LAWSON SEES VICTORY
Declares He Has System Where 1t
Can Not Escape.

Boston, Dec. 20.-In a cablegram to
the London Daily Express, answering
the publications query as to why
Standard Oil is keeping up the price of
copper metal, Thomas ". Lawson de-
clares he has been assured Of sufficient
additional backing to beat Rogers and
his following.
why is Standard Oil keeping up the
price of copper metal? you ask me, -
said the cablegram. 1T is a simple
question to answer. Standard Oil IS
the greatest public thief there has been
since man dropped his tail.
Secretly finding the metal, from
natural causes, was going to break to
the lowest price ever reached, and for
standard Oil. being loaded DOWN with
500, 100000 copper stocks, inaugu-
rated a campaign to get out.
1T first bid up the metal, then the
stock, then it started to unload by con-
solidating into the American Smelling
company with the idea then to unload
smelters if possible upon the public.
1t can succeed so far as bidding up
the price of the metal and the stocks
is concerned, but owing to my public
crucidxion of the system the public
viii not take the stocks. Gamblers
pure and simple have taken some, but
the people will not touch them.
Now, I have the Standard Oil
crowd where 1t can not escape and the
crash will be awful. Banks and trust
companies are loaded with stocks and
metal receipts at high prices. The
price of metal is of no consequence
to the Standard, as it can lose cents
a pound on 50s00O,00O pounds and not
feel it in comparison with the profits
on the stock if it can unload.
There is no uncertainty in the plan
of my campaign, but there was as to
whether have enough money to live
been eliminated, as have received ad-
ditional offers of capital should my
$500 600 pool be insufficient. I know
their hand to the letter. They know
mine so well that they would pay mill
lions for me to quit. I would not quit
for the united kingdom
Il want the honor of destroying alb
sOlutely the most hellish brand of rob-
bers since Adams day. and I'll have
that honor the day the world knows
what L do. From that day forward the
price of copper metal is to be from
legitimate causes, for all time, below
10 cents. The sun is just rising on
that day.
Europeans interested in the metal
should keep this before them. The

THREE KINDS OF DEATH.
Faced by Men Buried 40 Feet Deep in
the East River Tunnel

New York, December 20--Two men
buried 40 feet deep in a tunnel facing
death in three different forms-by
starvation. suffocaton or drowning
and about $500 of their comrades a
few feet above them digging against
time to save their lives was the situa-
ton today at the Pennsylvania railway
tunnel in Long Island City. For more
than 80 hours these two W0rkmeu
have been entombed in this tunnel by
the cavern of its mouth, and it is by
no means certain that there are only
two men buried The police of Long
Island City say there are six.
The tunnel IS being built under the
river bed. They are sealed up in the
approach under Long Island City and
it is reported that the waters from
the river which now I'LL the part Of
the tunnel directly under the river bed
Is kept back from them by the force
of the compressed air continually
pumped into their prison chamber
The Workmen assert that the water
must have flowed into the part of the
tunnel where their comrades are
buried and that they have saved
themselves from its rise by climbing
upon ledge of rock near the roof of
the tunnel
The rescuers are sinking a forty foot
deep shaft straight toward the roof Of
the tunnel as near to the place where
the WOrkmen are supposed to be as is
possible to estimate. If this shaft Is
not very close to the men there is dan
ger when it at last pierces the cement
roof that all the work viii have been.
in vain, that the compressed air which
will be released Will allow the water
to engulf the men before their COM
rades can take them out
The life shaft was 80 feet deep to-
day but there were still about 10 feet
of solid concrete forming the roof of
the tunnel to be pierced. This was
the work of several hours involving
the use of dynamite to expedite it if at
any time the signals Of the buried men
became faint and indicated that some
thing had gone wrong in their tunnel
chamber. They signalled necessarily
by rapping on the iron pipes through
which air is being pumped to them,
Watching every move Of the diggers
from the mouth of tffe life shaft last
night was Mrs. Frank Gale. the wife
of one of the men believed to be in the
tunnel. Today she was Joined by her
four children to watch the final
piercing Of the tunnel.
What will be done at the moment
when the tunnel roof is opened has
caused the workers much worry. It
has been planned to have divers ready
to enter the hole if the water rises too
high and at least be prepared to drop
a boat through the opening in case
the men are not near enough to be
reached by any other means.

JUDGE HAYDEN A CANDIDATE
He Asks to Be Renominated to Office
of Probate Judge.

r. F. HAYDEN has announced his can
didacy as probate judge Of Shawnee
county, subject to the Republican
primaries. Mr.. Hayden it is claimed is
one of the few men who have held office
in this county and have not become iden-
titled with either faction who seeks to
dominate the politics of the county. He
has served nearly two terms in the pro-
bate judges office, having been APP
pointed by Governor Bailey to finish the
unexpired term caused by the death of
his predecessor, W. E. Pagan.
There is naught which can be sad
derogatory to Judge Hayden as to the
manner in which he has conducted The
affairs of his office. Since he took pos-
session Of the office the juvenile court
has been created by the legislature.
When this office was created and its
duties defined the prediction was freely
made that the provisions were such that
no man could succeed himself to the
office of probate judge. The opposite
has been the result as Ear as the court
in this county is concerned for It has
been the means of making many friends
for the officials of the court Of the
parents of the children who have been
brought before the court.

BETTER TO KEEP QUIET.
w. T. Vernon Thinks This Is True in
His Case.

Vim. T. Vernon, president of Quindaro,
and the man who is being pushed by the
Kansas delegation for the office Of regis
trar of the treasury. came to Topeka
Tuesday afternoon to attend a meeting
of the Lincoln Day club committee.
Mr.. Vernon does not talk much about
his chances. He good naturedly admits
that he is trying to land the place, but
says
''When man is in the iims Light, it is
better for him to keep still. If should
say my chances were good. 7 would be
accused of Boosting, and injure myself
with the people: if I should deprecate
myself, it would also injure me. 1 prefer
to keep silent Concerning this place as
registrar for which my friends have
been so kind as to present my name, I
viii only say that I want to sincerely
thank the people who have been help
ing me"
Asked concerning the opposition of
Booker Washington, Prof. Vernon re-
fused to talk. Washington has always
been friendly with Vernon, and they
have exchanged teachers and otherwise
co-operated in their educational work
Mr.. Vernon does not know the reason
for Washington's opposition.
Mr.. Vernon says that he does not
know when the appointment win be an
nounced.

DESERTED By HER FATHER.
That Is Situation of Anna Williams,

A case of apparent desertion of
sick daughter by father is what con-
fronts the city sanitary department.
The girl is Anna Williams, mulatto,
who lives at 1857 Lane street and who
has been under quarantine for diph-
iberia. The disease has now developed
into a bad case of erysipelas. The

Charles NJ. Sheldon. for whom the girl
worked, has contributed.

food and coal but he has failed so far, -
said City Physician H. B. HogebOom.
HE makes good wages and though the
daughter is "a years of age and has

not seem to be the best sort of an ex-

and has not been near the house for
some time. He left the house right
after his daughter took sick and with
the one exception of bringing a loaf of
bread and some other things he has

The mayor and the city physician
consulted together over some plan by
which they might bring Williams to
terms, but they could not arrive at
any decision.

blew open the safe in the bank here
and escaped after a fight with citi-
zens. Nobody was hurt in the street
fight. About $500 in currency was torn
into shreds by the explosion and $1,000
in silver was damaged. It is not known
how much the robbers secured.
