CHICAGO, Dec. S.-John Burns was here
yesterday and under the guidance of

any particular political party Burns said ::
Il am n trades unionist first, socialist
afterwards, and my abilities are ever at
the disposal of the wageworkcrs. l do
not, however, favor an independent poll
teal faction, but am heartily devoted to
independent political action. My theories
rs TO government ownership of railways,
etc, are all known, but l am not build
ing castles in Spain on communistic di-
vision of land and its mineral wealth."
Concerning the structures reported TO
have been made by him relative to certain
sections of New York rs compared with
similar ncighborhoods in London, he
said: MY New York friends We're de-
tcrnined to show me the most unpleasant
side of the slum picture, and will own
that i witnessed scenes in Green street
and in the Chinese quarter that We're ter
rible TO contemplate" Still he thought
that. the, ssqQEtnEs had quoted him too
vigorously. Burns left for Denver last

EDITOR DIFFERS WITH BISHOP,

LONDON. Dec S-The Irish Nationalist
members of parliament have decided to
take no action concerning the Introduction
nut upon the Wcstmeath Examiner, next
to The Frccman's Journal the leading pa
per of Ireland, by Right Reverend Thos.
Nulty. Roman Catholic bishop of Meath.
The Introduction is based upon the
fact that the paper editorially diff
fercd with the bishop on secu-
lar matter, whcreupon the bishop
caused ii to be declared from each of the
l6i pulpits in his diocese that the church
would regard it rs a sin, involving de-
nial of the sacraments, for any Roman
Catholic to read The Examiner or allow il
in his or her home.
Even saloonkcepcrs were prohibited
from keeping it on file. Mr. Hayden,
publisher of The Examiner, appealed last
week to Rome, but reply was returned
that the Vatican could not Interfere III
such matters The refusal of the Irish
National members OF parliament to inter
fere il explained in the fact that the
bishop absolutely controls the seats for
Meath and Westmcath, and can Gust the
McCarthyites at the next election II they
run contrary to his wishes.

Body Found in a Box--Developments in
the Cling Case.
KANSAS CITY, Dec. s.-A special to The
Times from Guthrie, o. T., says: A story
Of atrocity, smacking of the usages of a
barbarian country, comes from David, a
small town in the interior of the Indian
territory. AS stated in these dispatches
at the time, Colonel A. J. Blackwell, well
known in the west, was arrested for sell
ing land, and according to the Cherokee
laws sentenced to death for high treason.
Blackwell, when the territory first opened
Tor SCI ttlcmont, founded the town of David
and started new sect, pretending TO be a
prophet sent of God. lie engendered the
iil-will of a number Of Cherokees who, it
Is now said, Matched "a conspiracy to put
him out of the way.
Taken to a Place of Torture.
AT any rate two weeks ago Blackwell
Ias taken from the midst of his family by
nrdcr of the Cherokee council and being
brought to Ciareinorc was placed in close
confinement. Since then he has not been
allowed to even communicate with the
outside world and has been fed upon
bread and water. On Monday, the story
goes, Blackwell, after being -shavcn
and stripped of his clothes, was brought
before Chief Oaha, who was then holding
sub-council, and asked to confess.
Blackwell answered that he had no con-
fession to make, that he was the victim of
malicious conspiracy, and asked to he
released. Instead he was carried bodily
to the Needles" a place of torture a.
joining the prison, where he was sub
lected to treatment horrible in the ex-
trcme.

Ten bucks dancing around their victim
and each using steel used for the pur-
pose jabbed the naked flesh of Blackwell.
Their terrible cries OF ''ki-yi" and the
tortures We're kept up until Blackwell

punctureS in his flesh. sank to the ground
In this condition he was finally taken
| back to his former cell and still remains
| in irons, hand and foot, notwithstanding
the fervent appeals of his relatives and
| friends. What makes the case more COM
| plicated is the fact that Blackwell is a
| full l-fedged American and has no Chero-
kee blood in him. His trial has not been
set and what further indicnities await
him remain TO be seen.

MINNEAPoLIs, Dec. S.-Although the
Hayward brothers are in cells charged
with murder in the first degree il is frank
ly admitted by the county authorities that
they have not yet laid hands on the man
who fired the shot that killed Catherine
Cling In fact. while they have made
great progress, they are really IA long way
yet from solving the mystery as to the
identity of the actual murderer The
alibis of the Hayward brothers are perfect
SO far rs the time of the actual murder is
concerned. An important admission
made by Hayward to the authorities
while in the swcat-box, which has Just
leaked ont, is that Miss Cling was his mis-
tress. He admitted his liaison and in the
next breath denied emphatically that he
desired her death.
1t is known. too, that Hayward was very
much smittcn with the young lady whom
he took to the thcatcr ON the night of the
tragedy, that hc was, in fact. engaged to
marry her. and that the trosseau had been
bought and the day set. The authorities
believe that this fact may furnish the ad-
ditional motive deemed necessary TO ex-
plain the crime. 1t has seemed scarcely
possible that so horrible a crime should be
instigatcd by Hayward for the $1,000 in
surance money which would be obtained
and which he would have to share with
the Others who were in the conspiracy.
Five thousand dollars would he no no

the prosecution is satisfied that Harry

understood that he has attempted to push
the goods through other parties and in

Deer Combine Broken.

CHICAGO, Dec. s.-The Chicago and
Milwaukee Brewers association, other
wise known as the beer trust. the brew
ers pool, and the beer combine, gave up
the ghost. The causes which have led to
the disruption of the combine are various.
1t was due principally, perhaps, to the
failure to bring all the brcwerics of the
two cities into the ring; also to the recent
withdrawal of one of the members, the
threatened withdrawal of others. and the
violation of the agreement by which the
association was held together by the brew
ers who still retained their membership.
