TRIED HARD TO WIN
MINERS UNION SPENT MUCH MONEY
 IN ALABAMA.
Some Rather Sensational Testimouy Which is Introduced at . Hear
 ing in New York City.

New York. July 20.-Tsstimony has been given before hearing of the commissioner of license and heating in this city to the effect that the United Mine Workers of America had spent more than $1.5o0,oo0 in an effort to win a strike which began in the bitumin- ous coal mines of Alabama and Tennes- see a year ago. The statements were made by General Labor Agent Hugh Dewitt of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company.
 Dewitt asserted that the union con- tributed an average of q 1000 a day for the maintenance of the members of local unions in those two States, and that in addition to the $365, 900 spent pended s26.000 within the last three months for railroad tickets to enable strike-breakers to return to their homes
 The statements made by Dewitt were brought out in hearing complaints against two large employment agencies in the city, which have been engaged in obtaining men for the miners. The charges against agencies are to the effect that they engaged men and sent them to the South under false pretense restraining them on the trains en route against their will. One witness was the wife of a machinist. She told of going with her husband and a carload of other men who broke the windows of the coach at Birmingham and made their escape.

THE CHINESE BOYCOTT.
Heather are Mad About American Ex-
 clusiOn LaWa.

Washington. July 20.-The Depart ment of State has received a report from Samuel L. Gracey, American con- sul at Fuchau, China, on the meeting held by Chinese merchants at Shang hai on May 6, to discuss the American exclusion laws and the Chinese boy cot of American goods
 The society most active in this ques- tion was the Jen Ching (man mirror) literary society of Shanghai. More than 200 people attended and adopted resolutions declaring that they would stop consuming or ordering American goods; that the natives who worked for American merchants or who were engaged fin the transportation of Amer ican goods would ask for higher wag- es; that the privileges given to the "Hehsing Company" for building a railway, should be withdrawn and that any Chinese merchant found to deal secretly in American goods would not only be fined, but socially boy cotted.
 A thorough investigation of the sale of American goods, especially of Amer lean kerosene oil and American clothes was called for and the support of impartial American newspapers and missionaries in the efforts to remove the exclusion laws was urged The printed proceedings of the meeting have been spread widely throughout all classes of Chinese society.

Much Interest in the Murder Case at
 NaidOsta, Ga.

Valdosta. Ga. July 20-The evidence in the case against Milton Rawlings, charged with the murder of the Carter children. was fnisned before noon to- day. The effort of the defense today was directed toward impeaching the testimony of the Carters. who testified for the State. Their reputation for truth and veracity was also attacked Arguments In the case were taken up imm ediately.
 When court convened for the after noon session, Solicitor Thomas asked permission to reopen the case to intro duce additional testimony. This was granted and he produced two witnesses who swore that they had heard Mrs. Rawlings say that on the night of the Carter murders two of her sons were coon hunting and the other was at home in bed Mrs. Rawlings was brought to the stand and swore that she did not make such a statement. The argu- ments were then resumed. c. A. Whit aker leading for the State. c, M. Smith followed for the defense and the re- cess for the day was taken al ' o'clock this evening Closing arguments will be made tomorrow morning and it is likely the case will go to the jury about noon.
 The result of this. the first case. is watched with intense interest. as upon 1t depends largely the probable results in the cases against the other members of the Rawlings family.

CHIEF ENGINEER STEVENS AND

They Tell Something of Plans and Work to Be Done on lsthmus-The La- bOrers Are to Have
 Recreation

New York, July 29.-John F. Stevens the newly appointed chief engineer of the Panama canal, sailed today for Pan amau on the steamship Mexico. Chair man Shonts of the canal commission accompanied MT. Stevens. Mir Stevens will assume control of operations i'm mediately on arrival on the fsthmus.
 Neither Mir. Shonts nor MT. Stevens has visited the isthmus before and both said they would prefer to wait until their return before talking of condi- tions down there. They told some thing of the plans. however. and the work they propose to do at once to as- sure the success of the canal building MT. Shonts said he had heard many complaints regarding conditions on the isthmus. but had paid no attention to them. The men down there" he said
 most of them. were misfits. There are men down there who have a just com plaint and that Is that they have noth- ing to do but work. They have no amusements and no friends. Men two thousand miles from home and under these conditions get homesick of course. What they want is amusement, healthy games and outdoor exercise. In order to remedy this we will establish a sep arate department and we expect to es- tablish club houses across the isthmus.
 MT. Stevens and I saw the president and we talked over the canal plans In a general way. Of course the kind of canal to be built Is yet to be decided upon l should say that 1t would take ten or twelve years 10 construct a sea level canal and about five years to build a lock canal" #,
 Mir Shonts said that arrangements have been made to carry on the work without any interruption should MT. Stevens resign as chief engineer
 MT. Stevens said that he was going to the canal zone with an open mind and would make the best of the condi- tions as he finds them. Speaking of the possibility of Chinese labor being em- ployed he said: T have tried the Chi nese in this country and found them good. I will try many experiments un- til we get the best kind of labor"

HIS CHARGE MADE GOOD
Advertiser Bureau.


 Washington, July 20.
 Secretary Cheatham. of the Southern Cotton Growers Association, is receiv- ing many telegrams and letters con-. graduating him upon the manner ins which he has made good his chargs against the Bureau of Statistics of tha Agricultural Department. It has been through his cool discretion and intel- ligent judgment that the Department has been persuaded that a complete re- formation was needed in the Bureau Of Statistics.
 Mir. Cheatham. in behalf of the South ern Cottton Growers Association. made direct request of the Secretary that the bureau be reorgsnized That re- quest has been respected. as was shown. by the changes already made, and tho placing in charge of the bureau of As- sistant Secretary Hays.
 It may be that this Is not to be in the nature of permanent arrangement. as Assistant Secretary Hays Is not an ex- pert cotton statistician, though he io well advised on general agricultural topics and sciences. In other wordss the cotton interests, through the South ern Cotton Growers Association, will likely ask for more direct representa- ton in the bureau. 4s
 It Is fact that there has not been for some time employed by the Bureau Of Statistics from the South or from any cotton State 5 per cent, even, of clerical men. and none in any responds ble position. Secretary Cheatham has acquainted himself with the facts and Is standing out strongly for fairer and more liberal representation of this great agricultural interest.
 The Secretary of the Southern Cotton Growers Association Is still here and VIII undoubtedly be consulted In the matter of the reorganization of the De- partment of Statistics as far as 1t af- fects the cotton interests.
