HONOR FOR MITCHELL

MINERS’ PRESIDENT IS LIONIZED AT INDIANAPOLIS. I ' Enthusiastically Received by Followers and the Public Opening; of a Great Convention—Report on Disposition of Strl'ke Relief Funds. John Mitchell, president of the United Mino Workers of America, was given two enthusiastic demonstrations in Indianapolis Monday, the first taking place in the convention hall in the morning, when every delegate rose to his feet as the president entered and cheerd till he had passed the full length of the hall and ascended the stage. Then the delegates gathered around him and many shook his hand and voiced expressions of confidence and esteem. The second ovation came in the evening, when 3,000 members of organized labor formed in line on Washington street ami marched to Tomlinson Hall, where n formal reception was extended to the miners’ president. Leads Big Parade. Mr. Mitchell rode in a.carriage with three local labor leaders, and immediately behind him came the musicians of the city ami visiting bands, which had formed one mammoth band of 125 pieces. Next came the marching column, which consisted of the delegates to the miners’ convention, visiting organizations from the gas belt towns and local organiza-

PRESIDENT JOHN MITCHELL.

tions. which represented all classes of union labor. Throngs were on the street Nine hundred delegates Were present the next morning when President John Mitehell read his annual report to the convention. Mr. Mitchell favored asking an increase of wages for the miners and announced his faith in the President's strike commission to settle the issues before it in an impartial manner. Of the many important events affecting the welfare of the toilers of the country, he said the anthracite coal strike stood preeminent. Vital principles were at Stake and defeat would have given to the American labor movement a shock from which it would have required years to recover. Mr. Mitchell submitted nn opinion by Attorney Clarence S. Darrow of Chicago on the proposal to incorporate unions. Extracts from the opinion follow: “The demand for the incorporation of trade unions is the last trench of those who oppose organized labor. It is impudent and presumptuous. No friend of trade unionism ever believed in it or advocated it or called for it. It is demanded by those interests and those enemies who have used every means at their command to oppose trade unionism, to counteract its influence and to destroy it. “How*the labor organizations shall manage their own affairs is not the business of the corporations or the employ ers. This new demand for the incorporation of labor unions is not only unjust and unreasonable, but it is impudent and insulting to the last degree,” Scores Government by Injunction. Referring to injunctions, Mr. Mitchell ■aid: "Government by injunction is one of the most insidious, harassing and dangerous methods resorted to by the enemies o fthe workingmen to destroy labor and to circumvent the constitutional right of trial by jury. The whole system of government by injunction grows from the distrust of the ultra-capitalists for democratic .institutions. "The reasons given for the issuing of Injunctions are always misleading and generally false. So far as these injunctions are issued in labor cases they are never issued excepting in such cases us call for the exercise of the criminal law. "Government by injunction is not only hostile to organized labor, but it is hostile to constitutional liberty. If the American people do not check this arbitrary power it will result in the annihilation of labor unions ami then of all other forms of associations disliked by capitalists.’’

At the conclusion of Mr. Mitchell's report he wns invited to address the Indiana Legislature. Mr. Mitchell accepted the invitation. Wilson Reports on Strike Fund. Secretary-Treasurer Wilson made his annual report and in it dealt with the anthracite strike relief funds. He showed whence enme the donations and then gave figures on totals. "The total amount domjted by the different branches of our organization was $258,343.94." snid Mr. Wilson. “The total amount received from the special anthracite assessment was $1,967,020.34, making a total of $2,225,370.28 from the members of the United Mine Workers to assist their brethren in the anthracite coal fields. To this amount must be added $419,054.14, donated by the trade unions and the public, making a grand total of $2,645,324.52." Harry Remtaff, a young man about 19 years of age. was accidentally killed at Holdenville. I. T., while riding in company with three other boys. Their horses became entangled in a wire fence nnd Remtaff was dragged quite a distance, sustaining injuries which proved fatal within an hour. Charles Kolb, who uns with him, was also seriously injured. John McGann, Bangor, Me., says he cured his rheumatism by sleeping under nn American flag. He drenined that the flog was a sure remedy, and triej It, with success. <

MANY BANKS ROBBED.

Illinois and Nebraska Head the List with Seven Burglaries. Fifty-six bank robberies in the United States in less than four months is the record which is worrying the country bankers. Illinois and Nebraska head the list with seven robberies each, Indiana has flee, Missouri and Texas four each. New York, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Tennessee have three each as their share. lowa, Kansas, Minnesota and South Carolina each have two. The singles are Kentucky, Montana, New Mexico and Utah. t In the bank burgling industry there Bre, so to speak, captains, lieutenants and privates. There is the “plant hunter,” who goes about as a beggar or peddler and finds out where there are safes to bo robbed. He seldom takes part In the actual robbery. Then there are the men, usually two in each gang, who understand, the use of explosives and perforin the real operation of blowing the nafe. And finally there are the “stick up” men, the men who stand outside and shoot at you if you venture on the street or pop your head out of a window. There was a question not long ago as to whether the common use of powerful currents of electricity by street railway and lightning companies would not provide the intelligent bank burglar with a means of resuming operations on a larger scale by attaching temporary wires to trolley wires aud melting out the locks of bank safes, but this feat can be accomplished only when all the conditions are prearranged for it, and It is not regarded as a feasible method for thieves. There are few, if any, improvements on the old-fashioned jummies, pullers, braces, spreaders and wedges of bygone days, but they are no longer used. Instead of seventy-five pounds of steel tools the modern bank thief carries a rubber bottle of nitroglycerin, a cake of brown soap, a fuse and a handful of detonating caps. The door of the safe is blown off —not pried off —and the man who does it is not the well-dressed, high-living crook of old, but a tramp, a hobo, an outcast even in the society of crime.

TILLMAN SHOOTS AN EDITOR.

Lieut. Governor of South Carolina Fire* at Man Who Had Denounced Him. James H. Tilhnan, Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina and nephew of United States Senator Benjamin Tillman, Thursday shot down Narcisse G. Gonzalez, editor of The State. Tillman shot Gonzalez within a few moments after leaving the Senate, over which he had presided, and the deed was committed within a few yards of the eapitol, on the main street of Columbia, and in the sight of hundreds of passersby. Tillman was accompanied by two State Senators. They met Gonzalez and, without a word, Tillman stepped toward tbe editor, drew a revolver aud fired at short range. The wounded man staggered back, leaned against a building, and the Lieutenant Governor, stepping forward, raised the revolver again. Gonzalez cried: “Shpot again, you coward!” His assailant lowered the revolver and walked away. Gonzalez was unarmed. lie was shot through the body and the physicians pronounced his wound probably fatal.. The cause of the shooting was that during tbe recent primary election Gonzalez bitterly opposed Tillman in his race for Governor. During the campaign Gonzalez in his paper called Tillman a "debauchee and blackguard.” and denounced him ns a "criminal candidate” und a “proven liar.”

Odds and Ends of the Struggle for Fuel.

Cocoanuts are being burned for fuel In Baltimore. The coal situation at Canton, Ohio, is becoming serious. A scarcity of cars has stoped all the big mines at Danville, 111. In Philadelphia the coal famine is increasing pulmonary diseases. The American Steel and Wire shops at Sycamore, 111., closed for lack of coal. Several of the schools at Aurora, 111., have been forced to close for lack of coal. The coal dealers in Jeffersonville, Ind., limit the orders to twenty-five bushels for each customer. The board of trustees of the Toledo (Ohio) workhouse released all prisoners sentenced for stealing coal. Loading toft coal into grain cars and marking it wheat is the scheme some of tbe coal operators have adopted. Ths Novelty Wood Works at La Crosse, Wis., laid off its large force on account of being unable to get Coal. The Western Tube Company at Kewanee, 111., employing 3.500 men, phut down its plant because of coal scarcity. Mayor W. C. Maybury of Detroit issued the call for the reassembling of the "get coal" convention at Washington. The House of Representatives of the Illinois General Assembly adopted u resolution for the appointment of a committee to Investigate the coal situation in ths State. No relief from the present Kansas coal famine is In sight. Dealers are helpless and the people are without coal. An effort will be made to have the Legislature take action at once looking toward a correction of the evil. The Chicago grand jury investigation has had little effect on the price list for coal. The following wholesale prices were quoted: Illinois and Indiana, mine run $4.50; lump, $4.75; eastern soft coals, f1j.50 to $5.75; hard coni, $lO. The public heating plant at Ackley, lowa, experienced trouble in getting coal and the managers have raised the price of service 50 per cent. No anthracite coal Is procurable in parts of lowa and farmers are hauling wood twenty miles. Punk soaked In coal oil is even better than a brick to make heat with, If jou can get the punk. Saturated with the oil it produces a fine, steady flame. Burglars ransacked the residence of Mrs. Adelaide Anderson in Minneapolis, Minn., and carried off 400 pounds of anthracite coal in sacks. They did not touch the jewelry or plate. Chicago people paid $112,000 more for the 87,500 tons of coal used in the city Wednesday than they would have paid a year ago. The greatest increase has been in tbe cost of ths common Indian* and Illinois Coals.

GREAT LOT OF MAIL.

PRESIDENT RECEIVES FROM 500 TO 1,000 LETTERS DAILY. Some of Thein Are Funny, Some Sad, and Many o f Them Are AbsurdVast Labor and Much Time Consumed in Handling Them. Washington correspondence:

THE quantity of mail received at the White House, in Washington, is enormous. Since President Koosex' velt lias been in ® office the mail addressed to the chief magistrate 45. has been the heaviest in history, and it is steadily growing. ProbaHLI. bly no other one man in the world ftl'Vl receives every day |h in the year so it *■ many personal letters as are sent to

the President of the United States, aud very certainly no other man receives communications of such varied character. At the present time anywhere from 500 to 1,000 letters are received at the White House ex cry day. In addition to this hundreds of pieces of printed matter are I received every day. The first step in the handling of the ; White IL i.se mail at its destination is taken L.x the trusted employe of the ! White liaise who-makes three or four ' trips daily to the postoffice to secure the mail. Upon the arrival of the letters at the White House they are turned i over to a clerk whose sole duty is to > open the envelopes ami unfold the let- ! ters. The communications next pass to i a clerk who sorts the missives. Many j of the letters pertain to what might be j termed routine governmental matters, i and are turned over to one or another of i the executive departments. The great I bulk of the President's mail goes to his , secretaries, aud most of it they answer over their own signatures without troubling the busy chief magistrate with the I matter. Doesn't Peruse Many. The President does not peruse person- I ally one-tenth of the letters which are | addressed to him. Indeed, fifty communications a day is a liberal estimate ■ of the number which comes under his i ?ye. The letters which by reason of ; their seeming importance or the doubt i of the secretaries as to their proper dis- ' position do finally pass the gauntlet and come into the hands of the President I himself are disposed in one of three ways. ; fn the cases of many of them he turns J the letters over to the secretaries with an ; indication of the character of the reply to j be sent. To a few of the letters the ! President dictates replies which he signs ! personally, and to a very limited num- | her of personal friends he pens confiden- j tial letters. Naturally such inscriptions as "Per- ( sonal” and “Private" cannot be regard- I fd in opening the White House mail, but i there are Ways in which the initiated ■ may insure their communication reaching the President personally. The approved plan is for the writer to place his Initials or name in autograph in the lower left hand corner of the envelope. For instance, a confidential note from the I President’s personal friend. Senator j Lodge, bears in the corner the initials ' H. C. L. In a majority of cases the provisions of these safeguards is superfluous for the clerk who opens the mail has come by experience to recognize instantly the handwriting of the relatives and intimates of the chief executive, and their letters go through without molestation. Sometimes individuals not personally known to the President, but who have learned of the pfan in vogue, seek to reach his ears by placing their initials on a missive or occasionally even to resort to the rue of affixing the initials of some one known to be close to the chief magistrate. Topics Sad, Funny and Absurd. The topics discussed in the White House mail are varied. Some are sad. some humorous, others absurd. Many writers appeal to the President for aid in securing them government berths. The “begging letters” form a vast proportion, ranging ull the way from the importunities of professional beggars to the requests of churches and charitable organizations seeking subscriptions. It may be noted that every appeal for aid which bears the slightest, evidence of possible worthiness is turned over to some charitable organization in the community from which it has emanated. Great quantities' of anonymous letters are received and a surprisingly large number of appeals come from persons who seek to enlist the aid of the President in payitig off mortgages. Finally there are the threatening and "crank” letters of various kinds and the number of communications of this kind received is simply astounding. Many of the letters addressed to the President are induced by newspaper comment. A striking evidence of this was afforded recently when an item went the rounds of the press to the effect that the , White House was-infested with rats. No j sooner had publicity been given the report than there was an avalanche of letI ters recommending various plans for getj ting rid of the rodents. Manufacturers of rat poisons and traps donated their wares and another solicitous citizen sent five eats which were declared to be famous rat catchers. The latter donation still further complicated matters for the ' correspondence corps, for a report was i printed to the effect that the felines were being persecuted by Jack, the White House dog. and this brought a number i of indignant protests from sympathetic ladies who denounced as un outrage the supposed cruelty. . The general public and particularly the feminine portion of it appears to cherish the belief that, whereas there is no possibility that a letter can reach the President inviolate there is reasonable surety that a miaaive to n member of his Immediate family will reach its destination unmolested. This is utter fallacy, for every letter addressed to Mrs. Uoosevelt or any of the children passes throng exactly the same channel as doos the hiail designed for the hehd of the household and the chances that it will ever come under the eye of the intended recipient are quite as remote.

INDIANA LAWMAKERS

In tho House Tliursd y Representative John V. Baird introduced a bill creating ' a commission to be composed of the president of the State Health Board and one i'epresentative of each medical and dental college in Indiana, whose duty it shall 'be to distribute unclaimed bodies and bodies of paupers to the various medical and dental colleges. The bill was referred. The measure is the result of wholesale grave robberies in Indianapolis for which more th*nn twenty men, white and black, are noxv under indictment. It provides a penalty for stealing bodies or selling or buying stolen bodies. in the Senate on_Friday the bill reducing minimum penalty for railroads failing to bulletin trains to S3OO, was passed. Resolution adopted favoring naming Indianapolis Army Post after Gen. I’, A. Hackleman. Bill introduced making the term of Supreme judges twelve years. Bill introduced increasing salaries of township assessors. Bill introduced extending prison labor system to 1910. Senate adjourned until Monday. In the House bill appropriating SI 15.000 for expenses of tbe Assembly was sent, to the Governor and signed,by him. Bill introduced increasing salaries of Marion Comity Superior judges to $5,000. Bill introduced extending period of prison labor contract system to 1910. House adjourned until Monday. The Senate on Monday adopted a resolution inviting President John Mitchell of the I nited Mine Workers to address the body. Bill protecting quail recommitted to committee. Hill re'stricting use of autonrobiles on county roads recommitted. Bill introduced- grading the offense of embezzlement. Committee report favoring bill making it unlawful to have lottery tickets in Indiana. Concurred in. In the House resolution was adopted inviting John .Mitchell to address tho House. The House and Senate met Tuesday in separate session and re-elected United States Senator Charles W. Fairbanks. There was no opposition. The nominating speech in the Senate for the liepublicans was made by Senator William A. Killmger, of Anderson, joint caucus chairmafi. In the House Newton Booth Tarkington, the novelist, made the nominating speech. He said in part: "If the continuance by the people of the party in power is a witness to anything in the world, mid it surely is, it Is an attestation to the fact that until the present political faiths and conditions and the leopard’s spots shall change you may not look to find political greatness in that fine sense of utility elsewhete than in the Republican party. Mr. Speaker, we of Indiana have looked and have found For the Republicans of this State I have the honor to nominate for United States Senator from Indiana for the term beginning March 4. 1963, Charles Warren Fairbanks, of Indianapolis.” The I>emo<T.ats voted for B. F. Shively, of South Bend. They were outnumbered two to one. United States Senator Charles W. Fairbanks wns re-elected Wednesday in joint session of the Legislature. The bill for the reorganization of the Jeffersonville reformatory was passed by the Senate after .a sharp tight, in which Democratic support was gained by providing for a board ot four trustees, two of whom shall be Democrats. The bill now goes to the House, where Booth Tarkington is making a lively campaign against its passage, on the ground that it represents machine polities. The attempt of the brewers and liquor interests to repeal the section of the temperance law providing for “blanket” remonstrances found expression in a bill introduced in tho House for that purpose. This is the first attack made upon the law since its passage' in 1893. and it has aroused the temperance people, who have begun lobbying against it. Among the bills introduced xvas one providing for a State fire marshal nt a salary of $2,000 a year. Another prohibits the < mployment of women in all branches of industry that are injurious to their health.
