M0YER OPPOSES
CELEBRATIONS
THINKS DEMONSTRATIONS ARE
NOT IN GOOD TASTE AT
PRESENT TIME.

BOISE, Aug. 5.-Charles H. Mover
wife and her sister, left Saturday
morning for Manitou, Colo, where they
will spend several days. Mr.. Meyer
did not go to Denver, and will not, at
least for the present. He has opposed
the demonstration prepared at Denver
and other places at which himself anJ
Haywood were expected to participate,
and his objection has been so strong
that he has resolved not to be present
at any Of them.
Accordingly they will spend a few
days at the great Colorado resort of
Manitou at the foot of Pixies peak, and
will determine from there how the bal
ance of the time before the meeting Of
court here in October shall be en-
ployed.
1t is noteworthy that Meyer left for
Colorado just "a hours after Haywood
and party left for the same state Hay.
wood stopped over in Salt Lake but
left there about two hours before Meyer
on to Denver. AS Haywood did not ar
rive in Denver until a late hour at
night, the great labor demonstrat ton
was postponed. About 100 committee
men. representatives of all the various
labor unions in that city, met Hay
wood at the depot ard escorted him
to his hotel.
In spite of Haywood's request, quite
an elaborate demonstration was made
even at that late hour. The illness OF

1t is declared that if Haywood can be
induced to give his consent, the mag
nificent reception which had been pre-
pared for him will be held at a later
date. AS yet, Haywood has not con-
scented.
1t is not understood that there is
any disposition on Meyers part to
criticise Haywood's participation in
the celebrations, but he does not be-
lieve it would be proper for him to do
so while the indictment is still pend
ing over him and while he is out under
such heavy bond. Nor does he believs
there is proper ground for celebration
so long as Pettibone is still confined
in Jail here awaiting his trial, which
has been set for October 1.

NEeRo's STORY OF OUTRAGE
confesses How They "shot Up"
Brownsville, Texas.

Confesses How They shot UP"
Brownsville, Texas.
Galveston, Tex, March Is. - The
Galveston News printed the alleged
confession of a discharged negro sol
dier in explanation of the midnight
riot of negro soldiers of the 25th in
fantry, who "shot up" Brownsville,
Texas, on August 1S, 1906. The News
story says a statement was made by
one of the discharged negro soldiers to
two reporters, and that after seven
months of investigation by the author
tiles Of the United States, what ap-
pears TO be the true version of the riot
has come to light. The discharged sol
dier admits that he participated in
the riot. This man has been living in
Galveston since he and many others.
of the 25th infantry were discharged
without honor by order of President
Roosevelt from the military service.
According to the alleged statement
made to the reporters, the outrage was
not premeditated, but was the result
of an alleged injury done to one of the
soldiers by a white man in Browns
Vile about a half hour before the riot
started. The negro, the story says,
was struck by the white man at a re-
sort in Brownsville. The negro, return
ing to the barracks, seized his rifle
and announced that he was going to
kill the white man. Several other ne
groes promptly volunteered to go along
to wipe out old scores against white
citizens on account of injuries they
had suffered. The negroes returned to
the barracks after committing the as
sault on the town, and many soldiers
assisted in the hurried cleaning Of the
guns for the inspection which followed
soon after the shooting ceased. Ac-
cording to the alleged confession, the
soldiers from only one company of the
25th infantry participated in the riot,
although nearly an entire battalion,
later discharged, knew soldiers had
done the shooting.

fa DEAD IN FLAMES AND FLOOD
Terrified BY Factory Fire, Scores Leap
Into the Water.

Wheeling, w. Va, March Is. -
Eighteen persons are known to have
lost their lives in the early morning
fire that occurred at the plant of the
Warwick Pottery company, which is
located in the flooded district.
Because of the water surrounding
the burning district it was impossible
for the fire apparatus to reach the
scene. The fremen pressed into ser
vice all the boats that could be Sc
cured and carried the lines Of hose to
the burning building by this means.
They did heroic work and not only
fought the fire but assisted in rescuing
many persons.
Had the drowned persons re ined
in their homes none Of them "ould
have met death. The buildings occu-
pied by the unfortunate victims were
not touched by the flames. The eX-
ploslon that started the fire Is what
terrified the people living in the VI
cinity.
No sooner had the report Of the ex-
plosion occurred than people COM
menced leaping from the windows into
the water. Not all of those who met
death we're drowned by jumping into
the water. Five of them were drown
ed by the upsetting of boat that was
CARRYING them to a place of safety.

fore the next Republican national con-
vention as a candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination, with many, if not
all, of the 46 delegates from his own

here as a pretty safe political wager.
Senator Foraker, it is declared, will
not be I. candidate for first honors
next year, and it is said that his sup

Ohio solidly behind him, the admins

MINERS MAY STRIKE
Discharge of Three Men Will Throw
Nearly 5000 Idle.


Nearly 5000 Idle.
WiIkes-Barre, Pa, March 20. - On
Friday last three men employed at No.
2 colliery. operated by the Kingston
Coal company were discharged. On
Saturday the United Mine Workers OF
that company sent a committee to
HEADQUARTERS asking that the men be
taken back. No answer was given to
them and a mass meeting was held
which represented 1900 of their en-
ployes. They decided to call general
strike at all the collieries operated by
this particular company unless the
men were reinstated.
If the order is given to lay down
their tools It will affect nearly 5000
miners, Iaborers and slate pickers. The
only men who will be allowed to re-
main at their posts will be the engi-
neers, fremen, pump runners and fan
runners.

Six Dead In Virginia Mine.

Bristol, Va, March 18. - Advices
from Tacoma, Va, are that six persons
are positively known to have lost their
lives in the explosion which wrecked
the coal mine of Bruce & Bond, near
that place. Saturday. Owing to the
mass of slate blocking the entrance to
one portion of the mine that portion
has not yet been reached by the res
cuers, and it is the impression at Ia
coma that as many as six other miners
may be entombed.
