Treatment of Imprisoned
CRATER Is Found to

Chief Justice Beatty's refusal
to allow Henry Ach to prolong
his talk before the Supreme Court
yesterday morning at the hearing
on Ruef's latest habeas corpus ap-
peal indicates that that court is
not in mood to stand any trifing
with its dignity.
The question at issue was the
legality OF the appointment oz the
elisor to whose custody the pris-
oner had been committed. Ach
had alleged that it cruel
and unusual form of punishment.
Biggy and Heney filed afhdavits
setting forth that the prisoner had
been given clean and pleasant
quarters and wholesome food. and
that his mental attitude was ap-
parentlv one of jocularity. In
addition TO the viands furnished
on Biggv's table. the afhdavits
alleged that Ruef had been al
lowed to provide himself with
wines. liquors and other delica-
cies. and that a special ice chest
had heen nrovided for their Stor-
age.
However unusual this might
be. the court showed no inclina-
fion to consider it cruel, but Ach
insisted that a commission be ap-
pointed to look into the matter
IF you are entitled to any re-
lief it would certainly seem that

and when Ach arose to argue the
matter the Chief Justice said:

MoRroN's BUTLER HAS 100000.
Es-vice Presidents EmpIoye Decides
to Quit and Enjoy His Fortune.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, July 2.-Rob-
ert Stubs, for years butler in the
home of Levi P. Morton, has retired
from his position with fortune Of
100000, and has returned to England,
his native country, to live.
Stubs was hired by Mr.. Morton in
England. When he was minister to
France Stubbs went with him, and his
butler manners were noticed and adj
mired. When Mr. Morton become vice
president of the United States Stubs
went to Washington with the family,
and the socially and politically promi-
nent of those days will remember the
rotund figure, the round, smooth face
and cockney accent of the vice presi-
dents butler.
When Mr.. Morton became governor
of New York state Stubs went to
Albany with the governors family. At
Ellerslie, the Morton home, at Rhine
cliff, Stubbs was the first man seen by
every caller for many years.
The butler was thrifty and saved
his money, and it is understood from
time to time Mr.. Morton gave him
tips on what to buy in the market and
elsewhere, with the result that few
weeks ago Stubs found he was pos
sessed of about 100000, and deter
mined to retire.

BLOOD is SHED AT LODI
AT LEAST 80 KILLED IN RUSSIAN
LABOR OUTBREAK.
Troops Face $4,000 Angry Men
Great Strike War Is
Feared.

Lodz, Aug. 2.-This city is again
the scene of a strike movement, &C.
companied by violence, disorder and
death. The troops have encountered
the strikers in the center of the
town and some 80 men have been
killed or wounded in this fight alone.
Business is at standstill and fears
are entertained of what the day may
bring forth. The trouble came to
head Wednesday and in spite of the
aggressive stand taken by the author
tiles the disorders recommended early
Thursday.
The strike is serious; 1t would ap.
pear to be the beginning of big la
Dor war, and the workmen's unions
are prepared for long struggle. The
immediate cause of the outbreak was
the course pursued by the police dur
Ing the last eight days in making q
large number of arrests in attempts
to break up the unions. The princi-
pal socialist leaders have been thrown
into Jail. The police have been SO
energetic in their measures against
the unions that they have united the
social democrats, the Polish socialists
; and the nationalist, parties who up to
| the present time have been waging a
merciless war, accompanied by daily
murders and outrages among them.
selves.
A general strike has been declared,
and the social democrats and the Pol
ish socialists have called out 80, 900
men.
Bands Of laborers were sent out in
the city to wreck street cars This
they did in number of cases, and
later they used the cars as barricades
from which to stone the police. Dur
Ing the calling out of the strikers one
factory foreman and two shopkeepers
were killed and two laborers were
mortally wounded.
The disorders grew as the day wore
on. AT three p. m. the military
forces were modified, but there was
no engagement with the workmen UNI.
til 8 p. m. At this hour the opposing
forces came together in the center Of
| the town. The fighting was serious
and prolonged. The workmen fred
several hundred shots from automatic
pistols and did not dispense until
they had been charged by cavalry.
| At least 30 men were killed or
| wounded. Ambulances at once cleared
the streets of dead bodies. Among
the dead is German subject.
The town was patrolled constantly
Wednesday night by detachments Of
Cossacks and dragons.

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 3.-Gov. John
A. Johnson has issued proclamation
defining the rights of the contending
parties to the iron miners strike and
warning all to preserve the peace. The

ton. 1t prohibits the marching of
large bodies of strikers and forbids
trespass upon private property. The
strikers are to be protected in their
right to peacefully assemble in their
halls and the public roads are to be
open to them ip small groups. Both
Petrie1la and Acting President Ma

to have their men keep strictly within
the limits laid down in the proclama-
ton, and the peace officers were in
structed not to interfere with the
meetings of the strikers,
Commissioner 7. d. O'Brien stated
that he believed the crisis had now
been passed on the iron range. and
that trouble which was threatened be-
cause of over-zealous peace officers
had been averted.

ALABAMA CANCELS LICENSE.
Southern Roads Right to Operate In
the State Is AnnulIed.

Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 3.-The IL
cense OF the Southern railway to do
business in the state of Alabama has
been revoked, by action of Secretary
OF state Frank N. Julian, who has
caused to be entered upon the stub of
the license in the records of his office
the statement that for violation of sen.
ate bill number six, effective July /
the Southern railway has been de-
prived of its right to do business in
the state
The action of the secretary of state
is not in resistance to restraining or
ders issued by the United States court
OF the Fifth circuit, as this law is NOT
among those combated by the rail-
roads and are not included in any of
the litigation now pending in the court
OF Federal Judge Jones of the middle
Alabama district. The case upon
which the revocation was made out
came from the Circuit court of ITALIA
dega county, in the shape of a notifica-
ton from Clerk j. d. McNeel that a
SUIT had been removed from the state
court to the federal court. Secretary
OF state Julian looked into the law
and found that there was nothing else
to DO but mark the license conceled,
as the action of the statute is auto.
matte.
