Denver, July 15.-The supporters of P. w. Flynn of Butte. in his fight for the presidency of the Western Feder- alton of Miners and the adherents of the plan to affiliate with the Indus trial Workers of the World, suffered a decisive defeat today when the con ventiOn refused to seat Delegates Ed ward Hammond of Michigan and J. A. Jones. Of Gowganda, Ont
 The entire days deliberations were given over to the consideration of the charges against Hammond and Jones. The former was accused of being a spy for the capitalist classes. So wrought up did the delegates become that at times personal encounters were immi- nent. and were only prevented by the interference of cooler heads.
 Reports by committees scheduled for tomorrow are expected. The first to be taken up will be the report on Pres ident Movers annual address. This will give P. w Flynn an opportunity to answer charges made therein, and lively session is promised.

public eye 10 stay when il was inscribed
on beautiful arch on Broadway in 1851
at the time of the towns bicentennal an
niversary. Since none of the speakers OF
that time use the sobriquet, it is fair to
presume that 1t was new. Henry Ward
Beecher has been accredited with orgi-
mating the nickname which stuck The
rose was Beecher's favorite flower. and
story has been told of his paying so much
attention to. favorite rose that Mrs.
Beecher In a jealous moment cut il off
and threw it away. He did not so call
1t because of the popularity Of rose cul-
ture here, but il was his ideal rural New
England city: 1t took his fancy as the
rose had taken it long before. 1t is told
OF him that when he stood beneath the
Lorenzo Dow elm, at Norwich town.

and exclaimed: 1T seems as If ! should

was capable of seeing here '.the Rose OF
New England and we all recognize the

ONCE FAMOUS CLOWN DIES.
Barking Dog Leads to "Ned" Turner
Dying in Ditch.

GALETON, Pa, June 4.-The north
tier of papers have recounted how a
barking dog on a Potter county highway
called attention to a struggling man In
wayside ditch. stricken with apoplexy,
who died before help could arrive and in
whose pocket was found a card on
which was printed only ED Turner
But there is more to this sad and sud-
den end Ned Turner was a veteran
Snowman. seventy years old. He had
been before the public from an early age.
At one time he was the leading clown
with =. +. Barnum's circl and the au-
thor of Turner's JOKE Book.
He had friends and acquaintances
throughout the world. and in the heydey
of youth was much petted and feted and
received large salary. But Barnum
died and Turner aged. and later he COM
menced coming down the scale, his last
days being engaged in putting on anna
teur shows by local talent in various
towns through the states.
And his last act was peculiarly pa
thetic. On the highway. alone. without
money or friends. he who had caused
millions of laughs and who amused and
entertained vast audiences. took his final
cue from the waling Of a dog and made
his exit from life's stage.

Did Not Burn Columbia.


About this time Of the year. you may
be looking for the time worn falsehood
that Sherman burned Columbia, s. c., in
the civil war. and this misstatement is
still perpetuated in an inscription on a
monument of Calhoun in Charleston. On
one face Is the statement that the money
raised by the women of the little state
was preserved intact by the treasurer, |
forget her name. who hid 1t in Columbia
at the time it was burned by Sherman.
Sherman did not burn Columbia. The
confederation was caused by the confed-
crate cavalry under Wade Hampton set
ting fire to the depots and the bales or
cotton in the streets. There was a hlgh
wind blowing, the bales burst and the
burning cotton was carried all over the
city Logan's troops were among the
first. if not the first. to arrive and set to
work to save what they could of the city
This whole matter was adjudicated by
mixed commission on American and Brit
ish claims in the cases of Wood and Hey
worth against the United States, and OF
Cowlam Gravely against the United
States. and twenty-one other cases, all
for cotton claimed to have been owned
by British subjects and alleged to have
been burned by United States troops.
The commission was composed of Count
Cont OF Italy Russell Gurney, member
of parliament of London and James F..
Fraser of Indiana. Over 300 pages OF
testimony were taken. including that of
Hampton and other confederate officers
and of Gems Sherman. Logan, Howard,
Woods and other federal officers. The
claims were all disallowed. all the COM
mission agreeing, and the simple issue
was. Did the United States troops burn
Columbia" And yet in spite of this Judi
cial decision by two foreign umpires of
great distinction and concurred in by an
American umpire of note, majority of
the southern people still persist in believ-
ing that our troops did 1t. A falsehood
travels on wings and truth seems to move
like law, with leaden foot, but it gets
there at last.
