English Speaking Operatives
Join Foreigners at Lawrence.

Laurence Mass. Jan. l9.-Considerable
addit ions 10 the ranks OF the striking tex
tile workers, whose numbers have steadily
increased since the inception of the strike
eight DAYS ago. were made to-day. At a
meeting of six hundred English speaking
operatives vote TO strike was taken, and
II is claimed that as many more Of the
same class of operatives will abide by the
decision Of the meeting and refuse to go
TO work tomorrow The strikers, most OF
whom are foreigners, unable to speak Eng
fish. consider this addition TO their ranks
important, and say that the absence OF
these English speaking operatives may re-
suit in several Of the mills being entirely
closed.
About seven hundred foreign operatives.
most OF them employed at the Arlington
mills, also quit work to-day, making the
total number OF persons who are now vol
unfairly remaining away from the mills ap-
proximately sixteen thousand. The strike
now affects every mill IN the city.
The day was one Of quiet The militia
men made little show OF arms to prevent
trespass or too enthusiastic picketing.
Nightfall found but one arrest made, and
all saloons were closed at o'clock.
The strikers from the Uswoco mills Of
the United States Worsted Company in
South Lawrence said to-day that the COM
pany had agreed TO advance wages Is per
cent, as requested. The agent Of the U.s.
woco mills declined TO confirm the strik-
ers statement, but admitted that there had
been an adjustment Of differences. The
directors Of the American Woller Company
say In a statement that business conditions
will not permit an advance I'm wages at
this time.
Joseph ]. Ettor, Of New York, leader Of
the strikers. sent out an appeal to all labor
unions In the eastern section of the coun-
try to-day, asking that funds be sent to
Lawrence to help the strikers In their fight
Ettor refuses TO discuss the alleged Black
Hand plot TO kill Governor Foss and wreck
local buildings. Mayor Scanlon has been
provided with a bodyguard as a result Of
threats upon his life
Boston. Jan. l9.-The guard protecting
Governor Foss from possible Black Hand
attack was maintained to-day, and tonight
the Governors house in Jamaica Plain was
under the watchful eyes of two members of
the state police and three Boston police
officers. The state guard against Black
Hand work has been extended also to the
home in Everett of Colonel Il. L. Sweetser,
OF the Sth Regiment, in command OF the
provisional regiment on duty at Lawrence.
II is the belief Of the state police that

DR.. WILEY SUSTAINED

mended-Remsen Pure Food

fFrom The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Jan. ls-The belated report
Of the House committee which investigated
the Wiley McCabe controversy In the Blu
reau of Chemistry was finally signed thls
afternoon The report Will be unanimous
which is practical proof that 1t VIII not oe
the drastic document once contemplated by
Democratic members Of the committee Al
ter binding ali the members TO secrecy,
Chairman Moss heaved a sigh OF rellel
from great responsibility late to-day, and
announced that the report would be mace
public on Monday 1t is understood that
the report will be only partially sats'ac-
tory TO Dr. Harvey w. Wiley and his
friends, as il will not. go so far as TO rec
ommend the dismissal of Solicitor McCaoe'
but il will have harsher things TO say about
the activities Of the Remsen board. The
committee sustains Dr. Wiley, except on
technical and unimportapt details. 1t APP
proves the transfer of Solicitor McCabe
from his position Of power In the food
and drug inspection board, and recommends
that DR.. Wiley have greater latitude in
the administration of the pure food and
drug act.
In this respect the report will be salts

ist 1t is understood, however, that the
friends Of Dr. Wiley are prepared for dis

the Department Of Agriculture The sum

commended. The Remsen board is criticised
for expenditures under a practical blanket

far as TO recommend the abolition OF the

From the point of view OF Or. Wiley's
friends in the department. the chief dsap-
pointment in the document will be lack
Of specific recommendation for the COM
plete elimination of Solicitor McCabe's in
fuence in all pure food matters. The
Presidents decision in the Wiley case has
already exonerated the chief chemist, and
Secretary Wilson later curbed the powers
of solicitor McCabe. The House committee
is inclined TO stand on the Presidents re-
adjustment of the personal equation i'm the
Bureau of Chemistry, and the Moss inVes-
ugatOrs will concern themselves more with
an attack on the expenditures made by
the Remsen board and the creation Of that
board by executive order.

Not So Radical as Expected.

Compared to the report talked about
by the Democrats Of the committee a few
months ago. however, the document is
rather tame. The Democratic investigators
have realized the folly Of their former
position and are content to let Secretary
Wilson have some hand IN running his
department. Solicitor McCabe will not be
dismissed and Secretary Wilson will not
. have to resign
There IS no politics in the report" said
VI Chairman Moss Of the committee. This
fact. together with compromises on some
Of the questions about which the members
OF the committee had differences OF view,
permitted a full agreement.
Virtually the only dissent from the
sweeping verdict for DR. Wiley is based
on the Irregular employment of DR.. II. II.
Rusty, Of New York, as an expert at So
a day, a compensation which was not TO
aggregate over sleOO in any one year, the
amount authorized under the law IT was
for this employment at that daily rate to
get around the official limitation of pay for
such services to $500, that the personnel
board of the department first and then
Attorney General Wickersham, recon-
mended the removal of DR. Wiley from
office.
DR.. Wiley's assistant DR.. Dunlap. found
a memorandum of the agreement on this
subject when DR.. Wiley was absent, and
reported it 10 Secretary Wilson. DR.. Dun
lap almost invariably sided with Solicitor
McCabe i'm the decisions Of the Pure Food
Board, of which Dr. Wiley was the other
member.
Dr. Wiley told the committee five months
ago that he had found 1t useless to appeal
90 Secretary Wilson, and that he had
practically surrendered" his authority for
enforcing the pure food law to McCabe and
Dunlap. He declared the Rusby contract
was necessary to secure bis services. He

SOUTH DAKOTA
ENDORSES TAFT
bis ADMINISTRATION WAS ENTnUsl.
AS1lCAlLY APPROVED BY
MASS CONVICTION

Huron, s. d., Jan. 5.-With
deafening cheers the republicans
of South Dakota, assembled here
today adopted strong resolutions
endorsing the administration of
President Taft and declaring
themselves for his denomination
and reelection.
The event of the meeting was
an address by Secretary Of Agri-
culture James Wilson, the key
note of which was the Inaugural
ton of a vigorous campaign for
Taft.
Secretary Wilson did not pre-
pare a set speech and his adj
dress was given in conversational
style, without an attempt at ora
tory. His defense of the Taft
administration was greeted with
cheers. The meeting was the
first in what is termed as the
"enemy's country" and shows
that an attempt is now inaug-
urated to turn the tide for the
Taft administration.
Delegates to the convention
were elected at district caucuses
and the state central committee,
headed by it's chairman, w. G.
Cook approved Of the gathering,
which gives it the semblance of
authority.
South Dakota's "message to
President Taft" enthusiastically
adopted, reads as follows:
s"The republicans of South Da
kota assembled in mass conven-
ton in the city of Huron, extend
to the President William Howard
Taft most cordial greetings and
congratulations upon his splendid
administration for the welfare of
and progress of the people Of
the whole country. Our conven-
tion has adopted enthusiastically
strong resolutions commencing
your administration and indors-
ing your denomination and elec-
ton for a second term.'

concerned is open to every tax

of unfairness, or failure to fully

In reply to Poe's complaint that
he had been subjected to a rather
sharp examination on his state
ments before the pardon board

We'll IN CRASH
WllllS10N CLOTHING NAN IS SHAKEN
UP IN DERAlLMENT OF NO. 2
LAST MONDAY

The Oriental Limited was
wrecked just west of Fargo last
Monday morning, the standard
sleeper and observation car going
into the ditch. The only Willis
ton passenger to be hurt was E.
H. We'll who was going east on q
buying trip. The report as first
received in this city was that Mr..
We'll was badly injured, but a
telegram to his family assured
them he was not badly hurt and
able to proceed to the Twin Cities
not going to a Fargo hospital as
was reported.
1t is said that loose tire on a
wheel of the observation car caused
the derailment, the track being
torn up for a hundred yards. None
of the passengers in the observa-
tion car were injured.
In the standard sleeper twelve
passengers were sleeping and all
but one, it is reported, escaped un-
injured. The sleeper turned turtle
and rolled down a six foot en-
bankment and was left lying on its
side. 1t seems almost a miracle
that several we're not badly hurt.
Every window in the car was
demolished and those in the car
were severely shaken up.
The trains are all running un-
usually slow on account of the ex-
treme cold which has affected the
rails. The temperament of the
rails is such at the present time
quoted one of the officials that it
necessitates the trains running at u
moderate rate of speed. If they
exceeded this limit while these
rails were frosted it would be the
cause of many accidents from split
and broken rails.

'I am moved to this course by
no inducement of self benefit
or lenience. Heinous as in my
crime, God has not wholly aban-
doncd me and my conscience and
manhood, however, deprived and
blighted, will not admit my still
further wronging by a public
trial, her, whose pure young life
destroyed. Under the lash
ings Of remorse, I've suffered and
am suffering the tortures of the
damned.

the district attorney went into,

tives Of the press were called to !,
