DISTRESS AT DAWSON.

United States Consul Appeals to
Government For Aid.
Washington, March 9.-The United
States consul at Dawson Mr.. j. c. Nc
Cook, under date of Jan. 81, informs the
department of state concerning the con-
dition of the people there, as follows:
The situation there as to persons who
will be out of food in a couple of
months, is becoming very serious. Many
hundreds will be SO situated and will
have to be helped out when navigation
opens. Many have gone out over the
ice and are going out daily, while more
are remaining in the hope that they will
be able to strike some pay on claims
they either own themselves or are
working on lease from others.
Applicants are daily at this office
for relief. The INDECENT sick so far have
been taken care of by the relief COM
mittee and by the local authorities. the
latter seing the necessity of taking a
hand in relief work.
'The destitute sick, while many Of
them are not pauperS in the strict
sence of the word, being temporarily
without funds. are compelled to call on
the relief committee, and viii finally
pay when they hear from the outside
with remittances.
THE relief committee at this place is
unable to extend any more aid, as all
funds contained have been exhausted
and they are some $1,000 in debt
The greatest evil, however, will be
the large number of people who have
exhausted their supplies and who will
fail to succeed in getting pay from the
claims.
Il know it is not customary for any
nation to provide for destitute citizens
out of their country, still I feel it is my
duty to put this matter before you to
take whatever action you may deem
best -

OF his mothers illness.
The New York sub-treasury will
draw today on the clearing house for
half of the S12O00,00O due the govern

The railroad men of the general Of
ices IN Butte have organized railroad
club that holds weekly meetings of q
business and social nature There is
no permanent organization Officers
are elected at each meeting and go out
OF Office with every adjournment.
The evolution of the motive power of
the Rio Grande is an interesting study,
says the Rocky Mountain Guide. The
first locomotive weighed twelve tons
less than weighs the empty tank of one
OF the mountain moguls that scream
along that line today. The mail cars
had four wheels, and when one of them
got off the rail, the mail agent got off
and then the trainmen put their backs
to the car and lacked it up on the rails
again. The first coal cars had four
wheels, dump in the bottom, and held
about as much as an ordinary farm
wagon.

MRS. BAKER ALLOWED 10 GO
SHE rs RELEASED UPON HER
OWN RECoGNIzANCE.
Luke Will Have a Hearing This
Morning-Thomas Hurley Pleads
Not Guilty-Davis and Pratt.

When the case against Mrs. Jane NJ.
Baker, charged with completely in pro-
curing an abortion on Mrs Emma Ba-
ker Christensen, was called by Justice
Pardee yesterday morning, Assistant
County Attorney Gunter made motion
that the matter be continued indefinite
~. w. R. Hutchisnon, counsel for
Mrs. Baker, expressed his agreeable
ness to the motion, which was granted
by the court. NJ. B. Sowles and A. j.
Worse, securities on Mrs. Bakers bond
of 81, 900, were released and the woman
was allowed to go on her own recog-
nizance. When asked ii this is to be
the final disposal of the charge against
Mrs. Baker, Mr.. Gunter said it did not
mean that at all. 1t is understood
however, that Mrs. Baker will appear
today as a witness against James A
Luke, a fact which naturally may be
expected to be advantageous to her.
Mr.. Luke will have a hearing at 10
a. M. today, and a number of witnesses
viii be called upon to testify. 1t was
rumored yesterday that an important
witness had been secured, in the person
of Heber w. Hartley, manager of the
Utah Collection agency, but Mr.. Hart
ley, when seen last evening, expressed
himself as knowing really nothing
about the case. Last Thursday or FRI
day morning, about the time suspicion
of criminal operation on Mrs. Chris
Jensen began to spread, he saw Luke
go up the stairway leading to DIR. Hen
sePs Office but did not know that he
went to see the doctor. This, he said,
he had mentioned and must have
caused him to be subpoenaed as wit
ness. The following witnesses will tes-
tify in the Luke case: DIR. Anderson,
DR.. Maclean, Mrs. Emma Stewart, Mrs
Harriet Miner Mrs. Iona Altman, G.
w. Altman, Melva. Larsen, DR.. j. F.
Hensel. Mrs. E. C. Chilvers, Albert
Warren, Mrs. S. j. Reeves, Henry Ba-
ker, Heber w. Hartley.

have committed forgery by converting
Cancelled contracts into promissory
notes in collecting for the Merchants
Encyclopedia of Reference" will have
a hearing in police court Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock. Shuman is rep
resented by Attorney T. K. Kase of
San Francisco. Two more complaints,
charging forgery, were filed yesterday,
the complainants being Elias Morris &
Sons and the Intermountain Electric
company. The two complaints previ-
ously filed were brought by Joseph e.
Taylor and the State Bank of Utah.
Mr.. Kase, in behalf of Shuman, adj
dressed Judge Timmony yesterday in
reference to having the case set. He
stated that Mr.. Gunter, for the prose-
cution, had made a remark on the
street that he would refuse to recog-
nize the right of Kase to appear in
court in behalf of Shuman. Mr.. Kase
said he had, therefore gone to the dis
trict court and had been admitted to
practice, on motion of John NJ. Zane,
who accompanied him to police court.
Mr.. Gunter denied Kase's statement
that he would not recognize his right
to appear in court. Gunter stated that
what he had said was that he would
refuse to recognize the right of Mr..
Kase in reference to certain arrange
ment with Dennis Eichnor, who pre-
viouSly appeared as counsel for Shu-
man. Mr.. Gunter said that anyone
could practice in the city Justices court. 4

CORRUPTION IN OKLAHOMA.
Territorial Officials Accused
Squandering Public Money.


Squandering Public Money.
Guthrie, o. T., March 9.-The special
committee which has been conducting
a legislative investigation of territorial
affairs made its report to the senate
today. The committee finds much to
cr1ticise in the management of the
principal Offices of the territory, but
makes no charges Of gross fraud.
The committee reports that the
funds arising from the leasing of school
lands had been deposited by the gov
ernor to suit his convenience, but that
every effort to determine whether the
funds so deposited had failed, the
bankers refusing to tell.
The management of the territorial Ii
brary was condemned and the charge
made that Librarian DOdson did not
attend to the duties of the office. but
hired a girl at a much less salary than
he receives.
The public printing contracts were
denounced as gross steals, given at
outrageously high prices" During the
years 1897 and 1898, $4,000 was paid
for state printing.
Several territorial officials are
charged with having drawn money to
which they We're not entitled, though
perhaps not in violation of the law.
Attorney General Cunningham is ac-
cused of having studied to find flaws
in the laws so that fragrant misuse
of public moneys could be excused"
The committee recommended the for
warding of the findings to President
Mckinley.

pany failed to provide them with proper
food and sleeping quarters, and also
failed to provide White with good
paints but, on the contrary, furnished
paint not properly mixed and of a poi
sOnouS nature, in consequence of which
White was taken sick and was not
cared for or attended to on account of
the poor accommodations provided by
the company. The result was that
White died and the plaintiffs, his father
and mother, sued to recover $4,000 dam
ages The trial was proceeding when

Omaha, March 9.-There appears to
be little if any prospect that the pas
senger representatives of western roads
viii get together on a rate to the Ma
tional Educational association. The
Southern Pacific representatives re-
fused to yield on the demand for extra
compensation for its proportion of the

be that the Educational association
must change its place of meeting if it
wants any special rates.

LIGHT ON LABOR CONDITIONS
PENNSYLVANIA FACTORY IN
SPECToRS VIEWS.
Thinks Wages Are Maintained By
Labor Organizations and Protec-
tive Tariff-Sweatshop Filth.

Washington, March 9.-Mr. James
Campbell, factory inspector of Pennsyl-
vania. was before the Industrial COM
mission today. He spoke eulogistically
of the labor organization of the glass
workers of his state. saying that before
organization was made practicable ne
had never known an instance of manu-
facturer5 attempting to reduce wages
which had not been successful. Since
organization had been effected, no re-
duction had been made without the as
sent Of the workers. He declared that
there was now mutual confidence be-
tween employer and operative.
Mr.. Campbell was a strong advocate
of a protective tariff. saying that it was
generally understood by the workmen
that a change in the tariff means a
change in the scale of wages. He said
that wages of glasSWorkerS had never
been better in the history of the coun-
try than at present, taking into con-
sideration the purchasing power of
money. This improved condition, he
thought, was due to the protective
tariff and to the organization of labor.
There had never been a period of
greater depression, he added, than I'M
der the operation of the Wilson law.
Mr.. Campbell spoke of the miners as
a class of men who were generally i'm
posed upon, and he found especial fault
with the store system generally in
vogue about the mines. Under this sys-
tenn the mine-ownerS generally owned
the stores, and the operatives dealing
with them were required 10 pay from %
to 40 per cent profit. He did not believe
the evil could be reached by legislation,
but thought it could be met by organ
lied labor
