IMPORTANT EVENTS
OF COMING WEEK
STANDARD OIL APPEAI-START
F. OF COMMANDER PEARY-
OKLAHOMA CONVENTION

Important events of the coming
week will include the preliminary
steps by attorneys of the Standard
Oil company in their appeal from the
adverse decision of Judge Lands of
Chicago and the imposition of the
most severe money penalty in the
history of the American courts; the
start of Commander Peary in his lat
est expedition in search of the north
pole; the meeting of the Oklahoma
constitutional convention at Guthrie,
and the return of Secretary Taft
from his vacation in Canada.
Just what form the appeal of the
Standard Oil company will take has
not been decided upon definitely as
yet, but undoubtedly the attorneys
for the company, in addition to pro-
testing against the penalty of the
court as excessive and contrary to
the spirit of the law, will protest
against the decision itself as being
unjust and they will declare that the
company is not guilty of any contra
vention of the statutes.
Commander Peary's preparations
will be completed early this week
and the steamer is expected to start
on the long voyage to the north at
an early date.
The last meeting of the Oklahoma
constitutional convention was held
last April. At that time adjourn
ment was taken until August 5th,
when the work will be taken up at
the point where it was temporarily
discontinued nearly four months ago.
Two prominent American mar
riages will be celebrated this week in
foreign countries-that of United
States Senator Albert ]. Beveridge
of Indiana to Miss Katherine Eddy
of Chicago, at the hime of Ambassa-
dor and Mrs. Tower in Berlin, Au-
gust Z, and that of Miss Katrina
Wright, daughter of General Luke
h. Wright, former governor general
of the Philippines and retiring am
bassador to Japan, to Charles Day
Palmer. manager of the Information
al Banking corporation of Manila, at
the American embassy at Toxic, on
August 10.

PUT UNDER ARREST
JACK DONNELL is CHARGED
WITH ASSAULTING "BIG
SLIM"

Jack Donnell, known as "Overcoat
Kid was arrested yesterday after
noon, after striking down man who
was under the influence of liquor.
Not only did he batter his victim, but
after he had knocked him down, he
attempted, it is said. to cut him with
a jackknife.
The man who got the worst of the
encounter is familiarly known as
big Slim 1t seems that he was
considerably under the influence of
liquor when he met "Overcoat Kid. y

opponent in the face, at the same
time giving him the heel. After he
had fallen to the street, the trouble
having occurred on Aultman street,

PROSTATE man squarely on the point
of the jaw. A crowd began to as
semble and Donnell beat a hasty re-
treat.
Deputy Sheriff Norman placed
the young man under arrest, the
prisoner offering some resistance.
The officer searched him, but finding
no weapons, led him to jail Someone
picked up knife in the vicinity OF
where the trouble occurred and gave
it to the officer Several of those who
witnessed the affair state that Over
coat Kidd" was attempting to use
the knife when the crowd closed in,
and some are of the opinion that he
struck big Slim with the closed
weapon.
big Slim" was knocked uncon-
scious and it was three or four min
utes before he recovered. He was
probably knocked out by striking his
head on the ground, although the
hard blow he received after he had
been knocked down no doubt finish
ed the work.
The officers state that the prisoner
has been in several mix-ups of late

The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1907-05-03
has IT COME TO THIS?

The Lincoln Star, which, by the way,
is unusually fair to organized labor as
general proposition, defends Presi-
dent Roosevelt's letter to Honore JaX-
on, in which he reiterates his verbal
assault on Meyer and Haywood. In
making this defense the Star says that
the letter was warranted because it re-
ferred to men whose innocence has
has not been established"
Has it come to this at last?
When men, and especially union men
and officers of unions, are charged with
crime are they to be deemed guilty
until they shall have proved their in
rocence? What has become of the
old theory that every man is deemed
innocent until guilt is established in
open court?
Does the mere dictum of presi-
dent of the United States suffice to
convict men in advance?
The Wageworker has no defense to
make of Meyer and Haywood insofar
as the charge against them is con-
cerned All that The Wageworker
asks is that these men be given,a fair
trial. Once assured of this The Wage
worker will await the outcome with
confidence. But in view of the dirty
methods used to get Meyer and Hay
wood before the VIGOROUSLY prejudiced
courts of Idaho The Wageworker
doubts the ability of these men to Sc
cure fair trial. 1t is pretty evident
to the unprecedented observer that the
pins have been set to railroad Meyer
and Haywood to the gallows. This
seems a harsh thing to say of men and
of courts. But if you have followed
the Heinze-Clark cases in Montana
and similar cases in Idaho you will
readily understand how small show
union mine workers stand before
courts VIGOROUSLY owned and con-
trolled by the men most interested in
destroying the miners union. Men
who have dared to do some of the
things done in Idaho and Montana will
not hesitate to railroad innocent men
to the gallows if it means financial re-
turns.
Men whose innocence has not been
established"
Surely the Lincoln Star does not
mean to set that down as new rule
of law-that men charged with crime
shall either prove their innocence or be
jailed or hanged?
