Lord Cranborne Tells Com.
mons of Refortifying-No
Right to Inspect.
Ey the Associated Press.

LONDON, July 13.-Lord Cranborne
undersecretary of state for foreign
affairs, told the House Of Commons
today he understood Heligoland was
being fortified by Germany.
Asked if the island was being forti-
fled by leave of the British govern
ment Lord Cranborne said, mo, 1t
is not being fortified by leave of any
one"
Lord Cranborne, acting in the place
of Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden,
made the announcement in answer to
a question from Oliver Locker-Lamp-
son Conservative member, whether
Germany's promise not to refortify
Heligoland had been kept.
Inquiries have been made" said
Lord Cranborn. II understand the
Island of Heligoland is being reforti-
fed"
He added that no right to inspect the
island exists.
Heligoland Is a ffth-of-a-square-
mile rock island of the German and
Danish coasts in the North Sea, a
strategic defense position to protect
Germany's Kiel Canal and the ports
Of Bremen and Hamburg.
Several naval battles were fought at
the island during the World War, but
the British never succeeded in cap
turing 1t. Under the Treaty of Ver-
sailles, the islands Notifications were
destroyed.

BY JOHN C, HENRY.

Actual union Affiliations already are
being recorded in the steel industry, 1t
was declared by John Brophy, director
of the Committee for Industrial Or
ganization, on his return here this
morning from Pittsburgh.
Brophy said that principal efforts
on the part of the c. I. o. thus far
have been to protect their own organi-
zation and to establish personal con-
facts with workers in the steel plants,
particularly those already sympathetic
to union affiliation. It Is from these
latter groups that the first of the new
members have been drawn, he said,
their afiliation being with the Anal
gamated Association Of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers, which Is c. l. o. union
Drive to Continue.
Declaring it inconceivable that the
Executive Council of the American
Federation of Labor would vote to
suspend the c. I. o. member unions,
Brophy said that the steel organizing
drive will go on in any event.
I'VE contend" he said, that the
council has neither the legal power to
suspend unions nor the mass support
Of the A. F. Of L. membership In any
such action" ---.s----------z-------
Fearful OF the consequences of
whatever decision they make, mem
hers OF the federation's Executive
Council went back into closed session
this morning to continue debate on the
question Of suspending II unions now
afiliated with the c. I. o.
Eight of the unions have been in
vited to send representatives to ex-
plain their c. I. o. afiliation, four
already have defaulted and similar
defiance was scheduled today from
two more. Tomorrow the last pair is
listed to appear and the council vote
on the issue Is expected in the after
noon.
None Of the alternatives open to
the Council guarantee an end to their
troubles. For instance, suspension of
the IL unions would cut the A. F.
Of L. membership by nearly one third,
with $4,000 monthly revenue from
1,200,0 900 members being stopped.
Secession Possibility.
Failure to suspend, however, might
bring even more drastic consequences
First Of these might be a move for
secession on the part of some Of those
most insistent upon suspension, among
them John P. Frey, who heads the
Metal Trades Department of nearly
100000 members. Second would be
the increased prestige of John L.
Lewis, chairman Of the Z. I. O., with
an accompanying decrease in pres
tige Of the craft-union leadership of
the federation.
Successful in his defiance and un-
punished. Lewis undoubtedly would
attract ne wfollowers to his indus
trial union program and to the c. 7.
o., and the eventual result probably
would be that this faction soon would
become the majority faction Of the
organization, an end which Lewis has
sought for some time.

killing his wife and infant son, and
boasted that he would take it "like an
Apache" met horrible death.
His body struck the side Of the
trap as the trigger was sprung. 1t
dangled there while the helpless VIC
tim groaned and kicked. Those di-
recting the execution talked once OF
dropping him again, but decided
against 1t.
Every minute for fully 20 minutes
the attending physician made an ey-
animation and shook his head.
The trap was Sprung at sos am.
(Mountain standard time). 1t was
5:3s when Gardner was pronounced
dead.
Rock Crusher GalIows.
The Governments improvised in
strument Of death was an old rock
crusher used in the construction Of
Coolidge Dam. The rope was swung
from a cross beam. A hole was cut in
the foo. for a trap.
The moose slipped as Gardner fell,
the knot moving around in front and
swapping his head backward and to
one side.
Meanwhile, armed men, sworn in by
Ben J. Mckinney, United States mar
shall, as deputies, patrolled the
Coolidge Dam and the road leading
into the deep gorge where the hanging
occurred. But not an Indian was
sighted.
The guards were withdrawn as
Gardner's body was removed to q
mortuary at Globe.
Mckinney had said 81 don't expect
any trouble, but there have been ru-
mors of an uprising"

the ella County Jail at Globe 26 miles
away, and brought to the execution
site under heavy guard, arriving here
shortly after midnight.
Five Hours in Auto.
For five hours he sat in an auto
mobile with guards equipped with q
submachine gun and supplied with
tear gas bombs, inside the protection
of the deep gorge.
He listened to Rev. F. M. Uplegger,
veteran missionary, read the Bible in
the Apache language. He chewed gum
nervously and smoked many cigarettes.
Occasionally he closed his eyes, placed
his feet on the back Of the front seat
and rested.
The death warrant was read as he
stood over the trap. The reading re-
quired several minutes. When 1t was
finished, Mckinney asked:
Have you anything to say, Earl?"
IT have no interpreter" Gardner re-
piled.
But you speak good English" Nc
Kinney said.
well, I'll be glad to get 1t over
with" Gardner then insisted.

NOME AND SEWARD PENINSULA'S
 GOLD PRODUCTION

It is learned on reliable authority that 571 O2 90 dollars in gold bullion have been shipped from Nome this through express. Last years figures which were obtained on the fifth of November fifteen days hence, slightly than $2,200,000 There are still another couple of weeks and possibly month for dredges at Nome to continue digging and they should swell the total for this year quite considerable amount
 It is not possible to learn how much gold was ship ped out through the United States Mails during the past season. but with this of shipping, and gold talk out by individuals, the gold production of Nome and Seward Peninsula should be more than $3000,0000 % for the 1886 season of operations.
 Greater activity, further development and the op- ening up of former low grade properties together with the installing of modern machinery and dredges has been responsible for the enjoyable increase in produc tion this year.
 With twenty odd dredges operatng sluicing hydrau- Icing drag lines scrapers and every known type of mining being pushed in the Seward Peninsula district it cannot be said that this section is low producer In reality it ranks second and for many years in placer production for the Territory all of which speaks well for Nome and vicinity.
 The mining operators themselves say they had un- usually favorable conditions this year to carry ing, and were highly pleased at their results. They have become enthusiastic in their work of develop ment that they say "You will greater activity, and more gold taken out again next season."
 Many of them hazard the guess that they will see another rise in the price of gold and then they say Watch out," see activity get into its stride.
 Already plans for installation of new dredges thru out the district being made and has been an- nounced. All of which comes directly back to Nome again-its population its business success it's spirit and activity will all reflect the steady growth and develop ment of our rich mineral areas
 Business of Nome, with few exceptions, see the hand writing the wal and keeping abreast with the mining interest and activity and are stocked with supplies to meet the demands for mining pr- poses. The merchant who is not awake to the new business being developed by mining is not only over- looking his trade but is cassed the "watchfu wait ng' sort of business man.
