ORGANIZED LABOR OPPOSES
POWER ENGRAVING PRESSES

Patrick ]. Ryan, chairman of the legis-
lative committee of the Central Labor
Union, said last night that the plate
printers and organized labor in general
were opposed to the installing of power
presses in the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing on the grounds that it reduces
the standard of the work. and invites
counterfeiting on a plan that is stupen-
dous.
"Organized labor throughout the coun-
try is unalterably opposed to installing
power presses in the bureau on the
ground that it will necessarily reduce
the high standard which the bureau has
set with the aid of hand presses. The
plato printers in particular are opposed
also to putting the matter Of how the
work should be done up to the Secretary
of the Treasury.
Quality Should He Maintained.
''They think that the national currency
Of the country should be Of such a high
grade that counterfeiting will be almost
impossible. The few cases Of counter
feiting that has come to the. ears Of the
public for the past ten years could al
most be counted upon ones fingers. The
reason of the small number of counter
feits in this country is that the standard
of the work is so high that people who
try to initiate the work make botches of
it, and the Secret Service does the rest"
The Maryland State Federation Of La
Dor, in session at Baltimore, last night
passed resolutions condemning the in
stallation of power presses in the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing on the ground
that it would tend to cheaper the quail
ity of the work which has heretofore
been the standard by which all engrav-
ing in this country and many other had
been judged.

CHEMICAL EXPERT
DEFENDS DU POINTS
DIR. Hudson Says Powder and
Not Dynamite Exploded.

New York. Feb. 3-In the opinion OF
DR.. Walter G.. Hudson, chemical expert
| in the offices of the Du Pont Powder
Company. 90 Wall street. the shaking up
which New Jersey and New York got
| on Wednesday was not due to dynamite
at all. but to the explosion Of 10000 pounds
| of black gun powder which was aboard
the lighter katherine w, according to
Dr. Hudson. while the lighter was taking
con cargo of dynamite If any dynamite
WAS exploded at all. said DR.. Hudson to-
day. the amount was very small, perhaps
only few sticks.
Contrary to our orders and practice
DR.. Hudson said, when the explosion
took place Wednesday there were 10000
pounds of powder aboard the Katherine
W. while the dynamite was being carried
onto the lighter. The Katherine w. does
not belong to our company, but was un-
der contract to carry from pier Z ship
ment of dynamite to steamship.
Capt James Healing. the owner of the
Katherine w, was placed under arrest
this morning on a technical charge of
manslaughter. His arrest followed the
action taken last night by the officials
of Jersey City, when warrants were is
sued for the eight men charged with
responsibility for the disaster. AS soon
as Capt Healing learned that he was to
be arrested he walked into the First
precinct station in Jersey City and sur
rendered himself to Police Captain Cody.
Healing's surrender was followed by
that of Alexander Hamilton, general
freight agent of the Central Railroad
of New Jersey at Jersey City. Some
time afterward he was patrolled in the
custody of his lawyer by Justice Blair
OF the Common Pleas Court. Mr.. Ham,
ilton appeared. accompanied by Charles
Miller of the legal department of the
railroad. Police Captain Cody at once
took them before Judge Blair.
'As my client appeared voluntarily.
and as ne is resident of the State, /
will ask your honor to patrol him in my
custody said Mr.. Miller.
This was assented to by Judge Blair,
as in the case of Capt Healing.

them. Looking blandly at the audience,
he said: Il will answer later"
The court appointed four expert wit

at great length. Eventually they an

Takes Issue with the Printers.
The commission. apparently. takes issue
with the printers and it is backed up by
the Treasury Department in its belief
that the hand-rubbing process should be
abolished.

bureau that it will be impossible. under
the system Of economy which President
Taft has been urging. to care for the
large number of men and women who
will lie thrown out of work. and that
the move is but preliminary to an invita-
ton for them to leave the employ Of the
government. There are 800 plate printers
at work in the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing. With them are 500 assistants,
mostly women. Among the remainder Of
the 1000 workmen at the bureau there
are many hundreds, it is predicted, who
will be required to enter other occupa-
tions as the machinery substitution pro-

government departments to assimilate

St. Petersburg. Feb. a-The capricious
conduct of DR.. Panchenko. self-confessec
murderer Of Count Vassilli Boutourlin
who. together with the counts brother
in-law. Count OBrien De Lassy. is now
on trial here, heightens interest in the
trial.
His confession made early in the week
has since been modified. retracted, and
made again with notifications, to the
utter bewilderment of the prosecution
and the delight of the public OF all ranks
whom the trial is attracting in immense
numbers.
Their attitude is generally in no wise
one of adherence of the supposed crime,
but of interest in what to them Is ar
exciting drama. The audience is largely
composed of society women. DR.. Panch-
enko's patriarchal appearance. bland man
ner. and graceful gestures seem to fas-
cinate them. His earnest efforts to shield
his paramour. Nine. Muraviova, awakens
their sympathy.

When DR.. Panchenko began retractins
and modifying his confession it was be-
lieved he had had illicit interviews with
Count De I.assy and had been Influenced
by him, but to-day he again made ad-
missions. which aroused the obvious
anger and dismay of Count De Lassy

he telegraphed for her to come to him.
She had heard he was sick, but Count de
Lassy, who had seen him in St Peters
burg, reassured her. When she arrived
her husband said he had been suffering
from blood poisoning, but was better.
Nevertheless, he was very sick. She
appealed to DR.. Kohan, who was at
