MANY ARRESTS
AT CRIPPLE CREEK

Cripple Creek. Nov. 23.-Charles G.
Kennison, leader of the strike, as well
as other members of the executive
committee of the district union and a
dozen other strikers are under arrest
pending further investigation of the
dynamiting of the Vindicator mine
shaft and the murder of Superintend-
ent Mccormick and Shift Boss Beck.
Evidence has been gathered that
confirms the suspicion that the explo-
sion was presrranged, and the mine
management, the civil and military au-
thorities are convinced that the plot
was laid days. If not weeks, before its
execution.
Through the number on the barrel of
the revolver found in the level. and
which was used to explode the Internal
machine. the ownership of the weapon
has been traced. The revolver was
left for repairs in shop in Victor and
the owner called there n few days ago
and took it away Whether the owner
of the pistol is among those under ar
rest is not made public.
James Turleau. n miner employed on
the Vindicator. was approached in
Cripple Creek on Wednesday or Thurs
day of last week by three men and
asked If he worked on the Vindicator.
Replying that he did. he was told that
he might inform his superintendent.
Mccormick. that his mine would not
be working after Friday night. Tur-
leau gave this information to his super
intendent. and this may have account
ed for McCormick's going below Satur-
day when he met his death. Tur-
leau saws he was warned that he
would not better work Friday night. A
search is being made for the three men
whom Turleau describes.

EVENTS IN WASHINGTON AND
TRANSACTIONS OF CONGRESS!
shafroth Currency Bill.

Congressman Shafroth has intro
duced hill authorizing the issuance
of a currency redeemable in United
States bonds. 1t directs the secretary
of the treasury, upon presentation OF
bonds in amount not exceeding $lo'-
100000 in any one month to issue In
lieu thereof currency bonds in denoml-
nations of $40, 500. $50. 800. $500 and
81 900, payable thirty days after date
in the currency stipulated in the sur
rendered bond. and to bear interest at
the rate of 1 per cent per annum, IN
terest payable annually. The project
is well hedged in with limitations, SO
that the market value of United
States bond will be paid by the treasury
and so that the market price of bonds
cannot be forced unnaturally high.
The holder of currency bond must
have 1t registered SO that the interest,"
will accrue to him.
Mr., Shafroth says the effect of this
bill will be to gradually convert the
national debt into l per cent bonds.
A person who desires to sell his govern.
ment bonds would get the full market
value in legal tender money and be
entitled to interest on the same. The
system would require no Solu reserve
with all the expense and inconvenience
of maintaining it.
If the interest were higher than per
cent there would be tendency to
hoard the bonds. Mr. Shafroth thinks
the system would gradually increase
the currency without any rapid in
fiation.
Senator Dubois of Idaho took issue
with Senator Hoar's statement in re-
gard to the improperly of petitions
bearing upon the case of the expulsion
or retention of Senator Smoot of
Utah. Mr.. Dubois said: Il contend that
these various organizations of Chris
tian men and women have right to
petition the senate and maintain their
duty to do so. Of course. we all ap-
preciate that this is a judicial question,
which must be determined by the facts.
but 1t is not an idle question, and it is
properly before the senate. 1t is the
same question that was involved in the
case of the polygamous Roberts, for
whose unseating by the house of repre-
sentatives many petitions were filed.
All the petitioners ask Is that we study
the case carefully before passing
upon it."

VINDICATOR SUPERINTENDENT
AND SHIFT BOSS MURDERED

tary authorities are cooperating In
running down the murderers.
The Mine Owners Association tc-
night issued n statement laying tho
blame directly upon the inner circle OF
the Western Federation OF Miners, and
offering $1,000 reward for the arrest
and conviction of the murderers OF Nc
Cormick and Beck.
From the story told by Master Me-
chanic Sheehan, Superintendent Nc
Cormick while underground in the
morning, discovered something in the
sixth level that aroused his suspicion.
1t is supposed that he saw the dyna-
miters at work as the cage passed the
drift, which has been abandoned for
some time. He came above and sent
Immediately for the shift boss, Melvin
