NEW LABOR MOVEMENT
Western Federation Launches In.
dustriaI Organization.

DENVER, Colo, Feb. A new
labor movement, involving the or
ganization of workingmen of all
kinds on industrial rather than craft
lines, has been launched in Denver
by the executive board of the West
ern Federation of Miners, and an
attempt will be made to make it a
national organization in extent. The
first general convention will be held
in Chicago on April 6, when dele
gates are expected from the West
ern Federation of Miners, the Indus
trial Workers of the World, the
United Mine Workers of America,
the United Brewery Workers and
other national and international lab
or unions.
1t is understood that William d.
Haywood, who was recently acquit-
ted of the murder of Ex-Governor
Steunenberg in Idaho, and who will
probably be the Socialist candidate
for president this year, is the leader
in the new movement. The union
will not be directly affiliated with any
political party, but will be Socialis-
tic in it's tendencies.
Haywood has recently been max
ing a tour of the East and Central
West, and while in Indianapolis ad-
dressed the national convention of
the United Mine Workers and at
tempted to effect a reconciliation
between that organization and the
Western Federation of Miners. In
this he was unsuccessful, and it is
believed that Haywood now hopes
to win a portion of the members of
the United Mine Workers for the
new organization.
The plan of organization now in
effect among the unions affiliated
with the American Federation of
Labor is denounced by the execu-
tive board of the Western FEEDER
alton as tending to the perpetuatiOn
of capitalism and the permanent en-
slavement of the workers through
the wage system"

House Case.


HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. A.

at the trial of Sanderson, former
Auditor General Snyder, former
State Treasurer Matthues and James
M. Shumaker, former superintendent
Of grounds and buildings, in the
Dauphin county court today. The
defense fought vigorously against the
introduction of this evidence, which
would have been difficult for the
commonwealth to show that his
charges by the Surface foot" meas
urements was irregular, but was
overruled by Judge Kunkel.
The commonwealth also connected
the former state officers with Sander
son in the conspiracy charge by
showing that they certified to bills
containing the wrong item number
In the schedule upon which Sand
erson was given the capitol furnish
ing contract. To do this the states
lawyers showed that previous to the
payment of bills for sofas, tables and
clothes trees in the case now on
trial, Sanderson had rendered bills
under the proper item number in the
schedule, and contended that there
fore Snyder, Matthues and Shumak-
er must have had knowledge that the
certification of the bill under the
wrong item was fraudulent.
One of the senate sofas, measur-
ing liz feet long, 2h feet deep
and 5 X feet high, was brought into

NoBLEMAN AFTER POOR WIFE
Has Money and Title, and Seeks
American Woman.

LONDON, Feb. 4.-wanted, by a
nobleman with one Of the best titles
in all England, and an independent
fortune bringing an annual income
of $1,0O0,O0O, a beautiful aud eul-
tured wife. American preferred. Pow
erty no objection, and extremely
wealthy women will not be consid-
cred. Applicant is % years of age,
6 feet and 2 inches tall and called
handsome and distinguished in ap-
pearanee. He desires to marry for
love alone, and title-hunters will
please not apply.
If the handsome and wealthy Mar
quis OF Anglesey were a believer in
the efficacy of printers ink, 1t is
probable some such advertisement
would be inserted by him In the
American press. The youthful Mar
quis will leave shortly for an ex-
tended tour of America, and London
society will be surprised II he re-
1Ni 40 WAtAOul ~ WlAS. 1t Is known
that he is infatuated with American
women and that his trip to the new
world is made for the purpose of
affording opportunity to inspect the
pick and pink of American feminity
on their native soil.
Ever since he reached his major
ity, English mammas have been seek
ing to interest the Marquis of Angle
sey in their eligible daughters; but
without avail. The young noble
man is apparently determined upon
an American wife and the efforts of
London matchmakers have gone for
naught.
The marquis is one OF the wealth
lest of English noblemen, his income
being in the neighborhood of 81 ,0O0,-
600 year. Money will decidedly
not be his object in selecting a wife,
so the poor but charming girls of
the land across the sea will have an
equal chance with their richer sisters
in winning the heart, title and for
tune of the young marquis.

REVERSAL BY LAND OFFICE
Says That Persons Can Take Out but
One Assignment.


One Assignment.
WASHINGTON, Feb. At was
stated AZ the general land Office today
that decisions in a dozen or more
similar cases have been rendered by
that Office within the past few
months holding that a person can
take but one assignment of land from
claimants. This is a reversal of pri-
or decisions on that subject, the
former practice being that a person
could take up any number of assign
ments, but the total number of as
signments could not exceed 500
acres. The former regulation, It is
said, opened up the way for frauds.
but under the present decision II is
believed that this will be prevented.
