Miller has startled the politicians and
injected ginger into the gubernatorial
race by an epistolary stunt watch
crowns him Indiana's Ready Letter
Writer" As candidate Mr. Miller
is displaying several pronounced Ma
poleonic traits, among them a disposi-
ton to force the flight. His aggres-
sive operations since he announced
his candidacy a few days ago have
been the synosure of all political OBJ
servers. He has pried the campaign

Mr.. Milier's epistolary lombard

served as a sharp reminder that the
governorship contest is on and that
other aspirants would do well to get
busy.

During the last day or two Mr. Mil

self as a candidate and asking for
their support. He tells them that
northern Indiana never had a COVER
nor and is entitled to one; that he is
no mans candidate and is not identi-

one of these letters has been signed
by Mr.. Miller personally. Each let

burden incident to a rejoiner, but

In fact, several leaders who were at
the Claypool hotel today, admitted
that they felt as if they had been hit
squarely in the political vitals by Mr..
Miller's epistles. There were not
many who talked that way. but those
who did were in dolorous frame OF

yet ready to show their hand and that
they would have to cudgel their brains

PRESIDENT SMALL OPTIMISTIC
AS TO TELEGRAPHERS' STRIKE
Claims That Ninety-five Per Cent Of
Operators Are Out and Will etay
Out Until They Win.

New York.-S. J. Small, president
of the Commercial Union OF Teleg
raphers arrived in New York Sunday
morning from the west. Speaking OF
the strike situation. he said:
I'VE have full 95 per cent OF all the
commercial telegraphers in the Unit
ed States on strike. This applies 10
small and large cities. Thousands OF
one-man offices are closed, and the
keys to the doors are in possession
Of city officials, TO be turned over 10
the inspectors OF the company when
they arrive. We have started to
raise large fund-two OF them in
fact. One of these is for the benefit
OF the strikers. and the other to be ex-
pended In propaganda work in favor
OF government control of the tele-
graph. Although the call for funds
has only been out for few days,
many remittances were received be-
fore left Chicago and, strange to say,
as much was received for the cam
paign fund as for the benefit OF the
strikers. Much has been published
about arbitration, but the cry from
coast to coast is No arbitration"

Seattle, Wash.-What is believed to

United States mails ever discovered is
now In operation in Alaska. Word has
Just been received from the coast that
the third pouch is missing In a month
has been reported at Skagway
The sack contained $4,000 In gold

Postonice inspectors already In the
north working on two former robberies
have taken up the latest loss. IL is
almost certain that the sacks were
stolen In transit on the Yukon river
boats between this point and Dawson.
Several men are under suspicion,
but no arrests have been made.
Ever since gold dust shippers decid-
ed to use the mails In sending out the
precious metal instead OF patronizing
the express companies as previously,
because of increased tariff. trouble
has existed. The change necessitates
the employment of guards by the gov
eminent to watch the gold shipments.
AS they have been practically un-
guarded up to date, robberies are easy,
and II Is believed that thefts have re-
suited from the systematic operations
Of bandits working with wcll-laid
plans.

Injured by the Frightened
Crowd.

San Francisco.-An explosion which
occurred Saturday morning in the Du-
pont powder works at Sobranto on the

panic and the injury of a number
of people in this city. When the ex-
plosion was heard by the thousand en-
ployes of the California Fruit Cannery
association, who were at work in the
big establishment of the company at
the foot of Van Ness avenue, they
thought 1t was caused by an earth
quake and made a mad rush to escape
to the streets. During the stampede
a number of persons were thrown
down and trampled upon. So far as
Is known no one was killed, but many
were badly hurt. Several ambulances
were at once sent to the scene and
all the aid possible was extended to
the injured.
The main crush occurred in the
main hallway of the building into
which nearly all of the 500 women en-
ployes rushed Those below somehow
slammed the heavy doors leading to
the street and the hundreds of women
who threw themselves headlong down
the stairs were crushed again the

Lieutenant Wright arrived with

New York.-Congressman Roberts.
of Massachusetts, who, with other
members of the naval committee, in.
yestigated the needs of the Brooklyn
navy yards, makes the statement that
the trip of the battleships via Magel-
Ian is for tactical reasons alone.

going by the hard route will determine
some of our needs in the Pacific, par
ticularly in the matter of coahng sta

that a million dollars will be used no

clans wish to determine certain things

Representatives Foss. chairman Of
the naval committee, said the commit
Zee would probably ask congress to
authorize the construction of four
more battleships. He said:

minds now that it is necessary to
maintain a large fleet in the Pacific.
Our interests on that coast are too
great to do otherwise"
