan, called there, disguised and heavily
armed. CrecelinS met them, revolver
in hand. but the weapon was taken
away from him. He was then taken
out to tree near by and tied up, the
fifty lashes being administered with
will to the screaming captive. He was
then directed to go home to his wife
and children and take care of them, the
White Caps spokesman informing him
that any attempt to leave the neighbol-
hood would be frustrated and visited
with greater punishment still. He
promised to do as ordered, and was

THE READING RESPONSIBLE
For the Strike on Its Lines, Says
John Il. Lee.

Special to the Globe.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 29.-A large and
enthusiastic meeting of wOrkingmen
was held at the Front Street theater this
afternoon in aid of the Philadelphia q
Reading railroad and coal strikers.
Jerome Murphy, of Baltimore, presided.
Messrs. John l.. Lee, Of Philadelphia,
chairman of the executive committee of
the Reading railroad employees; John III.
Davis, of Mount Carmel, Pa, chairman
of the joint committee represen ting
the railrOaderS and miners, and
Pa, of the joint cOmmitte, addressed
the assemblage. The sum of S467.11 was
contributed to the relief fund and the
various local assemblies will take the
matter up and endeavOr to raise large
fund in aid of the strikers in PennSyl-
vania. Mr.. Lee, in vigorous speech,
said the strike OH the Reading railroad
and in the coal fields was premeditated
by the company. The ruinOuS policy
of Franklin Il GOwen was the cause of
throwing the road into the hands of
receivers, and, to restore it to the COM

night that he and his colleagues would
visit Washington tomorrow and en-
deavor to enlist the president of the

A STRICT LICENSE LAW
Is What Representative Campbell
Would Have.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Tbe house
committee on the alcoholic liquor traffic
has instructed its chairman, Represent
ative Campbell, of Ohio, to call the
speakers attention to the fact that bills
relating to the liquor business have
been referred to committees on the
judiciary, the ways and means and the
District of Columbia instead of the COM
mittee Oh alcoholic liquor traffic, which
committee, it is contended, properly has
jurisdiction of all bills affecting the
liquor question. On the 9th OF Febru-
AIRY the committee will give hearing
to delegation from the National Tenn
perance alliance Oh the bill to create a
commission to inquire into the liquor
traffic. Representative Campbell said
tonight that while he could not speak
for the full committee. he personally
was not i'll favor of prohibition. He
continued: "YOu cannot make men
temperate by statute. A strict license
law will prove effective. 1t stops the

PLEURO-PNEUMONIA.
Another Letter on the Subject by
Commissioner COlman,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-In response
to request from the senate C ,mmittee
on agriculture and forestry Commissioner
COlman has written long letter to SEN
ator Palmer. chairman of the commit
tee, setting forth his views with regard
to the suppression of pleuro-pneumonia
He reviews at some length
the history and method of work of
the bureau of animal industry and says
that congress should clearly under
stand that this method of work is abso-
lutely essential to wipe out the disease,
and that any law which falls short in
any one pan ticular will fail of it's pur-
pose and money expended under it will
be thrown away Commissioner Col
man expresses the belief that the plan of
state cooperation is preferable to the
one which relies solely upon national
authority and says that the work of eX-
tirpating pleurO-pneumOnia, which is
now being done by the bureau of ami
NAL industry, is going on smoothly.
harmOniously and effectively, by means
of state cooperation. He thinks that
this work should be continued upon the
same lines where it is now moving and
thati will be unfortunate. and ill-ad-
vised if any new and untried plan be
adopted.

WASTING TIME.
Neither House OF Congress In.
clined to DO Much Work.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. $50 little is
being accomplished in the way of gen.
eral legislation by congress that men,
bers are beginning to comment on it.
In the senate men have politics, law and
private business calling them from their
legislative duties much of the time,
while in the house everything seems to
await the tariff bill, the introduction of
which is promised some time during the
present week. For the first time In
many years the house has adjourned
over business days in the early part OF
the session, and number of times the
senate had adjourned from Thursday
till Monday. There seems to he dis
position all round to put as little busi-
ness Oh the calendar as possible and to
only take up measures when nothing
else can be found TO consume time.
The senate has already given about
three weeks to the consideration of the
Blair educational bill. A week ago it
promised that only few days would
elapSe before it would be finally dis
posed of, but the prospects are that the
end of the present week and even ten
days may elapse and find il at the head
of the calendar as unfinished business.
The senate especially seems 10th to take
up the general legislation on the calen-
dar. The differentiation bill has a
promise from: the committee on finance
of early considerations. and it may fig
ure in the proceedings of the week.
Chairman Davis, of the committee on
pensions, says he intends to call up
during the week the bill introduced by
Mr. Henderson and known as the q. A.

eX-sOldiers and sailors who are

WASHINGTON, Jan. ga plea for
the rejection of the proposed extradi-
ton treaty between the Russian and
United States governments has been
sent to Senator Joseph II. Hawley, of
Connecticut, and z. s. Heath, news
paper correspondent of this city, by
Sergius NJ. Stepniak, the Russian exile,
nihilist and revolutionist. now located
in London, whom these gentlemen met
in Russia last summer. Stepniak
makes special request that the mat
tel be laid before the senate committee
on foreign relations, and it is considered
one Of the strongest. if not most violent,
arguments that could be made against
the alliance between this and the Rus
sian governments. Stepnak, who is a
n0ted author, lays down as his text that
it is the riIlc with all civilized nations
that nobody can be condemned without
being heard in his defense; that the
projected extradition treaty with the
Russian government, if ratified by the
American senate, will be a Wholesale
condemnation to capital punishment,
and worse, of any number of Russian
patriotic people, designated as nihiiists,
who may seek refuge from the dcspot-

Account of the Clause Providing
For the DisOrganiZatiOn of Coun-
ties.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.--'I am not
entilely satisfied with the Springer
bill, said Col. VIM. Thompson, of Bis
marck. in the National hotel lobby this
morning.
What is there in it that displeases
you?"
while can not say that | am dis
pleased he replied, Il must say that
am not entirely satisfied with that
clause which provides for the disOrgan-
iZatiOn to counties. Mr.. Springer has
made mistake in that particular, and
| hope he will correct it,"
Please explain the error into which
he has fallen?"
''He provides for the abolition of all
counties having less than 5000 pOpula-
ton, and their annexation to contiguous
counties. If that clause remains in the
bill, it is calculated to work great hard
ship IS well as harm. You see, in the
first place, people become as much at
tached to their counties and the names
OF their counties as they do to their
states. even more So
But that is a mere sentimental hard
ship. Wherein is the harm?''
'lt would temporarily wreck all land
titles in the diSOrganiZed counties, and
permanently ruin some of them where
their owners might prove too illiterate
and uninfOrmed to look after their own
rights and interests. 1t would give
grounds for barratry and lead to almost
endless litigation. 1t would make an eX-
cellent harvest-tield for lawyers. and re-
duce some honest, prosperous tOilerS to
penury. 1t is wrong in principle, as
IT Is UNWISE AND UNNECESSARY"
But what are you going to do about
it, cOlonel?''
Il am going to see Mr.. Springer as
soon as | can without imposing on his
time, and L shall have conference with
him upon the subject. He is one of the
faireSt men in the land, good friend
of Dakota, personal friend of mine,
and as honest as he is brilliant and
able. When the matter is brought to his
attention in the manner which | have
outlined to you | am certain that he
will amend his bill by striking out that
clause"
How do you like the Johnson bill for
admission?'
Very well, indeed, except in the
clause which provides for location of
circuit courts at Fargo and Mitchell
The business which will naturally come
before those courts will always origi-
nate il the Missouri river valley in the
Indian and military reservations. Hence
the courts should be located at Pierre
and Bismarck. 1t is no selfishness nor
captiouSneSS which makes me offer that
suggestion, as | care not personally for
court at Bismarck. But | believe the
two points named would be more con-
vcnient for citizens and for witnesses
than either Fargo or Mitchell. AS soon
as the Sioux reservation is opened there
will be an immense business done at
Pierre, and the court should be there
instead of at Mitchell, which is not To-
