Lake City-Armed Italian strikers
prevented other miners from taking

A strike was declared on account Of an
order requiring all miners without fami-

The armory was broken open last
night and all the arms and ammunition
were stolen, presumably by the strikers

TERRIBLE RIDE.
Fifty Miles on the Trucks With a
Crushed Foot

Omaha, Neb.. July 25.-From Nc
Cook to Benkelman, a distance of fifty
miles, George Morgan of South Omaha,
rode on the trucks of a fast freight.
after his foot was cut off by a car
wheel.
This is the story of the remarkable
nerve a young man exhibited on the
Burlington road in the western part of
Nebraska. Morgan was beating his
way to Omaha In the yards a t Nc
Cook he crawled under a freight car
of an east-bound train and waited for
his trip to begin. A sudden move of
the cars while he rested his feet on the
ground caught his ankle under the
wheel and slowly crushed his foot from
his leg. There was time for him to
escape from his awful position. and
quick as thought, he dragged his leg
toward him, catching his foot in his
hand. There were no stops between
McCoOk and Benkelman. Half fainting
with the sharp pain and loss Of blood,
and in the face of sure death if he
1oOsed his hold on his leg or the trucks,
the plucky man held on with desperate
grit until he reached his destination.
MOrgan's leg was treated at Benkel-
man, and he was in a state of delirious
frenzy for hours. The doctors say his
condition is critical

SUCKING CUBA DRY.
Charges Against the United States by
Cuban War Veterans.

Havana. July 25.-A recent meeting of
veterans of the Cuban war of indepen-
dence is causing considerable comment
Mayia Rodriguez presided at the meet
ing at which the Organization declared
itself to be the only legal representa-
tive of the Cuban revolution. A resO-
luton was adopted demanding that the
United States make formal declaration
of it's intentions and supposed rights
based upon the resolution passed by
congress in April, 1898. The Cuban
census commissioners recently appoint
ed were criticised, speakers saying that
they were mere nOnentitieS and I'M
known men. in whose work the public
would have no confidence and that a
census so taken would be unacceptable
the United States was fast sucking
Cuba dry.
Havana, July 25.-Gualberto Gomez
said if President Mckinley would not
consider an appeal favOrably the Gu
bans knew what steps to take to rid the
island of the heel of foreign imposi-
ton.
Messrs. Collazo, Gua1berto Gomez,
CisnerOs and Andrade were appointed a
committee to present memorial to the
authorities at Washington. This COM
mittee is composed of men antagOnistic
to everything done by the Americans
here and who never fail to utter and
print inflammatOry remarks whenever
the opportunity offers regarding Gu
bans holding office under the United
States, alleging that these office holders
do not represent anybody but a few
fire who have been now ap-
pointed to represent the Cuban vet
Grams.
The action of the meeting of Cuban
veterans is regarded as affOrding con-
ffrmation of the belief that manifestos
recently issued had behind them the
support of a number of former Cuban
officers

who turns against his friends. A snitch
is always a fellow who stands in with
the gang of toughs. When he finds out
some crime has been committed he finds
out about it and secretly gives his infor-
nation over to the police. The police
protect him and also pay him small
sums.
That's the only way the police ever
work up anything after all This talk
about detective work is all bOsh- The
way the officers get onto things is by
having a stand in with some one. Now
take it among the petty thieves We have
here. When anything is stolen the oft1c-
ers have about only one way of getting
a clue and that is to have some one who
is in with the gang tell them about it.
There is no detective work in it. The
fellow that tells what he knows is paid
for it by the job one way or another.
Some are given money and some are
dealt with easy when they go against
the law Now that fellow that 1 spoke
of. He goes around the dives just like
anybody else and stands in with the
tOughs. You never see him at the pO-
lice station but just the same when he
finds out anything he is sure to let the
officers know all about it.

PADRONE SYSTEM
Gets an Airing Before the Industrial
Commission.

New York, July 25.-The hearing of
the subcommittee of the United States
Industrial commission which is inquIr-
ing into the working of the immigration
laws at this port was resumed today.
The examination Of Assistant Commits
sioner OF Emigration Edward F. Nc
Sweeney was resumed.
Chairman Ellison A Smyth questioned
the witness regarding the existence of
the padrone system in this country.
If by the padrOne system" said Mr..
insolvency lis meant that immigrants
are controlled by certain bankers after,
they come here; that the cOmmisSaria
Is regulated by these men; that the
money OF the enigrant is sent back to
Italy by these bankerS-if that is what
we consider the padrone system it still
exists. The system reputed to have OBJ
tanned years ago whereby the bankers
induced these men to come here do
not think any longer exists because
there is no need for it. They now come
of their own accord. Before they come
they know that by going to a certain
banker they will find employment. My
impression is that the Italian emigrants
prefer to be under the control of the
padrone"
What other races besides the ItaI-
tans and orientals are held in industrial
bOndage?" asked the chairman.
There was species of labOr-sel1ing
prevalent in New York for a long time,
but believe it was suppressed under
There We're Austrian girls who were
taken into families and kept there at
nominal wages for years"
Mt insolvency said that while the
girls were not brought here for immoral
purposes, many of them became out
casts owing to their harsh treatment.
He said that many such girls were Iiv-
ing in New York, according to the po-
lice.
The assistant commissioner said that
during the Spanish American war the
Italian cabinet had issued a circular
saying that business here was suspend
ed and instructed the projects of police
to curtail as much as possible the grant
ing of passports to prospective emf
grants.
Mr.. insolvency was questioned at
length in regard to Mormon immigra-
ton. He said that probably IS per cent
of the new arrivals were women. They
all come over in charge of an elder.
They all claim to be Latter Day Saints
and declare with a great deal of force
that they intend to obey the laws of
the United States. Regarding the ex-
clusion of emigrants he said that of the
10 per cent of the new arrivals or 25, 900
persons examined by the special board
of inquiry 10 per cent were excluded.
Mr. McSweeney made a long state
ment regarding a complaint that He
brews were not properly classified. He
said the great thing was to classify the
emigrants industrially and that asking
their religion was means to that end.
