Ny Dear Sir
Your favor Of February -. pur-
porting 10 answer mine of January
90, at hand and desire to call your
attention TO the fact apparent to
any one who will read both letters
that you have not answered any one
of the substantial questions asked by
me. This probably was pure over
sight on your part. You have not
denied the statement Of facts in my
letter and therefore it must be I'M
derstood that you admit the same.
You. of course. could not do other
wise because these facts were taken
from the records.
In your letter you try to befog the
issue by taking UP matters which abb
solute.y have no connection with the
interests of labor or legislation af
fec:'ng it, The personal filings in
your letter deserve no notice They
are unworthy of yourself and the po-
sition you hold as the representative
of a great organization of honest
and fair-minded men. They have all
the earmarks of the reckless partisan
and would be expected only from the
cheapest pettyfogglng politician at
tempting to indame the passions and
prejudices.
You attempt to place me In the
attitude of defy!ng Mr.. Gompers by
quoting from newspaper headlines
referring to my speech in the Repub-
lican convention of 1906. You can
show no statements from me in the
nature Of defiance OF Mr.. Gompers
He wrote me asking my views as to
certain matters Of legislation in
which he and labor were interested
as he did to Senator Ankeny, whom
you support. courteously answered
this letter from Mr.. Gompers frankly
stating my position upon all the
propositions submitted. Did Senator
Ankeny treat him with this cour-
tesy? When the Democratic leaders
in our state proclaimed that they
would defeat me and Mr. Gompers
would come out and help them do it
7 did call attention to the facts. I
stated my position and expressed
my confidence in the fairness of the
members of your organization and
the laboring men of the state. SEN
ator Ankeny was on the platform at
the convention and joined in the ap-
plause Is this the reason you sup
port him now,
Since you have referred to this
matter it may be interesting for you
to know what the principal paper
now supporting the senator thought
of Mr.. Gompers' attempt to dictate
to the people Of our state what they
should do In political matters. In
the issue Of the Seattle Times Of
October Z, 1906. there was a charac-
teristic editorial which know would
be most Interesting to YOU, and from
which quote the following:
Il + we'll enough to say at the
outset that this opposition OF Mr.
Gompers IS based on the fact that
both Congressman Littlefeld and
Jones declined TO advocate some Of
Mr.. Gompers' propositions which he
had farmu ated in behalf Of organ
Ted labor There IS no charge that
Messrs Iitfefeid and JoneS cor
rlp'lv opposed Mr. Gompers' special
efforts before congress. but the sim
ple charge Instead that they dis
agreed with Mr. Gompers in their
conclusions thouehing his various
schemes. Therefore having had the
aaiaeity e disagree with the great
ana mighty Gompees these two con
gressmen must be destroyed, 50 far

READY FOR BALLOON TEST
Competition for FTIEes Offered b.
Government Begins at Fort
Meyer This Week.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-wlth the ar
rival of the dtrigible balloon at Fort Meyer
this week OF Captain Thomas g.. Baldwin
there will be ~inaugurated the first series
OF aeronautical tests held under the patron
age OF the government. When proposals
for bids were advertised by the War de-
partment last January for a dirigible bal
loon inventors who have been endeavor-
ing to solve the problem of aerial naviga
ton were encouraged TO greater effort, as
this was the first recognition by any branch
Of the government Of the Importance OF
aeornautios and the part the airship will
probably play in future wars.
The tests Of both the hea~vior-than-aiT
machines and dingibie balloons during the
next two months will command the atton-
ton Of aeronauts throughout the world
Their Importance, however, will center
principally IN the effect they will nave on
congress. An effort was made by the Wal
department to secure an appropriation last
winter for a~eronautieal purposes, but the
request was not granted and it is hoped by
the signal corps, under whose direction the
tests are. to be made, that the results will
convince congress of the necessity fol
funds to carry on experiments.
The cost of the tests TO be made at For
Meyer VIII be paid from the funds from
the board Of ordnance and fertilization
II Captain Baidwin's balloon fulfills tn,
requirements of the specifications he will
receive Sc, 49,. The trials of the dirigibl,
balloon will hardly excite as much interes
as those Of the heavier than cir type o.
machine, in which the Wright brothers anC
A. NJ. Herring will compete in August.
Captain Baldwin's airship, being bu
ninety feet long and twenty-four feet il
diameter, is very small in comparison witt
those OF Count zepplin and other European
~aeronauts. 1t will only carry two men
For this reason, If 1t fulfills the require
ments to sail five miles out and back t.
the fort at a minimum speed of eighteer
miles an hour it will be only useful to tn,
army for experimental purposes and 70
reconnoitering in time Of war.

HELGELEIN IS POISONED
Chemist Finds strYchnine and Arsenic
in Body of Mrs
Victim,

LAPORTE, Ind, July l5.-Coroner Mack
this afternoon filed his formal report In
the death Of Andrew X. Helgelein Of Aber-
deem, s. D., the last of the known victims
OF Mrs. Belle Guinness and the first OF the
ten bodies exhumed from her private bury
ing ground. DR.. Mack finds that Helgelein,
who was a wealthy ranchman and came
here with 5000, all Of which Mrs, Guinness
is supposed TO have secured before she
killed him, came TO his death from felonious
homicide, the perpetrator thereof being to
the coroner unknown,
Appended to the report, however, is the
statement received today from DR.. Walter
S. Haines of Rush Medical college, Chi
cGSo, giving strychnine poisoning as the
cause of Helgelein's death. In his report
DR.. Haines says;
In Helgelein's stomach / find two poisons
p~resent-arsenic and strychnine. The
amount OF s%trychnine has not been de-
termined. From a third Of the stomach l
extracted less than half of a grain, from
which l concluded that there were one and
a half grains OF the poison In the entire
stomach, a quantity sufficient several times
enough. to have produced death. The
amount of arsenic also was considerable.
Since the fatal effects Of strychnine are
much earlier than those of arsenic as a
rule, l an of the opinion that the mans
death was produced by strychnine.

ing for his removal. charging that he Is
not only incompetent but that he incites
riots. Sunday he was almost mobbed n
was knocked down by member OF the
crowd. Today only the police kept the
crowd off him and his decisions have been
continually criticized.
The Pueblo club made the charges that
he has favored Sioux City Throughout the
series and that his actions lave not only
caused vile language to be used on the
grounds and In the stands, but that he has
also injured the attendance.
SIOUX CITY, Ia, July lS-(SpecIal Tele-
gram. wv. A, Winston, sporting editor OF
the Journal, who is making the western
circuit with the Sioux, t~elegTaphed his
paper that he had Just been released from
Jail st Pueblo, where he was incarcerated
on the charge OF inciting a riot. Tele-
grams from Ducky Holmes, manager OF
the Sioux City club, and Mr.. Burkett, sec
rotary OF the club. explained that Winston S
arrest was an outrage. Since the Sioux
took two games from Pueblo on Sunday
the Pueblo fans and players have been
bitter against Umpire Brennan and the
Sioux. and while Winston and Brennan
were leaving the grounds together Tuesday
the police bounced on Winston, who is a
diminutiVe mild-mannered man. which
makes the formidable affair a big Joke.
