Importance to Union Men.
PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 2O.-By de-
cision arrived at to-day by President
]. H. Richards, First Vice President
Ewing and Secretary Mahon Of the ex-
ecutive committee Of the American
Mining Congress. the voting Of proxies
by delegates and members will be per-
mitted in the deliberations Of the sew
enth annual session Of that body to be
held in this city during next week.
The decision interprets a constitu-
tional provision Of the congress and is
one Of the greatest Importance, in view
Of the fact that a decision is to be
reached as 10 the permanent headquar-
tiers and also because Of the contest for
the next annual convention. Salt Lake
City delegates have wired home for 500
proxies TO be voted in the contest for
permanent headquarters.

habilitating barracks to be entirely
separate from the slaughter-houses.
Arrangements were made to bring in
tents TO cover every available vacant
spot for the same purpose. Small cir
Gus tents were sent for to meet the
emergency.
Swift's car shops were soon taken
possession Of by mechanics, who began
fitting up the plants bunkhouse, and
the same was done with other build
ings, apart from the killing depart
ments.
Every effort was made to prevent a
stampede Of non-unionists. The pack
ers declare 1t was successful and that
the exodus was not greater than is
usual on Saturdays.
Union pickets reported that the de-
sertions were heavy and that the non

ALAMOSA, Colo, Aug. Ex-senator
T. NJ. Patterson, who, at the request Of
the Secretary Of the Interior, went to
the reservation of the Southern Ute In
dians to interview them on the PROPOSE
tion for the purchase of the cliff dwell
lers' ruins in the Mesa Verde country
for the purpose Of converting the sec
ton into a national park, reports a
complete failure Of the project. The
Senator says the Indians absolutely re-
fuse to treat with the Government, be-
cause they declare they have been so
badly treated in the past. They in
formed him that in 1896 they had en-
tered into a treaty with the Govern
ment and sold certain lands and the
Government agreed to bring water on
to their reservation.
They declare the Government has
failed to do this. They also complain
of the rations they receive. They told
the Senator they would act as soon as
the Government carried out the prom
ises made in the treaty above referred

attempted the ascent of Mount Hood.
She went to the summit with another
party of fifteen.
Miss Webb had not expected to make
the trip to the summit, so had little
time to prepare for the journey. In
her hand she carried one cheese sand
wich and that, with pieces Of Ice which
she picked up on the way, constituted
her rations for the day.
"One cheese sandwich is a pretty
short ration for a mountain climber.
and if 1t had not been for the ice 1
am afraid I should have been ex-
hausted," said she. when we ar
rived back at the snow line, my father
was there with a pot of coffee. and if

INNOCENT
Man TWICE
CONVICTED
Great Britain Makes
Cash Payment for
Wrong.
Special Cable to The Call and New York
Herald. Copyright. 1904. by the New York
Herald Publishing Company.


LONDON, Aug. 2O.-That the much
vaunted system of police Identification
at Scotland Yard can send an innocent
man to penal servitude for a long term
of years is a fact that has been rudely
brought home to the British people In
the case Of Adolf Beck.
AS compensation for the gross mis-
carriage of justice IN the conviction Of
the unfortunate Swede, first in 1880 and
again in 1896, the Treasury has granted
him the sum of $4,000.
All England is discussing the dispar-
ity between the suffering inflicted by
the law on a man guiltless Of any
wrong and the compensation offered
when the mistake was discovered.
The conviction was not merely an ex-
traordinary case Of mistaken identity,
but Beck was the victim of a conspir-
acy to procure the conviction Of a pris-
oner by suppressing facts which would
have insured his triumphant acquittal
The fact is clear that Beck was orig
inally convicted Of stealing rings from
unfortunate women, largely because II
was believed that he was a certain
John Smith, who had been convicted in
1877 of the same offense under exactly
similar circumstances. Yet while his
identity with John Smith played pre-
ponderant part In the evidence against
him it was ruled out of court and the
prisoner was not allowed to prove OF
establish an alibi.
Medical evidence was also forthcom-
ing to show that while John Smith was
a Hebrew, Beck was not, but all thai
the Government did In the light Of this
fact was to remove from Beck's prison
garb the lettering which stated "pre-
vioNs conviction"
