First News Comes.

Over an hour elapsed before either man
was heard from, and then Ream came
swimming back through the heading.
bringing the first news from the impris-
oned seven. The effort had nearly cX-
hausted Ream. He reported that the
seven men were alive and all in good con-
ditiOn. but that until more pumping was
done the passage to the place where they
had taken refuge was impossible to those
who could not swim. Then II was resolved
to allow them to remain where they were
until the heading had been pumped out.
Ream and his COmTade carried to the
imprisoned men simply a flask Of brandy
and little water. lie reported that Mike
BOlya had. since the breaking of the walls
between the abandoned wOrkmen. been
i'm charge Of the movements of his COM
radeS. BOlya is acquainted with every
turn of the mine. When the flood broke
out he led his comrades to the fUrtheSt
point in the heading where the lover
cast was situated. Under Bolya'S di-
rection each man before fleeing seized his
lunch basket.

This forenoon. following an understand

In reality that concession means more TO

not to bring them out until after the

The men were reached AT 10 o'clock by
Stiney Rodon and Charles Ream. who
made a dash through fifty feet of water

half drowned and reported that portions
of the headings were still completely filled
with water, and that more pumping would
have TO be done before the imprisoned
men could be reached The efforts at
pumping were then redoubled. At 10
o'clock the water had so far gone down

ROD|EK EMITTED TO
CITIZENSHIP PAPERS
Dole Holds Provision OF
Organic Act Holds
Good

That the special act of Congress of
June 20, 1906, creating q general nat
uralization law does not repeal the
naturalization provision of the Organic
Act creating the Territory of Hawaii
is the conclusion of United States Dis
trict Judge Dole. This is held in the
case of George Rodiek, who applied for
naturalization under the provision of
the law giving those who were resi-
dends of these Islands five years be-
fore the Organic Act went into effect
the privilege of becoming citizens
without having declared their inten-
tons two years before applying for
citizenship papers. Rodiek lived here
for more than five years before the Or
ganic Act went into effect but never
became a citizen. Recently he applied
for citizenship papers, and his appli-
cation was opposed by the Govern
ment, represented by U. S. District At
torney Breckons, on the ground that
the naturalization clause of the Or
ganic Act was knocked out by the new
law Judge Dole holds that it was not
and that Rodiek is entitled to his citi-
zenship papers. This decision is an
important one, and the Government
will take an appeal.

THE TRUSTS AND SO-CALLED
PROSPERITY.

There are no two sides TO the ques-
ton as to whether the trusts and
corporations of this country ought
TO be regulated and controlled up to
a certain point, but it is equally GER
tain that efforts to control them. un-
til they reach a point where the ex-
tent to which they will be carried is
clearly ascertained, will upset to a
greater or less degree the business
interests of the country; indeed this
unfortunate condition has already
been reached land to that extent that
the people generally are beginning to
feel its effects. So uncertain is the
condition of affairs at present that
business men are doubtful about in
vestments that for some time have
been considered gilt-edged. Never
theless some steps to check the AFRO
gance OF corporate power are i'm
perative, and have been for some
time. The middle classes. who are
the real backbone of the country.
have been between the upper and the
neither milestone for so long that
they have been practically ground
to powder. With the trusts con
trolling the prices of the necessities OF
life, and arbitrarily fixing same to
suit themselves. which the people are
bound to pay, on the one hand. and
with the labor organizations on the
other fixing the price of labor and
regulating the time during which
and the conditions under which
labor shall be performed, those who
had no finger In the trust pie. and
who do not hire for a daily, weekly
or monthly wage, have been put to
1t indeed to make buckle and tongue
meet In these so-called prosperous
times. The kind of prosperity the
country wants is prosperity in which
all the people can share. The farm
ers constitute the great bulk of the
middle class, and while they have
paid prices, for the necessities OF life.
fixed by the corporations, and have
paid wages TO laborers fixed by the
laborers, they have always had to
sell their products at prices fixed by
the purchaser. The time has come |
when a change must be had. 1t
should be made discreetly and iu-
so as not 20 upset unnec-
essarily business interests, but il
must be made nevertheless, and will
be.
