MITCHELL ON STAND
GIVES HIS TESTIMONY IN CON-
 TEMPT CASES.
Both Mr. Mitchell and Mir. GomDers Scored President Van CIeaye in Their Evidence Before the
 Exansiner.

Washinxton. D. C.. Sept. 13.--John Mitchell former president of the Unit ed Mine Workers. who with President Gompers and Secretary Morrison, of the American Federation of Labor. IS charged with contempt of court In the injunction case againet the of heials. for boycotting the Buck Stove and Range Company. testified In his own defense to-day before Albert Har- per examiner, MT. Gompers also was on the stand several hours.
 Mir. Mitchell. although subjected to a severe test by Daniel Davenport. of counsel for the complainants. was calm and collected throughout Only once did his composure seem to leave him and that was when his suggestion that J. c. Van Cleave. of the Stove company, had raised one and one half million dollars to disrupt organized labor. invited a heated protest from serted that the idea that such a fund was raised. originated in the heated imagination of labor enthusiasts. Mir. Mitchell was plainly annoyed by this reioinder but did not evince 1t In words. Jackson H. Ralston. of coun- sel for the Federation. however. read from the testimony In the original suit. Mir. Van Cleave's statement that In three years he had obtained one and one half million dollars for "edu- cational purposes, pure and simple"
 Much of Mir. Mitchell's testimony related to his movements leading up to the mine workers convention in Jan uary last when resolution was adopted placing the stove company on the unfair list" and imposing a fine of S5 on any member buying the pro- duct of the concern. MT. Mitchell said he took no part in drafting the resolution. nor did he have any knowl- edge of the subsequent distribution of the resolution among the 100000 mine workers of the country.
 For years I have been followed about the country by detectives" Mir Mitchell testified in commenting on Davenport's knowledge of hls move ments. "A greater familiarity about my movements than I have myself shows it was acquired In this manner. I think MT. Van Cleave Is responsible for it.
 Samuel Gompers, in his testimony characterized Mir. Van CIeavess hght against him as "an attempt to assas- sinate my character" He said he did not know that the publication of the stove companys name in the fedora ton was in violation of any order which had not then become operative. The word unfair" is notice of differ- ence between employer and emploYe. The term we do not patronize" is the statement of fact and does not affect the business of a concern. was tho answer. the witness gave mhen asked ed by counsel to differentiate between the two expressions as used in tho ex- ecutive counsel's report
 The hearing was adjourned until Thursday next.

BATTLE OF BALLOTS
VOTERS OF MAINE TO DECIDE Is-
 SUE TO-DAY.
The Republlcsns Are Confident and The DemoerntH Are Hopefui--Para- mount Issue Is Again the
 Lfuuor Question.

Portland. Me, Sept. 13--With the Republicans confident and the Demo crats hopeful. and with clearly defined issues of local rather than of National importance, the voters of Maine will cast their ballots tomorrow for Gov ernor. lConRressmcn, State Auditor. Members of the Legislature. and county oficials. Tn addition, they will also De asked to accept two proposed amend ments to the State Contitution. both dealing with the initiative and the ref- erendum.
 The election of Bert Nj. Fernald. of Portland. by at leat 15s000 plurality, was claimed today by, the Republican leaders. while their Democratic oppon- ents predicted the success of Obadiah Gardner. of Hockland. who heads their ticket, bya safe margin
 Tla nepuhIieans have won In Maine in every election since 1880 by plu- ralitiss averaging about 2S;oo0 on Presidential years, reaching 2S.s46 in lssS. and falling to 12.5o3 in 1s92.
 The paramount issue in Maine .s again the liquor question. and re-sub- mission of the Constitutional amend ment to the people. The Democrats have also put forward a plea for tax alton of the wild lands and reform in the business methods at the Capi- tai. The Republicans strongly advo- cate the enforcement of the prohibitory law and the retention of the so-called Sturgis acts for the suppression of the liquor traffic. So utterly devoid has the campaign been. of national duestinns that in some localities. Taft and Gard her clubs have been organized to en. courage Republicans to vote the Demo cratic ticket, while the Republicar campaign orators have urged the Dem ocrats to join in. an effort to uphold the prohibitory law

BRYAN STAMPS DISAPPROVAL
 ON SUNDAY SPEECH-MAKTNG

Deer Park. Md. Sept William Jennings Bryan today put his stamp Of approval on Sunday political speech making.
 Without his knowledge the residents around Mountain Lake Park were mo- tifed to assemble there at o'clock today to hear him talk. Over 120O of them gathered. while Nr. Bryan. at Deer Park was protesting to a local committee that ne would make no speech. He finally was prevailed upon to make the three mile drive and shake hands with those in the assemb- lage, with the understanding that he would not speak and that there should be no handclapping, The people gave every evidence of their pleasure at meeting the Democratic candidate for President, even though they were dis appointed at not hearing him and as he departed they violated their pledge and appIauded him llberally. \
 The day was one of absolute quiet and rest. with the exception of the short journey to Mountain Lake Park and in consequence MT Bryan prepared himself for a strenuous week ahead of him. He leaves tonight at 12.3s o'clock for Baltimore and Is due to ar rive at Camden Station. that city. at 7:5O o'clock in the morning.

 MT. Taft today indicated that he would very much like to talk with National Chairman Hitchcock after Mir. Hitchcock has conferred in Chicago Monday with Senator Dixon and the Western managers, concerning the pro- posed itinerary.

 The arrangements to have the Na- tional League of Republican Clubs have rally in Cincinnati. September 22. was made known to Judge Taft to- day by MT. Vorys by wire.

 The girl was seated at the organ playing the closing hymn at Sunday School. when suddenly Rader leaped across several benches and with his pocket knife stabbed her once in the back and twice in the breast. She died almost instantly.
 Rader was arrested and Is now In the Newton jail. Some months ago he was committed to the State Insane Asy- lum and in his rawlings often mentioned Miss Bullinger's nakne. Recently he was discharged from the hospital as cured.

 Predictions are freely made here that President Roosevelt will appoint a prominent labor organization man Com missioner General of immigration to succeed the late Frank P. Sargent. :. There is a mighty sounding around at present to find the man who Is likely to help Candidate Taft among the work : ing classes The report was started the rounds the other day that John Mitchell was likely to be asked to ac- cept the position The former head Of the miners uuion was here this week. and he was asked about the truth or the rumor He replied that he was not in the habit of accepting a place that had not been rendered him, aud edoed that he did not banker atfer office. he said that he could have had the Dem ocratic nomination for Governor of H. linois, and he believed, too. that if he had taken that nomination he could have been elected, for Mitchell talks as if. he is certain that Adlai P. Ste venson is going to trim the hepupil- cans of Illinois this time and will De the next Governor of the state. Mltch- ell Is doing everything in his power to aid in the election of Mir Bryan He Is working to that end with sam uel Gompers and other high officials of the American Federation of Labor.
 The talk here Is that the administra- ton people are trying to find some prominent labor organization ofhciai who has formerly acted with the Dem ocrats and tender him the vacancy caused h ythe death of Sargent. If they cannot secure such man. then they will do the next best thing to make Taft votes--give it to popular Republican who has pull In labor cir-

DENT NOMINATED BY
 OVER 700 PLURALITY

greatest advantage he secured from 1t was that he interested hundreds of voters who had at that time felt no interest in the race and who, perhaps. had no choice. He interested then enough to have them to go out to F polls. <
 In the second place. espcciallys< a Montgomery and in the smaller sn- ties he won votes from Colonel BricKen on that issue. Mir. Dent has secured a respectable . minority vote in those counties when as matter of fact week ago his managers were afraid he would receive only scatter ing vote. He cut heavily into the Bricken vote in Montgomery County. The Crenshaw County man receiy ed only seventy-three votes when his friends were expecting several hundred here.
 The issue hurt the vote of Thomas J. Han for the same reason and under the same circumstances 1t did serious in- jury to the Hall vote in Montgomery.
 In the primary of May IS. Montgom- cry had a total vote of $500. For a while the friends of Mir. Dent were afraid that so little interest was talk ren in the campaign that not more than 1000 votes would be cast in this coun- ty But his issue and his fight had electrical effect In this county. The total vote of Saturday when the three remaining beats are heard from Will probably be 3.200. The Dent part of that vote will be 2.250. With nine teen out of twenty-two beats heard from Dent had received 2,i65 votes. Mir. Sanford had received 551 and the three other beats are expected to raise his total to at least 500.
 The Dent lead in Montgomery coun- ty can not be overcome. That and the minority vote he has received in oth- CT counties has assured him of the nomination.
 His managers have issued the fol- lowing statement:
 Full returns are not in yet. but those that are yet to come in can only fix the size of MT. Dents plurality. Mir. Dent is assurediy nominated by at least 500 plurality. His plurality will probably be above 800 and may reach 1000. If we concede that MT. sam ford will get all that has been claim ed for him. in the precincts not heard from, Dents plurality in the race will be 500. If Mir. Dents splendid vote continues in the beats not heard from his plurality may go to 1000. Friends and representatives of the other cam didates have called up to congratulate MT. Dent. He has won a great yic- tory"

A GREAT PROCESSION
 OF CATHOLIC CLERGY

ness interests Roosevelt Is simply burning up to have one or more or the Southern States endorse my poll icies." and it Is no secret in Wash ington that the Republican campaign managers are doing hard work to swell their vote in several of the Southern States. The statement is made. and there is some basis for 1t. that the department heads are bring ing pressure to bear through special agents in the south indirectly if not directly to do everything In their pow erer to increase the vote for Taft. They figure that with two Republi- can state tickets savageIy opposing each other in Tennessee and each fae- tion striving to bring its full strength fin order to prove which Is entitled to recognition at Washington in the event Taft is elected President, there defeating the Democrats down there when 1t comes to the selection of Presidential electors. especially if 1t be true as they have improved. that thousands of Democrats are aching to vote for Taft.
 To Scratch Patterson.
 Governor Patterson. many of the Tennessee workers for Taft have re, ported to their houses in Washington, while certain of reelection, will be scratched by thousands of Democrats who supported ex-Senator Carmack at the party primaries. They think that a very large percentage of these Democrats will put In quietly vote also for Taft.
 Let it be borne in mind that at last accounts Col. William Young blood was down in Tensessee, His duties are in connection with the Plant Industry Bureau of the Depart ure. No one ever supposed before he received this appointment that the Colonel was much of an authority on plants and vines. But he has been something of a manipulator of votes though he wasn't able to do much last spring for Senator Foraker and the other allies" It would really be too bad if the opponents of Young blood should induce the. administra- tion to drop him from the pay rolls as they are reported to be up to. for 1t Is also known that he has nu- merous staunch friends who havo in- formed the high officials that they think he should have been appointed, and they insist that If Tennessee should by any hook or crook cut loose from the Democrats this year, 1t will be largely due to the smooth work of Youngblood more than to the oth- CTS detailed by the managers to work their official positions for all they arc worth in the interest of Taft and Sherman in Tennessee and Kentucky.
