men's WaIkout Occur In England
and Holland.

In England and on the continent
brought serious riots at several ports.
and hope for peace soon Is ended.
At Hull more than twenty persons
were injured, including several police
men, OF whom three were seriously
injured. The riots resulted from the
failure to reach a settlement between
the ship owners and the strikers.
1t became necessary to call out re-
Inducements Of police, and eventually
the disturbances were Quelled by
series Of charges, which drove the men
from the streets. The Shipping Fed
GRAFTON once windows were smashed
and the free labor premises were
wrecked by the angry strikers. Much
damage was done to the Wilson line
once.
The striking dock hands terrorized
the Quayside at Amsterdam, beating
non-unionists and molesting their
wives and children and smashing the
windows Of the ship stores. Police
men who tried to intervene were saved
from being thrown into the sea only
by the timely arrival Of troops.
The Canadian Pacific railway, the
Allan line, and the Cunard line have
yielded. The stewards of the Empress
Of Britain have returned to work and
the loading OF the Tunisian has been
resumed.

HERMIT's DEATH A MYSTERY
John L. Sexton Found Murdered in
His Rude Cabin Near Elkhart
Lake, Sheboygan County.

Sheboygan. - Mystery surrounds
the death Of John l.. Sexton, 1.-The
hermit of Elkhart Lake." who was
found murdered in his log cabin,
three miles from this city.
Robbery did not prompt the deed,
for scattered about the table were
many gold coins, probably part OF the
hermit's hidden hoard, for he was
reputed to be wealthy. Only an old
fashioned silver watch was missing.
This may serve to bring the murderer
to justice.
Although he was known to every
resident in Sheboygan county and to
hundreds who visited the summer re-
sorts at Elkhart lake every summer,
little was known about the hermit's
life.
He was over 81 years old, and for
nearly forty years he lived In his
rude log cabin. His venerable APP
pearance and eccentricities brought
hundreds of visitors to his door, with
whom he would talk on all varieties
of subjects except the reason for his
retirement from the world.
His cabin was scantily furnished,
but piled tier upon tier were thou
sands Of newspapers which he had
collected for years. Some issues
bore dates of fifty years ago.
Old residents remember that be-
fore his sudden desire to shun hui
man companionship he had promis-
ing future. He was the first school
teacher in Sheboygan county, and
also served as justice of the peace
and postmaster.
Sections body was discovered by
John Flach, a neighbor. The old
man was lying in chair, his head
lying on table nearby. His skull
was almost crushed to pulp, his
throat cut from ear to ear, and
deep cash in his right hand showed
that he had grasped the murderer's
weapon In an attempt to save his
life. After committing the crime
the murderer locked the door of the
cabin.

IN SUGAR TRUST QUIZ

Institute Proceedings against Big
Monopoly.
President

Washington. President
Theodore Roosevelt was attacked by
George H. Earle Jr., Of Philadelphia
before the house committee investigat-
ing the sugar trust.
He was especially denunclatory OF
Mr.. Roosevelt's alleged failure to In
stitute criminal prosecution of Amer
lean Sugar Refining company officials
after the Pennsylvania sugar refinery
deal was exposed in 1906. Mr.. Earle
spoke with such emphasis that he Of
fercd to apologize II the committee
thought Mr. Roosevelt's inaction was
not reprehensible.
Mr.. Earle declared he had offered
to debate the issue with Roosevelt IN
New York last fall, but that the lat
ter declined the opportunity to over
whelm" him. He said he had ap-
preached Mr. Roosevelt with the feel
ing that he was 1.-The greatest man IN
the universe" Now, however, he
wanted he said, to submit his case to
the people OF Kansas, who still
think" OF the former chief executive
as lie once did.
Representative Madison, a friend
az Roosevelt, said there was no evil
dence that Mr.. Roosevelt had acted
from an improper motive when he
accepted the advice of his attorney
general and failed to prosecute Off
cials of the sugar trust.
"Mr. Purdy, acting attorney general,
was anxious to proceed against them,
retorted Earle Mr. Bonaparte's de-
cision in this case advising against
prosecution was read to the commit
tee. Upon this Roosevelt had to
lean, insisted the Kansan.
You gentlemen will never prose
cute anyone If you try to find ex-
cuses for officers who neglect their
duty" commented Earle.
II am not attempting to excuse
Bonaparte," said Madison. Il do not
agree with his opinion In this case,
but the president had to follow it. |

FLOWERS AS SMUGGLING AID
Customs Men Who Did Not Inspect
Decorated Coat lapels.

New York.-CoIlector Loeb is about
to quiz several customs inspectors
who are supposed to have connived at
the jewel smuggling case involving
Nathan Allen of Kenosha, Wis. and
John r. Collins, president of the
Southern Coal company Of Memphis,
Tenn.
In connection with giant customs
frauds, alleged to have been perpe-
trated through New York banker
and deputy in the government serv-
ice, 1t was learned how the deputy
managed to indicate to favored trav-
elers the TRUSTEES" who could be de-
pended upon to pass their trunks with
out inspection. 1t now develops that
the TRUSTEES were what was known as
the flower squad In the lapel OF
each "trusty" was flower and the
passengers were told to approach men
thus decorated. 1t was simple
scheme and worked to perfection.
Even the honest inspectors did not
suspect the squad members, putting
down the fact that they always wore
flowers to fad.
