The woman gave her name as.Dotta
Wilson, aged 80 years, formerly of
Fruitvale, California, and said that
the man was her friend and that she
was with him of her own free will.
The Mexican was also interviewed and
proved to be Joe Sanchez, well known
about here. His story tailed exactly
with the woman's. They both stated
that they were making their way to.
a ranch in the northern part of the
county, where Sanchez expected to get
work. After the interview they were
taken before Justice Bruce and the
charge dismissed.
AS the story was first told, it APP
peared that the man was keeping the
woman against her will and it caused
considerable excitement in town and
the officers were anxious to get them.
1t appears, however, from their stories
that there was no foundation for the
reports first circulated and that it
was only a Ease alarm.

GOVERNMENT ORDERS
MRS. ALLEY DROPPED

Telegraphic orders have been rcceiv-
ed by the Goldfeld postoffice discharg-
ing Mrs. Alley formerly employed in
that office, from the service o fthe gov
ernment. Mrs. Alley is a director of
the |. w. w. organization at Gold
field and has favored that body in ev-
eery possible way in the discharge Of
her duties at the posoffice. 1t is re-
ported that a short time ago she
turned over to the /. w. w. leaders a
list OF all persons who had changed
their addresses at Gofdfield. What the
|. w. w. wanted with . these is not
known, but it is strictly against gov
ernment regulations to give out infor-
nation of that character, and Mrs.
Alley no doubt ~overreached herself at
that time, as the action of the depart

BISHOP OF LONDON ON SOCIALISM

Special London cable to the New
York Herald: A striking speech on
socialism which has created something
Of a stir, was delivered by the bishop
Of Stepney, DIR. Lang, at the church
congress the other day.
"we see," he is reported to have
said, "the tide Of great movement
which, whether we like it or not, is
going to be the master current of the
life of the people of England in the
twentieth century.
"There is an abundance Of luxury,
but there is an appalling abundance
of poverty. The nineteenth century
forgot that it isn't enough to produce
wealth lavishly. 1t is important how
1t is distributed. The reaction was
bound to come. Some of us welcome
1t. The nineteenth century was per-
iol of individualism and competition;
the twentieth century will take its
place as the era of socialism and CO.
operation"
The bishops speech naturally draws
attention as to how the great national
movement now in course of organiza-
tion against the serious menace of So
cialism has aroused the various social.
list bodies in London to abnormal ac-
tivity and TO show their hands in no
mistakable manner by the most strik-
ing step that has been taken by the
Social Democratic Federation in the
shape Of list of immediate reforms.
No more striking illustration of the
complete upheaval of society contem-
plated by the socialists could be found
than is contained in this amazing pro-
gramme. Its principal items are the
abolition of the monarchy, Reputation
of the national debt, the abolition of
all indirect taxation, the institution
of a cumulative tax on all incomes
and inheritance ling 300 pounds,
free maintenance for all those attend.

food and coal supply, the nationaliza-
tion of trusts, the establishment of

of state restaurants, public ownership
of the drink traffic, free state insur.

abolition of standing armies aud the
abolition of courts martial.

sible for any one to mistake their Oh
jects, In their new pamphlet they ad

asked if the book was kept for sale,
he was answered in the negative.
II be chanced to see the copy and
inquired how it happened to be there,
he was informedthot it was the pri-
vutc copy of the book seller.
"But can you sell me this copy"
the would-be purchaser would con

Certainly, there is no law to pre-
vent my disposing of my private prop
erty at private sale. -
The book would change hands, the
purchases would go out, and another
copy would at once appear in the
place of the purchased one.
At the socialist congress at Stutt-
CART thousan Is of copies were dis
posed of in this manner. under the
watchful eyes of the German police.
When Liebkuccht was arrested, he
at once accepted the full responsible
ity for the book and will not attempt
to avoid the issue in any way.
"Thc book expresses my beliefs"
he declared, "and ! shall in no way
modify them. Militarism is destroy

init that they are proclaiming and
preaching a class war and urge it to
the utmost. They appeal to the work
ing men TO carry on the war by max
ing themselves masters of their own
country and of all its resources and
political material. They openly advo-
cate trusts and similar monopolies,
and claim that when industries reach
the trust form they are ripe for So
cialization.
Dealing with army, they admit that
they are foes Of all forms of patrio-
tism and Imperialism, and allege that
standing armies are simply instru-
ments of oppression and aggression in
the hands of the dominant class.
But this social federation isn't the
only body at work. The Fabian socie'
ty, with its legion of speakers and
workers, is urging forward the cause
of socialism to the utmost, and there
are few towns in which il has failed
to get a foothold. The Fabians have
already arranged a series Of lectures
on socialism, which will be held in
London during the winter. During
October their lecture programme for
London alone included no fewer than
"a organized meetings, while street
corner and park orators will be at

ed in southeast London and lectures

the metropolis. A campaign is also
being organized, the object of which

always been bougcois except in name,
the action taken was superfluous.
