TWO B0oDLERS WILL
4 DON STRIPES AT LAST
Julius Lehman and Emile Hartmann
Must Serve for Boodlinq.

with the affirmation of the senten-
cces Of Julius lehman and Emile
Hartmann and the reversal of Million
.aire Robert NJ. Snyder's five-year SEN
tence, the Missouri Doodle record now
stands: Eighteen convictions, acquit-
tails, 8 reversals, affrmations.
Lehman and Hartmann will have
the doubtful honor of being the first
of the st. Louis boodlers to don the
.convict's stripes at jefferson City.
Both were arrested Tuesday on tele-
graphic orders from Maj. j. H. Fink,
marshal Of the supreme court, and will
be taken to the capital some time
this week.
Judge Fox wrote the opinion affirm
ing the sentences Of Lehman and
Hartmann; Judge CAN'T wrote the
opinion which virtually frees Snyder.
There is a vast difference between the
two opinions. One takes UP in turn
each of the objections offered by the
attorneys for the defense, and shows
that the trial court did not err in
overruling them. The other riddles
the court and prosecuting officers
alike, selecting the circuit attorney for
a particularly sharp bit of reproof.
Lehman will serve seven years and
Hartmann six. Both are Republicans.
1t was at the formers house that the
celebrated birthday party" was held,
when the $47,5OO Doodle fund secured
by passing the city lighting bill was
'"cut up" among the members of the
house of delegates combine. Hart
mann, who was present. received his
$25O0 as did Lehman, who acted as
host.
1t is the irony Of fate that Lehman,
the erstwhile whistler and yodler of
the municipal assembly,, the man who
""put the lights on the water tower"
In North st. Louis, escaped a 2-year
sentence for perjury in the Suburban
DEAL through the action of the su,
preme court in reversing his case,
only to have his seven-year. sentence
in the lighting deal affirmed.

ISSUES ORDER FOR
MOVERS RELEASE
Judge Thayer Interposes In strife N
Colorado Mining Fields.

The troubles of the Colorado union
miners, who have been already defeat
ed by the militia under Gov. Peabody
and Gen. Bell, and in their conten-
tions with regard to the writ Of habeas
corpus by recent decision Of the Col
orado supreme court, will be aired
before the United States court Of ap.
peals in st. Louis on July 5, in accord
ance with an order granted by Judge
Amos NJ. Thayer in chambers We'd
nesday. It is the object of the miners,
If possible, to have the controversy
transferred to the federal court, while
the attorneys for the Colorado officials
will strive to show that 1t Is a matter
which does not properly come within
the jurisdiction Of any save the state
courts.
f. F. Richardson, an attorney Of
Denver, Colo, made the application
Wednesday to Judge Thayer for a writ
of habeas corpus for the release Of
Charles II. Meyer, president of the
Western Federation of Miners, who, #
is alleged, is illegally confined in a
stockade or bull pen, at Telluride,
Colo. Judge Thayer issued an order to
show cause why Meyer should not be
released, the writ being returnable, as
stated Tuesday, July 5.
The writ is directed against James
II. Peabody, governor Of Colorado;
Sherman Bell, adjutant general of the
state, and Buckley Wells, sheriff Of
San Miguel county.
The proceeding is the outgrowth Of
the troubles with the union miners in
Colorado. Attorney Richardson holds
that Meyer is held without authority
of law; that he is deprived of his
liberty as a citizen of theUnited States;
and that no specific charges have been
placed against him. The arguments;
which consumed about three hours,
were heard and action taken in cham
bers by Judge Thayer.

RECOVER 633 BODIES

New York: The horror OF the East
river disaster of Wednesday, when the
steamboat Gen. Slocum burned to the
waters edge while carrying about
14OO Sunday.school excursionists from
St. Marks Lutheran church parish
grew in its enormity Thursday as the
work of searching for the dead ana
identifying them was rapidly rushed
forward. The lists show these figures:
Corpses recovered, 633.
Identified dead, 525.
Unidentified bodies, 1O7
Still on the list of missing, 6S4.
Injured in the hospital, $40.
This is after revising the list of mis-
sing by taking off the names OF the
identified dead. If the missing list
is anything like correct, it will be
seen that the fatalities exceed 1000,
but in these missing lists there is al
ways a great margin fer error.

association. It is as follows, in part:
To-day the only questions involved
are the enforcement OF the eight.hour
day, the right OF men to organize in
the unions and to prevent discrimin-
alton against union men of all kinds.
The responsibility for the lawless-
ness connected with the contests rests
entirely on the shoulders of the mine
operators, the Citizens Alliance and
their allies, backed up by the ready
power of the state government. The
responsibility has been place on these
persons and organizations by District
Judge Theron Stevens, who denounced
the military usuTpation in Telluride in
strong language from the bench; by
