A FIENDIsn CRIME
hexicans Murdered Ed Porter for a
 Bottle of WhisKey.

| Mir. F. F. Coleman of Prescott arrived
 here yesterday from Pinal county, and
 brings some of the details of what seems to be the most brutal murder
 that has occurred in Arizona for long time, if indeed a parallel case can be
 found in the criminal records of the tlrritory
 h lonely mountain canyon of the Glla river, above Dudleyville,, Ed Por- ter was killed for a bottle of whis-
 key his head mutilated, his throat cut
 and the body disemboweled by Jose Maj tinez, a Mexican and Jose Carson, a half breed. Happily the men have made full written confession and are now in the Florence jail.
 Ed Porter was a blacksmith in the elnploy of the Arizona Eastern Railroad company at a construction camp in the Gila canyon. There is a little saloon some distance away from the camp and over the line in Gila county, that it is sai6, is conducted without a license. SAtui cay night after finishing his days work Porter and others very foolishly and unfortunately went to this saloon. 1'heie Porter met a number of Mexi- cans that he knew, among them the two who later murdered him. What occurred at the saloon has not been re-
 
 trouble for the Mexicans bought a quantity of whiskey' which they gave to Porter, requesting him to carry it back to camp for them. At rather late hour, Porter the two MeKicans and two other Americans started back to camp, which is some miles away. Af- ter traveling some time the two Amer jeans who were witn Porter got tired with their long weary walk and as there was no work at camp the next day, Christmas. they decided to stop on the trail for the night. According ly they built a big fire and lay down Porter, Carson and Martinez centinu- ing on the trail toward the railroad csln,p. When they reached a lonely place in the road the Mexicans hit Potter over the head, then cut his throat and mutiIated his face. Find ing they had killed him they sought some means of disposing of the body. They dragged it to the river and then to keep it from rising when submerged the corpse was diseTnboweled.
 Porter's absence was noted on Sun day but there was no apprehension con corning him until Monday morning when he Jailed to show up for work. A eearch party then went to look for him and succeeded in locating the scene of the murder and from there it was easy to follow the trail made to the i.'ver by the dragging of the dead body. The body was found in the river and taken out and the authorities of Final county being more easily avail atle. were notified. Officers came at once and a half dozen suspects were soon after taken into custody. After more or less sweating. Martinez and Carson made a full confession which was put in writing and they were taken at once to the Pinal county jail in Flor ence to await the action of the courts.
 So far as known Porter has no rela- tiVcs in Arizona, though he was quite well known having previously worked for Grant Brothers. railroad contrac@ tors, and at the Tonto dam.

Although the various available candi-

to the effect that the contest is entirely
open, and the outcome impossible OF pre-

Important private business is assigned

DESIRES TO IMPRESS STRONGLY IDEA OF INDIVIDUALITY

Boston. Mass. Jan. 22.-Senator Marcu.
A. Hanna of Ohio contributes to the Feb
ruary number of the National Magazine
published in this city. a timely and force
ful article under the caption of Socialism
and Labor Unions.'
1t embodies in concrete form some o,
the conclusions drawn by Senator Hanna
from his observations and experience ir
business and politics. and in a measure
outlines his life work and indicates his
personal ambition.
After expressing his belief in the power
of education over the American people and
declaring that the basis of right success
is fairness and justice. Senator Hanna
writes:
There is no more engrossing question
than that of the relation between labor
and capital. which seems the paramount
issue to-day.
1.-The instinct of workingmen to band to-
gether to protect themselves is no more
to be wondered at than the same instinct
when shown on the part of capital. Now.
my plan is to have organized union labor
Americanized in the best sense. and thor
oughly educated to an understanding of its
responsibilities. and in this way to make
1t the ally of the capitalist, rather than a
foe. with which to grapple.
'Tt is often asked what Is to become OF
the nonorganized consumer if an AMIGA
BILE alliance is made between labor and
capital. But every man belongs to the
one or the other group; for that matter.
he is likely to belong to both

people will sustain policy. based upon

Civic Federation. Senator Hanna writes:
Until within 4 comparatively few
years. big capitalists. or the employing
interests, have had the advantage, be-
cause there were more workmen than there
was work. But conditions have changed,
and for every workman. on an average.
there are two jobs now in the heyday of
our prosperity; and 1t is expecting too
much of human nature to suppose that
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1904-01-23

| workingmen shall not desire a largel
share Of the profits.
| Has not this motive been the stimulat-
ing incentive Of the men who are manag
| ing business affairs? No one who is ac-
| ouainted with union labor for the last five
years can fail to recognize the wonderful
| advancement that has been made in con-
| servative, ceol-headed and thoroughly
practical management of these matters by
| the workingmen themselves.
UNIONS NOT ALWAYS WRONG.
Labor organizations may be open to
sharp criticism at times, but it cannot be
fairly stated that they are always wrong.
If every man is treated as man, and an
appeal made to his heart, as we'll as to his
| reason, 1t will establish bend of con-
| tdence as a sure foundation to build upon.
While labor unions may have been a curse
to England, l believe that they will prove
| a boon to our own country. when proper
basis of confidence and respect is estab-
lshed.
THE menace Of to-day. as I view 1t. is
the spread of a spirit of Socialism, one of
those things which is only half under
stood. and is more or less used to infiame
the popular mind against all individual
initia ative and personal energy. which have
been the very essence of American prog
ress.
There is a spirit of cooperation or
community of interests which some people
may confound with Socialism, that is
making headway with us; but when any
one attempts, for political or financial rea-
sons. to advocate the whole programme
of European Socialism he will find little
prospect of the seeds taking roo. IN Amer
Jean soil. This. / think. was demonstrated
very conclusively in the Ohio campaign
where higher Socialism was brought forth
as an issue.
NO ISM" WANTED.
Fairness and justice will never agree to
the confscation of the products OF Cne
mans toll In order to insure comfort to
the idle and worthless. No ism Is wanted
by the American people that viii take
from any citizen the just and equitable
reward of his labor.
Both capital and labor must yield in
time to the great law of fair dealing, man
to man. 1 wish could impress upon every
American the Individual responsibility that
rests upon each one of us. Every year of
