comradss, Have Patience.


There is a good deal Of not
unnatural unrest among the
comrades as TO the allowance Of
their claims under the McCum
Der act. This Impotence finds
expression in letters to the
National Tribune and to the
Commissioner of Pensions
which makes a great volume Of
mail every day. We want TO say
again, as we have frequently
said, that there is no use for the
comrades to write; that they
cannot expedite the allowance Of
their claims nor affect their
course in any way. They must
remember that the passage Of
the bill brought an avalanche Of
applications, more than 100000
in all. The first work was to
register these, and a large por-
ton Of the Bureaus force was
turned to this, while the remain
der carried on the ordinary
work Of the office, adiudicating
and issuing claims under the
former laws. The registration
of the claims as fast as received
by the office making the date of
the allowance Of the claim, and
no matter when it is finally adju-
dicated the pension viii begin
upon the date Of its fling in the
Pension Bureau. Therefore it
makes no real difference to the
comrades when the allowance is
made, since all that they win
suffer will be the inconvenience
of waiting for some time longer
for their money. The Pension
Omce is doing a phenomenal
work in the way Of adiudicating
these claims, and is turning them
out now at the rate Of $4,000 a
month. This is something abso-
lutely unprecedented in the his
tory Of the Bureau, but it win
take several months yet TO COM
plete the allowance of all the
claims that have already been
filed. Let the comrades have
patience and confidence. Writ
ing letters win do no good, but
rather some injury, since every
letter received has to be filed and
answered, and this takes some
time that would otherwise be
given to the allowance of claims.
Let us reiterate that there win
be nothing lost by waiting. If
the claim has been sent in it has
been placed on file and the pen
sion has begun. National Tri.
bune.

Gorge of Ice Goes Out Taking An

Owing to the accident, the New

The rapid rising of the West Fork

the slowness in coming up of the

cause Of the accident. The collapse

CHARLESTON, Feb. 2-Senator
Ashburn wanted senate bill No. 142
referred to the railroad committee.
He said that several bills properly
belonged to this committee of which
he is chairman, had ben referred to
the judiciary and mining committees.
He said his committee had under
consideration the bill limiting hours
of railroad telegraphers to hours,
but that a bill to the same effect pass
ed by the house had been referred
TO the committee on labor. Senator
Ashburn moved that senate bill No.
142 be referred to the railroad com
mittee.
Senator Foreman said the house
bill on railroad telegraphers had a
slip of paper attached on which was
written request that it go to the
labor committee. The slip was not
put there by the friends OF the bill.
Senator Ashburn demanded the
ayes and noes on the motion to refer
to the railroad committee. On the
roll call most of the senators stated
their position. Several of them took
occasion to declare they favor two
cent fare bill.
Senator Thorn made a vigorous
speech. He said there is a stigma
in the minds of the people as to the
senate, that they have believed the
railroads and the Standard OIL hold
US. Il say this is not the case" he
continued, The two-cent rate bill
is necessity and we have no assur-
ance that unless we put some law on
the statute books that the railroads
will not again require deposit for
mileage books"
Senator Thorn said some warm
things about the railroads, that they
are synonymous with Standard OIL.
that when they can not beat the peo-
pie one way they do another. He
said no man has higher regard for
Senator Henry C. Davis, but when he
comes and makes aphorisms about
being fair to the railroads, say we
have been fair. 1T is time" he
said, "for the senate to wake up and
show the people the senate is not rail-
roadized, corporationized or Stand
ard oilized."

JOSEPH A. WALKER, SECRET SER.

SLAYER A MINE EMPLOYE
TRAGEDY OCCURS AT HEsPERUs
COAL MINE, SIXTEEN MILES
WEST OF DURANGO.

Durango, Colo.-While engaged in
securing evidence of alleged frauds
In timber and coal lands in this Sec
ton. Joseph A. Walker of Denver. spe-
cial agent of the United States Depart
ment of Justice, was shot and instantly
killed near Hesperus, sixteen miles
west of here. Sunday, by Joseph Van
derwyve,. an employe of the Union
Pacific Coal Company. The shooting
occurred on a desolate. lonely noun
tain side, almost inaccessible from the
town of Porter. and with no one pres
ent to tell the story but the man who
did the shooting, and his companion,
William r. Mason. superintendent for
the company and Vanderwyve's en-
ployer.
Walker, with two brother officers,
A. E. CT apson and p. J. Galligan. and
Thomas Harper. a miner. were en-
gagged in an examination of one of
the mines of the Union Pacific Coal
Company, which it had purchased from
the Porter Coal Company. against
which latter corporation indictments
were returned by the federal grand
jury charging fraud In connection
with the original filing on the prop
erty. With the object of entering the
mine on Sunday, when little work was
being done, the officers climbed the
mountain to an air shaft connecting
with the main workings of the prop
erty and prepared to lower themselves
into the workings with ropes.
Chapson. Galligan and Harper went
Into the mine. leaving Walker at the
opening to guard the ropes with which
the men had been lowered. According
to the story of the shooting. Mason
and Validerwyve were engaged in an
inspection of the property of the COM
pnny and came upon Walker. who
commanded them to halt, at the same
time leveling a revolver and firing at
them. The men continued to advance
and Vanderwyve, armed with a shot
gun loaded with heavy buckshOt, fired
on the officer. the whole charge Of
shot taking effect in his body. One
pellet struck him in the neck. passing
clear through and severing the jugu-
lar vein. Death was almost instan-
taneOus. The two men then cut the
ropes hanging in the shaft and pro-
ceeded to Porter, where they reported
the shooting.
Officers were sent to the scene and
an investigation begun. Walkers body
was brought to Durango Sunday night.
According to the story of Vanderwyve
and Mason. the officer was stranger
to them and they had no knowledge of
his business in the property. He has.
according to the authorities, been en-
gagged in the investigation that he was
pursuing. at the time of his death for
the past ten months and was well
known to everybody in this section Of
southern Colorado.

Farmers Will Hold Their Corn.

Lincoln, Neb.-The financial trO,i-
bles in New York, with their later
echo in the West, has not alarmed
the farmers of Nebraska. For the
last decade farmers of this state have
disposed of their crops by contract
before they were harvested, but this
year conditions are changed.
During the week word came to Lin
coin from all sections of the state
to the effect that the farmers are
building bins to store away the corn
they are soon to harvest. They say
they will hold their grain for higher
prices, although as high as AS cents
is now being offered.
Some of them, of course. will sell a
part of their yield within the next
few weeks; some of them will sell
their entire crop. while a few have
already contracted for the disposal
of their grain. These. however. are
in the minority.
A majority of the farmers, local
grain men say. will hold their crops
for a higher figure, and some expect
rs cents bushel. They feel assured
they will be offered that price before
spring.
