SAW THE GOVERNOR
Bridgers Set Himself
Straight With the
Executive.

The negro Brdsers. husband of
Mary Bridgers, the woman for whose
...u4Aer tynI adams was convicted
and sentenced to pay the death PEN
atty, went to see Governor Glenn yes
terday about the statement the Gov
ernor had made REGARDING him in the
crime. He was in the executive office
early, and was highly DESTROYS of set
ting himself straight"
R"idgnre made ~ full narrative of
all he knew of the crime, and de-
.idTeu mat he hIunSeIT mad nothing
to do with it. One of the arguments
used by those who had attempted to
.mplica,e nm was that he had sworn
out a warrant for Adams arrest with
out being able to give any coherent
reason for connecting Adams with the
commission Of murder. This Bridgers
explained easily by saying that one
of his children, whom Adams attempt
ed to kill, had told him as soon as he
entered the house that the evil deed
was the work OF Adams. He was not
permitted to make this statement in
court, and therefore nothing to the
effect was in the record of the trial
proceedings.
The Governor viii give Adams tne
same consideration. being the humb-
lest citizen, as he would give tire
wealthest and best connected man
in the State, and he says that justice
will be given every man. black and
white. regardless o" everything eX-
cept humanity and right. He will eX-
anime every witness whom he deems
necessary, and it is probable that
prieve.

The Philadelphia Record truly says
that every unprecedented railway &C

of danger by guarding against which
travel IS made safe thereafter. Still
there IS something wrong somewhere,
for the railroads do not seem to learn
from experience. 1t would certainly
seem that a S progressive as this coun-
try is. its railroads could do business
with less slaughter of human life
than IS wrought under present condi-
tons. There is no industary. perhaps,

The Crisis.

Once to every man and nation comes
the moment to decide.
In the strife of Truth and FalSehood
for the good or evil side;
Truth forever on the scaffold. WTUrg
forever on the throne
Yet that scaffold sways the future, and,
behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow, keep
ing watch above his own.
New occasions teach new duties; Time
makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still, and onward
who would keep abreast OF
Truth;
Lo, before us CLEAN the camp-fires:
we ourselves must pilgrims be.
Launch our Mayflower, and steer bold
ly through the desperate winter
Nor attempt the Futures portal with
the Past's blood-rusted key.

And Still They Come.

Portland, Ore, Feb. 12.-Following
close upon the sensational testimony
OF Senator Mitchell's law partner,
Judge A. H. Tanner, and Harry c..
Robertson, Mr.. Mitchell's private
secretary, yesterday, came the an
nouncement that the federal grand
jury had returned an indictment
against Congressman John R. William
son, Doctor Van Gessner, Mr.. William
sons partner in the sheep raising bus
mess, and Marion r. Biggs, United
States land commissioner at Prime
vile, Ore.
The Indictment alleges that on June
30, 1902, the accused persons entered
into conspiracy to obtain 100 persons
to file applications for public lands in
Crook county, Ore, and swear that
the land was for their own use, when,
according to the indictment, it was for
the benefit of the firm of Gessner &
Williamson, who desired the lands for
sheep grazing.

had been declared illegal by republican
experts. With one exception, every
witness identified his ballot. The ex-
ception was Louis e. Becker, who de-
clared that the democratic ballot cor
responding with his number on the
poll book was not his ballot, as he
voted the republican ticket.
Four witnesses went over the repub-
lican lists of alleged non-residents in
as many precincts and identified prac-
tically every name as belonging to a
bona fide resident.

Conditions At LODI.

Lodz, Feb. 12.-The fifteenth day OF
the strike finds the situation here ap-
parently no clearer than the day ON
which the movement began. The con-
dition of affairs, briefly, is: There are
100000 strikers in Lodz and it's vicin-
ity, and the strikers demand an eight
kopecs Go cents an hour, which is
between three and four times the pres.
ent rate of pay. These demands, ad-
ded to the fact that the liberal conces.
sions granted by employers have not
been accepted, are taken as proof that
the strike is political, rather than a
labor movement. Manufacturers offer
10-hour day, with an increase OF
wages of from five to Is per cent, and
also agree to reduce rents for work
mems dwellings,. They issued an ulti-
matum yesterday morning that unless
the strikers accept their terms and re.
turn to work the mills will be closed
indefinitely.
Personal relations between masters
and men are of the friendliest, the
masters believing that the strike is
due to outside influences.
Lodz Governor Talks.
The governor of Lodz said yester-
day: "The manufacturers have made
every concession possible. Some oi
them who wanted to continue to pay
the strikers now have forbidden this ?
Business in Lodz is at a complete
standstill. The street railway service
has been suspended and shops open
for few customers. The strikers
mostly remain in their homes. Sol
diers are everywhere in evidence
They are guarding all strategic points
and are constantly potrolling the
streets. A regiment OF Cossacks and
infantry are coming to Lodz.
No disturbance occurred here yester
day and no trouble was reported at
Sosnovict. The governor in an inter
view with the Associated Press said:
"My official reports from Sosnovict
show that 33 persons were killed"

Employers Divided.

The employers have not arrived at
a decision for joint action in conces-

men are already attempting to satisfy
the men ON their own account.
The occurrence of January 22 are
being made the subject of an exhaust
i've extra legal inquiry by st. Peters

is examining witnesses and gathering
evidence from physicians in order to
establish the number of victims which,
up to the present, is only approximate
ly known.
The commission also will endeavor
to ascertain the causes for the trouble

and the high school is closed. The

manifested no inclination to resort to
