LONG petition PRESENTED
TO PRESIDENT TAFT TODAY
Increase in Wage Scale, Relief From
Sugar Trust, Better Educational Fa.
cilities and Eight Hour and Employ.
ers' Liability Acts Asked For.

Washington, Nov, .27.-With more
than 100000 agricultural and indus
trial workers. including men, women
and children in Porto Rico, described
as being in an economical and socially
deplorable condition, representatives
OF organized labor in that island today
appealed to President Taft for an
amelioration of the condition Of the
laboring people there. Headed by
Santiago Iglesias, delegate from Free
Federation of Workmen of Porto Rico,
q committee representing that or
ganization, called upon President Taft
at the white house and laid before
him voluminous petition setting
forth the alleged conditions, A some
what similar representation was made
by delegation from Porto Rico to
President Roosevelt about two years
ago. when 1t was set forth. President
Roosevelt promised to do what he
could to cause a change for the better.
No improvement has been brought
about. however, 1t is declared. The
petitioners seek an increase in the
wage scale, relief from the "merci-
lessness" of the so-calIed sugar trust,
increased educational facilities for the
children of the workingmen, an i'm
provement Of extremely bad sani-
tary conditions, inspection of factories
and workshops, the abolition of con-
vict labor, the prohibition of employ
ment Of children under Ia years Of
age In factories, the application of the
eight-hour and employers liability act
and citizenship for Porto Ricans. The
charge is made that. the Legislative
assembly dominated by, the Unionist
party has committed itself against the
enactment of labor laws to better the
conditions Of the workingmen in that
ISLAND. while csrikal III afforded. every
opportunity 10 utilize Its resources
and encroaching power to the detri.
ment and injury of the laboring
classes. -

MAY CH[OR0FORM
CONDEMNED MAN
Man Sentenced to Death Is a
Nervous Wreck-Sheriff's
Method

New Castle. Pa. Nov. 27.-The spec
tacle of man being chloroformed in
order to be hanged may be witnessed
here unless the state board of pardons
interferes to save Fred Rosena, under
sentence to be executed at the county
jail at New Castle December 2.
Rosena Is in a state of nervous COL
lapse which is developing into hys-
terta az the day set for his death
draws nearer. Sheriff Waddington
AYERS that the convicted man is sick
from worrying about what will be-
come of his wife and three small chill
dren and fear of the gallows.
Sheriff Waddington declares that
Rosena, in the event his sentence is
carried out, will have to be dragged to
the scaffold by force, or be overcome
in some other way.
To Avoid Scene.
The sheriff is considering pro-
posal to drug him SO he can be exc
cuted without scene.
I've hanged two men without re.
sorting to drugs" the sheriff said to-
day, land the executions were. sue
cessful. | cannot say that I am in
favor of giving a man drugs under
such circumstances. but in case like
that of Rosena what can an official
do?
Either he has got to be taken to
the gallows by force and held there
by main strength until the rope is put
around his neck and he is dropped.
or something else must be done"
Every effort to instill courage and
self-control into Rosena has failed.
The condemned mans wife is fight
ing to save him. 1t was jealousy of
her that led him to shoot and kill his
own cousin year ago last July.

Washington. Nov. 26-The Amert
can Red Cross, with headquarters in
this city, has sent $1,000, contributed
by the New York branch, for the re.
lief of the widows and orphans In
Armenia. This action was taken up
on representations made by the
American ambassador at Constantin-
ople, MIR. Straus. who stated that
there were 5000 widows and orphans
at or near Adana, made destitute by.
the massacres which took place there;
some months ago.
UP to this time the Red Cross has
sent $14.733, to the widows and or.

members Of the Rennsylvania delega-
tion. Having served over twenty
years in the house and now holding
the ranking places on the ways and
means committees, his experience has
we'll fitted him for the speakership.
However, 1t. is probable that the
sentiment which will prevent Mr..
Cannon from being again elected
speaker, would be aimed at both Mr..
Payne and Mr.. Dalzell because Of
their close relations with Cannon in
the management of legislation upon
the floor of the house. The insur-
gents would not consider them any
more available than Cannon. 1t seems
more likely that the choice will fall
upon some member who has not been
prominently identified with Cannon
ISM" but who, also, has not been
classed as an insurgent, one who can
command the support of both sides.

CANNON RULE IS
NEAR ITS CLOSE
Veterans Of the House Believe
Speaker is Serving His
Last Term

Washington, Nov. Pit is the opin-
ION of veteran members of the
house Of representatives that Joseph
8. Cannon is serving his last term
as speaker of the hoouse. Who will
succeed him Is question of live in
terest. Whether Mr.. Cannon will re-
tire from congress at the end of his
present term. or. whether he will come
back and take seat upon the floor
Of the house Is not known. Probably
the speaker himself has not made up
his mind on this question. But wheth-
Or he Is returned or not It appears
certain. to leading Republicans that
he Will not again be q candidate for
speaker.
This fact does not mean that his
Republican colleagues are influenced
by the campaign OF opposition that
has been waged against him. 1t
means only that this sentiment has
spread so widely that 1t would be
bad politics to attempt to re-elect
him speaker. The idea has been scat
tered broadcast that Speaker Cannon
rules the house like ear, that he is
responsible ..''or all bad legislation en-
acted and for all good legislation
suppressed. The facts have been
grossly exaggerated and the truth
badly distorted.
To Be Campain Issue.
However this may be, It remains
true that the people believe these
things and they look upon Cannon
and Aldrich as the personification OF
bossism and ring rule in the national
legislature. In one large city that
sends three Republican congressman
TO Washington 1t is reported npon
good authority that the anti Cannon
sentiment is 80 strong that not one
Of the three members can be returned
next fall who does not promise to
vote against Cannon for speaker. This
is in the east. while west Of the Mis-
sissippi and In the northwest the
radical sentiment has grown until
anybody who is known to have ever
been friendly with Mr. Cannon is
looked upon as tainted. $s
During this winter there will be
much discussion as to who will WELD

The author enters realm of human

Anton Vogel, an early resident OF
Nicollet county and a veteran of the
Civil and Indian wars, died at his
sons home in Oshawa township at 10
O'Clock yesterday morning. Mr.. Vo-.
gel, who had reached the advanced
age of 81 years, was born in Germ any
in 1928, and came to this country il
1860, the year before the opening of
the war of the rebellion. When Little
Grow and his savages went on the war
path in August, 1862, Mr. Vogel joined
the company raised by Capt. E. ST.
Julien Cox and marched to the relief
of New Ulm, participating in the last
battle at that place. Later he enlisted
in a Minnesota regiment and with it
saw service in the southern states, re-
naming in the army till the end of the
war. On his return to civil life Mr..
Vogel settled on claim in Belgrade
township, living on it for many years.
His wife died IN 1876, and in 1905 he
went to Oshawa to make his home with
his son, Anton Vogel. The deceased
was a good friend and neighbor, and
in his death Nicollet county loses one
of its most esteemed citizens. -Four
children are left to mourn Mr.. Vogel's
death. His sons, Anton and Henry
Vogel, both reside in Oshawa, one.
