some respects superior to anything
they had before seen.
Commenting on the camp In a gen
eral way, Henkel Smith, who was
very busy during his stay of three
days and utilized every possible mo-
ment in getting around, had to say
on departing that he was greatly
gratified with the progress that had
been made in the year since his last
visit and felt more enthusiastic than
ever about the camp. There will be
many more mines made here" he
said, land much more steam shovel
ground developed. The camp has a
great future. Many more people will
be required here as time passes to do
the work of the district and the fine
headway that East Ely has been max
ing convinced me more than ever
that it will be a very large center OF
population"
Regarding the object of the trip I;
was the general expression of the Wis
itors that they were out to see what
was being done and to form opinions
therefrom as to what might be ex-
pected from the future. While il

was that upon the summing up OF
their findings with regard to the
several properties they visit would
depend a good deal in relation to
expenditures for increased facilities
and larger work in future.
Optimism prevailed =" ; party
as to the future of copper, and par
ticularly the porphyry coppers. Mr.

declaring that in .ue big, low grade

the logical outcome and he believed

FEDERATION
SESSION IS
UNDERWAY

TORONTO, Nov. 8.-Canada today
extended warm welcome to rep
resentatives of organized labor, who
have come the length and breadth
of the continent to attend the twen-
ty-ninth annual convention of the
Federation of Labor.
The report of President Samuel
Gompers, always awaited with inter
est, was more eagerly anticipated to-
day than ever before in the twenty
seven years of his leadership.
Moreover, it is for this convention
to decide whether the case involving
contempt proceedings and which was
recently decided against Messrs.
Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison,
shall be appealed to the United
States supreme court.
Mr. Gompers' four months trip
abroad, investigating the, conditions
prevailing in the foreign labor fields,
is expected to result in recommends
tions from him as to the wisdom of
affiliating with labor organizations
abroad, with view to eventually es-
tablishing an international fedora
tion.
President Gompers called the con-
vention to order and later responded
to a welcoming address. Today's s
program included, besides Mr.. Com
pers' report, those of Secretary Nor
rison, treasurer, Lennon and the
committee on credentials. All Joined
in showing the Federation in good
physical form.

BIG HOLD
UP DONE
IN EAST
Fifty Men Marched and
Robbed. Left Bound
Robbers Get Long Start

PATTERSON, N. j., Nov. S.-Fifty
trolley laborers neatly and expedite
ously held up and robbed of all the
valuables they possessed by four bold
bandits last night was an extraordi-
nary feat, which has amazed the po-
lice of this city. Although the hold
up occurred at 8 o'clock last night
no word of it reached this city until
o'clock this morning, and the
bandits, who got $146S.51 in cash
and a peck of watches and odd bits
of jewelry, had all that start to cover
their trails. The police are still max
ing diligent search for them, how
ever.
The robbery occurred on the line
of the new trolley line that will run
between Paterson and Suffern. A
gang of so workmen employed in
building the road live in shanty.
The so workmen were in the
shanty at o'clock last night when
the highwaymen appeared at the
door. They asked for the boss, and
when the foreman came out two Of
the bandits led him aside on some
pretext or other while the other two
remained to guard the door.
When the foreman had gone a
short distance from the sAanty he
was secured and dragged to shed.
There he was bound and gagged and
his pockets empted of money and
jewelry. This done, the highway
men went back to the shanty. Then
one by one the SO men were called
out, seized and dragged to the shed
tor the same treatment their foreman
had received. Not until the last of
the so had been bound and robbed
did the highwaymen cease their
bandits stood over them with two re-
in the task and not a copper was
left in the clothing of the victims.
None of the bound men dared
to move while his companions were
being bound, as always one of the
bandits stood over him with two re-
volvers.
The highwaymen had long start
through the woods before their vic
tins succeeded in unbinding one
another and starting in pursuit. They
did not get word of the robbery to
Paterson police until 5 o'clock this
morning.

BANK OF ELY 0UT--COPPER
NATIONAL TAKES ITS PLACE

The Bank of Ely, long at the front
in the district as its leading financial
institution, yesterday ceased exist
ence, in point of name, when it was
succeeded by the Copper National
Bank of East Ely.
The change from State to National
bank organization was decided upon
some months ago, since which the
various steps necessary to the change
have been in progress. Last Satur-
day the final authority was received
from Washington, following exam
nations made by various bank in
spectors and other authorities whose
services are required in the checking
over of funds and securities of bank
ing institutions entering the Ma
tional list. 1t is known that follow
ing these examinations very high
praise was passed upon the condition
of the Bank of Ely, which now stands
among the foremost in the west in
point of strength as the Copper Ma
tional Bank.
Passing of the old name of the
Bank of Ely carries with it many rec
objections and much of important
history in connection with the ad-
vancement of the district. Through
this bank nearly all of the big trans
actions of the camp have been car
ried to their successful conclusion.
1t carried the construction funds of
Nevada Consolidated, Steptoe Val
ley Smelling & Mining, Cumberland
Ely and the Nevada Northern, and
continues to carry the operating
funds of these companies, their pay
rolls now falling to the Copper Ma
tional.
The new name corresponds with
that of the new Copper National
Bank of Salt Lake, with which East
Ely Copper National interests are
largely identified. Salt Lake Copper
National will be the strongest f1nan-
cial institution in the west, while
East Ely Copper National is the
strongest in Eastern Nevada. AS their
names signify, the mining and
smelling industries will receive par
ticular attention from these banks.
In the East Ely bank the reorganiza-
tion has made no change in directors
or officers and the home organization
will continue, as in the past with the
excellent service which has built its
business to the present splendid pro-
portions.

Tenor Returns, Speaking Perfect
English in "Cussing" Collar.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-With
the appearance of prefect health,
looking stouter, but declaring that
he weighs many pounds less than
when he sailed for Europe, Enrico
Caruso arrived here on the Kron-
princess Cecile today. He said the
fullness of his face was entirely due
to the very tight collar he wore,
which he "cussed" in perfect English
that surprised those who recalled the
difficulty he had had in making him
self understood in this tongue a year
ago.
Caruso says he is in better voice
right now than he ever has been. He
said his reception abroad was moth
ing short of an ovation everywhere
he appeared. Sunday he won the
ships pool on the days run, and his
guess of 562 knts netted him $400
Half of this sum he donated to the
Seamen's Fund.

NOT AN HONORABLE SUICIDE.
Woman So Depraved as to
Hang Herself.

BELLINGHAM, Wash, Nov. s.
Because his wife killed herself by
hanging instead of committing hari-
kari, Umekichi Mitsu, wealthy jap
anese, faced murder charge yester-
day, but was released today after 6
verdict of suicide had been rendered
by coroner's jury.
Mitsu testified that he had con-
cealed the suicide to prevent the dis
grace which must fall on his sons in
Japan should it be learned that the
mother had hanged herself. He
asked that the cause of death be re-
corded as Suicide" eliminating
mention of the manner, so that his
relatives in Japan might take it for
granted that the woman had disem-
boweled herself and thus gained
honor instead of incurring disgrace

A Can and Gown Revolt.

The Washington legislature has
passed a law requiring judges in that
state to wear a p and gowns, but the
county judge of Snohomish county
balks on the mother hubbard and in
sists on displaying his roof garden
skating rink as an evidence of having
reached the years of wisdom.
In the first place, the county judge
holds the law unconstitutional and
void because it compels him to use his
own money to purchase the judicial
regalia, and further because it violates
the constitutional. provision against
cruel and unusual punishment. 1t is
hot where the judge resides and he in
sists that If the legislators impeach
him and sit in judgment on him they
shall comply with the law and don
the cap and gown, confident this or
deal will make his case.
The judges objections may be irrel-
evant, immaterial, not responsive and
a few other things which lawyers in
corporate in their list, but really has
not the Washington legislature gone
too far when it attempts to regulate
sartorial affairs? How would a cap
and gown with the musty odor of the
ages help adjudicate dog fights, line
fence disputes. horse trades and the
hundred and one little differences that
come before county judges? Even in
the highest tribunals 1t requires more
than a black gown and a mortar board
hat to dignity the occupant of the
bench. The judicial role is entirely
too thin a veil to hide human foiblet
and weaknesses and leaves no impress
on the printed page which is handed
down as a guide to the future.

The miseries of the heated term in
a great city can never be appreciated
by those who have never experienced
It. The telegraph tells of deaths from
heat, people sleeping on sidewalks and
in the parks, but this conveys only a
fractional idea of the misery in con-
gested sections of great cities. There
is no such thing as vacations for these
people, for their very existence de-
ponds upon their remaining and work.
ing. Talk of moving them to the
country is idle, for in the big city is
the only work they know how to do
and efforts to induce them to move
have always been futile.
The only thing hat can be done is
to make their lot more tolerable, and
in this respect the United States is far
behind Europe. More stringent tene-
ment laws have abolished the worst
death traps in which the poor form
erly lived, but the best of our tene-
ments are still deficient in the light
and air essential for physical welfare.
Berlin's laws prescribe that not more
than two-thirds Of each lot shall be
built on and building regulations con-
tain stringent provisions for santa
ton. other great European cities have
vigorously taken hold of the problem
and even in London, with all the Eng
lishman's aversion to state activity,
wonders have been accomplished in
recent years.
Americans are gradually waking up
to the fact that the comfort of the
people is vital to all and the suffering
entailed by one of these hot waves
can be mitigated in many ways by
systematic and cooperative effort.

they thought some rock on which they

Of those who possess them are the deepest

But our country is full OF young men and

perhaps from our colleges. The have been

a different thing in the church and Sunday

since they, like myself, would rather have
