Cypress an hired servant that is poor
and needy, whether he be of thy breth-
rem or of thy strangers that are In thy
land and within thy gates.
The striking job printers who are
striving for an eight-hour day have re-
sorted to the use of the scripture in
their fight with the Methodist Book
Concern, one of the publishing houses
which has refused to grant the shorter
working day. The foregoing biblical
quotation is the slogan of the strikers
and it will appear on the title page Of
a little booklet which is to be sent to
every Methodist minister in Chicago in
a few days. ..-
.. Printers Discoveries.
The printers have made several dis.
coveries regarding the church publish
ing house. One of the charges against
the concern is that ii shows remarkable
inconsistency in the quality of Etera-
ture issued from its presses. As proof
of this fac-similes of advertisements
appearing in publications printed by
the house are reproduced in the booklet.
One of these advertisements tells in
glowing terms of the merits of GER
tain long and short Scotch whisky.
"Buy direct from the distiller and get
the best,' is the wording of a portion
of the Objectionable advertisement
Beneath the reproduction is the fol-
lowing terse statement by the printers
official:
"Types which point the way to the
straight and narrow path used in the
publication issued by the Methodist
Book Concern were used in printing
this advertisement
Cocktails, Also.
Then there are reproductions of adj
vertisements which gave detailed de-
scriptions of the methods used to get
"the highest perfection" in certain
we'll known cocktails. drinks that have
been. the subject of many sermons.
Names Of other fancy and mixed drinks
were printed in a manner calculated to
make almost anybody thirsty.
Another argument brought forward
by the printers to show the inconsist-
ency Of the publishing house is the
Ul StllIol1di 1AoIn
the Christian Herald of Feb. 3d. The
editorial is entitled ga Crooked Adver-
tisement," and criticizes newspapers
which printed an advertisement for
whisky which was "to be used in cele-
brating Lincoln IS birthday in a proper
manner
The drinks bore the name of the
dead emancipation. On the opposite
page of the booklet was shown re-
production Of the same advertisement
which had been printed on the presses
of the Methodist Book Concern.

BUTTE ORE COMPANIES

Two Concerns Are Reported to Have

Special to The Journal.
Boston, March 24.-Interests identi-
fed with North Butte and the Butte
Coalition Mining companies, it is un-
derstood, have been lending $6,OO0,0O0
and 100000 from the Overlooking
treasury of these two companies. Each
company is earning more than 100000
"a month and dividends are accumulat-
ing. The Butte Coalition company will
probably pay out about $3,5OO,OOO next
month to the United Copper company
4or the properties that were recently
transferred in the Montana copper war
settlement. | .&.
When the United Copper company
receives it's entire $14,O00,OOO in cash,
{ it will probably consider the question
of retiring its $5,000,000 worth of 6
per cent preferred stock.

SANTA FEE TO BUILD
STEEL SMOKING CARS

Special to The Journal
Chicago, March 24.-The Santa Fe
management has ordered fifty steel
under-frame smoking cars for use on
all Of it's transcontinental trains. The
first Of these cars will soon be delivered,
and it is the purpose Of the company
to supplant all present wooden frame
smoking cars by steel frame cars.
It is stated that the construction of
the new cars is such that they will be
able to withstand as great shock as the
Pullman cars. Experience is at last
teaching railway men that most of the
fatalities in railroad wrecks occur in
the smoking and buffet cars at the head
end. These cars are usually Of light,
wooden frame construction.

Labor strongholds.

Organized labor would expect to be
the strongest in the doubtful states,
such as Indiana, where it would hope
to- hold the balance of power, also in
such states as California and Colorado,
where labor is strongly entrenched, and
in states having great cities, notably
Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylva-
MIA, Illinois, Ohio and Missouri. It
would also expect to poll heavy vote
in Nebraska, Kansas and Minnesota.
In st. Paul and Minneapolis, it is
asserted by labor experts here, there
are enough labor votes to carry the
day any moment united action is agreed
upon, not only insuring control of those
cities, but of the state as well in any
contest fairly evenly balanced between
the two old parties.
New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg,
Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Chicago, Minneapolis, ST. Paul, Denver,
st. Louis and San Francisco are re-
fererd to as the great labor capitals of
the country.

of a disease that makes him mentally
and morally incapable Of seeing the
criminal offenses in the acts of a rich
and highly fedged offender, however
shocking those acts may be. The dis

itself in the knees and causes the man
afflicted with it at once to evade, when
he comes into the presence Of anyone

Perkins to Be Prosecuted.
In view Of the instructions given to
the grand jury by Judge O'sullivan
yesterday, when he said that body must
be the judge as to whether or not there
was criminal intent on the part of those
life insurance officials who gave their
companies funds to political parties,
District Attorney Jerome will take the
decided stand Monday that the whole
question Of the law may be thoroly
tested. III
His plan Of action is likely to be on
the lines he mapped out when he asked
Judge O'Sulivan to sit as a magis-
trate and hear the case Of the people
against George W. Perkins, who adj
mitted before the Armstrong legislative
committee that he had paid $4,000 to
Cornelius N. Bliss as treasurer of the
National Republican committee. A
warrant calling for the arrest Of Mr..
Perkins on a charge of larceny will
be prepared. Then, in all likelihood,
this will be placed before one Of the
magistrates, or one Of the Judges Of
special sessions court, and he will be
asked to sign the warrant for the ar
rest Of Mr.. Perkins. On the complaint
laid before him the magistrate will be
bound to do so without going into the
question of criminal intent.

confidence in their presiding officer,
the members gave him a vote which was
so per cent greater than that of last
year.

that have their headquarters in this
particular bailiwick, the county Of New

ENFORCE EIGHT-HoUR LAW.
Attorney General Moody Issues Let
ter of Instructions.


Washington, Nov. 14.-Attorney
General Moody has issued a circular
letter of instructions to United States
attorneys regarding prosecutions Of
violations of the eight-hour law, in
which he says the government is de-
termined upon a strict enforcement
of this statute as relating to public
works of the United States.
In the last ten weeks as many as
300 alleged violations have been re-
ported.
All United States attorneys are d.
rected rigidly to Investigate all COM
plants which may come to them from
any source of violation of the law and
upon their own initiative to make in
vestigation if there appears any rea-
sonable ground for suspecting viola
ton and If sufficient evidence be Sc
cured it must be submitted to grand
jury with the view to securing a pos
sible indictment. Mr.. o. J. Carlton,
lawyer of Haverhill, Mass, has been
appointed by the attorney general to
have special charge of these cases in
the department Of justice. Mr.. Carl
ton will act in conjunction with Com
missioner O'Neill of the bureau Of Ia
Dor, who has furnished much of the
evidence upon which the government
is now acting.

Breyvster Was . DANDY.

Benjamin Harris Brewster, one time
attorney general, was most unique
character. According to his idea, he
was always faultlessly attired, and his
makeup once seen would never be for
gotten. He usually wore a bell shaped
white silk high hat with long whiskers
on it, plated and frilIed white shirt
front, with high standing collar, car
dinal necktie or scarf, buff waistcoat,
maroon colored Prince Albert coat
with gold buttons, yellow trousers,
patent leather shoes and soft frilled
cuffs, which matched his shirt front,
around his wrists. On the thumb Of
his left hand was an amethyst ring
encircled with perfectly matched dia-
monds and a bunch of old fashioned
seals In heavy gold settings dangled
from his watch fob. This was his
usual makeup when he attended to
business at his Office, which was in the
old Freedmen's bank building, oppo-
site the treasury department, or visit
ed the United States supreme court to
participate in cases which concerned
the government. His voice was pitch
ed In high key, and this popularity
was intensified by his sartorial getup,
which always made him conspicuous
at any gathering. Apparently he was
oblivious of the sensation which his
appearance almost invariably created.

New YORK italian Kills Alleged Mem.
Der OF Black Hand.
New York, Nov. 14.-In the pres.
srce of scores of men and women hur-
rying through Mott street, In the Ital.
ian quarter, Enrico Pavone shot and
killed Nunziato Legato. Pavone, who
was arrested, claims that the killing
was justified, as Legato, who had rep
resented himself as an agent of the
Black Hand society and demanded
money, would have killed him had he
not fired first. A revolver, fully load
ed, was found on Legato's body.
Pavone submitted to arrest quietly
and readily admitted that he fired the
fatal shot. Pavone said that Legato
learned few days ago that he saved
several hundred dollars which he pro-
posed to use in bringing his wife and
children to this country. Two days
ago Legato came to him and repre-
sented himself as an agent Of the
Black Hand, demanded that Pavone
contribute $500 to the society. The
money was to have been paid at the
corner of Mott and Grand streets and
both men kept the appointment. Pa
vone said he had only $28 with him
and this he offered to Legato. The
latter refused to accept anything but
the full amount, however, and Pavone
declares Legato made motion as If
to draw a weapon from his hip pocket
Then PavOne fired.

st. Paul, Nov. lathe United
States circuit court of appeals has
handed down a decision affirming the
judgment of the United States district
court in sentencing Thomas B. Glenn
ent, the Faribault banker, to eight
years in the state penitentiary.
Clement was indicted in the United
States district court for making false
entries and wilful Interpretations Of
the funds and credits of the First
National bank of Faribault, of which
he was president. He challenged the
panels of the grand and petit juries,
because they were drawn from the dis
trict at large and were not composed
of persons who resided in the Third
division of the district He demur-
red to some counts of the indictment
on the ground of duplicity. He NOV
ed for a continuance of the case at
the time it was first set for trial, on
the ground that his physical infirmi-
ties disabled him from preparing for
trial. At the close of the case he
demurred to the evidence on the
ground that it failed to. establish the
commission of any of the offenses
charged. He filed motion in arrest
of judgment on the ground that the
indictment charged no criminal Of
lenses.
These challenges, demurrers and
motions were overruled and denied
and the defendant was found guilty
on twenty-four of the twenty-seven
counts. T. =

NEW JERSEY sENAToRsHlP.
Conference at Trenton Apparently
Without Result.

Trenton, N. j., Nov, 14.-This was
day Of conferences on the part Of
Republican leaders The question on
Ill sides was the election of United
States senator in succession to John
F. Dryden, who was on the ground
himself. Nothing seemed to have de-
veloped as the result of the confer
ence. The man to whom the opposi-
ton to Senator Dryden is turning is
Governor Stokes, but the governor,
while refraining from coming out
openly for Mr.. Dryden. says he is not
a candidate.
Under the New Jersey election the
governor cannot be elected to another
public position while holding Office.
While this is in contravention of a
rule of the United States senate it
has the effect of making some mem.
bers hesitate in declaring for Gov.
ernor Stokes. Senator Dryden and
his supporters are claiming pledges
from a very large majority of Republic

San Francisco, Nov. 14.-The Call
says:
It has become known in federal cir
cles that recent locations of land in
Kern county by agents of the Stand
ard Oh company have been made the
subject of investigation by govern
ment officials. AS result it Is as
serted indictments will follow. The
land was taken up by the petroleum
combine ostensibly for the gypsum de.
posits, but in reality for oil purposes.
That the character of the land had
been carefully studied is shown by
the fact that flowing oil we'll has
already been developed.
The inquiry is being made through
the Office of United States Attorney
Devlin of San Francisco. Federal
agents have been at work for several
weeks in Kern county. From their
preliminary reports it is believed that
the manner in which the land was Sc
cured will warrant indictments on the
part Of the federal grand jury.
The evidence gathered by these
agents will be placed in the hands of
United States Attorney Robert T. Dew
