INNOCENT BYSTANDER
WAS HIT With A ROCK
s7,uel HolImicheI Injured Saturday
Night During Fight Between Two
Z Other Men.
From Mondays DaHy.


Samuel Hollmichel, cement spat-
terdasher, was injured late Saturday
night, being struck in the forehead by
q large stone, which was thrown dur
ing row that occurred between some
young men in an alley back OF a
Front street pool hall. 1t seems tina.
Hollmichel had nothing to do with
the fight, except to look on, and that
the rock that hit him was intended for
somebody else. The rock cut an
ugly gouge in his head Hollmichel
was taken to the Emmanuel hospital
He said this morning that ne was not
knocked unconscious. though there
was a slight fracture of the skull.
Z Lester Nelson, the young man who
admitted throwing the rock, was
locked up at the police station. Mel
son said he acted in seIf-defense. He
said he was in the pool hall earlier
in the evening, and soTZebody ihvit-
ed him out into the back alley. He
went out and was attacked. He said
he did not understand why he was
attacked, but believed the fellows
who lit into him took him for some
body else. He spoke particularly OF
one particularly tall fellow, who
pounded him. Nelson said he saw
that he had to get away IN some
manner, so he picked up large
stone and threw it and then ran. Mel
son said he had been a brakeman for
the Omaha and expected to do the
same kind of work for the North
western. Nelson said he himself at
the time of the trouble was not I'M
der the influence of liquor, but he fell
sure that those who attacked him
were.
I Chief of Police Klugherz' this morn
ing swore out a warrant, charging
Lester Nelson with assault in the
second degree.

CLAIMS ROBBERS MADE
ATTACK IN HIS ROOM
William Daley Told Police; That He
Was Clicked and His Bed Set Attire;
Money and Watch Taken.
Eram Mondax,s paIly.

From Mondays Daily.
Jumping up from burning bed in
the dwelling at GA North Front street
shortly before two o'clock Sunday
morning, William Daley, a young
man from Duluth, gave the alarm that
he had been robbed. The burning
bed-quilts were quickly extinguished
and there was no great loss from the
fire. Daley missed s11.S5 and a gold
watch, however, from his pockets. He
declared that two men, a white and
a negro, had entered his room, TAX
en- his money and set fire to his bed:
The police were inclined to doubt his
story, and believed that he might have
set fire to the bed by dropping a cigar
Or cigarette.
Daley said he was single man and
has come here from Duluth to work
in the knitting mills. He admitted that
he had been drinking during the aft
ernoon, but declared that by bedtime
Saturday night he was perfectly Sob
er. He left his door unlocked when
he went to bed. He said he got q
good view of the robbers so that he
would know them if he saw them
again.

control Of business, but I demand
also that blrsiness great and small
(and especially the small busi7
messy be treated fairly and Justly.
Only under such conditions can
business pay living wages or COM
pete with foreign manufacturers.
In this respect again the pres
ent administration holds a policy
entirely opposite. It. has viewed
business enterprise with suspicion
and has made the government a
brake to stop the wheels of iegiti-
mate industrial progress. It has
treated the business men of this
country as though they were sus-
picious characters. 1t has as
sumed that capital and labor are
natural enemies. In four years it
has put this country further on
the road to class war than has
been accomplished In a genera
ton before. The men who stand
with me believe in the. honesty OF
the American working man, they
believe. no less i'm the honesty OF
the American business man, and
they believe that the common
good is to be found not in class
war but in mutual justice. and
fair dealing, not as between cap
itaI and labor in the abstract but
as between men and men,.
You know the road we have
travelled this last four years. Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Daniels are it's
monuments Of executive efficiency.
Our murdered and forsaken citi-
zens in Mexico reveal concep,
ton of American citizenship plain
enough to see but new one for
American patriotism to adopt;
the monument of class bitterness
raised by this administration
throws a sinister shadow across
our political horixop; the unjust
accusation against business men
has left bitter taste in our ma.
tionaI life. If you prefer this path
It is plainly marked. And the end
of it is class wars. -ssa;g
You ask what road propose to
travel? These are the mjiestones
which mark tan executive re-
sponsibIe to the whole nation, a
cabinet chosen from the ablest
Americans, foreign policy that
stands courteousIy but firmly for
American rights, "a flag that pro.
tects the American in his lawful
rights wherever his legitimate
business may take him, prepara-
ton for trade competitions which
shall protect all groups Of Ameri-
can workmen, government over
siqht of business which will fear

average business man is honest,
and finally domestic policy

velopment of American trade end

dustries. ~
We Americans are in one boat.
You cannot strike blow at one
group without injury to all. corn7
mon justice and fair play will
settIe our difficulties If susnicion
and bitterness are let alone. These
are the principles by which ]
propose to be guided.

STATUTE is A PUZZLE
RAIL men SEEK LIGHT
They Would Have High Court Deter
mine Just What the Eight Hour
Law Really Means.
From Mondays CaIiy. :

From Mondays CaIiy. tH4.t 8
st. Paul, October 30.-A. w. Tren-
holm, vice president of the Omaha
road, who returned to the twin cities
Saturday from New York, where he
attended a conference of railroad ex-
ecutives that was presided over by
Hale Holden, president of the Bur
lington lines, said that, the railroads
will attack the validity of the Adam
son eight hour law in the courts.
Neither the railroad presidents nor
the legal departments of the rail-
roads have been able definitely to
learn the meaning of the law, he
said.
Practically every railroad in the
United States has asked it's legal de-
|partment to pass on the meaning and
constitutionality of the law, Mr..
Trenholm said, but uniformity of in
depreciation has been sought in vain.
If the Adamson law is held valid,
the railroads will ask an increase in
freight rates, Mr.. Trenholm said, be-
cause Of the greatly increased ex-
penditure for operation.
"The law is too deep for most of
the railroad lawyers" he declared
"and scarcely any two legal depart
ments agree as to just how it is to
apply. So the railroads want to know
what it means.
IF they have to obey it they want
the courts to tell them So" -
Mr.. Holden will call the executives
together again shortly, and in the
meanwhile plans will be made for an
appeal to the courts.

the opening. The opening was itself
1A cents over Saturdays close. May

closed a little off, December being. as
down at 55% cents. Provisions were
