Vote on Question

DENVER, July 2S.-The convention
of the Western Federation of Miners
today indorsed the administration of
President Charles Meyer and approved
his annual report by vote of 223 to
70.
Following this, President Meyer Of
fered a motion authorizing the print
ing and distribution of 500 copies of the
statement submitted by P. W. Flynn

made in Meyers supplementary report.
This was opposed by Flynn, but Meyer
declared that he wanted the locals to
know the charges made by the Butte
leader, and the motion was carried by
practically the same vote.
The closing hours of today's session
were taken up with a discussion of the
question of what fee the parent or
ganization should take on the rein

constitution a reinstatement fee of 81

proposition was still undecided at the
hour of adjournment.

AT BEACH
LECTURE DELIVERED BY HON.
WEBSTER DAVIS
Huntington Beach Conference of
Young People Hears Address on
"A Visit to the ers."-Suc-
cessfII Meeting Promised

HUNTINGTON BEACH, July 23.-
The Epworth league convention which
is being held here is well attended
and promises to be one of the most
successful conventions held in South
ern California.
A Bible study was conducted by
John c. Hill this morning and ves-
per service was held at o'clock this
evening by the seaside.
Hon. Webster Davis delivered lee
ture in the evening on "A Visit to
the Boers." He spoke in part as fol-
lows:
"A more rugged, honest and kind
hearted people than the Beers never
lived. Every man was a hero and
every woman a heroine. In Pretoria
l saw Mrs. Reitz, the charming wife
of the secretary of state for the South
African republic, and Mrs. Groebler,
the wife of the secretary for foreign
women. day and night, in all kinds
of weather, going to the railroad sta
tion with food for the Boer soldiers
who were on their way to the front.
Il met one old lady, wrinkled and
white haired, sitting by the side of
her husband, who was wounded and
lying on a cot in one of the hospitals.
Sne MdS nursing MN anu trying "
help him recover sufficiently to re-
turn to his commando as soon as pos
sible. She told me her husband had
taken part in nine wars in South
Africa.
Tells of Brave Boy
zone day, riding along the veldt,
I met Boer heavily armed and boy
u years old riding by his side. He
said he was going to the prospective
battle on Tugela river. I asked why
he was taking his son with him. He
replied that his wife wanted him to,
so that if he was killed the boy could
take his place. l said to the little
fellow, Can you shoot?' oh, yes
said he I can shoot almost as well as
father, and if he is killed 1 will take
his gun
Brave were the ancient Greeks of
Athens and Sparta, who with their al
lies stood up to battle and to die to
defend themselves against Asiatic in
vasion; brave were Alexander the
Great and his Macedonians on the
battlefield of 1ssuS, where they won a
victory against overwhelming Odds
brave was the struggle of the Tyrol-
ese against the legions of Napoleon;
brave the stand made by the Switzers
for liberty against the Hapsburgs;
brave the wonderful charge of Pick
ett's men, and equally brave the de-
fense of the Union troops on the Grim
son heights Of Gettysburg; brave were
the heroic dead who fell at Salamis
and Marathon; brave, indeed, were the
famous three hundred at Thermopylae;
but equally brave, gallant and chival-
rous are the humble peasants of the
veldt, who defended the passes of
Drakenberg and sought death climo-
ing the rugged sides of Spion's Kop,
willing to die, if need be, to save their
beloved republic from the British yoke
of oppression.
These men had the same spirit that
prompted the farmers to face death
for liberty at Lexington Green, that
served the arms of the Americans at
Saratoga, Bunker Hill and Brandy
wine, that warmed the hearts of
washington and his shivering patriots
at Valley Forge"

HOUSTON, Tex, July 23.-Graphic
tales are told by those who were swept
from the TarpOn fishing pier off Gal
weston into the gulf and rescued cling
ing to bits of wreckage along the coast
near Morgan's point. Ray Teetshorn
of Houston says it was shortly after
midnight Wednesday that the first real
alarm for the safety of Bettison's s pier
was felt. Ten hours later the pier gave
way and the party of ten was cast into
the water.
Shortly before the building sank we
went to the roof" said Mr. Teetshorn.
"The building went down easy-in fact
simply crumbled into the water. Every
body scrambled for himself. l think
all of us started off on some Wreckage
and the wind and tide carried us
through the water, while the high sea
beat us and the rollers broke over and
beneath us.
"The first piece of wreckage I got
onto crumbled and broke, and l tished
around and finally got onto mattress,
which soon became water-soaked and
sank. Then l crawled onto a piece of
lumber about twelve feet long and l
stuck to this until picked up
Captain Bettison, who owned the
pier, was a cool fellow and went about
deliberately giving instructions when
the storm came up. With our life pre-
servers on, we went to the roof of the
pavilion to be prepared for the worst.
Bettison, the poor unfortunate, dis
carded his cork legs early in the day

FORMS FOR NOMINATION OF
CITY OFFICIALS ARE FILED
Petitioner Will Sign for Full List OF
Candidates, Except Councilmen
and School Trustees

City Attorney Hewitt yesterday filed
with the clerk a draft for the nom
ination petitions for city officials. The
form for the general ticket is likely to
create some comment, as all the city
offices except that of councilman are
on the one petition, There is no IN
dividual form for the mayor or the
city clerk or the city treasurer or any
other official. They all appear on one
form
The petitioner signing for one of the
forms signs for all the candidates on
that form. 1t will probably prove diff
fcult to get signatures to these petit
tions, but when the required number
have signed it will be positive evidence
that that number of persons want those
particular men to be the city officials,
There are separate forms for the
councilmen and also separate forms
for members of the board of education.
