DENVER, July 27.-The Western
Federation of Miners today voiced
it's sympathy for the cause of Social
ism. The first came with an adop-
tion of resolution instructing the
executive board to publish Socialist
literature in all languages spoken
by members of the federation for
general distribution. The second in
stance was the appointment of a
committee to draft resolutions en-
bodying the views of the federation
in regard to the case of Fred War
ren, editor of Socialist paper, who
was recently sentenced to six months
in Jail and fined $500 because of
certain Objectionable matter pub
lished in his paper. The only other
business today was the report of
the executive board member Fred

WHITE PLAINS, July 27-Harry
Thaw as he sat in the supreme
court today heard woman's testi-
mony which caused his palid face
to flush. He saw hand dog whip
exhibited with which he is alleged
to have fiayed the bare flesh of
girls. Mrs. Susan Merrill was the
witness who opened new chapter
in the life of Whites slayer. Her
testimony was in marked contrast to
that of the two alienists who de-
clared as their opinion that Thaw
was sane She testified that between
1902 and 1905 she kept two lodg-
ing houses in New York, where
Thaw rented rooms under assumed
names and to which he brought at
various times more than 200 girls.

1t will be remembered that bill
creating a bureau of mines passed
the house of representatives the last
congress by the splendid majority of
21S to twenty-nine, which evidences
the strong feeling in the lower
house of congress favorable to this
legislation, but the senate killed the
bill last February, largely because
of the bitter opposition of Senator
Teller of Colorado. Teller is now
out of the senate and it is believed
that such a law will now receive
more favorable consideration.

PASSING OF H. H. ROGERS

Word comes in the press dispatches
of the death of Henry H. Rogers, noted
as n of the Standard Oil magnates.
While Rockefeller conceived the
great monopoly, and was its nominal
head, for many years Rogers was actual
manager, and his was the genius that
kept it alive, in the face of an oppo-
sitlon that included the United States
government.
Possessed of great executive abili
ties, coupled with equally great un-
scrupulousness, MI. Rogers built up a
financial machine that seemed impreg-
nable. His death, however, will cause
not a ripple in the business world in
which he was so potent a factor, and in
a week he will have been forgotten.
In his last hours his millions awaited
him naught, and he might well have e

PROMINENT OFFICIALS
BEING INVESTIGATED

Following an investigation inaugural
ed by District Attorney Augustus Til
den, of Esmeralda county, four county
officials and the justice of the peace OF
Rawhide township in that county have
been subpoenaed before the grand jury
now in session at Goldfeld to explain
charges that they abused their authori-
ty and under guise of reviving an old
criminal prosecution, forced A. W.
Leeman, a mining man, to settle a
civil suit.
A year and a half ago A. w. Lee
man., a mining man, is said to have
issued several worthless checks on a
Reno bank. Payment was refused but
the checks are said to have been taken
up and paid by County Commissioner
Charles Worden. At the time there was
an agreement by the parties concerned
to drop any contemplated charges
against Leeman.
1t is now claimed that the man I'M
der suspicion, on the pretense of hav-
ing a criminal warrant for Leeman on
the charges named above, took him
from another county, brought him back
to Rawhide, and forced him to settle
a civil claim. He was Their released
without having been given a hearing
on the criminal charge.

HAD THEIR HAMMERS OUT

1t would seem that United States
senators are much the same, in most
respects, as less fortunate mortals.
During a general discussion of the
tariff bill in the senate, last Wednes-
day, Senator Oliver, of Pennsylvania,
evidently lost his temper and took a
rap at Nevada, over the shoulders of
Senator Newlands, claiming that while
in Reno the only place he could find to
escape the clink of gambling devices
was in the library donated to the ciey
by a citizen of Pennsylvania.
The answer of the senior Nevada
senator was dignlfied and to the point,
and he seemingly had the better of the
discussion.

GENERAL sroEssEL pARDoNED

Whatever opinion the world may en-
terrain of Gar Nicholas, his recent ac-
tion in pardoning Lieutenant General
Stoessel will meet with universal ap-
proval.
This unfortunate officer, in his de-
Tense of Port Arthur against the on
slaughts of the Japanese, made a most
gallant resistance, and seemingly held
on to the limit of human endurance.
But powerful enemies secured his
court-martial before a biased tribunal,
and he was sentenced to death.
While the generals life has been
spared, the incident will no doubt
prove to have made the remainder OF
his years hardly worth the living.
