Princes spending the night in Jail.
Mrs. liza Downs, an energetic woman
travelling for a fruit tree firm, who
has been stopping at the Alcorn for
several days, missed a small revolver
which she carried for protection
against the wicked world. As soon
as she discovered its absence from her
room, she started a strenuous search
for it. She questioned Night Clerk
Wilson, but he knew nothing of 1t.
She then went to Landlord Weitzel,
but he was in the dark, likewise. She
continued her rapid fire skirmishings,
summoning before her in quick sue
cession. the porters, chambermalis
and walters. Finally, when all had
denied knowledge of the affair, ii was
remembered that one night porter
was at the Santa Fe. A cab was hur-
riedly obtained, a policeman drafted
and the Santa Fe was driven to in
hot haste. Arriving there the same
story was told by the porter Then
it was determined to go after Phil
lips, one of the day porters. Prince,
yanked unceremoniously from his
slumbers, at first denied, but on be-
ing closely pressed, told where the
gun was.
The night clerk, the chambermaids
and the porters were rather interest
ed in the matter, as the woman avow-
ed she would land the whole push in
Jail if the shootin' iron was not

that scores of voters were used in one

LABOR SCORNED
AND OUTRAGED
UNION CANDIDATE is HUMILA.
TINGLY REPUDIATED
AN INSULTING BETRAYAL
Workingmen Charge Gross Fraud in
Yesterdays Democratic Primar-
ies-Vigorously Bolt Nominee.

Laboring men in general, and the
labor unions in particular, Of the
Twenty-eighth constitutional delegate
district, were slapped insultingly in
the face, and dragged humiiiatingly in
the dust, by the action of the Demo
Gratis of this district in their primar-
les held yesterday, The laboring men,
yielding to the tcmpter's voice, en-
dcrsed candidate On the Democratic
ticket for constitutional delegate, and
found, when all too late, that they
had been made the dupes and tools of
the district machine. Their candidate
was overwhelmingly defeated, and
they realize now, was brought out
only for the purpose of defeating a
wing of the local democracy, which
refused to yield TO the demand of
the bosses, and put up a candidate Of
their own. The editor of the party
organ, until yesterday making an ap-
parent play for the labor candidate
in order to blind the eyes of the
workingmen, in the primaries yester-
day worked tooth and toe-nail for
the machine candidate. He having
been instrumental in bringing Yeager
out, the whole conspiracy is made
plain. He has shown himself IN this
capacity, as willing to trade on the
credulity of the laborer as he is to
flip-hop from the prohibition element
to the whiskey ring. The twenty-six
demands of the federated unions,
which the pharisaieal sheet ostensibly
stood for, were forgotten in the rush
and hurry of rounding up votes for
the gang, and the voice Of labor was
stilled by the loud roar of the push
threatening destruction to its hench-
men if they didn't vote early and
often.
Here was the situation. The ma
chine candidate came out first. A
loud protest went up from the insur-
gents. This grew until it reached
such proportions that Martin was
brought out. Martins strength grew
like the green bay tree. The gang
got scared bad. What will we do to
stem this tideY they anxiously asked
each other. Then brilliant thought
found birth. The thought was inn
mediately cultivated and finally grew
the laborer in the game. The laborer
was taken upon the mountain and
was taken upon ye mountain and
shown the promised land. Being
mortal, he succumbed TO the picture,
and he now finds himself betrayed.
Yeager was brought out. Yeager got
the votes that Martin otherwise would
have pollcd. And the gang won out.

Washington,Sept. 29-Preparation
for the military occupation of Cuba
moved at rapid rate today after the
receipt of dispatch from Secretary
Taft, urging the sending of the army
TO Cuba. All the organizations max
ing up the first expedition arranged
for by the general staff were advised
of the request of the secretary OF
war, and Quartermaster Humphreys
and his assistants began to hire
transports and to order supplies to
be delivered Immediately at New
port News where the first expedition
will be mobilized. Sufficient supplies
TO last $500 men for thirty days are
being rushed to that point with full
speed Quartermaster depots at Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, New York, and at
other points are being drawn upon
and Captain Smiley, of the Fifteenth
Infantry. has been ordered to New
mort News, where he will secure a
store house and look after the sup
plies,
Brigader General T. J. Wint, com
manding the department of the Mis-
sour, was ordered to Newport News
today. where he will assume full
charge Of the embarkation of the
troops. He is to remain there indie
finitely and will look after the sec
ond and third expeditions, in case
the government finds it necessary
to send larger force into Cuba.
Although the military secretary and
chief Of staff were unable to COM
municatr with President Roosevelt,
preparations for the departure of the
first expedition were only little de-
layed. sthe secretary of war, the
president and members of the general
staff had gone so thoroughly into the
situation that there is general un-
derstanding as to the policy of the
administration.
II is now known that Brigadier
General Frederick Funston, who is
already in Cuba. is to command all
the troops sent to Cuba. Colonel +.
ID. Crowder. of the Judge advocate
generals office, who is to be Secre-
tary Taft's legal adviser in the or.
ganizatioi. of new government in
Cuba, left Washington today for Ha.
vana. with secretary and several as
sistants. who are to be with him in
his work. New guns for all the
troops who may be sent to Cuba are
in readiness and as each of the or
ganizations arrives in Newport News
it will be equipped with the latest
improved army rifles. This has a
knife bayonet now generally in use in
the army. II was demonstrated in
