report now shows 11S new cases of

The superintendent report shows
that there are eighty-siX cases of scar
let fever in the schools, and the dis
crepancy in the records shows perhaps
why the disease had spread so alarm

HAYWOOD REJOICEs.
More Complete Vindication Than
His Own Trial.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 4-Wllliam ID.
Haywood, secretary of the Western
Federation of Miners, who is on six
months leave of absence from his Of
fetal position, arrived in Denver to-
night from the northwest. When shown
the Associated Press dispatch in ref
erence to the acquittal of George A.
PettibOne at Boise, he said:
Il feel like 1 had been acquitted
again This is a more complete Yindi-
cation than the previous trial. There
was no evidence introduced or argu-
ment made by the defense, and the
prosecution was cognizant of every
thing we had, and it had months to
strengthen its case.
1T affirms what has always been con-
tended by the federation, that there was
a conspiracy afoot engaged in by the
Mine Owners association to convict us
and thereby weaken organized labor in
the west.
Il am equally jubilant at Pettibone 8
acquittal as my own and. notwithstand-
ing the reiterated statement by Gov
ernor Gooding, it is now safe to pre-
sumo that Wen all leave Idaho alive.
Mr. Haywood said Pettibone would
probably go to the coast for his health
The action of the state in dismissing
the case against Meyer, he said, was
lust what he had expected.

Especial 10 The Herald.D

Boise. Ida, Jan. 4.-Surveyor General
f. G.. Eagleson has received a request
for his resignation as the result of the
report made against him some weeks
ago by Inspector Goodwin. 1t is init
mated that Chief Clerk John D. Bell
Chief Draughtsman Axel Nixon and
Assistant Draughtsman Henry Nieber-
ding will be dismissed by the depart
nrent. Mr.. Eagleson charges those men
with having cOnspired to make trouble
for him. There has been much confu-
sion in the office growing out of this
state of affairs, and IL looks rs though
the department had determined to have
a new deal all around.

BOMB PLACED IN
BANK BASEMENT
Explosion in Marble Building of
First National of Kansas City
During Rush Hours.
TEN PERSONS BADLY HURT
MOTIVE FOR DAsTARDLY CRIME
UNKNOWN.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. A consen-
sus of expert opinion tonight is that
the explosion in the beautiful building
of the First National bank here this af-
ternoon was caused by dynamite or
some other high explosive. A piece OF
pipe, believed TO have been part of a
bomb, was found late today in the
wrecked basement.
A motive is lacking, but the bank Of
ficials and the police incline to the be-
lief that the explosion was either the
work of a crank, or that a bomb had
been secreted in the basement by
would-be robbers for future use, and
had been touched off prematurely.
No arrests have been made, and the
police are without any definite clue
upon which TO work Joseph Pech, a
Hungarian carpenter of this city, one
of the ten injured. was taken to the po-
lice station this evening and ques-
toned by the police. No charge was
preferred against the man. He salts
fed the police that he had no connec-
ton with the affair and was soon re-
leased. Pech said he was passing the
building and was cut by flying glass.
The loss is placed at $4,000, confined
almost entirely to the basement.
LiSt OF tnJuTcus
None of the ten injured is fatally
hurt, and the injuries of only two are
considered serious. The list follows.
Ebert Ward, negro porter, cut,
bruised; serious.
Logan Wilson, bank clerk. blown
across basement room; cut; serious.
George W. Evans, member of the
wholesale drug firm of Smith & Evans,
cut by flying missiles while walking on

FEW PERSONS PRESENT.
News Received at Federation Head
quarters in Denver.

Denver, Jan. 4.-There were but few
persons i'm the office of the Western
Federation of Miners in this city today
when news of Pettibones acquittal was
received and no demonstration, save
expressions of satisfaction, was made.
Ernest Mills, acting secretary, is the
only officer of the federation in the
city.
1--WE have been confident that Petit
bone would be found not guilty" said
Mr.. Mills. There was not a particle
of evidence to connect him either with
a conspiracy to kill Gov. Steunenberg
or with a general conspiracy against
fine foes of the miners unions. We feel
certain that this will end the conspiracy
cases in Idaho and that Charles H.
Meyer, president of the federation, will
never be brought to trial. Now we
shall see what will be done with Harry
Orchard. on whose unsupported word
the cases against Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone rested"

is the intention to make its contents
public at the White house. IL is said
that this letter will set forth the situa-
ton as reported by the commission.
Goldfeld. New, Jan. At is believed

within ten days or two weeks every
mine in the district will be in full blast
Several mines started up this morn

Among the mines were the Mohawk
property, the Combination Fraction and

new scale, which reduced wages 20 per
cent.
Statement of Mine Owners.
General Manager Mackenzie of the
Goldfield Consolidated today said:
Conditions today are more promising
than at any time since the strike be-
gan. The Mine Owners association has
not wavered one iota from its original
program of reducing wages and fore

Every member of the federation has
to sign a card renouncing allegiance to
that union, and the mine owners will

of breaking up the federation in Cold
field and Nevada"
New Union Formed.
The most hopeful sign of an early set
tlement is the formation of a new union
among the miners, which is to become a
state affair, independent of the Western
Federation.
The preamble and constitution of the
new union was finished today and al
most Immediately enough signatures
were received to give the new organiza-
ton a foothold with the encouragement
given the movement by the mine own
ers.
The Western Federation leaders are
said to be much disturbed over the turn
affairs have taken.

OTHER BANKERS
Do SAME Thing
John R. Walsh Not the Only
Man Who Grabbed Funds
Under His Control.
LAW VIOLATED EVERY DAY
COMPTROLLER LOOKS ON, BUT
DOES NOT INTERFERE.

Chicago. Jan, 4.-That certain sec
lions OF the national banking laws are
dead letters so far as banking practice
is concerned and that these violations
meet with only formal criticism from
the comptroller Of the currency, was
the testimony today of George NJ. Coffin
of New York, former deputy comptrol-
Ter Of the currency, in the trial of John
r. Walsh on charges of misapplying the
FUNDS of the defunct Chicago National
bank. Coffin was asked by Attorney
John 5. Miller for the defense If IL was
a prevailing practice of national banks
10 make accommodation and memoran-
dun notes and loans in excess of the
limit provided by the banking laws.
Not Relevant, but Allowed.
Before the witness could answer, an
objection by the attorneys for the gov
eminent brought out long argument,
during which Judge Anderson declared
that the testimony was neither mate
rial competent nor relevant, so far as
Walsh's intent i'm similar transactions
was concerned, but he allowed il TO be
given in order that the defense might
lay a foundation for an attempt to
prove that such practices are general
all over the country.
The question was then repeated, and
Mr. Coffin answered in the affirmative.
Then the examination bToadened.
Were such cases as this one i'm which
Mr. Walsh is involved frequently re-
ported to the comptroller by the bank
examiners"
Yes. sir"
No Special Criticism.
Were they criticised by the comp
troller?"
mo. there was no special criticism"
What took place in the comptroller's
office"
THE reports were gone over and
printed letters. calling the attention
of the banks to the statutes were sent
to the banks"
Did the practice OF making Excess
sive loans prevail?'
Yes. There were always about one
third of the banks making such loans.
This prevailed in a reserve district and
i'm about thirty cities of the country,
including New York and Chicago"
Replies Not Necessary.
Mr. Coffin then testified that the
printed letters sent to the banks were
formal and perfunctory, signed with
autograph stamps and containing di-
rectiOns regarding the reduction of ex-
cessive loans. These letters were not
followed up, and replies even were not
necessary. The witness asserted that
all loans from banks by their officers,
excessive. or within the limit provided
by law, are generally considered mat
ters of Judgment. Memorandum notes
are customary, he asserted, in all banks
with which he is familiar.

Work Resumed.

The Mohawk, Combination Fraction and
a lease on the Atlanta resumed work this
morning. There are now fully 500 nom
union men working in the camp, and two
thirds of them are former employees. The
operators believe that within a few days
enough men will have deserted the fast
sinking fedora ton ship TO operate all the
mines that wish to start up. While they
will recognize the new union. the dis
trict will remain an open camp.
During the week ending last night. $50
tons of ore were shipped, of which the
Little Florence sent out IA tons from the
bins, valued at s21O per ton. The Flor
ence Annex shipped seventy-eight tons
from the second-class dump, worth $50
per ton.
Two masked men entered the cabin of
J. T. Conway. a mining man. at sos Val
Ieyview street, last night, and at the
point of guns relieved him of purse con-
tanning seventeen $40 gold pieces. They
emptied the contents of the purse on the
table and left several silver pieces which
il contained, disdaining anything but
gold.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF MCLEAN COUNT,
AND vILLAGEO OF WASHBURN
FRIDAY MARCH q, 1908.

How many times recently have
the members Of the Merchants
Hotel coterie who plan the politics
of the state satisfied themselves
that they have got things fixed so
as to carry the Minot convention,
and thus give Mckenzie a new
lease of power? They've even
gone so far as to declare that the
primary law shall be repealed.
They never made a greater bunch
of mistakes in their lives. They
cannot control the Minot conven-
ton nor can they get rid of the
primary law. That law was passed
to circumvent the Merchants Ho-
tel schemers.
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1908-03-27

The farmer, who is compelled to
yield to the exactiors Of organized
systems, should study the candi-
dates for the United States senate
With Marshall grown opulent
loaning money to the farmer and
holding large investments in line
elevators, he has come to know the
needs of the farmers in a way that
must surely appeal to them. With
Little owning banks, lumber and
coal yards and being a friend Of
the harvester trust, how could the
farmer get along without him?
johnson is a farmer and has more
land than he can look after. Why
therefore should he be asked to go
to Washington to look after the
interests of the farmers? Besides,
he thinks wheat can be produced
for 30 cents per bushel, and this
will keep him busy enough. Hans
brough long since gave up bust
ness Of every kind to devote him
self to his public duties. Self
interest will not sway him, and he
will do exact justice by all. 1t is
this fact that makes him a valua-
bic representative of the states
great variety Of interests. It is
this fact also that makes him unac-
ceptable to the monopolies and
trusts. Their idea Of a senator is
that he should belong to them.
This is why they favor Little.
