SOCIALISM AGAIN
HAS A MAJORITY

Denver. June 6.-The Western FEEDER
alton of Miners on Thursday in con-
vention adopted a resolution re-afiirm-
ing its belief in socialism as a solu-
ton for the ills of the wage Garner
The vote was 125 to 20.
The American Labor Union adopted
a resolution raising the per capita tax
four cents a month for each member
with the understanding that the gen.
eral officers will deliver the American
Labor Journal free to members. This
action was considered practically as
committing the convention to social
ism, as the Journals management is
accused by non-socialists with using it
principally for the dissemination of So
cialist doctrines.
The opposition was waged vigorous
ly by delegates from Butte.
resolution was adopted by the
American Labor Union favoring the
consolidation of the Journal and Min
ers' Magazine, and notice of this action
served on the miners convention.
A resolution to establish an insur-
ance fund was referred to the execu-
tive board. The secretary was instruct
ed to transmit $3.50 to aid the Kansas
flood sufferers.
A new code of mine signals was
adopted, and an effort made to have
1t put in use in all mines throughout
the jurisdiction.
The American Labor Union adopted
a union label which will be used on
all wares and products of its mem
bers
A resolution was adopted authoriz-
ing the executive board to proceed
with the organization of school teach
ers throughout the West.
A committee of fifteen was appointed
to remodel the constitution SO that the
machinery will all be under state and
local control, the latter to be subordi-
nate to tine former instead of to one
general headquarters. The reasons as
cribed were that the new plan will
centralize effort and yield better re-
suits.
1t was decided. after a bitter fight.
TO retain the general headquarters at
Butte.

Washington. June c. President
night from his memorable trip of over
two months throughout the West. He
was given a hearty reception by the
people of the capital and cordially res
ponded to the greetings. He looked the
picture of health. Secretaries Root,
Hitchcock and Cortelyou. Postmaster
General Payne. District Commissioners
West. Mcfarland and Biddle. Com
mander Cowles and Col. Symons, su-
perintendent of public buildings and
grounds, met the president. Com
mander-in-Ch Kimball, with the De-
partment of the Potomac, G. A. R., and
a detachment of Spanish war veterans
under command of Col. Todgson, were
at the station. .ta
The president talked longer with
Postmaster General Payne than any of
the others. the latter throwing his
arms about the president and appar
emily whispering to him.
At the White House a great crowd
had gathered in response to the cheer
ing the president made a brief address.
The run from Pittsburg to Washing
ton was without incident None but
necessary stops were made and the only
speech the president made was at
Altoona, where he addressed large
crowd. Crowds were at the station by
which the train ran and warmly cheer
ed every appearance of the president
on the platform of the car.
The trip just completed has been in
some respects the most remarkable
ever taken. Mr.. Roosevelt and his
party travelled over 14,0O0 miles on rail-
roads and several hundred miles in
stage coaches and carriages, but not an
accident marred their journey. Not five

st. Louis, June 5.-The terrific force
and the destructive magnitude OF the
great flood that is sweeping down the
Mississippi, steadily increasing in vol
ume. surmounting and demolishing bar
riers of protection and greedily lap
ping at property and reaching for lives
as it resistlessly extends farther and
farther beyond the ordinary river con-
fines, is now being felt in st. Louis and
vicinity to a great extent At o'clock
tonight the stage had reached 34.2
feet a rise of seven-tenths of foot
since Z o'clock this morning.
Government Forecaster Bowie to-
night issued bulletin predicting
stage of thirty-five feet by tomorrow
noon. thirty-six feet by Sunday and
thirty-seven feet Monday. The Missis-
sippi north of the mouth of the Mis-
souri, is rising still. but the rapidity
of the rise has been diminished be-
cause of the breaks in levees.
The great Sny levee, which extends
for miles along the Illinois shore from
Hannibal northward broke to-day and
the angry waters went rushing through
the crevasse to devastate thousands of
acres of fertile farming lands Posi-
bly, some lives may be lost. but no re-
ports of loss of life have so been re-
ceived.
Later in the day the flood forced a
passage through the levee at Madison,
Illinois. just north of St Louis. This
levee is fifteen miles long and for days

BIG TAIL POUCH
PURCHASE FRAUD

Washington, June 6.-As a result of
the sweeping investigation of affairs
at the Postofiice Department. Thomas
w. McGregor, clerk in charge of the
supplies for the rural free delivery SER
vice, and c. Ellsworth Upton of Balti-
more, one of McGregor's assistants,
were arrested yesterday on the charge
of conspiracy with Charles e Smith of
Baltimore to defraud the government
in the purchase OF the leather pouches
furnished the rural carriers throughout
the country. Their cases make seven
arrests N all since the investigation
began. Other arrests are expected la
ter.
The story of yesterdays arrests is
best told in the following official state
ment given out by Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow last even
ing:
Thomas w. McGregar and C. Ellis
worth Upton were arrested this after
noon upon warrants sworn out in Bal
timere by Inspectors J. ID. Sullivan and
R. d. Simmons, charged with a con-
spiracy with Charles f. Smith and 9TH
ers, to defraud the United States gov
ernment in the purchase of pouches
from c. f. Smith of Baltimore. The
complaints sets forth that McGregor
and Upton agreed with Smith to obtain
for him orders for many thousands of
leather pouches such as sare used by
rural letter carriers. The price agreed
upon was 80 cents per pouch; the act
ual value was less than so cents. Smith
was to pay to them the difference be-
tween 80 and so cents per pouch 1t is
stated at the department that the act
ual number of pouches which were pur-
chased exceed 10000, for which the
government paid 80 cents each, OF S1S,-
600 in all. Smith received and retained
for this for his own use $4,000. The re-
manning $4,000 was paid to McGregor
and Upton. The government could have
| bought the entire number of pouches
from the manufacturers for $4,000"

Secretary Loeb before the party left
Washington was carried out with mill
tary precision Rarely was the train
late in reaching its destination, not
withstanding that it passed through
the flooded district in Iowa The
health of the president and his party
too was remarkable. Not one member
of the party was seriously i'll and few
calls were made on the physician on
the train.
During the sixty-five days that the
president spent on the road he made
265 speeches and had it not been for
Secretary Loeb's firmness. he would
have made nearly double that number
From the day the president left Wash

changes in his program and for addi-
tional addresses. Int Secretary Loeb in
almost every caan, said no. The sue

The other members of the party also
gave Mr.. Loeb vote of thanks for the
able manner in which he had conducted
affairs.

Like the ancient city of Venice, the

In St Louis the buildings along the

two feet deep on the top of the steam
boat levee.
In South st. Louis fully 100 families
living near the mouth of the river Des
Peres were forced to leave their houses
to-day by the advancing waters. and
many families living in house boats
fed to land for shelter. Men, and in
some cases women, worked to their
waists in the swirling waters, with
ropes and wire cables, anchoring their
homes TO the railroad tracks and to
trees on high ground. Wagons were
backed into the river up to their beds
and furniture loaded in.

and who is reasonably satisfied with

of Defiance Cold Water Starch be
made at once. Not alone because #
is guaranteed by the manufacturers
to be superior to any other brand.
but because each 10c package con-
