When the visitor arrived, Madero

bers of his staff. After a formal
greeting the leader swept his hand
toward the plantation, where about
l 200 men were encamped, and want
ed to know if it did not look like
an army. With him were seven Amer
leans. including Dr. Wilson. his ply
sician, and Oscar G. Creighton, who
has ben active in b.owing up rail
road bridges.
The personal appearance of Made
ro invited scrutiny. A rather short,
plump man, accoutred in boots, a
sweater, and a suit of khaki, with
a quick decisive way of speaking
when ne gave orders, invested him
with the manner of a commander.

A habit of meditatively clawing
his closely trimmed beard as he
spoke suggested that he carefully
weighed his words. The interview

subject of peace.
Nothing has transpired since we

them down. said Madero. "Mr. Ii

I'VE took up arms and we mean
to fight it out. The change in the
cabinet is something unheard of in
Mexico before. 1t is not sufficient

the governments inability to crush

"The only promise of note which
Diaz has made is for the cutting up
of the big estates and settling them
in small lots to the people on terms

idea is good, but we would dislike
to see Diaz put it into effect, because
1t would be pretext for great spec.

COUNCILMAN ERICSSON WILL SPEAK
ON PUBLIC OWNERSHIP IN HIGH
SCHOOL AUDITORIUM EVERETT
PEOPLE WILL HEAR LOGICAL
PRESENTATION OF A WEIGHTY
QUESTION.

In the municipal election of last spring
when Seattle abandoned the old system
OF ward government and chose eight
councllmen to represent the city at
large, Oliver I. Ericsson led his ticket bv
substantial vote. Ericsson went into
office with a realization of the proper
relation between the people and their
chosen officials. He regarded the city
as a great corporation in which each
citizen was stockholder. The stock
holders had held great meeting and had
said by ballot that they wanted certain
things. 1t was his duty as an executive
employe of that corporation to get for
the stockholders the things they wanted.
For instance, a bond issue of $500, 900
had been approved by the people to
acquire certain line of street railway.
After assuming office Mr.. Ericsson did
not suddenly discover as so many Off
Gals do that the people had made an
error and it was his duty to save them
from themselves" but he went TO work
to acquire that line. Seattle isn't oper-
ating it yet, but she will, and mainly be-
cause Mr. Ericsson is staying on the
job. There have been times when Ericsson
and Hesketh, another Seattle council.
man with the right idea of public ser
vice, have stood alone in that council of
eight for the things which the people of
Seattle wanted and ought to have.
Mr. Ericsson is not "reformer'' as we
are wont to term it. He is neither an
agitator nor dreamer in the common
acceptance of those terms. He is a bust
ness man who has made success of his
own business. But he brought into pub
lle service different conception of busi
ness than the average business man
elected to public office brings. Here il

ANOTHER
BURNS FAKE
SCOTLAND YARD REFUSES TO BE
A PARTY TO BURNS ADvERTIS-
ING EXPLOIT-CAPLAN NOT CAP
TURED BY DETECTIVES AT ALL.
National Socialist Press.)

Word has come direct from Scotland
Yard, London, that the whole story Of
Burns making an important capture OF
"Caplan' or Schmidt" was gigantic
fake worked up by the detective for ad.
vertising purposes.
At the district attorneys office it was
limited at the time that Burns was tax
ing advantage of his pleasure trip
abroad at the expense of Los Angeles
,aXpayers. He simply spread the fraud
llent reports and allowed the yellow
American newspapers to do the rest
Los Angeles newspapers made big
spread of the fake story and have care
iully refrained from telling the truth
lbout the fake.
1t is understood Burns will return via
Canada and it is thought he may avoid

chat he has the indianapolis matter ar
ranged othat he can go directly there
and then go about his errands for his
masters without fear of courts or laws.
James Hosick, the Los Angeles police
who is also under Indictment
is about his old haunts with apparently
no fear of being troubled by the authori-
ties. 1t is commented on that when one
of the working class is under the faint
est suspicion of crime he is arrested
and imprisoned. When the offender
happens to be a detective he is allowed
to run at large.
This unjust discrimination is helping

SPOKANE CHARTER.

Through the courtesy of Commissioners

ment. Aside from the reading matter
contained the charter is attractive. being
issued in pamphlet form and illustrated
with views of Spokane. Just inside the
front cover is found splendid birdseye
view of the city and little further on
a cut of the new city hall now under
course of construction. This building
when completed will be eight stories in
height and will have cost one million
dollars.
The provisions of the charter are
worth careful reading, comprising as
they do the best features taken from
many other American cities under the
commission plan.

Mrs. Emma McAIanigal underwent the
ordeal of another day in court when she
appeared to answer to a citation by
Judge Walter on charge of contempt OF
court.
The little woman has aged years since
she was subjected to the torture by the
Burns detectives. She bore herself well
and looked her prosecutors squarely in
the eye. The district attorney filed an
affidavit concerning her refusal to an
swer the questions of the grand jury
refusing TO answer but the Burns de-
tectives are using every effort to get
the woman put in a prison cell where
they can get at her alone. They hope
to break her down in spirit as they have
broken her in health by their persecu-
tions.
The defense pleaded for time and was
given four days to make reply to the
affidavits filed by the prosecution. There
is much Indignation over the way the
woman is being bounded by detectives.
These thugs and gun men swarmed
about the woman the minute she APP
peared today. McLaren, the Operative"
who is giving Ortie McManigal his daily
lesson was in the court room and his
presence added to the woman's nervous
ness.
In speaking of the case Attorney Job
Hartman said:
"We feel that the grand jury has no
right to force Mrs. McManigal to testi-
fly. The prosecution has no right to de-
mand that she testify at this time
Their action is without legal excuse. If
she had been brought before the grand
jury before the indictments were issued
she might have been asked to testify.
Now the indictments are out and the
prosecution is simply trying to extract
information from her TO find out what
she knows before the beginning of the
trial.

nection with the fire and explosion in
Los Angeles Times building, which oc-
cured October |, 1910.
The fact that the date was not set as
early as September ] is a point in favor
of the defense as it was believed Judge
Bordwell would favor the prosecution
which favors an early date in order to
hold the public sentiment which has
been with them until the recent exposure
of the brutality in the treatment of
Mrs. Emma McNIanigal and the disclos-
ure of the thug tactics of Burns and his
brutal Operatives"
The Mcnamara brothers will stand
trial in a court where the officials OF
that institution have been parties to the
conspiracy against them. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Joseph w. Ford, who is
taking the lead in the case, owing to
the Incompetence and inefficiency of his
chief, is accused of perjury in connec-
tion with the requisition papers. Will
lam j. Burns, the detective who worked
up the case against the men who will
be active in the prosecution is under a
felony indictment in Indiana, charged
with kidnapping John j. Mcnamara.
The fact that these men should not
be permitted to conduct the prosecution
was brought out strongly by Clarence
Darrow who, in his first speech in the
trial said "The law has been twisted
and perverted and by perjury, fraud and
violence John J. Mcnamara has been
brought into California where he has
been indicted on charges other than
those mentioned in the falsely acquired
requisition and the whole illegal pro-
ceedure is abhorent to all sense of JUS
tice."
In his flagellation of the district at
torney and his assistants Darrow did
not mince words and the men who con
spired with Burns to violate the extra
dition laws were given foretaste of
what was coming to them when the trial
should actually open. In attempting to
defend his action in connection with the
kidnapping Ford made the statement
that the governor of Indiana wanted the
men spirited out of the state. This is
the first intimation that Governor Mar
shall was a party to the Burns plot.
Judge Walter Bordwell, who will pre-
side in the case, refused to set aside the
indictments or allow the grand jury to
be subpoenaed into court to show that
they were not biased and preiudced
against the men and against all labor
organizations. The defense declares that
they have proven that several members
of the jury were officials or members
of labor hating organizations and that
at least one of the men was in the en-
ploy of IL. G. Otis at the time or for
long time before the gas explosion and
fire destroyed the old death trap. Har-
riman, Darrow and the other lawyers for
the defense put the judge in narrow
corner and forced him to fill the record
with error in his decisions in the pre-
llminary steps.

Los Angeles Socialists and labor un-
ion men made it so warm for the city
council in their consideration of the
proposition to turn over more of the
city's money to Burns that it was de-
cided to return something over $4,000
to the city treasury. Mayor George Al
eXander wanted to pay that amount to
Burns, saying that the detective had
spent more than that in his pursuit of
the alleged dynamiters.
The Steel trust, it was pointed out, is
amply able to carry ON its own cases
and should be made to bear the burden
of the expenses of the operatives who
seek TO destroy labor unions.

arrested and most of them confined in

COAST WEAR ROSY HUE FROM
STRIKERS STANDPOINT.

News has just reached US that the Hoe
Printing Press Manufacturing company
of New York has signed up for an eight
hour day. This firm employs l,SOO ma
chmists. Other large firms are negotiat-
ing for settlement. Previous to this,
many small shops employing in the
neighborhood of 1000 mechanics granted
the eight bours. The strike in New
York has only been in progress for about
two months and judging from the prog
ress made it will soon be over.
The strike on the Pacific coast has
been in progress for thirteen months
and still the big guns in the iron indus
try cannot see the handwriting on the
wall The day Of the nine hour shop is
past The day Of the eight hour shop is
here
Reports from all over the Northwest
district indicate that the eight hour
shops are doing the work. while the nine
hour shops are doing very little and in
some instances are almost closed down.
There is reason.
Union mechanics are the brainiest and
highest skilled mechanics in the world
Scabs. with few exceptions, are the re-
verse. Good work is the best advertise
ment a firm can have. Poor work the
contrary. The one builds up the other
tears down.
In Seattle the eight hour shops are
competent to handle any and all kinds
of machine work from the largest CON
tracts down. Wright & Smith, a live,
hustling eight t-hour shop. put in a bid
on the government transport Dix 500
cheaper than the Moran's. the nine-hour
shop.
From Astoria comes the word that Mr..
Fox, of the Astoria Iron Works. who
paid the Centennial committee $4,000
for the privilege of putting out the of
fetal souvenir badge and had some made
under non-union conditions. is now con
fronted with the news that his badge
has been placed on the unfair list by the
Astoria Labor Council.
Spokane reports agreement signed
with paper mill that will employ a mum
Der of machinists. Agreement calls for
an eight hour day with fifty cents per
hour and the firm will work two shifts.
The machinsts of the Pacific coast are
as determined and their ranks as solid
today as they We're on June l. 1910, the
day the battle started to make eight

ACROSS THE CONTINENT"

There is a striking significance, a
wealth of the romantic atmosphere of
the awakening West, and a vivid, elab-
| crate picturing of the wilderness re-
spending to the genius of Western con
structive civilization in the beautiful
book written by Isabelle Carpenter Ken
dali, entitled across the Continent"
copy of which has just come to the re-
viewing desk. 1t is the first book of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound
railway, and as q luXmiously designed
and printed volume descriptive of the
wonderlands between the Mississippi and
the Pacific ocean it compels attention as
superb work of art. The book con
tains some seventy large quarto pages
of heavy calendered paper and the elab-
crate picture work in colors throughout,
as well as the distinctive letter press and
art work, disarm criticism. Its chief
significance lies in its demonstration of
the scenic grandeur and magnificance of
the 400 miles of new railway through
new territory in the prolific West The
text is a concise, impressive descriptive
story of trip over the entire line, and
the reproductions of photographs in col
ors are splendid examples of engraving
and printing art. The principal towns
and districts along the line are compre-
hensively described, as well as the chief
elements of improved railroad building
that have attracted worldwide atten-
tion to the Milwaukee road, which rep
resents m some respects the most re-
markable of modern accomplishments in
railroad construction. The book is is
sued by the publishing department of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound
railway which is in charge of General
Passenger Agent Geo. w. Hibbard and
Traffic Manager r. NJ Calkins, Seattle,

MOOSE LOSE
TO yICToRs
TOSS-OFF GAME AT ROBBINS PARK
IN ONE DISASTROUS INNING
WALTON PITCHES AN AIR-TIGHT
GAME BUT SUPPORT FAILS.

| Yes we lost But this time the fans
had no license to go home and close the
incident by saying, saw, Walton
pitched" For Mr.. Walton, be it known
pitched one of the best games seen on
the local grounds this year. He had
everything and with the right kind OF
support should have held the visitors to
one run. In addition to pitching gilt
edge ball he cracked the sphere for a
home run. 1t we'll illustrates the queer
break in baseball At times pitcher
can be invincible and yet the break go
against him. 1t was the fatal seventh
that turned the trick. Rank errors by
| the Victors in the seventh combined with
two timely bingoes had netted the
Moose four runs and Walton's four base
with one on netted two more. Fine
fielding by the locals up to the seventh
had held the Victors tame as rabbits.
Roberts made sensational running
catch in center field. A long drive in
his territory was going like shot and
it looked like ten-to-one bet on the
ball. Roberts turned and while running
at full speed with the ball caught it over
his shoulder. Banzais from the specta-
tors The seventh opened with the
game apparently on ice when things
happened. Weborg at first opened the
nf itrrrs fuYt
A hit followed which the shortstop
handled clean and then, raising his
sights, pegged mile over first base.
Unusual stunt for the shortstop as he
is one of the snappiest players on the
team. When the error microbe strikes
that Moose bunch there is no stopping
it until it goes the rounds. Bolland in
left garden fell down chasing a fly in
his territory while the runs pattered
over To make long story short be-
fore the boys got the errors out of their
systems the Victors were in the lead.
Revived hope in the ninth when Wal.
ton leaned ON one with two down for
two bases. A hit meant tie score but
the next batter up wasn't equal to the
emergency and the agony was over. Cut
out the second and seventh innings ana
it was one dandy game, but, oh, that
seventh.
The Seattle Elks and the Everett Elks
furnished the concert after the big show.
An unfortunate accident to one of the
Everett players terminated the game
with the score 10 to in Seattle's favor,
They might have been playing yet but
for that.
Next Sunday the Moose team crosses
bats with the strong team from Mt.
Vernon and the contest will be worth
while witnessing. Mt. Vernon has one
of the strongest semi professional teams
in the state and is one of the few teams
that made the mighty Snohomish aggre-
CATION bite the dust. The Moose met
Mt. Vernon July and though they were
defeated put up a splendid exhibition
Spectators at that game said there was
little to choose from in the playing Of
the two teams. The locals will strength

to take Mt. Vernon into camp.
