M0YER STAYS IN
THE COPPER COUNTRY
TELLS MASS MEETING OF STRik-
ERS HE HAS RIGHT THERE.

ughton-Declaration of Charles
H Meyer that he intends to remain
in the copper strike district as long
as he wishes, intimations from union
sources that grand jury proceedings
will be attacked on legal grounds, and
the departure of Gov. Ferris without
making direct effort to settle the
trouble, marked the progress of the
local Industrial war.
Meyer appeared before mass
meeting of strikers and sympathizers
which crowded he largest hall in
Hancock beyond its capacity Except
for his FIVE minute address. n, gath

BILE for my leaving violated the laws
of the state and nation by taking. the
law into their own hands. When the
shot was fired into my back it was
not into Meyer alone, but that shot
reached every miner on the continent.
1t was shot in the back of the work
ing 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 conference between the men
and employers would settle the diff
ficulty, and had asked him to propose
such action ito get the men back to
work.
Interest in the jury proceedings was
intensified by the governors declara-
ton that he would take no executive
action while the judicial machinery of
the state was in motion. Attorneys
for the union intimated that the pres
ence of Grant Fellows. attorney-gen-
eral 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 George Nichols as special prose
cutor.
Mr.. Fellows was quick to defend
his course, saying that he not only
was in the grand jury room, but had
questioned Meyer. mo statute on the
Michigan books prohibited this action,
and as chief legal officer of the state
had perfect right TO be present" !"

Houghton, Mich.-Fourteen fresh

WASHINGTON. June so.-Pros.
poets for delay of week or more
in announcing the Interstate Com
merce Commissions decision on the
application Of the. eastern railroads
for a five per cent increase In freight
rates have revived speculations about
the commissions conclusions In the
case. - se
A sudden hitch in the decision
coming just at the time when It was
generally supposed to be on the eve
OF announcement was taken to. indi-
cate that the commission is far from
unanimous on what 1t shall decide.
So many elements enter into the de-
ctsion that close observers of the
commissions procedure are now pre-
dieting that the announcement NAV
be delayed until the middle of July.
The nrst question at issue is whether
the railroads need more revenue and
the second Is how 1t shall be OBJ
tanned.
The hitch seems to be over the
latter proposition. It is being point
ed out more revenue may be obtained
by the elimination of free services
now performed by railroads for large
industrial concerns and by making
reasonable charges for them. The
commission already has taken steps
to bring that out. But the question
of increase in rates with the accom-
panying complications Of classifica-
ton is raising question which, as
yet. the commission has not been
able to agree upon and they are
causing the delay.

STAMFORD. Conn, June 3d.
Definite announcement was made to-
day that the police are working on
the theory that Waldo r. Ballou, the
aged political leader, whose tragic
death last week Is under investiga-
ton; was murdered There was also
an intimation that the ball bond of
Mrs. Helen NJ. Angle, at whose apart
ments Ballou was visitor on the
night Of his death might be recalled.
She is now at liberty under $1,000
awaiting the outcome of the coroner's
inquiry. 1t was learned today that
while the police do not believe Mrs.
Angle had any direct connection with
the death, they do believe she knows
who was responsible for It and may
be regarded as a very material Wit
ness. The theory on which the police,
1t Is understood, are working Is that
a second man was In the Angle apart
ments after Ballou left last Tuesday
night, that the latter returned unex-
pectedly and found him there and
that q quarrel ensued during which

TRUTH OR ERROR
OF HOMEOPATHY
Should Be Established by Both
Organizations Declares
DR.. Wilcox.
tsY AssoelATEE PHtsa,

ATLANTIC CITY. June 30.-The
American Institute of Homeopathy
has met for It's annual convention
here where the American Medical
Association held its meetings last
week. The president, DR.. Dewitt G..
Wilcox, of Boston, in his annual ad-
dress renewed the proposition that
the American Medical Association
should Join with the American Insti-
tute of Homeopathy in proving the
truth or error" of the homeopathic
theory and practice.
"As Hehnemann besought his med
ical conferees to investigate the re-
suits Of his researches and give them
fair trial, so today" he said, the
American Institute formally asks the
American Medical Association the
same thing. We have presented to
them a dignified but carefully
thought out proposition to appoint a
commission to cooperate with the
American Institute to make scien-
tific and searching investigation into
all our claims and deductions. That
proposition is now in the hands Of the
secretary Of the American Medical
Association awaiting answer"
DR.. Wilcox declared in favor of
militant homeopathy" if the asso-
citation refused the proposition, and
militant homeopathy" he said,
means a return to the old time war
fare where lines shall be drawn hard
and fast"
He asserted that the homeopathic
school had gained ground in the
West and quoted reports of its
growth in England, Russia, Germany
and South America.
Two features of his address were
the stress laid upon the assertion
that alcohol is not a medicine, and
upon the commercial tendency Of the
medical profession. The subject OF
