BURNED IN EFFIGY.
New Workers Show Their Displeasure
 Toward Astor

New York. August 4.-Surrounded by hooting, jeering crowd of several hundred persons, William Waldorf Astor was burn ed in effigy in Longacre square. Dr. w. F. Grove, an elderly physician who lives in his own handsome brown stone dwelling at 9 west Forty-eighth street, was the prime mover in the incident. He hired thirty men to assist him.
 At S:3O D. m., he carried big rocking chair from his house to a truck driven by Anthony Kemmer. With it he had an oil- soaked barrel. On the chair he placed lay figure garbed in a striped suit, black fedora hat, kid gloves, tight-fitting trousers and good shoes. Across the chest of the figure was a sign two by four feet with this legend "Astor the Traitor
 Dr. Grove planted the barrel on the as phalt, poured over it two quarts of oil and applied match. The flames cracked and licked up the lay figure.

CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE.
Kentucky Democrats Who Will Con-
 duct Campaign for Goebel.

Frankfort, Ky, August 1.-The demo- cratic state committee through Chairman Young. tonight announced the twenty-five names of it's campaign committee to con- duct the canvass for William Goebel for governor and the rest of the ticket nomi- hated at Louisville and members of the leg islature that will select a successor to Senator Lindsay.
 This committee is composed Of ex-Sena- ter Joe Blackburn chairman; ex-Congress- men J. D. Clardy and J, B. McCreery from the state-at-large, and all the demo- cratic congressman from their respective districts and other leading democrats from the eleven districts in the state. owing 10 the prospective ticket, headed by ex-Gov- ernor John Young Brown, the campaign in Kentucky this year will be hotly contested.
 The call says in part There is no organ ized effort being made in this state to send to the next national convention delegation hostile to almost every principle laid down in the Chicago platform. The ayowed pur- pose is to create dissension in the ranks of the party and bring about such condition of affairs as will result in the defeat of the democratic candidate at the next pres idential election.
 It behooves all democrats to be on guard and save the party from possible defeat.

TROUBLE FEARED.
Non-Arrival of Samoan Commission
 Causes Uneasiness.

Washington, August 1.-The non-arrival of the Samoan commission is beginning to attract comment in official circles, as it Is thought some new complication may have arisen in Samoa to keep the commission there.
 The last report was that the party would leave Apia on July IS and if this had been carried out the commission would have been due in San Francisco before the present time As the bulk of the natives were dis armed there is little prospect that they could cause serious disorder, yet in case of renewed trouble between the factions it is believed the commission would wait until 7 quiet had been restored.
 The state department is still in ignorance of the manner in which Consul Osborne came to be made acting chief justice in view of the vigorous complaint by Herr Solf, the president of the municipal council, that he was entitled to the succession. A long report on the proceedings of the Sa- moan commission has been sumbitted by MT TriPp, the United States commissioner and president of the commission but com ing by mail it is of date a month back and does not bring the history of the events down to the breach between Chief Justice Chambers and the commission.

ises to pay where the debtors waive tlae benefit of the homestead and exemption au- thorlzed by the law of the state and the private credit secured thereby. A number of bankrupts who had executed such debEs with waiver of homestead, cansed their ex- emptions to be set apart in bankruptcy and sought their discharges, whereupon counsel for the creditors filed plenary pro- ceedings in the nature of bills in equity seeking to stay the discharges until the creditors holding waiver notes could put their claims in judgment either in the state court or the United States court. This be- ing the method by which the stipulation or waiver could be made effective as lien binding upon the bankrupter's exemption. These bills were demurred to upon the ground that the United States court did not have jurisdiction to determine claims against the bankrupts exemption.
 The case was heard in the demurrer Judge Speer, differing from Judge Newman of the northern district of Georgia, held that the United States court had jurisdic- ton to enforce by suitable decrees the waiver notes against the exemption set apart to be bankrupt. He stayed the dis charges until creditors of this class could have their claims definitely settled and d. rectcd in the cases before the court that decrees be entered making the exemptions liable for the debts due on the notes walV- ing homestead and exemption. Otherwise the discharge in bankruptcy would have barred proceedings on all claims of this class, and where they had not previously been reduced to judgments in the state courts would have defeated the rights Of creditors inuring the constitution of the state which makes a debt containing waiver of homestead binding upon the prop erty exempted thereby.

NOTES OF THE
 LABOR WORLD Executive Committee of United
 Mine Workers MEET HERE TODAY Among Questions Coming Up Will Be Strike at Henry Ellen-President Young Charges ackson With
 Misrepresenting Facts
MEET HERE TODAY

The executive committee of the Alabama division, United Mine Workers of America, will meet in this city today to discuss sev- eral matters of great importance to the or- ganization. Among the questions coming up will be the strike at Brookwood, on account of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company's failure to sign the scale adopted in the June convention, the strike at Henry Ellen, and the matter of further organiza- ton of the United Mine Workers in Walker county. There are other matters to be dis- cussed of course, but they have not yet been made public.
 ''I saw an interview of MT. Fred Jack sons the other day." said President Young of the United Mine Workers yesterday, fin which he makes some gross misstate- ments; that is, provided he was quoted cor rectly. The paper had him as saying that the miners at Brookwood were demanding in their scale fifteen cents a ton more than was being paid at Pratt
 Such is not the case at all. There are two seams of coal at Brookwood, one of them about three feet thick, and in these mines our people are demanding fifty-five cents a ton; the same as is paid at Pratt. The other is not nearly so thick, being In some places only fourteen inches, and In these mines we are demanding 6214 cents q ton, which is 7ik cents more than is paid at Pratt.
 "I make this statement simply because I don't want the Brookwood miners to be put in the light of making exorbitant de- mands."

Another Bloody Battle Is Expected in
 Kentucky.

London, Ky, August IA force of about fifteen mounted men armed with Winches- ters and Colt revolvers and a supply of am- intuition, passed between here and Pitts burg last night, going in the direction of Clay county.
 They were met by the Griffin faction, and 1t is supposed that they joined those who have gone into Manchester to attend the examining trial of Green Griffin which is set for today. Green is to be tried for the killing of Edward Fischer in the big battle two weeks ago in Clay county. There is no telling whether trouble will occur or not.
 "Let them fight it out" is the advice that comes up from all over the state when men high in official life are asked what ought the governor to do in regard to these Clay county feuds.

HIGH BRED CATTLE
Are Not Wanted in Cuba Only Handy
 Scrubs.

Washington, August 4.-There is another hitch in the issue of the order for the ad- mission of fifty thousand head of cattle to Cuba duty free, as decided upon by the cabinet some weeks ago. The order re- gently was broadened so as to include high bred cattle from any country, but it is now being urged that high bred cattle are en- tirely out of place in Cupa, as the condi- tions there require a small, hardy animal, such as comprise the stock of Mexico and Honduras.
 MT. Quesada and MT. Rubens were in consuta ton with Acting Secretary Meike- john for some time today, discussing the details of this question. There was also some talk about incurrng. a reduction on some class of agricultural implements in the interest or Cuban farmers, but nothing definite was determined.

 You know, Julia, that marriage is a pretty serious thing'
 "Yes'm." replied Julia. "but not gittin' married is more seriouser thing some times, don't you think? Anyhow, it'll be as serious for him as it is for me if we don't git along all right.
