order here today.
President Mitchell, who was unani-
mously chosen chairman, in addressing
the convention said: 1T is needless to
say that the refusal of the mine owners
to live up 20 the award of the strike
commission is a decided disappoint-
ment TO me. We intend to live up to
the very letter of the award, and there
fore it is not unreasonable for us to
expect the other side TO live up to it.
1T is grave question which con-
fronts you. The time is here when we
must again decide upon a specific poll
cy toward cur employers. 1 might say
for myself that l am hopeful we may
find an honorable way out of the cal
amity The commissions award was
not a great financial victory for us, but
it was a great moral victory. We can

of the Great Northern Railway COM

cry contention made in the cases that

movement to dissolve the Northern Sc

plated. Such a movement would
scarcely be undertaken while my father

VICTORY FOR RAILROADS
In the Missouri Quo Warranto Pro-
ceedings.

jefferson City, Mo-, June 15.-The su-
preme court today quashed the writ Of
quo warranto in the case of Attorney
General Crow against the Missouri Pa
cific, Santa Fe and eleven other rail-
road companies. This is the reconsign-
ment case. Judge Burgess wrote the
opinion, in which he asserts that all
concurred 1t is a victory for the rail
roads in that the court sustained the
plea made by the railroads that this
proceeding was prosecuted solely in
vindication of private rights and re-
dress of gievances, and therefore
it ordered the writ ouashed.
The court holds that a wrong to a
private individual or individuals cannot
be corrected by quo warranto pro-
ceeding. 1t says that the statute pro-
vides ample relief for the remedy of
such private wrongs as are complained
of in this proceeding at the hands of the
railroad ana warehouse commissioners.
and to those commissioners such mat
ters should be referred for adjustment.

Two Men Closely Connected With the

tain Even. the principal witness for
the state in the trial of Jett and White
for murder:
The burning of Ewen's property has
not only caused fear for life and prop
erty, but has also increased general
doubt Of conviction in either of the
pending cases.
The hotel and furniture had been in
sured but only week ago. Even was
notified that on account Of the threat

cided to cancel his policy. The house
and fixtures were valued at S100 900.

BREATHITT COUNTY. KY.

Jackson. Ky. June 15.-Tne second
week Of court in Breathitt county
opened with a reign OF terror. While
the petit jury continued hearing testi-
mony on the murder charge against
Jett and White, the grand jury was
hearing evidence in the cases of Joseph
Crawford and Edward Tharp, team
stars for the HaTgis brothers, who are
held without bail on the charge of ar
son for burning the Even hotel. The
small force of state militia was over
worked again today IL serving sum
mcnses fer witnesesses. The militia
men worked yesterday as firemen and
are engaged night and day for police
duty under the provost marshal
Judge Redwine today divided his
dme between the murder and the ar
son cases. Early in the morning before
court convened he heard the habeas
corpus cases of Crawford and Tharp
and afterward 1T different times ex-
cused the trial jury while he gave in
structions to the grand jury.
IN his address to the grand jury
Judge Redwine charged them TO in
vestigate the burning of Ewen's hotel.
He was very forceiul in his charge,
saying that arson was next 10 assas-
sination and that he wanted the grand
jury to resort to every fair means TO
get the men who were guilty of set
ting fire to the home of Even. He said
it was doubtful if life and property
were ever SO insecure in civilized
country as they are in Breathitt coun-
ty today. Judge Redwine minated
that a special term Of court would be
held to try the charge of incendiarism
if indictments We're found.
The defense in the murder case open
ed with a statement that it would
prove an alibi and introduced both
Curtiss Jet and Thomas White as wit
nesses in their own behalf to testify
that they did not enter the courthouse
until after ]. b. MarCum had been shot
down. Both prisoners made exception
ally good witnesses Tor themselves.
Jett was especially cool and confident
and apparently uncOncerned.

Washington. ID. G., June l5.-The
chief postoffice inspector, Mr. Cochran
today returned from New York, where
he went i'm connection with TIE investi-
CATION OF postoffice affairs. The inves-
tigation officials refuse to disclose the
nature of his mission, but say the pub
iished reasons for his trip are not cor
rect.
Inspectors We're busy today in the
office of the assistant attorney general
for the postoffice department, continu-
ing the overhauling of the records. It
is probable that one of the ultimate
results of the investigation will be the
adjustment of the Office Of the post
Office physician on the grounds that
there is no authority in law for the
employment of such officer. Their en-
ployment at Washington and New
York already has attracted attention.
There are five postoffices in the coun-
try where physicians are carried on
the rolls. The offica OF physician was
abolished in Washington some time
ago. The cities in which postofHoe ply
sicians are now employed are New
York. Chicago, Philadelphia. Brooklyn
and Boston.
The posto1ice inspectors will take up
the case of II. II. Rands, the postmas-
ter generals confidential clerk and at
present superintendent OF the salary
and allowance division of the depart
nent and examine into his connection
with d mining company and the fact
that he was prominently identified
with a concern of which August w.
Machen, the deposed head OF the free
delivery system. was president.
The reply OF Mr. Brist0w 10 the post
master generals letter regarding the
Tulloch charges, together with certain
exhibits relating to the investigation
of the Washington Postofiice. will be
given out for publication on Thursday
morning. These reports We're taken to
the White House today by Postmaster
General Payne, who discussed them
with the president.

would be unsafe TO withdraw all the

tainly result in future and early anar-
chy. Many of the strikers stiu have
arms and there is = great deal OF dis
content. The suggestion Of the day BE-
fore was repeated that either couple
of companies of the national guard or
a troop of United States cavalry should
be kept on the ground for some time
Acting upon this suggestion the act
ing governor communicated with Cen
cral Baldwin requesting that q troop o.
cavalry be left at MOrenci until the
local authorities believe they may b.
safely withdrawn
Acting Governor Stoddard had or
dered the day before that all OF the ma
tional guard except an equivalent OF
two companies be sent home On the
receipt of a favorable reply from Gen
eral Baldwin all OF the guard would b.
ordered home. Most of the members
are business men or clerks or persons
otherwise regularly employed who can
not afford to lose the time required L.
keep up an indefinite guard OF the min
ing camp.
Yesterday evening the acting gov
ernor received a reply from General
Baldwin saying that il is necessary to
withdraw the troops now at Moreno
for the purpose of sending them 70 the
Philippines. General Baldwin added
that he was contemplating sending
troop of mounted cavalry from Fort
Apache TO MCrenci To be relieved from
time TO time by another troop from the
same point. and that MOrenci could be
thus supplied as long as there might
be necessity of guarding the camp.
