LABOR MUST ENTER POLITICS
Advice of English Leader In Address
at Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 10.-The rapid rise of
trade unionism in England and It's ex-
traordinary success In the field of
politics was set forth in an address
bristling with criticism of English
politics made by John Hodge, mem
ber of parliament and a well known
English labor leader. He spoke be-
fore the Woman's Trade Union league
In Bowen hall, Hull House.
Mr.. Hodges visit to Chicago fol-
lowed his attendance upon the Amer
lean Federation of Labor convention
at Norfolk, Va. He asserted that the
future of the labor movement lies in
the political field and that this should
be the beacon of trades unionists
But Mr.. Hodge loves neither socialism
Or its doctrines.
"The first English trades unions
were formed because capital OPP
pressed labor" he said. ''It was not
until later that labor realized how
ridiculous it Is to band into unions to
force an employer to grant humane
working conditions and then to elect
him to parliament to make the laws to
govern his workingmen."

The effect of the Sunday closing was

nothing better than to walk the
streets. Upon the closed doors of the
opera houses, theaters, music halls,
dancing academies, skating rinks and
penny arcades placards had been
posted. These bluntly announced that

SWEDEA'S AGED KING DEAD
Oscar II. Expires in the Royal
Palace at Stockholm.

Stockholm, Dec. 10.-Oscar H., king
of Sweden, is dead, aged seventy
eight.
The death of the venerable mon
arch occurred in the royal apartment
of the palace, where, surrounded by
the members of his family, including
the aged Queen Sophia and the crown
prince, Oscar Gustave, and high min
listers of state, the inevitable end had
been awaited, while outside the pal
ace great crowds stood with bowed
heads and fearful eyes long after the
announcement came of the death of
their well beloved sovereign.
The last hours Of the expiring mon
arch were passed in unconsciousness
and up to the end he gave no sign of
recognizing those about him. The
queen was grief stricken because he
could not bid her farewell
The whole country is bowed with
grief for King Oscar, who was some
thing more than a ruler of his people
and had endeared himself to them as
an intimate and personal friend.
The succession to the throne OF
Sweden now passes to Oscar Gustave
Adolphe, duke of Vermland, the oldest
son of the late king. At a meeting
Of the council of state the new king
took the oath of allegiance under the
title of Gustave " and adopted the
motto, with the people for the father
land" The princes then took oath OF
allegiance and the new monarch &C.

rest on Charge of Erbezzlement.

San Francisco, Dec. 10.-David F.
Walker, president of the California
Safe Deposit and Trust company, was
found speeding South on a Southern
Pacific train when he was supposed to
be at his San Mateo home. He was
placed under arrest and taken from
the train at Santa Barbara on instruc-
tions of Assistant District Attorney
Francis ]. Heney.
Shortly after the arrest of Bankers
Brown and Bartnett detectives were
hurried to San Mateo to keep David
F. Walker, president of the bank, un-
der surveillance, but finding he had
already left his home trailed him down
to Santa Barbara, where he was held
by the police.
Though no warrant had been sworn
out for Walker it was thought best to
keep him in sight. The detectives on
reaching San Mateo surrounded the
house where he was supposed to be
lying i'll, but heard that man answer
ing Walkers description had been
seen boarding train for the South.
A hasty investigation proved that their
man had flown, but word was sent
down the line and the police of Santa
Barbara took him in charge. Heney
telegTaphed that Walker be held.
Through the activity of the depos-
itors' committee of the defunct Cali.

pany the above developments were
made possible in a few hours after

stockholders in large sums, to them.
selves and to mythical companies.
1t was intended to cause the arrest
of the officials for these acts, but upon
advice of Francis ]. Heney the minor
charges were dropped for that of fell
ony embezzlement in connection with
the misappropriation of the funds of
the Cotton estate.
AS result of the committees work
J. Dalzell Brown was arrested, war;
rant was issued for the arrest of Wal
ter j. Bartnett on a charge of felony
embezzlement and detective was dis
patched to San Mateo to the home of
David F. Walker, president of the
bank, with instructions to stay there
day and night and to keep him under
surveillance until the committee gave
him further instructions. His depar-
ture from there led to his subsequent
capture and arrest at Santa Barbara.
W. J.. Bartnett was arrested at his
home in Marion county and was held
in custody there. Brown, who was ar
rested earlier in the day in this city,
was locked up in Jail.
