LABOR TEMPLE FACTS.

The Labor Temple directors must have $4,000 in
cash December l, 1909 they will be up against
it. They want 500 union men to pledge stock SUBJ
scriptions Of 81 a month for twelve consecutive
months If 500 such will step forward and
make good the board Of directors will undertake
to raise the rest
But until the union evidence determination
ito. and willingness to make sacrifices to
secure Labor Temple, the board Of directors does
not feel like approaching outsiders and asking for
stock subscriptions. The Labor Temple will be
paying institution. No doubt about that. It will
pay in dollars and it will pay in industrial and
cia betterment It will. mean better working condi-
tons better fraternal feeling, better wages better
men, better and happier children But the
workers must show their interest by putting up
their dollars. No is asked to give largely,
but all are asked to give something.
Did say ''give?'
We meant to say that each man is asked to sub
scribe something-to invest something in project
that will pay big dividends.
vest dollar month for twelve consecutive
months in Labor Temple stock, the unions would
have proptrty worth $25 900, and in addition to
monetary dividends the stockholders would be
ceiving incalculable benefits.
What are you going to do about it?

Ihringer He has automatic telephone. And if
you are willing, notify him before you lay this pa

WILL STARTLE
THE COUNTRY.

Reports of the extent of the white
slave traffic in connection with imml-
grafton have been prepared by the
immigration Commission for submis-
sion to Congress, which will startle
the country. If the story of condi-
tions as they / found to exist by
the special agents of the commission
do not stir Congress to action the
members of the commission will be
greatly disappointed in the effect OF
the results Of their Investigations.
At a special meeting of the COM
mission the report was laid before
the full membership for approval anu
practically completed. 1t will be laid
before Congress very soon, probably
before January L. 1t is the plan Of
the commission to give to Congress
the result of it's work by subjects in
stead of in one bulky volume. Since
the authorization of the commission
ends with March l this must be done

KEYNOTE IS
CONSERVATISM.

Conservatism Is noticeable in the
views expressed by members of both
houses of Congress. Even those who.
only a few days ago loudly pro-.
claimed their purpose to institute
sweeping Investigations into trusts and
controversies admitted that, on ,refec-
ton, they had determined to make
haste slowly. Senator Borah, who
had announced his purpose thorough
ly to ventilate the affairs Of the Sugar
Trust and its violations of the GUS
toms law, said he would introduce a
resolution calling for an investiga-
ton, but would permit it to "lie on
the table" pending the conclusion OF
the prosecutions being conducted by
the Department Of Justice. Repre-
sentative Campbell, who purposei to.
introduce a similar resolution in the
House, admitted that he had decided
to consult the Acknowledgment be-
fore doing SC. Senator Nelson, who
intended to father an Investigation of
the Ballinger-Pinchotc has
for the present, at least, thought bet.
ter of it. Representative Hitchcock.
of Nebraska, a Democrat, introduced
O resolution calling for an investdga-
ton Of the General Land Office, which
went to the Committee on Rules.

DR.. F. A. COOK.
New Attack Upon Him-His Lawyer

I tor and Copenhagen divine-In q
M,ina Sanitarium

New York, Special.-The New
York Times presents the remarkable
narratives of two men, made under
oath, declaring that the were employ
ed by DR.. Frederick A. Cook, to fab
ricate astronomical and other obser-
vations for submission to the uni
versity of Copenhagen, which is
about to pass upon DR.. Cooks asser-
ton that he discovered the North
Pole on April 81, 1908. These men
are George H. Dunkle, an insurance
broker, of 81. Nassau street, New
York and Capt. August Wedel Loose
a sea captain of 437 Thirteenth ST.,
Brooklyn. For their labors they we're
to have received jointly from DR..
Cook $4,000 with an additional bonus
of $500 to Capt. Loose upon the ac-
ceptance of the records by the Uni
versity of Copenhagen. They say
that DR.. Cook had paid them only
$500 when he disappeared on the eve
of the dispatch of his records to
Copenhagen two weeks ago and his
failure TO pay the sum remaining due
them they freely acknowledge to be
their motive for coming forward with
the story.
Accompanying these narratives
will appear copies of the affidavlts OF
Capt. Lease and Dunkie affirming
their accuracy.
Another New York dispatch says
DR.. Frederick A. Cooks personal law
yer Henry Wellington Wack, has sew
cred relations with his client. MI.
Wack refused to confirm or deny his
withdrawal, but it can be affirmed on
competent authority that, after a
consultation with his partners, Nh.
Wack wrote DR.. Cook so long ago as
November 80 hat he must beg him
to seek legal advice elsewhere.
A Copenhagen cablegram of Thurs
day says Dr.. Trop, rector of the Uni
versity IF Copenhagen, says that the
charges published in The New York
Times against DIR. Frederick A. Cook
are based on pure fiction. Never
theless, lie addedl he would accept: the
offer to examine the documents pre-
pared by Loose and Dunkle, which
The Times has agreed to send to
Copenhagen.
Walter Lonsdale, secretary to DR..
Cook, who brought the explorers
data to Copenhagen, also declared
that the accusations published IN
New York and London against DR..
Cook were totally unfounded.
DR.. Cook is known to be at Pine
Tree Sanatarium at Wells, Maine,
under treatment Of DR.. 7. S. Pitts for
a bad nervous condition which DIR.
Pitts says, however, is not danger
Gus to mind or body and he considers
him as now re%euperating.

that there is danger Of an attack by

sent By wi;rIess to the protected

The Importance and significance OF
these orders are minimized at the

the Tacoma has been instructed; to
look out for American interests at
Bluefelds.
A dispatch of Saturday says:
This city of Bluefclds, the headquar-
tcers of the provisional government,
has been thrown into alarm by a sud
den realization of the strength Of the
government army against which Cen
eral Estrada, the leader of the lnsur-
gents, had been supposed to have been
making irresistible Roadway. Estra-
da apparently has been hoodwinked
BY Zelaya and no one would be sur
prised If the latter's troops shopld
appear before the city at any hour.
Estrada is hoping for timely aid
from tile United States.
A staff correspondent of The As

here has canvassed the situation and
Gnds it less hopeful for the insur-
gents than has been believed.

For the past sixteen years, during
which time Zelaya has been in power,
according to the statements of men
now On the isthmus who are onver
SAINT with affairs in that republic,
nicaragua has been ruled by a group
of eight daring, clever and conscience
less men, who have looked upon the
country as their own-personal prop
erty.
This group has grown enormously
rich by a;systematized pillage of the
revenues of.the States and Of indivi-
duals. 1t is estimated that Zelaya is
worth about $29,00G,000 gold, most of
which heEllas inYested in Brussels
and London:
It is said that when these men
wanted piece of property they of
fered about one tenth of its value
and forced them to- take, their offer
by threats Of charge of treason be-
fore packed courts and juries and had
them shot as traitors. A break was
made when Zelaya refused to be fair
in the distribution of the spoils.

With Evidence to Convict the Per-

Savannah, Ga, Special. = Victims
Of a revolving crime, Mrs. Eliza Crib
BILE, aged 70 years, and her daughter:
Mrs. Carrie Ohlander, were found
dead in heir home, No. 4O1 Perry
street, west, here Friday, while a
third woman, Mrs. Maggie Hunter:
found just inside the front door OF
the house, is at the Savannah hos
pital dying.
Physicians state that Mrs. Ohland-
er was the victim of a criminal as
sault just before she was killed.
Police believe that the murder u.s.
ing an x taken from the woodshed
in the rear Of the Gribbie home, beat
Mrs, Grihble to death, struck down
Mrs. Hup.er and, after assaultlng
Mrs. Ohlander III the wide, long hall
way where the bodies were found, I'M
ished his terrible work by beating IN
her skull with the weapon.
Mrs. Gribble evidently was attack,
ed from behind as she sat in an easy
chair reading. On the floor beside
her body we're found the newspaper
she was reading and her s%pectacles.
One or possibly two blows were
dealt her. Her grey hair, blood mat.
ted, shows the imprint OF the blunt
are.
1t is probable that Mrs. Huntei
was the first to be struck down; thai
she met the murderer at the door az
he entered and was struck before she
could escape.
Then the murderer, stcalthily ap.
preaching aged Mrs. Gribble, killed
her. 1t is believed that Mrs. Ohland'
er was attacked as she left her room
to enter the hallway, was assaulted
and killed. Mrs. Hunters skull wa:
crushed in and her death is q matter
of but few hours.
Other theories are entertained by
searchers for the murderer but the
police ar proceeding on the theory
that a negro man is guilty. Many en-
terrain this theory and feeling is Ill
tense here because of it.
Friday night Mayor Tiedeman Of
Savannah offered o reward of $l,OO(
for the capture with evidence to con
Wet the slayer of these women.
1t is now almost certainly known
that . negro, the negro who was al
first suspected, is the guilty man. Per
sons have been found who state that
this negro was seen entering the Crib
BILE home with the fatal X in hi:
hand, and was seen closing the shut:
tiers to the windows of the house, anc
to leave the premises, all at the houl

committed.

TO create a department of the govern

country what the bureau of corpora
tons has been doing in specific IN
stances, and compel complete pub
licity in. the management of inter
state corporations, is n OF the
leading recommendations contained
in the annual report Of the Secretary
of Commerce and Labor made public
Sunday. Newer and tighter laws to
stamp out the white slave trade,
which the secretary says is an or
panized and extensive business, is the
other.
The secretary recommends the FUR.

and State systems Of corporote tax

On the subject of government con.

forces, Secretary Nagel says some
terse things and makes some import,

of two things is emphasized. First, re-
liable information upon which the
government may take legislative and
administrative action and second, re-
liable, information in a concise and
available form to serve for the basis
of public opinion. The first step to
be taken he says is an advance to-
ward a complete system for obtaining
and making public this information.
The bureau of corporations has de-
monstrated the value Of this beyond

BAILEY PROPOSES
NIGHT SESSIONS.

Some interest was injected into the
Senate proceedings by the announce
ment of Senator Bailey, Of Texas, that
he had become enamored of the GUS
tom OF the British Parliament OF
meeting in the evening. The Texan
said he realized the futility Of asking
the Senate to conform to that custom
lust. now, but urged that the custom
airy rule providing that the Senate
shall meet at "12 meridian" be
amended to read "2 post meridian"
Mr.. Bailey didenot put his suggestion
in the form of a motion, and the
usual rule was adopted. 1t is a safe
prediction that, "the British idea" will
find little favor in the upper house,
although its sponsor purposes to press
his suggestion later on.
