Miners ARE
LEGALLY HELD

Washington, Dec. 4.-The federal
supreme court has denied the hapeas
corpus of Meyer. Haywood and Petit
pone, the representatives of the West
ern Federation of Miners, who are now
held in prison in Idaho on the charge
OF completely in the murder of ex-Gov-
ernor Steunenerg, adversely to the men.
The opinion WAS py Justice Harlan.
The effect of the decision will pc to
contiue to hold the men for trial in
Idaho.
OF the men involved, Charles II.
Meyer is president; w. d. Haywood
secretary treasurer, and George A. Pet
tibone, memer of the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners. They are now in pris-
on at Boise, Idaho, under a charge of
numbering Ex-Governor Frank Steunen-
berg of that state, although it was not
charged that they were present when
the crime was committed. The cases
came to this court ON an appeal from
a decision of the Idaho federal court,
refusing to grant writs of habeas cor
pus. The milan point was the method
" Wh1Sh hhO 1udiiO dutIOTItl6S secured
Jurisdiction over the men, All of them
are residents of Colorado and it was al
legged on behalf of Meyer and his asso-
ciates that they were kidnapped in pur-
suance OF a conspiracy to which the
governor of Colorado and the Idaho
authorities were parties, and hence
that Jurisdiction was acquired by
fraud.
Justice Harlan said that in the ha-
beas corpus in federal courts the meth
cd OF extradtiion of the defendants was
not material. The merits Of the cases
were not involved, as that phase was
not presented. The only question in
volved was the right of te state courts
to proceed with the cases.
Justice McKenna delivered a dissent
ing opinion holding that Meyer, Hey
wood and Pettibone had right to in
woke the aid of the federal courts to
correct improper methods used in se-
curing their extraditlon. He said that
kidnapping under the law is no moro to
be justified than when performed out
sdie the law where every effort of au-
thority is used to prevent and punish it.

confidence, japanese ceased to be agi-

newspapers are emphatically moderate
in all their notices of the affair and
so far as the Japanese nation is con-
cerned, there is absolutely no reason
for the revival of the newspaper no
toriety in this country"

ALL THE WEST SHORT OF FUEL
A Single Heavy Snow May Preclpltate
Calamity.

Denver, Col. Dec. with winter
at hand and more or less serious rail-
road blockades threatened at any
time, the entire country west of the
Missouri river and almost from the
Canadian border to the Rio Grande.
Is running literally on little more than
a handful of coal At hardly any city
in the west is there more than one or
two days supply of fuel on hand.
Many manufacturing industries have
actually been compelled to suspend
business for lack of coal The supply.
even for the peoples homes, may be
cut off with the first severe storm.
With single heavy snow positive
danger will take the place of incon-
venience.
Managers of the transportation and
coal companies attribute the condition
to the country's unprecedented growtl,
and to the enormous demands upon
them. Having delayed too long, they
are bending every energy to replenish
the fuel supply.
The consumers generally do not &C.
cept this explanation. They say the
trouble is due to the clutch of mo.
nopoly on the mines of Wyoming.
Utah, Colorado and other western
states. In proof Of this assertion they
point to the disclosures before the
interstate commerce commission, dur.
ing last weeks hearing at Salt Lake
City.
1t is estimated that the fuel supply
would be ample but for the seizure of
all valuable coal properties along the
railroad rights of way and to the check
put by heavy freight charges on de-
velopHent by independent firms.
