ANOTHER SCHEME BUSTED
C~SlicagO's Plan For IL "Sane Fourth
of July" Falls Through For
Lack of Funds.

Chicago, June 12.-The project insti-
tuted by the Chicago Amusement as
ISOLATION for the celebration of a
"Sane" Fourth of July, by subscription,
has been formally abandoned at a
meeting held for that purposes. The
funds raised were insufficient. The
plan included free fireworks by the
children, under the supervision of ap-
pointees of the association, with ply
sicians and the fire department neal at
hand. Col. George Fabyan, president
of the association, declared the people
of Chicago were illiberal. The direc-
tors asked for $4,000. The amount
subscribed slightly exceeds $4,000.

WILD CAT INSURANCE.
Underrround Doing a Good
Business on The Pike at IN
worlds Fair.

1t is not unlikely that Insurance SUI
p%erintendent R. G. Yates will be called
upon to investigate a number OF so
called wildcat insurance companies
which are said to be operating extern
sively on The Pike at the Worlds
fair. For some weeks umerou IN
quiries have been made at the offices
of various insurance companies in st.
Louis for information about alleged
fire risk concerns. Upon investigation
it is said, these concerns were found
to have no standing in insurance
circles.
That a large number of these COM
panies are operating on The PKG is
evident from the lack of demand for
legitimate insurance. 1t was anticl-
pated before the opening of the fair
that the demand for insurance would
be greater than could be supplied.
That demand has never m~ateriallzed.
The reason given was that the rate
demanded by the responsible COM
panies was too high. Then, too, an
Objectionable feature seemed to be the
diminishing clause. The wildcat COM
panies, or their underground brokers,
as they are popularity called, have been
successful in their operations, it is
said, because in their contracts both
these Objectionable features have been
eliminated.
The problem presented is by no
means an easy one to solve. The I'M
foreground brokers, if their operations
are conducted through the mails, are
safe from the insurance commissioner.
The only remedy appears to be a pros
ecution for fraudulent use of the mails.
If, however, the broker personally OBJ
tains the policies, he is within the
jurisdiction of the commissioner III
der the law prohibiting the selling of
insurance without a license. The in
vestigation is 'hampered by reason of
the fact that the concessionaires in
many instances refuse to reveal in
what companies they are carrying in
surance
The result in the event of a disas'
trous conflagration is obvious. The
wildcat companies would resort to the
simple expedient of disappearing. So
long as no fire breaks out the conces
sionaire is happy in his apparent Sc
curity, and the underground broker
reaps the profits.

Answers Kansas City Industrial
Council in Sarcastic Vein.
DEFENDS HIS PRESENT COURSE
Declares That the Strike Was Arbf-
trarily Called by Executive Com
mittee Against the Protest of
Cripple Creek Miners.

Denver, Col, June i'll think the
war is nearly over" said Gov. Peabody
Monday. 81 have news from Gen. Bell
that the Cripple Creek mines are open
and are running, and there is compare
lively little disaffection among the
men. There is no news of further
trouble or any likelihood of any.
q do not know how many men will
be depofted or that any will be. have
heard nothing on this point.

of Telluride, that the union there con-
slider that their cause is lost, and that
those of them that are acceptable 10
the mine owners are already at work
again. One hundred and fifty capable
men, whether union or non-union, have
been invited to go to work, n h

Troops have been ordered from Las
Animas county, and only Maj. Hill re-
mains to lcok after the closing up OF

Gov. Peabody sent the following re-
. ply to a message he received from the
! Industrial council of Kansas City con-
Gemning his action:
Denver, Col, June 10, 1904.
81. J. Pickett, Secretary Industrial
Council, Kansas City, Mo-:
THE fact that your council indorses
the assassins, trainwrecking and dyna-
hitting by the lawless element in
the Cripple Creek district but proves
the necessity of my present action in
suppressing all such from the soil OF
Colorado. Become wise before you at
tempt to teach.
(Sigued.)
JAMES H. PEABODY, Governor"
Gov. Peabody also sent the following
dispatch in reply to a request OF an
eastern newspaper for a statement OF
his reasons for permitting Colorado
troops to dump 80 union miners on the
Kansas line, leaving them destitute on
the prairie, miles from habitation:
1.-The reason for deporting strikers
and agitators from Cripple Creek was
the dynamite outrage of June 6, where
by ii non-union miners were killed
and the subsequent street riots and
killing of two non-union miners by the
same element. Suitable provisions
were sent on the same train with the
agitators. No cases of hunger or suf-
fering reported. The constitution OF
Colorado commands the suppression of
insurrection by such means as are nee
essary. The statement published from
headquarters of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners to the effect that the
present strike was called by referen-
dun vote and for the purpose OF estab-
fishing an eight hour day is erroneous
and false. The strike was arbitrarily
called by the executive committee OF the
Western Federation Of Miners, and
protested against by three-fourths of
the miners in the Cripple Creek dis
trict. The eight hour day had been
established and recognized for ten
years past, and employer and employed
were satisfied and working in har-
mony.. Rioting, dynamiting and an
archy has had its day in Colorado"

Mothers Tears Cleared Son.

The tears of Mrs. Mary Ulrich as she
pleaded on the witness stand in Judge
Taylor's court, in st. Louis, for the life
of her son, Emil Ulrich, aged Is years,
who shot and killed his father, Conrad
Ulrich, at their home, on April 10 last,
had the effect of causing the jury to
bring in a verdict of acquittal, after
celebrating hardly five minutes. The
youth, according to the testimony had
shot his father while defending his
mother. The father had arrived hoNe
at a late hour, and angered because
supper was not in readiness, had at
tackled his wife with a butcher knife.
The son, coming into the room at the
time, secured his fathers revolver and
emptied the contents into his body.
