SAYS UNIONS RULE
U. S. LEGISLATORS

ufacturers Flags Congress-
men as cowardIy.

DETROIT, Mich, May 2O-Charg-
ing that organized labor has failed
to clear itself of "the stains which
violence and lawlessness have made
upon it." John Kirby. jr., of Dayton,
O.. president of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, in his annual
report today dwelt at length on pres
ent industrial and legislative tenden-
lies and their effects upon manufac-
'rers and employers. He said in
art:
Conspicuous in the momentous
vents of recent years that have
transpired in the field of American
industry is the tragedy of Los An
geles and the drama of indianapolis.
As reward to the principal accom-
plices in this conspiracy they have
one after another, through the power
of the invincible inner circle of the
American Federation of Labor, been
reelected to their respective offices.
Point to me one single labor leader
and delegate who has arisen and in
dignantly demanded that such type
of leadership be forever barred from
the administration of union affairs.
During recent years we have wit
messed the prosecution and convic-
ton of many business men under
the Sherman antitrust law for seek
Ing in ,sorne way to protect their
business against the ruthless COMPETE
ton and dominant methods of the
labor trust. If they have violated the
law we have no complaint to offer for
the penalties which they may be
called upon to pay, but we do pro-
test against the free and unmolested
manner in which the labor trust de-
family continues to violate the same
law.
There are men now acting in the
capacity of representatives of the
people, who, under the cowardly pre-
tense of political expediency, have
been willing to violate their oath of
office for the cheap price offered by
the leaders of the organized gang of
dynamiters, who, with their entire
affiliated membership, represent less
than per cent. of the population of
the country.
AND we gaze Win nOffllleu amaze
ment upon the spectacle presented to
us in the closing hours of the last days
of Congress when both the House
and Senate passed the sundry civil
appropriation bill containing a pro-
vision that no fund appropriated for
the use of the department of justice
in prosecuting violators- of the Sher-
man act should be used for the pur-
pose of prosecuting these defiant COM
binations-a bill which William How
ard Taft promptly vetoed. The same
bill is pending again, having been
promptly passed by the House in the
special session. And this is the way
the party In power starts out to make
good its boosted slogan of equal
rights for all. special privileges to
none

MANILA, May 20.-Professor Henry

now here on an investigating tour.
He is travelling extensively and his
inquiries are minute.
Professor Ford carries introductions
from President Wilson.
Professor Ford, who has the chair

the archipelago for two months, for
three weeks being in Mindanao. He
also visited Bagui.
Professor Ford, accompanied by a
son, left here yesterday for Europe.
He will arrive in the United States In

suits of the policy of the Taft admin
istration toward the insular possess
sions. the status of the PHILIPPINES and
their qualifications for sef-goVern-
ment. Professor Ford's report will
be used by the President as the basis
of his Philippine policy.
This is the second instance in which
President Wilson has asked college
professors to gather information for
him. Several days ago 1t became
known here that the President had
asked friend. who is a professor at
ope of the universities. to gather in
formation on banking and currency
to be used as the basis for the Presi-
dents coming message on currency
reform.
President Wilson has had difficulty
in obtaining the type of men he de-
sires to carry out his policies in the
Philippines. This accounts for the de-
lay in appointing a governor general
and in filling other vacancies in the
Philippine service.

THE
DEMIDORF CASE
1t Was Complicated From
Beginning to End
BY LUCY PETERSON

The Demidorf case in Russia many
years ago excited a great deal of atten-
ton there. though interest in it was
confined to the a~ristocracy. The Demi-
dorf estate had been in litigation for
years, and Count Alexis Demidorf, who
was in possession, had been beaten In
the court of last appeal. Peter Ivano-
vich, the representative of another
branch of the family, had won the
property and was waiting for Demidorf
to move out of the paternal mansion in
order to move in his own effects.
Count Demidorf had packed his per-
sonal belongings, had discharged all his
servants and had brought what money
he had to his library to take with him
in his exile from the home of his fore
fathers. The new incumbent drove up
In his carriage and went into the house.
In a few minutes Demidorf, looking
angry and excited. muttering to him
self. came out, passed the coachman.
evidently too absorbed in his wrongs
to notice him. and passed out of sight.
The coachman waited an hour for his
master. then. leaving his horses, went
in to ask If he might not put them in
the stable.
He found Peter I~vanovich lying OF
the floor dead.
Notwithstanding that If Alexis Demi-
dorf had not murdered the man who
had supplanted him he must have
known that he would be accused, but
be made no attempt to escape. When
he was arrested he showed great sur
prise that Ivanoyich should have died
so soon after he had left him. He told
his story apparently with candor.
I%vanovich. he said, had found him in
his library putting in his pocket some
gold pieces which he was intending to
take away with him. Ivanovich had
asked him If the money he was taking

was not included in the amounts that
the court had decided went with the
estate. Stung at this on the
part of the mar who had taken a for
tune from him. he had thrown the
money on the table, telling his sup
planter to take it, since he had taken
the rest. and go to the devil with II.
The money had disappeared, all ex-
cept one piece of gold that was found
on the floor under a lounge. Demidorf
said that he had thrown the coins
down on the table, indignant. and re-
membered hearing n piece fall on
the 1oor and roll away.
Were it not that the motive for the
murder was so strong against Demi-
dorf this explanation might have had
weight. But. In the first place. If Ivan
ovich were dead the estate would go
back to Demidorf. In the second, 1t
was considered quite likely that Demi-
dorf had killed ~Iyanovich in a fit of
passion
There was another matter that some
considered an incentive for Demidorf
to commit the murder. He loved Olga
Massielevna. a girl who had by inheri-
lance an interest in the estate which
could best be served by her marry
ing the owner. A love match had
been arranged between Count Alexis
and Olga, which must be broken with
the loss of the estate. Indeed. the
girls parents had withdrawn their con
sent to her marrying Demidorf and
had accepted a proposal for her hand
from I~vanovich.
The power of parents in Russia yer
their children is now considerable, but
it was then eyen greater. Olga was
forced to assent to the breaking off
with one lover and a new engagement
with the man who had supplanted
him. Her parents believed in Demi-
DORIS guilt. She had implicit faith in
his innocence.
The prisoners lawyer while hunting
for some person other than his client
who had a motive for committing the
murder. learned that the count while
trying to raise money with which to
carry on his lawsuit had become large
~ in debt. One of his creditors had
pressed him sorely, showing great
eagerness to secure payment Of his
claim before his debtor should lose the
