MAY START A PANIC.
Damage Suits Being Brought Against
Members Of Unions.
BANK SAVINGS NAY Be DRAWN OUT.


Chicago, Oct. 12.-Three hundred
million dollars in savings banks
throughout the country may be with
drawn as an indirect result Of the re-
cent damage suits against trade union
men brought in Danbury, Conn.,, ac-
cording to estimates made by local la
Dor leaders. Chicago union labor men
predict. a run on the savings banks in
every part of the United States II the
suits In the Connecticut town are de-
cided adversely to the trade union
lists. The cases which have stirred up
the workingmen were brought by en-
ployers against members Of the United
Hatters of North America and the
members Of the executive board Of the
American Federation Of Labor and are
for $4,000 damages. The damage
claim was made because Of the boy
cotting Of certain firm. In this con-
nection the savings bank accounts Of
many Of the defendants were attached,
as well as their real estate.
As the Anti-Boycott association has
brought suit against members Of the
Associated Building Trades Of Chicago
in the Stiles case, the local men fear
that an attempt will be made to tie up
their bank accounts, thus cutting them
off from the ready money needed to lay
in their winter supplies Of coal and
provisions.
Thomas l. Kidd. Of Chicago, secre-
tary Of the Amalgamated Woodwork
ers' Union of America and a member
Of the executive board Of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, who is de-
PENDANT in the Danbury case, estimated
that international unions and $500 To-
cal, state and city central organiza-
tons may start run on savings banks
which he predicts would result in a
panic that would be more disastrous
than the one Of 1893. Secretary Kidd
says that the members of the various
have to their credit In
savings banks more than $500 1000, 900.
He asserts that the individual savings
Of the workingmen throughout the
country aggregate 5000, 10000 and that
the unions themselves have fully an
other 100000, 900 deposited in savings
banks. That this is not overestimat-
ing the amount, he asserts, is shown
by the fact that the United Mine Work.
ers of America alone have 81 500, 900
in their general treasury and the IIli-
nois miners and the international
union Of cigar makers s500, 900 each.
He says each Of the other unions has
from $4,000 to $4,000 in its treasury.
IF this damage suit is sustained by
the higher courts" said Secretary
Kidd, union men might retaIiate By
their funds from the saw
Ings banks. I do not say that any sug-
gestion to this end will come from
leaders in the labor movement. but II
would naturally put the laboring man
On the alert. A local banker Of this
city has already condemned the prose-
cution Of damage suits Of this Kind"

Letter from w. II. Aldrich.

Mr.. EDITOR:
Some persons visited my premises
u nder cover OF darkness, last We'd
nesday night, and apparently tried to
vent spite against me for supporting
the new law and putting out an Amer
lean flag in honor of the victory.
The fact that they brought with
them, and left behind, about bushel
of liquor bottles, indicates the kind
of pee pie who most resent the strict
provisions of the new law, and is fur
Their proof of my previous contention
that the new law is not blow to the
interests of temperance. AS the
Boston Journal of Feb. 9Th says ed1-
torlally, sit would be a mistake to
assume that the interests of real tenn
perance have suffered defeat in the
change which Vermont has just made,
in adopting local option after fifty
years of prohibition"
Let practical temperance people be
sure that live temperance sentiment
will be of great value to the commu-
nifty under the new law. Such was
the effect under the old law, and l
believe it will be no less SO under
the new. Another thing-this is a
local option law, and, while believe
that some of the larger Vermont
towns will in March vote license much
to the betterment of their existing
local conditions, 1 am just as con-
WINGED that Barton has to face no
conditions that call for license, and
this is true of Orleans county towns
so far as l am acquainted with condi-
tions. This talk of voting licenses
everywhere "to make the law odious,'
should find little favor; the law was
made for us to use wisely, not tc
misuse.
Yours very truly,
VIM. r. ALDRICH.

censes in his town. But whether he
wins or loses he is still bound to help
to enforce the law. Do not think
that because you cannot have just
what you want you will not accept
anything else. License must now
have a trial of at least two years.
Let that trial be fair one, and then,
IL the law proves a failure, as many
believe it will, there will be good
reasons for asking to have it re-
pealed.

20 retain the license law for n longer

Waterbury, Conn, has serious
street car strike. The attempt to run

Ex-senator III. L. Dawes Dead.
Henry L. Dawes, former senator of
the United States from Massachusetts,
died at his home in Pittsfield, Mass,
Thursday morning, after an illness of
several weeks. Ex-senator Dawes
had served nine terms in Congress
and his public career was very sue
cessful.
Accidental Shooting.
Capt. George II. Colby, station
agent at Plymouth, N. H., was shot
and killed by Officer L. G. Mills Thurs
day morning while in pursuit of bur-
glars. At an early hour Thursday
morning two masked men entered
the telegraph Office at Plymouth and
ransacked the money drawer, cover
ing the operator with revolvers, and
then making their escape. The oper-
ator quickly notified Capt. Colby,
who boarded an engine and started
ND the P. V. branch of the B. & M. K.
R. Upon reaching Livermore Falls
Colby left the engine. Officer Lewis
had driven from Plymouth, and in the
darkness mistaking Colby for one of
the burglars, fred four shots, one of
which took effect, fatally. The de-
ceased had been station agent at
Plymouth for eighteen years.
Venezuelan Affair Unsettled
The negotiators at Washington

Element respecting the Venezuelan
troubles. Mr.. Bowen for Venezuela
offered the allies 80 per cent. of the
revenues at the two chief ports, the
sums o derived to be divided proper
tionately among all the creditor ma
tions. This was submitted to the
respective governments by their
representatives with favorable rec
ommendation, but the home govern
ments insisted that Great Britain
Germany and Italy should be granted
preferential treatment; that theil
claims should be paid before those o.
the other naUions. To this Mr.. Bower
would not consent, on the groune
that their claims were no more JUS
than others and that it meant pre-

yO ARREST IN DEXTER CASE.
Tho Report That the Rockefeller Place
Is Guarded IL Pronounced False.

MALONE. N. Y, Sept, 2s.-The fall term
of the criminal court for Franklin county
opened here this morning. Sheriff Steen-
berg returned here early this morning from
Dexter Place to attend to his duties at this
court. Regarding the Dexter murder he
said
Il have made no arrest and cannot say
when one is likely to be made, but we feel
sure we will get him in time. We are not
securing the woods for him. We think we
know whom we want, but We must get
evidence. This Is what we are searching
for. have left matters at Santa Clara In
the hands OF my deputies, Max Goodrich
and william Wilson, with whom l am In
touch all the time"
The report that the Rookefellers are
frightened and will leave the Adirondacks
Is absolutely false. William Rockefeller
came to Bay Pond, where his family are,
and spent Sunday, returning to New York
city last night. The family wander about
in the woods as before the Dexter tragedy,
and are perfectly safe In so doing. Stories
of armed guards, detectives, &c.. on the
estate are without foundation.
