ORGANIZED LABOR TO
DEMAND SQUARE DEAL
Will Enter Political Field and
Fight It's Battle There
With Vigor.
Safe and Sane Platf orm-Much
Good Expected to
r. Follow.

The indications in connection with
the organization Of the Chicago Pro-
tective Alliance are usually propitious
for an effective movement of labor in
terests in politics. The number of
labor organizations represented at the
first convention was large, the attend
ance was representative. the platform
is on the whole a sound one and sane
ly radical, and the tactics are the
most encouraging yet displayed by
any labor movement in American pol
itics. Among the demands Of the plat
form are direct nominations, the in
itiative and referendum. the recall,
public ownership of utilities, local op-
ttons as to subjects Of taxation, trial
by jury in labor injunction cases, and
city charter giving complete local
control Of local affairs. The essential
political principle declared is the in
dividual liberty of each person to pur-
sue natural enjoyments so long as he
does not interfere with the equal
rights or liberties Of others. It is
fashionable TO be con temptuous Of Ia
Dor movements; but the classes that
hold such movements in contempt,
have yet to lay before the public
fairer and moro A merican PLATFORM of
political principle and purpose than
this. Regarding political tactics, the
new organization plans do not play at
politics by getting off to one side Of
the currents of common thought with
cosey third party. Neither does it
plant 80 into the old parties with its
votes, leaving to the party politicians
the nnanipulations of the parties, the
formulation Of the platforms and the
acquisition Of the political power. It
plans to use it's citing strength at
the primaries of the old parties, to
name their delegates, their candidates
and their politics, and to dictate their
platforms. II the plans are promoted,
as successfully as they have been
1ounched, a new order in American
politics is not far away.-The Public.

What Duluth Heights really Gets From,
City.

What Duluth Heights really Gets From
City.
At the mass meeting the other even
ing 1t was charged that the city was
doing its duty towards Duluth Heights,
but the fact of the matter is that the
city is spending for the support of this
suburb more than twice as much every
year than is paid In taxes. AS start
ling as this may seem, it Is true never
theless The total real estate tax to
the county scarcely exceeds $4,000 from
the Fifth and Sixth divisions Of Duluth
Heights. Out of this must be taken
the state and county tax. The city
paid last year for maintenance on the
Heights the following approximate
sums: Lowell school, four teachers,
janttor, fuel and supplies, $4,000; i'm
provements by Board of Public Works
at Heights proper, $3.50. electric light
ing' $3.50; police, fireman, poundmaster,
$4,000; election purposes, 5000. Total
$3.50. To this might be added $500
for the survey and laying out of a
sewer system for the Heights. On, no,
we are not getting anything up here.
But this financial statement will not
prevent us from getting good deal
more.

New Secretary and Public
Affairs Committeeman.
Some Facts about What Money
Is Being Spent by the City
on Duluth Heights.

The citizens of Duluth Heights met in

Public Affairs committee reported in
detail the result of it's efforts during
the past eight months. The report was
received.
J. u. Walker who has been the faith
full secretary of the committee since
its organization, but who has removed
from the Heights, rendered his reslg-
nation, which was accepted with re-
gret. A hearty standing vote Of thanks
was rendered him for his untiring ef-
forts in behalf Of the Heights.
John Hogan was elected on the Pub
lie Affairs committee. Mr.. Eastman
was elected secretary of the club.
Public affairs was discussed at
length. There was much talk by al
most everybody, and about as many
different opinions expressed as there
were attendants. Some wanted to raise
money for doing work the city ought
to do, while others wanted TO make
Improvement that the city cannot do.
The discussion eliminated in the ap-
pointment of a constitution committee,
which is to report at a meeting to be
held next Wednesday evening. The
purpose is to put the club on finan-
cial basis.

SPANISH WAR VETERAN
ACCUSED OF PERJURY
For Making False Pension Claim
Howard Stearns Must Face
aFederal Jury.

Howard NJ Stearns. a young man
of robust appearance and about %
years old, was arrested yesterday by
United States Special Examiner o. L.
Sues and Deputy United States Mar
shall de Lancie, on a charge OF having
presented a false pension claim.
Stearns served in the Spanish war, and
on February applied for a pension
on the ground that he had received
a permanent injury to his spine while
playing ball at the Presidio.
1t was learned that he had injured
his spine and had been permanently
cured before he enlisted and that he
had not been injured at all as stated
by him. Stearns, 1t is alleged, could
simulate curvature of the spine so well
that he made a board of pension ex-
aminers believe last July that one of
his legs was several inches shorter
than the other
United States Commissioner Heacock
set bail at s25o0 and ordered him to
appear for trial next Saturday morn
ing at 10 o'clock.

In calling the board to order Presi-

it would adopt it. as it was based on
the proposals of the State Tax Com

to s1,000,o0o and with the
whereabouts of two of Its high
est officials unknown to the authorities,
the MISUNDERSTANDING State Bank, one
of the largest outlying banks In the
city, was closed today by State Bank
ment following the announcement of
the failure j. G. Wiser, an official of
the Royal League, who had on deposit
in the bank funds of that organiza-
tfon, fell dead of heart failure. Henry

the savings of a lifetime In the bank, ON
hearing that 1t had Suspended payment,
went to the rear of his store and shot
himself. He died few minutes later,
while being taken to a hospital.
Another sensational feature of the af-
fair was the disappearance of the cash
Ter, Henry W. Herring. and the issuing
of warrant for his arrest on a charge
of embezzlement.
The first public announcement that
the bank was in trouble was the post
ing of a notice at the beginning of

Jones stating that business had been
suspended for the purpose of making an
examination of the banks affairs and
that the institution was in the hands
Of the state Auditor.

those having keys to safe deposit vaults
were allowed to enter. Many burst into
tears when they found that their saw

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

PORTLAND, Or. Aug. s.-An order
has just been issued by Captain H. P.
Howard, acting commandant of Fort
Walla Walla, Wash. excluding Eva
Beller, a seventeen-year-o servant
girl, from the military reservation.
The girl refused to return to the en-
ployment of Mrs. Howard, and insisted
on remaining in the employ Of Lieuten-
ant Holcomb as maid.
The order has caused a sensation in
army circles at the post and Is re-
garded as one of the most remarkable
army. An inquiry by the War De-
partment is rumored.
Eva Beller's home Is at Freewater.
Or, and she was formerly employed
as domestic in Captain Howard S
household. She became iii some time
ago and returned to her home for a
while. When convalescent she was vis-
tied by Mrs. Howard several times, but
when asked to return to her EMPLOY
the girl refused. She later returned
to work for the wife Of Lieutenant Hol-
comb. This reused the ire of the act
ing commandant and brought out the
amazing official order ordering the girl
to leave the post
Lieutenant Holcomb was directed to
report whether the girl was working
for his family, and the peremptory
order followed.
The girl will not be allowed to work
or to reside at the post. Attempts of
Lieutenant Holcomb to calm his supe-
rior by vouching for the girls good
character failed of their purpose, Cap
tain Howard saying in his order that
servants at that post would not be al
lowed to shift from one employer to
another except with the full consent

STATE TAX RATE WILL BE Low.

SACRAMENTO, Aug. s-There is a
possibility that the tax rate of the
State will be reduced to 47.s cents on
the hundred this year. despite the re-
duction of about $15o,o0o,0oo that is
computed as coming from San Fran
cisco. OF course, this rate is COM
puted on the Assessors figures, which
may be materially changed by those
of the Auditor.
Individual members Of the State
Board of Equalization, however, de-
clare that they do not hope to reach
47.s cents. and believe they will be
fortunate If they keep the rate as
low as so cents. Last years rate was
