Strike Leader PetrieIIa Makes an In
flannnatory Address

Duluth, Mimi. Aug. 1.-Work on the
ore docks began promptly this morn
ing with 243 men and more will be put
to work as the day advances There
was no trouble. There are between 200,-
900 and 250, 900 tons of ore on the docks
which will last week besides the
Proctor yards are full of loaded cars.
Sheriff Bates is on the scene and will
watch things and report to the COVER
nor if there is need of troops.
Operations were resumed this morn
ing in both the Hibbing and Eveleth
districts. At Eveleth more than 300 men
were working at the Adams and Spruce
mine, and at the Fayal open pit ore
was being taken. out. The Drake and
Stratton company was also stripping.
In the Hibbing district a large num-
ber of mines were operated this morn
ing.
The ore from these mines is being
shipped to Duluth and Two Harbors to
supply the docks there.
There was no violence of any kind
this morning. but the effect of an in
fiammatory speech by Strike Leader
Petriella before mass meeting of the
strikers at Chisholm last evening, is
feared.
PetrieiIa's speech was repeated in
four languages. He said the moment
was at hand when the miners should
take the law into their own hands He
ordered the men to arm themselves and
be prepared to strike to kill. He said
he did not care how many OF them were
killed for the cause and urged the men
to fight to. the last. Petriella said he
had wired to the governor who replied
that he would rake a personal invest-
cation.
IT want you to give them "a hours
and if at the end of that time justice
is denied US, be ready to strike at the
head of any man who tries to crush
you
He advised the men to keep within
their halls and guard them with rifles.
The Western Federation of Miners, he
said, was behind them.
Superior, Wis, Aug 1.-The AEfouez
ore docks resumed work this morning
with sufficient crews to begin loading

TROUBLES OF CHANLER.

to prosecute legal action now pending.
Chanler is a lunatic in the state of New
York under a commitment of the SUI
preme court and at the same time is a
sane man under the rulings of the courts
of Virginia. 1t is in connection with a
decision of the New York supreme court
in his case t5at he purposes to begin an
would be taken to restrain him under
the lunacy decision If he entered the
state, Chanler today through his attor-
ney appealed to Judge Hough in the
United States court for an order re-
straining any person from interfering
with his liberty when he comes here
next October Judge Hough said he
knew of no law which would justify
him in taking such action, but he sug-
gested that the moment Chanler came
within the jurisdiction of the United
States court he could avail himself of
a writ of habeas corpus to protect him
during the trial. ...-...
Thomas T. Sherman some time ago

person, and as such has had control of
Chanler's big estate. In the trial set for

property restored to his keeping.

Joker" IN TAX LAW.
Provides for a Uniform System of
County Bookkeeping.

One little phrase, slipped into the tax
commission law at the last session of
the legislature, may have the effect of
putting many OF the counties of the
state to heavy additional expense on
the purchase of new sets of account
books apd blanks.
This little Joker" which got into the
law is as follows: THE said tax COM
mission shall provide uniform method
of keeping the tax rolls and books re-
lating to taxation in each county of the
state and prescribe uniform sys-
tenn of auditing and accounting of the
receipts and disbursements of public
funds in the municipalities of the
state"
This gives the tax commission auth
or1ty to determine just what kind of
books each county shall use If the tax
commission so decides, the counties
adopt a new system
AT the present time there are about
40 counties using what is called the
Caton system of accounting. and ten
use the system. The Cation system is a
copyrighted system in which J. E.
Cation installs the system in a county
and furnishes all the books needed for
ten years time. Every county which
has invested in this system will be out
a large sum of money if the tax COM
mission decides to change accounting
methods. This morning ex-County
Treasurer Thompson, of jackson coun-
ty, and County Treasurer Tucker, came
before the tax commission and explain
ed copyrighted system of accounting
wh1ch MI Thompson has devised, and
which Is in use in Jackson, Brown and
other counties.
What the possessors of these copy
right systems want is to be let alone
1t Is possible, however, that the tax
commission may be able to enter into
some sort OF an arrangement with some
OF the owners of these systems by which
the state itself would adopt them for
use in all counties. 1t might be possi-
bic that the state would be willing to
pay something for the privilege of
adopting the system though there would
no doubt be considerable advantage to
the owner of the system to have it an
nounced that the state of Kansas was
using the system in every county.

H. c. Kendall, state dairy commits

partment vouchers. He Announces
that he is at work on the task of get

"It is a very formidable undertake

may take some time to secure the de-
sired information. can get a list of
all the creameries and receiving sta
tions for creameries without any diff
ficulty, but the addresses of the pro
ducers of milk will be different mat
ter.
Even the creamery people do not
know how many producers there are
The Continental Creamery alone has
400 receiving stations in Kansas, and
each of these stations receives milk
and cream from a great many differ
ent producers. 1t will readily be seen
that a mailing list of this description
will be very voluminous affair.
81 have been making some pre-
liminary Investigations concerning the
milk supply in the larger cities of the
state. This morning I called upon
the president of the Topeka board of
health. and also upon your food in
spector. I desire to cooperate in any
the purpose of improving the milk
supply of specific localities. 1t will be
necessary for me to centralize my eff
forts to some extent at first, for 1 can't
do the whole state at one time. BY
getting the work we'll started in GER
tain localities it will proceed faster in

were all removed to the cottages on
the outskirts of the grounds without
trouble. Today they were returned

VERDICT is SUICIDE.
Jury Finds That Miss Matthews and
Rumbaugh Killed Themselves.

Colorado Springs. Aug. ALI sus-
picion against Amos r. Rumbaugh. as
the slayer OF Miss Laura Matthews was
removed through the verdict of the
coroner's jury. The verdict reads, I'VE,
The jury, tmpanelled to inquire into the
cause of death of Laura Matthews And
that she came to her death from gun
shot wounds inflicted with suicidal in
tent"
The verdict was rendered after the
jury had been out exactly thirty min
utes.
An inquest was later held over the
remains of Amos r. RumbauRh who
shot himself through the head. The YER
dict was that he came to his death by
his own hand. Suspicion for a time
pointed to Runbaugh its having caused
the death OF Miss Matthews, because
of his apparent infatuation for the
young woman and his failure to appear
at the inquest as a witness.
Miss Tillie Green of Scottsville, Mich.
who was Miss Matthews nurse and
whose effects had been held by the au-
thorities pending developments is de-
c1ared in no way to blame for the young
