SPOKANE, Wash, Dec. 6.-Searcl
for local color to embellish a story OF
roughing it" almost cost A. G. Rom
ming, graduate of the University oil
Minnesota, his life. He was famished
when found in a sealed box car at
Everett, Wash, having made the trip
from Spokane to that city without
food or drink for two days. He was
arrested and booked as a vagrant, but
when the police learned his story they
gave him nourishment.
Romming said he came to the North
west to gather material for novel,
and wanted to weave a real experience
into the tale He climbed into a box
car in the Great Northern Railway
COmpany's yard, thinking to get out
after a ride Of fifty miles, but while
he was asleep in corner the door was
shut and fastened. He pounded and
kicked until his knuckles and toes
became bruised without attracting at
tention. The fact that the car con-
tanned perishable freight and was
quickly unloaded at Everett saved his
life, he said, as he would have starved
n another day.

TAFT WILL HELP
NEW MEXICO
PROMISES TO PUSH ALONG SIM
GLE STATEHOOD BILL FoR
THE TERRITORY.

HOT SPRINGS, Va, Dec Gov
| George Curry, of New Mexico, laid the
claim of that Territory for Statehood
before President-elect Taft today and
received the assurance that Mr.. Taft
is heartily in favor of the proposition.
Gov. Curry told Mr.. Taft that Presi.
dent Roosevelt was to make strong
recommendation for the passage of
Statehood bills for both New Mexico
and Arizona at the coming short ses-
sion of Congress.
Mr.. Taft was asked to use his influ-
ence for the success of this pro-
gramme. This Mr. Taft said he would
do in any manner that might be con-
sistent with his present unofficial
status. 1t is probable he will have an
opportunity when in Washington next
week to mntion the matter to Legis-
lative leaders.
The President elect today accepted
an invitation to attend dinner to be
given by the promoters of the Citi-
zens Taft Club of Cincinnati on Feb
10 next.

put an end to future golf-playing here

PLANTING THE SYCAMORE.

There are three girls in school thi
year,
Who have announced, without a fear
When Arbor Day does come around,
That they will give a reason sound,
And tell us why a sycamore tree
They had decided their plant to be.
! Now these three girls we all know
well,
Bessie Lee, Miss Dora, and nellie,
The leader, you say, you'd like to see,
Oh, it's the pretty Bessie Lee;
And now / know we'll not despair,
Since in her, we have a captain fair.
These girls we'll call the Beautiful
Three:
And I'm sure that all with nell agree,
But of these three, whom we adore,
Is this carrect-shouldn't there be
four?
Until there's four instead of three.
Our souls have been so overcast,
When we think of the absent one,
That sweet little girl who'll miss the
fun;
But cheer up, all, and we'll have day, |
Which seldom comes around this way.
When Dora, Nellie and Bessie Lee,
Line up to plant that famous tree,
Oh, won't the boys all laugh and roar
To see them use the spade and hoe,
And Professor Duke know'll be glad,
When he sees the smile of lass and
lad.
When these three girls have done their
work,
IN sure the rest of us won't shirk
70 plant our trees with as much vim,
Is any girl, however trim;
md IL we can't so pretty be.
hat makes no difference with tree.
low someone puts II up to me,
o pick the prettiest of the three,
his is enough to make one sore,
or instead of three there should be
four,
o my friend will surely have to wait
nd perhaps some day, I'll put him
straight.

Danville, ILL.,, Sept. 11.-Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon. opening his cam
paign for reelection to congress from
the 18th district of Illinois last night,
delivered speech ceaIing with the
leading issues of the national cam
paign, devoting considerable atten-
tion to w. ]. Bryan and to Samuel
Gompers. The speech in part took
the form of reply to Mr.. Gompers'
attack on Speaker Cannon, made in
speech in Danville on Labor day.
Mr.. Gompers complains" said
Speaker Cannon, in the course of his
speech, that the supreme court of
the United States has placed a new
Interpretation on the Sherman anti
trust law in the decision of the DAN
bury hatters' case. Mr.. Gompers is
mistaken. Like other Special plead
ers. he puts into that decision things
that were not written or decided or
considered.
The hatters' case was a complaint
against an interstate boycott The
American Federation of Labor had
ordered boycott throughout the
United States against the Danbury
nat manufacturers because of re-
fusal to unionize their shops. The
complaint was against the boycott as
a restraint of interstate commerce
and in defiance of the Sherman law.
The case was decided on that ground
and the opinion of the supreme court
sustained the decision of the lower
court on that ground.
Mr.. Gompers says that this de-
cision for the first time brings labor
unions under the restrictions of the
Sherman law. He is mistaken The
United States courts, district and cir
cult, have in numerous cases held
that the law applied to labor organ
izations. In the opinion of the SUI
preme court, Chief Justice Fuller, a
democrat, cited several of these de-
cisions."
Mr.. Cannon referred again to the
case in which the United States court
OF Louisiana in March, 1898, issued
an injunction against striking mem
bers of the Workingmen' Amalga-
mated Council of Louisiana, and held
that the Sherman law applied to COM
binations of workers as we'll as to
of capital.
That decision said Speaker Can
non, was rendered fifteen years
ago, before the Pullman strike in |
Chicago, and it has been the inter- |
of the law ever since. Mr.. |

STRIKES
MADE AT
ASPEN
Especial to The sent:neI.1

Especial to The Sentinel.
Aspen, Colo. Sept. 1.-Two finds
of ore, one in the Millionaire mine,
the other in the Smuggler. of un-
paralleled richness and great size
have caused a sensation here, and bid
fair to place Aspen again in the
lead as one of the greatest mining
camps in the United States. If not in
the world.
The richest of the two was made
in the Millionaire, owned by ID. r. C.
Brown, and operated under lease
through the A. j. tunnel, by the Du-
rant interests. The ore body has
been examined by experts and pro-
nounced to be of the highest grade,
and there are thousands of tons in
sight. 1t is heavily impregnated
with silver and the values, ii is
claimed, will run well up into the
thousands
Second in importance only to the
Millionaire find is the rich strike of
silver-lead ore in the north end of
of the ninth level of the Smuggler,
and conservative estimates show that
the body is of such enormous size
that 1t will keep the mine in opera
ton for twenty years. Its full ex-
tent is not vet known. but it is be-
iieved that the ore body extends to
the surface ana development work
is being vigorously pushed
From It's one ore body alone the
mine is shipping upward of so tons
of ore day, and cars are being sent
out regularly from other portions of
the property.
The ore is of high grade. of similar
quality as that in other parts of the
mine, being native silver in a matrix
of lead. Nearly 200 men are en-
ployed on the Smuggler, and the
force will be increased soon. ID. NJ.
and Charles j. Hughes. Jr.. are
among the capitalists most heavily
interested in the property.
The present low price of silver has
caused a curtailment of work on
many of the mines in the district, but
news of the two rich strikes on the
Smuggler and Millionaire mines has
encouraged the owners of other
properties in the vicinity and it is be-
lieved that several of these will
| shortly resume work.
Results from a test shipment from
the Montezuma. received today, are
so encouraging that the owners have
decided to reopen the mine and place
IL again on the list of active produc-
ers- The Ruby mine is also to be re-
opened at once.

CANNON TRIES
TO ANSWER THEM

Bryan was in congress for two years
after that decision, and, although the
democrats controlled the government,
we fail to find anything in the rec
ords to show that he or his party
tried to amend the Sherman law or
make any protest against the action
of the court.
THE decision OF the Danbury hat
ters' case was that the boycott was
in restraint of trade and that the
American Federation of Labor was
not exempt from the law made for
all. 1t is an unwarranted assump-
tion that this decision in any way
affects agreement between employees
and employers, or that it even touch
es the right of employees to quit work
or strike"
Speaker Cannon then told of the
appearance of Mr. Gompers before
the house committee on judiciary
while it was considering the Hep
burn bill, to ask for an amendment
that would authorize the boycott. He
said Mr.. Gompers was asked whether
an amendment suggested by him was
meant to relieve labor unions from
the operation of the Sherman anti
trust law, as construed in the Dan
bury hatters' case. Upon Mr.. Com
pers replying yes the chairman
asked him:
do you, as the representative of
organized labor, favor the boycott.
both as an interstate and local
proposition?"
Mr.. Cannon said that Mr.. Com
pers replied, 81 do, SIR
1T will be seen," said Mr. Can
non, that Mr.. Gompers' complaint
was direct as to the decision of the
court on the boycott, not as to what
1T might lead to in interference with
agreements between employers and
employees, or as to the right of em-
ployes to strike. His contention is
for the right to boycott, to use the
influence he has with great organ
ization, which he says as a member
ship of more than 100000 men, to|
boycott the product of any man or
any firm for any cause whatever, and
to use the publication under his con-
troll to injure any mans business for
any cause or whim that pleased him.
That would be Illegal in any publ
cation by any man, and it is difficult
to see how it can be made above the
law or how Mr.. Gompers can be ex-
empted from the operation of the
law that applies to all men"

REPUBLICANS
OF STATE
meet
[special 70 The Sentinel. !


Denver. Sept. 11.-Colorado Re-
publican politicians are gathering to-
day in advance of the state conven-
tion of the party, which will be held
tomorrow. The Democrats held their
convention in Pueblo earlier in the
week, and the political campaign will
soon be on in full blast.
Leaders of both parties are ex-
hibiting IA great deal of confidence.
Many bitter criticisms have been di-
rected at the Rev. Henry Buchtel
since he became the Republican gov
ernor of Colorado and personalities
will likely figure largely in the fight.
Republican politicians express the
conviction that Taft is certain to
carry Colorado, but it is admitted
that Bryan has many adherents in
this state. In 1896 the Nebraskan
received the overwhelming plurality
of 134.SS2. In 1900 the Democratic
plurality was 29,661. and in 1904
Roosevelt carried the state by 34.-
5S2. There is no doubt that the per-
sonal popularity of the president was
largely responsible for the large vote
he received. While both Taft and
Bryan have many devoted adher-
ents, neither are able to arouse the
enthusiasm of the voters as did
Roosevelt.
Whether Colorado's electoral vote
shall be cast for Bryan or Taft is
still uncertain, and until the votes
are counted next November. Colorado
will remain in the ranks of the
doubtful states. to be claimed by
both sides The Hearst party vote
will not cut any figure, but the Soc
ialists claim to have greatly increas-
ed the number of their adherents in
the last few years, and the strength
of that party may prove surprise.
