mulberry WHOLESALE
EVIDENCE OF PLOT FOUND IN
UNION HALL.


Victor, Colo, June Two hemp
ropes knotted with a moose for hang
ing were lying on table in the room
where the Cripple Creek District Mine
Owners Association held a heated dis
cussion today behind closed doors.
The members were greatly incensed
by the recovery of what they regarded
as evidence of the existence Of plot
of the Victor miners union for whole
sale assassinatiohs of mine owners and
miners. This evidence was a bundle
of forty marked photographs found by
Lieutenant Keegan in the union hall.
On the back of some of the photo
graphs was the name of James Coch-
ran, secretary of the union. The pno-
tos were of groups of men employed in
various mines. The most important
one was a group of the night shift of
the Vinidactor.
The photograph contains about 90
portraits. FIVE of which were numbered
from / to 5. On the back were writ
ten the names of the persons number
ed. OF seven names. those of Charles
Mccormick and Mel Beck had been
crossed out. The two men had been
killed in the vindicator explosion last
November.
On other photographs similarly ar
ranged 1t is asserted there are crossed
out the names of some of the men who
have disappeared and whose where
abouts or departure are unknown.
James Cochran was arrested and taken
into the mine owners headquarters
for hearing.
Il do not know anything about these
pictures he said. except that they
were taken to show the scabs. The
marks by the names of the men who
have been killed are mysterious to me-

were taken and cannot tell you any
more about it..
News leaked out today that had
Thomas Christensen been captured
last night. three men would have been
lynched. The plot was arranged and
a special train was standing on .ne
Florence and Cripple Creek track to
carry a body OF men who were ready
in Cripple Creek awaiting signal
Alfred Miller. former marshal, Mike
O'Connell and Tom Christensen were
regarded as ringleaders In the rioting
of yesterday and they were marked for
Iynching on that account. The failure
to capture Christensen was the only
reason the plan was not carried out.
The other two are still in custody and
awaiting the decision of the citizens

Is
Most Of Delegates to MenfncRy Cons

Louisville. KY. June THE Ken-
lucky Democrats will hold their state
convention Tomorrow morning for the
purpose Of naming delegates at large
to the National convention at ST. Loula
and to elect State central and State ex-
acutive committeeman.
Though the delegates are rather
apathetic as regards the presidential
race and are practically certain to
the national convention. the contest for
the control OF the party machinery
promises TO develop into one Of the
hardest fights seen in recent years
On one side are arrayed Governor
Beckham and the administration forces
supporting Lewis McQuown OF Bowl
ing Green for chairman OF the state
central committee. Oposing them Is
what Is known as the ANTI machine
element led by United States Senators
Blackburn and McCreary and Con-
gresham D. II. Smith, supporting Con-
gresham ]. N. Kehoe for chairman OF
the State central committee.
The administration men. when the
contest to organize the convention
comes UP. will present the name OF
Governor Beckham for temporary
chairman. The Administrations oppc-
nents made bold move to-day by an
nouncing that their candidate for tenn
porary chairman will be BENJAMIN
johnson of Nelson. Governor Beck
hams home county. The anti adminis-
tration men claim that q poll of the
Nelson county delegates has shown a
majority against Governor BeciIham.
Although Governor Beckham's sup
porters have a majority OF the In
structed delegates. only about half the
delegates are instructed and pollti-
clans are in the dark as to the real
strength of the opposing forces.
The administration leaders are for
Judge Alton b. Parker and most OF
the leaders OF the opposition are like
wise inclined to the New York man.
but 1t is considered doubtful IL the
leaders will try to force instructions
unless compelled to do so as maneu-
yer to help one side or the other In the
contest for control of the machinery.
Most of the Hearst delegates ara
against the administration, although
several counties endorsed Beckham and
Hearst.
Both sides declared there win be no
compromise. Senator Blackburn,
speaking for the anti administration
forces, said:
1T can be announced positively that
we shall never give up this fight I
would spit in the face of any man who
would intimate or suggest to me to
quit. 1t will be a fight on every prop
ositlon that comes before the conven-
tion. We win win and the world may
know now and forever that in this ems
gagement either 1 or the opposition
will be buried"
State Auditor Samuel w. Hager
speaking for the administration. saidi
TT is an absolute and ironclad csr-
tainty that Governor Beckham's
friends will organize and control the
