The house had not been occupied for
over three months. A Japanese care
taker lived in q house on the premises,
Mr.. Abrams is at loss to know how
the fire started and stated yesterday
that the detective department had not
yet discovered whether the blaze was
of an incendiary origin.
The Japanese caretaker claims that
he was awakened by the flames and
telephoned to Mr.. Adams for assist

Fortunately there was little or no
wind at the timo, otherwise the Parker
and Van Valkenberg homes that ad
join the Abrams property would have
been destroyed also. A volunteer

was through their work that these
properties were saved.

THE RULING CLASS &
 LABOR

The revelations that have come to the surface recently prove bel yond every question of 9 doubt! that the employing class is leav-' ing no stone unturned to disrupt the labor movement of the coun- try. The capitaliet class eeing in control of all the functions of government utilize every function of government to suppress and halt labs9r albs! in itss ts onward march to higher plane of civilization.
 The courts, state militia and federal troops seem to be the pro perty of capitalism, for in every conflict between master aHd slave, these forces are active in upholding t}h7e th7e interests of prive- |lege. Not only are the functions of government aligned with ex- ploiters, but strikebreaklng agen cies maintaining private armies have become another force to subjugate the working class in the effort to battle against the brutality of economic slavery.
 Fhe gunman, the spy and the spotter are valuable aides to ln- dustrial tyrants, and the repre- sentatives of the people seem to be reluctant in adopting any mea sures that will remove any of the forces employed by ex xploit- CTS to shatter and destroy the on ly movement on the econo mic

Movers Story Or
 Butte Trouble.

So many misleadieg reports and deliberate falsehoods have been sent broadcast relating to President Mover of the Western Federation of Miners and the Butte affair that a clear and mi nute statement from Jas. Lord, president of the Mining Depart ment A. F. of L., who went to Butte from the strike district of Colorado a few days before the trouble occurred, throws a flood of light ep the situation. Dispat- cdes from Butte have been infor- ming the public +hat the l. wv. sympathizers in aa4e w. F. of M. seeded because of heavy assess ments, grating of offieials, etc., and that when the rioting began in Miners Hall while Mover was speaking he was the first to sneak out of a back door and start for Helena. Lord shows that for days before the annual celebration of the miners large punches of hoodlums and strange faces began to arrive in Butte. as though by pre-arf2n gament, and Meyer. Lord and the other international officers were inform ed that an effort would be made by,the gunmen to get" them at the Fin1en hotel, But when scouts Investigated and found that the officers were ca their guard, the plan was abandoned. When the officers went to the hall mob of 700 to 1000 hooted and howied in the street and po- lice were nowhere in sight. Mover lost no time in taking the platform and stated that he had the resignations of all local union officials against whom objections were raised, flat an impartial president and also secretary sat. isfactory to all factions would be appointed temporarily, and that the books (which the rioters themselves burned that night would be audited and a new e. lection held by special committee men elected by the convention it; self. Nothing move fair could have been offered by an angel from haavan. But the anarchists wanted blood and the shooting began. Being hopelessly outnum- hered, Mover and Lord left the hall but only after all except a. bout a dozen had gone before.

Canal Tolls Speech
of Hon. Jos. HolueU

Pauncefote treaty as preliminary
step to. enable US to proceed with the
building OF the canal at Panama. Had
our eyes not been turned to the Mic.
araguan route at the time, but instead
we had acquired and possessed the
present Canal zone, am satisfied
the Hay Pauncefote treaty would
never have been concluded.
Let us now consider for a moment
the Hay Pauncefote treaty and its
connection, IL any, with the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, which 1t superseded.
The first Hay Pauncefote treaty sub.
mitted to the Senate, in article 2,
reads:
The high contracting parties, de.
string to preserve and maintain the
general principle of naturalization
established in article 8 Of the Clay
ton Bulwer convention, which con.
vention is hereby superseded. adj

TALLY as embodied in the conven-
lions between Great Britain and

principle of article of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, providing for joint pro-
lection therefor. Article Of this
treaty contains joint invitation to

protection and guarantee without
first giving six months notice to
the other.
This article binds the United States
and Great Britain to protect the can.
al upon the express condition that
equality of treatment shall be extend
ed to both of them, but neither gov.
eminent, by this article, is given or
asserts any right to demand anything
from the persons or company under
taking to build the canal. The COM
pany which may build the canal is &C.
knowledged under this article to have
exclusive power to ADOPT OF estaL.
lish such regulations at 1t pleases.
But unless the regulations adopted by
the owning company concerning traf.
fic are just and equal, either one or
both governments had their remedy
in withdrawing from the guaranty Of
protection.
The principle laid down and clearly
established in this article Is that pro-
lection is the price paid for equal
treatment. Simply this ard nothing
more. Protection and equality of
treatment stand in the relation OF
cause and effect.
Article simply reaflirms the same
principle, regardless of whether the
canal is built along the specific route
mentioned In the treaty or by way
of Tehuantepec or Panama. You can
not find a single sentence in the
treaty that gives any right at all to
either our government or Great Brit.
tain except on the basis and princi-
pie of guaranteed protection. This is
the crucial principle of the text Of
the treaty from the first word in 1t
to the end.
Neither in the debates nor by per.
sonal investigation of the question
has 1t been made clear to my mini
the reason or necessity of the Hay.

LIED TO SAVE MEMS LIVES
Death or Capture of Lost English Sol
diers Averted by Boldness of
French Village Priest.

G. H. Perris, in a message to the
Chronicle, tells of a dramatic little
episode that occurred in a French VII
1age.
Four lost TONNES" turned up in
village and asked for shelter. They
had been chased by uhlans, and the
cure probably realized the risks he
ran in taking them into his little
house.
Early in the morning, sure enough,
a German patrol rode into the place,
summoned the Inhabitants together.
and demanded the surrender of the
Englishmen, threatening dire penal
ties. Every one knew where they
were, and turned to their spiritual
guide.
Instinct saves US from reason in
such crisis. The good cure lied bold
ly, in a loud voice, so that his flock
should understand. He had not seen
the Englishment. No doubt they had
gone on toward Paris. The German
soldiers rode on.
What most struck my informant.
says the correspondent, was the ex-
ceeding deliberation with which the
Atkins four performed their toilet and
brushed their hair and clothes before
making their escape. The cure then
left for a safer place.-Pall Mall Ga
zette.
