GUESTS ARE TERRIFIED.
Kentucky Night Riders Take Posses
sion of Hotel.

Dawson Springs, Ky, Jan. PA
band of fifty masked night riders took
possession of the Arcadia hotel here
and after terrifying the guests by
shooting up" the place took John
Heath, an independent tobacco buyer,
who was a guest, to a river near by
and upon threats of "ducking" made
him promise not to sell any more
tobacco
The riders first tried to force the
night clerk to show them to Mr.
Heath's room, but this he declined to
do. The men then scattered to all
parts of the hotel, shooting as they
went. The guests, terrified by the
shooting, rushed from their rooms into
the halls only to be frightened back
Mr. Heath was recognized by the
night riders as soon as he appeared
He was quickly seized and, although
dressed only in his nightshirt, was put
on a horse, and taken to the river
about a mile away, where, after
threats of being whipped and thrown
into the river, he was forced to prom
ise that he would not sell any more
tobacco He finally found his way
back to the hotel and the masked
riders disappeared.

G0MPERS ON INJUNCTION.
Tells Why He Will Not Comply With
All Its Terms.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Although en-
Joined from making any reference to
the controversy between the American
Federation of Labor and the Buck
Stove and Range company President
Samuel Gompers, in an editorial in the
current issue Of the American Fedora
zionist, comments on Justice Gould's
recent decision at great length and de-
clares a purpose not to comply with
all its terms.
'It is an invasion of the liberty of
the press and the right of free
speech" declared Mr.. Gompers. I'VE
would be recreant to our duty did we
not do all in our power to point out to
the people the serious invasion OF
their liberties which has taken place. ."
Mr.. Gompers states that the serv-
ices of some of the foremost lawyers
in the country have been secured and
that the case will be carried to the
United States supreme court.
The action against the Federation
of Labor and its officials was brought
in the supreme court of the District
of Columbia on the ground that the
publication of the stove company in
the I'VE Don't Patronize" list in the
American Federationist was in the
nature of a boycott.

FELT FOR MILES
Five Hundred Pounds of Dynamite
Blow Up at Hooking, la.

Des Moines, Jan. 27.-Five hundred
pounds Of dynamite in a box car at
the mining town of Hooking, two
miles from Abba, exploded during a
fire which started in the company's
store and five men were injured and
100000 worth of property destroyed.
The shock of the explosion was felt
for five miles around and at Abba,
two miles distant, windows were
broken.
The fire started from an unknown
cause in the company store of the
Hooking Supply company, a frame
building containing a stock worth
$4,000. On a sidetrack near by was
string of box cars, one of which
contained 500 pounds of dynamite
The flames jumped to the cars and
when the dynamite was reached it
exploded.
Miners fought the flames, even
when they knew the dynamite was in
the car next to the fire and that it
was likely TO explode at any time.

AWAITING AMERICAN REPLY
Jap Foreign Minister Postpones State
:7leRt in Diet.

Toxic, Jan. 27.-The programme for
the days session of the diet, includ-
ing the speech of Foreign Minister
Niscount Hayashi regarding the emf
grafton question, has been suddenly
changed and the speech was post
poned until Jan. 30 when it is expect
ed that Viscount Hayashi will outline
definitely the plans of the government
for the restriction of emigration to
America and Canada. 1t is understood
that the postponement was due TO the
fact that a reply from the American
government to the last memorandum
from Japan was expected to be handed
to the foreign office shortly.
Since the delivery of its last mem
orandum the Japanese government has
issued the most stringent instructions
to all governors and other officials
concerning the regulation of future
emigration along the lines of the fu-
ture definite policy Of restriction,
which includes the prevention of emf
grafton OF labCrers to America and
Canada except under given conditions
which will be satisfactory to the gov
ernments OF both of those countries
No laborers viii be permitted to emf
CRATE TO Mexico
Evidence of the determination of the
Japanese government is shown by an
official order issued to emigration
companies, wherein all emigration to
the Hawaiian islands is absolutely
prohibited except in tho case of rela-
tives of Japanese already residing

JAIL TERMS OMITTED.
Freight Broker and His Clerk Fined

Kansas City, Jan. 27.-George l..
Thomas, freight broker Of New York
city, and L. B. Taggart, his clerk,

district court here to the charge of
conspiring to pay rebates to shippers.

court and after sentence was passed
checks covering the fines were ten
dered and accepted by the judge.
Thus ends the case against these
men. The Jail sentence, which was
omitted, was the first sentence of i'm
prisonment ever passed for rebating.
Thomas and Taggart were tried and
convicted a year ago and were given
Jail sentences in addition TO fines. An
appeal was taken and a new trial
granted on a technicality. When the
second trial of the case was called the
defendants pleaded guilty and Judge
Mcpherson in passing sentence i'm
posed the fines mentioned and omit.
ted the jail sentences, saying he was
convinced the men were only the
''cat's paws" of the railroads.
Judge Mcpherson took occasion to
say that he believed the firms that
accepted the rebates were as guilty
as the defendants and the railroads
and that he had never been able to
understand why they had not been in
dicted by the grand jury. He would
have liked, he said, to have had the
members OF these firms before him
with power to pass sentence upon
them. "The railroads" declared Judge
Mcpherson, "are bounded to death
with rebate seekers. They are not
entirely to blame for all the rebating
that has been done"

NJ. Delcasse, in his speech, prac-

a portion of the French press is of

prises, but a majority of the newspa-

ROOSEVELT TO BLAME
Union Pacific Official Discusses
Reduction Of Forces.
SEES DULL TIMES AHEAD

Declares "Retrenchment and Economy
Will Be Necessary Just as Long as
the Administration Keeps Up It's
Reform Activity"
Omaha, Jan. 27-The reduction of
working hours of Union Pacific shop
men is to be followed with a reduc-
tion of working days from six to five
a week. At the headquarters of the
Union Pacific it is stated that Omaha
will not be the only place affected and
that there soon will be a general re-
duction of the mechanical force of the
road along its entire length. This re-
duction probably will affect several
thousand men, either by reduction of
working hours or final dismissal.
The World-Herald quotes Vice Pres
fdent Mohler as charging the reduc-
tion to president Roosevelt's mania
for reform" and indicating that his
company would work with a reduced
force so long as the presidents activ.
ity against corporations continues.
You may say that the Union Pacific
is only cutting down because 1t has
to-" he said, and not because it is any
pleasure to the company to throw
thousands of men out of work. The
public will be in no way affected by
the reduction in force and all the com.
forts to travel will be preserved just
as before.
at is this Roosevelt prosperity that
makes this step necessary and it dis
gusts me to think that his mania for
reform should make the working class
thus suffer. This retrenchment and
economy will be necessary just as long
as this administration keeps up it's
reform activity and so | am unable
to say how long it will be before the
old working time and the rest of the
working force will be refnstated."

EXCHANGE OF IDEAS
Democratic Senators Confer on
Financial Legislation.
WIDE DIVERGENCE or VIEWS
Several Members Are Authors of Bills
of Their Own and They Spoke at
Length in Support of Their Meas
ures--No Action Decided On.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The Demo-
cratic senators held a conference for
the purpose of trying to agree upon a
policy to be pursued with reference
to the proposed financial legislation.
Speeches were made by almost all
the senators present and developed a
wide divergence of opinion on the
questions at issue. Several of them,
including Senators Bailey, McLaurin
and owen, are the authors of bills and
each of them spoke at length in sup
port of his own measure.
Senator McLaurin's bill authorizes
the issuance of treasury notes on the
deposit of cotton warehouse receipts
and was outlined at length by that
senator, who urged its adoption be-
cause OF the standard character of
cotton as commodity and because of
the necessity for ready money in NOV.
Ing the cotton crop He contended
that the cotton producer is more en-
titled to the favor of the government
than spectators who hold stocks and
bonds.
Mr.. owen brought his several bills.
authorizing the use of government
bonds as legal tender, limiting specu-
latiNe loans by banks and regulating
deposits in banks, to the attention of
the conference and urged their ac-
ceptance as providing a complete sys-
tenn for the protection of the public
and conservative bankers. Reassur
ance was given to certain of the SEN
ators at the beginning of the confer
ence that
No Vote Should Be Taken
and that there should be no action
of any kind that would be binding on
senators when 1t came to the consid-
GRAFTON of financial legislation in the
senate. Senator Culberson, the chair
man, said he had called the confer
ence merely for the purpose of effect
ing an interchange of ideas in regard
to currency matters. The report that
he was not satisfied with any partic-
uit1A ny Ill6
Gratis or any one else was entirely
erroneous. He said he had not even
read over Mr.. Bailey's plan for an
amendment to the Aldrich bill.
1t is understood that most of the
minority members of the committee
on finance who attended the confer
ence deprecated the tendency of GER
tain Democrats to demand extreme
legislation in currency matters at this
session Of congress, when it is plainly
SO improbable that any such legisla-
ton can be brought to a successful
issue. They maintained that, mas
much as the Aldrich bill is scheduled
to pass, 1t is the duty of the Demo
Gratis to see that 1T is put in as ac.
ceptable shape as possible; that while
