USE OF DYNAMITE
SHEA LONGED FOR PRACTICAL
 BOMB THROwERS.
Expressed Desire for Experts In Russ sian Strike Methods to Kelley During the Uprising of
 Teamsters' Union.

Chicago, Dec. 11.-4Claude Boiler, for merly manager of the tailoring depart ment of Montgomery Ward & Co. was recalled to the witness stand today in the Shea trial today for cross-examina- tion.
 The atorneys for the defense sought to induce Boiler to say that acts of vio- fence which he had witnessed during the strike in the vicinity of the Ward establishment might have been caused by others than the members of the teamsters' union. The witness hd- hered to his story as originally told. Attorney Le Boskey, who was con luct- ing the cross examination, charged Judge Ball with being unfair to the defense. Judge Ball made no reply.
 Michael Kelley, formerly business agent of the market drivers union. and now a member of the police force, fol- lowed Boiler on the stand. The wit ness said that in pursuance of orders received from President Shea he had purchased acid which was placed in egg shells to be thrown on the horses of Montgomery Ward & Co.
 He also said he heard Steve Sumner of the milk drivers union order his men to fill their pockets with stones with which they should knock the scabs off the wagons" In the after noon, Kelly testified that on one occa- sion Shea had asked him If he knew of two good men who could handle dy- namite.
 He said that he replied in the mega tive, and Shea said he knew of two men in Pennsylvania who could handle it if he only had them fin Chicago. The at torneys for the defense objected stren- uously to the introduction of testimony relating to the proposed use of dyna- mite, and the jury was excluded while the question was argued upon. Judge Ball finally ruled that the evidence was admissible.
 Kelly also testified that knives had been distributed among the teamsters' pickets to be used on the negroes who had taken the places of the striking teamsters. The knives were also, he said, to be used in cutting harness.

 Washington, Dec. 11-Former United State Senator Brown, who was shot down in his room last Saturday by Mrs. Anna M. Bradley, Is gradually sinking, and his death may occur at any mo- ment.
 According to a bulletin given out at 7:45 o'clock at the emerg Slcy hospital, the Senator's physician does not ex- pect the patient to live through the night.

 Power to Bosses.


 Washington, Dec. 11.-While the , executive appropriation bill was under
 consideration in the House today Rep
 resentative DeArmond, of Missouri,
 spoke at length on the advisability of
 general revision of the constitution. saying that many of the articles might
 be amended to suit conditions. He contended that the principle of initiative and referendum should be
 written into the constitution. He cal1-
 ed attention to tn edlseussion going on throughout the country over. the length of the presidents term and he was of
 the opinion that something should re done toward meeting the desires of this large element.
 New constitutions of the eVeral states said MT. DeArmond, "are plac- 1 ing in the hands of the executive pow CT to veto items in appropriation bills.
 This power should be given to the
 president, for it would be of incalcuI-
 able benefit and protect the treasury | in numberless ways
 That Congress should meet shortly
 after election and not thirteen months
 after was another sug.ges lion. He all
 so contended for a more expeditous way
 of removing federal judge recrtant to his trust.

DIsCLAIM TREATY.
America Has But Little to do With AI-
 GeciraH Affair

gectras A6atr.
 Washington, Dec. 11.--When the AL geciras treaty in relation to Moroccan l affairs is taken up in the Senate to- ! morrow, there will be offered a resolu- ton to follow the resolution of ratif-
 cation, which will recite that the Uni ted States participates in the agree
 ment merely for the promotion of it's
 trade interests and the protection of its citizens and to aid in the effort to
 preserve peace between some of the parties to the Moroccan treaty of 1880. {. It will declare further that while be- coming a party to the treaty for these purposes, 1t is not the intention of this country to depart from the traditional policy which prohibits participation in the political affairs of Europe which do not concern America.
 The disclaimer of responsibility for the AIgeciras treaty was drafted by Senators spooner, Lodge and Bacon as a result Of an argument by Senator Bacon that 1t would be inconsistent for thel United States to interfere in the internal affairs of European states and at the same time deny to European powers the right to participate in poe litical affairs of the Western Hemis- phere,

MINE LABOR DEMAND
 GREATER THAN SUPPLY.
Working Days in Pennsylvania Reduced By Holidays and StriIKes--Mr. Mitch- ellis Complaint Answered.


 Nashville Banner. .....l
 In the address of Mir. L. J. Ellis of New York at the Southern Immigration Congress he made some remarks con- cerning immigration and labor in the coal mines that did not appear in the condensed newspaper reports of his speech. On that subject MT. Ellis said:
 "The highly respected President of the United Mine Workers of America, Mir. John Mitchell. in an argument at a recent conference of the Immigration Committee of the Civic Federation in New York City in favor of greater re- striction of foreign immigration, made a statement which has been industri- Ously circulated throughout the coun- try.
 If the statement is wholly true, it would be a valid and strong argument. But it is not wholly true. It states only part of the truth and deserves to be corrected. The statement is: There certainly must be room for inn provement when in these days of un- precedented prosperity 60O,0O0 mine workers are allowed to work but 200 days in the year in collieries, and are willing to work 300 days
 "A high authority shows the fallaCy of MT. Mtchelrs statement as an ar gument in the following language: Tn the first place. 200 days is the average and in arriving at this average 1t must be taken into account that there are some mines that are almost disquali- fled for service that they may not be operated more than fifty or 100 days a year The more modern mines, and those most favorably located, are able to work and do work, practically every working day that the miners are will ling to work.

Providence and The Star.


From Printers lux
A correspondent sends us an article from
the Washington Cd. Co. Newsletter, in
which one Bishop Sabin dIscourses the
impossibility OF anything being lost. pro-
vdIng We believe implicitly in Providence
and affirm vigorously that nothing can be
lost The bishop continues:
think the most notable case Of that kind
I ever knew Of was this. A couple OF
ladies were on their way from Boston to
New Orleans. That was several years ago.
There was snow on the ground and I had
my Office down In the city then. They
came into the Office quite early in the morn
ing as they wanted to talk with me. Then
they told me that they had lost a diamond
ring, and 1t was especially valuable be-
cause of it being an old heirloom. l said
it could not be lost and put notice In
The Star telling where to return the ring.
! was to send it on to them. They went
away that night. During that day, however.
there was a gentleman walking along Penn
sylvania avenue. He saw a diamond ring
lying in the snow, kind of dirty snow that
had been walked on. He picked 1t up. OF
course, not knowing to whom 1t belonged.
He read The Star that evening and saw the
notice telling where to take 1t, and he took
1t there and left 1t. 1t Is wonderful how
these things occur.
Does The Star get any credit for the sue
cess of this affirmation"

More Light.

The order of the District Commissioners
extending the city lighting system along
Military. Grant and Rock Creek Ford roads
and Rittenhouse street is a praiseworthy
order. Every candle power of light added
to the city's lighting system is a gain for
all the people. Lights should be strung
along all the ways of the city and Its envir-
ons as fast as the funds can be obtained. 1t
does not pay to stint the light Of a city.
Evil and darkness are partners and to
Danish darkness Is to discourage evil. Light
dissolves the partnership 1t may be said
that the best lighted section of some cities
is the wickedest section but think of what
that section would be If the light were
turned off. The common criminal, the cut
purse, the footpad. and the general robber
do not like a street lamp.
Lighting a way encourages travel on it.
When citizens come before the Commits
sioners asking for lights along a particular
way they should be given most respectful
hearing. and, where possible. the lights.
They plead good cause. Asking for lights
is a symptom of good citizenship.

Iowa.

Boiling is spreading in Iowa. First came
the republican bolt, and now comes demo-
cratic bolt. The question arises, therefore.
will Governor Cummins or the democratic
candidate for governor lose the more votes
as the result of the dsquieture? II the
democrats are to win at the polls 1t will be
necessary for them to pick UP all the votes
which may stray from, the republican camp.
Everything has been ones.ued so long in
Iowa that the republican figures are for
midable. A great many voters on that
side might sulk without endangering Gov.
Cummins' chances But should they do
more than that. and go over to the opposi-
ton. they would count double. The cam
paign everywhere is warming up, and we
should all rejoice in the fact. Competition
is at once the life Of trade and the hope
of decent politics.
