Representatives. l..v. and Taubeneck
Make Some Estim ties.
. WASHINGTON, May 24.-Representa-
tives DAVIS Of Kansas and Taubeneck
of Illinois have been making careful
estimate Of the different bands of Cox
eyites on the way to Washington, and
they claim that there are 5000 men
tramping or riding on boats or bor-
rowed trains towards the capital. Mr..
Davis does not lelieve in the wisdom or
efficacy of the Coxey movement, and
has written a magazine article in which
he points out that the movement is a re-
suit OF currency contraction and sum-
marizes it as "organized want.'' If
the government should yield to Coxey's
demands, other armies would march on
the capital with other demands, and
the result would be government by the
multitude. The remedy for the present
state of business he finds in the ballot,
which he defines as "recorded opin-
ion."
mo Coxeyites have come from Kan
sas," he said in a conversation on the
subject "because Kansas has expressed
herself properly by her elections, and
Nebraska, which is largely a Populist
state, has contributed not more than rs
men to the movement"
BY imprisoning the commonweal
leaders, he says, the authorities have
made swan out of goose The chief
danger from the movement, he thinks,
will develop next fall when the
weather becomes too cold for men to
camp out doors. Then he looks for

The Minnesota Congressman Would Ar
bit-ate Strikes.
WAsHMGToN,. May Congressman
Tawney has legun the preparation Of
a bill which is regarded by persons to
whom it was submitted as an effectu al
preventive for great strikes. It was
suggested by recent developments in the
Northwest growing out of the trouble
on the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific roads. Mr.. Tawney intends
that the operation of the law shall be
through the United States courts, al
though arbitrators selected by the in
terested parties, together with those Sc
lected by the court, perform the func-
ton Of jurors.
The method is very simple and the
operation of the law will be inexpensive.
In case Of interruption or threatened in
terruption of interstate railroad bust
ness through a strike either party to the
controversy may apply to the United
States district court to have the other
party show cause why. the court should
not appoint an arbitration board. II
. the matter is not considered very i'm
portant the court may, by the consent
of both parties, decide the case in con-
trcversy. But should either party ob-
ject to this board of five arbitrator is
to be appointed, one by each party in
interest and three by the court. II
either of the persons named by the
court is Objectionable to either party he
shall have the right to challenge him,
and if the reasons for the objections are
considered sound Ivy the court another
shall be named.

GRAHAM GETS LEFT.
How the Horse Owner Came Out in
a Cruelty to Animals Case.

Sam Graham, the liveryman, is
wondering where she is at" This
is in connection with the punish
ment by the Circuit Court of two
native boys for driving horse to
death. The offenders were fined
$50 each. Graham loses a 5000
horse and grinds his teeth and
smiles in a sickly way when his
funny friends ask him "where he
gets off" in the transaction.
After the case left the District
Court, Graham was approached by
friends of the boys and offered a
compromise. They were willing
to pay all costs, including the value
of the horse, if the prosecution was
dropped. Mr.. Graham desired
reparation for his loss of property,
and laid the matter before the
authorities. At first it was thought
the compromise could be managed.
Later it was decided to push the
case. Graham could only grin and
bear it. Instead of being sent to
the reef, the boys are fined $50
each. The Government gets 1920
and Graham loses 5000.
