PRICE FIVE CENS: SCHLEY LOYAL TO COOK STILL CALLS UPON PEARY TO SUBMIT DATA TO UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN ALSO. IECIAIES IT BUT FAIR Retired Admiral Thinks That, in Jus tioe to All, the Same. Body That Turned Down Physician's Claim to Have Reached the Pole Should Pass Upon Commander's Records. Washington, Dec. 22.-Reaffirming his complete confidence in Dr. Cook. Rear Admiral W. S. Schley, retired. today called upon Commander Peary to submit his proofs that he reached the north pole to gome scientific body other than the National Geographic society. This, the admiral declared. should be done at once in the interist of justice and to establish beyond question the claims of Peary. The admiral believes that the same body which threw out and repudiated Cook's data should be permitted to pass upon the data submitted by Peary to the geographic society. "The Danes are the best posted body of men in the world on Arctic matters," he said. "The consistory of the University of Copenhageq should be given the opportunity to examine the Peary proofs, for in that way they would Ibe submitted to the same test that was applied to those of Cook. The consistory which was regarded by the civillsed world as more than friendly to Dr. Cook, showed by this action in turning down the explorer that it holds the scales of justice, as it sees them, evenly and honestly." Fails to Act. Moreover. Admiral Schley believes that the submission of the proofs to Copenhagen should be insisted upon by Peary, whatever the attitude of the National Geographic society may be. It was suggested to the officer that the society some tima ago officially declared its Intention to let scientific bodies of reputable standing examine and test the Peary proofs when they had been passed upon by the society. "But the organisation has not done it." he retorted quickly. "So far there has been shown no disposition to carry out its avowed Intention, has there?" Admiral Schley declined to pay on what grounds he took exceptions to the findings of the scientists of the University of Copenhagen in regard to Cook's claims. He merely reaffirmed his belief in the explorer, adding that he believed also that Peary, too, had gained the top of the earth. Deine* to Talk. Members of the National Geographic society declined to discuss the sugges tion" of the retired naval officer. The society is still smarting under the somewhat curt reply made by. the University of Copenhagen to its re. Quest that a committee representing the society .be permitted to be pres ent when Dr. Cook's data was ex amined. While recognising the right of the Danish scientists to decline such a request, American savants feel that the Danes were needlessly brusque in their declinatidn. No Comment. New York. Dec. 2.--"I have no comment to make on Admiral Schlcy's statement." This was the brief written ea.to ment sent out by Connander Peary tonight from the banquet hall at the Waldorf-Astoria. where he was a guest of the New England society. Commander Peary strongly Intimat ed tonight in a .speech at the banquet of the New England society that the sxpedition which he led successfully to the north pole might also try for the south pole. However, he did not rommlt himself definitely as to his own share in such an ex.'edltion. The South Pole. 'The stars and stripes have been' planted at the north pole," said Peary. 'It would seem a fitting sequel to that work if the organisation, the per monnel, the material, the equipment. the methods so perfected, might be di rected toward the south pole with the posalblitty that the stars and stripes night wave at both ends of the earth's Lxie." Commander Peary's reference to the 'personnel" was taken bg many to mean that he might lead such an ex -edition into the Antarctic as he pro _osed, and' wild applause greeted it. But those familiar with Peary's re eated deolarations that 'he is done with polar explorations forever, be loved that he meant to exclude him melt. Asked unequivocally if he iAi naded to lead such an expedition 5ary said: "I am prepared to assist in the or tanisation of such an expedition to at out from the United States in an endeavor to reach the south pole." This reply evidently carefully word 4 still leaves open the main question! ,t issue. A Dead One Now. Christiania. Dec. Z:.-Fridtjof Nan e-, the Norwelglan Arctic explorer, oday broke hia long silence and alked of the Peary-Cook controversy. "It is my opinton," he said.

SENAOR M'LAUR I ANSWERS LAST CALL iSTATESMAN DIES OF HEART TROUBLE WHILE SEATED IN LIBRARY OF HOME. Jackson, Miss.. Dec. 22.-United States Senator A. J. McLaurin died suddenly tonight at his home in Bran don. Death was due to an attack of heart trpuble and came without the slightest warning at 6:30 o'clock. When the fatal stroke came Senator Mc Laurin was seated in a rocking chair in front of the fire in his library. He suddenly fell forward. without speaking a word, and wai dead when members of his family reached him. The swift summons of death followed but a few moments a remark by Sen ator McLaurin that he was feeling better than he had at any time since his recent illness, resulting from an attack of ptomaine poisoning. No announcement as to funeral ar rangements had been made late to night. As to a suceýssor for Mr. McLaurin, it is pointed out that an appointment might be .immediately made by Gov ernor Noel or that the new senator might be selected by the state legis lature In January. Former Governor James K..Varda man and Senator-Elect Williams are mentioned in connection with the se lection of a successor to complete the unexpired term of the late Senator McLaurin. Several months ago' Mr. Vardaman announced his candidacy for the subsequent term. Governor Noel would not say tonight whether he would make an appointment or refer the appointment to the legisla ture which will convene next month. Faithful to South. Washington, Dec. 22.-S-enator Mc Laurin, who was 61 years old, began his first term In the United States senate in 1894. but was elected gov ernor of Mississippi in 1896 and served in that office four years. He was elected again to the senate in 1900 and served one term. He then re turned for the term which began on March 4. 1907. His present term of office would have expired on March 3, 1913. Senator McLaurin was a lawyer and began the study of law in 1868 after he had served through the civ;: war as a private in the confederate army. He entered the col dderate army when he was 16 years old. Seven children survive him. When the present session of con gress opened, Senator MeLaurin did not come to Washington because of Illness. In the senate chamber he was known as one of the strongest dc fenders of the south, though not as radical as some. He believed in the south; her resources and her future, and he never failed to raise to her defense when she was assailed.

ONLY TO SAYE COUNTRY Declares That He Stepped Out to Avoid Having Republic Suffer Hu miliation of Outrages Threatened by a Powerful Foreign Nation-Says Execution of Americans Was Lawful. Managua. Drc. 22.-Ex-President Zelaya today iscsued a manifesto de claring that his surrender of the presi dency war caused by a desire to save Nicaragua the humiliation of outrages threatened by a powerful nation. which was now inaugurating a de cisive Influence. over the destiny of Nicaragua. He declared that because of his re sistance to the imposition of tutelage, which was the forerunner of the con version of the Latin nations of this continent into dependencies of the' United States. he had Incurred the hatred of that government and when the defeat of the revolutionists ap-I peared certain, the United States gov ernment inexplicably severed relations with Nicaragua through Secretary Knox's letter to the charge d'affaires. He protested before the world against the meddling of the United States and the threat to land marines. Various Clauses. Zelaya in his manifesto takes up: various clauses of the Knox letter in an attempt to refute certain charges with copies of letters he had received; from John Gardner Coolidge. former American minister at Managua, thank ing him for his eourteour treatment in the matter of the claims of Guate ala and Salvador. The former president declares that the Americans, Cannon and Oroce, were executed according to law. This! pretext for Intervention, he asertts.i is similar to that employed when the United States first Intervened in I Cuba. for there was no proof that the Maine was blown up by the Span iards: yet this was taken as a cause for action. Nor is there any proof that Cannon and Groce were put to death unlawfully. There are persistent rumors here that a force of Hondurans now ref ugees in Guatemala are preparing for a revolution and propose to invade Honduras at Octopeque. Wins Victory. General Estrada.

IILE li l !LITTLE TIM" DiES i IN NEW Y WELL-KNOWN POLITICIAN 8UC CUMB8 AFTER LONG FIGHT AGAINST DISEASE. New York. Dec. 2..-Timothy p. Bullivan, the "Little Tim" of the Bowery and a power in metropolitan politics, died tonight. He had been in bad health for more than six months. Death resulted from Bright's disease and inflammation of the heart. Just when "Little Tim" was born. history does not record, but he died in early middle life, worn out. say his friends, by overwork. At the time of his death he was chairman of the finance committee of the board of al dermen. Always active in polities, he had, at one time or another, been a member of the state legislature and acting mayor of the city. "Big Tim," Timothy D. Sullivan. state senftor, is now the only one of the famous Suliivans left. "Little Tim" when he first started to work. a .mere boy. "ran copy" for the news papermen from the Tombs police court to their offices. Later he went into partnership with "Big Tim" In a sa loon. Both had the genius for politics and also shrewd business heads. Both made money and yet kept their fol lowing of less prosperous days. In timates say that "Little Tim" was the branas of the clan Sullivan, and that he financed many of the successful ventures of this better known cousin. "Little Tim's" funeral will be held Friday morning, and the pall bearers will Include politicians great and small. "Little Tim" never drank intoxicants or smoked. His refraining from liq uor. he explained tersely with the dec laration that "a bouser can never suc ceed." At a dinner last year in his honor. for which his admirers subscribed $100 a plate, he refused to break his rule of temperance. In the board of aldermen represent ing Tammany power, Mr. Sullivan commanded respect and everybody listened when he took the floor. Not long ago. "Little Tim" returned from Hot Springs, Va.. where he went with the hope of regaining his health. But. tlthough he had picked up somet strength. his condition remained seri ous and for several weeks his death has been almost daily expected. To his widow willt go a considerable for tune. Like the other Sullivaa. "Lit tle Tim" was counted a rich man. He had extensive contracting interests and was interested in a multitude of enterprises. UNABLE TO AGREE. Chicago, Dee. 2~.--I.

MURDERER IS CAPTUIED Official Is Enticed to Modest Apart ment in Remote Viborg District, Where He Is Killed, Supposedly, by His Host, Michael Vosekressensky-' Crime Creates Great Sensation. St. Petersburg. De. -Colonel .Karpoff. chief of the secret police of ft. Petersburg. was assassinated to day. He had been enticed to a modlest apartment in a remote street of the Viborg district and there was blown to pieces by a bomb. exploded sup posedly by his host. one Michael Vosskressensky. who had leased the rooms: a few days before. The murderer rusned into the street following the explosion and was cap tured. An asslstant of Karpff's who had accompanied him was sever. ly in Jured. Karpoff was appointed from Baku. where he had been chief of the secret ixilice. There have been several con victions of bomb makers recently. The asnaslnation of Colonel Karpoff has caused the greatest sensation here This mystery is still unexplained but the popularly credited theory is that Karpoff was engaged in the manufac ture of falTe evidence and that. while Vosakressensky was in the policee chief's pay. he was simultaneously plotting in bcehali of the revolutionary faction. It appears that after Karpoff en tered the room Vosagressensky went outside on the pretext of examining the electric bell. which failed to act. It Is supposed that he then connected the wires that exploded the bomb. The matter came up in the duma tonight. M. Mllukoff. leader of the, constitutional democratsc and M.

MYSTERIOUS AIRSHIP IS SEEN VEHICLE OF THE AIR CIRCLES FOUR TIMES OVER WOR CESTER, MASS. Worcester, Mass.. Dec. 3.--Plying at a speed of from 3u to 40 miles an hour, a mysterious airship tonight appeared over Worcester, hovered over the city for a few minutes. disappeared for for about two hours and then re turned to cut four circles above the city. using a searchlight of tremend ous power. Thousands of persons thronged the streets to watch the mys terious visitor. The airship remained over the city for 15 minutes. all the time at a height which most observers set at about ,000 feet, too far to enable even its precise shape to be been. The glaring rays of its great searchlight. however, were sharply defined. The dark mass of the ship could be dimly seen. At the time of the airslip's visit. Wallace E. Tillinghast. a Worcester man who recently claimed to have invented a marvelous aeroplane in which he said he had Journeyed to New York and return by way of Bos ton, was absent from his home and could not be found.

Cooming up from the southeast the sky voyager veered to the west, re malned in sight a few minutes and then disappearesd to the northwest. In five minutes the se-archlight was again seen, glowing in the. 'darkness like a monster star. and the ship canme up, hovered over the city a short time and disapeared to the southeast. Two hours later an eager shout from the waiting crowds announced its return. Slowly, it light sweeping the heavens, it circled four times above the eity and then disappeared. finally heading first to. the south ntnd then to the etast. APPROVE THE INCREASE. New York. DeL.

Cohan's engagement Ut the Harnols theater December 29 bids fair to form a red letter event i'N amusement circles. Mr. Ctohan's repu tation as a performer, to say nothizng of his aptitude In composing and plo ducing popular plays with musical trimmings, has won for him a place in the theatrical firmament second to no one who has essayed to succeed In this particular branch of musical and dramatic art. That George M. Cohan's engagement here is to prove a phenomenal one. in so far as attendance is concerned. is already admitted and it will not be surprising if "The Yankee Prince" will test the capacity of the theater. The music in "The Yankee Prince" is said to be one of its most fascinating features. No less than 18 song nunm bers punctuate the three acts of, the play, exclusive of the choruses and cln sembles, and like all ('ohan produc tions, the hundred and odd play.+rs who are with him have their ,ork cut out for then In the w.ay of dancing and stage business, so that the piece forms one c">ntinuouts i1k ture of daptivating features thaIt are said to be very fetching. The Family. The Fiamily theater is r.eivtlmug liberal patronage *this wi.*ek. Ther" han not been seen a .laiy s, full .s! :ocal interest as "Work nal Waxes-s" for many moons. Saturday matinee all are invited to come upon the stage immediately after the fall of the cur tain to meet Miss Winston and the members of the company. Next week an elaborate production of "Camille." one of the most beautiful pathetih dramas ever written, will be the offer ing of the Winston company. The Grand. An all-feature bill Is to be intro-' duced at the trand theater thlis evening, when it makes its usual nild die-of-the-week change of program. Each number of the bill is reported aa a winner of its sort and the motion! pictures and the illustrated song will; be well up to the Grand standard. The Tyrell Duo of singers and dancers. comprised of juveniles. give an act of unusual merit; La Petite Ituth. as good in appearance as her name would. imply, also has a song and dance act which has the reputation of being good; Charles LEora will present the usually popular acrobatic and gym nastic number. Leora is said to be better than the average and executes somle very difficult and interesting feats. The Isis. At the lais theater last evening tihe pictures displayed were all of high-, class and the illustrated song as sung by A. J. Yoest. was a winner. "'The Redman's View" tells the story of the persecution of the redman in the early settler days. It deals chiefly, with the trials of a young brave and his still younger squaw. While they are subjected to many harrowing ex periences, all ends in happiness. The picture might be considered a decided departure from the usual romance having the same theme. a fact which increases the interest of the tale. "Exploits of a Cowboy." "Willyboy Gets His." "What the Cards Foretold" and "My' Lord in Livery." the titles Indexing the character of the pictures,' comprise the remainder of the bill. The Sijou. "A Corner in Wheat." a story which deals with scenes inl the great stock exchange of New York City, is the title of the picture which figured' as the headliner of the interesting program presented last evening at the; Bijou theater. The tale centers itself' around the man who has successfully cornered the wheat market. The irony of fate asserts itself later when the same individual is suffocated in the bin of a large wheat elevator. "The Indian." a story dealing with life in an Irdian tribe in the days at savagry. nther pictures and a song completes the program NO KIDNEY MISERYI OR LAME BACK DISTRESS FROM KIDNEY DIS ORDERS OR WEAK BLADDER WILL VANISH. No man or woman here whose kid neys are out-of-order, or who suffers from backache or bladder misery, can afford to leave Pape's Diuretic untried. After taking several doses, all pains in the back, sides or loins, rheumatic twinges, nervousness, headache, sleep lessness, inflamed or swollen eyd)ds. diaalsiness, tired or worn-out feeling and other symptoms of clogged. sluggish kidneys simply vanish.

WiADIY IS NEEED NOW FEWER CHILDREN AND BETTEt ONES 18 WHAT 18 WANTED, WOMAN DECLARES. Spokane. LDe. 22.--"There are al ready too many children in the world What we want now is quality and nol quantity. Parents should be taught the responsibility of bringing children into the world, and then when they have been taught that nine-tenths of the babies born every year are noth ing more nor less than human culls. I believe the birth rate will de.crease and we shall have a better and stronger race." This from Mrs. Helen L iit'ine Rtaker, the richest woman in SI'.kane, also suffragist, reformer, philanthro pist. humanitarian and apostle of brotherly love, known throughout the northwest as "The Little Mother of Unfortunate Children." Mrs Baker is anything but conven tlonal. She is young and attractive. is highly educated and widely trav eled and has plenty of money to grat Imy every whim. She looks upon Thomas Paine as her patron saint, and believes Bernard Shaw. Elbert Hub bard, Moses Harmon nud Luther Bur bank as the four greatest men in th.i wo.'rld. "Eugenics is the technical toem for the work I am engaged in." she said. "It relates to tile propagation of mlan kind, and I tmean to devote all my tlime to teaching chfildren the right way of living. You cannot mold char acter aftier the child is.:'O years. "My studies of children all over tilhe world have convinced me that not mnore than 10 per cent of themn are children of love. The other 90 per cent are not wanted, and this leads me to believe that 10 years hence to be the father of a family of 10 or 12 children will be as much of a disgrace as being a confirmed drunkard is at the present time. Within the next decade we shall be able to teach these things to children and the result will be a new race of men and women." NOT INSANE, SHE SAYS. New York.

The hul$-decked trees and the wreaths of greens that peep fro;t a *'t, window: the caravans of wagons that are delering their great loads from dmor to door: the atore tit their holiday garb and the nmrkqlts with their brave display of Christmas cheer-all these contribute to the visible nmanifestita tion of the rush and whirl of the last hours of preparation for what has be come the greatet American hobuliday. Nor is the Chri*stnas cherl to be con fined to those hunlaes whecre prosperity lives: there has been this year in Mis soula a dLetlerinetld land sy.tematic en deavor to search out those homet where misfortune has. lessened the prospecta for a sIlerry ChristmaL and good cheer has teenl horne by friendly hands into these places. There should be no spot in Missoula this year where ionta Claus does not reach. TIED FOR FIRST.

Fully one-tenth of the tre.spasrers are children. In England effectiv- precautions are taken to keep people out of danger. The total death roll reported by the ruilroads In 1907 was 11.839. of which number only $1.* were passengers. 4.534 were railroad employes. 5.412 were tl-.tpassers. 1.014 were not tresspasser,. and this takes no account of the children, who add 10 per cent to the total. The interstate cotllln.rce comlmission has attempted to claselfy train accidents. first by grouping the railroads of the country in 1.t groups and also classifying the victlin*. and so fast as possible the cause of accident. but figures have been knun n to be very inaccurate. The number of enployes killed and in jure.d was w uubJlvidu) in official re ports to show the ntumber of trainmnen killed or injured,. but the totals have shown such wide discrepancles between them and the total of known victims that no rellunce has b.en placed upon the figures.

DECEMBER HOLIDAYS. ..ecemnber e.nds thit- rthodux hull day Inulth' for the milltions of Jens all ovmr the world. au well us for the cthristians. Irur the Jews have nearly half a month of holidays during *Dc c~renber. because their annual' teast of (Chanunkuh or "The' -Kindling of .ights.'" which frequently comes at the same time as the Christmas holidays. this year is much earlier than usual. Clhanunkah has been observed by the Jews for 3.7O years, the feast dating back to 163 Ui. t:. to the time when Judas Maccabeus defeated Antiochus ypiplatnus. the king of Syria. The feast Itself continues for eight days. that being the length of time which elapsed between the departurd of ,Judas fruan Jerunalem to give battle to .Antioehus, and his triumphant return. At that time the Jews were subject to the Syrian king, but when Antiochus attempted to furce them to worship the Syrian gods. the Jews refused and re belled. under the leadership of Matta thias. Mattathias was slain in battle and his son. Judas Maecabous. suc ceeded himn as the leader of the army. The brave Judlas. prior to lhaving Jeru salesm to make one last stand against jthe army of Antiochus. kindled in the temple in Jerusalem a light which uLually lasted frum two to three days. When hel returned victorious the light had miraculously continued to burn during the whole time of lai absence. This is the origin of C!hanunkah, or the Ieast of "The Kindling of TAghts." and wlhich commemorates one of the must glorious, though briefest, epochs in the history of the Jews us an independent nation. Chanunkah this year beIgn on tihe r3th day of Kialey (Dlecelmber atll lasted until LDecelmber 14.

Coal mining can be made a permanent and profitable In dustry in Alaska and the establish ment of camps will aid materially In the development of its resources. Min Ing of cmoa on Reward Peninsula wotuld mean much to the people ilving in that section, as the cost of fuel un der present conditions is very high and the ernsumntion per capita is very great. The mineral Is w'dely din trihrted throughout Alaska and is found to he of very high grade in the Matanuska and Bering river val leva. Workable deposits are also to hbe found on Peward Peninsula. No titles hnvinr been secured to any .en, lands in Alaska development of the depsits has not been made.

'"The future development of Alaska will depend very. lwrgely upon all-the vesr-'round easy communication be tween the coast and the Interior. Th's nnturn'ly depends upon transportation facilties. There seems to be ample husiness reasons to warrant the con trulltion of railrnads from the coast to the Bering river and Mlatanuska coal fields., and to the, cnpner mines in the Alaskan rany. of mountains. neyond these points there is no pres ent husiness to warrant capital, un aidel. to e,,nstrullt railroanls.

"Gold mining Is being successfully carried on throughout the whole district." says Governor Hoggatt. "The development of recent discoveries of veins carrying h!gh grade are have been very encouraging and there rseems to be a revival of interest in gold quartz mining throughout south eastern Alaska. Discoveries of tluarts carrying high values, have been made in the lairhanks mining d:stricts: and a limited amount of development work has been done with encouragingi re silts. Iligh grade gold orre have been dlioverMd on the Kennli pninsula near Wi\llow creek, and the hest of these pra.spcts are .being developed. Placer mining continues in a small way in southeastern Alaska and the bench at Cape Taktag and In Rook In let. This character of mining contin e-.- throughout the Yukon valley. and activities In the Fairbanks district ceentinue unahated. Increased interest Is shown in the prospecting in the Susitna and Kuskowim valleys and encouraging reports are made of these districts. A large number of pron pectors and miners fire in tlheek dis triets, and it is hoped that develop me'nts in the n"ew territory will he sufflciently rapid to maintain the pro duction of gold for several years. On the Reward peninsu's drift mining Is giving way to d.et.ging and hydraullc mining." Wants a Law. Governor Ftoggatt recommends a law to diminish the controversiae over the ownership of placer claims or to diminish the evils which have grown up under the practice of staking un limited numbers of claims by individ uals or through power of attorney, and providing that eight times the amount of work to he performed upon a single claim to continue ownership for one year should he performed on each as snclation cairnm during the year. itegarding the recommendation he makes to change tl. governor of Alaska from the control of the de partment of the interior to the depart ment of Justice. Governor Inoggatt says: "T1he provisions of the act for a civil government for Alaska pro vides that the .overnor shall have nu thority to see that the laws of the district are enforced and to require the falthful discharge ao their duties by offilcals appointed t4'administer the same. The officials acarged with the administration of laws are under the control of the department of justice, and 'it would ap pear that If one of the princlpal duties of the governor is to see that the officials perform their duties, he should also be an, ~ial of 'the de partment of jusdity h, vt, therefore. to recommend that lstislation to this end be enacted. aheh a change In the law will prevent confl;ct of authority. tend to the establishment of a uni form policy for the enforcement ofat Inw. and lead to a better administra tion of the affairs of the territory." A general law providing for the sahle of townsites, utnder tha supervision of the secretary of the interior. w!th proper reservation of harbor areas and lands for public purposes. (Govern or lIoggatt says should he passedt. "WVitlhout such a law." he points onut. "congress anti the interion depart ment will be called upon to support private hills for the pur.chase of town sites. every one of which will ilhave a lobhhy In Washington attempting to se,'ure Its passare." SCHIEY LOYAL TO COOK (Continued From Page One.) vanish from the consideration of the world. I never trusted him, for the first report he made did not inspire confidence. ..neciatly his st'tt(ments concerning the distance of II seconds from the pole. This proved that Cook was ignorant of the simplest principles of astronomical obser':ations. Even his later reports contained nothing of value. On the contrary, they were filted with improbahilities and con tradictions. "From the first I was unable to support Dr. Cook. I therefore pre ferred to keep silent. As for Peary. I never doubted his veracity, although I did not approve of his behavior after his return. hliwever, it is easy to understand his indignation. At least he is a man and there is no comparison between him and Cook." May Keep Honwrs. Copenhagen. De.

Garden City o. Ge ]orge Frelshelmer. pro ]>j sa ERIOMAN ACT USEFUL IN STRIKE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT OF TELEGRAPHERS MARKS STRIDE FORWARD. Chicago, Dec. 22.-The arbitration of ,differences between telegraphers and the Illinois Central has revealed 'peace on earth, good will toward men" on :Uncle Sam's Christmas tree in a 'ery substantial advancement toward the: abolishment of strikes by procedur. under the Frdman act. The Order of Railroad Telegraphers was among th" labor organizations which secured the, enactment of the law in 19R,. and, not withatanding a vote of ,rerr.bers to strike. promptly and unhesitatingly a.., quiesced in the proposal of the railway, to submit the dispute to arbitration. in the way that they and other rail-i road brotherhwods proposed Ig the pr-; aentation of the hill nearly 12 ymars ago. "A stike is barbaric because the out come depends upon which side is the stronger,"' the telegraphers' committee' saysa a sentiment that promises mue'h to the public in the future in amicable settlements of differences. There is nothing under the Erdrr.an law which requires any employe to work at uh-. satisfactory wages, nothing compulsory either upon the railway, but It affords a judicial hearing and decision of th,.. merits of a dispute. The chairman of, the Interstate commerce commission and the United States commissioner of labor have been called In as medl ators as the act provides. If media tion fails, these officials, with a third if necessary, will act as arbitrators and if the railraod and the employes submit the case to an arbitration board with prescribed stlpulations in wiit ing, then the findings may be entered as a judgorent in the federal circuit in which the dispute arose. But the discharge of men by a rail road if dissatisfied with the result or the striking by employes Is specifically forbidden. There seems to be no pros pect of compulsory arbitration of labor disputes and the telegraphers' action indicates that none Is likely to be need ed notwithstanding the refusal of the Switchmen's Union of North America to abide by mediation, which they have; explained on the ground that they "would surrender the right to strike." Mayor D. W. Lawlor, as attorney for the switchmen's union, has contended that delays of final award might be from one to two years and that the act provides, to prevent demoralisation of traffic. "that pending the arbitra ilon the status immediately prior to the dispute shall not be changed." cads of other brotherhoods take the view that If the final award was favor able to the men the tncreege of pay would be due In addition to all they had received in the meantli. "We can't lose and we will save the ipeue 6!' asatrlke," they sty, ~oht hdloitlglh theory advanced by Mayor Lawlor that the men would be in the power of the; railroads. Aotion Hastened. The arbitration of the telegraphers' grievances was hastened by the Im mediate effects upon the switchmen's union in the Twin Cities of refusing to abide by the mediation agreement en tored into iy Preslient Hawley and the railway managers' committee. This re fusal seems to have been taken by the public as wanton disregard of its rights and the switchmen's cause was imme diately weakened in consequence. The public seems to have reached the limit of patience with the union or employer which adopts the strike tactics which Mayor Lawlor has defended. When the Erdman act ca.re up in congress one May day in '8, all oppo sition was quickly melted when Repre, sentative Grosvenor of Ohio an nounced: "This is one of the labor bills. All of the labor organisations throughout the United States are in favor of its passage, and their commit tees are now here waiting for the pas sage of the bill. And the rights of labor organisations are not only ob served by the bill, but it meets their approval and they urge prompt action upon it. I hold in my hand a state ment signed by the leading orders, and it Is approved by the Railway Conduc tors, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, by the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers. by the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and by the Or der of Railway Telegraphers." The assertions as to the origin and support of the bill were equally as posltive and unchallenged in the sen ate. Senator Ppooner of Wiaconsin said: "The men who have been pro moting the passage of this bill are the repre.entatives of the old-time rail way organisations. Mr. Arthur. Mr. I'lark. Mr. Morrissey and others, all men of ability." The amerndmnents offered by the sen ate to the house provided that "no employe shall be compelled to render personal service without his consent:" that employes not members of labor organisations might take advantage of the arbitration law; that no injunction or other legal processes should issue to enforce the judgment of the arbitra tion court Law Not Used. tile .'t the strange things in the his tory ,of this law is that in spite of the earnest and determined efforts to secure its '.nactment, it was not ap prealed to for nearly 10 years. And then it was not imade use of by either of the sides directly interested, but by an outsider. That was when President Roosevelt dlrected hiasecretary to com merce and labor to offer his services as a mediator to settle the differences between the Southern railroads and their employes. The only other time the law has been invoked was in Chicago last spring when there was a threatened traction strike. The commnissioner of commerce and labor offered his services as a me diator in this difficulty and it was largely through his efforts that a dis astrous strike was Irevented. But he had no authority under the Erdman act or any other law to interfere. as the Chicago traction companies are not common carriers doing business in two or more states. NOTICE.

KNG BS CHIMPE IN EWING FORMER UNITED STATES MINIS. TER TO BELGIUM TELLS OF LEOPOLD'S LIFE. James S. Ewing of luumington. Illinruis. was United States ambessa uor to Blelgiurn under the second ad ministration of President Cleveland. For years be has been a student of the character of King L.eopold and. in view of his unusual opportunity for obervatiun at close range, his opinion is of interest. It is probably a fact that nline per sons out of ten in the United States think of Leopold uas a man of dissolute habits. a king who thinks nothing of the welfnre of his subjects, and as regards IlIs operations in the Congo F-ree State, a tyrant of the most al solute type. Wlth this estimate Mr. Ewing takes most decided Issue: in fact. be voices tile conviction that the Bylgian king is the ablest :monarchl upon itny European throne. His Personality. \\.hul* adlmitting that thlere. ha. betn mtuch to criticise in the dontestic af fairs of the king. N1r. Ewing sa.. that nine-tenths of what has teen writtcn is untrue and the rlemaindhr Ias In the majority of cases been grossly ex uggerated. There is one instaunce in particular that the former Minister .nll) vouch for. At one time the inews papers of the world took up the cry that the king was swindling his sister. the Princess Charlotta. out of her -property. The princess was subject to fits of insanity and when itn that condition loudly berated tihe king. Leopold paid no attention to her ti rades, horwever. built her an elegant chateau near Brussels. where she livedd and was attended daily by some menttber of the court. In one of her fits of Jsiunity she set fire to her palace and it xwas burned. Leopold immediately building another :or her. at the same time conserving and pro tectinr her rounerty. Home Life Unhappy. Another fact that ts scarcely cun sfdered by the average person when forming an estimate of Leopold is that his home life has always been an unhappy one. lis only son, who was greatly cherished by the fat;ler. died at the age of 12 years. anG the other children of the king have given him no end of trouble. That Leopold him stlf has been guilty of mllany indls cretions no one will deity. but the vast lmajority of the charges brought Ltgnllnit hint have been entirely with out fuuldatlon. Remarkable Attainments. Mr. Ewing characterises the king of the eilhrians us kind-hearted. peuit' and affable in a high degree. deumo-' crtlic. it remarkable linguist, a lover uf the arts and sciences and a states man of the highest order. His knhero edge and control of various ;langu.ages Is truly wonderful. On one oc.ctaiot Mr. E.wving heard him address t'wae representatites of different nations i:l its many different languages in thi course of not to exceed three min utes. lie is a master of the English language anld speaks it without the usual foreign accent. Popular in Belgium. Leopold i popular with his subjecte. the prinmciul opposition to himl in li.l own country. coning from a faction of the liberal party composed of social ists, anarchists and other maltcontents who are opposed to the mnnarchial forim of government wherever found., The king has always been solicitous for the welfore of his subjects, has made Urussels tnext to Ptri's in beauty and has helped to make hls little' country the garden spot of the old *orld. Dciglum is no more than half, as large as Illinois and is densely populated. the average being 80u In-i habitants to the square mlle. The' average size of a farm in Belglum ins :tI acres, yet tile people are known as the most industrioud and thrifty In! the world. There it Is an unusual; thing for a matn to be out of work. The wlnt.-r before Mr. Ewing returned1 to the United States tile number of imen out of work did nut average 37. while on reaching Chicago he found literally hbundreds of thousands of workmen out f emlploymenlt. li was deeply impressed with the thrift and industry of the Belgian people and is of the opinion that this country can learn much in this reapct front the little nation across the sea. The king's regard for his peop!e was\u undoubtedly the primary cause of hmis enmbar..ing ht the venture which brought about the existence of the Congo Frree State. Belgium h:s lon been largely overpopulated and the king thought he saw an outlet for emigration In central Africa. lie ex .austed every effort il trying to in duce his government to tnke up the project as a colonizing plan but N as unsuccessful, and finally took the whole burden upon himself. Investing his own large fortune and burrowing millions more in developing his i ea. He actually impoverished himself in his effort to do what he thought was best for his own people. He continu ally asked the Belgian government to take over the project years after it was begun. but he was still unsuc cessful. Then the returns from the Congo began pouring in in golden streams and the Belgian government begun to awake to the fact that it allowed a glorious opportunity to pass by. England. too. became jealous of tie work that Leopold had accom plished and immediately began a sys tematic campaign of abuse-. That Leopold has lived upeto his agreemenat nmade with the powvers there canl be no doubt. and there has never bt_'n anty real dispute on this point. Methods of England. .Never until the veMeturt Ibegan to bring in large returns did Englnnd worry hereif with alleged atrocities in the Congo 1F'r.e State." Then the world was flooded with reports of every kind of the most revolting char acter and Leopold was pictured as a heartless monster and a dilep-dyeld ty rant whose power should be broken at all hazards. So--alh d mniss onar les sent out fronm England sent back reports of countless atrocities cont mitted by the Belgians. nine-tenths of which were absolutely fatse and the rest grossly exaggerated. Illuminating Incident. As an instance of the false reports that were sent out. Mr. Ewing. while acting as minister. frequently re-' ceived large bundles of letters from the state department, which had b^en written by the misslonuries to the secretaries of the various inissiunary societies In this country and by them forwarded to the state department for attention. These letters were filled, with charges of cruelty by the Bel glans and most of the letters bore evi-, dences of untruth upon their face.; One in particular, after a serles .of charges against Leopold. stated that' the missionary party had gun-. upi a certain ,river and had converted ten entire tribes in ten days. A few months later Mr. Ewing was shown ,t letter from the same writer to the secretary of the Congo Pree State in Itrussels in which he stated that he had nothing but the highest praise ftir the proceedings of the Belgians In the Congo. but that he could not say as much for some of the other nations.I Mr. Ewing was mystified and asked' the reason for the change of heart. it developed that tie missionary had accepted a position at $2 a day in the service of the Belgians. Copies of the1 two letters were forwarded to the lstate department in Washington and the Aplerlcan minister received no more missives containing charges. against Leopold in the Congo district. A Trial. The plan pursued by thoue in the employ of Leopold to subjugate the interior of Africa has been to push gradually toward the interior while Ieepint a base of suppiles at points maused over in tihe onward march. A handful of Belgians are tius sur rounded at all thies by countless say-' ages. many of them cannibals. One of the Belgians. a young man of excel lent attalnments whom Mr. Ewlng came afterward to know well. caine upon a ntlisionary about 300 miles fron the coast selling firearms and uamnunition to the natives. which, of course, would be used against the .,l glans. The missionary was hanged to, the nearest tree and England Imn:e-: diately began to cry loudly for repar ation. The accused was tried h, a board at the coast tonu and w\. t. ae ouitted. whereupon England insisted that the board had been composed en tirely of Belgians. and insisted that the Inman should be tried at Brussels Ly an international board consisting of representatives of the powers. Mr. Ewing attended this high trial from beginning to end, and when the evi dence was In. even the commissioner from England was forced to admit that the man should go free. ITe wwas istvn his liberty and was married on the same day. Rule Has Seen Firm. That the rule in the Congo Free State has been firm there can be no doubt. but there can be as little ques tion that. considering the character of the natives. timeasures have been as lenient as is consistent with good dis cpline.

"HIGH LI" SWI EXPENSIE ATTORNEY FOR BAOKAW TELLS WHAT IT COSTS TO DEFEND DIVORCE ACTION. New York, Dec. 21.- "What it costs to defend a sezration suit In high life." is the title of a statement given out at Mineola, L. I., today by counsel for W. Gould Brokaw, whose wife is suing him for separation with alimony of 150.000 a year. The tabulated Items follow: Stenographers' minutes. 13,000; at tendance of witnesses, car fare and board. $4.060: plaintiff's counsel by order of court. 81.000; for preparation and investigation of case. $5.000; coun sel for defendant, $80,000. Total. 850.00e. "I will show." added John R. Mc Intyre. Brokaw's lawyer. "that Mr. Brokaw's income it not $30.000 a year.

MARKET MOVEMENI OF THE DAY New York, Dec. 22.-The extreme dullness into which stock market trad ing fell today was traceable to the restraining Influence of the tightnesa of the call money market. The pro fessional trading element assumes this as temporary and incident to the year-end requirements and to be suc ceeded, consequently by relaxation with the return of the new year. Call loan rates touched the highest figurd of the year and large amounts were placed at the higher rates. 'The largest of the Wall strtet banks was report ed to be out of the call loan mar ket. It is commonly assumed in stock market circles that the great specula tive campaign of the last year, while acquiesced in by all .the most power ful capitalistic groups has been most largely entered into by the group en- teting its Interests in Unitdd States Steel. A rise In money rates.at t*in time would be of more lirect beneftt to this group in such eircudgstei e than would an extension of the upward movements in the'prices of stooks. It is the convlctl4imt of stock market ob servers that much of the year's ac cumulation of stocks in pursuance of the speculative campaign remains un disturbed. There were occasional responses to day to favorable dividend develop ments.

"iuaula Drug Company WHM.LSALE AND RETAIL DRUGGISTa SLOOK PHONE 16 ,sRUN "What this city needs more than anything else right now." said Jake F'csel last night to a STUDY Missoulian man. "Is a MAPS school of instructio that will teach people the names of the streets on the east side. We had a fire early yesterday morning over our way; I was the first man at the phone and I told the fire department to come to the corner of Van Buren and Cherry. The depart ment responded with wonderful promptness; it was but a minute or two before we heard the teams gallop over the Cedar street bridge; they turned under the Van Buren street viaduct and then they got lost. stray woman found them and dlrect..: them to the fire, where they did splen did work. But it might happen erom time that there would be nobojy to point the way and there would be lots of time lost. People generally do not realise how fast we are growing on the east aide. Our streets are all north-and-south and east-and-west. there are no diagonals; everytth!ng is on the square with us and all that is necessary is for folks to get ac quainted with us." W~rlting in the Chicago Tribune. John at. Hartley in his "Little Stories of Big People." has this TO FIND paragraph that will be DIXON interesting to western Montana people: "Sen ator Joseph M. Dixon of Montana has made himself well known in the senate offices at Washington by banishing the air of inaccessibility which hangs around the corridor. Over on the house side tiny brass tablets on the doors state to whom the offices belong. but on the senatorial side there Is a long line of blank doors with hardly a name plate to break the monotony. Senator Dixon. how ever. has put up a card with vivid lettering on whfch is boldly inscribed. "Senator DIxon. Montana. Entrance. Walk in." As even the brass name plates on the representatives doors need a pair of glasses to decipher them this plan of Senator Dixon's has done much to make him popular." The markets and the igroery storey are, naturally, later than the other shops in their Christ. A BRAVE mas displays, but wher ARRAY they get squared away their shows are as at tractive and their contribution to the holiday cheer is as great as any. A full stocking is not much it there I. not a heavy table on Christmas day. These last few days of the Christmas shopping season are the special day of the market man and the grocer. In Missoula this year. the. showing Is particularly brave;jthere are magniti cent quarters of beef, ranged in soild phalanx: there are fat porkers, tempt. ingly displayed; there are sleek mut tons. decorated for the occasion: there are turkeys and geese and ducks and chickens-all specially prepared for the Chrlstmas dinner. In the groceries there are fruits and nuts and green vegetables in splendid variety, with cheesee and waters and raisins-it is all right, this part of our Chrlstmas show this year. Take a tour of the markets today and see what western Montana can do. In all Missoula there has tbeen. this Christmas season, no more industrious man than Rector WORTHY Lennie Smith of the DEEDS Church of the Holy 8pirit. Weeks ago. Mr. Lennie-Smith laid out his Christmas campaign and he has followed it out vigorously, with the result that there are more than O0 families who would have had no Christmas but for him, who will now be well fed and well clothbd, with something to remind the juvenile members that this i. the sea son of good cheer. In his church service last Sunday morning Mr. tnnle-Smith made an eloquent plea for the poor and the unfortunate. There were tears that morning in many eyes in his congregation; next morning he had a sealous force of workers and before noon there was a Billiard Parlors 1S EAST FRONT STREET WIL'LIAMS JOHNSTO PROPRIETORS Money to lsea imrosverd ny th ta 8 per cent Interest for three or five years with priv liege of repayment of whole or part in two sad a halt years.

And that's a pretty good way to keep Christmas. RAILWAY CONDUCTOR DIES SUDDENLY GEORGE DAVIS, OF PUGET SOUND ROAD, FOUND DEAD IN CA OOE AT ALIERTON.
