 CRAFTS OF IGNORANCE.

Des Moines Jan. 9.-Republicans who are at heart imbued with pro gressiyeness nevertheless will utterly fail to install progressivism into the Republican party, declared William E. Cadmus, national organizer of the new party tonight at the state con ference of the Progressiyes.
 Neither of the old parties, not even their best leaders, understand the real significance of the Progress sive movement declared Mir. Cad mus. The Progressive believes in six fundamentals of popular govern ment: the primary the initiative, the referendum. the recall, equal suffrage and control of the courts with their decisions.
 I've maintain that the Sherman law. so adequate in the eyes of the old parties as a regulator of business, is a farce and fiasco continued the sneaker Tt has dissolved Standard oil and other trusts un1y in name and not in reality The Progressive party holds that this is the age of co-opera- tion and combination: that our duty ia reeulation, not dissolution; that the field of competition should be open to all without dishonest favor to any. We believe the tariff should he eliminated from politics altogeth CT, that it is not 6 partisan, but a business proposition.

Cape Men Are Loyal.

lCapetown- Jan 9.-A feature lof the railway strike sitaution encour- aging to road officials is the continu- ed loyalty of the Cape railway men and the refusal of the operating staff of the Durban branch of the Natal railroad to ioi nthe strike.
 Reports from Natal show that the railways are running without inter, ruption, but at Bloemfontein, Orange Free State, the staff has joined the strikers.
 Reports of rioting at Jagersfontein are exaggerated. There were disor- ders there today, however in which five natives were killed and two Flu ropeans injured.

 ton, N. M.

Washington, Jan. 9.-A new method of treating tuberculosis is being in- vestigated by the public health sery- ice through experiments at Fort Staunton, N NJ Officials of the service tonight said they were hope full of important results.

MINERS LEADER DECLARES HE WILL REMAIN IN THE STRIKE
 REGION INDEFINITELY.
HAD A RIGHT TO COME BACK
States That He ApproVer Governors Plan to Get Warning Factions To- gether in Order to Permanently Set tie the Miners Strike.

Houghton, Mich, Jan 9.-Declara-
 ton of Charles III, Mover that he in
 tends to remain in the copper strike district as long as he wishes. intima- tions from union sources that grand jury proceedings will be attacked on legal grounds, and the departure of Gov. Ferris without making a direct effort to settle the trouble, marked the
 progress of the local industrial war today.
 Mover appeared before mass meet
 ing of strikers and sympathizers which crowded the largest hall in
 Hancock beyond it's capacity. Ex-
 cept for his five minute address, the gathering had a decidedly socialistic tinge the other speakers including Seymour Stedman, of the investigation committee of the Socialist party; J.
 w. Lord of Peoria, H., and several
 local Socialists.
 q came back here because I had
 right to-" said Mover. Under the
 laws of Michigan and the cons.itu- ! tion of the United States am entitled to protection. Those responsible for my leaving violated the laws of the
 state and nation by taking the law into .heir own hands When the shot
 was fired into my back it was not into
 Mover alone, but that shot reached every miner on the continent. It was
 shot in the back of the working class and especially into the back of organized wage workers. The union leader said he had tele- graphed to the governor that he ac- cepted the state executives opinion that a conference between the men and employers would settle the diff culty and had asked him to propose such action "to get the men back to
 work"
 Interest in the grand juyy proceed ings was intensified by the govern or's declaration that he would take no executive action while the judi ciaI machinery of the state was in motion. Attorneys for the union inti- mated that he presence of Grant Eel
 lows, attorney general of the state, in the jury room, had voided the body's legality.
 They said there was no Michigan rule that would permit the county to hire Geo Nichols as special prose cutor
 MT. Fellows was quick to defend
 his course, saying hat he not only
 was in the grand jury room, but had questioned Mover. "No statute on the Michigan books prohibited this action, and as chief legal adviser of the state, I had a perfect right to be present" he said.
 In defense of the allegation of she grand jury's illegally because of Mir.
 Nichols part in the proceedings, it was pointed out that many special
 prosecutors had been used in the state.
 MT. Fellows. James Cunningham, state commissioner of labor, and
 Edw J. Minock, the latter's attorney, 1 left late today for their homes. The mission of Mir Cunningham was to
 collect information for the governor.
 All others immediately concerned in
 the state executives inquiry into
 strike conditions left at noon.

WEST SIDE POLICEMEN
HAVE EXCITING CHASE
BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO LO.
CATE THE MAN WHO PUNC-
TURED THE SKY

A return of the good old days Of
the wild and wooley west was given
the citizens of the West side last
night when some stranger tried to
shoot the sky full of holes. About
10:30 o'clock man was seen COM
ing out of the Bridge bar in a condi-
tion that bespoke of his patronizing
the place rather heavily. He disap-
peared and the patrons at the drink
quencherie were startled to hear a
number of shots. Several policemen
ran down the street and coming up to
the man asked who had done the
shooting. He pointed down nearby
alley and said the man who did it had
run down there. The policemen fol-
lowed the supposed disturber of the
peace, but finding no one, ran back
toward their informant's last known
location only to find him gone
The police were greatly disappoint-
ed to think that they had lost their
quarry and went back to the station,
vowing vengeance on the stranger.
The man, whoever he was, has not
been seen around Las Vegas today
and it is thought he left last night
for parts unknown, by the side door

Word was received today to the
effect that Father Adrian Rabeyrolle
