took his life because he could not
marry his beautiful cousin, Madeline
Laughlin, who on April II became the
wife of Rev. d. McLane Alexander,
pastor of the First Presbyterian church

travelling in Europe.
This is the firm belief of all the

devoted to Miss Laughlin, but both
families frowned on the suit because
she was his cousin.
1t is understood he did not give up
hope of winning Miss Laughlin until
he stood in the First Presbyterian
church and saw her become Mrs. Alex

Then he went home with white

GOLDFIELD, Nev June 6.-Gover-
nor Sparks and Attorney General
Sweeney came here today to learn
what action had been taken last night
by the Miners union in the matter of
the proposed strike against the Western
Union Telegraph company.
The strike had been planned by the
officers of the Industrial Workers of the
World and threatened to involve all of
the union men here. The Miners union
refused to countenance the proposed
strike and this action virtually dis
poses of the threatened trouble.
The Western Union is now conduct
ing business as usual with it's old force.
Governor Sparks spoke very plainly
to the labor people and said that any
violence would be quickly checked by
the national and state governments.

OFFICERS RESCUE
NEGRO PREACHER
INFURIATED MEN CUT DOWN
SERVICE TENT
Audience Ineensed at Criticism Of
the Pastors Daughter Shouts for
Rope and Turbulent Scenes
Ensue

For two hours last night officers beat
back infuriated citizens who were
clamoring to get possession Of Henry
Prentiss, a negro preacher, in tent
on East First street, between ST. Louis
and Cummings street.
Prominent citizens of Boyle Heights
yelled 1et's lynch the dog" and they
were beat back with clubs welded by
policemen.
Henry Prentss was finally brought
to the central station, where he was
held on suspicion awaiting a complaint.
Prentiss is a minister of the gospel
he says, one of the co-workers with
DR.. j. S. Robinson, pastor of the
Church of Cod Last night Mr.
Robinson was i'll and could not attend
the meeting, and. the negro took his
place as leader.
Prentiss spoke at great length about
the work of the church and finally be-
gan to complain of the actions Of sew
er9l members of the organization. The
negro finally began a personal attack
upon q daughter of the pastor. The
man became excited and used what
some regard as uncalled for language.
Then the people rose in wrath ana
made for the negro.
Officers Dyke, Ebert and Cooper heard
the shouting and ran to the tent. When
they arrived the audience was shouting
for rope, and 1t was two hours before
they could leave the tent with their
prisoner. AS soon as the policemen left
the tent men drew knives and cut the
tent to the ground.
At the central station the negro said
he had been rebuking the girl, who did
not believe in the work as it was being
carried on at the church. and that what
he said was only prompted by the
Lord.
He was accompanied to the station
by George Edmonson, who said the girl
was not in sympathy with the work
which was being done. and therefore
her rebuke was justified
The negro was held on suspicion,
pending a complaint which will prob
ably be sworn to today.
The Church of God is said to be
| somewhat similar to that of the Holy
Jumpers. A few days ago an attempt
was made to cut the tent ropes ano
some three weeks ago a man raised &
commotion in the meeting.
The pastor of the church, j. S. Rob
inson, is well known in Boyle Heights

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June e.
The Journal tomorrow will say:
''It is estimated that the busi-

tent of $10,0O00O0 as a result Of
the agitation in connection with

of at least $150,000,000."
Charles w. Armour said yester-

"Al1 this agitation is going to

the hardest to overcome the pre-
judice aroused.
TT will be long time before
the prejudice against American
meats in England is allayed and
1t will be still longer on the conti-

Increasing the number unjustly

Everybody knows how hard it
is to control the meat trade in
Germany and France. The world
is allied commercially against the

American strenuosity that this

elaborated on the suggestion that the

ever in the control of the citizens.
"The three necessary requisites of
good citizenship are intelligence, char
acter and patriotism" he said. Every
time a citizen fails to exercise his
right of franchise he commits trea-
sonable and unpatriotic act.
EVERY officeholder who devotes his
time and attention to personal interests
or to secure his own selfish purpose is
false to his duties as a representative
