RESOLUTIONS IN THE SENATE First Deals With Treasury Depart. ment Operations During Financial Crisis and Second Relates to Clear ing House Certificates. Washington, Dec. 10.~—Senator Till- man has introduced resolutions direct- Ing the committee on finance to in- vestigate the recent proceedings of the secretary of the treasury in con- nection with the financial crisis and also to make inquiry concerning clear- ing house certificates.

STATE WINS VICTORY. North Dakota Law Prohibiting Adul- terated Paints Upheld. ‘Washington, Dec. 10.—The supreme court of the United States has decid- ed the case of the Heath & Millegan Manufacturing company, paint manu- facturers of Chicago, and a large num ber of other paint manufacturers lo- cated in different parts of the coun- try vs. J. H. Worst, director of the | North Dakota government agricultural experiment station, brought to test the validity of the North Dalkota statutes of 1905 prohibiting the adul- teration of white lead and mixed paints. The opinion was rendered by Justice McKenna and upheld the law as not inconsistent with the federal Constitution, thus affirming the de- cision of the United States circuit court for the North Dakota district. KAISER RETURNS TO LONDON Will Spend Several Days Sightseeing in English Metropolis, London, Dec. 10.—Emperor William of Germany, who has completed his “rest cure” at Highcliffe castle, has arrived in London for three days of sightseeing. He lunched with King Edward at Buckingham palace at noon and later took up his residence at the German embassy. The emperor looks to be in splendid health. It is his in- tention to visit Queen Wilhelmina in Holland on his way back to Potsdam. Case Against Packers Advanced. ‘Washington, Dec. 10.—The supreme court of the United States has set the hearing of cases of the United States vs. the Armour, Swift and other pack- ing companles, involving the charge of accepting rebates on shipments for export, Jan. 20, thus advancing the cases on the docket. Aid for Destitute Families. Chicago, Dec. 10.—The Chicago Re Cross society is making a whirlwind forty-eight-hour campaign to raise $5,000 for the destitute relatives of the hunrireds of miners killed by the explosion at Moucagah, W, Va. SWEDEN'S AGED KING DEAD Oscar Il. Exgpires in the Royal Palace at Stockholm. Stockholm, Dec. 10.—Oscar IL, king | of Sweden, is dead, aged seventy- eight. The death of the venerable mon- arch occurred in the royal apartment of the palace, where, surrounded by the members of his family, including the aged Queen Sophia and the crown prince, Oscar Gustave, and high min- isters of state, the inevitable end had been awaited, while outside the pal- ace great crowds stood with bowed heads and tearful eyes long after the announcement came of the death of their well beloved sovereign. The last hours of the expiring mon- arch were passed in unconsciousness and up to the end he.gave no sign of recognizing those about him. The queen was grief stricken because he conld not bid her farewell, The whole country is bowed with grief for King Oscar, who wag some- thing more than a ruler of his people and had endeared himself to them as an intimate and personal friend. The succession to the throne of Sweden now passes to Oscar Gustave Adolphe, duke of Vermland, the oldest son of the late king. At a meeting of the council of state the new king took the oath of allegiance under the title of Gustave V. and adopted the motto, “With the people for the father- land.” The princes then took oath of allegiance and the new monarch ac- cepted the homage of the state offl- clals, LABOR MUST ENTER POLITICS Advice of English Leader in Address at Chicago, Chicago, Dec. 10.—The rapid rise of trade unionism in England and its ex- traordinary success in the field of politics was set forth in an address bristling with criticism of English politics made by John Hodge, mem- ber of parliament and a well known English labor leader. He spoke be- fore the Woman’s Trade Union league in Bowen hall, Hull House. Mr. Hodge’s visit to Chicago fol- lowed his attendance upon the Amer- fcan Federation of Labor convention at Norfolk, Va. He asserted that the future of the labor movement lies in the political field and that this should be the beacon of trades unlonists. But Mr. Hodge loves neither socialism or its doctrines. “The first English trades unions were formed because capital op- pressed labor,” he sald. “It was not until later that labor realized how ridiculous it is to band into unions to force an employer to grant humane working conditions and then to elect him to parliament to make the laws to govern his workingmen.” HEADED FOR SOUTH DEPOSITORS TAKE ACTION Accuse Officials of Defunct Financial Concern of Loaning Immense Sums to Themselves and Cause Their Ar- rest on Charge of Emhezzlement. San Francisco, Dec. 10.—David F. Walker, president of the California Safe Deposit and Trust company, was found speeding South on a Southern Pacific train when he was supposed to be at his San Mateo home. He was placed under arrest and taken from the train at Santa Barbara on instruc- tions of Assistant District Attorney Francis J. Heney. Shortly after the arrest of Bankers Brown and Bartnett detectives were Jhurried to San Mateo to keep David F. Walker, president of the bank, un- der surveillance, but finding he had already left his home trailed him down to Santa Barbara, where he was held by the police. Though no warrant had been sworn out for Walker it was thought best to keep him in sight. The detectives on reaching San Mateo surrounded the house where he was supposed to be lying ill, but heard that a man answer- ing Walker’s description had been seen boarding a train for the South. A-hasty investigation proved that their | man had flown, but word was sent down the line and the police of Santa Barbara took him in charge. Heney telegraphed that Walker be held. Through the activity of the depos- fornia Safe Deposit and Trust com- pany the above developments were made possible in a few hours after the real werk of criminal prosecution began. Officlals Get Bank’s Cash. According to a statement issued by the committee and the attorneys the cfficers of the bank took practically all the money deposited at the Fill- more street branch and loaned it to stockholders in large sums, to them- selves and to mythical companies. It was intended to cause the arrest of the officials for these acts, but upon advice of Francis J. Heney the minor charges were dropped for that of fel- ony embezzlement in connection with the misappropriation of the funds of the Colton estate. As a result of the committee’s work J. Dalzell Brown was arrested, a war- rant was issued for the arrest of Wal- ter J. Bartnett on a charge of felony embezzlement and a detective was dis- patched to San Mateo to the home of David F. Walker, president of the bank, with instructions to stay there day and night and to keep him under surveillance until the committee gave him further instructions. His depar- ture from there led to his subsequent eapture and arpest at Santa Barbara. W. J, Bartnett was arrested at his home in Marion county and was held in custody there. Brown, who was ar- rested earlier in the day in this city, was locked up in jai LID ON EVERYTHING. New York Experiences a Genuine “Blue” Sunday. New York, Dec. 10.—New York Sun- day treated its millions of residents and tens of thousands of week end visitors to the novelty of a thoroughly “blue” Sunday. Few had expected to live to see the day. There have been more or less “dry” Sundays and Sundays without baseball, but the memory of the old- est inhabitant failed to recall a Sab- bath here when one was compelled to choose between the churches and the parks if he would see or hear some- thing to entertain him. The effect of the Sunday closing was { apparent everywhere. Broadway was deserted except for those who found nothing better than to walk the streets. Upon the closed doors of the opera houses, theaters, music halls, dancing academies, skating rinks and penny arcades placards had been posted. These bluntly announced that the places had been closed for the day in accordance with Justice O’Gorman’s decision. At the theaters even the box offices were closed and the ad- vance sales for the week interrupted. Japanese Colonies for lowa. Eldora, Ia., Dec. 10.—As an induce- ment to farmers to raise sugar beets for a sugar beet factory at Waverly, in Bremer county, agents of the com- pany are agreeing to send Japanese families into this region wherever there are twenty acres agreed upon and have the Japs tend to all of the raising of the beets at a stated figure per acre. Zulu King Surrenders. Pietermaritzburg, Natal, Dec. 10.— Dinilulu, the Zulu king, who has been responsible for the threatening situa- tion in Natal, has surrendered. A magistrate has been sent out from here with a warrant for his arrest and preparations made to proceed against him with an armed force if he did not come in. Two Robbers Shot to Death. ‘Winlock, Wash., Dec. 10.—Two men who had attempted to rob the post- oflice here were chased by a posse, surrounded in the woods and shot to death, Before being surrounded one of the men shot and seriously wound- ed T. F. McFadden, a constable, who had ancosted them. SUGGESTS IMPEACHMENT. Attorney Questions Decisions of Min- nesota Supreme Court. St. Paul, Dec. 10.—In a letter ad- dressed to Chief Justice Charles M. Start of the state supreme court, a copy of which has been forwarded to Governor Johnson, Attorney Francis B. Hart of Minneapolis questions cer- tain decisions made by the highest tribunal in the state within the last six years and calls for an explanation of the decisions.

Mr. Hart says in his letter to Gov- ernor Johnson, dated Dec. 7: “Enclosed I hand you a copy of a letter this day mailed to Hon. Charles M. Start, chicf justice of the supreme court of the state. It explains itself. My object in preparing the paper is to present in an orderly manner the character of alleged grievances exist- ing against the court and to advise the court thereof that proper inquiry may be made as to whether they are in fact grievances—that is, are the de- cisions referred to, or any of them, right? “It is a serious matter and there- fore an important one. I leave it to your good judgment as to what shall, at this time, be done in the premises. Political complications may suggest themselves, but it is not a question of politics. “The attorney general’s office or the judiciary committee of the house, or both, are your properly constituted legal advisers in this matter. You surely will not act hastily and as the merits of the charge rest entirely upon what the court itself has said and done it is not easy for you to act unjustly.” DEATH LIST MAY BE REDUGED Said Less Than 300 Miners Per- ished at Monongah, W. Va. Monongah, W. Va., Dec. 10.—Rescue work has been resumed in the mines at Monongah. The fire in No. 8 mine has been walled in and following an examination by Government Expert Hall and Chief Mine Inspector Paul the rescuing parties again began their quest for the-dead. No more bodies had been recovered up to noon, the total so far being fifty-three. The rescue work is being pushed under the rules formulated by the board of health. Bodies in an advanced state of decomposition will be buried direct from the mines. The plan, which was adopted for the protection of the pub- lic health, has greatly increased the grief of the relatives and friends of the victims. The monetary loss caused by the explosion cannot be estimated at this time, but it will amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. About 800 cars of coal worth $40,000 were de- molished by the explosion. The mules were valued at $8,000 and the large fan and powerhouse at the mouth of mine No. 8 at nearly $50,000. C. S. Watson, president of the Fair- mont Coal company, wired Governor Dawson at Charleston, W. Va. that the number of men lost had undoubt- edly been overestimated. The actual loss, he said, can only be determined by taking a census of the community and this has been started. The tele: gram says: “Fire Boss Trader of No. 6 mine states from personal knowledge of men working and men he has seen since the accident that the maximum casualties at No. 6 will not exceed 110. Our former estimate taken from payrolls was 174 at No. 6. If the same basis holds true at No. 8 the total will not exceed 260.” Woman Not Seriously ‘Injured. Utica, N. Y. Dec. 10.—Henry A. Johnson of Ilion, fifty years of age, married, fired three shots at Mrs. George Hurlburt and then turned the revolver on himself and fired a shot into his head. He will die. Mrs. Hurl- burt was struck in the cheek and the bullet went into her mouth. She is i not seriously hurt. She is about thirty years old. S o —_— = = CANKON GETS CHOICE. P First to Selest Convention Headquar- ters at Chicago. Chicago, Dee. 10.—Applications for reservation of rooms for the Repub- lican national convention continue to pour in from all quarters on Chicago “otel managers. The accommoda- tions, as a rule, are for state delega- tions, but there are occasional tele- grams of inquiry for special reserva- tions for individuals, these being for the most part the leaders in the sev- eral states. The managers of the various pres- idential candidates have shown alac- rity in reserving whole suites from Wwhich the *glad hand” will be stretched out to delegates next June. The vigor of the boom of “Uncle Joe” Cannon was shown when the speaker beat all the White House aspirants in securing his convention hea®quarters. His réservations were made late Fri- day evening, in advance of the action of the national committee, through Charles G. Dawes, who engaged rooms at the Auditorium Annex. ‘And the speaker got the “presidential suite,” the best apartments in the house. An indication that Fairbanks is still figured in the running was shown ‘When Mr. Dawes returned to the An- nex Saturday and made reservations for the vice president. Friends of Secretary Taft and of Senators Foraker and Knox wired the Auditorium asking for reservations tentatively, adding that definite quar- ters will be arranged for early this week.

AGAINST RATE CUTS. Georgia Federation of Labor Takes Position. Augusta, Ga., Dec. 10.—The Georgia. Federation of Labor went on record through an interview issned by its president, D. P. O’Connell, after a meeting of the executive committee, as deploring the reduction of railroad rates and fares through legislation and opposing any further legislation of the kind. Mr. O’Conneil contends, as does also the executive committee, that la- bor conditions in the South have been disturbed by the legislation, which has caused shortening of hours and thereby reduction of wages, as well as being the direct cause of numbers of workingmen being laid off. $4,000 Goes Up in Flames. Fort Dodge, Ia., Dec. 10.—Fearing for the safety of his money John Cun- ningham, a brakeman of Boone, Ia., drew out $4,000 from a bank. He car- rled it on his person for some time and while on a visit at the home of his father-in-law, J. J. Moore, at Strat- ford, placed the roll of bills in an empty stove. While the family were visiting the neighbors the house took fire and burned to the ground. With it was consumed Cunningham’s $4,000, Dead Engineer Runs by Signal.
