READY TO
MAKE APPEAL
ATTORNEY FOR REvoLUTIoNIsTs
PREPARED
LEAVES FOR SACRAMENTO NEXT
SUNDAY NIGHT
Hartman Has Many Documents Bear
ing on the case-Earge Number
of Prominent Men Join
In Protest

Attorney Job Hartman and others In
terested in the defense of the alleged
Mexican revolutionists, Magon and VIVA
real, will start for Sacramento SUNDAY
night to argue with Governor Gillett that
no extradition be granted in the cases.
influential men who prefer that their
names be kept in the background Will
second the efforts of the lawyer In defeat
ing what they term is misuse of official
machinery to silence men whose only
crime is political agitation
Serious charges will be laid before the
governor, 1t is stated, and may be brought
into court If 1t is necessary to prevent
the return Of the accused men to the sister
republic.
They are content to go back to st. Louis
to answer the charge of libel there, but
to cross the border, 1t is feared, may spell
death for them.
Every effort will be made to prevent
their return to their native country, for
1t has been demonstrated, they say, that
Justice for an anti-Diaz man is almost
unknown.
clippings, affidavits, letters and other doc
uments to fortify himself in his argument
that the arrest Of these men in Los An
geles was an outrage, done without legal
process on flimsy charges
"At first 1 supposed these men were
wild-eyed advocates of a cause which was
subject to some suspicion said Attorney
Hartman yesterday, "but closer inquiry
shows me that we are perpetrating a
wrong on educated, peaceful, fair-minded
men who have their own country's In
terests at heart.
Asked Explanation
"The original charge against them is
that they instigated petition before the
congress of Mexico asking that President
Diaz give an accounting of the $46o, 0oo
of foreign loans made during his adminis-
tration. This is serious thing to do with
Diaz in power.
"Revolutionists. as they are called, have
told me their platform.
ut asks, for instance, that every Mexi-
can be permitted to cast his vote 1t Is
charged that convicts and soldiers are
turned loose at many polling places In
order to help the administration ticket
win.
"They ask for schools and universal
education. Thousands of district schools
have been closed In Mexico because the
people were learning too much to suit GER
tain Leaders
Vast tracts of land have been sold, and
It appears that poems have also been sold
into slavery. The revolutionists want this
stopped.
"They want the homestead plan of the
United States adopted so that men can
settle on the idle acres owned by the gov
of years.
"They also want the mill operatives paid
81 a day instead of so cents.
.gThese are the principal planks of their
platform and there surely is nothing
about it."

IS ELKT0N so BAD

The Wilmington Erery Erening O
Monday last contained half page, article
purporting to present the views of many
Elkton citizens on the failure oi
prohibition to prohibit. The article
was evidently paid advertisement
and we are not able to say whether the
Interviews" were bona fde and correct,
or not. If they were, it looks as it were
high time the officers of the law were get
ing awake. If violations OF the law are so
frequent, notorious, and obvious as these
interviews" assert seems very remark
able that everybody can know OF them,
except the officer of the law. Whatever
one may think of the wisdom or un-
wisdom of the prohibitory law, no law
abiding citizen can question the propriety
OF enforcing the law as it stands upon the
Statute books. If things are as bad in
Elkton as these interviews represent, is
it not fair question, what our public Of
fcials are for? The prohibitory law is
here, and here by the peoples will, for
four years to come. These purported in
terviews reflect great discredit on
that law. But how about the discredit
these interviews reflect on the officers of
the law Let's go the whole trip when

ORIGIN OF STEAM WITS TIE

On recent visit of the British Asso-
citation to Leicester the engineering Sec
ton was taken over the Leicester & Swan
nington Railway, which has just cele-
brated its seventy. fifth anniversary. It
was opened in July, 1892 Il was through
an accident on that line on May 4th,
1888, that the steam whistle was adopted.
The engineer Of a train saw horse and
cart approaching level crossing, but
although he blew his horn, the man in
charge Of the cart paid no attention. The
horse passed over the rails, but the engine
caught the corner of the cart and wrecked
it. The manager of tile line reported the
circumstances to George Stephenson, by
whom the line was built, and suggested
that whistle blown by steam should be
fitted on the engine. Stephenson ordered
one to be provided, and steam trumpet
was accordingly constructed by musical
instrument maker in Leicester.

DIRECTIONS FOR CANNING

Before putting fruit in glass jars wash
them in soap suds containing little Soda
Then rinse well with scalding water and
set them in the sun to dry.
Ii you want the favor of the fruit to
come out do not use an excess of sugar.
Never use poor fruit for canning The
better is none too good Let 1T be as
fresh as possible and not oyer-ripe.
Handle ii as little as possible
Have everything in readiness before
you begin operations. The woman who
has to run to the pantry or kitchen every
time thing is wanted makes herself
double the work that's necessary.
Use the best grade of sugar 1t may
cost little more than the ordinary, but
it will make your fruit enough better to
pay the difference in cost.
DO not stir your fruit when cooking.
If you want to know how it is coming
along, take out piece without disturbing
the rest.
Give it brisk boiling. II allowed to
stand and simmer it will not retain its
shape well.
When the cans are ready for sealing see
that the cover fits perfectly. Do not use
one that does not hug tightly TO the
shoulder of tile jar.

COAL GROWING SCARCE
Several Large Orders are Turned Down.
Shortage is Alarming

PHILADELPHIA, August 3lst.-Because
of its inability to fill the order, the Phila-
| delphia and Reading Coal and Iron Com
pany was compelled to decline contract
for 100000 tons Of anthracite, the order
for which was rendered by a representa-
tive Of Austria Hungarian chambers of
commerce. The proposed purchaser was
willing to pay the regular price for pac-
ing the coal on board vessels, either here
or in New York.
Another order for 200,O tons of BIZ
luminous coal, wanted by the Italian
government, is also being offered to the
largest soft coal operators of the United
States with little prospect of its being
taken, because of the great expense in
delivering it to its destination.
Tie great demand for coal BY foreign
governments is attributed to the increased
coal consumption by their warships. All
native coal is being used for this purpose
and the supply is not equal to the de-
mand
Am officer of the Reading company
explained that his company was COM
PEELED to decline all such orders because
Of the great demand for coal among
customers in this country and because
OF the scarcity of labor at the collieries. !
The same conditions confronted every
other anthracite company as well as all
operators, lie said. 1t was
further explained that the shortage of all
grades of coal is increasing daily and
many western railroads are now much
disturbed concerning the supply for the
coming winter. Men who formerly
worked in the mines are seeking employ
ment in less dangerous lines of business.
Many have abandoned mining as a means
Of livelihood and have turned to farming
in western states. Foreigners who for
nerly came to the United States to take
Up mining now seek employment in other
ields OF labor.
