Speaking for myself now, and not
for my clients, may say it is my
belief that, in any conflict between
capital and labor, labor has a right
to do anything which may enable 1t
to accomplish its purpose, so long as
it does not violate any law. Ffgura-
lively speaking, believe that in such
a fight one should use hatchets, raz-
ors and broken bottles, .swatting the
giant between the eyes, biting its
nose and kicking it in the groin.

STRIKE HELD
Continued from Page u

Vice President J. l.. Mclean and
Albert Wilcox composed the Inter-Is-
land conference committee" while
the cause Of the captains was looked
after in this mornings negotiations
by Captains Tullett, Piltz, Gregory and
Naopala
A cablegram has been received from
President and General Manager J. A.
Kennedy by the Inter-Island company,
but it is said merely to convey infor-
nation as to where he can be reached
at any time by cable.
The developments Of the past TWEEN
ty-four hours have been thick and
fast. AS told in the Star-Bulletin yes
terday afternoon, moves were being
made that looked as II both sides
might agree on plan to arbitrate the
differences. The Inter-1sland Conn
pany favored arbitration Openly, and
In a letter last night to the captains
and mates offered to submit the dis
pute to such a Judgment.
In the meantime, the strikers had
employed A. S. Humphreys as attor-
ney, and the offer of the Inter-Island
company was replied to in a sting
ing letter by Humphreys in which he
rejected, on behalf Of Honolulu Har
Dor No. "a, the idea of arbitration
and declared that the captains and
mates would stand pat.
Another development Of last night
was that new demands we're submit
ted by the strikers to the company.
Honolulu. Harbor insists that the In
ter-Island must pay an increase of 20
per cent. in wages to al masters and
mates, and the company was given
until noon today for compliance.
All morning negotiations were on
between the two parties to the dis
pute that has tied up the biggest
transportation company in the Terri
tory. u. s. District Attorney Brock
ons was seen this morning in confer.
ence with lnter-Island officials and
later conferred, 1t is said, with Attor-
ney Humphreys. 1t Is stated that the
district attorney has been retained as
private counsel for the company.
The negotiations made progress
enough SO that shortly before 2 o'clock
today there seemed to be a feeling
that a settlement will shortly be eff
fected.

BETTER DEAD PARTY
 .: THAN DEAD NATION.

r According to an Associated Press | dispatch, published in the Democrat it appears that Senator Dixon, in Boston one week ago, declared ''the nomination of President Taft would mean the political suicide of the re- publican party, and claimed that a conspiracy existed among the papers l in this country to prevent the nomina- tion of Roosevelt
 The Montana gentleman is probably correct in one respect, for there IS little doubt that the nomination of MT, Taft will mean political suicide as far as the republican party is con- cerned, but it is much better that a political party should die than a die tatorShip be established in this coun- try.
 The reuomination of MT. Taft does not menace the life of the nation, whatever it may mean to the future existence of the republican party.
 Senator Dixon is mistaken when he suggests that conspiracy exists among the newspapers of this country to prevent Colonel Roosevelt from serving a third term.
 It is true there is a remarkable un- animity of sentiment expressed by the press of this country in opposition to third terms for presidents, no mat ter; whom the ambitious gentleman may be who seeks one.
 phe newspapers of this country, with very few exceptions are patriotic before they are partisan, and this is to their credit.
 They quite generally recognise that to upset what the colonel has called 'the wise custom which limits the presidents to two terms would en- danger the very existence of this government.
 If there is any conspiracy connect ed with this matter it is on tue part ofs MT. Roosevelt's friends, who are seeking to serve his ambition at the expense of the nations future.
 Thoughtful citizens can hardly help feeling that all third-term advocates are enemies of the republic.

Washington, D. C.-The senate to- night passed the workmen's compen- sation bill as originally framed GA to 15.
 In general the bill would provide ;.n exclusive remedy for compensation and accidental disability and death of employees of the railroads in the in terstate commerce committee without reference to contributory negligence or any rules common to the law limit ing employees liability. In the long debate Senator Root favoring the bill, said one advantage would be the re- lief to laboring men from the class of lawyers who are fattening on their miSfortunes. Senator AshurSt Of Arizona, said he "could not under stand why any attorney for the rail roads would be in favor of the bill.

TUCSON HAS A. 5O:;,
 ! :0OO BLAZE
The Schrader Block on Congress Street Thoroughly Gutted by Devour-
 ing Flames.

The most disastrous fire in the re- cent history of Tucson broke out at two o'clock Wednesday morning in the book and stationery store of w. J. Corbet, where it was discovered oy Ataulfo CampuZano, an apprentice in the Tucson Star office, who was pass ing along Congress street on his way to the telegraph office. He turned in an alarm and the department was soon on the scene. There was some trou- ble about water pressure which, throughout the confagraton, of three hours, frequently recurred.
 The Corbett fire seemed to be all most eXtingushed when the water fail ed and the flames took new start. From this time it was only question as to the extent to which the flames would spread.
 From the Corbett store the flames were communicated to the Fulton Market and then tI1e confectionery store of George Androus. ss In an hour the flames were bursting through the roof and the jewely store of Capo and Hohusen seemed doomed.
 But the fire wall stood on that side and at no time was there any serious danger that the fire would invade the Consolidated Bank building on the other side.
 The greatest danger of further spread seemed to be in the rear, but though the water supply was made quate the fire was held in check until it had burned itself out.
 The firemen took long chances with falling walls and live electric wires. but so far as could be learned there were no serious accidents.
 It was estimated that the damage to the stocks of goods is about $25,O ,OOo, airlv well pnuarod Inv insurance The damaget othe building, owned by Dr. Schrader and MT. Stevens, is in the neighborhood of $30,OOO, covered, it is stated, by insurance

 This summary covers the situation throughout the United States as it ap- pears to me today. It shows Speaker Clark far in the lead which will un- doubtedly be a greater lead by the time the Convention meets. I believe it is conservative resume and is un- biased without prejudice. I know positively that Speaker Clark is the second choice of many States that have now instructed for Wilson, and if Governor Wilson cannot be nomin- ated, they undoubtedly will go to the Speaker in a subsequent ballot which will make his nomination sure.

M MckNIGHTS TRAIL PICKED UP Missing Man Was in sisbee
 ', Monday.

W. N. Mcknight, the Pittsburg travelling man who disappeared from Douglas on April 26, was in Bisbee as recently as Monday morning. He was also in Bisbee Friday. Manager Minshul of the Gadsden hotel at Douglas, spent Sunday in Bisbee looking for Mcknight and went back satisfied that Mcknight had not been in Bisbee.
 He reached this conclusion when he did not find Meningitis name on the registers of any of the better known hotels. Mcknight usually reg istered at the highest class hotels but on the occasion of his somewhat mys- terious visit to Bisbee he registered at a cheap rooming house. Officers regard this as a significant fact, as Mcknight is known to be plentifully supplied with funds. This and other circum stances of the mans disappear ance lead his friends to believe and fear that Meningitis mind may be affected.
 Monday officer McRae received d request from Douglas to take up the case here and see if any trace of the missing man could be found. He viS- ited a number of rooming houses and saloons to learn if any one of Me Knights description had visited their places, and several identified photo graph of the missing man as ire quent visitor at their places and the proprietor of a Brewery Gulch room ing house declared that the original of the photograph had been his guest Sunday and Sunday night and that he had left the city Monday morning. He also said that Mcknight had been in Bisbee on last Friday.
 l.. c. Morganroth, of Pittsburg, Pa |. a friend of Mcknight, is in this part of the country looking for Mcknight. He spent a short time in Bisbee yes terday afternoon, conferring with Officer McRae and returned to Doug las. It is believed that Mcknight went to Cananea.
 Telegrams addressed to Mcknight have been received here but his ad- dress was not known so the tele- grams were not delivered. MT. Nor ganroth declared that he had known Mcknight for a number of years and that so far as he knew he had no peculiaritieS of temperament that would furnish a theory of his disar- pearance. He is said to have repu- tation for soberness and steadiness so that the only reasonable explana- tion of his unusual conduct is that he is mentally ill.-Bisbee Review.
