swear that they had as yet no employ

HIS wE,S NOT WORRIED


 St. Petersburg, Feb. s.--(a. m.)-The interrogation of Maxim Gorky by the public prosecutor was begun yesterday in the court of justice, to which Gorky was driven in a carriage from the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul. Gorky Is we'll and is subjected to only the ordinary regulations, which require the wearing of a special garb to pre- vent escape.
 The Associated Press is informed on the best authority that the prison fare and accommodations at the fortress are better than at any other prison in St. Petersburg, several of which are models of their kind. Prisoners In the fortress are confined in rooms well-heated casemates and aired daily. The sto- ries of terrible hardships and priva- tions are said to be baseless. The chief reason for the dread of being confined in the fortress is due to the fact that an inmate is unable in any way to com municate with his fellow prisoners, the casemates being sound-proof.
 The Associated Press representative yesterday talked with Mrs. Gorky, who apparently is not deeply worried.

Witnesses from Breathitt County sum- maOned to Fran le0r4

Witnesses from Breathitt County sum-
 naoned to Frankfort.
 Frankfort ky, Feb. S.--1The Court of Appeals today extended from February 10 to IS it's temporary writ of prohibi- tion restraining the Fayette Circuit Court from taking Jurisdiction of the Hargis murder eases from Breathitt County and sustained a motion by commonwealth's Attorney John Alien of the Fayette court to summon seven teen witnesses from Breathitt County to testify orally in this court.
 This is a most unusual proceeding In Kentucky, such an order, not having been issued by the appellate court in quarter of a century. It was made necessary in the opinion of the court by the statement of the counsel for the State that its lawyers could not safely visit Breathitt for the purpose of tak- ing dispositions in this case. The court also sustained motion by Attorney Allen, backed as it was by the States Attorney General to make the com monwealth a party defendant with Clr- cult Judge Parker of Fayette in the proceedings.
 Counsel for the Hargis brothers were present in court but made no objection to sustaining the motions of the com- monweaitn's attorney.

FIGHT NOT OVER YET
STATEHOOD MEASURE NOT TO REsT
 IN PREsENT STATUS.
Predicted That New Mexico May be Dropped froa BilI fin COnfenenee
 Though AFiaona's Fraemds Would Oppose If.

Washington, Feb. Especial. )---The Statehood fight is not overM by any means. It is freely predicted today that New Mexico may be dropped from the bill in conference. Arizona's friends would oppose such action, since 1t would mean going again over the battle for separate Statehood. The bill will probably go to the House Com- mlttee on Territories and then to con ference. Should complications arise, the whole bill may be defeated. Dele- gate Mcclure of Oklahoma, however, feels that his State will stand.
 It Is authoritatively stated that Speaker Cannon and Senator Beveridxe have a plan to attempt in conference to eliminate New Mexico and, failing in this, will try to hold the bill in con- ference until the whole measure falls. Senator Elkins, who supported strong ly the cause of New Mexico said this morning that he had heard rumors of cutting 1t out.
 In his Judgment. the House would non-concur in the Senate amendments and then it would go to conference.
 Even if New Mexico, is cut out" he said T shall vote to let in Oklahoma While should want very much to see New Mexico become State, I think the other territories are entitled to SlhtShoou FeBaFdlesa or what may be done with New Mexico" Delegate Rodey has strong fears that his ter ritory will be left out.
 A full grown sister in the family of States Is Oklahoma at the very begin ming of her career. according to the statement of Delegate Mcclure today. The new State has now more than d million and one-half inhabitants.
 Its territory is slightly larger than that of Missouri. but the new State Is said to be far more fertile. It has already taken first prize in wheat, cot ton and corn in competition with the agriculturalists Of the United States. The new State can raise fine cotton. fine wheat. and fine corn. It is un- surpassed for fruit growing, for stock raising, for raising in fact any agricul- tural products, besides. 1t has deposits of coal and oil, rivaling the richest States. It has extensive forests and no section of the country is watered better. By common consent 1t is Sies- tined to be one of the richest agri- cultural States in the Union. It will outrank in population half of the States in the Union. It Is to go into the Union with half the population the original thirteen States had at the birth of the Union.

NEW TROUBLES.
Iron Works and Car Factory Contend
 lnG With Labor.

Iron Works and Car Factory cOntend-
 lnG With Labor.
 St. Petersburg, Feb. 9.--(2 a. m.)-A partial strike at the Putiloff iron works add B complete tie-up of the St. Peters burg car factory gave rise to rumors yesterday of a general recrudescence of the strike movement in St. Peters burg. but the strike has not extended to other establishments and the suc- cess of the manager of the Putiloff works in preventing the great body of workmen from following the example of their comrades in two of the shops gives basis for hope of an amicable settlement.
 The present trouble involves the questions of pay for the time the men were out on strike and the eight hour day which were discussed at a meeting of employers Last night The employ- CTS came to no decision but deter mined to adopt a conciliatory attitude. They probably will concede a, nine hour day which will satisfy the employees pending general legislation on the matter of an eight hour day.
 The question of allowance for time on strike Is not so easy of settlement. Some works, including the American Westinghouse Company. have voluntar- fly paid their men for the whole week they did not work. but several large establishments, including the St. Pe- tersburg car factory, and the Putiloff Iron Works. refused to pay. asserting that 1t would swallow up the most of their yearly profits.

 Leland Hume, General Manager of the Cumberland Telephone-Telegrap Company, said tonight that he thought the estimate of losses for his company sent from New Orleans was somewhat exaggerated.

HAGERUP's SPEECH.
Failure of Negotiations Between Swe-
 den and Norway.

Christiana, Feb S.-In the Storth- ing today Dr. Hagerup, Norwegian Pre- mier, made a significant speech an nouncing the faAure of negotiations between Sweden and Norway on the question of separate consular repre- sentation.
 He said a most serious situation was thus created. The people of Norway were animated by a desire to continue the good understanding with neighbor- ing nations; but the present conditions if the union were indefensibie and could not continue without endanger- ing these relations. It was the duty, therefore, he said, of the Storthing to make an unrestricted provision for the assumption by Norway of the national and international position to which she was entitled as a sovereign state. and more free working forms of co-opera- tion must be considered if the existing bonds of union between Sweden and Norway were to continue. Premier Hagerup asked for the full co-opera- ton of the storthing with the Cabinet, which he said was prepared to resign If remaining in ofice would place dif- faculties in the way of c0-operation of the various parties

 James's Aceusation.
 MT. James (Ky1 accused the Prest- dent of taking the platform of the Democratic party that bears the bloody stain of Bryans faithful feet, and holding 1t up to the people of the country. He cared not how much it was said the Democrats were following the President. He knew that the sol- diers of the United States followed the President gallantly at San Juan hill. But" he added. 'no more, sir, than the Democracy will follow him when he charges the -Harrimans. the Van derbllts. the Cassatts and the Hills in this country of wealth"
 The Democrats applauded Mr. Heffin (Ala,) when he said that "William J. Bryan, the Daniel of Democracy. has advocated the present Legislation be- fore the people of the country
 Mir. Vreeland (N. ID who voted against his party on the adoption of the rule to take up the rate question, opposed the pending Legislation on the ground that 1t was socialism and not Republican doctrines. His -utterances was vigorously controverted by Mir. Kyle tOhio) who said that the Re- publican party had heard and needed the cry of the people for rate legisla- tion.
 In characteristic speech Mr.. Gaines (Tenn.) who was the sole Democrat who voted with the Repubiicans on the adoption of the rule. said he did so be- cause he found them right on the ques. tion. even though they gritted their teeth after having been 'egged on by the President. who had applied the cat o'ntne-tails to their backs.
