TAFT CAN'T FORGIVE
HAZERS OF SUTTON

Washington, Aug. SIT is perfect
ly useless for any of the young cadets
who were dismissed by President Taft
last week from the West Point military
academy for hazing Cadet Orlando
Sutton to make any effort toward re-
instatement," said a well known army
officer today.
THE law is mandatory on the SUBJ
ject of the dismissal of a cadet found
guilty of hazing," he added, and
neither the president nor the secretary
of war has any power to reinstate any
Of them. The law against hazing pro-
vides for dismissal of cadets found
guilty of participating, encouraging or
cou%ntenancing such practices, and they
are not eligible to again enter West
Point or for admission to the army
through civilian examination until two
years after h class In which they
were members has graduated"
The young men have been uniformly
told that any efforts for reinstatement
at West Point through any authority
other than special act of congress
would be absolutely fruitless.

Aberdeen, S. D., Aug. 30.-The trial
of Emil Victor for the murder OF Mil
dred Christie began in earnest at 3:15
Saturday afternoon, when court recon-
vened after a half hours recess. suc-
ceeding the securing of the twelfth
jury to try the case. OF the jurors,
one is a hotel keeper, another a stock
buyer, two are retired farmers and the
others are farmers, mostly from the
northern part of Brown county, many
miles from the scene of the murder.
Their ages range from II to SO. One
Is a widower, two are bachelors, and
the other nine are married men, with
families.
John T. Ronayne, father Of Michael
Ronayne, was the first witness, and he
related the story Of driving down to
the Christie farm the morning Of the
murder, and finding the bodies Of his
~14-year-old son, Michael, and ]. w.
Christie, in the barn, and Of the later
discovery Of the bodies of Mrs. Christie
and Mildred in the house.
Position Of Dead Bodies.
DR.. George E. Countryman, coroner,
testified regarding the position Of the
bodies of the dead. The defense OBJ
Jected' to him describing the condition
Of the bodies, or their positions. except
that Of Mildred Christie, on the ground
that the prisoner Is not on trial for the
murder Of the others, but the objection
was overruled by the court, who sus-
tanned the states attorneys plea that
1t was necessary, in order to lead up to
the killing Of Mildred Christie, to de-
scribe the other happenings at the
Christie farm. Sheriff Anderson also
testified regarding events leading to
Victor's arrest, n court hen adjourn
ed until 8 o'clock this morning.
Victor has lost to a large degree the
acterized his behavior, and appeared
to be collected and confident.

STEEL CAR CONCERN
ACCUSED or PEONAGE
Federal Authorities Are Inves-
tigating and Officials May
Be Prosecuted.

Pittsburg. Pa. Aug. 3o.-The FIRST tes-
timony offered in the federal govern
ment Investigations into the charges Of
peonage against the officials of the
Pressed Steel Car company in Schoen-
vile, whose $500 employees are on strike,
In which 1t Is alleged force was used
to compel imported laborers to work,
developed yesterday. The Pressed Steel
Cal company's attorney attempted to
detain the man who testified hat he
was made to work against his will, but
this was prevented by the Austro-Hun-
garian consular attorney and the as
,sistant Of the federal attorney.
All the testimony was taken in the
form of affidavits. From the first dozen
witnesses called little information upon
which to base peonage charges was
ELECTED, the witnesses for the greater
part declaring that their food had been
bad and their treatment rough, but cit
ing no definite persons as being respon-
sible.
United States District Attorney Jor-
dan refused to comment on the dis
closures, but 1t Is now said by those in
position to know that a suit on peonage
charges will more than likely be fled
against the minor officials Of the car
plant within h next 10 days.

DISH WIPING TENOR TO
SING IN GRAND OPERA

New York, Aug. 31.-From dish dip
ing to. the stage of the Manhattan
opera house is the quick jump of the
newest discovery of Oscar Hammer
stein, who will introduce to the New
York public Antonio Richard as addi-
tional tenor this winter.
The discovery was made by patrons
Of the Chateau des Beaux Arts, al
Huntington, l.. l., when the American
Institute OF Architects, who were din
ing there, heard exquisite renditions
from tenor parts in Martha and
"Tosca" emanating from the pantry.
They clamored for the man, who
clad in his pantryman's costume, was
brought into the dining-room to sing
His rendition of operate selections
made a tremendous hit. John G.. Petit
designer of Dreamland, at Coney Is
land, was so impressed he declared he
would introduce the singer to Mr.. Har-
merStein.
Before coming to this country, Rich
ard, a fine looking Italian, sang tenor
parts In grand opera at Havana. On
his arrival here necessity made him
forsake his musical vocation for the
lowlier calling of wiping dishes for q
living.

OPERATOR GIVES LIFE
FOR THE PASSENGERS
George Eccles Stays by HIS Post
While Steamship Ohio
Is Going Down.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 31.-One man a
wireless operator, gave his life that
more than 200 might be saved yester-
day, hen George e. Eccles, of Seattle,
went down on the Alaska Steamship
company's steamer Ohio while sound
ing the &C. @. D." His calls for help
as his vessel was sinking brought the
Rupert City to the rock off Steep
point, In Hishkish narrows, British CO.

others were saved. Only one passen-
ger lost his life. The Ohio went down
within Is minutes after it struck. The

WANTS BENEFIT
OF TARIFF LAW
FOR STEEL men
Labor Leader Demands That
Government Interfere in Be-
half of Strikers.

Washington, Sept. THAT the Ia
borers employed by, the Pressed Steel
Car company at McKees Rocks, Pa,
the scene of the present strike, are not
paid the share to which they are en-
titled under the protective tariff sys-
tenn is asserted by Secretary Morrison.
of the American Federation OF Labor:
The charge is embodied in a request
forwarded by Mr.. Morrison to Secre-
tary Nagel for an investigation into
conditions Of McKees Rocks.
Mr.. Morrison takes the position that
as the company is enabled by the pro-
tective system to charge much higher
prices for its products than otherwise
1t would receive, the government is
under obligation to make inquiry for
the protection of the laborers. The re-
quest for the inquiry is based upon
section 8 OF the act OF February IA,
1908, which requires the secretary of
commerce and labor to make special
Investigations either Upon the request
of h president or either house OF
congress or pom his own initiative.
Conditions Are Bad.
In support of his contention that the
conditions are bad, Mr.. Morrison quotes
at length from a report regarding them,
made recently by Paul y. Kellogg. Mr..
Kellogg gives many instances of low
wage payments, and he says that the
iiSh SOillpldlh especially Una IIlcy arc
denied all mean of checking UP their
earnings. New piece rates are posted
as d the old system and the men
lain that the hourly rate Is not a
guaranteed minimum. 1t is asserted
that in one instance a man received
only 81 for three days work; that an
other worked IA days for SIS; that an
other worked 10 days for $3.50.
Rev. +. A. Toner, pastor of st. Maryss
Catholic church at McKees Rocks, is
quoted as saying that the conditions
under which the employees work and
live are such that they are, unfit for
publication"
Mr.. Morrison then enters his plea for
investigation on the ground that better
wages should be paid under our tariff
system.
Congress May Act.
Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 30.-Uncle Sans
searchlight, turned for the past few
days on the alleged peonage conditions
at the Pressed Steel Car company's
plant in ~Schoenville, in all probability
will cast a strong reflection into the
halls of the United States congress
when that body in December.
Glaringly excessive methods on the
part OF Chicago and New York employ
ment agencies towards strike breakers,
so forcibly brought to light in the
public investigation formally closed
Saturday afternoon, will, it is authori-
tatively stated, result in strong official
recommendations, for the passage of a
statute to act as a preventive of such
actions in the future,

MINERS REFUSE TO
USE FLAMELESS POWDER

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 1.-~Represent-
atives of coal operators and miners in
the Pittsburg district are in joint con
ference today for the purpose OF reach
ing an adjustment Of a dispute regard
ing the use Of a new explosive in min
ing coal.
The situation has reached a serious
stage during the last month. II is esti-
mated that more than 5000 miners are
idle in this vicinity as a result, of the
attempt by the operators to use a
flameless powder, and 1t is said other
mines will suspend operations unless
an agreement is reached soon.
Considerable difficulty will be ex-
perienced before the matter is set
tied, 1t is said, because the state au-
thorities have ordered the use of the
fiameless powder, while the miners
strenuously object to 1t, asserting that
it skaters the coal and reduces their
earnings.
