Organizer to Go to Bed.
Spokane, Wash, Aug. 11.-'An effort
to form a harvest hands union has
been summarily nipped by Constable
Joseph Morris, of Pullman, in the
heart of the wheat belt in this state.
Two walking delegates who arrived
in Pullman to organize union that
would compel farmers to pay So and
board for every eight hours of work in
the harvest field, the equivalent of IS
or Sc a day, were compelled by the
constable to go to bed almost as soon
as they reached town, and to depart on
the first train next day. They protest.
ed that they were not vagrants, and
exhibited money and their union cards
but Constable Morris said he knew the
law in Pullman better than they.
you've either got to quit this here
agitation and go to work out in the
fields. where they want you. or go to
bed" Morris declared and you've got
to go to bed right away. anyhow. If
you want to get up and go to work at
$4 day and board in the morning,
I'll find you plenty of work. II you
don't then you'll have to leave on the
first train"
Constable Morris allowed that if the
walking delegates had money they
could pay for room in the best ho-
tel. and he escorted them to the ho-
tel and remained until the landlord
assured him they had retired.

GOVERNORS HOUSE IN TAX SALE
Kansas Executive Mansion Advertised
for Nonpayment.

Kansas Executive Mansion Advertised
for Nonpayment.
Topeka, Kan, Aug. 1n.-"For Sale
One governors mansion for an unpaid
tax debt of $149.9s." is the meaning but
not the wording Of an advertisement
in the official paper of Shawnee county
this week. The executive mansion of
the state is to be solo at auction Sept.
21, together with other real estate ON
which taxes have not been paid, unless
the owners redeem the property in the
meantime.
1t has been known by the state Of
f1cers for some time that the taxes on
the mansion had not been paid, but it
was not known until yesterday that the
property is to be sold to enforce COL
lection. There is a difference of opin-
ion among the state officers concern
ing the proper fund from which to pay
taxes on the property, as this is the
only piece of property owned by the
state against which taxes can be as
sessed.
There is no fund fer the payment Of
the debt and the mansion may have
to be purchased by one of the state
officers, who will wait for the state
to redeem it when the legislature meets
next winter.

street. next Sunday, at and p. M,
and on Monday at p. M, to hear the
reports ard suggestions of the four
committees appointed week or so ago
at the Berkeley lyceum.
The committee on organization, ac-
cording to the forecast. has fifteen sug
gestions to make. Here are the first
three:
"The purpose of the home colony is
to simplify the domestic problem. Upon
the physical side its ideal should be

beauty, cleanliness and efficiency OF

"In their intellectual, social, and
spiritual life it's members desire to be

should involve no social obligations
whatever, and there should be absolute
freedom Of grouping and association.
while claiming absolute liberty
themselves, the members recognize
their obligations not to interfere with
others. The board of directors should
have power to prohibit nuisances.'
The shares of the New York home
colony should be $1,000 each, the COM

The eighth suggestion of the COM

TO any white person of good moral
character, who is free from ccmmuni-

all applicants, and which should be
empowered to reject any person.

et. Petersburg. Aug. 11.-Granf'
Duke Nicholas Nichilevitch narrowly
escaped assassination yesterday at the
hands of the imperial guards in camp
ct Krasnoyeselvo. 1t appears that the
duke was personally reviewing the
maneuvering and putting the troops
fru a blank firing practice when he
suddenly was startled by wasp-like
hiss of bullets about his head. Forum
ately neither himself nor his horse was
touched The command to cease firing
was Immediately given, and the SOL
diers marched back to their quarters.
An Investigation was begun, in the
hope OF ascertaining which soldiers
fired the ball cartridges. Several ar
rests are understood to have been
made. The attempt on the dukes life
caused an immediate change in the
1lans Of the emperor, who had arrang-
ed 60 to Krasnoyselo today.
It is learned that the troops were in
extended order and engaged in volley
firing when the accident occurred,
rendering it difficult to determine the
regiment from which bullets came. The
grand duke, surrounded by officers and
aides, was off on one side, out of the
line of fire. The affair has created a
deep impression in military circles,
and is the one topic of conversation
in the clubs. but the attempt on the
grand dukes life is not generally
known here, and no word on the sub
ject has been published in the newspa-
pers.

DENVER BATTLE is HOT.
Fight Over Alleged Election Frauds
Rages FierceIy in Two Courts.

Denver, Aug. 1.-THE public untility
corporations and the municipal own
ership party had several hard battles
Tuesday in two courts, and both are
resting on their arms awaiting a de-
cision by the only member of the SUI
preme court who could be found. Both
court rooms were crowded and excite
ment was intense all day.
The question as to whether the cor
porations, with both of the chief po-
litical parties and many city officials
aiding, secured franchies worth $685.
100000 by fraud and whether it will be
possible for the municipal ownership
people to complete their case in court
against such great odds, is as far from
settlement as ever.
Exciting events Of the day were the
refusal of two prominent witnesses to
be sworn and the blocking Of Judge
Lindseys order to bring the ballot
boxes into court.
The first move of the day was an
district court to prohibit Judge Lind
sey of the county court from proceed
ing with the investigation of alleged
election frauds. This was also refused.
When Judge Lindsey opened court
attorneys for the corporations asked
delay until they could prepare an ap-
plication to the supreme court on the
question of jurisdiction. This also
was refused.
The. Wadley election contest case
proceeded. H. Wadley. a taxpayer.
claims to have evidence that the cor
porations procured options on cheap
suburban property, paid fractional
taxes thereon and turned over the tax
receipts to their employees, who were
made to appear as tay-paying elect
orS.
The first witness was F. A. Will
Jams, chairman of the republican coun-
ty central committee, who is supposed
to know the method of making the
bogus tax receipts. He refused to be
sworn, was adjudged in contempt, but
released on condition that he appear
when called again.
J. Cook Jr, who handled the real
estate end of the deal, also refused
to testify and a similar sentence was
passed by the court.
Counsel for Wadley then moved

many fraudulent votes be brought into
court. Judge Lindsey ordered the sher-
iff to bring 1T. In few minutes Sher-
iff Nesbit, who is classed with the cor
poration faction, telegraphed that the
ballot box custodian appointed by the
election commissioners held a shotgun
guard over them and refused to give
them up. Judge Lindsey was noticeably
angry and issued mandatory writ
ordering the sheriff to have the ballot
box in court in the morning.
While all this was going on attor-
neys for the corporations called Judge
F. a. Bailey to the state supreme
court chambers and filed an application
for a writ of injunction against Judge
LINDSEY on the ground that the county
court had no jurisdiction.

The board has closed up practically
all the large contracts which were

The board finds that even with the
steady ipsrease of cost Of building ma

a still fLs85er increase this year, and
that all CT tracts call for more money
than before Especially has there
been an increase in the cost of lum-
