President Walker of the Illinois Mine
Workers has seriously prejudiced the
cause OF the copper strikers and has
invited sharp ccnsure FOR himself by
his attitude toward the state militia.
He issued and sent broadcast sweep
ing set of allegations about the con-
duct OF the soldiers in the present
struggle. He accused them of assault
ing strikers aud h'i~ families ~
shooting peaccablc man in the back,
Of riding down dcfcnseless persons ON
the sidewalk and OF outraglng young
girls. Being called to account by Gen
eral Abbey on behalf Of the militia
Walker is dilatorv. puts off tho formu-
latiou of the charges asked for and tho
production of commemorative evidence.
and coolly goes away from Calumet
and says he may attend to the matter
when ne comes back in n week or two.
The people VI Michigan generally. we
believe. did not credit the charges
when they were made, hut maintained
an opon mind about tho matter. Skep-
teal though they might be. they wera
ready to listen to proofs and To pun

the accusations were upheld. But the
people Of the state will look with sus-
picion row on man who could pub
!ish boldly accusations Of So appalling
20 nature against Il body of men So
large and ordinarily well conducted as
our national guard and could then
calmly ignore - demand for substan-
jiation.

a reckless slanderer, and his effort to
win sympathy by unworthy methods
will inevitably react upon HIM and his
cause
The matter is one of which tho state
authorities should take cognizance. we
think. Walker should be compelled 70
face the issue lac has raised, and either
To substant.ate his allegations forth
with or be exposed To tho world as
soldiers are the servants of the state
and the state should protect them from
wanton defamation, as well as punish
them If they have violated the re-
sponsibilitics of their positions.

City COurt...FuIler Judge

Ida Loveley, 25, was sentenced to 30 days in jail by Judge Fuller Friday
 morning after she had plead guilty to being found drunk. According to the officers story she came to the city about five weeks ago and had been in
 more or less of state of intoxication
 ever since. The officer had been called
 to her boarding place on complaint that she was making a disturbance. There were some twenty-five empty bottles in a bureau drawer. The wom. ans mother was sick and Thursday she was ordered removed to the hospi- tal by physician. The woman was in the railroad station Thursday after noon and was intoxicated. She insis t.
 ed upon lying down on one of the seats and had bottle with her. A railroad official took the bottle and confiscated it and afterwards Mrs. Loveley was loaded into a conveyance and taken to the police station. She begged all night for liquor and in the morning was beseeching the officer to get her a drink. She promised the court that if allowed to go she would go back to Worcester where she said she came from and would not drink again. IL was apparent that she was in no con dition to resist temptation if given her liberty so was sent to jail that she
 might straighten out. She was mar ried to a man recently discharged from the army few weeks ago but her husband did not appear to aid her.

Final Hearing of Arnold Estate

The final hearing Tn E. NJ. Arnold's bankrupt estate was held before Judge A. J. Bowen, referee in bankruptcy at Willimantic on Saturday. The special matter for consideration was the fees of the lawyers in the case. Attorneys Russell and Torrey of Putnam appear ed before Judge Bowen to explain more fully their work in the case. The referee had previously advised them that their original charges would be re- duced, naming fee Judge Bowen thought would be equitable. As a matter of professional courtesy the hearing was not public. It is stated by the referee that the matter was talked over and compromise sum agreed upon, which will appear in Judge Bowen's report to the United States district court. Attorney $. J. Harvey presented claim for legal ser vices, but was not present at the hear- ing. Trustee Holbrook was in attend ance. The dividend to be declared to the preferred creditors will be between 50 and 70 cents on the dollar.
 The fees and expenses allowed were as follows: Searls & Russell, S3S9.60; Attorney Charles Torrey, Putnam, S7S6.60; Attorney Samuel B. Harvey, WiI1imantic, S54l .60; Deputy Sheriff George F. Holbrook, Putnam, $5s0.92; Andrew J. Bowen, Willimantic, ref cree in bankruptcy, S562.95; Attorney NJ. H. Geissler, Putnam, for stenogra- phy and typewriting, Sl01 1.60. This leaves about $1 900 to be divided among the preferred creditors, their claims being entitled to priority under the bankruptcy laws.

One hundred years ago, lacking six months, Andrew Mills was born in Thompson.

but the westerner has to keep wide
awake to preserve his equilibrium.
The most useful vehicles for long
journeys in Persia are the palakis and
kajavahs, the quaintest contrivances
for travel to be seen anywhere. These
persian cabs are fixed upon mules.
Some skill, too, is required in load

freight, care being taken that the two
people who travel side by side are
about the same weight. If tiny nus

Similar care has to be exercised in
dismounting, for il one passenger
jumps out without giving warning OF
his intention, his neighbor is shot to
the ground with unseemly haste. The
only difference between the kaJavah
and the palaki is that the latter is
open, while the former is covered with
a light waterproof roof and is cur
tanned against bad weather.
The most comfortable means Of
