and then they all ran away Mr.. Burns
stated that after the tragedy he did not
sleep at the Kenmore-the night of May Is
he did not sleep at ALL
why did you not sleep there?" demanded
Attorney Douglass
Il thought that Mrs. Bonine, knowing
that Jimmy Ayres and 1 were friends,
might suppose that he had told me enough
to convict her. and 1 didn't propose to take
any chances" explained Mr.. Burns.
you were afraid?" asked Attorney
Douglass.
II was replied the witness.
Mr.. Burns admitted that Mrs. Bonne had
nursed him through attack of illness
Mr.. Douglass inquired of the witness IT,
two or three days after the statement Of
Mrs Bonlne was published, he had made
the remark while in a saloon, IF you knew
what 1 know you would not blame me for
not sleeping at the Kenmore"
Mr.. Burns admitted that he had uttered
the remark, and also that, last June, he
had said that he never knew of any i'm
proper relations between Ayres and Mrs
Bonine.
At this point, it being 1890 o'clock, a re-
cess for forty-fve minutes was taken.
Denominated as a Trick.
When proceedings were resumed after re-
cess Mr.. Burns again took the stand At
torney Douglass inquired if the witness
had written to Duncan B. Hubbard in
Michigan, expressing the belief that Ayres
had taken the pistol found in his room from
the bottom of the old trunk and had placed
the extra cartridges carelessly on the table
United States Attorney Gould objected to
the question. Attorney Douglass explained
that the query was intended to contradict
the statement of the witness that he did
not know Ayres had pistol.
After lengthy argument on the part of
Attorney Douglass, Mr.: Gould withdrew the
time
Attorney Douglass renewed the question,
this time consulting paper writing he
held in his hand.
United States Attorney Gould suggested
that counsel should have asked the witness
If he wrote the letter and then offer it in
evidence.
I'VE don't propose to offer it in evidence, Is
explained Attorney Douglass.
'Oh," commented Mr.. Gould, 'then no
such trick should be allowed to be played
on the Witness"
Il desire to resent that" announced At
torney Douglass.
Il do not use the word trick In an in
vidious sense" added Mr.. Gould.
Mr.. Burns answered the question by say
ing the 26th Of May he had written a letter
saying that If Ayres had the pistol he prob
ably had taken it out of his old trunk In
the manner indicated.
In reply to additional queries. the witness

CONSTRUCTION OF WARSHIPs.
Labor Organizations Urge Building nj
Navy Yards.


There is a systematic and well-oreanized
movement among the various labor organi-
cations OF the country to obtain legislation
at the coming session of Congress which
will authorize the construction at govern
ment navy yards of some of the warships
authorized by Congress. The Secretary of
the Navy is being deluged with petitions in
that direction from all quarters He has
ALREADY received copies of resolutions adopt
ed by numerous labor organizations
These resolutions are practically ident1-
cal In phraseology. In their preamble they
recite that as mechanics and laborers in
government navy yards are no longer dis
criminated against by reason Of their po-
litical proclivities. thereby eliminating all
favoritism, there no longer exists any good
reason why the building of vessels Of war
should. not be prosecuted as economically
and as expeditously in the various navy
yards Of the country as the same can be
done by private contractors"
The resolutions also recite that I'VE feel
satisfied that the assignment of a portion
of this work to the navy yards would
enable large proportion of the toilers of
the country to participate in the benefits
of the eight-hour day without corresponding
loss to the government"
It was therefore resolved '.that senator's
and representatives In Congress be ear
nestly requested to assist in having In
serted In the next naval appropriation bill
authorizing the construction Of warsnius
provision that some Of the vessels pro-
vided for shall be constructed In the navy
yards OF the country"
Ma. George ]. Campbell. jr., secretary Of
the chamber Of commerce Of Vallejo. Cal.
is taking an active interest in working nm
the sentiment ofthe country to the end de-
sired. In recent circular distributed
broadcast he says that the question will
come up In the next Congress- Referring
to the navy yards at New York Norfolk
and Mare Island, he says they are well
equipped and prepared to build ships of any
class.
"By building some of the ships in lie
navy yards" says Mr.. Campbell, .sthe gov
ernment would be protected from the ship
strate what it would cost to build shins r.
has been said by the friends of Contractors
that ships cannot be built as cheaply in
navy yards as they can be built by con-
tractors
This is not true, for every other country
in the world builds at least so per cent OF
its ships in It's own navy yards We believe
that 1t Is now time that this government
should demonstrate to the country that
ships can be built as cheap in the navy
yard as by contract, and that the newt
Congress should order some built there
when ships are built in the navy wards
the money goes direct from the government
to the mechanic, and the laboring men
throughout the country are benefited The
administration Of the Post ONCE Depart
ment and of the United States nints ana
the manufacture of guns by the governmenf
| are standing examples that the government
can do its own work cheaper than contrac-
| tors can do IT,

but to wait and see if the theory of sui
eide would hold" testified Mr.. Gardiner
why did you so advise herr" asked At
torney Douglass.
Il object" interposed United States At
torney Gould
but also due the witness that he should ex-
plain why he gave such advice, said Attor-
ney Douglass.
We are not trying the Witness" COM
mented Mr.. Could dryly.
The objection is sustained" ruled the
court
I'VE note exception added Attorney
Douglass.
Before Mr.. Gardiner left the stand coun-
sci elected from him that Mrs. Bonine was
aware that he was a lawyer. He had been
a member of the bar for eighteen years and
at one time was police judge in his home
town.
Display of Feeling.
The first display of feeling between coun-
sci and witness since the opening of the
trial. occurred during the cross-examina-
ton of the next witness, James Burns. en-
ployed at the folding room of the govern
ment printing office Last May he occupied
room II in the annex of the Kenmore, di-
rectly in the rear of Mrs. Bonine's apart
ments. He and Ayres were intimate friends.
Both were natives of Michigan. Ayres was
of athletic build and six feet in height.
On his direct examination Burns testified
that early in the evening of the 14th of
May Ayres was dancing. The witness call
ed him out and asked him to go stroling
and sightseeing. Ayres replied that he
was short of money and did not care to go.
About 1890 o'clock that night the witness
determined to have some fun with Jimmy
Ayres." At the time the witness was in
the lobby of the Kenmore with Michael
Kane, Judge Hogan and Mr.. Hooper. 1t
was arranged that Judge Hogan should
make farewell address to Ayres. A COL
.ored boy sent to Ayres' room with in
struction for Jimmy to proceed to the
lobby forthwith.
Ayres Entirely Sober.
When he came down stairs Ayres was
entirely sober. The speech was delivered
and the party adjourned to a saloon. Ayres
took one small glass of beer and two cigars
Later, while they were in front of the Ken
more annex, Arthur McCubbin appeared
and on his invitation the party once more
proceeded to a saloon. The witness could
not recall what Ayres took then.
About 12:30 O'Clock the witness accompa-
MED Ayres to his room. Ayres was very
cheerful by reason of having passed his ex-
aminations at the dental school he had been
attending He told the witness the latter
could have his old trunk. When Burns left
Ayres room Ayres was perfectly sober.

The camp OF the striking union miners at
Nortonville is again a reality. and the most
authentic reports from there today are to
the effect that there are about fifty armed
men in camp and apparently they have
come determined to stay. From Thomas
Rooney. member of the official board Of
the United Mine Workers of America, II
was learned that the new camp was es-
tablished yesterday with fifty charter
members and one large tent. Rooney
said that before night there would be more
than $50 men in camp with ten or more
tents. He said it would be best for news
paper correspondents to give the camp q
wide berth. There is now no doubt that

MESSAGE NEARLY DONE
Red uction or Army in the Phil
ippines to Continue.

Washington, Oct. pa considerable
part of the cabinet meeting today was
devoted to a consideration of the mill
tary situation in the Philippines. The
meeting was attended by all the mem
bers of the cabinet
The conditions in the island of Samar,
where the United States troops suffered
the most severe cheek they have en-
cOuntered yet in the Philippines, in the
massacre of almost the entire company G
of the Ninth infantry, had led the war
department to consider the prOpriety of
stopping, for the time being. the reduc-
tons Which were going on in the Philip
pine army through the discharge of
thousands of enlisted men whose terms
Secretary Roots report and discussing
the situation thoroughly the cabinet de-
cided that there was no present occasion
to suspend the reduction in the United
States military forces of the Philippines.
The original policy, therefore, will pre-
vail and it will not be necessary, it is
understood. to send to the Philippines
at once, the half dozen regiments Sc
lected for the service last week
Secretary Root said the sporadic out
breaks at isolated points in the island
would be dealt with properly as they
arose and additional troops to meet
be needed. The president announced
that the Thanksgiving proclamation
would be promulgated in a few days.
While no statement has been made on
the subject, it is known that President
Roosevelt has nearly completed his
message to be delivered to congress at
its session in December.

NOT PHILANTHROPISTs.
Judges and Clerks of Election Won't
Serve For Glory.

Nine of the judges and clerks already
asked to serve in the coming election
have refused to accept the positions ten
dered to them. Some refuse on the
ground that they have other duties to
perform, while others say that they
can't afford to serve for nothing.
Judges and clerks who serve in the
First, Second, Third and Fourth wards
are paid nothing for their services. The
Commercial club agreed to conduct the
election in these wards without expense
to the county, and has been trying to
get volunteers for the work of serving
as judges and clerks
Only about a third of the judges and
clerks selected have so far been notified,
and it is likely that there will be a good
many more refusals before the work is
finished.
Election Commissioner Sherm Will
lfams says that he probably will do
nothing further toward getting judges
and clerks, leaving it to the people who
organize the polls to name their own
officers.

EMBALMED MILK.
Topeka Food Inspector lnvesti-
eating a Case.

There have been embaimed beef scan
dals. Topeka seems to be trying to
stir up an embalmed milk scandal.
The food inspector and the health Of
ficers are working on a supposed case
of milk embalming, and are trying to
keep the progress of their work mys-
terry. They claim to know little about
the case, and to be afraid to talk about
it for fear of wrongfully accusing some
innocent party.
A specimen of the supposed embalm-
ed milk has been taken to the Kansas
Medical college by the food inspector,
and will be submitted to a bacteria
logical examination. 1t may also be
analysed for it's component parts.
Embalmed milk is milk into which
some sort of preservative has been in
troduced, for the purpose of keeping
the milk fresh for long time. The
specimen which is in the hands of the
food inspector was supposedly given an
overdose" of the preventative OF else
was kept too long.
Mr.. Farnsworth, the food inspector.
says that he tried to get more than the
one specimen of the supposedly "em-
balmed" milk, but that he was unable
to do so.

Since the Spanish war the president
has Travelled all over the country and
has met people everywhere. In Canton
he walks to church and down town
any kind as an escort. In Washington
he walks about the White House
grounds, drives out freely and has en-
joyed much freedom from the presence
of detectives.
s.It has been my custom to stand back
of the president and just to his left so
that could see the right hand of every
person approaching, but yesterday L
was requested to stand opposite the
president SO that Mr.. Milburn could
stand to the left and introduce the peo-
pie who approached. In that way was
unable to get a good look at every ones
right hand.
"A few moments before Czolgosz ap-
preached, man came along with three
fingers of his right hand tied up in a
bandage, and he had shaken hands with
his left. When Czolgosz came up no
tfced he was a boyish looking fellow
with an innocent face, perfectly calm,
and I also noticed that his right hand
was wrapped in what appeared to be
bandage. 1 watched him closely but
was interrupted by the men in front of
him. who held on to the presidents
hand an unusually long time. This man
appeared to be an italian and wore
short heavy black mustache.
He was persistent and 1t was neces-
sary for me to push him along so that
the others could reach the president
Just as he released the presidents hand
and as the president was reaching for
the hand of the assassin there were
quick shots. Startled for a moment
looked and saw the president draw his
right hand up under his coat, straighten
up and pressing his lips together give
Czolgosz the most scornful and con-
temptuous look possible to imagine.
sAt the same time i reached for the
young man and caught his left arm
The big negro standing just back of
him and who would have been next TO
have taken the presidents hand struck
the young man in the neck with one
hand and with the other reached for
the revolver, which had been discharged
through the handkerchief and the shots
from which had set fire to the linen.
Immediately a dozen men fell upon
the assassin and bore him to the floor.
While on the floor Czolgosz again tried
to discharge the revolver, but before he
could point it at the president it was
knocked from his hand by the negro.
1t flew across the floor and one of the
artillerymen picked it up and put it in
his pocket.
ION the way down to the station
Czolgosz would not say word but
seemed greatly agitated."
President Mckinley fingered until 2:l5
the morning of September A. when
he died. It was believed for a time
that he would recover.

UNION PACIFIC CHANGE.
Overland Flyer Will Reach Topeka at

Beginning Sunday evening. November 8.
the Union Pacific Overland flyer leaving
x Kansas n City at $40 p m. and arriving
hours. 1t VIII then leave Kansas City at
9:40 and will pass through Topeka at
n:10- 1t will thus enable the Union Pa
cific to make connections for through pas
Senger business with some of the late
trains into Kansas City from the east
1t Will also have a tendency to increase
Rock Island business The local pas
senger business from Kansas City to To-
peka Is at present divided between the
Rock Island and the Union Pacific. The
trains arrive in Topeka within ten min
utes of each other in the evening. The
new arrangement will throw all the bust
ness to the Rock Island. Manhattan is
also a point at which the Rock Island
and the Union Pacific are competitors.
1t will also make considerable difference
in passenger receipts for the Rock Island
on Denver and other western business out
of Kansas City.
c. NJ. Reed. chief clerk In the railway
postal service department at Wichita, was
in Topeka today comforting with Rock
Island officials relative to changes to be
made in the transportation of the United

carried on the Rock Island.
