For the Murder Of Michael Hayden. al East.
port.

EAsTPoRT, Sept. 20-Three men are
now under arrest for the murder of Michae
Hayden, at Eastport, Tom and Will Las
key, and James +. Justason. Will Laskey
swore at the hearing of the coroner and
jurymen that he saw Justsson leave the
house, walk after Hayden some 20 feet
with club in his hands, and deliver the
blow; Hayden fell and he ran. Tom Las
key swore he saw Hayden fall, but did moi
see his assailant.
1t will be remembered that on the night
of the affair, Frank Sears, who lives neaI
by, came upon the scene just as Ton
Lasky was leaving. He told the city mar
shall and others at their arrival. that he had
seen Tom strike the blows. The next day
he deried seeing it, and stated that he wa.
intoxicated at the time, and not responsi
BILE.
AT the two different hearings he said
nothing of this, but Tuesday he confessed
10 the officers and jurymen, that he had
seen the blows struck and knew who the
guilty ones were. He says that he has
been unable to sleep or eat since the deed
and wishes to tell all he knows about tht
matter.

MATTER OF FUNDS
enqrosses the Attention oi the Mule Spinners
Association.

BosroN, Sept. 20.-The semi-annual
convention of the Mule Spinners' Associa-
ton of America ended this noon. 1t was
called to order at ., and the financial situa-
ton discussed.
In addition to the $50 900 in the treasu-
ries of the local unions, available for carry
ing on strikes, it was shown that the levy of
60 cents a week makes total of $1,000 a
week. 1t was voted to put this in the
national treasury the locals at New Bed
ford, Fall River and Dover to use their
own money to carry on their respective
strikes. until it was all used up, if need be,
and then the national association would
come to the rescue.
1t was voted that if the Strike should be
in force at the end of three weeks from
Thursday to increase the levy to 81 per
week. In such case the National Asso.
citation will take the conduct of the strike
in hand.
Senator Howard and Secretary Ross were
instructed to interview President Gompers
of the Federation of Labor and ask him to
issue general appeal to the allied bodies
of the federation for funds to carry on the
strike if need be.
Ross, Howard and the sub committee Of
the executive council were empowered to
send out dele gates to collect money in aid
of the strike, which money should be put
into the general fund and later apportioned
to the local unions according to their men,

JAPAN'S CREDIT
Stands High Among the Eng
lish Money Lenders,
Since the Recent Naval Victory over
the Chinese.
The Totquin Pirates have The French Troops
After Them.

LONDON, Sept. 20.-A dispatch has been
received by the Japanese legation here,
stating that the japanese fleet met and de-
feated i Chinese war ships and six torpedo
boats, 50 miles northeast of Hai-Yang-Tao,
Sept. l6, and is virtually confirmed by the
dispatch received by the Central News from
Toxic.
The Central News dispatch gives the time
of attack as noon, Sept. II, instead of l
p. NJ. Sept. Is, as given in advices re-
celved by the Japanese legation. Accord
ing to the Central News adyices, nine Japa
nese warships, conveying two transports,
armed, sighted ~ Chinese warships and six
gunboats of the time mentioned. The fight
ing began by an attack upon three Chinese
warships which were sunk. As the fighting
progressed another Chinese warship was set
on fire and destroyed and the remaining
eight only one of which was unipjured,
with six gunboats, succeeded in getting
away. japanese warships Matsushima and
Hi-Yei were slightly damaged and one
armed transport was seriously crippled.
None of the japanese ships were lost The
Japanese loss was 90 men known to have
been killed and 46 wounded. The Japanese
war loan, the lists of which closed, today,
Sept. 20) received subscriptions covering
three times the amount of the loan.
After the first three hours of engagement
the firing was intermittent. The captain of
the cruiser Chi Yuen fought bravely when
his ship was little better than wallowing
wreck and until the cruiser was sunk by a
torpedo and her crew were engulfed. The
scene at this point is described as appalling
Many guns on both sides were
disabled, and the battered ships
rolled heavily, and their steam pumps were
kept constantly at work to keep them atloat
During the last hour of battle, some Chi
nese ships ran out of ammunition, and
some japanese ships threatened to founder
At dusk, the Japanese ships moved slowly
southwark in double line. 1t seems impos
sible that the surviving Chinese ships can
be repaired before winter.

important meeting of the Democratic state
central committee was held in this city,
this afternoon, for the purpose of confer
ring on matters relative to the coming state
