Senator Stone is a splendid speaker
rapid in his delivery and forcible in
his language. He has a long lock of
hair that continually falls across his
face and which he as continually push
es back after the manner of woman
kind the world over and one is forced
to wonder if he would lose his inspir-
tion if by chance the long foretop
should unknown to him be cut off
some day, just as ne stepped upon the
stage to speak.
Ex-Governor Prince made a twenty
minute speech upon statehood for New
Mexico which met with much favor.
The Governor is well known to all
the members of the Congress, having
been its fourth president years ago,
and its first vice-president at the pres
ent time.
He came here right from New
York and leaves tonight for Kansas
City.
One thing that impressed me great
ly was the absolute desire to avoid
any resolutions aimed at the railroads.
Resolution after resolution was tab
led by the Committee on the subject of
lower fares, higher taxation, control,
etc, of the railroads.
The general sentiment was that e.
nough along those lines had been
done and it was best to let things set
tie down a bit ald find out just where
We were on the whole proposition.
l remarked upon this sentiment in
the committee rooms and Governor
Adams said it was all the more re-
markable in that probably not a man

Muskogee, Okla, Nov. 22.-The clos
ing days of the Mississippi Con
gress here have been busy ones in
deed but when the session of today
closed at noon practically the entire
four days program had been compIet-
ed and the great assemblage dispersed
leaving the newly elected officers and
a new executive committee to meet
in the afternoon and plan out the work
for the coming year.
The debate upon the question of en-
dorsing the administration plan of
selling bonds and certificates brought
out an intensely exciting and at times
bitter discussion.
The resolution of endorsement was
introduced by Ex-Governor Francis of
Missouri The Committee on Resolu-
tions refused to act on it and sent it
back to the house without any report.
Gov. Francis was anxious to leave
town on an early train, so the matter
was taken up at once to accommodate
him Gov. Francis speech in favor of
the bill was mastery support of
the administration. Democrat tho /
am.''' said he, Il love to honor a man
who can meet such an emergency as
Roosevelt has this. y
Quick to jump to his feet was Ex-
Governor AIva Adams, of Colorado,
Chairman of the Resolutions Commit
tee.
In a spleadidly eloquent speech. ne
as bitterly denounced the bond and Ger
tificate issue as had Francis defend
ed it. Adams said that the one blot on
Cleyeland's whole administration
was his famous bond issue.
Speaker after speaker rose-the ma
jority democrats some to support, O.
theirs to denounce. Governor Francis
and his train didn't connect. 1t was no
time for him to leave and he was in
the thick of the fight for three hours.
Loud calls for the blind Senator
from Oklahoma. brought Senator Gore
out WHO took the President to task
for the bond business and plainly set
forth his opposition. The delegates
from the Indian Territory part of the
new state shouted for Senator Owen,
who is their guide and mentor.
To the surprise of all he took the
Administrations side in a splendid
speech .sI hate dirty water said he.

His speech turned the tide and at
so D. M a tired and much excited
crowd of 1000 people saw the vote
counted that carried the endorsement
OF the administration by amajority of
three to one.
1t was a splendid fight and one well
worth the trip here to witness. But
Francis missed his train.
Senator William ]. Stone, of Missou-
ri. told us in the morning of his trip
TO the Philippines this summer.
His speech was great tribute to
the administration and its policy in
the islands.
He frankly said he went there pref
udiced against the whole question.
He told how when he heard of the
battle in the Datto crater where men
and women were shot down he felt
the American army was forever dis
graced. But after seeing the people
against whom they fought. after climb
ing up the almost perpendicular walls
to the crater. he realized that ne was

IRON WORKERS
Reject TERMS;
STRIKE STILL. ON
Bay City F'oundries
Closed
Laundry Employees Decide to Return
to Work on Compromise Basis.
Get Eight-Hour Day in
Three Years
BY Associated Press.

SAN FRANCI- 20, June 9.-The ter
mination of the laundr- workers strike
by which about 1900 men and women
will return to work, and the repudia-
tion by the machinists' union of the
settlement of the iron workers strike
affecting directly and indirectly from
$4,000 to 10000 workmen, resulting in
the issuance Of notice tonight that
none of the iron works, shops and
foundries would open tomorrow morn
ing as planned and making possible a
renewal of the entire controversy, were
the developments today in the labor
situation in San Franciso.
The laundry workers, who have been
on strike for ten weeks to enforce an
eight-hour day, met this afternoon and
voted to declare off the strike and re-
turn to work upon the terms offered
by the laundrymen and obtained
through the conciliation committee of
the labor council. The settlement will
be in the nature Of a compromise. A
three years contract is to be signed by
the employers by which the employees
are to work fifty-one hours a week the
first year, fifty hours a week the sec
ond year, forty-nine hours the first six
months of the third year and forty
eight hours, or practically an eight
hour workday shall be in effect there
after.
The entire settlement of the iron
workers strike has been jeopardized by
the action today of the Machinists'
union in rejecting the terms and refus-
ing to ratify the agreement.
Should the Iron Trades council not
be able to get the machinists to rescind
their action and accept the terms, and
should the renewal of the strike re-
suit, it is understood that the employ
ers will import non-union labor with
which to reopen their works.

THIEVES INVADE
TAJO BUILDING
UNCLE SANS OFFICE STRUC-
TURE DESPoILED
Gain Entrance to Second and Third
Floors, Probably by Means of
Fire Escape, and Are
Scared Away

Sneak thieves disregarding the
majesty of the government yesterday
invaded offices on two floors of the
Tajo building, where federal courts are
in session on week days. the district
attorney has his headquarters and
many attorneys have their offices.
The sneaks,. 1t is thought, gained en-
trance by means of the fire escape, as
there are no outward signs Of doors
being forced. Possibly after getting
into one office they used knife or
locksmith's tools to spring the locks on
other doors. Once inside the offices
they did not hesitate to break open
desks to gain what they wanted. 1t is
thought they were interrupted in their
work.
Until today it will not be known how
much booty the fellows got away with,
as only two of the tenants appeared
last night at the Tajo. and then only
by chance.
Gibson Catlett, the landscape artist,
was the first to discover the nefarious
work He and his wife entered the Of
flee on the third floor and noticed
light burning, which excited their sus-
picion. They heard a noise also of
shuff1ing feet.
Entering the office it was only too
apparent that intruders had shifted
things about. Last night Mr. Catlett
was unable to tell how much stuff had
been taken.
Attorneys Schweitzer & Hutton are
also sufferers. Mr.. Schweitzer CHANGED
to call at his office last night and found
the disturbed desks. He at first thought
perhaps some one had entered the Of
flee to abstract letters or other evidence
in pending cases, but on examining
further found that sneak thieves had

MORMON ELDER
SC0RESPREACHERS
Brigham Roberts Reiterates His Belief
in Polygamy and Denounces Evan
seIlcaI Accusers as 5eins
Neither Men Nor Women
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SALT LAKE, Utah, June "a sem
sational feature of the controversy
which has been waged between the
ministers of the evangelical churches
and the Mormon priesthood was the
address delivered in the tabernacle to-
day by Elder Brigham H. Roberts,
once excluded from congress because
of his polygamous practices. He spoke
in reply to an open letter published
by the Ministerial association. Elder
Roberts frankly declared that the
church had surrendered not one iota
of it's belief in the principle of polyg-
amy, but countenanced no polyga-
nous marriages while they were for
hidden by the law.
OF himself he said
'I stand exactly where I did ten
years ago, namely that though the
church proclaimed America against the
continuation of this relationship,
though the state proclaimed against
1t, neither the church nor the state
may absolve the moral obligations I
am under, or release me from that
moral duty"
Mr.. Roberts characterized the min
listers as belonging to third sex
neither male nor female and said they
were better qualified for pink teas
than craftsmanship. All of the high
officials of the church, including Pres
ident Smith, were present and tacitly
indorsed the address of Mr.. Roberts
as an utterance of the church body.
