ILLEGAL VOTING.
Charge Prsfesrod Against Two Well

Charge Preferred Against Two Well
Known Bsuideritss.
ID. ]. Haviland and his wife Leta are
defendants to complaint sworn out be
fore Justice Adams. The complaining
witness is A. ]. Pierce, agent Of the
Boulder cooperative exchange. Illegal
voting is the serious charge preferred.
The facts are that Mr. and Mrs Havi.
land moved few days before the recent
election from precinct 81 to precinct 20
and tailed to have their registration
changed at the Office of the clerk and
recorder. Being assured by that official
that they would, probably, not be denied
the right of suffrage IN their own pre-
cinct. they repaired to the armory and
attempted to vote. Beng challenged,
they swore in their vote. That is to say,
they took an oath that they were then
residents of precinct 81 and had not
moved from the same. Mr. and Mrs
Haviland stood side by side as their oath
was administered in the presence of sew
eral citizens of the place. Wallace
Chambers, c. R. Larson. A. ]. Pierce and
other labor leaders witnessed the affair
and protested against what they claimed
to be MIR and Mrs Haviland's perjury.
The editor of the Camera witnessed the
affair and deplored it, expressing his
conviction at the time thai Mr. and Mrs
Haviland we're too angry to note the
significance of the oath they were taking
or were acting under wrong advice in
the premises.
Mr. Haviland is carpet man Tor the
Mcclure White Mercantile company
and enjoys an excellent reputation. His
wife is a prime Boulder tavorite, Boul.
der girl. possessed of pretty face and
a loveable personality. As Leta Wells
daughter of the superintendent of water
works, she has been known for her entire
life here and the prosecution IS regretted
because of her amiable character.
The matter will be heard by Justice
Adams May ID, unless Mr. Pierce and
the district attorney see fit to Withdraw
the charge. The result of the election
was in nowise effected by Mr. and Mrs
Havilands votes and technical vio-
laton of the law is. all that can be
charged against them.
The session laws Of 1885, page 437
section I. refer to the general statutes oi
1901, page II, section Q. which says that
any person convicted of illegal voting
shall be guilty of misdemeanor and sub
jec, to fine not exceeding 81, 900 or i'm
prisonment for one year in he county

THE LABOR QUESTION
Contractor Hovey Gives Strong Evi-
 dence Against the Unions

Chicago March 26.-The industrial sub commission today began hearing testimony in regard to the labor situation in Chica- go from the point of view of the work ingman and the labor leader. Few repre- sentatives of labor were present, however, and Commissioner Kennedy said that if labor leaders did not take enough interest in the work of the subcommittee to ap- pear, subpoenas probably would be issued for persons whom the members of the suo- commission believe are able to furnish de- sired information.
 Michael Hovey of Glencoe, a contractor, took the stand today. MT. Hovey said he withdrew from the union because of it's ar bitrary- and senseless methods. with its men, and because he believed unions to be the worst enemies workmen ever had. "A workman who becomes member of a union," said MT. Hovey, "endangers the existence of his own family, for through the restrictions of the unions, his own son is not allowed to learn the fathers trade
 Unions" said MT. Hovey, ''are made up of three classes of workmen; first. men who are always able to secure work at best wages; second, men who did occasional work; and third a nomadic class which through lack of ability, are forced to wan der from town to town, and for this reason many of them become tramps and thieves"
 Hovey, in speaking of the Trades Un- ion also said that they made more tramps and more inmates of penitentiaries than any other agency and said that Trades Unions was the father of all trusts.

 The charge against Captain Crossland was brought by his first lieutenant, J. M. Payer. During the street fair held here last November Captain Crossland criticised some order of Lieutenant Payer, who was in charge of the military parade, and Lieu tenant Payer replied in a manner offensive to Captain Crossland, and he very prompt ly knocked the lieutenant to the floor. The affair created quite a deal of excitement With the militia, and sympathy seems to have been with Payer. It is probable that the count will be ia session two or three days.
