| IN the bull pen Of Boise for nearly
eleven months. during which time the
Supreme Court rushed to the assist
ancc of the mine owners of Colorado.
I by declaring the kidnapping of the
three labor LADDERS legal Warren
sprung his famous reward of s1.OUy
Tor The bringing to justice Of ex+Gov-
ernor Taylor, OF Kentucky.
AS Warren explained. through the
columns of the Appeal to Reason. he
had nothing whatever against Gov.
ernor Taylor. who was then a fugitive
from justice from his native state.
where he was wanted on the charge
OF numbering Gobel. Taylor was In
hiding in Indiana. and the Appeal to
Reason offered $1,000 to the person
who will kidnap Ex-Governor Taylor
and return him TO the state offictaI of
Kentucky in order to test the Su.
preme Court. and see whether IL would
hold kidnapping legal in the case of 4
capitalist and : an ex-governor. The
facts in the case. Warren pointed out,
were exactly the same. Taylor was
under the same charges as were
! Meyer. Haywood and Pettibone: II
kidnapping was legal in their case it
ought to be legal in the case of Tay
| lor.
fms printed offer OF $1,000 for the
kidnapping of Taylor through The
columns of the Appeal to Reason was
next made by Warren through circu
lar ,leNbers. $4,000 o. (which werE
mailed from the Office OF the Appeal
On the envelope of each Of these
letters was the following inscription.
lone thousand dollars reward will
be paid TO any person who ktdnaps
Ex-Governor Taylor and returns him
to the Kentucky authorities
These letters were mailed OH jan
uary IL. 1907. On May 4. of the same
year. or nearly four months later. p
United States postofilce inspector
called at the Appeal Office with war
rant for the arrest of Warren on the
charge Of having sent "scurrilous. de-
famatory and threatening matter
Though the United States mails.
The matter referred to. was the let,
ter offering the reward. Warren was
} out of town. and May S-the day
when the trial of Moyer. Haywood an
Fettibone began-Warren was ar
rested
He asked for an Immediate trial
; but this was denied. and he was or
dered to appear at the November term
He did SO. He appeared at Fort Scott
y Kan. with lis attorneys, ready for
trial. But the government. who was
the prosecutor in the case, suddenly
found that it was mot ready. and
asked that a postponement be taken
until the May term OF 1908.
In the fall of 1905 there WAS 10 be 2
presidential election. To nave tried
Warren in May would mean to give
the Socialists OF America ample time
, to impress certain lessons upon the
minds of the working people. which
might have It telling effect upon tne
Socialist vote in November. Tie so~
ernmcnt at Washington knew this
only too we'll. Hence it was not ready
this time. either. The prosecution, that
is. the government of the United
States, asked for a postponement, and
was granted postponement until NO
vember 6. 1905. which was immediate
IL after the election. when the workers
wonld have found years to forget am
hypocriticaI act that might be com
mItted upon a man who was fghtins

FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL,
STOCK SUPPLY INCREASED.
Profits on Speculative Holdings Be-
come More Attractive.

New York, March 3.-Operators in
stocks still found their advantage to-
day in working for higher prices The
supply of stocks for sale was increas-
ed as the level of the market rose
and the profits on speculative holdings
became more attractive. The effect
of this was to cause some hesitancy
in the price movement and a final
comprehensive reaction; but the man
ner- in which the profit taking was
absorbed was regarded as encourag-
ing in itself.
United States Steel was the spine
of the market. That stock was taken
in very large amounts to the accom-
paniment of various rumors put out
without stated authority. For in
stance, it was asserted that extra div
idends would be declared in success
sive quarters of IA per cent. in addi-
ton to the existing 1 per cent. quar-
terly rate; providing it was plausibly
added, no disaster shall overtake the
trade during the current year. AIS
the last dividend declared of L per
cent. with 81 per cent. extra does not
come off the stock until the 18th of
the present month, the speculation to-
day based on these rumors will be seen
to be we'll in advance of the event.
Conditions in the steel trade were de-
clared to be improving Something
was made, also. of the personality OF
recently elected directors of the cor
poration, as showing a representation
on that board of independent steel
companies that argues further har-
nomination of the control of the in
dustry. The news of the withdrawal
of John d. Rockefeller, Jr., from the
Standard Oil board was cited to prove
that his withdrawal from the United
States Steel board need have no sin
lister significance. The strength
shown for two days in the outside
market of the stocks of the American
Tobacco and the Standard Oil COM
panies was made much of, as proving
that inside interests in these corpora
lions were free from anxiety over the
outcome of the government suits
against them. The mood of hopeful
ness was fostered by the increasing
number of bond issues being offered
by bankers. These offerings were
taken as an index of an improvement
in the investment situation and as a
curities markets in general on the part
of the great banking powers which
are undertaking, this financing. The
prices at which new bonds are being
offered illustrates the necessity still Of
attractive return in order to enlist
new capital. The prevailing mood of
the speculation was seen in the ignor-
ing of such items of news as the call
ing of a general strike in Philadelphia
and the rejection of the Baltimore &
Ohio's offer to it's employees of wage
terms. The destructive storm block
AIDES in the northwest were without
apparent influence Neither was any
attention paid to the reports Of cur
tailment amongst southern cotton
mills.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par
value s2,7Se, 900. United States threes
declined IA per cent. on call.

TROLLEY LEAGUE MEETING
In MiddIetown This Afternoon--Denny
Hayes to Represent Norwich.

Manager Denny Hayes of the Nor
witch team in the new Connecticut
Baseball association, has received no
tice from Secretary George J. Fisher
that there will be a meeting of the
Trolley league" in Middletown this
afternoon at O'Clock. Manager Hayes
will attend.
The meeting wilyl be one of import
ance, and there are so many matters
to be considered that the magnates
will have to hustle t.. get through. A
preliminary report will undoubtedly
be made on a. schedule which calls for
so games. The matter of admitting
several other teams to the league will
also be acted upon.
Thursday evening was a regular
corker for the Willimantic baseball
fans and Mayor Dunn was kept busy
as his office answering queries rel
alive to the new league and also get
ting into an argument. now and then
with some overexcited fan who seemed
to think that the great game was ac-
tually being played. Charles Gleason
recently brought in a man who was
introduced as shortstop to the presi-
dent, but turned out to be a second
baseman. Danny did not hire the
protege that Gleason had been keeping
his eyes upon and consequently
Charles did not get into the heat of
the baseball arguments quite as much
as usual, but said Just wait. I'll be
at the games, all right, all right and
won't occupy a reserved seat in the
knockers corner, either"

TALKING ROAD RECORDS.
Is HiIton's la Fast Between Norwich
and New London?

With Marathon race planned in
the New London armory for the 18th
of this month. and Captain Wicks of
the state hospital and Thomas Tucl1ey
of UncaSville both waiting for a
chance to do the run from New Lon
don to Norwich to beat Kilton's time
of 1 hour A minutes, there is plenty
of running talk circulating In sport
ing circles just about now, which
promises to result in something inter
esting happening when the roads set
tie down this spring so that a runner
won't have to plough through mud.
Just at the present time the Norwich
New London turnpike is reported as
almost passable for automobiles by
machine men who were out on it on
Thursday, so that there seems small
chance for Wicks to go over the course
on Saturday as had been hoped.
Some lively arguments as to whether
Hilton's time ought really to be con-
sidered fast have been fought out
when the sports got to talking, and
there are any number who have said
that it wasn't 50 much to brag Of and
that it wouldn't be much of a. feat to
Norwich bulletin., 1910-03-04

beat it. Records for other runs of
about the same length have been quot
ed to prove the point but the Hilton
crowd retorts by saying that the
knockers must show them before they
will admit that it can be beaten with
ease. They give the other side the
ha, ha, when IA or Is mile records for
other courses are produced in COMPARE
son. What they want is to see some
one who will go over this course and
dem onstrate what the time ought to be
to be called fast.
Sure it is that any runner who wants
to go the route needs to avoid such a
handicap as wet and soggy, roads
would be, and as soon as the condi-
tons are right we can expect to hear
of attempts to lower the record. So
far all the runners are coming from
this end of the county. 1t seems about
time that the New London long dis
lance men should wake UP and not let
all the road honors be worn here with
out a struggle.

Westerly, March 3-There had to be
a substitution in the main bout at the
Pawcatuck armory this evening, but
the card altogether gave the crowd its
moneys worth. Stranger Coleman,
who was booked for a finish bouth with
Jack McGrath. the Irish Giant, of Nor
wich failed to appear, and also sent no
excuse, so after waiting for some time
Bill Collins of Central Village agreed
to go on with McGratll. Bill was in
great condition and put up a. strong
defense against McGrath, but was
thrown three times inside of an hour.
McGrath got the first fall in 20 min
utes on head scissors, the second in
Is minutes on a double elbow roll, and
the third in Ia 12 minutes on a bar
and arm hold. Collins showed himself
in prime condition to meet Abe the
Newsboy at Willimantic tomorrow

night. Joe Rivers was referee, and
Mcknight timekeeper.
The big crowd was kept on edge by a
hard hitting six round boxing match
between Billy Allen of Norwich and
Abe the Newsboy of New London. Both
boxers forced the pace from the start,
and in the fourth Allen staggered the
NewSboy with a couple ON the jaw.
Abe c1incfed and saved himself from
the knockout that the crowd was yell
ing for. Mcknight was referee, Rivers
timer; McGrath seconded Allen and
Buck Falvey was in Abe's corner.
In the preliminary wrestling match
Jack Spilane won two falls in Is min
utes on AL O'Connell. d.
Announcement was made thaat Billy
Allen would box Buck FaIvey in two
weeks and Collins would wrestle the
Butcher Boy.

Auto for Best eatsmen.

The best batsman in the two ma tor
leagues this year will DE presented
with an automobile. A Detroit COM
pany has offered one of their best cars
to the major. Lacquer who has the
highest batting average for the season.
Last season Ty Cobb of Detroit was
the premier batsman of both leagues,
ond. Both players are automobile en-
thusiasts and will make a strong bid
for the new prize. If they keep up
their gait it seems likely that one OF
these two players will get the ma
chine.
