The national convention of the Inter
national Bookbinders' union will convene
in the senate chamber of the state capitol
Tuesday of next week, June IA, with dele
gates expected to be present from every
state in the Union.
1t is thought that there will be more
than 100 delegates in attendance, and as
this will be the most important of the
national labor conventions occurring in
the city during the year the local unions
will endeavor to make the event notable
one, both from the standpoint of the dele
gates and from that of union labor.
Arrangements for the convention have
largely been made from local stand
point, those in charge for the local union
being E. B. Lott. chairman, and A. G.
Anderson. d. Ross, L. II. Roth, G. L.
Lang, w. T. Bennelson and c.. F. IIiiler.
In addition to the usual trips to show the
points of interest about st. Paul it has
been planned to bring the convention to a
notable close with a banquet for the dele
gates.
At the opening of the convention the
delegates will be welcomed to st. Paul in
the name of the labor unions by William
Templeman, president of the Trades and
Labor assembly, and Mayor Smith mas
been invited to speak in behalf of the city.
Responses will be made by delegates in
the convention, and regular business will
follow.

BADGER DEMOCRATS
MUST NAME PECK
Oar Reese Believes Strong Man
May Furnish La Toilette
Trouble In Wisconsin

Wisconsin Democrats must nominate
former Gov. George W. Peck for gov
ernor this year if they would keep votes
from going to Gov. La Toilette. La Fol-
lette will win IL the Democrats are not
careful to name popular man to head
the state ticket. a.
This is the view of Wisconsin politics
taken by Oar f. Reese, the st. Paul law
yer and former clerk Of the supreme
court, who has just returned from nearly
a week spent at Madison capital of Wis
consin and the headquarters of both rival
Republican factions.
La Toilette is unquestionably strong
with the masses of the people of Wiscon-
SIM said Mr.. Reese last night on his
return from Madison. 'sfY4s friends claim
that he viii be elected in spite Of the
fact that he has a Republican opponent
for governor and will later have Dem
ocratic competitor for the office
The half-breeds, as the La Toilette
followers are designated by the SpooneF-
Quarles faction of the party, contend that
their candidate is in better shape to wir
the election with a boiling Republican
candidate in the field than he would be
with only Democrat to run against
They argue that the stalwarts would moi
vote for La Toilette at any price and thai
their votes will now go to Cook, the
nominee of the bolting convention, and
will be kept from the Democratic nom
inee.
1.-The present governor has in the last
two campaigns received quite large
Democratic vote. and to keep this vote
from going to him this year the Demo
Gratis must nominate a strong and popular
man. George w. Peck. the Milwaukee
editor and former governor Of the state
is said to be about the only man who is
credited with sufficient popularity to keeI
this vote for the Democratic nominee
and away from La Toilette, and chances
for his nomination are quite favorable.
1.-The Democrats have been fighting the
stalwart leaders for the past twenty
five years and none of their strength viii
under any circumstances go to them
Cook the stalwart, candidate, is a re-
spectacle old gentleman and personally
clean, but while the stalwarts claim tha
he will be elected, few disinterested peo-
pie take stock in their claims. 1t vii
be La Toilette or the man whom the
Democrats are to nominate for governor
and this man, it is more than probable
will be former Gov Peck"

NEGRO USES TEETH
Prisoner Chews PatroIman's
Arm in Desperate Fight

While arresting a negro for creating a
disturbance at the Economy lodging
house. $50 Jackson street, at o'clock last
night, Patrolman Hall was bitten on the
right arm by the colored man, who
fought desperately before being brought
under control.
The prisoner, who gave his name as
J. Turner, entered the Economy and ask
ed to be allowed to see Marie Booker,
one of the patrons, He went to her room
and soon a disturbance arose and the
woman was heard crying for help.
The proprietor, John Asthmussun, call
ed in Patrolman Hall, who attempted to
remove Turner from the place. The
negro, however resisted stubbornly and
when forced into the hail drew a knife
which the officer knocked from his hand
with his club. Turner then resorted to
his teeth and bit piece out of Halls
right arm. The officer was then obliged
to use his club, which he brought down
with full force upon Turner's head with
out apparently producing any effect.
Finally the policeman drew Turner down
the stairs and into the street, where
another fight occurred. PatrOlman Brogan
then arrived and the officers removed the
prisoner to the alarm box and sent him
to the police station.
Patrolman Hall was obliged to have
surgeon dress his wound.

shop agitation, which is just at this time
being urged upon the attention of the
union through the recent reinS tatement OF
a foreman in the government bindery at
Washington, Notwithstanding the protest
of the union. 1t is expected that an ap-
peal will be made to other unions for sup
port in the agitation on the ground that
all labor organizations are equally affect
ed, and that if the "open shop" is en-
forced against the bookbinders it will be
only a question of time until the same
rules are applied as to other unions. All
unions connected with the printing trade
are expected to be first asked to take a
stand on the issue, and the bookbinders
believe that their position will be upheld.
The local condition of the bindery trade
will necessarily come in for consideration,
the local workmen believing that the hold
ing of the national convention in st. Paul
will greatly strengthen their position. An
effort will be made in the convention to
bring about a closer relationship between
the Bookbinders union. and the Bindery
Girls union, there being some talk that
the bindery girls may be admitted to the
Bookbinders union direct, and not be
compelled to maintain "a Separate organ

Despite the large number of high schools
comparatively few young people complete

The graduates were then reminded of the
great service rendered by their teachers-a
service that can not be expressed in or ade-

urged to hold in lasting remembrance

BOTH JAWS SHOT AWAY.
Still a Successful Business Man.

"A man who had both, jaws shot away
had trouble eating ordinary food, but
found a food-drink that supplies the
nutriment needed. He says:
II have been an invalid since the
siege of Vicl<sburg, in 1856, where I
was wounded by MIME ball passing
through my head and causing the en-
tire loss Of my jaws. I was drum
mer boy, and at the time was leading a

that time 1 have been awarded the
medal Of honor from the congress of
the Uniteds States for gallantry on the
field.

form, and L finally proved ordinary
coffee was very hard on my stomach,
so I tried Postum and got better. Then
I tried common coffee again and got
worse. I did this several times and

time, continued to use 1t, and how
often 1 think that if the government
had issued Postum to us in the army
how much better 1t would have been

Coffee constipates me and Postum

JAMES OR TROUBLE
Federation of Labor Delegates
Must Select Candidate

A number Of the ST. Paul delegates to
the State Federation of Labor will leave
for New Ulm Saturday evening, and it is
expected that the last Of the delegates
will have started by the following Sun
day evening. 1t is thought that before
they leave they will have centered on
Charles E. James as candidate for pFesi-
dent Of the federation.
A. H Garfield is the other candidate
from ST. Paul. but an effort is being made
to bring about a caucus that will bind
the St. Paul delegation as a unit, and if
this is accomplished it is believed by the
James supporters that they can get
enough votes to swing the entire delega-
tion. Those favoring the election Of James
are urging that the only manner in which
ST. Paul can secure the presidency is
through a united delegation, and that
otherwise it is almost certain that Mime
apolis will carry off the prize.
1t is claimed in st. Paul labor circles
that Minneapolis has centered on Harry
Dix as the Mill City candidate for the
place. and every effort is therefore be-
to agree to the holding of caucus. Min
neapolis will have more delegates than
ST. Paul, although it will not have as
great an advantage in this line as it pos
sessed a year ago when NJ e. Neary. Of
Minneapolis, was reelected president
Many of the st. Paul delegates who
were seen yesterday stated that they were
willing to go into caucus. and some of
them were in favor of the election of Gar
field, but realize that If they go into the
convention there viii be little hope of sue
cess. The Garfield supporters admitted
that the chances were in favor of James
being the caucus nominee but thought
that all the delegates should be willing
to sacrifice their personal preferences that
ST. Paul may elect the president of the
State Federation fer the first time in sew
eral years.
If it is possible the delegates will be
induced to meet in Federation hall before
they start for New Ulm. The convention
begins Monday. a week from today. and
will be in session three days. during which
time the report of the executive council
will be considered. The more important
features of this report will bear upon
legislation that will be favored in the com
ing winters session Of the legislature.

who was lsr6ng ne 10 Bethesda hospital
Saturday night with three bullet wounds
in his head inflicted by himself in an at

Inglesonss attempt to end his life Sat-

Willis will go to Saltwater after the
prisoner and will see that the young man
is cared for until started for home.
Ortiz a Model Prisoner
At the prison Ortiz has been a model
prisoner. his department being perfect.
Warden Wolfer some time ago sent a
communication to the Washington au-
therities stating that Ortiz had no GRIM
inaf tendencies and that he was a model
prisoner. Although unable to speak the
English language, except what he has
learned in the prison, Ortiz has become
great faYorite at the prison, where he
was employed in the laundry and as d
waiter and cook.
Judge Willis became so interested In
the boy that he arranged to have a
the prisoners confessions, and he pur-
chased for him a set of school books,
printed partly in the English and partly
in the Spanish language, which have been
a great help to the young man in his
efforts. to master the English language.
He has also furnished him Spanish read
ing material, and looked after many other
matters for the young mans comfort.
Ortiz is now tWentyfour years old.
When the boy first entered the prison
five years ago he was a splendid specimen
of manhood but two years ago he COM
menCed to break down, and it is feared
that he has consumption. He still bears
the scars of the wounds inflicted upon
him by the soldiers who captured him.
At that time the sharp point of bayonet
pierced his chin, extending through to the
roof of his mouth, and he had been shot
in the arm.
Judge Willis has had many letters from
the aged father Of the prisoner, in which
pathetic appeals were made to have the
boy returned to Porto Rico, the parents
being too poor to bear the expense. Ortiz
will be brought to ST. Paul upon his re-
lease. and Judge Willis expects that he
will remain here for several days before
starting for his home in far away Porto
Rico. The evidence upon which Ortiz
was. convicted is said to have been en-
tirely circumstantial and there has ex-
listed in the minds of maDg persons a
doubt as to the boys guilt.
