PUT THAT MAN OUT
Cannon Threatened by
SchuIteis Has Him
Shown the Door.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Washington, d. c., Dec 4.-Speaker
suit from Herman ]. Schulteis, chairman
of the National Legislative Committee of
the knights of Labor. summarily ordered
Mr. Schulteis from the Speakers room at
the Capitol today, with the parting in
junction to the labor leader never TO dar-
ken his door again.
Mr.. Schultes made his first call upon
the Speaker several days ago, with the de-
mand that Representative Lavernash, of
San Francisco, be made chairman of the
Committee on Labor, and that Represen-
tative Wynn, of the same city, be made a
member of that committee. AS both these
men are members of the minority Mr..
Cannon explained to Mr.. Schulteis that
their committee assignments would de-
pend on the recommendation of Repre-
sentative Williams, the minority floor
leader, but that it would be impossible
to make Mr.. Livernash chairman of the
committee, as no chairmanships would go
to the minority.
When Mr. Schulteis appeared before
the Speaker today he announced in what
was taken by that official to be an often
sive manner that the labor committee had
been packed" He renewed his demand
that Mr.. Livernash be assigned to this
committee, announcing that he had de-
feated Mr.. Cannon for election in the For
ty-second Congress and unless his request
in this instance was accorded, he would
go into the Speakers district in the next
campaign. Mr.. Schulteis did not have
time to finish telling the Speaker what he
would do to him at that time, as Mr.. Can
non at this point gave his peremptory or
der for the mans election from the room,
stating as he did so that there was no
chance of the committees being packed
by Mr.. Schulteis.

Martial Law Proclaimed
Over the Cripple
Creek District.
(By Che Associated Press }

Denver, Col, Dec. 4.--Governor Peabody
today issued proclamation declaring
Cripple Creek under martial law and sus-
pending the writ of habeas corpus. He
declares that the gold camp is in a state
of instruction and rebellion and that the
civil authorities are powerless.
In support of his action, the governor
cites the blowing up of portion of the
Vindicator mine and other acts of lawless-
ness and declares that it is impossible
to control the turbulence of the camp
by ordinary peaceable method.
The proclamation does not state in so
many words that martial law has been
declared and that the writ of habeaS
corpus has been suspended but officials
at the State House say that both these
things are intended. The military will
now deal with all alleged offenders and
try TO punish them
Colonel Edward Verdeckburg command
er of the military force in Cripple Creek
was with the governor when he dictated
the proclamation. He left for Cripple
Creek later in the day with a copy Of
the proclamation. Wholesale arrests oi
strikers suspected of implication in the
Vindicator explosion and other cases of
violence will be made tomorrow.
The 'bull pen" will be enlarged so as
to accommodate several hundred pris-
oners.

British Mills to Come Here.

London, Dec. 4.-The rise in cotton
caused intense excitement in Manchester
and Liverpool today. American cotton
advanced 2S to Al points over yesterday s
closing prices. 1t is said locally that #
the official crop estimate of the United
States Department of Agriculture made
public yesterday is correct it means a
terrible calamity for Lancashire
The cotton trade is divided in opin-
ion, one section contending that the de-
mand Tor cotton goods, because of the
falling off of orders from India and
China, is not likely to be exceptionally
great during the coming year and that
ten million bales, as estimated by the
American Agricultural Department, will
be sufficient to meet all requirements.
One OF the largest firms of cotton spin
ners at Bradford, announce that they are
preparing to erect mills in the United
States, to which they will transfer hun
dreds of looms, with their complement
OF combining, drawing and spinning ma
chinery, the dismounting of which has
already commenced. In making the an
nouncement the firm say:
'The American manufacturers recently
have made such vast improvements III

classes of goods, similar to those we pro-
duce, on which we are paying 100 percent
and upward in duty, that we are conf

A RECESS Is NEEDED.
Awkward Results of Running Extra
Session of CONGRESS.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 4.--Unless there is an
agreement by both houses OF Congress
to adjourn the present extra session
before noon Monday when the regular
session begins all nominations must fail
and il the present special session ends
by limitation, thus preventing the Presi-
dent from sending recess appointments
to the Senate, all pending recess apoint-
ments must terminate with the conven-
ing OF Congress in its regular session.
These considerations today furnished
the incentive for a number of confer
ences looking to an agreement to ad-
journ on Monday or even toAorrow in
order to crmit the President 10 send
in recess appointments. Friends of Cen
eral Wood are vitality interested and will
try to bring about adjournment by con-
current action. Failure of action would
mean General Woods reversion to the
rank of brigadier general and have simi
lar effect on the appointments of 16i
army officers advanced. by reason of Gen
eral Woods promotion, all of whom have
assumed the ranks and pay of their new
appointments in the same manner as
though their nominations had been con-
firmed by the Senate.
given serious thought to the questions
involved that a recess must occur between
the termination of the preent extra ses-
sion and the beginning of the next ses-
sion in order to relieve the embarrass-
ment resultant on failure to confirm the
army nominations referred to. The merg
ing of the special session into the regu-
lar session would leave only an Infinite

for recess appointments to be made.
The Senate Committee on Military 'Af-
fairs will convene Monday at II o'clock
to resume its hearing of the Wood case.
If the hearing should continue until one
minute after II O'Clock the committee
would be in the unique situation of in
vestigating a matter which was not pend

to Japans proposals is almost completed
but will not be ready for transmission

is expressed in official circles that the

Depositors in Dewey's
Bank Lose Nothing.
he WRITES LETTERS
A Judgment Has Been DOcketed
Against Ex-Cashier Dewey, for
$11O,690---His Bondsmen
Are to be Sued
(New Bern Journal.)

The stockholders of the Farmers and
Merchants Banks were rejoiced yesterday
TO know that they will receive every cent
that they had in the bank the day II
closed as a result OF the financial opera
tions of T. w. Dewey
Upon a petition of the stockholders
Judge Moore, of the Superior court, yes
terday appointed Mr.. W. b. Blades as
trustee The stockholders, with few ex-
ceptions, assigned their stock to the trus-
tees thereby wipiag out their holdings
OF stock in the wrecked institution. This
action relieved the present receivers
Messrs. Thos. Daniels and John Dunn
of their duties and Judge Moore made a
settlement with them for the work per-
formed up to the present time
Receiver Daniels had received $1,000 for
his services up to the time OF the JOINT
receivership. Judge Moore yesterday
awarded Mr. Daniels $3.50 for his addition
al services and Mr.. Dunn $500. The two
attorneys, w. w. Clark and Owen H.
Guion received $500 each for legal SER
vices.
The directors of the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank have given bond for $780,
900 to insure the fulfllment OF the obliga-
tion to pay all the depositors in full.
Ine appointment OF the trustee ndd no
sooner been made than the directors
completed their arrangements for the
necessary cash so that there would be lit
tie or no delay in settling with the de-
positors. In fact this could be done at
once and II will be done before the ex-
piration of the thirty days given for this
| purpose.
Upon the appointment of Trustee
Blades action was taken against the late
cashier, Dewey, to the effect that a judg-
ment of $110, $50 was entered against him.
This may look like chasing a shadow, but
under it comes something quite substan-
tial, the action to enforce the payment
of the $4,000 bond under which Cashier
Dewey was holding his position. The
bondsmen, relative of the late Dewey, hav-
ing refused payment OF the bond the
matter will go into the courts The point
at issue will be whether the bond was n
continuous one or whether it held for the
first year only and that upon reelection
the bond did not hold good.
In this connection it may be said that
the whereabouts of Dewey is still inter
esting guess work That he will step ofs
the A. and N c. train at the timely hour
of six would not surprise some. The only
new thing is that the late cashier still
shows his ability as ready letter writer.
several of his favoIs having been received
quite lately One of these contained the
request for the loan of 500. These let
tiers are remailed and of course do not
bear the postmark of their original point
