ETRIKE STILL UNSETTLED

Nothing seems to have been ac-
uplished by the conference of
miners and representatives of
mine owners.
Both sides agreed that all of the
IS of the state should be lived
to, but when the miners insisted
On a signed agreement by the
erators that the laws should be
Eyed and that all men now on
ike would be re-employed with
discrimination or favor, the
frators refused to sign such an
Feement, contending that to do
Vould be an implied and tech
bal recognition of the union.
Osgood banged his fist on the
Die, and said the operators never
Fuld recognize the union. He
i'd Brown and Wellborn backed
b up in this. Thus the confer
Ne ended with no favorable re.
us.
The governor declared that he
ieves each side is equally to
lne for the strike and for pres
conditions, and that neither
sufficient grounds for continu-
+ the strike. Each side is fore
the issue and is unwilling to
tst the other side, he declared.
There is some friction between
ciyil and military authorities,
the end Of the strike is not as
in sight.

SEEK GOVERNMENT AID

The San Luis Valley Internal
Improvement association was or
ganized at Hooper November %.
The prime mission is to get the
general government to construct a
drainage channel some fifty miles
in length, through the north por-
tion of the San Luis valley, to the
Rio Grande. This would reclaim
that water-logged section which
during the eighties produced more
wheat than is now produced in the
entire San Luis valley; and that
section is less than one-fifth of the
area sought to be drained. The
greater portion of all the land of
the area sought to be relieved is as
good as the best land in the state.
One hundred petitions to the
government are in circulation and
are returnable December 10, when
they will be forwarded to Wash
ington.
Following are the officers of the
association: r. S. Shahan, Ala
mosa, president; G. G. Davlin, Ala

WILSON sieNe THE
 sUNDRY CIVIL BILL
But Would Like to Have Vetoed Dis
 eliminating Exemptions.

Washington, June 2S.-President Wilson today signed the sundry civil appropriation bill, with a statement declaring that he would have vetoed if he could the provision in it exempt ing labor unions and farmers organ izations from prosecutions under a certain s30o,o0o fund designated for the operation Of the Sherman anti trust law.
 The president characterized the ex- emptfon as %un5uetifabie in character and principle" but called attention to the fact that the department of justice possessed no other funds with which to enforce the antitrust law. The urgent need, of various government departments for funds appropriated by the bfli influenced the president to speedy action on the measure. The bill carries 311s. 900. 600 in appropria- tions and was vetoed by Mir. Taft on March because of the labor exemp- ton clause. When the bill was rein troduced and passed by both houses in Identical form by the present con- gress. this provision was the subject of sharp debahe.

Washington, June 23.-AttOrney Gen. eral McReynolds will make a full re- port to President Wilson tomorrow at the presidents request on the causes that moved him to direct postpone ments of the Diggs- -Caminetti white slave cases, and the trials of two di- rectors of the Western Fuel company, the basis of the resignation of United States Attorney John 4. McNab Of San Francisco, and his sensational charges against the head of the department of justice.
 Demands Removal of Attorney General.
 One of the. day's most remarkable de- velopments in the unusual episode was the receipt by the president of tele- gram from Clayton Harrington, speclal agent of the department of justice ln charge of the federal bureau of lnYes- tigation at San Francisco, demanding the removal from office of Attorney General McReynolds, Herrington's ot1l- cial superior. Officials tonight declar- ed that the question of summary acton in Herrington's case probably would be taken up by the attorney-general
 Looking for McNab's Successor.
 The department of justice was in ig- norance of the special agents protest until the publication in the afternoon papers It was then called to the at- tention of the attorney general. Early in the day, before Herrington's action became known at the department, oHl- ciaIs were somewhat mystified and lat CT amused by the receipt of a telegram from another special agent applying for the vacancy" at San Francisco. While no action has yet been taken on the McNab resignation, officials let It be known that the president was look ing for successor. They stated tna'

DEMOCRATS MAKING
 WAR ON FREE SUGAR,
EnIiven Caucus by Attacking Presi- dents Programme.

Washington June 23-Democratio senators opposed to free sugar enltven- ed the senatorial caucus late today be- ginning their final effort to change the schedule before the tariff bill reaches the senate for general debate. Western and Louisiana senators were prinned to make a titanic fight against the provision approved and urged by President Wilson which provides thai sugar shall be free of duty in 1916. Senators Shafroth, Colorado, and, Walsh of Montana took up the contest when the schedule was reached sud-T denly late in the afternoon.
 It had not been expected that tho caucus would reach sugar before to- morrow but the metal and WoodE schedules were rushed through with little discussion and before five o'clock the decks were cleared for the first and most determined internecine party z tariff struggle. This will be the acid.S test for free sugar. To the decision ofs' the caucus the democratic SenatorS will be pledged and the prospect ia that only Senators Thornton andA Ransde1l of Louisiana will be releaSeff from the binding resolution tSat is tosS be adopted. There is a possibility oEN one other senator asking for IelieI. V
 Senator Ransdell who is leading the1 fight on free sugar hurried from tho caucus room when it was sSparents
 
 reached and sent a message for Sena-s \ tor Newlands of Nevada. He vaant- ed all the democrats who do not favor the administration plan present. Sem ator Newlands soon arrived and imme- diately thereafter the first paragraph of the schedule was read. Senator4 Shafroth of Colorado, was the first speaker.
 Senator Shafroth of Colorado wMN the first speaker. Coming from a b0S& state, he made a vigorous plea for dis-' crimination of the provision for free sugar In three years. He submitted many briefs and stat1stfch to support the claim of the beet manufacturers that free sugar would mean the cr4p- bling if not the death of the industry.
 Senator Walsh of Montana, who also will make a fight against free wool, is standing by the anti-fRee sugar sen-s ators In the caucus fight. He folfoweds Senator Shafroth and had not conclud<s ed when teh caucus adjourned until to- morrow.
 Until sugar was reached the caucus had been very harmonious. Not 8 change was made in the report of the majority members of the finance com-s mfttee on the wood and wooden nanu- facture schedule. The only material change in this from the Underwood bill was tho free listing of cedar boards and cabinet woods.

1 YOUTH ATTEMPTS TO
 SHOOT UP A COURT.
His Mind Said to Have Been UnbaI'
 anoed by Cheap Literature.

Washington. June 23.-Judge, law yers policemen and spectators were sent scurrying to cover in the criminal court here late today when kay M. Stewart, aged Is, fired three wild shots in an attempt to shoot up the court. At the first crack Justice Wendall F. Stafford disappeared beneath h1S desK and out in the courtroom there was wild scramble for places or sa1ety- Some sought refuge under tables or behind heavy chairs, and others. lren = zied by fear, leaped into windows ana dropped to the ground. some 15 or 2O feet below.
 Justice stafford had just refused to release Stewart on probation after conviction for attempted highway rob- bery.
 The boy whipped out ..32 cal1bre automatic pistol and fired three shots, two of which narrowly missed Asslst- ant United States Attorneys SamueI McComas. Hawken and Harvey Given and Policeman Mofitt.>P was Tn the attitude of turning / ards the JuoSe as if to shoot when a witness sprang 11Don him and choked him into 1nsen- sibility.

 The judge had barely uttered the last word in passing sentence when the prisoner brought out his pistol ana began to shoot. As the youth wheeled and faced the bench Edwin Blalne' clerk in the department of agriculture, who had been witness for the state' seized the boy by the throat and car ried him to the floor. Stewart lay un- conscious for several minutes alter be- ing disarmed. Later he was removed to the cellroom beneath the courtroom, where he refused even to admit that he did the shooting.

PELkEY IS ACQUITTED
 OF MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE.
Charge of Judge Was UnfavorabIe to
 the PusiIist.

Calgary, Alberta. June 23.-Arthur Pelkey, the pugilist tonight was ac- which was placed against him as a result of the death of Luther McCar- thy who died in the first round of a scheduled ten round bout at the Burns arena here May 24 last. It was charged by the government that McCarty died from a blow administered by Pelkey.
 The jury was out only 45 minutes before returning the verdict, although Chief Justice Harvey's charge was said to be unfavorable to the defend- ant.
 Tn his charge to the iury MT. Harvey admitted that there was some doubt as to whether the contest was illegal, but he said there was no doubt that death had been caused by a blow and the jury should consider only whether the defendant was guilty of causing the death of his opponent in an effort to win the prize placed upon the con- test.
 Pelkey was jubilant when he learned of the verdict and declared it was ex- actly what he expected
 The verdict was to the effect that the contest was a prize fight, but that Pelkey was not guilty of manslaughter inasmuch as the blow he struck was not intended to cause fatal results. A demonstration followed the announce ment of the verdict and friends of the accused crowded around him to extend congratulations.
 The contest which resulted in the manslaughter charge was scheduled ten round affair and terminated when it had been in progress less than two minutes. McCarty fell to the floor af- ter a Quick exchange of blows. Pelkey followers in the stands cheered voci- ferousIy, believing a knockout blow had been administered. Deathlike still- ness however, followed when the pugilist failed to show signs of life Doctors soon pronounced him dead.
 Orders were issued by the crown for the arrest of all those connected with the promotion of the fight. Pel- key. Tommy Burns, promoter of the contest. Referee Ed Smith and Will liam McCarney, McCarty's manager, were taken into custody, the latter two being held only as witnesses.
 Startling developments followed in rapid succession after the principals of the affair had been released on bonds. The, coroner'S jury, which the crown charged was composed of friends or Burns, held an inquest and returned verdict exonerating Pelkey and the others from all blame. The verdict was set aside by the crown. Burns arena was burned down the night of the fatal contest and four persons nar- rowly escaped death. The origin of the fire has never been ascertained. The trial, which was begun June 1S. lasted only four days.
 The trial of Tommy Burns will be held here in October.
