BOGUS LETTER CAUSES SUICIDE.
Name of Sweetheart Forged to Mis-
sive-Police Investigating.

Burlington, Nov. 2O.-An investiga-
ton being made here by detectives
1iscloses the fact that Irwin Thinner
man of this city, who committed
suicide in Fort Madison recently, was
driven to self destruction by a letter
which he received day or so before
his death and ito which was signed the
name of Lena JANSEN, his sweetheart
of Burlington. The signature proves
to have been a forgery. Miss Jansen
denies having written or signed the
letter. The letter told Zimmerman
that she did not love him and could
not marry him, and that all was over
between them. Zimmerman had been
hurt in a foot ball game and was suf-
fering at the time from his Injuries.
The receipt of the letter evidently
broke his heart, for an answer was
found in his pocket after he had killed
himself mourning his lost love and
giving assurance of constant affection.
That some one forged the letter. and
sent it to Zimmerman with the inten-
tion Of breaking off the match be-
tween him and Miss Jansen is now
firmly believed by the friends of the
dead young man and OF Miss Jansen.
Detectives are attempting to find the
writer of the forgery, and it is be-
lieved the developments will be of
sensational character. 1t is possible
that the clues now thought to be in
the hands of the authorities will lead
to exposure of we'll known persons
and conviction of forgery.

LABOR LAWS DUE.
Roosevelt Has Already Drafted Portion
Of Message on Subject.

Roosevelt Has Already Drafted Portion
Of Message on Subject.
Washington, Nov. 20.-It has been
decided to make a strong effort to
pass some labor legislation at the COM
ing session of congress. AS a, result
of a series of conferences with tho
more conservative labor leaders, cul-
minating in the so-called labor dinner,
President Roosevelt has practically
drafted the portion Of his message
which, will be devoted to this sub
ject.
He has urged the labor men to get
together on some conservative 7legisla-
tion, and has warned them collectively
and individually, that If they advance
radical ideas the result will be that
congress will refuse to listen to them
altogether, so that legislation which
really should be passed will then have
to go over for another year.
The president will recommend, as he
has done hitherto, a, restriction Of the
right of federal judges to issue injunc-
tions in such a way as to return to the
practice under the old law when re-
straining orders were issued by courts
only after proper notice to defendants,
except in emergency cases.
In all of his speeches on the stump,
Taft went out of his
way to declare that whether the la
Dor men voted for him or against him,
he would urge the passage Of a reform
in injunction practice.

that is that there must and will soon
be one great level of industrial society.
There can't be a class for the rich man
and his children and another class for

was also quoted as indicating that
rich man ought not to give any of his
money to his sons; give some to his
daughters and the rest to philanthropy.
Dolliver had great audience. The 9TH
er Iowa man in st. Louis was Robert
Fullerton, lumber merchant, who in a
public speech denied the existence of
any lumber trust or combine. He was
quoted in the st. Louis papers as ac-
cusing Governor Elect Hadley of fight
ing the lumbermen for the purpose Of
making himself known as a trust-bus-
ter, and Hadley was accused of know
ing before he commenced proceedings
in court that there is no lumber trust.

New York, Nov. 20-An explosion Of
a gas main in an excavation at Gold
and Front streets, Brooklyn, today tore
the street to pieces for rods on either
side. Twelve men who were working
in the excavation for the big sewer
pipe, were buried by debris which fell
in upon them, and it is believed have
been smothered or burned to death
in the fire that followed the explo-
sion.
Samuel Trout lost his life in attempt-
ing to save a woman who was passing
thru Gold street at the time Of the
explosion. Trout fell into the trench
and was roasted alive. The woman
was dragged out Of the trench and
saved by a boy.
Explosion Was Terrific.
Workmen were digging trench thru
Gold street for the installation Of
thirty six-inch sewer pipe. The ex-
cavation was to be nearly forty feet
deep. Where the laborers removed the
earth the walls had been showed up
by large timbers. The men were work.
ing at the bottom of the trench when
an accumulation of gas from main
which had been accidentally broken
during the course of the work, exploded
with tremendous force. The supporting
timbers were ripped away and the high
dirt walls toppled over on the men. A
large water main also was broken by
the force Of the explosion and a per-
feet torrent Of water began to spurt
up thru the mass Of wreckage.
Almost side by side with these gey-
sers roared the flames from gas es-
Gaping from the broken main. Fire
men and workmen worked desperately
together in an effort to check the how
of gas and water, and relieve the men
who had been imprisoned. There
seemed little hope, however, that those
who were at work at the bottom Of
the trench could have escaped death.
Four May Have Escaped.
Four of the men buried in the cave
in are reported to have escaped by
crawling thru the sewer.
So great was the mass Of broken
timbers and mud in the bottom Of the
trench where the gas exploded that
four hours after the explosion the
police and f1re1nen had been unable
to find any other than the one body
which was found in the street. It Is
believed the bodies of nearly twenty
workmen and an unknown woman and
two children were buried in the de-
bris.
