The liberous statement. according
to the indictment. appeared under the
heading: "Steenerson Soon to Hare

IT Congressman Steenerson has any
real solicitude for American labor. II
he is in truth not throwing dust in the
eyes of his constituents by declaiming
against coolie labor, he will soon have
an opportunity to show his sincerity.
If he desires to supplant coolie labor

'Ts man fit to hold public ONCE
that will deliberately prevert and ma

that he is not-that such man is dis
honest and an enemy to his country
and his country's best interests and
that he and men like him are constant
menaces to American progress at

such in congress but there will always
be found few and the Ninth district

McCleary said that his interest In
ship subsidy dated back to the time
when he was member Of the house
and an Official in the postofiice depart
ment and had difficulty in getting mail
handled in American bottoms. He ad-
mitted that he had delivered number
Of addresses on the subject Of ship

Leavitt, the artist, here last night dis.
cussing for the first time since they
began his family difficulties. The no.

He declared that under the Ne.

Neither can a divorced woman re-
marry inside Of two years. He de-
clares that all along during his alb

He says Bryan practically asked
him to marry Ruth. He said his mar

COAL OPERATORS DEMAND
RIGHT TO REMOVE MEN AT
WILL; MINERS WANT TO KNOW
CAUSES FOR SUCH ACTION.

Des Moines, April 29.-(Special.)- y
The operators and miners got into an
other deadlock today over the demand
made by the operators that they re-
tain the right to discharge and employ
miners as they saw fit. The miners
claimed that the operators have no
right to discharge men unless for spe.
cific causes anu that then the miners
Investigate the case.
Time Clause at Issue.
Determination on the part of the
coal operators Of Iowa to make no
concessions to their employees other
than the advance in wages demanded
by the miners national union, yes
terday afternoon made the work of ar
ranging new wage contract slow
task. The demand of the miners to
remove clause from the old con-
tract, which makes it possible for
deadlocked the joint scale committee.
The bone Of contention is the clause
in the fourth general resolution Of
the contract which refers to heavy
falls Of slate between the inside props
and the face of the room. The miner
is required to notify the mine fore
man in such cases and the nece' AIRY
labor shall be furnished by the COM
pany for the removal of the fallen
slate. In the old agreement 1t Is pro-
vided that If the fall is not removed
and the place properly secured within
twenty-four hours, the miners affected
shall be given employment until the
fall has been removed.
Want No Delay.
The miners wish to strike out the
words "twenty-four hours" so htat
when such falls Of slate occur they
may not be required to remain idle
twenty-four hours. In some Of the
mines the custom IS already in force.
The miners wish the condition to be
made universal The operators who
already observe the miners wish in
the matter do not oppose making the
custom a law. Those who do not OBJ
serve it refuse to allow the striking
out of the time clause.

after the alarm was sounded, never
thought that the fremen would be
able to cope with the flames but
they worked like beavers and were
commended on all sides for putting up
such marvellous fight with the odds
against them.
How the fire originated is a mys-
terry to Mr.. Kidd of the drug company
and the occupants Of the second story.
This is the second time the structure
has been on fire, the roof being found
ablaze one afternoon last fall, but the
fire was extinguished before any dam
age was done.
Very little Of the drur stock was
saved. Some Of the cans Of turpentine
and paint in the srear of the store
were carried out besides several boxes
of cigars and a part of the soda foun-
tain. o Owing to the danger Of the
cupofa on the northwest corner Of the
building falling, those who were will
ing to help were prevented from as
sisting by the danger Of the falling
embers. Nothing in the the upper
story was saved until the ffremen had
gotten the flames under control.
