Will KEEP OUT OF IT
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WILL
NOT MIX In The STRIKE.
Government Could Properly Take Ac-
tion Through Bureau of Labor-chi-
cago Union Votes to Support Ma
tional officers-vote $4,000 to Strike
Fund.

Oyster Bay, June .17.-President
Roosevelt has referred to Charles
P. Neill, commissioner of labor, with
out comment, the various appeals
which have been made to him by wire
and mail to intervene to prevent the
threatened telegraphers' strike. The
position is taken that no emergency
exists such as obtained at the time the
president interviewed in the anthracite
coal strike, but on the contrary, the
situation presented is one where ac-
J ton by the government, if taken at all,
may properly be initiated and directed
by the bureau Of labor, of which Mr.
Neill is the head.
Attention is called to the fact that
Mr.. Neill has on his own motion acted
with more or less success in several
recent strikes simply by making an in
vestigation and bringing to light the
salient facts in the controversies, his
reports being the basis on which set
Element was later reached. Whether
he will feel justified in pursuing the
same course in the present instance is
not commented on here, as the presi-
dent has given Mr.. Neill no intimation
of any kind.
At Chicago.
Chicago.-Fifteen hundred tele-
graphers, members of the Commercial
Telegraphers' union, at a meeting here
Sunday afternoon, voted to support
the president and executive committee
of their organization in any measures
they deem necessary to bring about an
adjustment of the operators griev-
ances. Those present were chiefly en-
ployes of the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph companies. Separate
resolutions were passed by each group
of employees, the Postal men advocat-
ing drastic measures" to enforce
their demands and the Western Union
operators serving 10 days notice on
the officials of the company in New
York that they must meet the en-
ployes' committee as represented by
the Commercial Telegraphers' Union
of America, for discussion and adjust
ment of grievances or bear the respon-
sibility for interference with public
business which would follow action
that will be incumbent upon the Chi
cago local union"
A $4,000 strike fund was voted. Rep
resentatives of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers assured the commercial
operators of the support and sympathy
of individual members of the railway
union, but took no official action.

DANGEROUS FIRE. Grocery Store and First Floor of Frame Building
 Destroyed. ORIGIN IS A MYSTERY Long Run and Darkness Make Hard Work for
 Bremen.
ORIGIN IS A MYSTERY

sas'sPs N. 5sa ~ sasga ts ssf ss z M s s5
 A fire which broke out at s:2O last night wrecked the store of Samuel Tro yer at 1S4 Cedar Hill avenue, near the corner of May street. and gutted the first floor of the three-story frame building in the rear to which the store is attached. For time 1t seemed that the fire was sure to spread further Just north of the store and almost touching each other, are two large frame houses. The out-of-the-way To- cation of the fire gave an opportunity for it's gaining strong headway Three fire companies arrived, however In the nick of time and prevented any extension of the blaze.
 The building where the fire broke out is large three-story structure and sets well back from the street. An addition of one story has been built on the front, and this Is occupied by the grocery store of Samuel Trover. The building, both store and dwelling, be- longs to Henry H. Blake, whose home | is the two upper floors of the dwelling. The only lights along the street are a few scattered gas lamps, and, as last night was very dark, the firemen had a disagreeable and difficult fight, After the fire was out the whole place was black as pitch, and fremen went digging around for threatening spots that continued to smoke, like workers in a mine,
 | Nobody knows how the fire started. Samuel Trover, who owns the stock in the store and rents the building from H. H. Blake, left the store in the even- ing to make trip downtown. Philip Leo, who lives on the first floor of the dwelling, just In the rear had charge of the store, and at 8 o'clock locked up as usual Twenty minutes later the fire was discovered by little girl in the neighborhood who happened to be passing. An alarm was turned in, shortly followed by second. When the first flremen arrived 1t appeared | that the blaze had started in a pile of brooms in the store. Spreading rapid | ly, 1t cleaned out the first floor oecu pied by Philip Leo, and thoroughly wrecked the stock in the store. The upper stories of the house occupied by H. H. Blake were saved from destruc- tion by fire, but several holes were cut, base boards demolished and plaster scattered by firemen in preventing the 1 spreading of the fire below.
 The stock in the grocery store was valued at about $2,5OO Samuel Trover started his business there only last January, and most of the goods had just recently been put in. His loss is partially covered by insurance. The damage to the building will also be met by insurance carried by MT. Blake.

BANKS AFTER
 THE GOVERNOR Says Chief Executive Comes Within Definition of a
 Lobbyist.
HIS NEW HAVEN SPEECH
Words Uttered Idly and Are in Conflict With the
 Facts.

An emphatic reply was made to Gov ernor Woodruff's statement in regard to lobby influence in the legislature yesterday by Representative Fillmore s. Banks of Fairfield leader of the repub- lican side of the house. He asserted that he had looked up the meaning of lobbyist in the dictionary and finds that his excellency, the governor, comes within the definition of the word.
 MT. Banks speech was made when he presented, as house chairman of the judiciary committee, two reports on the bill providing for appointment of county commissioners by the governor. One was majority report unfavor- able on the bill, signed by nine mem bers of the judiciary committee, and the other was minority report, fav- orable on the bill, signed by two mem bers of the judiciary committee, MT. Gum of Milford and MT. Noone of Yer non.
 Mir. Banks said that the bill to have county commissioners appointed by tho governor was introduced by him at the request of the governor. When asked to introduce the bill, he informed the governor that he would do so, but that he did not favor the bill When the session opened, MT. Banks said he asked that resolutions appointing county commissioners be tabled until the recommendations of the governor could be acted upon. One week later the governor asked him to have these resolutions taken from the table and acted upon. Mr. Banks did as the gov- error requested
 V mention this, as some papers com mented upon what they termed the in- decent haste in passing the resolutions in the face of the governors recom- mendations."
 Continuing, Mir. Banks said: "Now, as to the merits of the bill. We are told that the measure hasn other ob- ject than to take the appointment of county commissioners out of politics. The members who have signed the ma jority report believe that instead of taking the matter ou tof politics 1t would get it deeper into politics. All ready we have commissioners appoint ed by the governor and we can see at glance whether such appointments are free from politics. My friend from Milford, an able legislator, has not of late years had opportunity of serving on a commission, nor have his political friends.
 Even if we are mistaken. the duty of deciding falls upon us. I think that it is proper at this time to take notice Of a criticism of this general assembly made by the gentleman who holds the exalted position of governor.

MILFORD WATER COMPANIES PLANT Rumors That New Haven Corporation Will Pur-
 chase It.
WOULDBE GOOD STROKE
Brief History of the Milford Enterprise-Paying Its
 Way.

It is rumored on good authority that the New Haven Water company is negotiating for the purchase of the Milford Water company and that it is more than likely that the negotiations will be successful. The requirement or the Milford company by the New Ha- ven company cannot fail to be in the line of progress for Milford and will be another stroke of enterprise for our New Haven company The Milford Water Go. was established six or sev- en years ago and supplies with water, not only Milford, but also Laurel Beach, where there are many cottages, and Woodmont with it's large number of cottages and permanent abodes.
 The Milford company has a bonded indebtedness of Sl00,0OO and a stock ig- sue of $l5O,OO0 The company is paying interest on it's bonis and Is earning a surplus every year which is being flowed into the plant, Improvements Of the plant having been made yearly. The president of the company Is Moses Joy of this city, who resides at 52 Davision street. Senator George M. Gum of Milford, is member of the board of directors.
 The Milford company erected a standpipe one hundred feet in height with capacity of 100000 gallons which gives sufficient head to force the wa- ter, under ordinary circumstances.
 Senator Gum was interviewed on the subject last night and said he had no knowledge that negotiations for the purchase of the Milford company were in progress
 President Joy of the Milford com pany when interviewed last night said that he had not heard that any nego, tiations for the sale q; the Milford company were in progress and added that the Milford company was a pri- vate enterprise and that its affairs were not necessarily public property. Had any negotiations of the kind beer. in progress he would, he added, have known about it.
 Nevertheless the rumor concerning the Milford company are such that full credence is given them in influential quarters and 1t Is very probable that the Milford water system will ere long become branch of the New Haven companys system.

Statement cy Counsel for Mover, Haywood and
 Petiibone.
ROOsEvELT'S ATTITUDE
Every Law Abiding Citizen Should Try to Cool
 Passion.

Boise, Idaho May 1.--Clarence Dar- row of counsel for Messrs. Haywood, Mover and Pettibone of the Western Federation of Miners, who are charged with complicity in the murder of For mer Governor Steurenberg, Issued for maj statement tonight in behalf of the prisoners. It was anticipated that the statement would be direct reply to President Roosevelt's Undesirable ci- tizen" letter but the statement is in reality general one, and references to the president are to the former letters of the executive. The reference to the president follows
 "After all this time our case is about to be reached and the president of the United States, in no way interested, of ficia1y or otherwise, sends two letters broadcast over the country charging us with guilt and crime. These are re- published in every paper in the land and especially every paper in Idaho. The governor of Colorado, day or two later, adds his words of spite ana venom of the president and says that we are not only guilty of the crime charged but many others to. While the President of the United States and the governor of Colorado are sending out their statement to compass our death, the judge of this county has brought citizen before him for con- tempt on the charge that he tried to influence the mind of a prospective juror by saying that The state admin istration was trying to railroad us.' On the appearance of this man in court the judge promptly told the states at- torney that he should have this ob- scure farmer indicted for felony be- cause he tried to influence the mind of prospective juror. The president knows how much greater weight will be given to his words than to those of an obscure private citizen.
 ''If we are about to be tried in court every law abiding citizen, however great or humble, should do everything in his power to cool the passions o1 man, rather than add fuel to the flames. If we are to be thrown to the mob, the officers should at least open our prison doors and give us some chance to defend ourselves"
