TOLEDO PEOPLE WON'T PAY
MORE THAN THREE CENTS

MORE THAN THREE CENTS
Toledo, O., March 2s.-Street car
conductors refused to accept three
cent fares today and thousands of
persons, declining to pay more, were
allowed to ride free, pending federal
court action expected to effectively
make Toledo's street car fare war
lgal tangle. The city councils or
dinance decreeing three-cent fares
became effective today. There was
no disorder.
Officials of the Toledo Rail and
Light Company, warned that the
city's police force and courts would
stand behind citizens demanding
three-cent transportation, forestalled
violence by declining to charge the
insistent passengers. Mayor Keller
was among those who attempted to
ride for three cents today. Like
others, he was given free ride. "

 Old I5aak is still recognized as the final authority on the art of angling.

No FIGHTING HERE
A Strong Appeal for Calm Among the
 Foreign Colonies in Chicago.
(Chicag ge Herald. ]

Many thousands of Americans of European birth of extraction are deep ly stirred by the wars begun or threat ened across the Atlantic. Their emo tions are natural. Their brothers in race and in blood are fighting and dying. Their hearts are hot-their hands stretch outto help their broth CTS
 But we must have no lighting here!
 The appalling calamity which has come upon Europe through the mad. ness Of hrough the insan- ity of statesmen is in many ways our calamity. The very great majority of us are of the European races. With the old lands across the sea we have all sorts Of tiesof tradition. of re- mem mbrance of recent migation and actual kinship.
 But we are Americans. and this Is not our war.
 Our government has done all 1t could to avert this hellish strife. As q nation we view it with profound sorrow. We will be called upon to aid it's 7Eictinns We should be ready can have neither friends nor foes in Europe now. Our government will rightly maintain an attitude Of rigid neutrality
 It is the duty of all personally to be neutral
  incidents of forgetfulness of that duty. Americans have spoken words provocatfve to other Americans; par ktisan badges have been donned; acts of insult have been committed upon national ensigns.
 Let there be nc more of this, Such demonstrations violate our American faith. When we came to these shores we left Europe behind Those who have renounced allegiance to the lands of their birth have sworn fidelity to the land of their choice.
 The first duty of us all is to Amer ica.
 The transfer of Elrope's quarrels to l American soil is wrong and cannot be pern1itted. Public authority must be prompt to repress any such excess. Whatever our racial sympathies, we must all remember now that we are Americans first!

kept out Of sight completely This may be due to sound. or to a delicate responsiveness to vfbnafions Accu- rate statistics would be Interesting, but in general way it would seem as though success and failures were about evenly divided betw cen bright days and dark ones.
 morning and other times of day, it
 may be taken as fact from the first that the middle of the day is a very poor time for fishing. Almost the only occasions when this may be said not to hold true Is on a day when the sky is overcast. Then midday is just about as good a time as any other. Just after sunrise is certainly the pleasantest Mme of the day to fish. and because the fsh usually bite very well, this may be said to be the preferable part of the day

PERSON THANKS WORKERS
FOR SUPPORT IN HIS TRIAL
ACQUITTED LABOR EDITOR ISSUES
STATEMENT FROM CLINTON.
Heart Overlooking with Gratitude for
Loyalty and Generosity of Rank
and File of Organized Labor.

Carl E. Person, editor of the Strike
Bulletin at Clinton, ILL.,, who was ac-
quilted last week of the charge of muir
dering Antoine Musser, strikebreaker and
detective for the Illinois Central, has is
sued the following statement.
Clinton, ILL.,, Oct. IL, 1914.
My acquittal pleases me most be-
cause it vindicates me in the eyes of
those 1 love and justifies my humble
efforts to serve my workers.
Back of the struggle to send me to
the gallows was the brazen campaign of
lawdefying dollars The time had come
in the opinion of the haters of organ
lied labor to annihilate the labor move
ment. Every man who dares to stand
up and insist upon the right of the toll
er to unionize in defense of his liberty
and home is marked target. 1t was
not me they were after. l am too hum
BILE to have any meaning to them. 1t
Is our cause, our movement, that they
are trying to strike down.
Ny trial compensates me in at least
one way. 1t has brought to the atten-
tion of the public that prosecutions are
not always begun in the name of the
people. Neither are they always direct
ed and controlled by the state. In nv
case Attorney Frank Comerford raised
the issue at the opening of the trial.
The issue was clear cut, and it has con-
vinced ~ honest farmers that it was
the Illinois Central railroad, and not
the state of Illinois, that wanted NV
blood.
Logan county has been just to me. A
jury drawn from its citizenship has vim
dicated the cause of organized labor. 1t
has returned me TO the ranks of citi-
zenship, innocent of the crime of muir.
der. l am not destroyer. In my
humble way 1 have tried to build up
rather than tear down. This is the COS
pei of unionism.
Labor has been loyal to me- Ny heart
is too full to put in words my graft
tude. Lincoln has lived up to its glori-
GUS name. In this my hour of vindi-
cation l want to publically express my
appreciation of the splendid service rem
dered me by Attorney Frank Conner
ford, who has so Loyalty stood by me
from the beginning.
We have reached the crisis in our in
dustrial struggle. The appeal of the
hour is to the manhood and courage of
the workers. My faith is reborn. We
will win. We must win. My only re-
gret is that l have not the ability to
serve better.
To every worker in the ranks my
heart beats thankful message. feel
unworthy of the loyalty and generosity
that has been shown me. The fight to
crush labor is doomed Men, not dollars,
will be the order of the new day.

COLORADO LEADS IN RARE METALS
Production Figures Show Total Value
Last Year Was $25,35o,ooo.

Figures given out in Washington this
week by the United States geologic sur
vey, and telegraphed to Denver by the
Associated Press, show that Colorado
ranked second among the states in the
production of gold in 1913 and first in
the combined production of gold, silver
and other precious metals.
The report places the total gold pro-
duction of the state at S76057 ounces,
valued at approximately $ls,OOO,OOO
The silver production of the state was
about 100000 ounces. valued approx
mately at S5,5OO,OOO. The production of
uranium and vanadium, not included in
the figures given out by the govern
ment bureau, was valued at about ST.
$4,000, making the total value of pre-
cious metals produced in the state last
year approximately S25, $4,000.
California ranks first among the
states in the production of gold, but
has light production of silver and no
uranium and vanadium. Nevada led in
silver production, but had compara-
lively light output of gold. Utah, the
only state besides Colorado that pro-
duces uranium and vanadium in consid-
cradle quantities, ranked third in silver
production, but showed a light produc-
tion of gold.
