Washington, Mar. 17.-In one of
the strongest and at the same time
one of the most forceful and sensa-
tional speeches delivered in the SEN
ate this session Senator Ben r. Till
man of South Carolina late yester-
day afternoon Numbered a denunci-
alton against servile officials, Wall
street and heartless corporations. 1t
was remarkable speech. 1t was
listened to by nearly every member
of the senate and by crowded gal
leries. At its conclusion the reso-
luton offered by Senator Tillman in
structing the committee on finance
to inquire whether national banks
of New York are in the habit of fur
nishing permanent capital for specu-
lative purposes, etc, was carried by
big majority. 1t was considered
by many the most effective address
that Senator Tillman has ever de-
livered in the senate.
The subject of the speech was ex-
ecutive encroachment upon the leg
islative branches of the government,
and he traced what he termed a
"swing ging of the pendulum from
the regime of Andrew Johnson, when
congress assumed control almost to
the exclusion of the president at that
time. down to the administration of
President Roosevelt, during which,

DANGER IS GREAT

PEOPLE
fBy Associated press.)

Paris, March 17.-Official dis
patches from Hayti indicate that the
situation there is still very critical
for foreigners. NJ. Carteron, the
French minister, reports that fresh
executions occurred last night, but
doesn't give the number. He says
that previous to last night 81 had
been executed. He describes NJ. Le-
comte, new minister of the interior
as being bloodthirsty. British and
German cruisers arrived at Port au
Prince last night and the French and
American cruisers are expected soon.
There is still danger of attack by
government forces on the foreign
legations where political refugees
are being given protection.

The sensational writeup of the en-
counter Local Rio Grande Agent
Stewart had with an unknown man
on Second street last night and the
evident intimation that this man was
directly or indirectly connected with
the railroad machinists who are out
on strike, sent forth this morning
by local paper, and sensational dis
patches along the same line sent out
to the Denver press last night, has
Justly caused much indignation
among the men who are out on n
strike here and among all others who
are friendly to the machinists. There
is no question but what the account
of Mr.. Stewards encounter with the
strange man was highly colored and
exaggerated.
The striking Grand Junction ma
chinists are all long time residents
of Grand Junction and each and ev-
cry one of the men is well thought of,
these men have all along discouraged
anything like a disturbance. They
believe they are reasonable and right
in their demands and expect to stand
by these demands in an honorable
an dpeaceful manner. They feel that
such reports as that given publica-
tion this morning hurts their cause
and does them an injustice.
This morning at n meeting of the
niachinists held in this city The fol-

REFUSES TO CORRECT IT'S

This afternoon committee of To-

and in a respectful manner protested
against the intiniation contained and
implied in the big scare headlines
and in many statements in the article
itself, published this morning regard
ing the Stewart attack. The editor
was asked to correct the statements
and to make an effort to correct the
false impression the sensational re-
port had given. The request was alb
soluteIy denied. The editor declared
he had nothing to rctract and refused
to make amends to any extent what
ever.
Simply to provide a sensational
and yellow article, the paper cast
serious reflection upon the local ma
chinists by implying that they were
responsible for the attack on Stew
art.

March Il, 1908.
ITO THE PUBLIC
I'VE wish the public of Grand
Junction to understand that the ma
chinists, who struck at this point are
few i'm number, owing to reduction in
force. Up to the time the strike was
called there were only 15 machinists
at this point all of whom went out
ON orders from the Grand Lodge.
''rhese men are all old residents
of Grand Junction, and as such have
the respect of the community and
are in nowise considered 1awless
eIerlcnt.
1.-THE attack on the agent last night
was in nowise connected with the
machinists, or with the present
trouble. We have no doubt Mr..
Stewart can verify this, as he per-
sOnally knows all the machinists at
this point. We wish further to state,
that the statement appearing in the
morning paper was unwarranted, as
it appeared, as it put us in u bad
light. We have enough trouble as
it lis, and do not wish to have more
by false or misleading statements,
conveyed. to the public through the

are at work and they are heavily
guarded.
The union machinists, boilermak-
ers and blacksmiths consider that
the present strike is a struggle for
the preservation of unionism in the
west.
There is little probability that the
trainmen's union will join the strike,
unless the road should attempt to
break its contract with them, which
is unlikely. 1t is not improbable,
however, that the shopmen on all of
the Gould lines may be involved in
the strike before many days.
Locally there have been no import
ant developments today in the rail-
road strike situation.
The machinists held meeting at
10 am. and discussed matters. The
men here are acting wholly under
instructions from their head officers

HAD FUN STICKING
PINS IN HIMSELF

SEATTLE (Wash.), August IL
When physician from the Health De-
partment went to South Seattle today
to examine Harold Springer, l6 years
old, for symptoms of leprosy, ne found
that youngster in the midst of a group
of boys and girls industriously sticking
pins into his face. The others were
gazing at him with admiring awe and
Springer was smiling and apparently
enjoying himself as much as anyone.
The boy had been making practice of
entertaining his friends by thrusting
pins and darning needles through his
cheeks and into his body, apparently
without the slightest pain.
A woman who learned of his peculiar
faculty and who had been reading an
account of the Molokai leper settlement,
Immediately jumped to the conclusion
that he was a leper and telephoned the
authorities. An examination developed
that he was perfectly healthy. He ap-
parently had an abnormal insensibility
to pain, which probably has been ac-
centuated by practice. The lad pos
sesses a commercial spirit and always
insists on getting fair sized fee in the
shape of stray pennies and nickels from
those who watch him perform.

WASHINGTON. August I4.-Close
friends Of President Roosevelt and
Judge Taft have let drop some hint
within the past day or two that the
President is more than likely to get
into the campaign in the most active
manner close on TO election time. That
he will appear personally in some of
the States where the fight assumes Its
most critical phases and talk directly
to the people is regarded as one of the
Logical sequences of the decision of
Judge Taft not to make any stumping
tour.
Information from reliable source is
that Secretary of War Luke Wright,
3 Democrat, will take the stump for
Taft in Tennessee, and that being the
case. Tennessee, more than otherwise
would be the ease, will become inter
esting territory. In that event, it may
mark more serious attempt than any
yet made to break up the "solid
South : and secure political align
ment on a new basis.

forming a Y as they fiverge and the
lower track reaches the edge of the
reservation. About half way between
the opening of the Y, the reservation
gate may be located The Navy would
build its own track ON fhe reservation,
connecting with the makai spur, and
this branch line would run past all the
main locations on the grounds, in order
to land the construction materials
whore the drydocks, buildings and
quarters are to be built.
From what Admiral Schroeder said
before the Atlantic fleet sailed for
Australia, the docks may be built along
the main stretch of shore some dis
lance below the landing place where
the workmen catch the train, and close
by these docks the houses for the com
mandant, some administration build
ings and quarters for the upper Off
GERS would be erected. Between these
and the reservation gate it is likely
the general quarters for all other Off
GERS may be built.
just when the actual work on the
Pearl Harbor structures is to begin is
not definite, but by October it is be-
lieved that the real work of construc-
ton will be going on in earnest and
that the drydock will be one of the
first jobs tackled
Admiral Schroeder stated at the time
the E'Schroeder Board completed it's
observations and made report to Adj
miral Sperry, that the report would
proval by the Navy headquarters, but

engineers appointed to the Pearl Har-
Dor work would commence getting up
tie details without waiting for the
official approval and sanction to make
the dirt fly. When the report is adopt
ed formally and solemnly. there is lit
tie doubt but that the local officials
will be in readiness. with their plans
and specifications to proceed.
Although actual work may not now
be in progress, yet the preliminaries
are beginning to assume measurable
proportions. For instance, the naval
tug Iroquois' left for Pearl Harbor
Thursday morning with two big hoist
ing engines to be used in all kinds of
work-pile driving, drill attachment,
etc.-and landed them safely The last
transport brought to Honolulu extern
sive drilling machinery to be used in
excavation work, both for water and
land operations.
Men now at work at Pearl Harbor
are making field surveys over the res
ervation, making borings and dredging.
About ten acres of land have been
cleared of underground, but as yet
there are no buildings to house en-
ployes. The framework of the coal
sheds partially ruined by the fires in
the coal piles at the Honolulu Naval
Station have been taken to Pearl Har-
Dor and will be erected to house ma
terials and serve as places for the men
to take their meals. Another of the
coal sheds at the Honolulu station is
vet to come down.
