Philadelphia Record: There is no
denying the great popularity that is
claimed for President Roosevelt by
his admirers. but there is nothing
more uncertain or transitory than
popular favor. Henry Clay in his day
was more popular than is President
Roosevelt in this. So also was James
G. Blaine; but neither of these pOpu-
lar idols could reach the presidency
by vote of the people.

BAN ON SYMPATHETIC STRIKES
Dominant Labor Union in Chicago
Frowns Upon Hasty Actor

Dominant Labor Union in Chicago
Frowns Upon Hasty Actor
Chicago, March 25.-Sympathetic
strikes launched before the exhaustion
of all efforts at arbitration were de-
nounced by the teamsters' joint coun-
Gil, representing organizations just
now dominant in Chicago labor union
affairs. Resolutions were adopted
foreshadowing the expulsion of any
member or branch body that ventures
on sympathetic strike which has not
been indorsed by two-thirds of the
membership in Chicago. The first or
ganization to feel the joint councils
resentment against hasty sympathetic
strikes Is the Carriage and Wagon
makers union, which quit work Mon
day and was refused aid unless it pro
posed or accepted arbitration of It's
differences. The committee represent
ing the strikers asserted that the
union had nothing to arbitrate and the
answer was made that the teamsters
then had no aid to offer.

Kansas City Police Department
cused of Serious Irregularities.
Kansas City, March 25.-The investi-
cation of the police departm snt, start
ed by charges of crooked work, filed
last week by City Jailer Todhunter be
fore the board of police commissions
ers. has already developed sensational
disclosures and will be pushed.
Todhunter, in his testimony, de-
clared that the jailers have made a
practice of taking money from prison
ers who have any service rendered
them and also have regularly taken
money from a lawyer for throwing
cases his way. Other charges
made during the investigation are to
the effect that sergeant and other
officers at the Central station have
stolen from drunken prisoners. An
other case testified to was that of
prisoner who was released without
trial upon payment of $125 to law
yer, who was, it was testified, escorted
to the mans cell by city detectives.

Textile Workers to Strike.

Lowell, Mass, March 25.-The state
board of conciliation and arbitration
had several conferences here, both
with Secretary Southworth OF the
Lowell Manufacturers association and
representatives Of the unions, but
without definite results. Meetings
We're held by four unions affiliated
with the textile council. The report
from all was as follows: 1--WE have
voted to force the issue and have in
structed our delegates to the council
to do everything in their power to do
the same in the council meeting to-
morrow" By this it is understood
that unless the wage advance is given
the strike order will go into effect
Monday morning.

TRIPLE CINCINNATI TRAGEDY.
Dead Bodies of A. M. Betty, Wife and
Babe Found in Their Home.


Cincinnati, March 23.-There was a
mysterious triple tragedy here at the
home of A. NJ. Betty, local manager
of the Washburn-C Crosby mills of Min
neapolis. The dead bodies of A. M.
Betty, his wife, Lulu, and their boy,
Harry, aged twenty months, We're
found by neighbors. A note written
by Betty was found, in which he ac-
cused his wife OF killing the babe,
and the police think the woman may
have killed herself and babe on &C.
count of domestic troubles. 1t is
stated that divorce proceedings had
been instituted two years ago and
were withdrawn before the birth of
their boy. Betty, it is thought, found
the dead bodies on his return home
and then deliberately took his own
life. The body Of the babe was found
in the basin with no marks on it what.
ever. 1t is thought that Betty took 1t
from the crib and tried to revive it
by turning on the water. When he
found it dead he lay down beside his
wifes dead body to die from asphyx
iation, and in that position thell
bodies were found. The odor of the
gas led to the search that disclosed
the three dead bodies. There is moth
ing to indicate how any of the family
came to their death, except the lines
left by Betty, and the fact that the
gas was turned on. The coroner ant
others think Mrs. Betty was deat
hours before her husband came home
and that tho babe possibly may have
died after he returned
