SAYS M'MANlGAL WAS
HIRED BY CAPITAL
DELEGATE TO MINERS UNION
CONVENTION INTRODUCES
DRASTIC RESOLUTION

Indianapolis, jan 23.-"Too keep
Ortie McManigal, employed by the
capitalists, from destroying the min
ers' union" R. NJ. Roll, of Hender
son, Kentucky, today offered in the
United Mine Workers contention
an amendment to the constitution
providing that no man should be elig-
ible to office in the national union
unless he had been at work in or
around coal mine five years and
been a member of the Organization
three years. The amendment was
adopted amid cheers.
"The capitalists employed McMani-
gal to destroy the Structural Iron
Workers union and man as shrewd
might get at the head of the miners
union for the same purpose said
Roll. I'VE know the manufacturers
have paid emissaries in the unions and
we must take time to become well
quainted with the character of mem
bers before we elect them to ~eH
and give them dangerous power"

Jefferson City. Mo, Jan. 2s.-Gov-
ernor Herbert s. Hadley insa a state
ment today said he favored the nom
ination of Theodore Roosevelt as the
republican presidential candidate.
From information that has already
come to me from all parts of the
state" he said. 'sI am convinced that
a large majority of the republicans
are in favor of the nomination of The
odore Roosevelt as our candidate for
president and large majority of peo-
pie are in favor of his election.
'sWhile they hold Mr.. Taft in high
esteem and are not unmindful of
many good things that have been ac-
complished during his administration,
they feel that the candidacy of Col
onel Roosevelt will insure success in
the state and nation in the coming
campaign, and, further, think they
feel Colonel Roosevelt represents, as
no other man represents, those prin-
ciples and policies of government
with which his name is associated
and which appeal so strongly to the

Colgate, Okla, Jan. 23.-Delegates
to the Fourth congressional district
republican convention, which will be
held here this afternoon, today ex-
citedly told discussed rumor that
the convention is to instruct the ma
tional convention delegates for Theo-
dore Roosevelt as presidential nom.
inee. The rumor gained believers by
the refusal of District Chairman Ed
ward Perry to deny it.
1t had been reported that Perry re-
ceived letters from Colonel Roosevelt
and Postmaster General Hitchcock,
permitting use of the former presi-
dents name in the convention, and,
while Perry emphatically denied this.
he declined to comment on the con-
probable action. Other re-
ports declared that supporters OF
President Taft have effected COM
promise over federal patronage with
Mr.. Perry and Loren G. Disney. for
mer federal office holder, whereby the
convention would endorse Mr.. Taft
for denomination. 1t is admitted that
Perry and Disney control the situa-
don.
Speculation as to reported efforts
Of Chairman Edward Perry of the
Fourth congressional district to Sc
cure national convention delegates
pledged for Theodore Roosevelt as
republican presidential nominee, was
clarified here this afternoon when
Perry's friends declared their inten-
Lion of electing Roosevelt delegates
to the Chicago convention. Taft sup
porters say 12O of the 1875 delegates
to the district convention here are
for Taft but Roosevelt men discount
this statement.

CONTROLSLARGECORPORATION
WESTERN UNION AND EIGHT
TELEPHONE COMPANIES ARE
ITS SUBSIDIARIES
COMPETITION IS ANNIHILATED
INDEPENDENT CONCERNS ARE
PRACTICALLY FORCED OUT
OF BUSINESS

] New York, Jan. 3.-A petition to
dissolve the American Telephone and
Telegraph company on the ground
that it is monopoly in violation of
the provisions of the Sherman law,
was made public here today, a few
hours in advance of it's presentation
to United States Attorney General
Wickersham in Washington.
According to the petition, the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph com
pany which controls the Western
Union Telegraph company and eight
subsidiary telephone companies, in
various parts of the United States, is
one of the largest financial concerns
in the world, having capital of near
ly $1,000, 100000 and it now dominates
the telephone business of the coun-
try.
The petitioner points out that by
reason of the company's control of
subsidiary concerns, the independents
are practically barred from competi-
tion. 1t is charged that the opera
tons Of the American Telephone and
Telegraph company in the acquire
ment of control of these subsidiary
companies, were practically identical
with the operations of the Standard
Oil and tobacco trusts, which were
declared illegal by the United States
supreme court.
Special reference is made to the
operations of the alleged telephone
srust in Ohio, Kansas City, and Salt
Lake City. The statement is made
that in all parts of the west the indie
pendent telephone exchanges are
threatened with extinction. The pti-
ton is signed by George Lambert, a
justice of the peace of Pelham, N. Y.
President Farrell surprised the COM
mittee by declaring his corporation
had had no relations with the Inter
national Harvester company during
the last five or six years because the
harvester company had boycotted it
after controversy with subsidiary
steel company. He said it was due
to mere bubble between statesmen.

London, Jan. 23.-The affairs OF
state at Peking are now in the un-
disputed possession of the Manchu
reactionaries and Yuan Shi Kai has
abandoned his task, according to ad-
vices received by the American con-
sui at Tien Tsin, and reported from
that city today by the correspondent
of the Exchange Telegraph company.
The dispatch adds:
The situation in Peking has un-
dergone an extraordinary change. The
imperial family has reversed its policy
and abandoned all thought of abdi.
cation. Yuan Shi Kai has stepped
aside and the whole control is in the
hands of General Yin Tchang, who
was credited few days ago with re-
commencing a general massacre Of
the Chinese by the Manchus."
Prince Kung, the leader Of the Mon
golian anti-abdioationists, has offered /
to raise $4,000 troops to assist in
keeping the Manchu dynasty on The
Chinese throne, according to dis
patch from Tien Tsin. All is quiet
at Picking at present, according to the
same dispatch, but fighting in the city
and the surrounding districts is be-
lieved to be inevitable shortly.
