GOLDFIELD MINERS BMK
Will Not Entirely Repudiate the In
dustrial Workers-Trouble
Not Yet Settled.

Goldfield, New, April at is the sense
of the miners meeting tonight that while
the miners will hereafter act independent
ly they will not entirely repudiate the i.
w. W. in accordance with the demands
made by the mine owners and business
mems associat ton, in3smuch as they will
demand that all town workers not miners
be allowed to go to work if they are union
men. irrespective of what national assO-
citation they belong to.
The meeting is not yet over, but this
report is authentic.
This will delay the final settlement of
the trouble. but il is thought that the
W orst features to contend with have been
safely passed and that a little diplomacS
and few concessions on both sides will
end the trouble permanently in a few
days.
However. if the miners stick to their de-
termination and insist that all town WORK
ers be reinstated, which is practically
what is meant by their latest action. the
ether side will be obliged to lack down
a little or continue the fight

Ohio Senator to Open His Cam
paign at Cant0n-Same Feel
ing Is Manifested.

Washington. April 9.-Senator Fora
ker left tonight for Canton, Ohio, where
he will make an address before the
board of trade tomorrow night.
Canton, o., April 9.-If the Canton
board of trade can prevent it. Senator
Foraker will not open his campaign
here Wednesday night. President c.
a. Dougherty of the board yesterday
made the statement that, despite re-
ports to the contrary, the political bat
tie would not be opened at the annual
banquet OF the organization. President
DOUgheTty SAYS that when Senator
Foraker was secured TO speak, politics
was not thought Of He adds:
An erroneous impression prevails
regarding the selection of Senator For
aker to address the Canton board of
trade on the occasion of its annual ban
quet nXet Wednesday evening. When
the selection of the principal speaker
was suggested a number of names were
proposed and Senator Foraker was the
choice of the board.
Senator Foraker. after accepting our
invitation, asked the subject we de-
sired him TO speak upon. He declares
suggested Civic Pride My letter
of invitation, which followed our talk by
telephone, was published and should
satisfy all that politics was never
thought of. In a second talk with the
senator by telephone on Saturday
morning l referred to the published
statement, in which he was quoted as
saying that Canton was as good a
place as any TO open his campaign He
replied that the statement was false. "

SEVEN MEN NOW IN THE BOX
Slight Progress Made in the Effort
to Bring Alleged Extortioner
to Justice.

San Francisco, April 9.-Four taIesmen
were examined today in the Ruef trial
Two of them withstood the qualification
tests and were passed into the box as
probation jurors They are James Otis

Varnhagen, a produce dealer. The other
two Frederick II. Coon. a salesman. and
Theodore F. J. Kast. a grocer. were ex-
cused for bias. As q result of the days
proceedings the number of jurors who
have qualified but are yet subject to
peremptorV challenge was increased to

exhausted and il becomes necessary to
draw a fresh panel of 100 or 200 from

statement by the defense, recently made.
that it will exercise all of it's ten per
emptory challenges is taken to mean that
none of the seven jurors who have thus
far passed INTO the box will be permitted
to try the case.
The feature of today's proceedings was
a heated encounter by Special Prosecutor
Hiram Johnson and Henry Ach of coun-
sci for Ruef and repeated admonishings
to Ach BY Judge Dunno that his conduct
was most reprehensible."
