MAN IN PLAIN VIEW ON
SPOKANE BRIDGE.
POLICE SAY he HAS LONG RECORD

After entering a plea Of guilty last
Saturday morning to the charge OF
highway robbery, Frank Warner, alias
Martin Serick, the holdup artist who
coolly robbed o. c. Hayl on Howard
street bridge before o'clock on the
evening of October II, while people
were passing, was sentenced by Judge
Huneke to a term of Is years in the
penitentiary, says the Spokane Chron-
icle.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney A. j.
Laughon, VINO appeared for the prose-
cution, informed the court that there
was little chance for doubt that the
defendant Warner was the man who
held up the keystone bar few days
previous to the incident on the bridge,
as articles found upon Warner were
identified as having come from this
saloon. 1t was also represented to the
court that Warner had in his posses
sion at the time Of his arrest burglars
tools such as skeleton keys and nip
pers.
The defendant denied being impli-
Gated with the episode at the Key
stone bar, but admitted holding up
Hay on the bridge. He stated, how
ever. that he did not know how he
came to commit the robbery, and
thought he must have been intoxicated
as he did not know how to 40 sucn a
job when sober.
1.-THE crime is a most serious one, +"
observed the court, land the maximum
penalty provided by the statute is 20
years Imprisonment, but in consider
alton of the fact that you pleaded
guilty your sentence will be Is years. -

FIRE IN COAL MINES

Hereafter the breaker-boys will con-
stitute a new and effective obstacle
to fires in coal mines The Delaware
& Hudson company has recently or
ganized at their colliery No. in East
End, Pennsylvania, fire fighting bril-
gade composed Of the breaker boys
employed at the colliery. The fire
company is regularly differed and is
being thoroughly drilled, the boys be-
ing paid extra by the coal company
for all the time they spend in practice
drills. The boys are greatly inter-
ested in the new work. They have re-
sponded with unusual quickness to sew
eral test alarms of fire, and the officials
of the coal company are much pleased
with the result of the experiment.
The coal company maintains a fire
brigade of it's own, composed of out
side hands, at nearly all its collieries.
The mine officials believe that the
breaker-boys, by reason of their daring
and greater agility, will make better
fire fighters than the older men, and
will be an effective aid to the COM
pany's efforts to remove the fire dan
ger from coal mines.

greatest public work ever undertaken

"While recognizing the necessity for
the employment of inmates of our
penal institutions so that they may be

I'm the interest of all of our people,

general demand, we have urged con-
gress for some tangible relief from
the constantly growing evil of induced
and undesirable immigration, but with

immigration and responsive to the de-
1nands of the people congress years
ago enacted an effective Chinese ex-
clusion law; yet, despite the expert

proposed to invalidate that law and
reverse the policy.

New York, March %. Andrew Ham
ilton, former legislative agent for the
New York Life Insurance COMPANY,
has sent reply to the Fowler inyesti-
eating committee OF that company de
clining to appear before the commit
tee to be examined as to his work for
the company. In this reply he charges
the committee with undue haste in it's
charges against him and says that if
the committee had waited while and
not rushed SO soon into print with pre-
mature conclusions it would have
been in Letter position today and
more justice would have been done
to him and to the policyholders.
The communication is in response
to an invitation sent to Mr.. Hamilton
soon after his return from Europe in
which he was asked to furnish evi-
dence to the Fowler committee.

are employed with negro moulders and

shot and wounded a negro. The cause
of the shooting is not known, but it is

perverted SO as TO attack and destroy
personal freedom and in a manner to
hold that the employer has some
property rights in the labor of the
Workmen. Instead of obtaining the re.

ously threatened with statutory ,au-

'.The committee on labor of the
house of representatives was insti-
tuted at the demand of labor to voice
its sentiments, to advocate its rights

past two congresses this committee
has been SO organized as to make in
etfectual any attempt labor has made
for redress. This being the, fact in the
last congress labor requested the
speaker to appoint on the committee
of labor members who from their ex-
perience,e. knowledge and sympathy
would render in this congress such
service as the committee was orig
inally designed to perform. Not only
was labor's request ignored but the
