Blames Meyer For Trouble In
Michigan.

BIames Meyer For Trouble In
Michigan.
In his opening statement for mine
operators. Attorney Allen F. Rees. al
Houghton, Michigan, Monday, told
the congressional Investigating com
mittee he believed that II Charels H,
Meyer had joined hands with citizens
in recognizing the distress of suffer
ers from the Calumet disaster, the
strike would have been settled thai
day.
Referring to the deportation of the
president of the Western Federation
of Miners after his refusal to permit
the victims to accept outside aid. Mr..
Rees said:
"Moyer was mighty lucky that
nothing more serious happened tc
him. AS Bishop Williams of the
Episcopal church remarked when he
heard of the affair: 1t was evidence
of the greatest self-restraint ever
known to me. For feeling ran very
strong that night and Meyer was
fortunate that he had men of such
restraint to deal with"
Rees said that If the investigation
we're a judicial proceeding, the op'
orators would rest because of 1.-THE
lack of any evidence tending to show
anything illegal in our conduct
Reviewing the important points of
the strike, Rees said:
Allen agitators and organizers
came into the copper district in 1907
and began sowing the seed of discon-
tent among our employees. They
succeeded in doing so among a GER
tain number of them by making a lot
of promises impossible of fulfllment.
1t was known for more than a year
that the strike was inevitable in or
der to carry out the plan of the West
ern Federation of Miners to obtain
recognition of their union, which
would mean the total wrecking of in
dustry, for we could not continue to
operate the mines under the con
dition that would be imposed by the
federation"

Jackling Pays Good Sized Income Tax
Among the late reports to reach
the Office of the United States Inter-
nal Revenue Office, was that of ID. C.
Jacklin, operating head of the Utah
Copper company and several other
low grade copper mines, who is one
of the largest income tax payers in
this district. The reports of tax
payers are treated as confidential by
the government and no figures are
given out, says the Salt Lake Tele-
gram.
However, it is understood that Mr..
lacking will pay the income tax on
more than half a million dollars.
His salary and income from COM
panies in which he is interested will
aggregate approximately $780, 900.
In addition to this Mr.. Jackling re-
ceives large fees when engaged ip the
capacity of examination expert. His
fee for a weeks examination of gold
properties in Alaska recently is said
to have been $250,000. 1t is also
said that he received a similar fee
for his examination of the petroleum
fields in California, which required
ten days time. However, these fees
in some instances are exempt, be-
cause he accepts stock in corpora
lions for his services. 1t is estimated
that his total income, including sal
airy, venue and expert fees is near
ly a million dollars a year.

Pain has been explained as an &C.
compartment of the Promethean spirit
of life, which. in perceptible haste to
proceed upon its journey, takes the
most ready and efflcacious path on
ward, needless OF what it breaks and
brushes on the way. But pain Is
rather an impulse within the spirit of
life. Pain is its conscience urging 1t
on. Unless we were pricked on by
pain we should wish to sta-.d still, con-
tent with our own satisfaction, meanly
Indifferent to higher pleasures; with
out pain all life might have been con-
tent to house itself in low animal
forms and wallow in bestiality. ease
and lust. 1t may be that the onward
progress might have. been accom-
plished without pain, we might have
been whirled upward, insensible satel-
lites, toward the universal, goal. But
we have received the privilege Of con-
sciously sharing in the upward jour-
ney. Each onward movement must be
a wrench from the past, each moment
parting, each step an eternal fare
we'll. These noble Inconsistencies are
tasks imposed by pain.-From the At

Germans Escape in Fog.
The German squadron escaped prac-

suit that drew England's great ships
from their stations at sea could not
catch up or cut off the fast raiders.
The Germans had in their favor
heavy mist, which covered the sea, and
they made rapid withdrawal after
dropping shells on the coast towns for
about thirty minutes.
The only official mention of damage
to the raiders is contained in an Off
cial British statement which said the
batteries at Hartlepool had damaged
at least one of the vessels which ap-
peared there. r.

British Expect New Attack. ~.
t$f The Newcastle Chronicle, according
to a dispatch reaching London this
evening, says there is a probability of
hostile attack on Tynemouth, in
Northumberland, at the mouth Of the
Tyne, and about twenty-five miles
north Of Hartlepool f. ~ II
The mayor of Tynemouth has issued
q notice declaring that the local emer-
gency committee has been advised by
the military authorities to have the
gas in Tynemouth turned off at once
for military reasons. The civil popula-
ton have been advised to remain in
doors, but If necessary to leave their
dwellings they are advised to go in
the direction Of Newcastle. eight miles
away. e.
Started on Monday Night.
It was supposed that the admiralty
was thoroughly prepared to prevent
such a raid as occurred, and German
threats that a%successful attack would
soon be made on the English coast
were taken as mere boasts.
From all that can be gathered from
the official news and such detailed re-
ports as have come from the 50-mile
stretch Of coast that suffered from Ger
man shells it would seem that the Ger.
man cruiser squadron left its base at
Helgoland probably on Monday night,
since it could hardly have made the
distance between Helgoland and the
northeast coast of England on Tues
day night alone.
