BY CANN|BALS
PAPUANS IN NEW GUINEA MUIR.
DER WHITES AND, PRESUM-
ABLY EAT THEM.

Sydney, Australia. Jan 4-Butchered
by natives in New Guinea was the fate
of two planters named James and
Herman Weber. The men, who We're
brothers, had their plantation in the
heart of the niger country" and
We're set upon by a savage tribe of
cannibals who came from the uneX-
plored regions inland No trace Of
their bodies has peen found and it is
thought hat they were devoured by
the blacks. The news was brought by
friendly natives, who state that the
same tribe had been carrying on a
campaign Of butchery throughout the
district. A punitive expedition has
been formed with the idea of teaching
the murderers a lesson.
Papuans, the name given the black
inhabitants of New Guinea, a Brit
ish possession under the rule of the
Australian commonwealth, are sup
posed to be anenable to discipline,
but occasionally an outbreak of can
nibalism occurs and the whites are
slaughtered mercilessly. The more
civilized Papuans have a wholesome
dread of British law, but in the in
terror of many of the islands law Is
entirely unknown.

The guiding spirit of the great strike
is Max Pine, editor Of the Jewish daily
paper, Forward. He, more than any
one else. is responsible for the organi-
cation of the garment workers and
their present strike.
Mr.. Pin says the strike aims to
win a general average raise of wages
of from Is to 20 per cent. Further
more, he says, the strikers hope to
abolish tenement misunderstanding.
This the strikers regard as Of the ut
most Importance, for they say the
manufacturers are constantly playing
off the tenement toilers against the
shopWorkers.
Mr.. Pine asserts that this playing
off Of one class of workers against
another has resulted not only in wages
insufficient to support the workers,
but has driven them, by the despera-
ton Of competition, into early graves.
Pine, though he looks Young, is an
old hand at labor controversies. In
the summer of 1897, when he was sec
rotary of the Knee Pants Makers
union, he led a big strike and was
publicly hailed by his fellowsworkers
as their natural leader. He has been
a socialist candidate for the New York
assembly.

New York, Jan. 4.-The first week
of the garment workers strike in this
city came to a close tonight with az.
announcement by the chamber Of com,
merce that its offer to appoint a com,
mission to investigate ~impartially
wages, hours and working conditions
in comparison with competitive mar
kets' in the clothing industries has
been rejected bX the strikers.
Under this plan the chamber of
commerce has hoped to call a truce
until the commission completed it's
work and it's decision was then to be
binding on both sides. The chamber
Of commences offer was made through
a belief that "the strike in this in.
dustry threatened to impair the COM
mercial prestige of the city,
Thomas A. Rickert of Chicagot
president of the United Male Garment
Workers of America, commenting on
the strikers rejection of the chamber
Of offer, declared that an
investigation by such a commission
was out of the question:" because the
commission would not have power to
enforce it's findings.
He said the strike would be kept ur
until the demands for better wages
and reduced hours were granted. It
these concessions were made he said,
the strikers might consent to modify
their other demands. Labor leaders
estimated the number of operatives
out tonight at about 0 7,oGO, Including
more than $1,000 women, here and in
Newark, n. j..
A crowd of idle men today attacked
a clothing shop just off Broadway,
where 100 operatives had refused to
quit work. Police reserves with drawn
clubs swept forward into a shower of
rocks and dccayed fruit and dispersed
hestrouble-makers. No one was seri-
ously injured.

CHURCH COLONIES
CANADA
CATHOLIC PRIESTS ACTIVE IN
FINDING HOMES FOR FRENCH
CANADIANS.

Again this year the Roman Catholic
church in Canada has colonized tie
forest primeval," so dear to the French
"habltant.' The names Of Bishop
Latulipe, Father Corbeil and Liable
1vanhoe Caron already have won a
place in modern history like that Of
Pere Marquette and Father Joliet of
primitive days, M with that Of Cam
ada's Bishop Lorrain, whose life here
tofore has been spent as a missionary
on the Dominion's remotest frontier
During Canada's early days, the
Catholic church was foremost in ex-
p%loration n colonizing. and a few
years ago it was decided at high coun-
ellis of the church again to become an
important factor in that field; and,
among other things, to beckon back
across the border the French Cana
dians who have drifted into the
United States, in New England, fill
ing the factories and lumber camps.
Liable Caron, the missioner of OIL
onization for Quebec province, alert
and active, padded up the Harricana
AiNSA ~ WY vi ~tN III wv
years ago to find the best locality for
new homes for the French Canadians.
Already hundreds of families have
taken up 1OO-acre farms along the
route of the National Transcontinent-
al railway. by the time the first
trains are running from Quebec to
C~ochrans, 400 miles to the north,
every farm between the Quebec
boundary and the Harricana river will
be taken. Trains will be running in
about IS months.
Father Eugene Corbeil, cure of La
Tuque, several years g was chosen
colonization missionary by Bishop r.
A. Tulipe, apostolic vicar of Temas-
koming, who has often been called the
Bishop of Colonization.'' Cure Cor
bell is an enthusiastic and energetic
organizer and it was largely through
his efforts that the Quebec provincial
government created an office for
which Liable Caron was chosen. He
is a vigorous man of So and has or
ganized a reference bureau in Quebec
which is extending it's benefits not
only through the congested cities of
French Canadians but to the remote
towns and hamlets where the habi-
tants live in tranquil content.
So great has been the demand Cor
the farms in the northern woods that
colonization c%enters have been estab-
lished at Whitefish river and Moles-
worth river, as well as three which
Liable Caron decided upon at Harri-
ana river, Okikodesek and Robertson
lake.
Not in decades has there been so
picturesque a pioneering as this di-
rected and led by Father Corbeil and
Liable 'Caron, for settlers have t.
travel in primitive fashion about 1000
miles to reach their new homes, which
the Transcontinental will bring with
in 400 miles of Quebec.
Along the route of the Transcontl-
mental lies a rich clay belt, where
splendid wheat has been grown In a
few cleared fields. Already over $50
farms have been taken at HarricaEn,
60 at Robertson lake, $50 at White
fish, 60 at Okikodesek and so at
Wordsworth river, which signifies that
some 500 settlers will be at work with
their axes on the clearings next
spring.

STIPULATION.

Helena, Jan. 4.-(Special.)-Subiect
10 the condition that Albert j. Beck

day approved the Communication Of sen
tence granted by Acting Governor
Leighton in November to the man who
: slew Helen Kelly in Butte in the fall
of 1908 and was sent up for life. DIR.
Leighton reduced the term to Is years.
As "Montana's lean Naljean,' Beck
man achieved a countrywide reputa-
ton through the contributions he had
/. made to charity and hundreds of let
tesr have been received during the
past few years urging his pardon,
When the case was called for hearing

To determine the truthfulness Of
statements made by him, State Auditor
Mccoy went to Butte. From officials
in the bank of w. A. Clark e. Bro.
he learned Beckman had withdrawn
a month or two before the murder
$500 he had on deposit there. He had

civil suits TO recover the money, and
that the day before the murder he
had been assaulted by Z. j. Kelly. Tho

fled because the records of the police

The trial was reviewed by the board.

states, fully verified statements Beck

The Order.
The order continues: THE board
was unanimously of the opinion tina,
there was not sufficient if any just,>
f~ication for the crime, but all ex-
pressed the belief in the reformation
of the prisoner and that in this case
the prisoner had given satisfactory
evidence Of having thoroughly re-
formed.
1T is realized and appreciated that
the popular action would be for this
board to deal harshly with the pris>
oner and deny him any future hope or
opportunity by refusing to confirm the
pardon. However, there is. a human
life at stake, and laying aside all
questions of sentiment and considerine
principally our duty to this prisoner
and society, il has been unanimously
determined by us to confirm the
action of the governor in granting to
the said Albert j.. Beckman n cons
