ADMIRAL DEWEY

WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb, A.
Admiral Dewey's reported denuncia-
ton of what he bluntly termed
ID cowardice" of the admins
tration in regard to the Japanese
affair has created great stir in
government circles. Dewey is not a
bit afraid of Japan. The old war
horse declares the United States
navy could clean up the Japanese
ships In six weeks after fighting be-
gan in earnest. He admits that
Japan might get possession of the
Philippines and Hawaii, but that
the United States would take them
back without great trouble.
1t is admitted that Roosevelt has
found his attempt to interior in the
San Francisco affair Illegal and has
tried new tack of appealing to
California congressman and school
officials to avert what he repre-
sents as danger of serious trouble
with Japan by accepting a COM
promise. 1t is conceded that the
president Is determined to have his
way and will now resort to
diplomacy where threats of using
federal force have failed.

They say as a matter of fact that

SPOKANE COAL DEALERS
DENY HOLD Up

The Spokane & international

from $2.15 to $3.50 ton, distance
of about 300 miles, while the North
ern Pacific railroad charges 1920
a ton to Connell, Wash, a distance
of 10 miles.
Regarding the charges that coal
companies were working in de-
fiance of the interstate commerce
laws which forbids companies in
the coal business where the stock
holders are also stockholders In the
railroad hauling it, Mr.. Waggoner
said that perhaps some of the COM
panies had stockholders who were
also interested in railroads, but
that that law does not become ef-
fective until Jan. 1, 1908.
General denial to the holdup
charges is entered by local fuel
dealers. 1t is pointed out that
Carney coal instead of selling here
for Sill is actually sold for 1915,
the highest price ever charged here.
The Consumers Co. claims that
it pays $3.50 per ton more freight
on coal it sells for $40 per ton
than is charged to Butte, and is
selling at a closer margin.
The margin of profit given by
dealers here per ton runs from rs
cents to 1925, according to dis
lance and contracts.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-No further
changes in the Thaw jury were
made this morning and at 10:45 AS
sistant Attorney Caravan began his
opening address for the state. Gar
van said:
"The purpose of punishment for
crime is the example set to COM
munlty. The defendant here is
charged with the murder Of Stan
ford White with generalization on
June %, 1906" He detailed the
scenes connected with the murder,
and continued:
This murder was criminal, cruel
and malicious, as the state will
prove"
While Garvan was closeted with
Jerome and a witness May McKen-
zie left the room accompanied by
Evelyn Thaw, who, in passing her
husband, clasped his hands, tears
falling down her cheeks as she
turned away.
Lawrence White, son of the dead
architect, was the first witness call
ed by the state.
White told of dining at cafe
with his father and friend and
going to the theater, where he part
ed with his father. He then went
home and learned of the death OF
his father from reporters. The de-
tense declined to cross examine

Other witnesses corroborated this
story Of the shooting.
Robert Paxton, an employee at

and described the garden assign
ment of tables. He heard a shot
and turned, seeing Thaw fire the
last two shots. To friends who
came up, Thaw said: 81 shot him
because he ruined my wife,
The witness said Thaw told the
young woman he had probably
saved her life.
The state rested it's case at IL: AZ.
Policeman Debs told of the arrest
and identified the revolver. He
turned Thaw over to Officer Wright
and then went to see Whites body.
Pau! Bruderick, fireman, told
of taking the revolver away from

tons he said Thaw was pale, his
eyes staring and he appeared

To strike or not to strike, in mid
winter, with snow on the ground, is
the question street carmen en-;
ployed by the Washington Water
Power Co. must decide today. Only
the w. w. p. Co. men are voting
on the strike, Traction Co. en-
ployes being unaffected. 1t is not
expected that the balloting today at
Central Labor hall will be con-
Guided until late this evening. The
men are voting as they get the
chance. A two-thirds majority is
required to authorize a strike.
Briefly presented, this is the car
mems case:
They believe that the present
trouble has been forced on them by
the company at the most unfavor-
able season of the year from the
employees standpoint in order to
break up the union before spring
opens and the demand for labor OF
all kinds improves. This conclusion
Is based on the recent discharge
of men prominent in union affairs
and refusal of the company to con-
slider any form of working agree
ment presented by the Garments or
ganization. 1t is argued that this
policy was adopted after the rush
of business during the fair, In which
time the union was organized.
In the first instance e. Roberts,
vice president of the union, was
discharged. He declares that one
of the reasons given him was his
activity in the union. Saturday
night two more union men were re-
lieved from further duty. They are
w. B. Botham, secretary, and J. H.
Witt, spokesman, for the union.
From this action the men reason
that the wedding process will be
prosecuted until the union men are
cleaned out and the organization
broken up. The union takes the
stand that its downfall will be &C
complished gradually by this means
and union men compelled mean
while to assist the company to this
end by keeping the system working
until enough new men are broken
In to replace them.
Many of the men reason that
they might as well bring the trou-
BILE to immediate test to determine
whether or not their union shall ex-
list. Those who have taken active
part in the organization, in fact all
who have allied themselves with
the union, feel that they are mark
ed for dismissal unless they re.
nounce the organization and sub.
scribe to the conditions responsible
for the trouble that has slumbered
for months.
On the other hand the company
maintains its refusal to deal with
its men on any basis implying
recognition Of the union. 1t re-
fuses to consider reinstatement OF
men discharged and flatly rejected
the arbitration agreement asked ~
the union. ,....
In short the company refuses to
have its lines unionized. Its officials
say they are always ready to meet
employees and consider their griev-
ances as individuals, but on no
other ground.
The carmen cite numerous in
stances to prove that individual EN-.
ployes can present no case to the
company officials with any hope Of
fair hearing. They say they have
been forced into organizing as a
last resort in an effort to secure fair

missed by about an inch. Although
in a serious condition Forrest re-
fuses to accuse either Of the Owens
and says he would not prosecute
them anyway. Both the Owens
were arrested this morning but
later were charged with disorderly
conduct and allowed their freedom
on depositing 500 bonds each.
Physicians advised the police that
although Forrest was cut badly he
was in no danger of dying.
All parties concerned are mem
bers of the stock company.
