Senator Cantrill
He Positively Denies That He Is or
Will BE a Candidate For the
United States Senate.
MORE ABOUT THAT BOOK BILL

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 1S.-In let
tor addressed to Ri Brown, speaker
o. the house, which she speaker read
10 the general assembly toL'ay, Cover

ranted and Vicious Attack" made
upon him snd other members Of the
state administration by Senator j..
Campbell Csntrill, Of Scott county,
in his speech in the seuate "a few days
since.
The executive denounces as untrue
many Of the statements made by SEN
ator Cantrill the chief denial being that
he is seeking TO build mp on legislative
measures = machine TO secure his
election to the United states Senate,
declaring that he is not now. has not
been and will not be two years hence,
a candidate to succeed Senator Black
burn in the senate, but that ne will
serve out to the last day, death not
intervening, his term A. chief execu-
tive TO which the people elected him,
A. he fsals he owes IL TO them not TO
step aside from that duty.
He declares it il his belief that If
the bill recently passed in the senate
bearing Cantrill's name Is fair and
good bill then (Cautrills) support Of
il was due to the action OF the caucus
and 10 the fear of disobeying its
orders"

"The man who commits suicide is
coward.
To his young wife Oscar Weinard
made this avowsl If opinion just
few days before he himself ended his
life.
1t seems that weinagd talked muck
of ths suicide question. Hiswife said
last night that he always talked light
ly of suicide. 1t was the old case of
the sinner who is pearest to a repent
ant surrender, being she- loudest
scoffer.
Weinard was o remarkable man.
His suicide proved it. He was the
Santa Pc engineer who shot himself
clear through the head in front of his
home On Gladys avenue early Monday
morning. His vitality was such that
he walked 200 yards before he drop
ped. Though the brains were oozing
from the holes in his skull life re-
manned in him until nearly 3 o clock
yesterday morning. He died in the
receiving hospital, and the doctors
declared it was one of the most re-
y iarkable cases they had ever heard OF.
The poor little wife is almost pros
tt ated ut the tragedy which has left

in these two plants.
The leatherworkor's union met Ia st

20 walk out" because OF Mr.. Reh-
kopf's refusal to sign up. They
claim the scale presented Ssks for but
little more than thew have been get

proprietor as the proprietor is alleged
TO claim.
Mr. Rehkopf will have not ng
whatever Tn say in regard 20 the J. 1t

to sign mp or not. The leather work
ers have referred all mat ers pertain
ing towards the publicity of their
movements TO Sam Simon, Of the
Labor journal and Pete Schmidt,
president Of the leatherworkers snion.
All that can be secured from these
gentlemen in the way of news, is that
the leather workers have demanded
the acceptance OF new scale end
| Michael Bros and the Paducsh Saddle
company have signed, while Mr.. Reh-
kopf has refused 10 follow the ex-
simple.
A leather worker stated this morn
ing that Mr.. Rehkopf worked twenty
eight men in the collar shops, on Ken
lucky avenue, and forty one in the
harness departments on North Second
street. The men were all lille this
morning, even down to the apprentice
boys.
The demands made on the employers
ask for an increase Of about 10 per
cent on piece work, while the men
who work for regular wages, not by
( the piece, want AN increase Of % per
cent. No demands relative to work

This morning Mr.. Rehxopf was
waited on by committee composed Of
Messrs. Shonberg, of the saddle de
partment; Spitzmiller, Of the harness

immediate settlement Of the matter.
Mr.. Rehkopf told them that he
thought the demands excessive and
would not pay the new scale. The
committee then informed the proprie-
tor that the men intended striking
and he told them to remove their
tools. The leather workers then secur-
ed their tools and left the plants
empty.

bound to each other, and prepared to
proceed to full marriage as soon as the
law permits. The step was found nee.
essary, as many families physically re-
sisted the taking of their men to the

Many Jews who have been taken to

law in Russia refuses to recognize a

New Episcopal Bishop of Mexico.

Houston, Tex, Dec. 14,-The conse-
Grafton of the Rev. H. d. Aves as
Episcopal bishop of Mexico took place
today. The ceremony was the most
brilliant of its kind ever seen in this
city. Christ church, where the con-
secration took place, was crowded long
before the hour set for the beginning
of the ceremony. Prominent among
those who took part in the ceremony
were the Right Rev. George Herbert
Kinselving, bishop of Texas; the Right
Rev. A. G. Garrett, bishop of Dallas;
the Right Rev. ]. s. Johnston, bishop
of western Texas, and the Right Rev,
w. A. Leonard, bishop of Ohio.
The Right Rev. H. d. Aves becomes
the first Episcopal bishop of Mexico.
The necessity for bishop of the south
ern republic has long been contended
for, but it was not until the late Epis-
copal general convention that decisive
action in the matter was taken. Bish-
op Aves will take up his residence at
an early date in Monterey, but he will
make his headquarters and home in the
City of Mexico.
