JACK GRAHAM SPEAKS OUT.

The morning when the hunting par
ty had so unhappily terminated on the
slope of Tom Custer, proved to be the
turning point in Molly'S relations with
the camp.
The Kid forgave her in two hours,
but her troubled conscience would not
let her forgive herself. Therefore she
was irritated with the Kid. There
fore her old innocent joyful trips into
the hills in his company suddenly came
to an end. That is good psychology;
not good sense.
With the first realization of evil,
slight though it was, her moral ma
ture began the inevitable two-sided
argument She was no longer naive,
but responsible. AS a consequence her
old careless, thoughtless manner of
life completely changed. In the begin
ming she had come full of confidence
to subdue a camp Speedily she had
discovered that it was not worth the
trouble. and that she infinitely pre-
ferred to play out in the open with
the winds and sunshine and the di-
verse influences of nature. Now a
subtle, quite unrealized sense of I'M
worthiness. drove her back to desire
for human sympathy. the personal re-
lation. This personal relation took the
outward form OF an enlargement with
Cheyenne Harry. complicated by her
intellectual admiration for Graham.
From the FIRST Cheyenne Harry had
possessed for her "a certain fascinati IN
which had distinguished him from the
rest OF the men by whom she was sur
rounded. II had dated from the ever
ing when he had kissed her. AZ the
time he had been shown his place
swiftly and decisively enough, but n
was "a forceful deed, such as women
like. and rs impression had remained.
Besides this. Molly's spirit WAS inde-
pendent. she respected independeuec lea
others. and he with the exception Of
Graham, was now the only man Do

 There was a strong feeling among
 the anti Miller legislators that there was possibility of a white wash. and steps were taken to increase the com mittee in such q manner as to have the speakers appointees in a mlnor- ity if anything in the line of a white wash should be attempted. The Miller men fought hard to retain the commit tee as originally appointed, but were outvoted, and the report of the com mittee was made a special order for next Tuesday morning.
 At the same time a subpoena issued for George w.

AMERICAN FEDERATION
 HAS STARTED k STRIKE
To Tie Up Railroad Constr uction in
 Southern California.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 24.-The first steps were taken today to inaugura ta a strike of the railroad construction gangs employed in Southern California on the various electric roads now builti ing. The strike is the continuation of five weeks agitation among the Mexi- can peons, who constitute the construc- ton crews. About 3,G0O men are said to be affected.
 Today at noon demand was made upon General Manager Randolph of the Pacific Electric railway and General Manager Muir Of the Los Angeles rail way for a raise in wages to 20 cents an hour for ten-hour day. The workInen have heretofore received s1.50 and S1.7 per day. The demand was refused by both companies and the strike declared on. The leaders of the Mexican Fed eral Labor union and officials of the American Federation Of Labor, which has assisted in the organization of the MeXicans, declare that construction in Southern California will be completely tied up and that steps have been taken to picket the southern counties to pre- vent the importation of more men. The majority of the peons are ignorant Mexicans of the Cholo class, who have been brought in from northern Sonora in large numbers.

Washington, April 24-By direction of the secretary of war, Judge Advo- cate General Davis today addressed a letter to Brigadier General Funston, refusing his request for court ot in quiry to investigate his conduct in the Philippines.
 The text of the letter is as follows: T have to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 1.th ultirlo, in which you request that a court Of inquiry be appointed to investigate al- legations in a letter addressed to the president by Herbert Welsh of Phila- delphia, in which it is charged that on or about Feb. 10, 1899, certain orders in respect to the treatment of prisoners of war were given by you 10 the regi- ment of which you were at that time the colonel, as q consequence of which two prisoners of war were put to death during the progress Of an engagement with the enemy at Coloocan, province Of LuZon, P I. by officers or enlisted men of the Twentieth Kansas Volun- teers''

gratified at the disposition manifested by you to waive all technicalities which stand in the way of a thorough inquiry and with the statement with which your letter concludes, that if a court oi inquiry finds that I gave any orders before the enga agenent at Coloocan or before any other engagement in which participated iD the Philippine islands that would justify the giving of no quarter, that l will at once resign my commission in the United States army
 "The matter has already been made the subject Of official investigation upon three separate occasions. Iii one of these Investigations which occupied sixteen days of continuous examina- tion, an officer authorized to admins ter oaths to witnesses and exercising his authority wherever necessary, eX- smired over 2G0 witnesses. Neither in that or any other investigation was there any testimony elicited showing or tending to show that orders directing the concentra ting of prisoners Of War had been given by you at any time, or in any circumstances; Cn the contrary, the evidence leaves no reason for doubt that the charge was without founda- ton.
 The secretary is therefore of the aD- inion that the public interests will not be served by further prosecution Of the inquiry and directs that you be so advised"

SpanishAmerican War Veterans Are Trying to Have Him Restrained.

Lancaster, Pa, April 24.-A prelim- mary Injunction was granted today ol petition of the National Association of Spanish American War Veterans against William c. Lfller of this city, restraining him from selling goods and chattels, badges, blanks and papers as the alleged adjutant general of the association of Spanish-American War Veterans
 The petitioners say that Liller was appointed adjutant general in 1901 and that charges were preferred against him prior to the Indianapolis encamp- ment in September, 1902. That a court martial was appointed to try him, and before a trial was held Liller resigned. It is further stated in the petition that after the adjournment of the conven- ton, Liller, without authority, issued a call for q convention in Washington, and in compliance with the call had himself elected adjutant general" The petitioners aver that he retained pos session of the books, papers, badges, etc, of the association, and acting on his fraudulent election still retains them, and has illegally copyrighted forms and blanks belonging to the as sociation."
 Also that he continues to receive the mail addressed to the adjutant general, is fraudulently receiving and misap- plying the funds intended for the as sociation, and not for himself that he was short in his accounts and that without warrant he organized a ladies auxiliary and had his wife elected to office therein and is soliciting and se- curing money under shelter of her name and has misapplicd these funds will fully"

 MT. Baer said he never believed there was an intention to build the railroad projected by Simpson and Watkins. It first occurred to him to buy up all the stock of the Temple Iron company when he wanted the iron company 5 charter to buy the Simpson and Wat kins coIlieries. MT. Watkins, he said, had a scheme to establish Q great freight company in New York to buy and sell coal and consolidate the differ cnt sales agencies with one company. The witness said in reply to Q question that he wanted to head off the pro- posed independent railroad It would have hurt his companies and the pub lie because the cost of carrying coal would have been higher. If like condi- tions arose again he would advise his stockholders to do again as they had done.
