MILFORD SPOHN DEAD
Known as Father of the

END WAS NOT UNEXPECTED
Had Suffered for Many Months With
Complication of Diseases-Came to
Washington Long AgO-Funeral
Arrangements Have Not Been Made.
Labor Union Pays Tribute.

Surrounded by relatives and friends,
Milford Spohn affcctionately known in
Washington labor circles as the Father
Of the Central Labor Union, died at his
home. 123S Eighth street northwest, last
night just as the clock struck the hour
OF 3, while a meeting Of the body which
he helped to organize was being inform
ed of his serious illness.
Nj Spohns death was caused by a
complication Of diseases, from which ne
had suffered many months. His life was
despaired of several days ago. so that
his death was not unexpected.
Born IN Montgomery County. Nd, in
1876. Mr.. Spohn removed 10 Washington
while still young man. 4 bricklayer by
trade, he soon became prominent in labor
circles, and it was largely through his
personal efforts that the Central Labor
Union. body composed OF delegates from
the various l0tal unions Of the District
OF Columbia. was formed.
He was the first president Of the G.
J.. T., and represented il as its delegate
at the national convention OF the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor held at Mil
waukee two years ago. At the time OF
his death he was secretary Of Bricklayers'
Local. No. l. and delegate from the c.
L. L. to tho Presbyterian Ministers As
sociafon. an organization which is on
fratcmal terms with the Central Labor
Union.
Mr.. SpOhn WAS twice married. Ills first
wife was Miss Jane Sullivan, Of Frederick
City. Nd. whom he welded in 1872 Of
this union two children survive. Bernard
Spohn, Of this city, and Mrs. Gertrude
CUsEwa. Of WiHiamsport. Nd
In 1850, some time after the death Of his
first wife, Mr.. Spohn was married TO Miss
Minnie Roland. of Norfolk. Va. who now
survives him.
Upon hearing the news Of his death last
evening. the meeting of Central Labor
Union. iu session at Typographical
Temple. adjourned out of respect 20 his
memory. The funeral arrangements have

EXCEPTIONS ARE TAKEN.
Local High school Debating Team De-
nounce Article in Evening Paper.

The story recently published in an
evening paper anent the visit of the
Ellensburg contingent TO this city at
the time of the Yakima Ellensburg
high school debate, in which il was
stated that the conduct of the visitors
was unbscoming, or words to that eff
feet, seems to be absolutely unfound-
ed. The local high school boys and
girls have taken exceptions TO the ar
ticle, and denounce it in unqualified
terms They say it was inspired either
by righteousness or gross neglect on
the part of the reportoral stan TO as
certain the facts.
The crowd that came TO visit Yaki-
ma and cheer the visiting debating
team was in every respect a well-he-
haved lot of boys and girls. Professor
]. II. Morgan of the Ellenshurg Nor
NAL. assisted in ohaperoning the young
people, so any further explanation is
unnecessary. 1t is hoped that Ellens-
burg will come again: Yakima people
will make it a point to sec that they
are well entertained.

DENVER, Feb. o0.-The Times to-
day says: Harry Orchard was in the
employ of Cripple Crek miners as de-
tective during the great strike at
Cripple Creek. This most important
fact will be used in defense of the la
Dor leaders when they are brought to
trial in the courts of Idaho. The fol-
lowing facts come to the Times from
a most reliable source:
Orchard was a member of the West
ern Federation of Miners when the
strike was ordered in November, 1908.
At the beginning of the strike, on the
day it was declared. he approached a
conductor named Jones and introduced
himself as a brother Mason. Orchard
told Jones he heard members of the
union plotting to wreck Jones' train,
anu that he did not believe in such
methods. and consequently had told
Jones of the plot Jones Immediately
took Orchard to Scott and Sterling, de-
tectives for the mine owners associa-
ton, and to them Orchard repeated his
story Scott and Sterling Immediately
employed him rs a detective for the as
ISOLATION. He was instructed TO at
tend the meetings of the union, and
to report daily. Orchard continued In
the employ Of the association until
June Of 1904. on June the explosion
occurred at the Independence DEPOT.
and Orchard disappeared. The mob
took possession Of Cripple Creek and
Victor. and attempted 10 force a con-
fession from many suspected parties.
One young man was suspended by the
thumbs until he agreed to tell the name
OF his friend. who had caused the ex-
plosion When lowered he said, liar
~ Orchard did It."
Orchard was nursude ny hloodhounds
The pursuing mob did not know that
Orchard was IN the employ ~ the as
ISOLATION Of mine owners. They knew
him only ms n member OF the miners
union. Orchard and companion by
the name Of Neville Travelled by wagon
out of Cripple Creek, avoiding the I'M
rortant towns and finally reaching
Greeley. There they took n train to
Cheyenne. where Orchard received a
sum Of money from Colorado friends.
yer last April II IS said he feared ar
rest on account OF his connection with
the explosion. and therefore changed
his name 70 Hogan. For time he
worked for Insurance companies. and
last August left Colorado. saving he
was going TO New York He was next
heard OF when he was arrested for the
Steunenberg murder.

THE SMALL FARM.
TRritt Tribune.7

The eight acre farm that r. s.
Brickey owns in the west part of the
town plat of Britt shows what can be
done on a little farm and that as much
money can, be made easier on such a
piece of Hand than on more. Robert
makes nearly $4,000 off this piece Of
ground every year. He has about 49,
600 evergreen trees ready to sell next
year, and about the same number Of
appletrees that will come in later on;
he raises strawberries and cabbage by
the wholesale, enough corn to feed a
team thru the year, 500 chickens are
nearly ready for the market, an apfary
furnishes many dollars worth of hon-
ey for sale, while small fruits of all
kinds grow for him in profusion. He
sells thousands of strawberry plants
and is now preparing to get them in
shape for the spring market. In addi-
ton to living on the best that grows in
garden and field this patch Of land
gives him a better revenue than one
half of the quarter section farms do
their owner. He has evergreen trees
that have been raised from the Seed
but buys a large portion of them from
the big nurseries when they are all
small, and then transplants them and
keeps them until they are big enough
for the market. The little nursery is
thrifty and everything growing on the
place seems to be trying to be just a
little heavier than the ordinary GRIP.
Roberts style Of farming is not so pre-
tentious as some but the returns show
up with the best of them when the
year rolls round, when you take the in
vestment into consideration.

WHAT OF cuBA7

What will be the outcome in Cuba?
At the time when the United States in
tervened in behalf of the Cubans, ana
later when this country established its
protectorate over the new government
The belief was widespread abroad and
in America that these were preliminary
steps to annexation. Now conditions
in the island have awakened again the
suspicious Of foreigners and the hopes
of such Americans who believe that
the acquisition of the Antilles has only
been delayed and that Cuba should, for
her own good and to the interests OF
+ this country. be made an integral part
of the United States.
Doubtless Cuba as United States ter
ritory would remain peaceful and grow
prosperous and be less burden ana
menace to the great republic that
stands as her godmother. The respon-
sibility for Cuba is pretty soiidly fixed
on the shoulders Of this nation. How
ever. this responsibility is duty and
not an excuse 1t carries no right of
: conquest. We have not lent assistance
to Cuba as loan sharks lend money on
mortgages to foreclose at the first OPP
portunity.
Mr.. Root has been in South America
assuring our sisterhood of nations that
our aim is to protect and succor, not
to attack, to form partnerships, not
establish protectorates and acquire ter
ritory. He appears to have knit again
the bond that should exist between the
north and south continents, the bond
the Elaine dreamed grew into mutual
hostageship. It is scarcely possible
/ that this country can keep confidence
unless it keeps faith.
It is not for the United States to an
rex Cuba, but for Cuba to knock for
admission. Soon or late she will come
to ask the place that propinquity and
mutual advantage makes logical. Until
then we must keep hands off and be
counselor, not commander, in Cuba.
