DID HE KNOW THE FACTS?
suggestion That a Navy Suicide Knew
What Blew Up the Maine


What Blew Up the Maine
Kansas City, Sept. 1.-THE news of
the suicide of Lieutenant Morris on the
Olympia in Boston harbOr Monday,
while it was hardly expected by his
friends here, was no surprise to them.
Morris has had weight of some kind
on his mind ever since the blowing up
of the Maine at Havana. and it is the
general impression here that his sui
eide is the indirect result of that
disaster. Morris was an electrician
on the Maine, with the rank of assist
ant engineer.
When he visited here after his es-
cape at Havana he was very averse to
talking about the matter, but his
friends at the Kansas City club and
elsewhere gathered the impression that
he knew the cause of the explosion
and that it was not due to Spanish
mines or tOrDedOes.

district presidents of the same organ

the best part of yesterday in confer

ticipated were in communicative
mood. President Mitchell said it was
the regular monthly meeting of the
executive board of the United Mine
Workers, and GomperS and Wilson
happening to be coming this way
stopped over. GOmperS was Il little
more talkatiVe than the others. When
asked what was the object of his Wis

Il simply came up here to look over

in excellent shape. The strike is be
ing ably conducted and ] learn that
there is ample relief for all the Strik-

GomperS was asked whether the
Federation will be assessed to support
tIe miners. He said in reply that the
trades unions now comprising the Fed
Grafton are making voluntary con-
tributiOnS to help the miners. and that
if it is necessary to give additional
aid it will be done: but at present"
he continued. the miners are well
able to take care of themselves" !"

take action on the strike. GOmpers

President GOmpers is said to be one
of the powers behind the movement
for an all-winter strike. He formulated
a plan for the relief of the striking
miners and submitted this at the con-
ference. There will not be a ton of
coal mined in Pennsylvania this win
