RUSH FOR CLAIMS IN
The WYOMING
OIL FIELD
Cowboys Carry Things by
Storm, Stalking Claims and
Receiving a Volley of Shots
From Opposing Locators-
No Fatalities Attend the
Shootings.

EVANSTON, Wyo., Jan. 1.-The rush
for claims in the Uintah oil fields still
continues, and from the present out
look not more than a week will elapse
before all the claims will have been
taken up. So far as known, there has
been no bloodshed, although shots
were exchanged in many cases.
Up to midnight last night a person
would we'll imagine himself in the heart
of hostile country. Fires, marking
the corners of claims, were lighted by
thousands, and these, together with
hundreds of men camped near them,
reminded one of a bivouac at war
Col. Ketchum, at the head of twelve
desperate cowboys, well armed and
mounted, carried the Aspen country by
storm. At midnight they rode forward
down the section lines, setting stakes
as they came to the corners. AS the
first stakes were being driven they
were greeted by volley of gunshots
from opposing locators, but the bullets
all went wide of their marks. Swing
ing into their saddles, the party darted
forward, nor did they cease until they
had located every section open for fl.
ing. Then, retracting their way, they
found that the opposing parties had in
many instances pulled their stakes and
burned them in the fire. These were
replaced, and the triumphant party re-
turned to file their claims.
In the Spring Valley country there
were fist fights on every side, but the
men refrained from the use of fire
arms.

MORE WAGES FOR

Increase Granted the Order

Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-The New Year
opens auspiciously with the announce
ment of increases in wages. One of the
heaviest advances that has been an
nounced by any union or fraternaI or
ganization comes from the Order Of
Railway Telegraphers. Grand Chief
Telegrapher H. B. Perham, who is in
the city on business, stated today that
he had received schedules that have
been accepted by twenty-six railroads
involving an advance in the wages OF
operators of $1,127000 annually. Mr..
Perham said that his negotiations with
the companies had been exceptionally
satisfactory and successful. He had
been received, he said, with the great
est courtesy and every manager with
whom he had talked expressed a de-
sire to advance the salaries of opera
tors, as they believed them to be de-
serving of an increase at this time.
The new schedules said Mr.. Per-
ham, Include railroads extending from
the New York Central to the Pacific
coast. They were acquired without
any friction and none of the companies
was threatened with strike. 1 con-
slider this fact one of the greatest ar
guments in favor of the making Of
schedules between the railroads and
the Operators"

GIRL WIDOW ARRESTED
ON CHARGE OF MURDER
Her Husband the Alleged Victim
Woman's Mother Also Arrested.

4 SYRACUSE, N. Y, JAN Mrs.
Maud Kehl, eighteen years old, and
her mother, Mrs. Addie Fenner, were
arrested at their home in South Onon-

charging them with the murder of Will
liam Kiehl, husband of Mrs. Kiehl
They were taken to Cortland. This is
the outcome of the inquest at which
evidence was produced tending to show
that William Kiehl died of arsenieal
poisoning.
This is the second time Mrs. Kiehl
has been arrested. Several months
ago she was accused of poisoning
Adam Kiehl, her brother-in-law, the
theory of the prosecution being that
she killed him to prevent his marriage
to another woman. She was acquitted.
The officials began an investigation
into the death Of the wonan's hus-
band, who expired some time before
his brother, Adam, under almost SINH
lar circumstances. The results came
when warrants were issued for the ar
rest Of both Mrs. Kiehl and her mother.

FUNSTON'S ASSISTANT
SENTENCED FOR MURDER
HiIario PIacido, Filipino Who Helped

DENVER, Col, Jan. manila dis
patches received at the headquarters
of the army of the Colorado, in this
city, state that Hilario Placido, Fill
pino who aided Gen. Funston in the
capture of Aguinaldo, has been SEN
fenced to life imprisonment for mur-
der. Gen. Funston said:
HE was never my spy, and the only
money he ever received from the Unit
ed States was for the part he took in
the capture of Aguinaldo. He fought
against the Spaniards and then took
up arms against the United States. In
1899 he was severely wounded, being
shot through the lung. He recovered
and again took an active part in the
war. The following year he surrender
ed at the same time that Gen. Garcia
did. He was a prisoner three months
and then 1 released him. He took the
oath of allegiance and oftentimes of his
own volition gave me information re-
garding the enemy. He was not spy
in the sense of the word that he was
in the governments employ, nor did
he ever go into their lines for informa-
ton for our use.

him and he agreed to help me. In or
der to carry out the scheme he became
the nominal commander of the expedi-
ton, as it was necessary to make the
natives believe that we Americans were
prisoners. When we reached the camp
of Aguinaldo, Placido rushed in and
threw his former chief on the floor of
the hut and held him there until we

N0RDAU ON NEW

VIENNA, Jan. LIN an exhaustive
review of the history of The world con-
tributed to the Neue Frd9e Presse, Max
Nordau deeply deplores sthe growth of
military imperialisTn fB the United
States and says that by the admission
of the spirit of miiitarisEn, which was
formerly vigorously excluded, Ameri-
lea is raising obstacles 20 the entrance
of Immigrants whose only capital is
their strong working arms.
Nordau says the opening of the Pan
anna canal, under American ownership,
will mark the beginning of a new
epoch. The tragic stage of the worlds
history, which in ancient times cen
tered in the Mediterranean and which
moved in the naval ages to the Allan
tic, will then be transferred to the Pa
cific ocean. At first the Anglo Saxon
element will seek to drive out the Ger
man and French flags floating over
single points in the Pacific ocean. Then
the struggle will be carried further to
the Asiatic coast, where Anglo -Saxons
and Russians will have to decide the
momentous world question of whether
Eastern and Southern Asia will be
British or Russian. M. Nefdau adds:
"One can imagine only with horror
what a gigantic struggle of nations and
races will signify"

Special to The Globe.


CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-Action in line
with the much -talked-of plan to in
duce John Mitchell, president of the
Mine Workers,to enter politics was TAX
en- today at the annual meeting of the
Cook county Democracy, when the not
ed labor leader was unanimously elect
ed an honorary member of that organi-
zation with wild whoop of approval.
The action is intended as feeIer to
draw from the head of the Miners
union. if possible. some expression as
to his attitude toward the Democratic
party and partisan politics.
The enthusiasm with which the mo-
ton was adopted and the frequency
and warmth with which Mr.. Mitchelps
name was uttered by speakers of the
day showed beyond question that he is
immensely popular with the Demo-
cratic party workers and that his can
didacy for vice president or for gov
ernor of Illinois, if he could be per-
suaded to accept a nomination, would
be formidable
John Mitchell could have the DEM
ocratic nomination for governor with
out an effort if he would take it and I
believe that he could get the second
place on the national ticket just as
easily" said State Senator Thomas
Dawson. ut is the general idea that
he is too intensely interested in the
work of the miners to give up his pres
ent position, but Democrats would GER
tainly welcome him as party leader
Former Judge William H. ~Barnum

iment of the highest type of American
citizenship and of unselfish effort for

cording to Prof.
Wilder.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1.-At
today's session of the American AS
sociation for the Advancement of
Science it was decided that hereafter
any section of the association may
hold a summer session independently
of the association, the latter to defray
the expenses up to $50. About thirty
prominent scientists were elected fell
lows of the association. A large num-
Der of papers on technical subjects
were read at the various meetings of
the sections.
One Of the interesting papers was
by Prof. Burt Wilder, of Cornell uni
versity, in the section of zoology on
Some Questions as to the Arrange
ment of the Primates." According to
the views advanced by Prof. Wilder,
there should be a rearrangement in
the present classification of apes and
man. The brain he considers as afford
ing the best criterion on which to de-
termine their affinities and divergen-
cies. Incidentally he showed that
brain of the Ourang outang approached
more nearly that of man, and that
judged by this character the ourang
outang should rank next after man in
stead of the gorilla. This paper pro-
voked much discussion.
The association tonight elected the
following officers for the ensuing year:
President, Carroll D. Wright, Wash

WASHINGTON, D. G., Jan. IL
Public indignation has been thor

prices charged at this time for meat ~
said Assistant Secretary of Agricult11ra-
Blngham today. "When there was e.
scarcity of corn and cattle ruled at.
high prices there was some excuse for
the price demanded for meat but now
the price of cattle has been greatly re-
duced, and there is no good reason.
why the price of meat should not be
correspondingly reduced. "The small
supply of cattle at Chicago last sum-
mer sent prices up until they reached
the highest figures of the year-prices
higher than had before been reached in
twenty years. Last month the glut in
the cattle market at Chicago caused
prices to recede to the lowest recently
reached, and cattle were sold for s4.75
to $5.25 in December that would have
brought $S.25 to $S.75 at the highest
time of the year.
I'm view of the fact that the reports
indicate large supply of cattle on
hand in Chicago and other markets,
and that the wholesale price of cattle
has been reduced very greatly and also
that the large packers of Chicago
have reduced the price, it seems
to me corresponding reduction
should be shown in the retail prices.
If the people will awaken to the sit
uation and assert their rights now
that there is plenty of corn and no
valid excuse for fancy prices, relief
will, I believe, promptly follow
