HARGRovE COLLEGE OPENING
REPAIR WORK ABOUT coMPLET.
ED.-MANY INQUIRIES BEING
RECEIVED OF STUDENTS.

The plumbing work on the main
building of Hargroye College, amount
ing to something like $500, has about
been completed, the walls OF the col
lege have been papered, and things
are shaping themselves around Har-
grove for the opening OF school
which is near.
For the past three months work
men and others have been employed
putting the main school buildings and
dormitories of the college into condi.
ton for the coming session of school
and they have done wonders. The
interior OF the college has taken on
a new and altogether strange air. The
dining room is probably one OF the
handsomest rooms of the college, as
considerable time and money have
been spent on the interior of the
room.
President Staples of the institution
stated today that inquiries were COM
ing from all parts OF the Southwest
and from the present prospects Hag-
grove would begin this session of
school with the brightest prospects.
The teachers who will form the fac
ulty during the year will begin to ar.
rive in the city this week. and all
will be in readiness to receive them.

AGAINST ORGANIZED LABOR
RECORD SHOWS THAT TAFT HAS
CONTEMPT FOR THE
WORKING MAN.

When Taft was United States cir.
cult udge in 1898 he appointed Sam.
uel NJ. FELTON, receiver OF the Cincin.
natl. New Orleans and Texas Pacific
railroad.
In July. 1904, Eugene V Debs was
president Of the American Railway
Union. The union became involved in
a controversy with the receiver OF
the road and ordered a strike. r.
w. Phelan was sent to Cincinnati
by Debs to look after the interest OF
the union labor employees The
ceiver appointed by Taft. FELTON,.
went into Taft's court and asked for
an injunction against the working.
men prohibiting them from quitting
work and forcing them to continue
working for the receiver and asking
that Phelan. who was representing
them. be sent to jail for exercising
his right OF free speech In advising
his fellow workingmcn In their houl
OF trouble.
This case is reported in volume 81
Federal Reporter, page sos.
In the course OF his discussion Of
the case Judge Taft plainly shows
his contempt for the workingman At
page SO he uses this language:
"Phelan and those members of the
city committee who accompanied him
to this meeting deny that this was
said but by their denial show nothing
save that their loyalty to their chief
is greater than the sancity of their
oaths."
BY this statement Judge Taft
shows that he does not believe the
workingman when he is arraigned be-
fore the court and is speaking in his
own defense against the attack of the
capitalist.
He further shows how little regard
he has for the rights Of the laboring
people when he sends their represen
tatiye to Jail for six months for con
sulting with them for their own good
on page s22 of the same opinion he
uses this language;
Something has been said about the
right OF assembly and free speech So
cured by the constitution of Ohio. II
would be strange indeed II that right
could be used to sustain the carrying
out of such an unlawful and crimina
conspiracy as we have seen this tt
be-"
Thus he charged that the workin
people who saw fit to quit their work
because they were not satisfied, wer,
criminals. and then he proceeds tC
punish Mr.. Phelan and uses this Ian
guage in summing up lis opinion:
After due consideration | do no
think | should be doing my duty as {
judicial officer of the United States
without imposing upon the contemnel
the penalty of imprisonment The
sentence of the court is that Frank
w Phelan be confined in the county
Jail OF Warren county, Ohio. for 9
term of six months"

UNITED STATES LANDS FORCE
WILL PROTECT AMERICAN INTER-
'EsTs IN PRINCIPAL HoNpU-
RAN PORTS.

Washington, March 23.-Bluejackets
and marines have been landed from
the United States gunboat Marietta ut
Tru1illo and Ceiba, and probably at
Puerto Cortez, Honduras, in order to
protect American interests in these
ports. Advices to this effect were re-
cefved yesterday at the navy depart
ment from Commander Fullam of the
Marietta. and they were at once trans.
mitted to the state department.
Situation Well in Hand.
The navy department feels that the
action taken by Commander Fullam
brings the situation completely in
hand, SO far as the safeguarding OF
trade interests are concerned. In adj
dit'on to the protection given to Amer
leans it is felt that the action of this
government will relieve. foreign gov.
ernments of the necessity of taking
any steps toward making naval DEM
onstration. The landing of bluejackets
and marines and the policing of both
shores of the Central American repub-
lies with United States sunboats be-
fore trading vessels
Had Been Moiested
In any manner. or foreign interests
jeopardized, is regarded here as di-
plomatic move that will prevent any
international complications growing
out of the policy of the United States
not to permit European demonstra-
lions in Central American or South
American waters.
Both coasts of the warning Central
American republics are completely
covered by American gunboats.
Intervention Urged.
Joint intervention by Mexico and tie
United States in the war which threat
ems to involve Central America is now
regarded as probable by diplomatists.
1t is generally believed in diplomatic
circles that joint demand on the
part Of Mexico and this nation that
must cease would result in i'm
mediate peace and the settlement of
mooted questions through tribunal
created by the joint action of Mexico
and the United States, and so consti-
tuted that justice to all of the belliger-
ent powers would be insured.
