CONG. STEVENS CALLS ON PREsI.
DENT TAFT

Who ID Impressed With the Reord Of
Attorney Francis Of st. Paul.
Advice received from Washington
states. that just prior to leaving for
st. Paul, Congressman Stevens made
final call upon President Taft
relative to the appointment of At
torney w. T. Francis as Minister to
Haiti, presenting additional letters of
Endorsement. Mr.. Taft stated that
he was much impressed with the rec
ord Of Mr.. Francis high character
and ability, and the very strong in
dorsements which he had received,
but that owing to the state of affairs
in Haiti at present-that Republic be-
ing torn by internal strife-the Sec.
retary Of State had requested DR..
Furniss to remain for while longer
because. of his familiarity with pres
ent conditions.
The following letter from Mr.. l.. T.
Chamberlain, formerly Assistant Gen.
eral Counsel of the Northern Pacific
Railway Company, at st. Paul, but
now In California, is one of the very
strong letters referred to the Presi-
dent by Congressman Stevens in Mr..
Francis behalf, and is among the
many Endorsements of which he can
be justly proud:
Los Angeles. Calf, June "a, 1911.
Hon. F. c. Stevens,
Member Of Congress-,
Washington d. G.
Dear Mr.. Stevens: .s
hear that you have recommended
the appointment Of VIM. T. Francis,
of st. Paul, MINI, as Minister to
Haiti. No better appointment could
sbe made. For more than fifteen years,
while was Assistant General Coun-
sci of the Northern Pacific Railway
Company, at st. Paul, Mr.. Francis
was associated with me in the Legal
Department Of that Company. In
deed, he was in the Department sew
sral years before I went there. Dur
.ng that time he worked his way
from minor position in the office
to the Chief Clerkship, studied law
and was admitted to the Bar of Min
nesota and filled every place with
such complete satisfaction and ability
that his promotion could not be de-
MED. He is a cyclopedia Of informa-
ton concerning affairs of the Legal
Department and the Northern Pacific
Railway Company. He is personally
and financially clean and honest and
absolutely reliable in every way. He
seems to be natural adviser of his
people, as they come to him for
guidance in political, business and
social affairs. He is discrete and
diplomatic and is gentleman at
heart as well as in his address. He
knows when he is sure he Is right
and he knows when he is in doubt
and needs counsel. He carries the
message to Garcia" every time. He
is good man and good citizen, and
fully capable by nature and educa-
ton to fill the place for which you
have recommended him.
II this letter will assist the ap-
pointment in any way, please use it.
Accept my continued regards and
best wishes.
Yours very truly,
L. T. Chamberlain.

dent that he would be personally

Credit and Mortgage System RuiGouS.

The ruinous credit and mortgage
system is getting in its work in the
South now at cost of millions Of
dollars Q day. During the past ten
DAYS wagons loaded with cotton have
gone to town in steady streams. The
owners of the cotton didn't want to
sell below cost of production, but
obligations were to be met and rath-
er than let their credit suffer, they
have made the sacrifice. Those who
had made their crops under an ini-
quition crop-lien system, which is a
disgrace to civilization and a curse
to Southern farmers, had the chains
fastened around them and twas not
a matter of choice with them-tIe
cotton had to go. regardless Of price,
when lien-note became due. And in
face Of the fact that certain town
and city publications have been at
tempting TO create the impression,
for the past two years, that farmers
are just rolling in wealth and luxury
it is appalling to know the real stu
alton as it is. And most of the farm
lands in this State, in some counties,
have already been gobbled up by
the creditor classes in towns and
cities and tenants live where home
owners ought to live. Since land
values have increased these leisure
credited classes in the towns and
cities refuse to sell at any reasonable
price. making it impossible for the
tenant classes to become home own
ers. They can scarcely make de-
cent living and pay the usual extor-
tionate time prices for their supplies,
much less to meet payments on high
priced land.-From Carolina Union
Farmer.

Arson Trial Will
Bring Out History
of Labor Battle
o'Grady and Butler, Charged with
Setting Fire to Mill, Brought
Before Court.

DEADwooD S. D., Sept. 16.--(special.)--
of eighteen months ago between the Home
stake Mining company and the Western
Federation Of Miners, for supremacy in
this section, is likely to crop out next
week. when Robert Emett OGrady and
John w. Butler, both Lead youths, are
put on trial for arson. The case, which
comes up before Judge Rice, involves as
alleged attempt a year and one-half ago
to destroy Cyanide plant No. l, at Black
hawk, between here and head, with a
chemical substance, sometimes called hell
fire" or "Pettibone dope"
O'Grady was finally caught in Chicago
last spring. He had an alteration there
with his wife and was sent TO the work.
house under another name. To get even,
the woman tipped Off the police to her
husbands identity and he was brought
back to Lead and later released on BAH.
Previous TO this he had been captured six
months before at Butte, Mont, but made
a sensational escape from Detective Win
SomeTs OF Lead, who was set upon by
some Buttee men and beaten until he was
Unconscious
According to the chain Of evidence the
state asserts it will present against
o Grady and Butler, witnesses are pre-
pared to testify that the pair with the
aid of a woman, who has not been To-
Gated, manufactured the dope" which
contains among other things, phosphorus,
in the lodging house of Thomas Whitaker
in Deadwood. a qunuty OF this fluid and
bottles were later found in the room al
legged TO have been rented by OGrady
and Butler and will be offered in evil
dence. 1t was submitted to an analysis
by A j. Clark, the Homestake chemist
and found to contain explosives.
The state is prepared further, so it
claims, TO submit evidence showing that
O'Grady was in the baggage car of the
Northwestern train, which passes along
side the cyanide plant, the night the bottle
was thrown and that he was seen TO have
received a package from a man at the
Washington station in Lead as the train
was going to Deadwood. The door of the
baggage car opening on the side was open
and the bottle OF explosive was hurled
through it at the plant striking on the side
and causing a slight fire, which was ex-
tinguished by the guards. The broken bot
tie was later found on the ground near the
tracks and is to be used in evidence.
OGrady and Butler were both radical
against the policy Of the Homestake dur
ing its labor dispute. but both deny any
connection with the throwing of the bot
tie of alleged explosive, and the intimation
of the defense is that it will attempt to
show that the defendants are the victims
OF a conspiracy among the detectives,
whose hatred they had incurred. Butler
is a musician in the Fourth United States
cavalry, now on the Texas border and
spent the last summer with the troops,
but is now here for the trial
