.Heneman Saws:

This is the time of year when everybody has
more or less cash and all want to buy goods
as cheap they can be bought in order to
make the money go far as possible
We have decided from OCTOBER LIST and
until further notice we will do strictly cash
business so that make you the lowest
and cheapest prices ON all goods we handle
The merchant who sells for cash only is
enabled to buy cheaper articles and take ad
vantage Of all the discounts, consequently can
make lower and better prices.
We will mark ali our goods in plain
figures with the nett cash price-so do not
ask for credit after October lst-and
after giving it fair trial you will see the
money you by it and you will agree
with US in saying that it is the only right
way to do business.

nesses Examined
IBy Associated Press.l

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 20.-W. T.
Kerr, superintendent of the Pacific
Furniture & Lumber company. indicted
with the rest of the defendants now on
trial in the so-called Los Angeles cases
and who pleaded guilty when the case
came to trial, was the principal wit
ness today.
Kerr it is alleged got a number OF
citizens of Port Oxford to take up tim
ber claims for the company and handled
the finances and paid the filing fees
Kerr endeavored to explain his actions
by saying that he was ignorant of the
law.
Kerr admitted on cross examination
that $400 of the money that went to
pay the entrymen was borrowed on his
own personal note, a note which he
said he signed "unconsciously."
A number of other witnesses who
had taken up timber claims testified
that they had no personal acquaint-
ance with the defendants, Hedderly
Myers or Hynes, and that they did
their business through Kerr.
Another witness who told of his deal
ings with the company was A. j.
Marsh, eX-county commissioner al
Port Orford.
Marsh said he had been approached
by Kerr one night at his home. Kerr
he said, told him he could make some
money by taking up a claim. He swore
that Kerr, when Marsh said that he
had no money, told him he would fur
nish him with the necessary finances
if he would take up claim and sell il
to the company.
S. e. Stephens, ex-sheriff, was one
of the entrymen who testified. He ad-
mitted that he had perjured himself
when it came to filing final proofs in
telling where he received the money.

sympathizers Only by Cor
respondence

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 20. - John
Mitchell former president of the
United Mine Workers of America, TO-
day furnished the following statement
to the Associated Press:
During the past few DAYS haVe
received numerous inquiries from sec
retarjes of our local unions in reference
TO a. poster containing an enlarged like
ness of myself below which is printed
what purports to be an interview with
me bearing on the present political Sit
uation.
"Some of these letters are written in
a spirit of criticism, While others are
commendatory, and request that addl-
tional posters be mailed for dlstrlpu-
tion.
"In order to remove any misunder-
standing thu may exist, l take this
means of informing our members that
I have not mailed or authorized any
one else to mail to any member or or
f1cer Of our union, or to any one else,
any poster containing my likeness, or
giving expression to my political
views, except so far as these views
ARE expressed in the official circulars
authorized by the executive council of
the American Federation of Labor.
"As l understand the policy of the
American labor movement and the ac-
tion of the United Mine Workers OF
America, it is that the organizations of
labor are not committed to any po-
litical party; the workingmen of Amer
lea are endeavoring, so far as lies in
their power, and without regard to
political annlations, to elect to public
office bona fide members of trade
unions, or other candidates who are
known to be in sympathy with the po-
.litical and industrial reforms necessary
to the protection and preservation of
the interests of the wage earners.
ITO this and ! have written letters
of recommendation and will write 9TH
ers urging our fellow workers to sup
port trade unionists and friends of the
trade union movement who have been
nominated for official positions

ing a discussion, led by Mrs. Florence

good people to support him." said Mrs.
Porter.

made vice and crime concomitant
part Of modern life they should be made
to live in the midst of their product.

"If Chairman Teller is really in the
financial slough of despond that his
letter alleges he is not likely to survive
some of the replies which Democratic
notaries are preparing to fire at him
If he will consent to print them," says
one notary, "he can move UP ahead OF
Governor Gillett as a helper for Demo
cratic success"
A number of notaries are indignant
at receipt of the letter. They regard
Teller's appeal as yelled threat sent
out to Office holders, and resent being
catalogued in that fashion. Others re-
gard it as an admission that the cor
porations,. conceding Bryan's election
regard it useless to come to the rescue
of a sinking ship.

ing their turns, and Mr.. Catudal rested.
Claims Not Filed
The next questioner represented Mrs.
Kate L. Dodworth, whose claims
amount to $1,23939, but the referee dis
covered that her claims had not been
filed, and he. decided to. defer further
examination until all claimants had
had an opportunity to file with the
trustee.
Fred Dorr did not make his expected
proposition for settlement, and IL was
thought by creditors present that he
had determined to ascertain the temper
of his creditors before submitting any
plan for compromise. Whether or no
he will do this at the meeting next
Tuesday could not be learned, although
he admitted that he had proposition
to make.
''It looks as though they were trying
to find out things on which to base
further criminal proceedings" said one
creditor

present, or were represented by attor-
neys, and others are expected to reach

Trenton, and widely known lawyers,
out of their hotels at that place and
murdered the latter, fails to report the
finding of Col. Taylor's body or any
trace of his whereabouts, although the
latter is believed dead.
A man named Powell, who hauls fish
from The Log to Hickman, is said TO
have been forced to accompany the
mob, which numbered about eighty
members.
Powell had been staying at the hotel,
and when the riders called everyone out
and compelled them to line up, Powell,
Col. TAYLOR, Capt. Rankin and the sur
vivor. whose name is not yet known,
are said to have been taken away, the
others being permitted to return to
their beds.
Powell states, it is said, that after
killing Rankin a vote was taken re-
garding the disposition to be made OF
During the dispute Taylor made a
dash and jumped into the bayou, start
ing to swim across it. A number or
shots were fired at him, and in the
confusion Powell slipped away and

HASKELL'S SUIT AGAINST
HEARST DECLARED INVALID
Lawyers Claim Governors Demand
for Damages Is Punitive-Affda-
Wits Also Essential is State
ment by Attorneys

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 2O.-The 100000
libel suit which Governor Haskell of
Oklahoma filed in this city last week
against William r. Hearst is pro-
nounced invalid by prominent attorneys
who have examined the petition.
1t is pointed out that the laws of Ne
braska allow no punitive damages in a
libel suit, and 100000 of the amount
asked in the present case is punitive.
1t also is pointed out that the peti-
ton is not accompanied either by an
affidavit of Governor Haskell or of his
attorneys, as is required by the laws
of this state.
Under the Nebraska statutes the suit,
it is stated, has no standing in court
until so accompanied.
