But Few Coxeyites Put in an Appear
ance at the Capitol.
The Coxsyites showed very little interest
In Congress today. 1t was expected that
when the House and Senate met the gal
leries would be occupied to a considerable
extent by members Of this fraternity. It
turned out. however. that when the houses
met and up to two hours afterward not
more than dozen, all told. had appeared.
The authorities do not expect any further
demonstration. believing the incident of
yesterday ended the matter as far as Con-
gress is concerned, but there appears to be
no opportunity for Mr.. Coxey or others Of
his army to slip in unobserved by the police
ana get on their speeches from the steps of
the building. The Capitol police are max
ing no show of more than ordinary watch
Iulness, but as they are always on hand
there Is not much chance Of their being
over-reached.
AS far as Congress proper is concerned
tnere Is no recognition Of the existence of
such thing as Coxey's army. Whatever
Is done concerning them must be purely a
municlpal matter. The situation is not
looked upon as serious or as coming within
the range of things demanding The atten-
tlon OF Congress. Individually the general
Ieeiing among Congressman is that the
leaders should be held by the local author
tues to strict accountability for their
course, ana that action should be taken to
prevent sickness and suffering among the
deluded followers In the movement. as far
as 1t can be done

The police are now somewhat anxious
concerning the movements Of Col" Thos
Galvin's Industrial army. Dispatches locate
this army at Wheeling, w. Va. today, and

the party.
Chief Grannon of the Baltimore and Ohio
detectives Is In the city today, and he had
several conferences with Mai Moores men
at headquarters.
The men who comprise this army are by
no means similar to those in the Coxey
camp.
They are not tramps," raid Chief Gran
non to Star reporter today. They are
reported as miners from California, and
are sullen and rough lot of men,"
He thinks they are calculated to create
trouble. They were sent from Columbus to
Benwood by the citizens, who subscribed
money to pay their railroad fare, and now
they are to be sent to Pittsburg.
Calvin told one Of the railroad detectives

sible, as he Is due here at that time. He
hardly expects to reach here on time, but
says he will be here not later than the 18th.
forces will join the Coxey crowd when they
reach here. and he thinks the men will be
more troublesome to the public than the
Coxeyites.

from Wheeling. w. Va. the following spe-
cial dispatch: "Galvin's army is camped on
Wheeling Island and men. are behaving fine

COUNCIL BLUFFS TRAGEDY.


Evidences Indicating That Huntington Was
Innocent OF Theft.
COuNCII. BLUFFS, Dec. 20.--The theory
that Huntington, the bank clerk who
shot two of the bond company inspcc.
tors and then committed suicide, was
shot by other hands than his own, was
Exploded and the jury accordingly
decided. Cromwell's testimony before
the coroner's jury did much to
streng then the belief in Huntington's
innocence. He said he could not
specify any particular check that was
missing; and SO far as he could see the
bank had not lost $500. excepting as
far as bookkeeping was concerned
The mystery surrounding the note
about which the inspectors questioned
Huntington has been cleared up, The
note was for $50, and was paid this
month, although Huntington could not
tell where he got the money with
which to pay his bill Bennett, cashier
OF the State Savings bank, testified
that on the same day the note fell due
Huntington borrowed $50 at his bank.
There is now no doubt that the whole
affair resulted from Huntington getting
his accounts mixed, and that he was
not thief. but he thought that he
would be so branded

Thinks This liz a Great Country--- Still
Chance for Improvement.
| CHICAGO, Dec. 2l.--John Burns, the
| London labor agitator and member of
4 parliament, who had been in Denver
| IN attendance Mt the convention of
the American Federation of Labor, was
interviewed here. In regard to his
criticism in Denver of the American
constitution, Mr.. Burns said reports
sent out to certain papers were gross
! exaggerations. What he said on that
occasion was that considering all the
| changes that had been made in America
since the pre-industrial period when
the constitution was framed, he thought
there might advantageously be made
some changes in it in accordance with
the increased love of liberty of the
American people. AS it stood now, it
was the best constitution ever written,
but that did not mean that it could
not be improved upon. MIR. Burns
stated his opinion of this country as
far as he had seen it epigramatically, as
follows: SCHOOLS splendid; libraries
excellent; jails too good; roads bad,
streets worse, drainage the same; art
museums good for the age of the
country; corporations exacting, tyran-
meal and eXtravagant; railway travel
ing palatial for the rich and better
than any Ihave ever seen for the poor; \
cut off the headlines Of your newspapers
and you have good carcass left, but
still too much of a journalistic slaugh-
ter honse; municipal life considerably
below that of any in Europe. / like
America and shall come here again
some day l think one of these days
its municipal institutions, like most of
its others, will be the greatest in the
world.
Il have been treated kindly by the
mayors and principal officers In all the
cities have visited he continued.
'sNo, / won't write book l will tell |
the people in my speeches when l am
face to face with them what think of
them; not skunklil1e, hide myself in a
cloud of hostile dust That's me.

jail and serve the terms imposed upon

any effort to secure habeas corpus or
an appeal. This action was taken
directly against the advice of Their

as his reason for this sudden change Of
front that he and the ether directors
have no confidence in the courts and
believe they would not get fair show
