THE NEW ERA
Undraped Babies.

In Philadelphia, more than half
century ago, few casts from the an
tique created something very like
public scandal: and when. at an earlier
period Greenough's Chatting Cherubs,
the first group by an American sculp-
tor was exhibited, storm OF condem-
nation enveloped the undraped fig
ures nude babies were familiar in
American homes but their appearance
in public shocked the moral sense OF
the whole community. This, remarks
Hamilton Nadia In Atlantic Monthly.
was In New York, where. still earlier,
gentlemen who lived by piracy had
been influential members of society.
The symbolism OF Powers Greek
Slave and the passionate sympathy
with the Greek struggle for freedom
diverted attention from the nudity OF
the figure to the pathos 1t expressed;
but it was thought necessary, in the In
terests of public morals. that the fair
captive should be examined by COM
mittee of experts. Accordingly group
OF clergymen in Cincinnati sat as
jury and. after critical examination
of the figure. issued n kind Of license
for purposes Of public exhibition. The
humor of submitting the statue to the
inspection of committee of clergy
men does not seem to have occurred
to any save few Americans who had

Bank President Arrested.

Durango.-Charles E. Mcconnell.
president of the Smelter City State
bank, which closed its doors week
ago last Monday, was arrested late
wednesday afternoon on a warrant
sworn out by Harry Jackson, charging
him with receiving deposits when he
knew the bank to be insolvent.
Mr.. Mcconnell gives out the state
ment that he has mining interests and.
property which he will turn In soon
so that he can liquidate the debts of
the bank.
1t is said that the books which Re
ce1ver Rowe Pingree has been going
over for the last week will show that
no regular meeting of the stockholders
or directors of the bank has been held

SUIT.

Goldfield, Nev.-To carry the fight
into the Federal Court will be the
next move of the Goldfield Mine own
ers' Association A suit will be filed
in the Circuit Court of the district OF
Nevada, asking not only for an injunc-
ton against picketing and interference
but for the final dissolution of the
Goldfield Miners union
The suit Is to be filed by the Cold
field Consolidated Mines Company
against the Goldfeld miners, the West
ern Federation of Miners, Charles A.
McKinnon, president of the local
union, and nineteen others officers OF
the same. The complaint sets forth
the alleged vast extent and richness
OF the mining interests involved and
the large number of persons holding
shares in the mines in various states
and territories: alleges that the Gold
field Miners union and the Western
Federation OF Miners are voluntarily
unincorporated associations, and that
it is claimed to be a part of another
large organization known as the In
dustrial Workers of the World, also
unincorporated, which has the same
principles and seeks to accomplish its
results by the same unlawful methods,
and has in its ranks as members OF
these associations. not only the min.
ers Of the Goldfield district, but other
laborers, such as walters, clerks,
cooks, BARRIERS and barkeepers.
1t is further alleged that the West
ern Federation of Miners is organ
lied for the destruction of property
and creating endless strife, disorder
bloodshed and rioting." The Goldfield

der OF innocent citizens. lawlessness
and anarchy to such an extent that it
has instituted reign of terror in the
Goldfield district" 1t is further al
legged that the Goldfield union is a
criminal society,""
The court is asked to cite the de-
PENDANTS before it to answer the al
legations of the complaint and to is
sue writ of Injunction restraining
the defendants from obstructing the
business of the Consolidated Mines
Company by threat. intimidation or
picketing. An injunction against boy
colt is further asked for. The court
is asked to enjoin the Goldaeld union
from holding any more meetings.
Watchers or examiners are asked
for. with fall authority to enter or
the property of the complainant and
to carry out the orders of the court
and to arrest any person VIOLATING
them. Finally. it is petitioned that
the injunctions be made permanent
and that the Goldfeld Miners unio II
be abated and forever dissolved as C.
nuisance and perpetually enjoine
from any further meetings or action
Of whatever kind or nature. The
complaint is signed by George Wing
field. vice president of the Consoli-
dated Mines Company.
One effect Of the filing of this It is
said. may be to induce President
Roosevelt to order portion of the
troops now in Goldfield to remain on
the ground to assist in the enforce

Court If necessary

Port Of Spain, Trinidad.-The re.
gatta was the big event of the day on
Christmas. 1t was participated in by
crews from many of the ships and a
number of exciting finishes kept the
men and officers keyed up to high
pitch of enthusiasm.
A large number of officers spent the
day ashore sightseeing and snap
shooting the interesting scenes OF trop-
ical life to be found here. Great
squads of of liberty men landed from
the fleet this afternoon and 1t was esti-
mated that at one time there were be.
tween 5000 and 1000 American blue.
jackets on shore. The behavior of
the sailors has been excellent and they
seem to be thoroughly enjoying their
stay here.

rransformatIon in Lumber Indu.tr,

transformation in Lumber INDUSTRY.
A few American citizens are still
living who were alive in the days when
the Indiana and Ohio pioneers were
cutting great clear-grained black wal
nut, white oak and hickory logs, piling
them and burning them to ashes In
order to be rid of them. Farmhouses
are still standing in the Ohio valley
whose tenoned frames are Of black
walnut, and whose roof boards are OF
wide. clear lumber such as is now
sought for to be made into kings table
tops. Black walnut lumber in Ameri.
can commerce is to-day little more
than memory, says Milton o. Nelson
in the American Review of Reviews;
white oak in the finer finishing grades
IS worth half the price of mahogany,
and the American vehicle industry Is
in distress for the lack of hickory.
Even in sawmiil cities OF the present
day the lath from the walls of wrecked
houses Is carefully cleaned and bun
died for resale, while half-decayed pine
logs are sawed into merchantable lum
Der. Thus In the span Of one life the
American lumber industry has passed
from surfeit to hunger. Such another
span promises to carry us from hunger
to starvation.

OLD PEOPLE MURDERED.
Fearful Crime Committed On Ranch
Near Lamar.

Denver-A Republican special from
Lama, Colorado, Thursday, says:
One of the most fiendish crimes in
the history of this part of the state
which must have occurred some time
Saturday night or early Sunday morn
ing, was revealed today by the autopsy
held by Coroner Kellogg over the
bodies of A. II. Maxwell and wife. well
known people who resided on claim
eight miles southeast of here.
Both of the aged pair had evidently
been strangled to death while they
slept and there was little indication of
struggle. The post mortem revealed
that the trachea in each of their
threats had been broken and the
bruises on Mrs. Maxwell's body and
broken bones in her chest were evil
IDENTITY the result of the weight of the
assassin's knee while he choked her
to death.
Ed Maxwell, nineteen years OF aye,
who was adopted by MIR. and Mrs.
Maxwell when he was seven years old,
was placed under arrest and Is being
held in jail here pending further in
vestigation.
Young Maxwell is reticent, but says
he knows nothing of the affair and
that he will be able to prove an alibi.
The last seen of the Maxwells alive
was Saturday. Yesterday being Christ
mas day, Mr.. and Mrs. Merritt, neigh
bors, sent their son to the Maxwell
ranch to take some Christmas pres
ents. On reaching the barn lot the
youth heard the cattle believing and
the horses neighing as though they
had not had food or drink for several
days.
On going to the house he saw no
signs of life about the place, and being
frightened hurried home and notified
his father, who returned with his son.
On entering the house and going TO
the bed room of the aged couple, Mer-
rift was greeted with the horrifying
spectacle of seeing them both dead in
bed. They were dressed in their night
clothes and at trst it looked as though
the couple had met death peacefully
and it was supposed by Mr.. Merritt
that death had been due to natural
causes.
Word was sent to Coroner Kellogg
at this place, and he, with the sheriff
and other authorities. drove to the
Maxwell home, and an investigation at
once suggested that death was due &c
foul play.
The bodies were brought to Lamar
and were placed in charge of a local
undertaken and this afternoon the
autopsy was held, revealing the cause
of DEATH The inquest was postponed
until next Saturday afternoon in order
to give the authorities more time to
investigate the murder.
