STATE C0SSACKS.
ST0PLAb0R man
State Police Pre-
vent Union Organizer From
Making Speech.

ASHLAND, Pa, Nov. 10.-State
cossacks arrested Con Foley, former
organizer of the International Jour-
neymen BARRIERS union, while making
a speech at this place, and the Incl
dent has awakened citizens to the
menace Of this thug outfit. -.
Foley is a candidate for sheriff OF
this county on a non-partisan ticket.
He secured a. permit from the au-
thorities to make an address on the
streets of Ashland and discussed ma
tional and state affairs, paying his
respects to local politicians. Two
state cossacks broke through the
crowd, seized the speaker and threW
him into, an automobile. = The crosEd
surged around the machine, threat
ening to overturn it if the 1awless cos
sacks did not release their prisoner,
who was finally dragged from the car
and placed back on the soap box.
The Ashland Daily News made this
comment on the incident:
''Foley's address was lawful in
every respect. Not one reasonable
utterance did he make. The chief
burgess permitted him to make a
public address and the chief burgess
was the proper officer to interfere
if interference was necessary.
1.-The Ashland Daily News does not
believe in many of the doctrines ad-
vocated by Con Foley, but the Ash
land Daily News believes in law en-
forcement and in the protection of
citizens in the rights guaranteed them
under the constitution and the law
IF the Pennsylvania state con-
stabulary has become part of any
political machine; if it is in any part
dominated Or controlled by any cot
erie of politicians; If its members
violate the laws instead of enforcing
them without fear or favor; if its
mem bers use their high authority to
shield or protect lawbreakers, then Il
were better for the commonwealth
that the organization be disbanded."

Union labor scored political VIC

enemies. Labor picked him UP and
endorsed him 70" judge. He came
within 81 votes of passing the COM
bined opposition against him. He
received SAT votes to 445 cast for Vic
tor j. Michealson and 139 for J. A.
Fesseaback, the present incumbent.
H. J. Hamann was elected first
ward alderman without opposition.
He was satisfactory to labor.
In the second ward S. P. Golen,
president Of the Sulphite and Pulp
Wood workers union, a victim of the
resent strike at Cloquet, was elected
alderman over D. G. Anderson.
In the third ward N. j. Hubert,
prominent in the Papermakers union,
also a strike victim who was refused
reinstatement in the mill after the
strike was declared off, was elected
alderman over H. E. Nelson, getting
248 votes to his opponents 1875.
The American Legion put up a can

Unionists and their friends are

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 1o.-The

Large numbers of foreigners, unac-

reached these elements is the Miners

SENATOR WATSON
ATTACKS LEGION
Georgian Charges Big Soldier
Organization Is Bossed By
Former Officers.

WASHINGTON, Nov 10.-Senator
Thomas e. Watson Of Georgia Tues
day carried his fight with the, army
into the camps of the American
Legion. He charged that Secretary
Of War Weeks was attempting to en-
list the aid Of the legion 'in an effort
to ,whitewash'' his charges that
American soldiers were hanged with
out trial in France.
And expect them to rally to the
secretary of wars aid," he added.
1.-The American Legion is chiefly or
ganized by former officers of the A. e.
r., who want to perpetuate tho mill
tary spirit in the United States"
~. Watson's remarks were: provoked
by statement made by Secretary
Weeks yesterday appealing to Hama
ford MacNider, commander of the
legion, ito lend its assistance toward
obtaining all facts bearing on the
issue which has been raised" by Sem
ator Watson.
Watson today also demanded
speedy action Of the committee ap-
pointed by the senate to investigate
his charges. The committee met in
executive session yesterday to organ
ize and then adjourned until next
week.
"Why cannot the committee go
ahead >now?" asked Watson. I'm
ready. They say the tax bill and
other matters are engaging their at
tention. Well, other committees find
time to meet.
1T is to be expected that the Amer
lean legion would side with Secretary
Of War Weeks and against me. 1t
has attacked me on a number of
occasions because I had the courage
to: stand up for the private in the
ranks and against the officers who
bulldozed and nistreated him.
During my campaign in Georgia
last year I made charges such as ]
am, making now. The American
Legion attacked me and broke up one
of my meetings.
II have no fear of anything it can
do. The great mass of former SER
vice men who did the real fighting
do not belong to the American Le-
gion"

son has placed before the committee
contain many charges Of brutality and

HACKER BEATS NEFF
- IN FAST Is ROUNDS

With fast growing cauliflower
ear encased in gauze and adhesive
tape and his hair plastered down with
the same material, Willie Hacker of
El Centre made his second appearance
at Mexicali yesterday in the Owl box
ing ring, with the redoubtable Chet
Neff of Los Angeles as his opponent.
In repose Hacker makes an awk-
ward appearance in the ring, and the
surgical adornment of his cranium did
not lend anything to his appearance
His long, gangling legs spread far
apart and his longer arms extending IN
front of him, made the Ri Centro boy
an apparently easy mark for the
bulked up, sturdy figure of Neff.
But in action Hackers entire ap-
pearance changed. He was lightning
fast on those long feet of his, and that
far reaching left jab found Judgement
time and again on the point of the
Neff chin. At in-fighting where it was
believed he would be at disadvantage,
his wicked right kidney punch did val
liant work for him with corresponding
damage to Neff.
The fight went the full Is rounds
with neither boy hitting one another
hard enough to raise dust from
powder puff, but as an exhibition of
scientific boxing it was dream. The
decision went to Hacker on points and
it was a deservedly popular one.

MEXICALI, April lS.-At no stage
of today's ball game did the Yuma
team have chance to win from Mex
icali, and the victory for the Imperial
Valley league champions was an easy
one. the score being II to 2.
The visiting pitcher put up only a
mediocre game, and this with poor
support gave Mexicali a walk away.
Three home runs and three three-bag-
gers were credited to MeXicali players
with a number of singles and several
doubles, but the visitors were unable
to hit Teran safely.

Skiddina Is Overcome.

Attention is called in a circular re-
port from Sydney, Australia, to a new
invention of front-drive vehicle
which entirely prevents skidding. A
test over 10000 miles of rough road
has been made, 1t is claimed, with no
signs of wear. The front wheels are
pivoted in the center which enables
the steering of the car with much
greater ease than in the rear-wheel-
driven machine. The device is now
attached to an old worn British car
which, prior to the attachment of the
device, weighed 80 cwt with a speed
of thirty-eight miles an hour travelling
fifteen miles on one gallon of gasoline.
After alteration and application of the
front drive device, the car weighs 80
cwt., has a speed of forty-five miles
an hour and will go seventeen and one
half miles on a single gallon of gaso-

BIRD THAT LOCKS ITS NEST
Central American Wren Takes Par
ticuIar Care That lis Eggs Shall
Not &c Harmed.

In Central America are. many
strange birds with stranger habits, but
probably none is more interesting than
a little brown wren which may be
seen along the roadsides or on fences.
This little bird, about the size of a
canary, builds a nest out of all pro-
portion to its apparent needs. He Sc
lects q small tree with horizontal
branches growing ciose together.
Across two of the branches he lays
sticks fastened together with tough
fiber. until platform about six feet
long by two feet wide is constructed.
On the end Of this platform nearest
the tree trunk he then builds a huge
dome-shaped nest a foot or so high,
with thick sides of interviewer thOras.
A covered passageway is then made
from the nest to the end of the plat
form in as crooked q manner as pos
sible. Across the outer end as well as
at short intervals along the inside of
this tunnel are placed cunning little
fences of thorns, with Just enough
space for the owners to pass through.
On going out this opening is closed
by the owner by placing thorns across
the gateway, and thus the safety of
eggs or young is assured.
