SARGENT AND DeBs ARE PLEAstD
Censuring of Judge Jenkins by the House

Censuring of Judge Jenkins by the House
Committee Gives Them Joy.
Grand Master Sargent of the Brother
hood of Firemen was surprised by tie
severe nature of the report of the house
committee on Judge Jenkins Injunction
against the men on the Northern Pacific.
When the committee was at Milwaukee
the members gave the impression that
the report would be against the ruling
of Judge jenkins, but there was no hint
that 1t would take him severely to task.
Mr.. Sargent is particularly well pleased
with the recommendation that a law
will be passed to prevent Judge Jenkins
from being duplicated. That was the
real object he had In view when he
went to Washington to have the con
gressional investigation ordered.
President Debs of the American Rail-
way Union said that he is much pleased
with the Boatner report. He thought
congress, would act upon the recommen-
dalton and that the tendency Of fedora
Judges to issue restraining orders OF
hearing but one side would be checked
On far as he is concerned he did not de

FOUR MEN SHOT
Another Fight Near North Yakima
Three lndustrials Suffering.
FIRED ON BY DEPUTIES
A Fatal Experiment In Navigating the
Yakima River-FOur Industriais
Wero Drowned.

NORTH YAKIMA, May 12.-Another bat
tie between the marshals and indus
trials occurred yesterday morning be-
tween and 6 o'clock, and two more
wounded industrials have been added to
the number at the city hospital. Neither
is seriously wounded, although one has
very painful hurts In the face, having
been shot in the mouth by Winchester
rife. Early yesterday morning Deputy
Minsch received telegram stating that
$50 striking miners from Roslyn had
captured cattle cars at Ellensburg and
were on their way to Yakima armed
with rifles. The road is down grade all
the way, Ellensburg being nearly 1000
feet higher than Yakima. Minch de-
tailed squad of forty-elght men to
guard, the plan being to intercept the
runaway train. The marshals barri-
caded the bridge by placing rails across
the track. When the gang arrived at
the bridge at about 4:30 portion were
riding on tor of the cars and the balance
were behind pushing. They were
ordered by the marshals to halt and
throw up their hands. Those on top
complied, but at the same time fired
two shots, while those In the rear of the
car took to their heels, wading ont into
the river and trying 10 escape In other
directions. The marshals returned the
fire with Winchesters, three Coxeyites
being wounded, one In the mouth, one
In the shoulder and one very slightly In
the leg. The two former were taken at
once to the city hospital, while the
balance, numbering ninety-one, were
placed in jail.
In searching the prisoners Sheriff
Simmons of this county brought to light
a 45-callber revolver, with two car
tridges which look as though they had
been freshly exploded. This would in
dictate that the statements made by
them that they did not fire first were
untrue. None of the marshals we're
injured.

Sanders and His Men in Topeka.

TOPEKA, May 12.-The Saunders train
stealers arrived here yesterday after
noon. The attitude of Governor Level
ling was soon manifested toward the
commonwcalers. He and Mrs. Diggs
and Secretary of State Osborne and
other populist leaders at once held
private conference and at the close
they issued call for a mass meeting to
be held on the public square last night
"to discuss che question of the unem-
ployed." Further than that, the gov
ernor consented to the request of the
army to be allowed to camp on the
courthouse grounds while In the city.
Marshal Medley interfered with that
plan tor the present by keeping the
men locked up in the train. Saunders
says the Missouri Pacific in blocking

mittee Meeting-Matters Pertaining
to Apportionment,

BOISE, May 12.-The republican state
central committee met today. The
northern counties were all represented
by proxy, except Kootenai, wSS.ch was
not represented at all. This state con-
vention was called to meet in Boise ON
the sth of August. In the matter of
apport'onment, 1t being impossible to de-
termine what the republican vote Of
the Mormon counties Is, the represen-
tation was based upon the total voting
population. Each county was given
two delegates at large and ode for
each 200 voters. The following 10 the
appointment: Ada 0, Alturne 8, Bear

the meeting was the reading By Chair
man Wilson Of the following dispatch;
WASHINGTON, May Ito Edgar VIII
son or members of the state committee:
There is strong sentiment In Idaho
for the election of United States sena.
tors by direct vote of the people. We
are in full accord with rnst sentiment.
Many years must necei sarily pass be.
fore the constitution can be changed to
meet this demand. The same result
can be practically reached by naming \
United States senator by the state con.
vention. Many most excellent reasons
exist for naming senator hy the state
committee. They will readily occur to
your convention. There can be no
sound argument based on pure and
worthy motires against It, and TO this
end We suggest call for a state ,on-
vention, to be formed in accordance
with this plan and that ample time be
given the question to reach and be con.
sldered by each county, before county
conventions are held; also that each
county convention be requested to act
upon this basis We earnestly join In
the request that the state committee
commend this TO the Tarty ana AK Inc
state convention to so name.

The Striking Illinois Miners Are New
Facing Hunger.
PEORIA, ILL.,, May 12.-The condition
Of the striking miners Of Peoria county
is said to be deplorable. The men have
had very little work for the past three
years and most of that time have been
employed at starvation wages. The
operators, in order to give them work
at all, have been forced to cut the price
of coal, and the wages OF men CORE
spondingly. Many of them, especially
the men with families to support, are
without some Of the necessaries of life.
They have no money and little or no
food. An appeal has been made to the
people of Peoria for supplies of various
kinds and donations Ct cash. Unless
these are received the men cannot long
continue their fight. No cash will be
given out except in case of sickness,
and all single men are expected to look
out for themselves.

COURIER JOURNAL AGAINST HIM.
Louisville Paper CalIs on Ksntuckians
to Repudiate BreckinrIdRe.


LOUISVILLE, Ky, May l2.-The Cour-
Ter Journal, which has heretofore main.
tained position of strict neutrality
regarding the case of Congressman w.
c. p. Breckenridge since the beginning
of the Pollard scandal, breaks silence
In an editorial declaring that Breckin.
ridge should be beaten for renomina-
tion. The paper says:
"The situation In the Ashland dis
trlct, unfortunate as tits unprecedented,
makes 1t imperative that every journal
which has the good of the party at
heart, which cherishes the honor of Its
state and which appreciates its obliga-
lions TO society shall protest with all
Its power against the reelection OF
Colonel W. @. p. Breckinridge. We do
not underrate what he has done for his
party and the cause of tariff reform in
the past. But even If his ability for
future usefulness were not destroyed
by the miserable scandal which has
hAS thS Patty SOulu
not AFFORD to accept his services at the
price 1t would be forced to pay. 1t Is
idle to attempt to obscuse the issue
with sophlstical distinction between
Breckinrijge's public and private life,
The case has gone far beyond the
possibility of that. The question
simply Is, do the people of Kentucky
propose to send as representative to
congress the man whom Colonel Brock.
inrldge confessed himself to be in his
testimony before Washington jury
1t Is a question which transcends the
limits of the Ashland district and OF
Kentucky itself. 1t is question in
which the people of the entire nation
are deeply interested. That part Of
his speech devoted to the scandal In
which he has figured were better passed
over In pity. 1t Is strange exhibition
of marvellous effrontery, wretched taste
and mentally and morally oblique
causistry."

dozen citizens at once approached
and offered to send food to the men,
but were informed by the marshals
that they could not receive it. When
this became known the indignation was
intense.
neer, 'I'll give you 800 to refuse to take
that train out of the yard" The engi-
neer went on oiling his engine whlch had
been attached to the train ready to
steam back with its load of living
freight to Seattle. All kinds of eplthets
were hurled at the deputies. but they
made no answer.
The train men were called to and en-
plored In the name of unionism to re-
fuse to take the train out but gave no
sign.
The throng surged back and forth
muttering imprecations against the dep
uties. Some were in favor of an assault
and it was with difficulty that they were
restrained. Yells of ditch the train
were heard, but the commonw callers
said no. The special was only waiting
for freight train to pull into the yards.
This was done and with a clear track
the signal was given.
The outside sympathizers made rush
for the west end of the yards, evidently
with the intention of throwing a switch
to ditch the train, but they were too
late. The engineer pulled the throttle
Of his machine open and the train went
flying through and passed the crowd at
forty miles an hour.
Cantwell Immediately turned, went
to the telegraph Office and wired the in
dustrlals all along the line to leave the
right of way as 1t was the, intention of
the deputies to arrest them and impris.
on them in two empty coaches taken
along for that purpose and take them
back to Seattle.
The crowd then dispersed and the
army went back to their headquarters
to gather in small knots and talk of the
inhumau treatment to which their com
rades had been subjected.
In the meantime Commander Jeffries
had not been idle. Upon learning OF
the men being imprisoned here he went
before Judge Buck OF the Superior court
and swore out 4 writ of habeas corpus
for the prisoners.
The writ was turned over to the
sheriff to serve, but that official was
too late as the special train on which
they were to be taken back TO Seattle
had left the city. 1t is understood
that an effort will be made TO detain
the train at some point down the line
and compel the return OF the deputies
and their prisoners to this city.
After the train left the city there
was great excitement on the streets
Many were for forming a protective
home guard, as it was rumored that
the marshals would return and arrest
the commonwealers in this city. Two
thousand men stand ready to enlIs
should such an organization be formed
Everyone is recommending Commander
Jefries and Cantwell for the course

would undoubtedly have stormed thu
