IN MITCHELL'S HONOR.
Great Meeting at Auditorium to Cheer
Mine Workers. President.


Mine Workers President.
Chicago, Feb. 17.-SiX thousand peo-
pie crowded the Auditorium last night
at a demonstration of local labor
unions in honor of John Mitchell, pres
ident of the united mine workers. The
greatest enthusiasm was shown when
Mitchell appeared on the platform,
and a speech later in the evening re-
ceived cheers. The presiding officer OF
the evening, James H. Payne, deliv-
cred a short address eulogizing the
work done by Mitchell and then intro
duced Henry D. Lloyd of Chicago, who
said in part:
There was a louder cry for federal
bayonets in Pennsylvania in 1902 than
in Illinois in 1894, but the cry was not
answered. There was a soldier in the
white house, not corporation lawyer
and the soldier knew of what proper
uses soldiers are.
when Cleveland gave us military
usurpation and government by in
functions, Roosevelt has given us ar
bitration-the bOldest, greatest act OF
recent craftsmanship" After an adj
dress by Clarence S. barrow, Mitchell
spoke.
Mitchell declared that he did not
believe int the trade union as the ulti
mate, or that it's formation was the
final result to be obtained. The work
ingmen of the world are passing
through a period of evolution. He did
not make war upon capital or de
nounce it. He believed there was
never a time in the past, nor would
there be in the future, when the diff
ference between the laborer and cap
italist could not be settled if they
would but come together to tell the
truth to each other. He warned his
hearers that no strike was ever won
by breaking laws.

The police Of the fifth precinct are anxious
to find the rightful owner of twenty-eight
dead chickens which they have at their
station house. corner Of 10th and streets
southeast. and at the same time to learn
the identity of tho two colored men who
dropped the chickens while at the corner of
I'd and @ streets southeast few minutes
before o'clock this morning.
Policeman Collins and Special officer Rom
spies were standing in shadow near the
corner OF "a and G. streets southeast this
morning, when they noticed two colored
men on the opposite side Of the thorough
fare. each carrying q heavy bag on his
shoulder. They called to the men and asked
where they were going at that early hour
In the morning, but instead of making q
reply the colored men dropped their bags
and started to run. One Of them paused an
instant and his hand went in tho direction
OF his hip pocket, and almost instantly he
hred three shots in rapid succession from
a revolver at the officers, but fortunately
neither of the leaden missiles struck hui
man target, although passing through q
lower window Of a residence nearby. The
officers gave chase, but the fugitives proved
to be speedy runners, and were soon lost to
view.
Collins and Ronspies returned to the cor
ner and found the bags. They contained
twenty-eight dead chickens still warm,
showing that they had not long been dead.
The patrol wag.n from tho fifth precinct
was summoned and the dead fowls were re-
moved to the station house, where they are
being held to await Identification.
