Forty Per Cent of Spfndles Idle

Boston, May May day In New
England, usually day of industrial
disturbance. was this year one of the
most peaceful on record, due in part
to the dull condition of business and
the consequent over supply in the la
Dor market. The only strikes of mag

of the granite industry during March
and April, which involved nearly 10000
men have been adjusted. the strikers
in several places, returning to work
today.
In the textile industry of New Eng
land, about 40 per cent of the machine
ry is idle, which has the effect of keep
ing about loo, 1000 operatives idle or on
short time. The woolen company
which controls 80 plants in New Eng
land, is operating about half of its
machinery, an increase of Is per cent
since January. The Independent mills
are on a similar basis.
In the cotton goods and cotton yarn
mills about 40 per cent of the sDindles
are stopped. The cotton cloth business
continues poor, cotton yarn is in little
demand and the indications point to q
general curtailment during the summer
months.

JEFF DAVIS JOKE.
He Makes a Speech Devoid of en-
temperate Language"

Washington, May LIN the senate
today Senator JEFF Davis (Ark.)
moved to discharge the committee on
the Judiciary from the further con-
preston of trusts, pools and COM
bination in trade" He spoke for
about two hours, reading much of the
time from a typewriter statement
which he said he had prepared in ad-
vance that no Incorporate language
might escape his lips on this occa-
sion," a thing which he said he had
never done before.
During his speech he roundly de-
nounced the trusts. commended the
presidents recent message outlining
measures for relief, spoke of the re-
from the coins, and declared that
John D. Rockefeller, the Standard Oil
company and ]. Pierpont Morgan
should be indicted for treason. He
also paid his respects to the press, his
remarks in that connection being as
follows:
Let scavengers of plutocracy howl;
truth, Gods living truth-where are
its defenders? Miserable travesties
upon noble manhood, post graduates
in all arts of SANDER or defamation,
L challenge the subsidized press, the
people know your designs and spurn
your pretence whether under show Of
argument or more servient hypoc-
risies. Go, damnable imps of pelf
and greed, 1 defy your taunts. Tear
to fragments my political career if it
comport with your execrable will.
Stif1e and distOrt my every utterance.
Not satisfied, If such be your brutal
frenzy, lash my poor form into in
sensibility. Then if it be your fur
ther pleasure gnaw from stiffenfng
bones every vestige of quivering flesh.
Howl in wretched bestiality through
my own innocent blood as 1t drips
from your fendish visages. Drag
then, if you want, what remains into
the filth and the vermin of your foul
denS and burn it upon the altar of
Baal or scatter 1t before the friendly
winds of Heaven to your betters-the
carrion crows of the field. All that
be open further depth of infamy to a
polluted besotten press. These ready
servants of greed, what have they lot
done or attempted to fasten still more
securely an autocracy upon us? 1t
seems to be their special function, not
simply to prevent truth but to
threaten and terrorize public men.
Dare senator align himself with the
people? Why? Yes, men, illustrious
honest voices here and elsewhere
| against the march of plutocracy, to
fall ambushed, politically assassinated
and by whom? By the trusts wearing
masks. All, sir. newspaper masks
But, Mr.. President, insignificant as
| am I, if my political career be
| marked, them sharpen their blade
| for 1 will be here at the appointed
| hour and while here only God can
united labor and the yeomanry
of America

STAMPED IT OUT,
Smallpox in Northwest Confined
to Small Section.
Republic and Sheridan Counties
Had About 100 Cases.

There has been good deal OF talk
about the prevalence OF smallpox In
the northwestern part Of the state,
but the reports Of the state board OF
health for the month OF March, issued
today, indicate that as matter Of fact
the epidemic In that part of the state
is confined to two counties-Republic
and Sheridan. -
Republic reportsf7S cases for March.
which is the largest number in any
county in the state. Sheridan county
reports "a cases, which in view Of the
heavy percentage.
Washington county reports 10 cases,
and it reports one OF the two deaths in
the state resulting from the disease.
Republic and Washington counties are
neighbors. and the disease naturally
communicated from one to the other.
It Is noticeable that several counties
where smallpox prevailed to any great
extent were on the northern tier OF
1t seems as though the disease had been
spread along the line Of the Central
Branch, but how it obtained such q
foothold out in Sheridan county Is
somewhat of a mystery.
Wyandotte county and Kansas City
report rs cases, Sedgwick and Wichita
report 81, Shawnee and Topeka 49,
Atchison county and city report so;
Crawford county q. These figures
show that smallpox was really more
prevalent in other sections Of the state
than in the northwest.
Cloud, Ottawa, Smith, ChautauQua
johnson, Miami and Riley counties
failed to report for March, and they
may be full Of smallpox for all the
state board of health knows about
| them. Sometimes a county health
officer fails to report because he does
not like to admit that there is any con-
tagion in his county. The law provides
| a penalty for such failure. but it has
never been enforced.
| The total cases of cOntagiOn for the
state are reported as follows:

son ten days ago. His wife and chill
dren are the only other guests.
A physician and nurses are in con-
stant attendance and a small staff OF
servants has been retained to look af-
ter the Cleveland family.
Efforts to confirm the Evening
Worlds statement that Mr.. Cleveland
Is suffering from cancer and that his
condition is critical are unavailing, ow-
Ing to the extreme reticence observed
by all connected with the case since
the beginning of the former presidents
illness.
When DR.. Bryan, who has been Mr..
Cleveland's physician for years. was
asked whether it was correct that his
patients illness had ben diagnosticated
as cancer of the stomach, he replied:
Mr.. Cleveland is all right. There is

ceedings had been instituted in which
statements were contained that the
renner1es were making money and
that they could increase the earnings
materially by the expenditure OF
few thousands of dollars. Faust ex-
planned this, in reply, by stating that
the letters were written at the solici-
tat1on OF Tucker himself while the
latter was in Jail. That Faust had
taken compassion on Tucker and out
or sympathy for him had written the
letters though they contained express,
s1ons which were against Faust's best
judgment. Faust stated that Tucker
had written him to make the letters
strong" that he wanted to en-
body the letters in book which he
was going to publish giving the his
tory OF his case and his claims Of per-
secution. The letters also contained
the statement. that it was the belief
of the writer that certain persons
were attempting to wreck the COM
pany and were after Tucker on this
account.
He insisted that the Atchison and
Cherryvale refineries could not be op-
Grated during the months just previous
to the bankruptcy proceedings because
the capacity of the refineries was too
small. their location was not good with
relation to the source of supply and
the markets and because the market
was inadequate for the refined product.
AS an instance he stated that at one
time the two ref1neries, which had a
capacity of $50 barrels per day between
them, were being run to their full ca
pacity and at the end of the Is days the
plants had to shut down because all the
storage capacity Of the distributing
stations had been exhausted and the
storage tanks at the plants were filled.
He claimed that Tucker never asked
him whether the ref1neries were being
at nrOf1f loss S1mnlV asking
as to the character of the refined oil.
whether it was of good quality or not
He stated that Tucker but seldom vis-
tied the plants.
John J. Jones Of Chanute, a former
attorney for Tucker. whom the latter
ruptcy proceedings were commenced.
stated that he had revised and rewrit-
ten and added to the partial minutes
of the meetings Of the directors Of the
Uncle Sam Oil company at the in
stance Of Tucker. He had the pro-
| supposedly to be held, he said. in Ari-
zona, written in the minutes of the
| company, but which, Jones stated, had
never been held. He claimed that
Tucker had told him that Tucker
would get the stockholders together al

false entries. Tucker had explained
