The day of our rejoicing Is at hand.
Butte is redeemed.
The citizens Of this city have set a
hot foot down ON the disgraced head Of
the A. p. A. machine and crushed 1t
into the mire. The city of Butte has
declared by an overwhelming voice that
no secret society shall run the politics
of this town. that no secret society
shall dictate who are To be the city's
iiremen, who shall be the policemen,
who shall receive the contracts which
are to be let. The city Of Butte has
set the seal of it's disapproval on the
ring which has stirred up religious and
race animosity in this community in
order that through the hatred stirred
up they might hold the offices.
The A. =. A. fight is over-over for
ever in this community, may IL fervent-

inquire into one anothers religion and
one another's nationality when such
questions had never been asked before.
IL has injured every business interest

thing They killed themselves in a

and deceit might for a time allow fan
atheism and bigotry To flourish. but
where American principles are sure TO

downfall. American citizens will not

not long endure the Using of the money
Of the taxpayers In the interest of the
numbers OF secret society. They
would not long tolerate the supremacy
of a society which proscribes all citi-
zens who may not pray al the same
church with them. Republicans were
outraged at the fa1atical ring which
completely controlled their party ma

who belonged To the secret order. These

UINTAH ROBBER HELD.
EVIDENCE IN THE CASE AT SAN
FRANCISCO YESTERDAY.
Reiteration of the Story Told by the
Engineer and Fireman on the
Night the Train Was Held Up.

Sacramento. Cal, April 16.-In the
trial of Joseph True. accused of train
robbery in Utah, but few witnesses
We're examined by the prosecution. One
OF these was the engineer of the train
which True is accused of having held
up at Uintah, Utah. on October IA last.
The engineer, Daniel Rowland, said
that just before he whistled for DEVILS
Gate he heard sound as of falling
coal. He turned and saw a man with
his head hidden by a sack holding a
revolver in his hand. The man drew
white sack from his pocket and made
the fireman cover his head with it. He
then compelled the witness to slow
down and later to stop, after which he
compelled him to walk to the mail car
with him, and stand by while he blew it
open.
Fireman Mcfarland, who was on the
engine the night of the robbery, told a
similar story. He identified the pris-
oner as the robber, claiming that he
recognized him as a man he had known
before by his voice, size and actions.
True made no defense and was held
in bonds OF $4,000 to appear before the
United States district court. Today he
was turned over to the United States
marshal at San Francisco, and is now
confined in Alameda county Jail.

Boston Wool Report.

New York. April 16.-The Boston
Commercial Bulletin will say tomorrow
of the wool market:
The receipts of foreign wool from
Rosario, Buenos Ayres, Liverpool. Lon
don and the Cape of Good Hope have
been enormous. Probably no week has
ever seem such large receipts OF for
eign wool. Much of this wool was ap-
proved Immediately on arrival, swelling
the sales apparently 10 large proper
tons
Really there has been little new bust
ness done this week. The sales of do
nestle wool are particularly small.
Stocks OK domestic are, however. linn
tied and all prices are firmly held. At
the price now being paid in the terri
tories and California new elm western
me woods cost landed here without a
profit, IS to 10 cents. This IS very
small quotation of wool now in hand
The sales Of the week were l,l95. 600
pounds domestic and $4,000 pounds for
cign. against 5000. coo domestic and p
$50. 600 foreign last week. and 1923. 600
domestic and 1.619000 foreign for the
same week last year.
The sales % date show an increase
Of IS. S25.S00 pounds domestic and &c.
$50. 100 pounds foreign from the sales
TO the same date in 1886
The receipts to date show an increase
of 16. 1S9 bales domestic and 109075 bales
foreign.

About this time Allen came stagger-

coming in on the road leading from
the village to Brownville. when Crouch
leaped from the roadside and began
firing. All three were hit. The horse
became frightened and ran 10 the liv-

ground. The other was lying on her
side. The clothing Of both was badly
torn The dress of one was burned

range. In the rig was a revolver with
four loaded cartridges and two empty
chambers. 1t is the property of Allen.
According to Aliens story he was
thrown out of the buggy near Iron

the water. but soon extricated himself.

aged TO crawl to quarters, but on his
arrival was unable to speak. He was

in his pocket. but no blood stains were

increased purchases for export. and has
risen 4.31 cents since last Friday. .Ex-
ports for the week are very small, and
/ for two weeks but little greater than
last year, while corn exports continue
over three times last years. and for
two weeks 6,32l, $50 against 1858. 1913 last
year, the price advancing less than l
cent. Western receipts of wheat are
/ larger for the week and for the two
weeks as large as last year, and the

able larger yield than that Of 1896,
which has sufficed TO meet an eXtraor-
binary demand. Cottons had scarcely
changed during the week of anp-ece-
dented floods, though this years crop
will be materially diminished unless the
water soon Sdbsides. But there are
numerous indications that in other
parts Of the south a large acreage is
; being planted. The output of pig iron
increases, though 10 furnaces stopped
in March and others with larger ca
paeity started, and the weekly prnduc-
ton April l was 1929 tons against
169. 1856 last year.
While 20 per cent below the greatest
ever known, the output is - per cent

The meetings have also been attended
by many prominent woolgrowers. The
proposed amendments are directed
mainly. to closing the many loopholes
for evasions and fraud which wool
men agree abound in the Dingley law,
and were also found in the Mckinley
law.
An amendment was agreed upon pro-
viding that an additional duty of 4
cents per pound should be levied upon
skirted woods as imported in
1880 and prior TO that time. The prIn-
cipal change. however. to be proposed
is upon wool and cameIs hair of the
third class. The Dingley bill proposes
an ad valorem duty of 80 and SO cents
respectively upon woods of this class.
valued under and over Is cents per
pound 1t is proposed now to strike
out the Dingley bill clauses related to
third class woods and to insert instead
the following:
"On woods of the third class and
camel's hair of the third class the
value of which shall be cents or less
per pound. on the wool markets of the
United States. the duty shall be ) cents
per pound. and on all the woods and
hair of this class, the value of which
shall exceed s cents per pound in the
general markets of the United States,
there shall be an additional duty of Z
of ! cent per pound for each increase of
cent per pound in the value thereof"
1t is claimed for this latter amend
ment. which is the most important of
all the amendments proposed, that it
will largely prevent the frauds which
it is alleged were perpetrated on the
ad valorem duties under the Mckinley
law, by reason of which. it is asserted.
hundreds of millions of pounds of wool
used in the manufacture of clothing.
which properly belonged in the first
class. were imported at third class
