MITCHELL DENIAL
Repudiates Campaign Circu-

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 21.-John
Mitchell. former president of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America has re-
pudiated as unauthorized certain cam
paign circulars sent out purporting to
give his political views.
The circulars to which Mr.. Mitchell
objects contained alleged likenesses
Of the labor leader, accompanied by
political opinions attributed to him.
Apparently the documents were sent
to the secretaries of most If not all Of
the miners local unions. Mr.. Mitchell
is hurt to think any one would believe
him so lacking in modesty as to send
his picture abroad, regardless of what
he may think of politics.
I'm order to remove any misunder-
standing that may exist" says Mr..
Mitchell in a statement issued to the
public, 81 wish to inform our members

FEDERATION FIGHTS
illinois Labor Men Do Battle
Over Proposed Po|iti-
cal Stand
CANNON THE MAIN TARGET.

Peoria, ILL.,, Oct. 21.-The question of
indorsing political candidates, national
and state, involves the delegates to the
Illinois State Federation of Labor con-
vention, which is now in session in a
lively wrangle.
The Republicans in the convention
are anxious to have the body take
neutral attitude, particularly as to the
national campaign, while adherents of
President Gompers' political policy are
working for the Endorsement of the
American Federation of Labor pro-
gram. Both sides are keeping close
watch on each others moves.
Almost before the convention got
down to actual business a resolution
was presented and sent to the resolu-
lions committee denouncing in the
strongest terms Speaker Joseph G.
Cannon and his congressional record.
Eager to Get at Cannon.
Some of the delegates demanded
that immediate action be taken on an
anti Cannon resolution, declaring such
an important matter ought to be dis
posed of at once, but President Edwin
R. Wright ruled that all resolutions
must first be considered in committee
and then reported for action. A large
number of purely labor resolutions also
were presented and sent to committee.

VORYS is REVENGEFUL.

Chicago, Oct. 21-Following the
revelations of republican disorganiza-
ton in Ohio, the national committee
took action which virtually removes
Arthur I. Vorys from the direction of
the Taft campaign in that state.
National Chairman Hitchcock will
take personal charge of the Ohio field
and the committee will pour into the
state all the strong speakers at its
command In an effort to insure repub-
lican success.
Mr. Taft will speak in Cleveland at
noon on Nov. 2 and in the evening at
Youngstown. Other speakers who
have been assigned to stump the state
in the closing days of the campaign
are:
Senator Robert M. La Toilette.
Postmaster General George Won L..

Secretary of the Interior James R.

Secretary of Commerce Oscar

Senator Jonathan P. Dolliver.

Ohio has constituted a subject prin.

he should run the campaign in that
state to suit himself without the in
tervention of the national committee
This was the consolation prize he re
ceived for his disappointment in not
being made chairman of the national
committee.

FRIENDS MADE TOOLS
Morse Forced Oler to Enter
Deal Against His
Wishes
BIG PROFIT FOR "DUMMY''

New York, Oct 21.-At the trial of
C. W. Morse and President Curtis of
the National bank of North America
evidence was given showing Morse's
manipulation of the market when he
attempted to force ice up to 10, fig
ure At never came anywhere near
reaching.
Another development was the revel-
alton of how he had made a profit of
$4,000 for the president of his AM
erican Ice company Wesley Oler, who
was getting salary of $4,000 a year
and had he had carried" him-with
the aid of the bank of North America
Ito the extent of a loan of S141 900.
The deal was for the purchase of ice
stock at II, even when Mr.. Oler didn't
want to buy and didn't want to bor-
row, when he was already indebted to
another Morse bank, the New Am
sterdam.
How Deal Was Made.
Oilers $4,000 profit was made when
he asked Morse for loan of s43.5 500
on 1000 shares of ice. Morse took
Oilers note and the cash was advanc-
ed by the Bank of North America.
The stock was sold out at a profit,
which was credited to Oler on another
debt he owed the bank.
Later Morse told Oler the bank had
1000 shares of ice and urged him to
buy 1t at II. telling him it was sure
to so IN, Oler said he didn't want any
more s ok, as he was in debt to the
bank. He said he was nearly out oil
debt and was anxious to get all the
way out, but Morse induced him to
take it, giving his note for Sal 900
Then when ice had been put up by
Morse to 90 Oler wanted to sell, but
Morse would not let him and said tc
hold the stock until 1t was 10.
Did Not Know Stocks Owner.
Oler, on cross examination, said he
didn't know whether the 1000 shares
of ice were owned by Morse or by the
Bank of North America.
Bank Examiner Edward P. Moxe,
told of the purchases and sales
through various brokerage houses oil
Morse's account of ice stock. Ths
monthly totals showed Morse bough
more than he sold. In March Morse:

Distinguishst Ceclceist ard Mineral

Might End All.
Two great forces affecting the
surface of the continents are denuda-
ton and eartn movements, either Sc
CUR upheaval, earth folding, or
volcanic outpouring. All our posi-
tive knowledge is that the earth is
cooling. AS it cools, the crust har-
dens and thickens, and it may be
that, when the crust becomes thick
enough to prevent further cracking
and mountains folding, and water
no longer percolate through to the
heated interior, there will be no up
heayal, no folding of the earth's sur
face to counteract the denudation
constantly going on over the surface.
To produce an upheaval there
must be heat and water. And if wat
er cannot sink through the earth's
crust to reach the interior Of the
earth, then this volcanic action will
not take place.
This being so, the land surface OF
the earth will gradually wear away,
and be smoothed down, until it is
a more or less fat plain on level
with the sea. The sea would then
slowly cover up the land, which
might sink to the depth of hun
c,od feet or so below the level of
the water. leaving only few isolat-
ed mountain tops showingabove wat
