part OF the original structure of Tam

PRESIDENT AND CABINET
USE SHEARS ON ESTIMATES

Washington, Oct 30.--A saving Of
nearly 10,OO0, 900 will be made in the
appropriations for the war department
as q result of the pruning of esti-
mates by the cabinet. The total appro-
priation for the current fiscal year
amounts to $146,9OO, 900, while the esti-
mates for the next fiscal year will ag-
gregate about $137 100000
The great saving will be in river
and harhor appropriations. For the
present year these aggregated $49,3S1,-
900, while the estimates provide for an
expenditure Of only $25, 100000.
The military establishment, includ-
ing the military academy and militia,
exclusive Of public works, Is allotted
about $4,000, 900, as against $97 $751;
900 for the current year, but this is
explained by the fact that the army
has been nearly seven thousand men
short OF its full quota.
The current years appropriations
carries items aggregating $8,00O.O00
for purely military public works, such
as army posts and the like. Next
years estimates will include similar
appropriations, but on reduced scale.

UNION CULPABILlTY
STRENUOUSLY DENIED

Los Angeles, Oct. 1.-The strike
committee of the metal trades, mem
bers of which have been on strike for
some months, issued the following
statement today:
"The union labor men in Los An
geles deplore deeply the loss of life
and injury in the explosion and fire at
the Times plant The unions declare
that the statement in the Times that
the explosion was caused by some per-
son or persons connected with organ
lied labor here or elsewhere is false.
Ever since the beginning of union
labor here, violence of every sort has
been condemned in public and private.
No union man has been permitted to
commit any act of violence, be it ever
so slight, nor have the unions failed
vigorously to demand that their mem
bers obey the laws.
1--WE believe that success can only be
won by peaceful reasoning and show
ing the laboring man his rights and
duties.
1--WE therefore deny unequivocally
that the unions or any union man in
our knowledge had anything to do with
any violence against the Times en-
ployes or property.
1--WE stand ready and willing to do
all in our power to aid in thorough
investigation of the explosion"

Cal. September 90. This is the only

Mexico at $3.50 this afternoon and was

ception of the strike many letters
threatening them with dynamite.
Only one among those first reported
missing has been found. This is v. B.
Glacier. The rest have persisted, it is
believed, almost without a doubt.
The building of the Baumgart Pub
fishing Company, adjoining the Times,
was also completely destroyed, togeth-
er with the plant of the Weekly
Graphic.
Wrapped with bandages and with his
hair and eyebrows singed off and his

CASES AGAINST HASKELL
DISMISSED BY COURT

McAlester, OKLA, Oct Federal
Judge Marshall has annulled the town
lot fraud charges against Gov. C. N.
Haskell and other defendants recent
ly discharged. The action followed
a conference of the attorneys for the
government to determine whether
they had sufficient evidence to con-
Wet. The virtual dismissal in all pro
liability will end the town lot fraud
trials.
Haskell made stubborn fight to
prevent the cases coming to trial but
was finally overruled. The action of
Judge Marshall in annulling the cases
is considered an indication that he
considered the evidence SO far pre-
sented as inconclusive. Witnesses
from several states had been sum
moned by the government.

RICH SYNDICATE STAKES
VAST COAL AREA

Vancouver, B. c., Oct. IA syndi-
cate formed by several Vancouver
business men and J. A. Moore of Sc
attic, and Andrew Laidlaw, of Spo-
kane, has staked more than $4,000
acres of rich coal lands at the north
ern end of Graham island, one of the
Queen Charlotte Island group and
about eighty miles out from Prince
Rupert.
Reports of engineers say there is
enough coal on the property to last for
700 years, producing 1000 tons per
day. The syndicate has formed close
corporation known as the Queen Char.
lotte Island Galleries, capitalized at
$1,OOO,OOO. The sum of $4,000 is to
be spent at once in the construction
of collieries and it is the intention to
proceed with great deal of develop
ment work next season.
The limits were first staked more
than six months ago and in order to
get first on the field the stakers for
the syndicate chartered all the steam
ers running to the islands from Prince
Rupert, and then made the journey
themselves in. small launch, nearly
drowning on the passage. Had they
ventured to take out any of their own
chartered boats it would have been
impossible to keep the other miners
heading for Graham Island from climb.
ing on board.
After a perilous passage the party
reached Masset Harbor and did their
stalking, getting it completed about the
time that the charters ran out and the
rush of coal prospectors began. There
are large outcroppings on the prop
erty and the limits are said to be Of
very great value. The coal is of ex-
cellent bituminous quality, being suit
able for both commercial and domestic
use.
