AMENDMENTS ARE SUGGESTED
TO STATE ARBITRATION LAW

Denver, Dec. 15.-Amendments to
of arbitrator power to enforce obedi-
ence to its subpoenas, to cause the pun
ishment for contempt of witnesses who
refuse to testify, to enforce its decisions
and to keep them in force for definite
time, are the principal recommended
tions made in the biennial report sub
mitted to the governor by John F. Har-
ley, secretary of the board. The report
details the methods used by other
states to make arbitration laws effect
i've. urging the need of action by the
next Legislature in view of the coming
enormous industrial growth of the
state.
The present law the attorney gen.
eral thinks unconstitutional in one pro-
vision-that comforting the power of a
court upon 1t, since the constitution
provides that the judicial power of the
state is vested solely in the courts, and
decision in an Indiana case, quoted.
declares that board cannot be a court
The amendment to remedy this de-
feet and to get around the obstacle pre-
sented by the constitution is a combi-
nation of the statutes adopted in In
diana and Illinois to cover similar
cases. Instead of giving the board the
powers of court, as does the present
act, the amendment proposes that in
case witness should refuse to aban-
don summons or to testify. the board
may call on the County or the Circuit
Court to issue an order requiring the
recalcitrant to appear and testify, and.
of course, should he fail to obey. the
court, he would be liable to punishment
for contempt
The second amendment proposes that
the agreement entered into between
contending parties through the media
tion of the arbitration board shall be
binding for year. or until either party
shall give ninety days notice of inten-
ton to terminate it.
The third change suggested proposes
the punishment of either party to an
arbitration agreement who may break
faith within the time specified by the
second amendment. Like the first
amendment this is combination of

I features of the Indiana and the Illinois
statutes. 1t proposes that the aggrieyed
party to the agreement may compel the
other party. through the Circuit or the
County Court, to show cause why he
has failed to keep the agreement and in

BOYCOTT HELD
TO BE ILLEGAL

Denver, Dec. 16.-A News special
from Telluride yesterday says:
Judge Theron Stevens this morning
decided against the Miners Union in
the Glazier boycott case. argued before
him a few months ago. The union had
boycotted the restaurant conducted by
James Glazier because he was patron
izing the Telluride Journal, upon which
boycott had previously been placed.
The union placed pickets at the res
.taurant, whose duty 1t was to inform
patrons Of the place that 1t had been
boycotted.
Glazier applied to County Judge
Wardlaw for an Injunction restraining
the union from having pickets at the
restaurant. claiming that they greatly
interfered with his business. The in
junction was granted and the union did
not send representatives to make any
defense. Nearly three months ago John
Murphy. attorney for the union, argued
before Judge Stevens for dissolution
OF the Injunction. e. G. Howe and H.
M. Hogg argued for Glazier and the
mdtlcE WdS ldheH uHueT auflSeHenC.
The substance of the decision of the
court is contained in the following par
agraphs:
"Unquestionably the defendants have
the right to withhold their patronage
from any person or association. wheth-
er they are unfriendly or otherwise, and
they may agree among themselves to
do SO, even though such action should
result In the entire destruction Of the
business of such person or association.

ferred from the pleadings that pickets

TWENTY-FIVE PERSONS INDICTED
BY TELLURIDE GRAND JURY

Denver. Dec. ia Telluride dis
patch Of last night says:
Judge Theron Stevens convened the
District Court of San Migue. county
this morning to receive the report of
the grand jury, which completed its
labors Saturday, and has been prepar-
ing the report since. At the opening
OF the court the members of the grand
jury filed into the court room and
took their seats in the jury box. The
court room was but partly filed with
spectators, those present being prin.
cipally local attorneys.
Judge Stevens arose and said !:
Gentlemen of the jury, are you ready
to report?"
Foreman Mansfield replied: 1--WE
are, your honor, l have here the re.
port of the grand jury, with fifty-seven
true bills
Stepping forward, he handed the re.
port to the judge, together with a
bundle of legal papers.
Following is the report of the jury !:
ITO the Honorable District Court OF
San Miguel County, Colorado:
"The undersigned grand jury, cho.
sen. selected and sworn in and for the
county Of San Miguel. in the state OF
Colorado, at this November term here

tigated each and every of the matters
and things which they were required to

and have also Investigated various 9th.

sole purpose OF injuring and destroying
his business and to induce the plaint-
ms patrons and persons other than the
defendants to withhold their patronage
from him. 1t is not shown that the
defendants have any interests to pro-
tect by the methods employed, and
surely 1t will not be contended that
there is any value In a friendship that
is secured by coercion.
1T is claimed by defendants that no
threats or violence Of any kind were
used, but 1t is not stated that 1t was
necessary to station the pickets at
plaintiffs place OF business for the pur-
pose OF communicating the fact OF his
unfriendliness to the members Of the
defendant association.
While no threats were used. yet the
very presence Of the pickets in num-
bers was threat In itself In effect
1t was saying to all persons who were
disposed to do business with the plaint-
IN: This person Is unfair to organized
labor. We do not want you to do
business with him; II you do we shall
consider such act as urfricndly to or
ganiZed labor and we Will boycott you
the same way as we are doing here
1T cannot reasonably be denied that
such was the effect Intended In placing
such pickets and such result would
logically and naturally follow. Threats
In language are not the only threats
recognized by law. Covert and un-
spoken threats may be just as effective
as spoken threats. Casey VS.. Union.

reach any other conclusion than that

rer OF plaintiff should be sustained.

IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS FOR
PAHALA.
Engineers Left Yesterday To Make
Preliminary Surveys For Proposed
Road-To Replace Flume.

Ray Maynard and Howard Adams
were passengers on the Mauna Loa
yesterday for Pahala plantation where
they go to make preliminary survey
for a new plantation railway for O..
Brewer d Company. Although the sur
veyors have gone to the plantation and
are to begin the surveys Immediately,
the agents of the plantation have not
as yet decided positively about the con-
struction of the railway. This matter
will depend largely upon the report
made by the engineers.
For some time past, it has been ap-
parent that other methods than the
tluminE We're needed to get the cane to
the Pahala mill. In times of drought.
the cane could not be transported with
out additional cost and trouble and as
a solution a railway was suggested. G.
Brewer q Company have had this pro-
position of the railway under consider
alton for some time past and it was
finally decided to send engineers to
make preliminary surveys and report
upon the praCticability and cost of con-
struCting the road.
The surveying party will be absent
at least six weeks and perhaps longer
al they are to make a thorough report
with probable cost of the installation
of the system. 1t is regarded as very
likely that the railroad will be con-
StruCted but it will be some months be-
fore the matter will have been definite
ly settled one way or the Othre.

NATIVE LIFE IN SAMOA.IS AN OLD SUBJECT
DIR. sLOGGETT ON THE TUA TUA
PLANT.
All Reports Against The Alleged
Leprosy Cure But Another Trial Will
BE Made

DR.. Sloggett President of the Board
Of Health makes vigorous reply to the
critics of his position and the position
of the Board of Health, as regards Tua
tua. The doctor says he has a great
deal on which to base his opinion that
the plant is not a remedy for leprOsy,
and that though the subject is four
years old and has been thrashed out be-
fore, the board is making every effort
to experiment with the disease.
"The Tua tua is a laughing stock
among professional men," said DR.. SlOg-
gett 1T has been before the board of
health here for four years and two years
aEosDr. Camp and DR.. Hoffman report
ed after trying it that it was of no
value.
These reports Of cures, like the one
i'm Tahiti, are never from anyone COM
petent to make a report" said DR. SlOg-
gett, land they are always somewhere
several thousand miles away. There
was a similar report from a priest in
Venezuela before the report from Ia
hiti Some years ago a druggist in
Manila made up a prescription from
Tua tua and began to sell 1t as a cure
for leprosy. Some of it was secured by
the Marine Hospital service at Wash
ingtOn, and after an examination the
department decided that there was no
virue in the alleged cure. Plants were
sent here and Hawaii was invited to
make experiments.
This was four years ago, and the
Board of Health took up the matter
then, reaching the same conclusion that
others had reached, and the matter was
dropped
81 know of no report from any COM
petent medical man that is not against
the claims made for Tua tua. So far
we have no results at all, not to mention
cures. Cases treated are not even bene-
fitted. The medicine causes great pain,
and patients are 10th to take it.
AT present. we are doing everything
in our power to make another thorough
trial 1t will probably be year before
we have enough of the plant for this
! 1t is being grown as fast as possible
and DR.. ShOrey has instructions to give
the treatment a trial. The Governor
asked us to make a trial, and the news
| paper talk has led many to think that A.
| is a cure we ought to use, but it is fan
from correct to say that the experiment
| is new, or that there is not already evil
{ dence on which a doctor has a right tC
! form an opinion.
| THE Board of Health cannot give It's
| sanction to a remedy on the strength
| of an indefinite report from Tahiti OF
! Venezuela. We shall make our owl

| some of the extract now, and he vii

GOV DOLE DEPARTS THE KONA SUIT ENDE
MUCH ENTHUSIASM SHOWN AT
WHARF.
Applauded and Cheered as He Boarded
Sierra for San Francisco-Joking
Judge Gear Stayed at Home.

The departure of the Sierra for San
Francisco this morning was witnessed
by one of the largest crowds which has
assembled in many months at the
Quarantine wharf. The occasion was
the departure of Governor Dole for
Washington where he is confer with
President Roosevelt regarding the poll
tical conditions in this territory.
The band was present. In addition
to those who went to the vessel to see
Governor Dole depart, were many who
had friends leaving by the Sierra.
When Governor and Mrs. Dole drove
to the wharf they were met by Chief
Justice Frear, Justice Perry, f. w.
MaCfarlane, chairman of the fire claims
commission Attorney General q. P.
Dole, ]. b. AthertOn, High Sheriff
Brown and scores more of prominent
citizens who had gathered to bid him
aloha. Quite a little reception was held
at the entrance of the wharf building
by the Governor while his friends deck
ed him with many leis. The Governor
mounted the gangway shortly before
sailing time. AS he walked up the
gangway, he was greeted by a loud
burst of applause to which he respond
ed by bowling. Some one called for
three cheers for Governor Dole and the
crowd responded with an enthusiasm
that has seldom been Witnessed here at
any departure. Mrs. Dole did not ac-
company her husband.
Just before the vessel sailed the band
left the wharf and took passage on the
tug boat Fearless and accompanied the
Sierra some distance out to sea. Other
citizens also went along.
Additional interest was given to the
departure of the Sierra by the report
that Judge Gear intended leaving on
the vessel. The crowds waited for the
appearance of the rotund judge with
his leis, but no one appeared. 1t was
finally suggested that perhaps he would
attempt to go disguised. Every stout
person wearing a holOku was looked on
with suspicion in consequence, but the
joking judge did not make his appear
ance, nor was the Marshal of the EN-
pire, Emil Ney, present, both evidently
having official business elsewhere.
