DEFENDS WALKING DELEGATES.
Employers Can Get Rid of Them by Treating
Labor as Partner, Cochran Says.

". Bourke Cochran spoke to a large audience at
the Peoples Forum in New-Rochelle yesterday
afternoon THE Conflict Between Capital and
Labor" Mr. Cochran said that there really no
conflict between capital and labor-that it only

tions that exist He denounced socialism a a
fallacy, deplored strikes. and said that they

When Mr.. Cochran was referring to slavery. say
ing that the negro slave took account OF time OF
wages. but only feared the lash of his master. he
interrupted by Captain George w. Lloyd. a
former Confederate spy. and at present the
todian Of the grave of Thomas Paine. Captain
Lloyd shook his locks and shouted That's sou
Half dozen shouted to the captain to sit
down. He finally sat down.
Il wasn't speaking Of the slaves in the Southern
States" explained Mr.. Cochran 'T was speaking
rather of the servile condition OF labor before the
Christian era"
Mr.. Cochran asserted that there was no dis
tnction between capital and labor. that capital
merely stored up labor He continued:

Mr.. Cochran spoke in favor OF walking delegates.
He said that they were hired because labor feared
direct contact with its employers. Usually this
fear had been justified. The way for the employers
to rid themselves OF the walking delegates was TO

reasonable consideration when they came with
grievances. They should realize that every

THE DESERTS DEAD
The Man Found Near Peoria Was
 James M'Elhaney.

The man whose dessicated body was found on the desert northwest of Pe- oria on Wednesday afternoon was iden- tified yesterday as James McElhaney. who disappeared from the Relief mine about the middle of last March. The remains were brought in yesterday morning by Coroner Burnett and the jury composed of H. C. McDonald William Widmer, J. A. Porterie,. Carl Sharp. Peter Mohn and Lee Redwine.
 The wherea bouts of McElhaney had been a mystery and for some time after he left the mine it was feared that he had been lost on the desert. That was at a time of the year. though when there was little danger of dying Of thirst, and as McElhaney was known to be a msn of eccentric habits, it was afterwards supposed that he had gone off into another part of the territory. He had no relatives here or anywhere else, so far as was known. He had new CT been known to write to anybody
 The place where the body was found is only about 700 yards from the road running from Peoria to the Relief mine
 But it is not likely that it would have ever been found in any other circum- stances than those in which it was dis covered. A corps of the geological sur vey is making typographical map of that part of the country and every foot of the ground is being gone over. The body lay on the farther side of a biz Inequite tree. On ore side of it was e large suahuaro and there was one on the other side. There was a further
