WINS JUDGESHIP AT CARDS
Missouri Jurist Called on TO Prove
lie Got the Nomination
Honestly,

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Dec. 12.-Judge
Burgess Of the supreme court today issued
writ of custer against Judge Burkhead
Of Douglass county to compel him to show
cause why he is entitled to hold the office
of circuit judge of the Twenty-first dis
trict.
The supreme court will be asked to de-
termine whether II is a violation Of the
corrupt practice act to secure a nomina-
tion by game Of cards in which the judge
ship nomination and 1875 were the stakes.
Burkhead (rep) defeated George w.
Thornberry (dem.). Thornberry contested
the election, alleging that Burkhead and
Ernest Bronson were republican candidates
for the judgeship, that the men agreed to
play a game Of cards to see who should
have the nomination, and against the nom
ination a sum of s1,S75 was put up.
Bronson won, but 1t is alleged that he
being unable to carry the convention, threw
his vote to Burkhead in consideration OF
the financial stake. The defeated demo-
crat also seeks to prove Burkhead spent
more money than stated in his return.

o'CoNNELL DENIES CHARGE
Says He Does Not Believe Machinists
Tried TO Destroy Battleship
Machinery.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.--The senate COM
mittee on labor today listened to arguments
for and against the eight-hour bill.
James O'Connell. president OF the Inter-
national Association of Machinists, referred
to a statement made before the committee
yesterday by James H. Null, assistant
manager at Cramps ship yards, to the
effect that the representative of the Inter
national Association Of Machinists had tried
to destroy the machinery OF the battleship
Alabama, and the transport Thomas while
they were undergoing repairs in the COM
pany's yards.
Mr. O'Connell said that nothing OF the
kind had ever been brought TO his atten-
tion and be did not believe 1t ever oc-
Cured.
e. Payson, for the Newport News Ship
building company, referred to the strike in
1901 and said when Illinois was about to
leave the yard on its trial trip word had
gone forth from the labor union that II
should not leave until the unions terms
we're complied with. He vehemently ex-
claimed that It was an act which II the
United States had been at war, would have
been "misprision of treason"
Men had suffered the loss OF their lives
for less culpable acts than were commit
James Duncan, national, secretary Of the
Granite Cutters association, denied Mr..
Paysons assertion.
Then Samuel Gompers, president Of the
Federation Of Labor, took the stand and de-
MED the allegations made by Mr.. Null yes
terday and Judge Payson today, alleging
that the International Association OF Ma
chinists had attempted 10 precipitate a
strike in the Cramps shipyards during the
Spanish war and that some Of the men had
attempted to tamper with the machinery OF
transport.
He vehemently denounced the charge and
said that Major Carson Of Thomas had de-
clared the statements untrue.
'It is true" continued Mr.. Gompers
that the strike in the Cramps shipyard
delayed the departure of Thomas for weeh
or ten days, but as a matter of fact it was
not during the Spanish American war, but
later in the year 1899"
Continuing, and speaking with much fer
vor, Mr. Gompers said:
II any man was guilty OF the act charged
| here yesterday, IL was the duty of Mr
| Cramps as a citizen of our country to make
a criminal charge against him and to eN
| pose to the world what II Implied. TIT
| charge has not been outlawed by the stat
| ute of Limitation, and IL II has no founda
| tion In fact Il simply reacts upon the headi
| of those who have made the accusation,

charge d'affaires, called at the State de-
paTtment today to discuss the canal treaty

retary any reply from the Bogota govern
ment as to the price which Colombia will

DR.. Herran that in view of the many other
weighty diplomatic matters pressing for
attention at this time and the growing i'm
patience at the capital at the delay in the
conclusion of a canal convention, immedi-
ate action by the Bogota government was
imperative.
DR.. Herran today cabled the foreign
ofice at Bogota the wishes Of the State de-
partment and calling attention to the seri-
Gus complications that may arise out o.
