THREATENS
THE LIFE Of
ROOSEVELT
The Police Of SYRIA
cuse Arrest a
BOaSter.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SYRACUSE, Sept. 7.-Believing that he
intended to assassinate President Roose-
velt the police this afternoon arrested
John Miller, 35 years old, as he was leav-
ing his home, supposedly to go to Han
over Square, where the President was re-
viewing the parade of the National Asso-
citation of Letter-carriers.
The evidence upon which Miller was
arrested was supplied by Mrs. Philip
Smith and her 15-year-old son, who testi-
fed that they heard him declare: II am
going to shoot the President"
Although no weapon was found on him,
the police believe Miller intended to carry
out his alleged threat. While there is
much secrecy maintained about the case
at police headquarters, it is asserted that
the authorities have been on the watch
for Miller since yesterday morning. They
kept his house under surveillance, but it
was not until this afternoon that they
caught sight of him. Secret Service men
aided in the watch, and from the number
of men detailed on the case it was con-
sidered to be of considerable Importance.
Miller is married and has four children.
He is a German.

CHINA 8 AGED
DOWAGER IS
FATALLY Ill
Death Is Expected
During the Com

Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Sept. IA new and import
ant complication has arisen in Chinese
politics at Peking, according to mail ad-
vices received to-day from Yokohama.
1t consists Of new malady of the En-
press Dowager, a symptom of which con-
sists Of a large swelling under one of her
eyes.
This news was announced in court cir
cles at Toxic last month by Major Watan-
nabe of the japanese legation at Peking.
He stated also that German physicians,
who examined her Majesty, pronounced
a very unfavorabie opinion, expressing
the belief that she could not survive more
than a year.
Watannabe stated that the news had
caused CONSERVATION in court circles at
Peking. but was unknown to the public
generally there. The diplomatists of the
powers, however, have learned of the
serious condition of the Empress and
they have cautiously but assiduously ap-
piled themselves TO the difficult task of
gathering information as to the progress
Of the disease.
The probability of the aged woman S
early demise naturally enough has ex-
cited alarm for in all but in name she
is the unyielding ruler of the empire.
Her death may easily be the opening
wedge for extraordinary changes in which
a great part Of the civilized world may
be involved.

General Davis had not had an opportun-
ity to read the papers in the case and de-
clines to discuss their contents. Every
effort has been made. and thus far with
success, to keep secret the name of the
officer in the presence of whose wife Lieu
tenant Hamilton used improper language
The lady was in no way implicated in the
affair and there is a general desire to keep
her name out of the case.

remarks, but this cannot be verified 1t the

marks this years turnout cannot fail to
give encouragement to the friends of or

Oakland unionists made noble show
ing, placing that city among those which

department of manual work.
NOTABLE ADDRESSES.
The literary exercises at the Chutes in
this city and at Shell Mound were remark
able for the loftiness of thought and the
conservatism of utterance by the various
speakers. Apparently the day of the blatant
/ agitator in laboring circles has passed
Among all the addresses there was not an
utterance that savored of radicalism. The
| speeches were dispassionate statements of
| the high fundamental purposes Of trades
/ organizations of such erudite character
as to do credit to college presidents or
| educated students of deep socioIogicaI
| questions. That they were the product
of men who have made their living by the
work of their hands speaks volumes for
the educational influences OF trades union
/ ism.
| OF the men composing the unions who
took part in the various exercises OF the
day no praise can be too high. They
showed in every action the influence that
fair wages and liberal hours have had on
them They evidenced the dignity which
a clear appreciation OF their own impor-
tance IN the industrial field has disclosed
to them. They indicated a realization
that, having assumed a position Of Inn
portance, IL was their duty to maintain
it properly and that any lapse was not
an individual matter, but a collective in
jury to their Hllow toilers.

IMPRESSIVE DISPLAY.

No finer body Of men of equal numbers
was ever seen anywhere. They were the
toiIers of the people, but nothing OF de-
preston or oppression was visible any
where. Permeating every division. every
line, every individual among the great
mass was that indefnable air Of supe-
riority that accompanies industry and
prosperity. They were typical Of the best
in manhood that the earth has to offer
the Western American workingman.
AS far as the present industrial pros
perity overshadows the conditions OF past
years so far did the parade Of yesterday
surpass that of previous Labor days. Be
tween the present and past performances
on the part Of organized labor there was
no comparison In numbers the turnout
exceeded that of last year; In appearance
il was in every way superior. Distinctive
uniforms of attractive design and appro-
pirate to the various crafts were worn
by the different bodies for the most part.
There was no motley assemDlage Of un-
labeled toilers. Each division, each trade
was readily recognizable.
Impressive beyond the power Of express
sion was this display Of craftsmen who
constitute the productive power Of the
city. 1t was a revelation not only to
those who give scant thought to indus
trial conditions. but even TO the men tax
ing part in the display. Such sterling
manhood and strength. physical and men,
tai, as was shown bespeaks force great
er than that which in past uays has made
and unmade empires and totally changed
political and social conditions.

Mr.. McVeagh regards the situation OF
the case as satisfactory and hopeful.
The members of the court expressed
satisfaction at the American view of
the exalted character of the tribunal as
representing the modern idea of the
humane adjustment of international
differences, instead of the old system OF
a resort to force. Counsel for the other
countries outside the blockading pow

lines of the American argument. When

ests 1t is expected that the further
hearings will last about fortnight.
