WESTERN MINERS WIN OUT
Executive Council of Federation OF
Labor Decide to Grant Them
a Charter.

Columbus, O.-There was much
qualification among the delegates at
tending the convention of the United
Mine Workers when word was re-
ceived from Washington Friday that
the executive councils of the Ameri.
can Federation of Labor in session in
that city had decided to grant char.
ter to the Western Federation of Mi.
ners thus clearing the way for the
amalgamation of the Western Fedora
ton with the United Mine Workers.
The threatened withdrawal of the
Mine Workers from the Federation OF
Labor was discussed at length again
at the miners convention and the
declaration was made in the passage
of a resolution, that if the charter
was not granted the Western Fedora
ton the United Mine Workers would
withdraw and with the metal miners
form a new national labor organiza.
ton.

AMERICA AND IRRIGATION.

Ours is the foremost country In the
world in the reclamation of its arid
land. To the untraveled easterner
the extent OF the irrigation of west
ern lands under direct government SUI
pervision is unknown. The work Of
individual and corporate concerns
raises the actual reclamation of arid
land in the west to an enormous to-
tai acreage. Most of this work has
been accomplished within the past
decade, while each year the plans for
still further pushing the conquests of
artificial irrigation are extended, says
the Pittsburg Gazctte-Times. That
the prestige in this important depart
ment of home building belongs to the
United States is further demonstrated
by request recently submitted to
the state department by the Austria
liam government Australia has sew
eral wide extended areas Of arid
land. The reclamation of much Of
this has been undertaken, but the first
difficulty that confronted the govern
ment was a lack of expert knowledge
of the actual work to be done and Of
the means used to secure the largest
and surest returns on the money in
vested In this dilemma Australia
turned to the United States, where ir-
rigation on the broadcast lines has
been ably demonstrated under gov
eminent control.

TO FORTIFY CANAL
TAFT IN SPEECH DECLARES PAN
ANA CUT MUST DEFEND
ITSELF.
HOPES FOR 100000 SOON
President Declares Americas Right Is
InccntestabIe and Policy Is Defend
ed-Estimates Cost at $12, oo0,o co-
War Still Is Possibility.

New York.-President Taft, in a
speech Saturday night at the annual
banquet of the Pennsylvania society in
this city, opened an active campaign
for the fertilization of the Panama
canal by the United States. He de-
clared that the right of this country
to accomplish that result was incon-
testable and defended such a policy.
The president believes that the pres
ent session of congress will appropri-
ate $5,OO0,00O to begin the work.
In the senate. the president has been
told, the sentiment for fertilization is
almost two to one The house seems
pretty evenly divided, but not along
partisan lines. Most of the members
appear to have an open mind, however.
President Taft will bring all of his
influence to bear in favor of fortifica-
ton. In his speech he said that there
were absolutely no treaty obligations
in the way of fortifying the canal; that
| the United States had every right and
| reason to protect what was purely an
| American waterway.
4
man in his love of peace and hatred to
| the senate arbitration treaties of a
broader nation than had ever come
before that body or any other legisla-
| tive body of the world. At the same
time Mr.. Taft cautioned his hearers
| that universal peace was still a long
way off and he could not conceive of
will nor
to allow an attacking force free and
| equal use of a waterway which was
built by Americans largely as an in
strument for the defense OF their coun-
| try.
The president quoted from diplomat
| ic history to prove his position unas-
| satlable, and said:
IF we have to retain a part of our
navy to defend the canal on both sides,
| then the canal becomes a burden and
not an instrument for our defense. It
| ought to defend itself, and we should
| have Notifications there powerful
enough to keep off the naVies OF any
nations that might possibly attack us. .
The estimated cost of the fortified
| ton, the president declared, is $12,OOO,-
| 900, hardly more than two per cent.
of the cost of the canal, and a first pre-
MUM for insuring it's safety that is
| not excessive"
"War is still a possibility said the
president, 'and president, senator Of
congressman who ignores it as some
thing against which proper precautien
should be taken subjects himself to
| Just criticism and condemnation"

SUMMON 125 IN Vote PROBE
DANVILLE GRAND JURY SENDS
OUT SUBPoENAEs.
Signing of Official Documents Causes
Scurrying for Legal Advice-Judge
May Be Hit.

Danville, Ill.-One Hundred and
twenty-five subpoenaes for Vermil-
ion county politicians were ISSUED
by the vote-fraud grand jury directly
after six of the wealthiest bankers of
Danville had appeared before the in
quisitorial body.
1t was the initial broadside in the
county's fight to purify the ballot and
the bare rumor that the jury fore
man, Isaac Woodward, was signing
the official documents spread deepest
CONSERVATION. When the wholesale
subpoena rumor was verified there
was wild scurrying for attorneys and
legal advice on the part of many.
The subpoenaes issued followed a
long day of grand jury session at
which six of Danville's wealthiest
bankers told the story of the downfall
of Former County Treasurer Hardy
H. Whitlock through extravagant vote
buying. e. x. Leseure, son-in-law of
Joseph G. Cannon, president OF the
Danville National bank, was given the
longest gruelling before the grand
jury.
1t develops that Isaac Woodward,
foreman of the grand jury, has con-
suited several attorneys with refer
ence to indicting buyers and sellers
of votes for criminal conspiracy, and
it is predicted that a real sensation is
in store for those who have expected
merely perfunctOry arraignment and
the assessment of nominal fines
aginst offenders.
Under the law covering vote selling
the seller cannot be prosecuted after
the expiration of IS months, but, &C
cording to the OPINIONS of various law
yers consulted by Mr.. Woodward, he
can go back three years under the
criminal conspiracy act. The law
states that when a candidate is cleo
ted by fraud there has been criminal
conspiracy and the grand jury will
endeavor to bring indictments under
the law, it is said.
If the grand jury goes back three
years it will be compelled to investi-
gate the election of Mayor Platt, Judge
Kimbrough, who charged the grand
jury in the vote-selling inquiry,
States Attorney Lewman, who is con-
Quoting the investigation, and numer-
Gus other officials who have been
elected during the last three years.

coma Friday seized the Honduran
navy-the armed vessel Hornet. After
two hours of defiance from Gen. Man
uel Bonilla, provisional president of
Honduras and leader of the revolt
against President Davilla, Commander
Davis sent force aboard the Hornet,
manned her with American gunners
and engineers, sent the rebel crew
ashore in launches, and ordered his
men to take the Hornet out of the in
ner harbor. Commander Davis action
was brought about by the Hornets
continuous coasting up and down the
Honduran border, which he looked
upon as threatening hostile act.
