Forty Dollars Melted for ScofeId
Fund
A concert for the benefit of the SEQ
field sufferers was given in the Third
ward meeting house last evening under
the auspices of the Mutual Improve
ment society of the ward. The house
was prettily decorated with palms and
potted plants, kindly furnished for the
occasion by C. Cramer, and an inter
egting programme Of music and recita-
tiOnS was rendered by a number of the
musicians and elOcutiCEists of the ward.
The first number on the programme
was a vocal duet by Miss May Smith
and Miss Jennie Irwin. The words of
the song, of which a copy is given be-
low, were especially composed for the
occasion and dedicated to the ScOfield
sufferers by Mrs. Georgia F'oote.
We ask the dear Lord.
To comfort the minds
OF the many heart-breaking ones
Who were called on to part
With the dear ones of earth:
Their fathers, their brothers and sons.
Oh teach them, we pray,
in the right path to stay,
And feel that their God knows best:
And If they live right
And pure in his sight.
He'll unite them on high some day.
Oh. Father on high
We now pray to thee.
That thy guardian angels
VIII watch them by night
And guard them by day,
That some day their faces they'll see.
The next number was a recitation by
Miss Agnes Stirling, entitled The
Wounded Soldier"

Looted a Residence In Franklin
Street.


a daring burglary was committed
last evening, when thieves looted the
residence Of A. J. Coleman. 66 Frank
lin avenue, and secured about $3.50
worth Of booty. The burglars made a
clean sweep of all the vaiuables in the
Coleman residence. and left no clue
behind. Entrance was obtained to the
hous5 by breaking the lock on the side
door, but so quiet was the work Of
the crooks that none Of the neighb0rs
heard or saw them arrive or depart.
A. the time the robbery took place,
Coleman. who is a col0red waiter at
the KnutsfOrd hotel, was on duty and
his wife was also absent from the
house Mrs. Coleman left her residence
about 7.30 p. m, after securely lock-
ing the doors.
When Coleman returned from the
KnutsfoTd about 9 o'clock he found
the side door open and the house ran
sacked Two trunks containing SEQ in
money and clothes valued at 500 were
broken open and their contents miss
ing. The clothing consisted of two
dress suits two ordinary suits and all
Of Mrs. COleman's clothes.
A silver tuba horn valued at SIS was
missing, and the bureau drawers and
closets were stripped Of their valu-
ables. The thieves were in a hurry
and scattered less valuable contents Of
the trunks and bureau drawers around
the room until the interior of the house
looked like a cyclone had struck it,
Even the mattresses on the beds
wers ripped open by the thieves in
their hurried search for plumber
The police state that such a. clever
piece of work could only have been
done by expert crooks. The job was
evidently well planned, and the police
are inclined to the belief that persons
in the neighbOrhood who were ac-
quainted with the premises committed
the deed

CAUSE AND RESPONSIBILITY.
Mr.. Dilley Says Company Could Not
be Blamed


be Blamed
J. W. Dilley. who fills the Office of
town clerk and holds other important
positions at Scofeld, was in the city
yesterday, on his way home from Coal
vile. having had charge Of the eleven
bodies that were shipped to that place.
1t was Mr.. Dnley's official duty to issue
all Of the death certificates and burial
permits in connection with the disaster.
Two Of his brothers-in-law were killed
by the explosion.
In speaking Of the discrepancies be-
tween the comDany's report and other
reports on the number killed, Mr. Dill
ley stated his belief that they might be
due to the fact that there were a num-
Der of boys and helpers in the mine of
whom the company had no record. He
was quite certain that there was no de-
sire on the part of the company to con-
Ceal any facts in connection with the
disaster.
In regard to the cause of the ex2lo-
sion and the responsibility, Mr.. Dilley
had no doubt but the explosion was
due to dust. and while it might be true
that had the dust been kept down by
sDrinkling- still no blame could attach
to the company for not keeping it
down, because no one connected with
the company nor any of the miners
ever imagined that the dust in this
mine was explosive or at all dangerous.
The miners themselves regarded it as
entirely safe
W. A. Holman Of this city, who has
spent several days ct Scofeld since the
disaster, also gave it as his opinion
that the company was free from blame.
He thought the responsibility rested
with the state in not providing more
stringent regulations. MI Holman
stated that no pen could describe the
scenes Of distress that he witnessed at
the coal camp.

is PART OF UNITED STATES
DECISION OF FEDERAL JUDGE
REGARDING PORTO RICO.
Constitution Extends Over the Island
Giving Congress the Authority to
Legislate.

St Paul, Mimi. May Judge Lochren
today filed in the United States circuit
court his decision on the application OF
Rafael Ortiz, Porto RiCan, to be re-
/ leased from Minnesota state prison. Ortiz
was convicted by military tribunal in
Porto Rico FOR the murder OF a United
states soldier and condemned to die. The
sentence was committed TO life hnpriSon-
The applica ton for release was based
on the claim that the military authorities
had no jurisdiction over Ortiz; that peace
had been declared and that he should
nave had civil trial.
Judge LOchren refused the applica ton
IN an oral decision Thursday last and
today filed an exhaustive opinion thereon
The decision has evoked great interest
throughout the country, as 1t rears large
ly on constitutional questions which have
arisen on the question of Porto Rico as
a territory of the United States. Numer-
Gus decisions are cited in support Of his
opinion, and he continues:
1T must be held that upon the ceSsion
D{ spain to the United States of the
Island of Porto Rico that island became
part of the dominion of the United
States, as much as is Arizona ,or Mime
sofa, and that the constitution of the
United States eX prOpria Vig0re at once
extended over the island; and that this
extension OF the constitution gave con-
greSS, whose every power must come from
thaJ instrument, the authority, to legiS-
late In respect to that island as a part
Of the United States territory.
1t follows that all the provisions of
the constitution in respect 20 personal
and property rights. incl ding the right to
trial by jury i'm criminal prosecution, be
came at once, when the ceSsiOn was COM
pieted, q part OF the supreme law of the
land. The character of an offense and
the nature of its punishment would be
determined by the law in force where
and when the act was committed, and
laws OF that character remain in force
after the eeSSiOn until changed; but the
manner of trial must depend on the law
IN force when the trial Is had. even
though the establishment and organization
of courts must be awaited before the
trial can be had
The decision states that military law
being the sole authority, the acts of a
military court were entirely legal and
the petition for a writ of habeas corpus
was denied.

WITHDRAWAL OF SELIGMAN[
RESIGN FROM THE STEEL AM

Give as Their Reason the Refusal O.
President Gates to Retire from tn
Company.

New York May AT todays meeting
of the board of directors of the American
Steel & Wire company Henry w Selig-
man and Frederick W. Straus resigned
from the board. Subsequently the fol-
lowing was made public:
ITO the Board of Directors of the Amerii
can Steel & Wire Company:
"Gentlemen-We have today resigned
from the directory of the American Stee
& Wire company because Mr.. John ".
Gates did not, at tOday'S meeting retire
from the management of the company as
we had been given to understand that h
would Our reasons for continuing tc act
as directors until now may perhaps de-
serve further explanation.
On the morning of the April meeting OF
the board We received assurances from
sources on which we thought ourselves
entitled TO rely that the resignation OF
Mr.. Gates as chairman would be offered
about May J. While 1t is true that by con-
tiDuing in the board we exposed ourselves
TO, possible miSCOnStructiOn, we risked this
in the belief that by delay we should ac-
compiish that which every one must
recognize as demanded by the best in
tereSts Of the company. namely. Mr..
Gates retirement from the management
and we realized that under the bylaws OF
the company to force Mr.. Gates retire
ment was practically impossible and that
these assurances promised more Su5stan-
tial results than the contemplated attempt
to force his immediate resignat ton.
Mr. Gates. however. continues to con-
troll the company, and under these cir
CUmstanCes it becomes impossible for US
longer to continue in the directory, and in
order that the stockholders of the com
pany may fully understand both our reas-
Ons for continuing in the board and for
resigning from il, we shall give such pub
licity to this letter as we may think
proper. Yours truly,
