WESTERN MINER Suggests Special Session
 for Colorado. THE EIGHT HOUR LAW The Matter of the Arizona Cut in Con- sequence of Recent Legislation
 in this Territory Requires
 Consideration.

Denver Coio.. May 27.-Committees Federation of Miners and the American Labor Union called on Governor Pea body today and urged him to include in his call~for an extra session of the leg islature, should he issue one, a provis- ion for the consideration of an eight hour law. The governor promised to take the matter under consideration, but expressed doubt of the ability of the friends of labor to secure such a law
 The sessions of the two conventions today were chiefly devoted to the pres entation of the annual addresses of the presidents. The principal recommenda- ton of President Mover of the miners organization was that the conventions be held biennially instead of annually. President Mcdonald of the American Labor Union recommended some minor changes of the bylaws and urged the importance of extending the organiza- ton.
 During the year 139 unions have been organized and the affiliation of the United Brotherhood of Railway Elm ployes has been secured. The financial statement showed S1.45O.13 on hand April l, 1902; receipts, s17,2O595 dis bursements, $1S,242.67; balance on hand April 30, $413.41.
 The miners devoted most of the fore noon today to the considera tion of the situation in Arizona. The Mine Operat- ors' association notified the miners of a cut in wages on June 1 of from g to 90 cents a day off the present wages. The convention finally instructed the Ari- zona delegates to wire their unions not to accept the cut. The proposed reduc- tion is the result of eighthour legisla- ton.

rick, who in letter to Judge Redwine soon afterward, said that ht, and others saw the assassin. and would come back and testify if troops were sent to pro tect them. The knowledge that he pos sessed put a price on his fife. Judge Redwine declined to ask for troops and had an attachment issued for Patrick, who, to escape going back to what he considered certain death, has since liv- ed in seclusioh It is stated that he will appear tomorrow to testify and, with others, will name the assassins. The assassination of Dr. Cox, an uncle of the Cockrill boys. will be taken up next.
 It seems certain now that to avoid a mistrial the trial of Curtis Jett and Tom White, accused of the assassina- tion of J. B. Marcum, will not be en- tered into until next week, when the regular term begins. The special term ends on Saturday. Separate trials will likely be asked for the men.
 In the courtroom today. when the cases were called and by agreement continued until tomorrow, Jett and White were guarded by twenty soldiers. The prisoners were not ironed Judge Redwine issued an order for everyone who enters the courtroom to be search ed for weapons. He also gave Colonel Williams authority to make arrests in town for disorderly conduct or any misdemeanor. which makes martial law in Jackson practically absolute

The Arrest of Superintend-
 ent of Free Delivery.
CAUGHT ACCIDENTALLY
Charged With Accepting Bribes for FavOring a Patent Box Attach ment--The Evidence
 is Damaging.

Washington. D. C.. May 27.-By far the most sensational development of the postoffice investigation up to this time occurred today when Augustus Machen. the superintendent of the free delivery service. was arrested on d warrant issued upon the information of a postoffice inspector. charging him with having received rake offs from contracts made with the local firm of Gron brothers, for patent postal box fastener. The warrant specifically charges him with receiving $1S,9S1.7S since August 8, 1900.
 It is alleged at the department, how ever, that this amount does not repre- sent all that Machen obtained from his contracts, it being charged that he prohted by them for several years pre- viously to the date of the first contract | mentioned in the warrant. Other ar rests are to follow.
 Immediately after Machen was taken into custody the postmaster general is sued an order removing him from office. He had been practically under. suspicion for q fortnight pending in- vestigation. The discovery of Machen's alleged interest in the contracts was made quite accidentally by the inspec- tors some three weeks ago and since then their energies had been directed toward making case.
 Last night, after the authorities had become convinced that they were i'll possession of the necessary evidence. Macksn was notified to appear at the department this morning. He did SO and was subjected to a sweating process by the inspectors and Fourth Assistant Postmaster General BristoN- for three hours. but no admissions that he had profited by the contracts could be secured from him. He declined tC. answer many questions on the ground that they related to his private busi- ness, but insisted to the end that he had not received cent Improperly
 Nevertheless he was arrested on tho, wasrant which had been prepared, and was taken before a United States com. missioner where his attorney immedi- ateIy demanded a full hearing.
 Attorney TaGgert, however, was not ready to proceed and the case was postponed until June 2. MT. Macherl gave a $20G00 bond. furnished by Q Philadelphia bond company, for his ap- pearance, declining to accept the prof fer or friends to go on his bond. The department officials declare that their evidence is conclusive. It is under stood that a civil suit will be entered to recover from Machen the amount he is alleged to have received on the con tracts.
 Diller B. Groff. one of the partners in the firm of the Groff brothers. who were accused of having bribed August w. Machen for the purpose of procur- ing the purchase by the government of their letter box fasteners, called at po- lice headquarters tonight. stating that he had heard that 9 warrant was out for his arrest. The warrant was served and he was released on $10 900 bonds pending a hearing before he United States commissioner tomorrow.
 Samuel A. Groff, the sther member Of the Groff firm, was taken into GUS tOdy later and was released on receipt of bail in the sum of s5.000.

Strange Situation In q

suit.

A peculiar situation is revealed in the
filing of petition in the case of Susan
Kettering and Others against Alice
Kettering. The plaintiff owes the de-
fendant $500 on a note that has been
lost, but which was secured by mort
gage upon 200 acres of land in Jack
son township. There is no dispute
about the amount due. but Alice Ket-
tering refuses to accept the money, re-
lease the mortgage and give a receipt
against the note.
Susan Kettering comes into court
and has deposited the full amount due
and asks the court to compel the de-
fendant to accept it and indemnify the
plaintiff against the note and release
the mortgage. The suit is the out
growth of controversy among heirs
over a valuable farm. Sterling q
