Appear Before Committee of
the National House.
POSE FOR THEIR PICTURES
Congressman Berger Demands
Investigation of Conditions
Surrounding the Labor TrOu-
bIeS at the Textile Mills.

Washington, March 2.-Representa-
live Wilson, of Pennsylvania. told the
house committee On rules today that
the action OF the Massachusetts SOL
ulers in stopping the removal of strlk-
erS' children from Lawrence was the
beginning OF the passport system IN
the United States. Mr.. Wilson argued
that the federal government had the
power to iterfere when the power Ga
the state was being used against the
citizens.
A delegation of strikers and children
from Lawrence attracted much atten-
ton. Nearly all of the first hour CT
the hearing was devoted to posing the
children for pictures. Samuel Gompers,
president American Federation of La
Dor, was present as was John Golden,
president of the Textile Workers IN
ion. Representative Berger, of Wis
consin, the socialist member of con-
gress, explained his reasons for ask
ing a federal investigation.
1t is not an investigation of the
conditions in Lawrence on the constl-
tutional point of the brutal interfer-
ence with women and children at the
place. What my bill proposes to in
vestigate now is the relations of the
American Wooden company to the strike
of it's operatives at Lawrence, Mass.
THE American Wooden company has
for years been the recipient of gov
eminent subsidy In the form OF n1Sn
tariff. 1t has been claimed that this
is levied to protect labor. Yet in spite
of this claim it is generally conceded
that these operatives are among the
lowest paid of those of any industry in
America. This strike took place as
revolt against a reduction of about so
cents per week out of a wage averag-
ing less than Sc per week.
IAN Investigation of the American
WOODEN company properly is within
the jurisdiction of the house. 1t is
surely justified at least as much as
the investigation of the steel trust.
the sugar trust or the money trust"
Mr.. Berger charged that the work
ing communities where wages are
least and conditions hardest, are the
recruiting places for the victims of
the white slave traffic.
The first witness called by Repre-
sentative Berger was Samuel Lipson,
a weaver. He said he was classed as
a skilled workman and earned from
SO to $40 a week on which he sup
ported a wife and four children. He
told the committee of times when he
earned less and his family had lived
on bread and water. The days we
eat meat are considered as holidays by
the children, the witness said

MISSOURI PACIFIC BLOCKED.
Snow stops Trains West of Hoisington
Fear Tie Up.

Council Grove, Kan, March 2.-After
receiving mail two days this week this
town is again shut off except by wire.
The rural mail carriers haven't been
over their routes since last Saturday.
Two days this week they got part of
the way but immense drifts compelled
them to turn back.
At l o'clock this morning snow began
falling here and at daylight the fall
measured inches on the level. The
snow is not accompanied by as hard
wind as blew here last Sunday but the
moisture is lighter and the little wind
there is drifts it fully as badly as was
the case with last Sundays storm.
All Missouri Pacific trains west Of
Hoisington were reported blocked by
snow at s o'clock this morning. Stub
trains were started east from that point
but the train dispatcher warned the
OF rators that these trains would likely
be unable to complete the trip.
The Katy's north and south line has
been open most of the time but it is
feared this snow will block this line
and the city will be entirely cut off ex-
cept by wire. If the wind increases
this means of communication may fail.
although the wire companies are hope
full as the snow is not as wet as that Of
last week.
On only two days have the Missouri
Pacific trains brought mail here this
week. The storm at noon showed no
signs of abating.

House Buying
Steadies Wheat Market.
1 GOOD DEMAND FOR CORN
Brings an Advance After an
Early Turn Down.
The BuIIish Sentiment Extends
to Hog Products.

Chicago, March 2.-WHEAT-Iiberal re-
eeipts northwest and unresponsive cables
depressed wheat today but commission
houses were buyers on the dip and brought
about rally. The relative weakness in
european markets was said to be due to
expectation of larger world shipment.
Opening prices were Aq3sc to 12Q3sc
lower. May started at $1.O3ss to $1035s,
the same change from last night as the
market taken altogether and then recov-
cred to $1.O3azQ .03H.
Reports that wheat supplies in the three
northwestern states were only so per cent
OF normal led afterward to an advance.
the close was strong with May 3sQ12c
net higher at $1O42s.
CORN-Though corn at first turned
downward in sympathy with wheat an
advance soon followed as a result of an
active general demand. May opened a
shade to 14ssc off at 7014c to 701Rc and
rose to 705sc.
There was additional gain later and
the market closed strong at 711zc for May,
an advance of zsD1c net
OATS-Oats were helped by the upturn
in corn. May started unchanged to Mc
lower at $3.50 to 53Ac and reacted to $3.50
531ac.
PROVISIONS-The bearish exhibit made
by the monthly statement of stocks of
provisions here lowered hog products to
begin with, but the effect disappeared in
view of the bulIish action of corn. Initial
sales were &c lower to like amount up,
with May delivery $3.50 to $3.50 for
pork. s9.271s for lard and 1886 for ribs.

DIES WITHOUT Money
Mrs. ClarI1's Husband Donated Leav-
enworth Court House Site.

Leavenworth, Kan. March q
News of the death of Mrs. Florinda
Clark, at Little River, has reached
here. Mrs. Clark was the widow of
the man who gave Leavenworth coun-
ty the ground upon which the court
house was built. The structure burn
ed a year ago and is being rebuilt.
An effort was made to have the coun-
ty return to her the land upon which
the court house stood as she was prac-
tically penniless but it was to no avail
She died at the home of her son.
Mrs. Clark was declared to be the
first white woman who made her home
in Leavenworth. She was in her S0th
year. With her husband she settled on
what became a busy section OF this
city. The court house site was given
with the understanding that If the
county ever used the property for 9TH
er purposes the land should return to
him or his heirs. Before his death
Clark lest heavily and his widow was
left without means. 1t was then that
she went to Little River to make her
home with her SON

CLAIM ALL IN SIGHT.
Plan of Roosevelt Campaign Is Out
lined by His Manager.

Washington, March 2.-The acquls-
ition of former Senator Beverage OF
Indiana by the Roosevelt forces was
announced here today. The coloners
large suite of offices occupying the
entire front of downtown otflce
building. Senator Dixon signalized his
advent as manager by seeur!hs
enough space for the full expansion
of the campaign force.
Senator Dixon announced he would
take charge of the campaign Mon
day There is no question in any
mans mind,' he said today, that an
overwhelming preponderance or the
Republican voters of the nation are
for the nomination of Roosevelt.
They believe that if Roosevelt is noml-
mated he will be triumphantly elect
ed in November and they are fearful
of a political calamity to the Repun-
Iican party should Mr.. Taft be nom1-
mated. The Republican party owes
the nomina ton for president to no
man. If this overwhelming prepon-
derance is given expression in. the
election of delegates to the national
convention Roosevelt certainly will be
the nominee.
1.-THE only hope of those Republicans
who are against Mr.. Roosevelt is 70
secure by the use of federal patronage
in the south the control of delegates
from skeleton political organizations in
these states and the suffocation OF the
real sentiment of the Republican vot-
ers in certain northern states in the
matter o. the election of delegates.
ct have not yet had time to thorough
ly investigate conditions in the far
eastern states, but detailed informa-
ton of every congressional district in
the great states of the Mississippi
valley, like Ohio, Illinois and Michigan
gives every possible assurance of solid
Roosevelt delegations, while from the
states lying west of the Mississippi with
scarcely a single exception the Roose-
Welt sentiment is irresistible.
81 cannot believe there is any, ques-
ton as to the ultimate result at Chi

of maintaining the soup line, sending

New YORK. Stock Markef.

Wall ST., New York, March 2.-STOCKS
Gains far exceeded losses in the early
trading on the stock market today. St
Paul, Reading, United States Steel and
Chesapeake and Ohio were up substantial
fractions and the market displayed more
than the usual degree of activity.
Among the few declines were Canadian
Pacific II and Northern Pacific and
American Smelling u.
The market closed steady. Some de-
mand for Erie, which rose g. point, was
the most striking feature of the final
hour. Reading was again under pressure
and Union Pacific and United States Steel
were shaded fractionaIly. Prices stiffened
again in the final dealings.
A substantial reaction in Reading soon
after the opening caused some recessfons
elsewhere but prices again advanced and
before the end of the first hour Union
Pacific, United States Steel and AInalga-
mated Copper were selling above the
previous best for the day. Early prom
ises of increased activity were not full
filled, however, there being frequent
periods of dulIneSS.

MAYOR CL0NTS MAKES
APPEAL FOR CLEANER CITY

To the Citizens of Lakeland:
There is nothing that appeals more
to strangers, or reflects greater cred
it on her citizenship than a clean
town. Some of us are accustomed to
things as they are--tin cans, old
barrels, boxes, trash and rubbish in
the alleys, papers and unsightly lit
ter in the yards and just over the
fence along the sidewalk, and that
splendid sidewalk almost Ovcrgrowu
with grass. Our city is filled with
visitors from some of the best-kept
cities in the United States and it
is making just such an impression
upon them as it would on you if you
were in some Northern or Western
city.
A few minutes work each day will
relieve the situation. Interest the
children after school hours in the
cleaning proposition. 1t is fine exer-
else, and interesting work, and in u
few days you will be glad and happy
because of the decidedly improved
condition.
| want to appeal to our citizens
and ask that in the next few days We
all get spirit of better things along
this line. Anything that you can not
destroy or move yourself the city will
do it for you DO all you can your
self. and the city will help you to its
very best capacity. We want to
serve you. II is to your best interest
that you be a citizen of a well-kept
town, and We ask the cooperation OF
the. good people of Lakeland in help
ing in everything that will have a
tendency to contribute to the health,
beauty and attractiveness of our city
Very truly.
s. L. A. CLONTS.
