of Hill City, S. D., was used. This
man was crank on this kind of
work. He is still forming societies
with huge rituals. But he had
nothing to do with the inner circle
outside of framing ritual used by
the order. 1t was improved on af-
terward. But even at the begin
ming 1t was one of the richest I have
known of. The oaths to be taken
would make the ordinary individu-
al shiver, and you know the men
wanted for the inner circle were of
the superstitious kind anyway. It
took a member several days to
get over the initiation, and some
men that know never got over it.
''As long as Ed Boyce was pres
ident, the inner circle was kept in
the background. It used to do
things then, but it did not run the
federation as it las done for years.
About a dozen men run the inner
circle, and this runs the executive
committee and the federation.
"Since Haywood got hold, the in
ner circle has run the whole organ
ization with its 10000 members and
its income of $500, 900 to $5oo,ooo a
year. Poor Meyer was not such
bad fellow. He was easily led and
fond of trouble, but I do not think
he would have done the things
charged against him if be could
have avoided them.
Haywood and Pe.tibone are the
brains of the inner circle. And do
you know that Pettibone swore that
he would kill Haywood on sight
and got ready to do it for something
that is often justified by the public,
but the inner circle jumped in and
said: We cannot have any scan.
dal. Quit And l guess they did.
"The inner circle has had charge
funds of the federation for several
years. Wait until an investigating
committee from the outside goss
after these books. If Meyer and
Haywood are convicted, then you
will hear something drop. Men who
very likely had nothing to do with
any of the deeds of violence, but
who were aware of what was going
on, will be seeking other climates.
''It the true story could be told,
the enormous income of the fedora
tion in the last few years would be
at the bottom of much of the crimes
committed. The more trouble the
more money; the more persecution,
the bigger the subscriptions from
outside unions. The only way to
get the money to come in was to
have trouble with the authorities
and arrests. The Cripple Creek
and telluride affairs meant half a
million dollars to the inner circle.

Denver, Colo, Feb. 24.-A man
closely associated with the Western
Federation of Minors for years, who
held executive positions and was
close to the inner workings, SO much
so that he retired in disgust and
loathing, tonight gave the history
of the "inner CIRCLE from it's found
ations until recent times. He said !;
"It was in May, 1898. that the
inner circle of the federation was
formed. We were holding the an
nual convention of the federation
that year in Salt Lake City. A
short time before the Bunker
Hill Sullivan mill at Wardner, Ida
no, was blown up. The authorities
were after the federation pretty
hard, and something had to be done.
The convention was too big to
handle. Most of thedelegates were
union men, and they were opposed
to violence. Of course, the average
miner is not squeamish, but he will
not stand for murder. But the cry
among the leaders even that fal
back was for force. They ridicule d
the conservatives like myself, who
were opposed to force and wanted
to build up the unions by different
means.
II remember the first thing that
convention did was to vote $4,000
as d retainer to Patrick Reddy, the
San Francisco lawyer, to defend the
Idaho men and to hide the books
of the federation in preparation fol
raid.
"Hugh Boyle. who blew up ths
Bunker Hill-Sullivan mine, was ir
hiding in Salt Lake at that time
and he took quite an active part II

Deputy Sheriff Peters, agreed to the
delay. Hoch then asked that his
dinner be sent for. His wish was
granted and he ate with an evident
relish and apparently without
thought that he would never enjoy
another meal.
It was exactly at 1882 o'clock
when Hoch. preceded by Deputy
Sheriff Peters and attended by Jail
or John J.. Whitman. Rev. Schleter
and Rev. J. R. Burkland, steppad
upon the scafold, and two minutes
later he was corpse. He walked
upon the scaffold quietly, and stood
directly under the moose with
heels together and head erect like a
soldier on parade. He was pale but
composed, and full of courage.
Rev. Mr.. Burkland was reciting
the prayers for the dying when
Deputy Sheriff Peters asked Hoch
to step back on the trap. He took
two steps quickly, glanced down to
zee If he was in the proper place,
and then turGed his face to the dep
uty Sheriff.
"Do you wsntto say something?"
asked Deputy Sheriff Peters.
'"Yes, said Hoch."
Mr.. Burkland was sts III reciting
the prayers, and Jailer Whitman
held out his hand to silence him
The clergyman, not noticing, kept
on with the prayer, and one Of the
guards spoke to him. He ceased
Immediately, and Hoch, as soon as
be could speak without interruption
said In a strong German accent:
Father, forgive them; they know
not what they do. l must die an
innocent man. Goodbye"
He chopped the last words off In
short, incisive manner, and before
his voice was silenced the drop fell.
| Dr.. Francis w. McNamara, the
Jail physician, was at Hoch's side
the instant he fell, and declared thai
death had been instantaneous, the
neck being broken.

NEEDLESS NOISE.

The anti-Nuisance League of Staten Island is the
latest to wage systematic the noise nuisance 1t
will invoke the law against the railroads that make night
hdeous and sleep impossible by needless shriekng and
whistling and bell ringing.
The notion that civilization noise and is per-
haps measured by is absurdy of the widest sort
Civilization is measured rather by the absence of
noises that needless
It is not certain that the law affords effective remedy
against unnecessary noise But the Staten Island league

One New York judge has held that the law does not
recognize the right to quiet it does the right to light

The doctrine that all excessive noise in industrial and
business districts of noisy city, is nuisance that the
law will abate
The reasonableness of this position is apparent and
when people begin to protest loudly against the reckless
making of needless noises the courts and the legislature
will find the law to help the movement along.
