MAHONEY R, YES ALL
CHARGES OF
Miners
Acting President of Western
Federation Concluded
His Defense in
Convention.
BITTER FEELING
AMONG DELEGATES
Entire New List of Officials Will
Undoubtedly be ChOsen--ACtion
viii be Taken Tomorrow
Regarding Industrial
Workers.

Denver, Colo, June 26.-Acting
President Mahoney today concluded
his Reputation of the charges made
against him in the Western Fedora
ton of Miners convention.
He advocated breaking away from
the Industrial Workers of the World
If the two warning factions in that
organization could not get together.
Acting Secretary Kirwan followed
Mahoney. He devoted himself to a
refutation of the charges against him
and the acting president, and 20 a
harsh criticism of tho Industrial
Workers and Socialist Labor party.
Haywood Studies Law.
He showed that the latter had con-
demned the Western Federation in
recent issues of its organ of publi-
cation.
Kirwan read a letter from w. d.
Haywood at Boise, In which Hay
wood said that since he had been in
the Idaho prison, he had taken up
the study of law and had already
passed an examination in four sub.
jects.
Bitter Feeling.
There is a very bitter feeling in
the convention against Mahoney and
Kirwan, especially the former, whom
it is alleged took an active part in
hiring detectives at the recent con-
vention of the Industrial Workers of
the World in Chicago to slug dele
gates to that convention who were
not in accord with the issues OF the
leaders.
The miners are tired of such al
legations against their officers and
there is little doubt that they will
settle the matter by selecting an en-
tirely new list of officials this year.
Action Tomorrow.
Kirwan has not given them the
same provocation as has the acting
president, but he has made himself
decidedly unpopular by his action in
sustaining Mahoney.
The debate over the reports of the
acting president AMI actins secretary
will PROBABLY continue tomorrow at
which time some action will be taken
regarding the question of breaking
away from the Industrial Workers of
the World.
The miners are watching the Hay
wood trial with great interest and
there is a unanimous feeling in the
convention that the state has not in
any way connected the Federation or
It's officials with the crimes charged
by Orchard.

HOTELS At JAMESTOWN
ARE DESTROYED
BY FIRE
Blaze Seriously Crippled Fa-
CllitieS for Accommodating
Guests at Exposition.
FIVE HOSTELRIES
GO UP IN SMOKE

Norfolk, Va, June 26.-One whole
block of the Pine Beach section, i'm
mediately adjoining the jamestown
exposition grounds, was swept by fire
early today.
The big Arcade hotel, Barkeley ho-
tel, outside Inn, Powhattan hotel,
Caroline hotel, several smaller hotels
and large part of the "Outside War
path" were destroyed.
The loss may run to 5000, 900 part
ly covered by insurance.
The guests escaped to safety,
though many of them lost their bag
gage, and valuables. AS far as is
known, there were no injuries sus-
tanned.
May Not Rebuild.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
as 1t started in an obscure part of
the Arcade hotel, and was famed by
high wind, which rapidly caused
it to spread to the other buildings,
all Of which were of light construc-
ton.
The hotel facilities in the neighbor-
hood of the exposition are crippled
by the fire, and it Is not likely that
the burned structures will be rebuilt,
since they could not be completed be-
fore the end of the exposition.

movement to establish a nine-hour
work day for union machinists- en-
ployed by railroads throughout the
Northwest, which is expected to in
clude blacksmiths and boilermakers,
and embrace a total of 10000 men,
has been launched
The plan is being backed principal
ly by the Northwest Consolidated Dis
trict of the Machinists' union, al.
though the blacksmiths and boiler
makers, who also have powerful or
CARNATIONS. are looked to for active
cooperation on behalf of their re-
spective crafts. The Northwest Con
solidated District embraces all rail-
roads north of the Union Pacific lines
and west of Chicago
A demand will be made upon them
to make the nine-hour day effective
September l. For this purpose Off
Gals of the Machinists' Union are now
preparing formal notices to be served
upon the railroad companies at the
beginning of next month, thus giving
them thirty days in which to consider
the plan.
Among the railroads to be asked to
establish the nine-hour day are the
Great Northern. the Northern Pacific,
the Canadian Pacific. the Canadian
Northern, the 500 Line, the Min
neapolis & ST. Louis. the Iowa Cen

Sheriff Ashcroft at the time of making
a raid upon a Senegambian dive in the
beautiful little city of Nicodemus, vii,
lage noted for the fact that the colored
people in the city form one hundred per

his bartender, white man, were also
seized and are in jail here at present,
both being guests of the sheriff The
LIQUIDS were stored away for safe-keep-
ing in the basement of the courthouse
and a great big paddock on the door
attested apparently to the security OF
the denOSit.

A RACE FOR A SCHOOL
Lucky One Signed Contracts Before S
O'Clock in the Morning.

lola. Kan, July 25.-The Register
says:
Just about 100 this morning, light
buggy drove rapidly up to the Fetter
home at 318 South Elm street and stop
ped In front Of the house. Seated in
the buggy was we'll known profession
al man. AS soon as the buggy stopped
he turned toward the house and called,
Are you ready?' Yes, sir. I am all
ready" came a CHEEKY reply and
young lady stepped quickly out of the
house, and sprang into the buggy. The
horses were whirled about and in a few
minutes the rig and it's two occupants
were speeding south at a rapid rate in
was Attorney J. r. Miller and the young
lady was Miss Della Fetters.
1t was Monday evening when the
three trustees of the Oakland school dis
trfct, which is just south of Humboldt,
held a meeting for the purpose OF en-
ploying a teacher. There were two ap-
plicants for the position. Both were
lola high school graduates, Miss Pearl
Wheatley, who is a graduate of the class
Of 1906 and Miss Della Fetters, who grad
uated last year. The board was unde-
cided as to which Of the young ladies
to select as neither had the advantage
in qualification. 1t was therefore decid-
ed by the board that the young lady who
first drove into the yard of Mr.. Puckett
a member of the school board, should be
given the position.
The unique decision of the board was
announced to Miss Wheatley, and to
Miss Warner, a friend of Miss Fetters,
and the race was on to see which OF
the young ladies would arrive on the
grounds first.
Miss Fetters lives in lola and Miss
Wheat1ey lives in the vicinity of the
Oakland school house. There is no
train going south before the Katy flyer
at o'clock and it would have been i'm
possible for Miss F'etters to reach Hum
boldt before $3.50 in the morning. and
she would then had to have driven out
to the Pickett home.
Miss letters friends, however, real
lied that if she waited for the train
she would lose the school. So at 1:3O
in the morning Mr.. Miller secured q
buggy and drove Miss Fetters TO Hum
boldt, arriving at the Pickett home
about o'clock in the morning. ON
they drove to the other members of the
school committee and a few minutes
before 5 the contracts had been signed
and Miss Fetters employed as teacher
of the Oakland school
A similar scene was going on at tae
Wheatley home. 1t was few minutes
before 4 when Miss Wheatley started
for the Pickett home but it was no,
until about o'clock, an hour late, thai
she arrived there, only to find that MISS
Fetters had been employed.

ROADS RESENT THE ED1Cr.
Are Not Pleased With Circular Sent
Out by TeIegranh Chief

Operating officials Of the railroads are
not greatly pleased with a circular
which has just been issued to all Off
GERS and members of the Order of Rail-
way Photographers by its president. H.
B. @Perham of St. Louis
The railroads are having difficulty now
in securing sufficient telegraphers. and
are facing the fact that in eight months.
when the federal law goes into effect
prohibiting any railway telegrap her
from working more than eight hours a
day. they will be obliged to increase
their force nearly 40 per cent or more
than 5000 operators.
The circular issued by the president of
the Order of Railway Telegraphers
points out these facts, and asserts that
some railroads are trying to force their
operators 10 teach boys and young men
how to telegraph. He alleges that some
operators have been dismissed by the
railroads for refusing to teach teleg-
raphy to boys.
Some railway managers fear that 1t
viii be impossible for them to secure
enough more telegIaphers to comply
with the eight hour law, even if the Or
der Of Railway Telegraphers should en-
