THE PUEBLO INDICTMENTS.
Labor Is Not Exempt Under Anti
Trust Law, Wilson Edict.

Washington. President Wilson
looks on the recent indictment of Of
ficers of the United Mine Workers at
Pueblo, as an answer to criticisms that
the sundry civil bill exempts labor
unions from the operations of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
The President made it clear that the
initiative in the prosecution came
neither from the Department of Jus
tice nor the United States attorney at
Pueblo, but was taken by the federal
grand jury itself.
When he was asked If the Depart
ment of Justice would take hand in
the case, in view of the sundry civil
bills provision exempting labor unions
from prosecution through the use Of
a certain 100000 fund, President Will
son recalled to his visitors the mem
orandum he wrote when he signed the
bill and reiterated that the special
fund affected was only for employing
special counsel and did not affect thu
ordinary processes Of the Department
Of Justice.

ICE FREES EXPLORERS SHIP.
Boat Floats Away While Stefanson
and Crew Hunt on Shore.

Ottawa, ,Ont-Somewhere within the
confines of the Arctic Circle is drift
ing Vilhjalmur Stefanson's staunch
little vessel, the Karluk, safely frozen
in an ice pack. But the leader of the
expedition is not with his vessel and
is unaware of its whereabouts, accord
ing to a dispatch received from the ex-
plorer himself by George S. Desharts
deputy minister of naval affairs and
acting minister of marine and fisher
les. ..
Stefanson's message states that, be-
lieving the Karluk safe in the ice in
longitude west 147', Is miles off shore.
he took party ashore with him to
hunt The next day heavy gales
sprang up, and then fog. When the
weather cleared the Karluk was not
in sight and had undoubtedly been
carried away by the wind which drove
the ice pack off shore.
So far the search for the karluk
has been unsuccessful, but as there is
a crew of 25 men on board no anxiety
is felt for its welfare.

Houston, Tex.-The number of
known dead in the flood which
has spread over the lowlands in
half dozen counties in south cen

Several thousand refugees marooned
in half-flooded cotton gins and dwell

the time being but arc suffering from
hunger and exposure
Four-fifths of the dead We're negro

Of the dead the greater number lost
their lives in the vicinity of Bryan

the Brazos river crumbled. ThdrBrazos

and flooded state prison farm The
prisoners had been removed.
Hampstead, in Waller county, from
which reports had been meagre, re-
ported 20 drowned and others missing.
Reports from half a dozen other
small towns in Waller and adjoining
counties advanced the total fatalities
to $50 in all.
The San Felipe section of Austin
county received shipment of motor
boats from Houston and several hun
dred refugees were moved to safety.
The great danger was from cold and
hunger. For the second successive
night ice was foreca3ted over the 80
mile district about Bryan, where 1900
persons, mostly negroes, are marooned
with little food and few fires.
Urgent appeals for blankets and
food were received from all over the
stricken district from central Texas
almost to the Gulf coast.
Texas cities responded literally to
appeals for money and supplies. Hous-
ton raised $4,000 in cash.

The Republic is dead. Live the Ter
ritory until Statehood is attained.
Fair was the day and thrice fair the
drama which was enacted. From early
morning the crowd, drawn by the fir.
ing of the salute for state, gathered
before the gorgeously decorated public
building and gazed upon the national
emblems which made up the principal
decorative features of the facade.
When the crowds began to gather in
their holiday attire the sun lit up Old
Glory and kissed its folds with fire.
From the topmost point of the Execu-
tive Building the stars and stripes were
floating on the breeze, while thousands
gathered round to watch beneath the
spreading trees.
"And the first thing that the people
saw when they reached the palace gate
was the flag against the blazing sun,
high up, in noble state. A thousand
fingers pointed to the bright and flut-
tering sign, thousand hearts cried
gladly, 'Hurrah That flag is mine!'
