CORRECTIVE, NOT
CREATIVE LEGISLATION

If the proposed House of Cover
ners offers an additional safeguard to
the form of our republic, and to rep
resentative government, let us by all
means have it. Its convocation re-
quires no federal act. The legisla-
lures of the several states are COM
petent on their own initiative to Gre
ate and maintain its meetings, and
nothing but good can come of such
gathering, which is poWerless in
other respects, as its mission would
be corrective, not creative legislation,
and heaven knows our national stat
ute books are flied with errors that
cry aloud for correction, and for
which there is no obvious remedy.
Wisconsin, one of the most pro-
gressive states of the union, has be-
fore it's point assembly at this mo-
ment resolution requesting the gov
errors of various states to meet in
Indianapolis this fall to discuss uni
formity of legislation. 1t is proba-
bly, too late this year to secure sim
liar action in other states, but there
is next year and next, and even
tually the House of Governors will
assemble.-Our Country for June.

PRINCES LOST BET.

One of the Kaiser's sons has paid
for five bottles of champagne as the
result of losing wager with an Of
ficer.
At the shooting butts at Potsdam
the latter stated exactly where his
shot had landed before the bullet
reached the target.
The prince surprised at the cor
rect judgment of the officer, called
it mere chance, and made a bet of
five bottles of champagne that the
officer could not state accurately the
result of the next five shots The
bet was smilingly taken and the
shooting began.
Miss" was the young officers
first exclamation, and the marker
waved his flag accordingly; second
shot, miss; third shot, miss"
again. A fourth shot was miss"
What are you doing?" exclaimed
the astonished prince. 81 thought
you were shooting at the target?"
Certainly | was shooting at the
target, but now / am shooting only
to win my champagne" answered the
officer with grin.

.HEIRESS ELOPES
A SECOND TIME
But Papa's Forgiveness is Delayed by
Reason of the Photographers
Prolonged Strike.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-For the sec
ond time, Mrs. Ida Monkey Schaeffer
feverishly awaits her fathers for
giveness for clipping and wedding the
man of her choice. This time it is
another man of course; this time
Mrs Schaeffer is in Milwaukee; this
time the telegraphers' strike, by de-
laying her messages to her father has
prolonged her suspense.
The young and charming Mrs.
Schaeffer is the daughter of William
7. Monkey, millionaire politician of
the west side. She startled society
six years ago by running away with
Theodore OConnell; they were mar
ried at st. Patrick's church. Her
father soon relented and the bride
was as great belle as when she was
a maid.
Mrs. OConnell, with der son The
odore, years old, disappeared ten
days ago. Her relatives knew nothing
of her whereabouts until yesterday,
when long distance message came
to Mr.. Monkey from Milwaukee.
I'VE are married now and l am
happy. Forgive me. We had to
stay five days here before they would
give us marriage license. Have
sent you telegram after telegram.
Please answer, dear father, and tell
me you forgive me and dear George. y
George Schaeffer of Wauwatosa,
Wis, is the bridegroom. 1t is not
known whether Mr.. Monkey will for
give his daughter again; will recon-
Gle himself to the habit of clipping
which she seems to have acquired.

UNPRECEDENTED
WAVE OF CRIME
POLICE REPORT TO THE MAYOR
SHOWS MORE OFFENSES
THIS YEAR.
1907. 1906

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-A report
on crimes against women and chill
dren in the recent crime wave was
submitted to Mayor Mcclellan by
acting Police Commissioner O'Keefe.
The figures show a much larger num-
Der of offenses of this kind than for
the same time last year.
The commissioner refused to give
out his report, saying he would leave
that to the mayor. Mr.. Mcclellan
has said that the so-called crime
wave was mostly hysteria and had
little foundation in fact Yesterday
he gave out without comment Mr..
O'Keefe's list, which shows that he
was mistaken.
For comparison, the commissioner
chose the period between July . and
August Is last year. The totals for
this year played up strongest are
the arrest for crimes against women
and children-showing great police
activity, which is not borne out by
convictions. The .Otal of SiXty-two
arrests this year in the one month as
against twenty-nine last, indicates an
abnormal police activity.
The tabulated list bears out the
statement recently made by the COM
missioner that he knew of one day
last year in which the crimes against
girls exceeded those on any day this
year. This day was July II, 1906,
when six arrests were reported. OF
these, five were bona fide. The dis
position of that days grist a year
later shows that one case was dis
charged and the rest pending.
RppDrIi the met hn1c uSn6 in
preparing the list, Commissioner
O'Keefe said that he was not sure
that the police had marked down as
saults in the cases where such ended
in murder. As the summer has been
marked by several shocking murders
accompanying such crimes-the Stat
feldt, Boylan and Tietschler cases
it is assumed that the police records
may have those crimes tabulated I'M
der murders and not criminal as

THE LITTLE BOY AND THE BOMB

Playing with bombs may be said
to be even more dangerous than play
ing with fire, and a small boy in a
town in Poland has had very mar
row escape while playing with a
bomb he found in the street.
He saw an old backing tin lying
in the road, picked it.up and showed
it to his little brother They opened
the prize and thinking the dark mass
inside was gray paint, agreed to di-
vide it between them. They tried
to get it out of the tin, and as some
of it had dried and stuck to the sides,
knocked it against table. A loud
report followed, the windows fell out
and the lamp in the room was shat
tered.
The elder child was found to be
badly burned about the face and
hands, and lies in critical condi-
ton. The younger one has also sus-
tanned injuries. The military author
tiles had the rest of the gray paint"
removed to the arsenal, where it was
examined. 1t had evidently been
made for some time, for, had it been
fresh, it would have blown the chill
dren into fragments. 1t is supposed
that some revolutionaries, fearing a
police revision, left the bomb in the
street, regardless of the consequences
to those who might happen to pick
it up.

TWO MEN ARRESTED IN
ELY CITY FOR FIGHTING
Jack Bitters and +. l.. Gaver
Got Into Trouble
Yesterday.

Jack Bitters and f. L. Gaver par
ticipated in a mixup and gun play
about 8 O'Clock yesterday morning
at Ely lily. AS result both were
placed under arrest, the former on
the charge of assault with intent to
kill and the latter for carrying con-
cealed weapons.
r. b. Hildebrant paced the men
under arrest and according to the in
formation given him the two had
been gambling all night and were
drunk. 1t seems Bitters wanted Ga
yer to cut up the winnings and when
he refused to do SO, he grew very
angry. He struck Gaven, but wheth-
er it was with the gun or his fist, Mr.
Hildebrandt does not know. Anyway
the men were taken into custody and
Bitters surrendered his gun. Later
another gun was taken from one OF
the men.
Bitters is out on $500 bonds and
Gaver on 500. Their hearing may
take place today before Justice Bush

LABOR TROUBLES MAY
LEAD TO OPEN CAMP

GOLDFIELD, Aug. 27-The atti-
tude the miners have assumed the
past few days since the introduction
of the change rooms on the Mohawk
and Combination mines, would seem
to Indicate that the miners are look
ing for trouble and will not rest con-
tent until they get it. OF course, the
vote of 200 men out of 5000 or
thereabouts, holding cards from the
local union, does not mean the ac-
ton taken yesterday in repudiating
the agreement between their commit
tee and the Consolidated, is finality,
by any means, and yet it is altogether
possible that larger vote would on
ly confirm the action taken.
For some time, the high grading
miners have been writnlng under the
restrictions of watchmen placed over
them by the operators, and more than
once has there been evidences that
they would l..ck over the trace when
the change room plan was inaugu-
rated. Consequently, when the
change room was completed at the
Mohawk, the miners found fault with
the arrangement of the rooms, claim
ing that they had to subject them
selves to unnecessary exposure, etc.
So far as this went, there was dis
position among the general public to
side with the miners; but when the
Consolidated officials offered to re-
move the Objectionable feature COM
planned of, and the miners still re-
fused to go back, then the true in
wardness of their plans became
known. They were divulged in the
ultimatum sent to the Consolidated,
in which they demanded that all men
employed about the mines be under
the jurisdiction of the Western Fede-
ration of Miners, or in other words,
that the watchmen in the change
rooms be Federation men, or more
plainly, only confederates of the ore
thieves. In making this sine qua
non, the miners virtually sidetracked
the change room question and made
the matter of watchmen the question
at issue OF course, the Consolidat-
ed will not give in on this point, and
it is altogether possible that gen
eral strike may result. If this is the
outcome, it will be bitter and pro-
longed; for if another general strike
is brought on by the action of the
miners, the mine owners will shut
down and will never reopen until
Goldfield is an open camp" and the
Western Federation is shorn of its
power.

ISSUED INJUNCTION
AS WAS PRAYED FOR
II. W. KELLY AND III. A. LEACH
PROHIBITED PROM MEDDLING
WITH RALSTON CLAIM.

An injunction was issued yester-
day by Deputy County Clerk Oldfield
upon an order from Judge Brown of
the district court restraining II. w.
Kelly and II. A. Leach from interfer-
ing with the work that James Oste-
gard, Lee Glockner and o. c. Nelson
have been doing on Ralston claim
No 9.
A complaint was filed recently by
Judge Crump to the effect that the
claim is owned by the plaintiffs and
that it is 1900 feet long and GOO
wide. According to the complaint
the defendants on December 20,
1906, drove the plaintiffs agents
away from the property while they
were doing the assessment work. 1t
is further alleged that on August
18th last the plaintiffs resumed work
and sunk shaft, but when their
workmen were away the defendants
destroyed the shaft.
An INDUCTION temporarily restrain
ing the defendants from meddling
with the property was prayed for and
Judge Brown made an order accord
ingly. A permanent injunction is
also prayed for and damages in the
sum of 81 900 as well as the costs OF
suit are asked.

SOUTH AMERICA
MAY JOIN Us

THE HAGUE, Aug. 2S.-The Am
erican proposition concerning the
collection of contractural debts is
now ready for submission to the eX-
animation committee of the peace
conference, Gen. Horace Porter hav-
ing introduced the desired changes,
including those recommended by the
Latin-American states. DR.. Luis
Drago, Argentina, is receiving con-
gratulations on the proposition, for
it is believed that it will now more
closely resemble the Drago doctrine.
Joseph II. Choate is now working
on a new plan for the allotment of
judges for the international High
Court of Justice, under which the
representatives of all the Latin-Am-
erican countries wiz form one group.
This plan, it is believed, will dissi-
pate any feeling arising from the pre-
vious proposed allotment over the
lack of equality of any state in the
representation of the court.
This union of the whole of the AM
erican continent, it is considered,
would be of great importance not on
ly in the establishment of the court,
but as a great political move, rally
ing around the United States, as it
would, all the states of Central and
South America. Such plan would
insure to the court an immediate adj
hesion of twenty-one countries.
Adding to these countries Ger
many, Austria, France, Great Britain,
Italy, Japan and Russia, which are
also favorable to the proposition, this
would give the court the adhesion of
two-thirds of the countries of the
world without taking into account
other countries whose support is most
likely, such as the Netherlands, Spain
Turkey and Switzerland.

FARMS FOR AMERICANS.

A government secret in connection
with the evicted Irish tenants bill
has come out in the house of COM
mons, says the London Express. One
of the objects of the bill rs to apply
British money to the noble task of
placing on nicely-equipped Irish
farms a number of down trodden
persons from America.
The secret was elected by Mr..
Staveley Hills amendment which
sought to restrict the blessings of
the bill to persons who at the time
of application are domiciled in Ire
land"
81 was in Connemara at Easter, :"
declared Mr. Charles Craig, mill
tant Irish Unionist, "and | heard of
children running about there speak
ing with a strong Yankee accent.
We shall have a flood of evicted ten
ants who have been living in America
for years coming back to Ireland for
these farms.
He drew a picture of the astute
Irish-American getting a free farm,
selling it, and retiring to Poughkeep-
sic with the money.
There are very few returned Irish
Americans among the 1000 tenants
recommended by the Irish Estates
commissioners" said Mr.. Birrell,
comfortingly. He refused to accept
any amendment that would keep
these out.
During this discussion there were
about seventy members in the house.
But so great was the response to the
government sjambok that the amend
ment seeking to exclude the Irish
Americans from the British-paid
farms was defeated by 800 to rs.

CONSUMERS SUPPLIES
ARE VERY Low At PRESENT

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-According
to producers of copper the supplies
in consumers hands are lower than
they have been in years. One pro-
Queer says even the copper in the
form of scrap has been practically
consumed, and that manufacturers
weeks longer. Some, he said, may
be able to hold out for three or four
weeks. but the number in this class
is limited.
Copper is being accumulated, he
said, 'but it is not being accumulat-
ed any more rapidly that consumers
are melting their surplus stocks. The
price may be settled on basis of 10
cents pound for electrolytic, but
this is uncertain, as the matter has
not yet been formally considered.
There are few. inquiries in the mar
ket, but not enough to cause any
comment.
You can buy a little copper on
basis of Is cents for electrolytic,
but when you come to buy, say s.
100000 pounds, you have to pay a
price several cents better.
THE large producers are simply
waiting. Many of the large Interests
are out of the city, and not until
their return do I expect to see any
development of importance in the
copper situation"
Phelps, Dodge & Co. and the
Amalgamated Copper interests are
not taking a gloomy view of the sit
uation. They say the outlook is
much better than it was several
weeks ago, due to the fact that sup
plies are rapidly being consumed
They do not anticipate any drastic
cuts in the price of the metal.

Copper Co., during his absence has
been in communication with the Of
fees of the Amalgamated Copper Co.
almost daily, and is thoroughly post
ed on the situation. John ID. Ryan
and B. b. Thayer of the Amalgamat-
ed are both in the city.
The strongest feature, according
to producers, is the small increase
expected in production this year.
There are many producers who even
look for a reduction in the output.
This means, they say, that nOtwith-
standing the fact that more copper
will have been consumed in 1906
and 1907 than any two years in his
tory, production has shown no ex-
panSion to speak of.

FIVE THOUSAND BEGGING
LETTERS IN ONE DAY

for aid, he would reach the goal of
his ambition in one month. 1t has

course no attempt is made to even
respone to all these letters. Carne-

committees who handle the finances
just as any other well conducted
business would be handled.

evinced a disposition to "open up"
