Plan 10 ~|forf Hanna
Boom in the South

Norfolk, Va, Nov. Ex-senator Han
mas boom for the republican nominal
ton for presidency has been started
in the south through the mails and
hundreds of circulars and newspaper
clippings have been received. The
circulars do not state who is at the
head of the Hanna mail bureau, but
local republicans think they are party
leaders, who are hostile to Roosevelt.
The literature received here was
mailed from Cincinnati and Cleveland,
and the clippings tell of the great
service Hanna has rendered the par
ty, while the circulars recite that the

senator has declared that he is not a
candidate, but that no man has ever
refused a nomination made by con-
vention The circulars further state
that should a spontaneous and univer-
sal call come from the party, the sen
ator would respond. 1t is said the
senator's friends are desirous that
his boom should begin outside the
state of Ohio. The proposition is
made that the south should start the
ball and Ohio would furnish the can
didate. a further proposition is that
Hanna clubs should be formed
throughout the south.

UNION ARRAIGNED
As Murderer of Two Men in Mine
Shaft at Cripple
Creek.
INTERNAL MACHINE EXPLODED
Western Federation of Labor Denies
There Was Criminal
Intent.

Cripple Greek, Colo, Nov. 23.-Sher-
lff Robertson, after investigating con-
ditions in the sixth level of the Vim
dicator mine, where Superintendent
Charles Mccormack and Shift Boss
Beck We're killed by an explosion, coin
cides with the statement of the officials
of the company that deliberate at
shaft with dynamite. Mccormack and
Beck were descending the shaft alone
in a cage when at the sixth level the
explosion occurred, wrecking the shaft
and killing both men. An examination
led to the conclusion at once that an
internal machine had been set at the
opening into the sixth level.
Details of the Deadly Scheme.
The Internal machine, containing
many pounds of dynamite, had been
placed in the sixth level, which is part
of the abandoned workings of the mine
within few inches of the shaft Then
a loaded revolver was fixed in the
shaft with it's muzzle pointing direct
ly toward the internal machine. To
lA4C lllSSC4 VI lLC NCl was az
tached Il string, which was thrown
across the shaft i'll such a manner that
the revolver would explode when the
descending cage struck the string, the
bullet striking the internal machine.
Pieces of this revolver were recovered
from the bottom of the shaft, but not
u vestige of the Internal machine could
be found.
Western Federation Is Accused.
The active committee of the mine
owners and operators association has
offered reward of 5000 for evidence
leading to the arrest and conviction of
the perpetrators. In a published state
ment the committee says: The killing
of Superintendent Mccormack and Mel
vim Beck was one of the most diaboli-
Cal crimes that ever darkened the an
nails of Colorado. and is another step
in the trail of blood which has been
made by the Western Federation of
Miners in this state. The time has
passed for selecting fine terms in
which to speak of these matters, and
we do not hesitate to say that this
crime was devised and executed by the
"Premeditated Murder" They Say.
This statement is made only after a
careful investigation of thefactS, which
show cOnclusively that these men met
their death through u scheme so cum
ningly devised and carefully executed
as to tax the ingenuity of the most
experienced criminal. OF late the dis
trict has been filling up with the class
OIL men who openly boast of what they
propose to do. Not a single circum-
stance surrounding this crime is COM
patible with the theory of accident,
and with any other theory than that
of premeditated murder"
Federation Says 1t Was Accidental
The district executive committee of
the Western Federation of Miners
characterizes the explosion as u ia
mentable accident regretted by ALL"
and adds: But prejudiced individuals,
who rarely know anything what they
talk about, have already passed judg
ment and denOunce it as q cold-blOoded
murder Experience teaches, however,
that these people are not above max
ing capital out of any public misfOrt-
une."

Panama, Nov. 23.-General Victor
Salazar, formerly governor of the de-
partment of Panama, who during the
last revolution was supreme com
mander of all the Colombian forces on
the isthmus, has been requested to give
his opinion concerning the present
trend of affairs on the isthmus. and
telegraphs as follows from PaImira, in
the department of Cauca: Il consider
the movement unworthy and unpatriot-
ic. I deplore it deeply because in
