MOVERS SUGGESTION
CALLED |MPRACT|CABLE
UNION OWNERSHIP OF MINES
AND SHELTERS.
Western Federation Propose to Go In
to Los Angeles Politics.

Mute. Mont, July 25-The Western
Federation Of Miners i'm convention to-
day pronounced the suggestion of Pres
ident Meyer in favor of the ownership
Oh mines and smelters by the labor or
ganizatiOn as impractiCable. Meyer, in
his annual report, suggested that if
some of the immense sums expended in
strikes were directed to acquiring in
terests in mining and smelling proper
ties, the movement would have a great
tendency to obviate the necessity of
strikes. The committee to which the
matter was referred reported that the
move would be impracticable.
1T cost the Butte miners union $4,000
to learn that it is impracticable for the
union to run a cooperative coal busi-
ness here" declared Delegate Frank
.Curran. "They put us out of business
for the reason that the railroads would
not give us the same transportation
rates as dealers"
The committee on strikes and lock-
outs reported in favor of extending ev-
cry aid possible to the striking work
iers on the aqueduct at Los Angeles, and
to give every aid possible to tho move
ment to change the city administra-
tion at the municipal election to be held
there this fall. 1t declared that the
present administration is antagonistic
to the labOring class and to labor or
ganizations.

SPRECKUES FAMILY.
While Trying To Control Conduct of
Philadelphia Refinery.

New York, July 25-Before conclud-
ing its New York sessions and return
ing to Washington this afternoon, the
congressional committee investigating
the so-called sugar trust, heard Claus
\. Spreckles accuse II. .. HIVemeyer
and the American Sugar Refining COM
pany interests of causing the break
which existed between him and his
father and brother fifteen years.
Il was manager of the Spreckles Re
finery at Philadelphia" said Spreckles,
"and after the American Sugar Refin-
ing company acquired a strong minor
ity interest it in, they tried t. dictate
its policy. ! refused TO be dictated to,
and they carried stories to my father
in San Francisco which caused me to
leave the refinery. and brought about
a break in the family relations between
my father, my brother and myself
But year before my father died
he called me to him and said he had
been imposed upon and that my con-
duct of the Philadelphia refinery had
been justified
Spreckles submitted evidence in let
ter signed II. o. which he said was
from Havemeyer. 1t urged him to get
all he could for sugar and asked him to
do nothing foolish about selling re-
fined" below the price asked by the
American. He also presented three let
ters from John +. Searlcs. then treas
urer-secretary of the American, indi-
eating that the company had fixed GER
tain prices for sugar on certain dates
and asking Spreckles to see that his
refinery did not undcrsell those prices
The committee will meet in Wash
ington next Monday. The sub-com-
mittee appointed to examine the books
and records of the American Sugar Re
filming company will probably employ
experts within a few weeks and be
ready to report to the general commit
tee early i'm the fall.

BUT STEELMEN HAD ORAL UN-

The Formal Written Agreement Made
Them Restless.

Washington, July 25.-That through
oral agreements the steel manufac-
turcrs now keep up prices and avoid

fectively as they did under the iron

Iron and Steel company before the

The witness said that from time t.
time one manufacturer will say to
another. MY price will be so ard 50

no general agreement. There ! a
feeling among the companies how
ever" he said. that nothing is to be
done to iniure fellow manufacturers
without giving notice"
Huston said the steel plate asso-
citation was organized to obtain rea-
sonable prices The association not
only fixed prices. he asserted. but
allotted a certain proportion OF the
production to each of it's eleven
constituent companies. The witness
said the organization was abandoned
in 1904 because there was so much
"restlessness and uneasiness and talk
about it's illegality."
Huston identified a printed copy
Of the original agreement, all copies
of which were supposed to have been
burned in 1900 under his direction be-
cause it was mot in proper form

WILLING TO SURRENDER
Anything to Avoid Creation of New
Peers.

London, July 25-Anothcr exciting
day with political conferences. party
caucuses and ministerial visits to the
king left the constitutional crisis no
nearer a solution than yesterday
The session of the house of commons
today was not important but much heat
and bitterness was displayed.
The most important event of the day
was the publication of a letter which Mr..
Balfour wrote Lord Newton in reply

the trip in a barrel on October "a,
1901 and came out alive.
Harrassed by the police on both
sides of the river, Leach was forced
this afternoon To make his start
from La Sale two miles and a half
above the cataract on the United
States side. Two men placed him
in the barrel, a steel affair, eleven feet
long with the ends of wood. Leach
was hung in canvas hammock,

Within 200 yards of the brink
it struck hard against a rock and

NEBRASKA BRETHREN
DWELT IN HARMONY
ALL THINGS LEADING TO DIS
AGREEMENT is AVOID
Nobody Given Endorsement in the
Democratic Plat
form.

Fremont. Neb.. July 26.-The Ne
braska democratic convention, con-
trary to expectations, failed to place
the democrats on record as to their
preference for a presidential candi-
date year hence, or to offer COM
mendations for their own leaders.
For the most part it was a peace
ful gathering and the general harmony
program which had been mapped out
was carried into effect without a
greater hitch than to have an indi-
vidual delegate ask the convention to
go on record as TO presidential candi-
dates. He was ruled out of order
by the chairman The result seemed
satisfactory to everybody.
Governor Harmon had a personal
representative at the convention but
he soon made it plain that his princi-
pal business was to get acquainted
and look over the western field. No
attempt was made to present the name
of the Ohio governor for endorse
ment. The platform reaffirms al
legiance to the principles of the party
as contained in the national platform
of 1908, and cOngratulates the nation
on the fact that democratic principles
are rapidly winning favor in all sec
tions of the country with fair minded
men in all parties and it continues:
The record made by congress is proof
that democracy is entitled to rule
because of the high ideals of govern
ment ii stands for.
I'VE regret that there is not a
democratic president and a democratic
senate to make possible the beginning
Of tariff revision by striking the first
blow at the protection now accorded
all trust products in the present tariff
| hill.
we point to the Taft reciprocity
measure as proof that the republican
party is now abandoning even the
ipretense of its protective policy for the
benefit of the American farmer. The
democratic free list hill is proof that
our party has taken the first steI
in the direction and can be trusted
when given power to reduce the tariff
which feeds the trusts and fatten:
them at the expense of farmers Of

REPRlMANp FOR WILEY.
Nothing Worse To Happen To Chief
Chemist.

Washington, ID. c., July 25-Secre-

papers in the case of DR.. Harvey Wiley

He refused to say what recommen-

regarding the charges against the pure
food expert whose resignation from the
service has been recommended.
Secretary Wilson declared, however
that there would be no clash between
him and the president, because, if the
he made today are
not agreeable to the president, he could
change them.
1t is inferred from this that the rec
are not favorable to

KELLEY ON THE STAND
Lorimer's Counsel Secures
His Admission That
Whites Confession OBJ
tanned Credence Only in
the Chicago Tribunes

Washington, July 25.-Jamcs Kee-
ley. general manager Of the Chicago
Tribune was subjected today to a fire
of questions from Elbridge Hanecy,
attorney for Senator Lorimer. about
his testimony yesterday before the
senate Lorimer committee and when
the committee adjourned the cross
examination had not been concluded.
The session was replete with sharp
passages between Attorney Hanecy
and the witness. At the adjournment
Attorney Hanecy was directing Kee-
leys' attention to vouchers submit
ted to show that the Tribune spent
$4,000 investigating Whites confess
sion.
Did you know Mike Link had been
in an insane asylum before he was
elected to the legislature" asked Ha-
necy, when Links name came up.
Il never heard it until you uttered
it just now"
Here are all the bills of John c.
O'Laughlin" began Hanecy next. He
is a former assistant secretary of
state and l suppose a highly paid man,
isn't he2"
He is our representative in Wash
ington and for his high priced work
he gets a high price"
OLaughlin's bills amounted to ST.
321 Of which Mr. Keeley said m, re
than $500 was for stenOgraphic work
in the Lorimer case.
Hanecy asked Keeley when he had
his second talk with Kohlsaat with
regard to the Funk Hines conversa-
ton at the Union League club Chi
cago i'm which the LOrimer election
fund was mentioned.
Keeley replied that it was probab-
ly month later but he did not recall
what was said one thing he had
in mind during the conversation he said
was what made the fifty three demo-
Gratis vote for Lorimer.
You are thinking of the fifty-three
democrats rather than of the 100000
that was supposed to have been rails
ed
My mind doesn't asimilate that
question"
Did you think there was assimi-
lation between the fifty-three demo-
Gratis and the 100000
Il think there were both assimi-
lation and digestion"
Keeley gave the White confession as
the authority for the editorial about
Bribery in legislature
And that has been discrcdited in
every court in which White appeared
suggested Hanecy. There have been
aquittals or nOlle pressing of cases
and the slate has been cleaned off eX-
cept in the offices of the Chicago Tri-
bune?"
Probably"
rs that only unclean thing up
there?"
We'll. I don't know. Yau have
