UNION MINERS PREPARING
FOR INDIGNATION MEETING
TO RESENT ARREST OF MoYER
AND OTHERS
Every Delegate Requested to Attend
Annual ConVention-BourLe Cock
ran Said to Have Been Engaged as
Counsel for Accused Men
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
DENVER, April 14-Notices are be-
ing sent out from the headquarters of
the Western Federation of Miners in
this city to local unions urging a large
attendance at the annual convention
that will open in this city May 2S
This is expected to be the greatest
convention in point of attendance in the
history of the organization, because
of the widespread Indignation that has
been aroused over the arrest of Pres
ident Meyer, Secretary Haywood and
George A. Pettibone. on the charge of
the murder of Former Governor Steun-
enberg of Idaho.
II has been customary for some OF
the smaller unions to deliver their
proxies to delegates from other unions
in the same district, in order to save
the expense of sending men to the con-
vention, but Acting Secretary James
kirwin is requesting locals, wherever
possible, to send delegates instead of
proxies to the convention this year
1t is said that Maxim Gorky, the Rus
sian revolutionist, will participate in
the gathering.
Congressman Bourke Cochran of. New
York and Clarence Darrow of Chicago
who it is said have been engaged as
additional counsel for the accused fed
Grafton officials, are also expected tc
attend the convention.

SEVEN KILLED
ON KEARSARGE
Continued from Page one.,

cablegram was one Of surprise that the
accident had resulted in so little loss
of life. The forward turret where it
occurred is of the super type, in other
words an eight-inch gun turret set on
the top of the thirteen-inch gun tur-
ret, where the accident occurred. In
the lower turret were twenty-four men,
and in the upper turret sixteen. The
ammunition hoist connected the two
and had the powder in the lower hoist
exploded probably every man in the
two turrets would have been killed.
The full charge of powder for a thir-
teen-inch gun is too large to be handled
by any one man, so it is divided into
sections in canvas bags, and it was
three of these probably, just enough
to fill one compartment in the ammu-
milton hoist, which ignited. AS the
cablegram states, the cause Of the ig-
milton was not known, but the first be-
lief at the navy department is that in
cleaning up the turret and throwing
open the breeches of the big gun after
the last round had been fired, some
small bit of smouldering canvas bagging
was blown out of one Of the guns as
the big breech block was swung around,
only to fall upon the ammunition
hoist where the surplus powder was
being returned to the magazines below.
Had the remainder of this powder eX-
ploded there might have been a repe-
tition OF the Missouri disaster. when
twenty-six men were killed in the tur-
ret and in the magazines below. 1t
may be noted, however, that the cause
OF the accident in the case Of the Mis-
souri, was entirely different from that
in the case of the Kearsarge, for the
Missouri turret breech block was
swung open before the burning powder
had escaped, resulting in the ignition
of the powder in the turret The ord
nance officers were quick to guard
against a repetition of an accident Of
that kind by fitting out the big turret
guns in the battleships with automatic
spraying devices and air blasts, which
made 1t impossible to have a flare
back
Lieutenant Graeme, who was men
toned as being in a very critical state
at the time the cablegram was sent,
did not belong to the company Of the
Kearsarge. He was attached to the
Maryland and was aboard the Kear-
sarge In the capacity of an umpire to
check off and record the performance
of the gunners, a necessary function
in view of the keen spirit of rivalry
obtaining between the crews of the big
battleships in the matter of efficiency
at target practice.

BANK IS DRAWING
GOVERNMENTGOLD
U. S. TREASURY HELPS NEW
YORK CONCERN
National City Bank Loaned Millions
Pending Arrival of Treasure Or
dered From London-Se-
curity Given
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK. April 14-Announce-
ment that Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw has permitted the National City
bank to draw gold from the United
States treasury department, pending
the arrival there of gold engaged by
this bank for import from London, was
made today. The bank was allowed
the use of this government gold upon
depositing bonds sufficient to cover the
amount of the import. Gold engaged
by the National City bank for impor-
tation from London amounts to over
$10,000,0O0.
The gold advanced by the treasury
department is to be returned by the
bank Immediately upon receipt of the
European gold. Secretary Shaw,
speaking of the ground for this action,
which is a new move on the part of the
treasury department, made the follow
ing statement in this city today:
Caused by Price of Exchange
"The price of exchange having
reached a point where gold ought to
have been imported, and believing the
reason why it was not engaged to be
the loss on it's use during transit, the
sub-treasury at New York was au-
thorized on Thursday afternoon to ac-
cept bonds available as security Of
savings banks and TO increase the de-
posit of any national bank desiring to
import gold to any amount not eX-
ceeding $5,OOOOOO to any one bank, the
same to be returned Immediately upon
the arrival of gold. On Friday the
limit was removed authorizing the ac-
ceptance of security, and to increase
the deposit to any amount when as
sured that the money would be imme-
diately used in the engagement of gold
for shipment to the United States.
Twelve million dollars have been dis
tributed."
Banks Protected
Secretary Shaw called attention to
the fact that in this way the banks
will be able to import gold without
losing It's use during shipment. Form
erly the banks were permitted to count
in their reserve gold in transit. This
rule has been changed and the new
rule is now adopted of advancing the
money on proper securities, to be re-
turned Immediately upon the arrival
of the gold

TOWNE TO EXPOSE

Says He Might as Well Make Power

Go Home and
Work
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-. April 14.-Rep-
resentative Charles A. Towne of New
York, responding to a toast here last
night at the Jefferson day banquet
went outside his set speech to eulogize
William J. Bryan and to bitterly attack
President Roosevelt. Both sentiments
aroused the most intense enthusiasm,
the reference to the Nebraskan ending
in a demonstration that amounted to
an uproar.
Mr.. Towne did not refer to Mr.. Bryan
by name.
your toastmaster has put upon me
the duty OF referring to our great
standard bearer OF 1885," said he. II
feel almost that he himself in far away
India must be catching the enthusiasm
of your homage tonight"
Mr.. Towne then read from an edi-
torial in which sympathy was offered
to the Democratic editor who was wont
to write columns on imperialism and
free silver.
at am as thankful as anyone that the
money question has worked itself out
so satisfactorily" resumed Mr.. Towne,
But 1 cannot accept in silence the
popular version of why the predicted
panic that was to follow the adoption
of the gold stan dard did not materialize.
Panic did not occur because since 1896
the country has produced enough gold
to supply the money market, without
material increase in the silver output.
We owe our prosperity to Providence,
not to a policy. When men refused to
open the mint. God opened the mines"
Will Oppose Roosevelt
Then Mr.. Towne attacked President
Roosevelt. I'm going to take you into
my confidence this much," said the
speaker, "by telling you that I am
going back to Washington with the
avowed purpose of opposing President
Roosevelt He is the greatest promiser
and smallest performer since the days
of Judas Iscariot. He filched his rate
regulation program from a national
Democratic platform, and has now laid
down on his own bill; he sends for
Legislators and lectures them like boys.
"And his tools-consider them for a
minute. They are a speaker and a de-
generate house. Nowadays there are
three steps in national legislation

tc, introduce a bill, and then securing
it's passage in the house and the senate,

we'll make a power of attorney to the
speaker and go back home and get to
work. would not stay in congress or
I'M the Democratic party If / did not be-
lieve that Democracy will eventually
triumph in national affairs"
1t was far after midnight before the
speechmaking was finished, and Mr..
Towne's respons was to one OF the last
toasts on the program.

Revenue Cutter Sent Out to Look for
Her--Search Hopeless - Claude
Hawthorne Brings the Story
Home--passengers Lost.

PORTLAND. Dec. 2+.-Word has
lust reached Portland and the "out-
side. that the little steamer Fox
which piled in local waters until re-
Gently, went down off the Alaska coast
couple OF weeks ago. Her crew and
a number Of passengers are supposed
to have been lost
She was running below Skagway
and a point down the coast, covering
15s miles every day. She carried Unit
ed States mail. passengers and freight.
Until the last few days 1t was be-
lieved that she was still aficat. merely
having been disabled. A United States
revenue cutter was sent out to search
for her. but found no tidings. The Fox
Is now given up for lost. Just how
many passengers she had on board
has not been learned. News Of the
disaster was brought to Portland by
Claude Hanthorn, who returned from
Alaska Saturday to spend Christmas
with his parents.
The Fox was built at Astoria In
August. 1908, by Captain Jack Reed.
at a cost of $4,000 and her short career
was marked by the most thrilling epi-
sodes, in which tragedy took prom
inent part During the Lewis and
Clark fair she was operated out OF the
local harbor, carrying passengers on
the Willamette river. One evening in
midsummer while In command Of
Captain Reed, she collided with and
sank a rowboat containing a large
number of young people. two of whom
were drowned. This affair was one
of the principal circumstances that
led to boats of less than Is tons net
register being brought under govern

fate Of the Fox this morning. Captain
Reed said:
-She was an unlucky boat from the
day she.was launched. Something was
happening to her so often that had
begun to think things were going
wrong if an accident Of some sort did
not occur on every trip she made.
There was certainly 'hoodoo' hover
ing over her from the day she was
launched
After he had become disgusted with
the craft. which had been source Of
constant trouble to him, Captain Reed
disposed of the Fox. Subsequently she
was sold again and taken north to
