TO BREAK BONES
Alleged sIugEer says COrnelius shea
Ordered Men to Disable
Negro Teamstera.

CHICAGO. Dec. 5.--A startling expose Of
the methods employed In the teamsters
strike was given in the trial OF Cornelius
p. Shea and his fellow labor leaders before
Judge Ball IN the criminal court today,
when Joseph Schultz. alleged slugger, who
with Albert Young, turned states evidence,
was on the stand as a witness for the state.
Schultz declared that Shea had told him
to break the legs and arms OF the strike
breakers and especially to attack the
negroes. when this means OF bringing
about desired results did not work salts
factorily Schultz asserted that Shea ordered
the hired pickets to throw eggs filled with
acids at the horses being driven by nom
union men.
After Schultz had been on the stand
several hours he was asked by Assistant
States Attorney Miller
What did Mr.. Shea say concerning the
negroes?"
He said break their legs or their arms
50 they won't be able to work"
do you remember in the early part Of
April, 1895, seeing three negroes coming out
Of the alley back of the store Of Mont
gomery Ward & Cor

and Shea was there. AS they passed us
Shea said to me: There is one Of the hnks.

Shea said that attempts might be made to
deliver coal to Montgomery Ward & Co. and
we had better be sent there. Tim Finn picked
out fifteen men and told US to get busy and
do some good work. We hung around until
about O'Clock in the morning and went
back to headquarters"
| Schultz later In the afternoon said that
during the strike the strikers and the pick
cts would hurl eggs filled with vitriol and
other acids at horses in the street 20 make
them run away. He said that some times
syringes were used to squirt the acid.
They gave us the acid eggs at the picket
headquarters" he said.

MoRMoN'S ON RACE PROBLEM
Apostles of Church Say Church Would

Brigham Roberts, Elder George Albert
Smith. one OF the twelve apostles, and thir-

OF the East Tennessee conference.
Apostle Roberts said in an interview;
I'VE think our ideas will be helpful where
they are made TO obtain in respect of the
race question Of the south. 1t is a com
mandment OF God with US that there should
be no amalgamation between the white
race and the black and that each race
should be taught to preserve itself from
such amslgamatiOn. The heaviest church
disabilities would result with us from the
violation Of such views"

THE ELEVEN LOST DAYS.

The eleven days from Sept. to
IS inclusive, are memorable for hav-
ing once been entirely omitted from
the calendar of the Anglo-SaXon
world. The Gregorian calendar was
not adopted by the British Empire
until 1851, long after most other ma
tions of the civilized world had con-
formed with it,
In that year an act of parliament
prescribed that the next year. 1862,
should begin on January l instead of
on March %, as had previously been
the rule, and that in the following
September these IL days should be
dropped from the calendar, the day
following September . being known as
September IA.
Stirring times those were, too. in
which days were not lightly to be
spared from a year, with Give con-
quering India and Washington be-
ginning the conquest of the Ohio val
ley. But the procession of the equi-
noXes took no note of trifles like
these. which could be accomplished
as well under one calenderial style as
another.
1t may be observed that, while Greg
ory dropped only 10 days from 1882,
II days had to go from 1852. and
Russia would have to drop 13 from
1906 TO square their dates with the
rest of the world.-New York sun.

Henry Clews, the hired financial"
agent whom the trusts maintain in
Wall street to watch their interests

tarv system of the United States a
hard blow IN his last weekly letter.
Speaking of the threatened panic
which was fully expected among the
eastern banks a few days ago, as the
result of enormous bank failures, rob
berries by insurance companies and the
cornering of money by the sharks of
Wall street. he seq:
The governments action in deposit
ing funds with interior banks tended
to relieve the strain in the money
market. Until this last step was taken
the treazury, thanks to our clumsy
currency methods. had locked up
about $4S,OOO.OOO more than a yem

A large dial, 10 feet in diameter

The $5O,OOO was gift from the Will

to the directors of the Y. NJ. c. A. at
a banquet held in the Portland hotel
last night Later in the day the big
hand was moved to show that $4,000
more had been raised. Other gifts
have been coming in today and little
doubt is eXprest that the necessary
amount will be raised in the specified
time of three weeks.

Seattle Has 11S Policemen.

Seattle today has 11S police Off
GERS. The city charter allows 1t one
to every 1000 Of the population. says
the Seattle News. This figure was
arrived at on the basis of the allow
ances made in most of the eastern
cities. Seattle is hilly and to be prop
erly covered 1t should have more po-
licemen than any eastern city which
has not got Its hills. Again, Seattle
Is seaport and almost every country
on earth is represented in its cosmo-
polltan crowds. 1t is the main city
for a large country UP north and 1t Is
the point toward which criminals Of
all the northwest naturally turn. These
are some Of the reasons why Seattle
should have more than one policeman
to every 1000 Of the population II
such a ratio is found necessary in the
east.

THE TELEGRAPH MONOPOLY.

The Denver Post says of the Ameri-
can telegraph monopoly:
In sheridan, Wyo, the people held
mass meeting in order to express
their indignation over the rotten serv-
ice that the Western Union Telegraph
company is giving that town.
In this connection is might be well
to state that in Billings, Mont. if I
telegram is received there early in
the morning. the early receipt does
not assure that the person to whom It
may be addressed will receive it on
that particular day; and if. for in
stance, YOU are living at Livingston,
Mont. which is an important point on
the Northern Pacific railway, and you
should happen to send telegram,
say at o'clock in the evening, and
then were going to Billings, and it
were addressed to the biggest and best
hotel at Billings, it is more than an
even break you would have to go to
the telegraph office and ask for that
telegram and then be informed that
no such message had been received.
And then, when you spend your
money to wire to Livingston to ask
why the telegram was not sent, in the
course of several hours you may be
informed that the telegram has ar
rived.
These facts point to the probability
that, some day, all along the line. of
the Northern Pacific, the telegraph
poles of the Western Union Telegraph
company will be torn up and strewn
in the roadway and their place will
be taken by the Postal Telegraph
company's poles. as in the case of the
entire Pennsylvania system.
Here in Denver we have the Postal
Telegraph company and for that rea-
son we can call ourselves blessed

KNOCKING THE FAIR.

In gathering fruit, grain and other
exhibits for the county fair, the agents
Of the fair commission who are trav-
cling over the county for this purpose,
find dozens Of wel-meaning, thrifty
intelligent farmers who actually
knock" against the fair, not really
in words. but in more emfatic ways
by their actions.
one remarkable fact in connection
is that scarcely a solitary exhibit of
fruit yet sent in for the fair has been
donated by the grower for that pur-
pose Every exhibit must be paid
for, not only in cash, but in fancy
prices.
1t is almost necessary to beg the
producers 10 furnish fruit for exhibit
purposes, even At high prices. The
people have not responded to the fair
as they should. They are to be bene-
ficiaries of this fair. They will draw
the premiums and secure the benefits
of the advertizng.
It seems that the fruit exhibits
might be donated where the producer
expects to secure a premium worth
moro than the fruit. The commission
must collect .the fruit ship it into
Pendleton and place it on exhibit.
The bizness men of Pendleton are
carrying a big burden in establishing
this fair. Aal they are receiving no
pay for Their services. They are doing
the work in order that Umatilla and
Morrow counties may have something
in the shape of a fair. which other
towns and rich counties like theze
enjoy
The people who furnish the exhibits,
take the premiums and reap the har-
vest of advertizing will be the only
people TO profit directly by the fair.
The slight furry Of trade while the
fair lasts is as nothing compared to
the lasting benefits to be received BY
the country people and the entire
county by the fair.
II is hoped that the people Of the
two counties awaken and take suf-
flcient interest in the event to gather
and send in their products.
The business men, the county court
and the fair commission are doing the
work and furnishing the means. It
looks as tho the people might at least
supply the exhibits and draw the pre-
miums
