lured many northwestern farmers to
their doom at the notorious Guinness
farm" near La Porte, Ind, after three
years disappearance is believed to be

Kirby declares that his brothers
movements during the past few
months, inspired he believes, by the
woman who is his housekeeper, have
been toward putting in cash all his
property in view OF "trip to Califor-
nia." This action is closely in line
with Mrs. Guinness reputed poicy
in securing worldly wealth of her
vi inns, and the alleged physical sim

keeper and the missing La Porte fu-
gitiye have convinced the Mankato
man and the Indiana police.

meanwhile the suspected woman Is

FEDERATION
TO VOTE ON
BANK BILL

DENVER, Feb. 16.-Shall the
Western Federation of Miners affil-
late with the American Federation OF
Labor?" is a question to be submit
ted to a referendum vote, probably
within a week.
This step Is recommended by a
special committee appointed at the
last Federation convention to inves-
tigate the proposal. The committee
was headed by Charles B. Meyer,
president of the Federation.
In its report, just completed, the
special committee urges the exeeu-
tive committee to take immediate ac-
tion in submitting the matter to a
vote of members of the organization.
Closer affiiliation with the United
Mine Workers of America is said to
be the real object of the movement.
The effect will probably be working
agreement whereby the United Mine
Workers will be given jurisdiction
over all the coal miners and the
w estern Federation Jurisdiction over
all the metaliferous miners.

Root Clause Will Be Fatal

Increased immigration

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Unless
Senator Root can be induced to with
draw or materially modify his amend
ment to the Postal Savings bank bill.
requiring the investment of postal
deposits in United States bonds, that
measure will PROBABLY be defeated
in the senate. The friends of the
bill today practically admit this to
be the situation.
All of the administration bills, 1t
was fixed today, providing for the
conservation of natural resources,
will be considered by sub-commit-
tee of the Senate committee on pub
lie lands, to be composed of Senator
Smoot, chairman, Clarke of Wyo-
ming, Nixon, Chamberlain and
Hughes.
The immigration bureau report,
submitted today. urges that the ex-
clusion laws be merged into the gen.
eral immigration law, so that the ad-
ministrative process of expulsion
therein provided may be used.
There are also number of other
recommendations which the Commits
sioner says may be considered revo-
lutionary. but are regarded as nec-
essary if the law is to be effective
and satisfactory.
immigration, which during 1909
fell off from the two previous years,
the Commissioner says, is reassum-
ing normal proportions. The months
of January to June, 1903, however,
showed increases over the same
months of 1908 which is attributed
by the Commissioner principally to
the fact that those interested in steer
age passenger carrying have traded
upon and magnified beyond all rea-
sonable limits the Improvement in
Industrial conditions to encourage
emigration.
Reference Is made again to the
interesting and important economic
promlem arising from the fact that q
very large proportion of immigra-
tion is coming from Southern and
Eastern Europe, those countries fur
nishing about 81 per cent of the i'm
migrants. The continuance of this
, problem arising from the fact that a

BUTTE IS
CLOSED BY
ENGINEERS.
But Four Shafts Worked
Yesterday--These Will
Probably Close Today

BUTTE, Mont, Feb. 10.-Failing
TO obtain from the mine owners of
the district certain concessions I'm the
matter of jurisdictional disputes, 80
per cent of the hoisting engineers em-
ployed at the Butte mines deserted
their posts this morning.
As result of the walkout, a shut
down of ali mining operations in the
Butte district IL threatened. The
men involved are members of the In
ternational Engineers Union No.
I3S.
Operations were continued today
In but four of the Amalgamated
Company's properties, the Silver
Bow, the Berkley. Mountain and
Buffalo. Six hundred miners were
lowered into these mines this morn
ing. The next shift was composed
of fewer men, as some of the night
engineers did not report for duty
this afternoon. One man Is working
at the Neversweat All the other
mines of the district are tied up, and
Indications tonight are that tomor-
row will witness a complete close
down.
The walkout so far has been af-
fected without the least disturbance.
At the end OF the night shift the en-
gineers merrily gathered up their be-
longings this morning and left. In
most instances, the engineers who
usually followed on the day shift did
not report for duty and the miners
who had gathered at the shafts TO
go on shift were turned OF for the
day. Inc same manner of proceed
ings prevailed this afternoon when
the next shift came on.

SALT LAKE, Feb. 16.-Blowing
at the rate of a mile a minute, one
of the worst windstorms that has
ever visited the vicinity of the Great
Salt Lake, did damage estimated at
between $4,000 and $4,000 at the
Saltair resort last night.
This same wind, which was at its
height in Salt Lake City shortly
after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
worked considerable damage in the
city. while blowing at less velocity
than at the lake, probably AS miles
an hour.
During the short time that the
cyclonic wind ragged at Saltair 200
bathhouses extending into the lake
were completely demolished. These
lighthouses composed the northwest
pier. A crew of men went to the
lake to move the lighthouses at the
far end of the pier over to the east
side. They had scarcely commenced
their work when the wind and the
heavy waves wrecked the pier.
