The Bemidji Pioneer remarks that should Governor Johnson stick to his determination not tobe a candi- date for governor, the people of Minnesota may see '‘Bob” Dunn occuping the governor’s chair two years hence. In other words, if Jobhnson is done, then in two years Dunnwill be what Johnsonis now.— “News and Comment,” Duluth News-Tribune. It is certain that “Bob” Dunn is by no means ‘‘dead,” politically; but, as the Pioneer has already stated, it is doubtful if he could be induced to run against Governor Johnson, should the latter decide to again enter the race, a year from next fall. The governor’s veto of the tonnage tax measure made him very solid in the Eighth district, where Dunn relies on strength, should he become a candidate. “GRANNY” AND SUNDAY BALL. This, from the Cass Lake Times, is rather refreshing: “Our good friend Bro. Pease of the Anoka Union is greatly exercised because the last legislature sanc- tioned Sunday baseball playing, and the governor failed touse his reserve power to prevent. Baseball on Sun- day won’t harm you, brother, if you stay away from it; your honor and morals will not be smirched if you stay in the Union office all day.” CARRIERS REFUSE _ TO PARTIGIPATE Lake Strike Discussed by Six Boards of Arhitrafion. Detroit, Mich.,, May 19.—Represen- tatives of the boards of arbitration in six states bordering on the Great Lakes met here in an effort to bring about a settlement of the marine rtrike on the lakes. Representatives of the toards in New York, Ohio, In- diana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Mich- igan were present, with delegates from the Marine Engineers’ Beneficial association, the Lake Seamen’s unior, the Marine Cooks and Stewards’ un- fon and the Marine Firemen. President William Livingstone of the Lake Carriers’ assoclation, against whom the lake strike is particularly waged, was absent. Mr. Livingstone repeated statements previously made that his asseciation has nothing to arbitrate; that the open shop prin- efple for which they are contending will not adwit of arbitration and that he will not participate in the confer- ences.

' BITER AGAINST LABOR UNIONS Yan Cleave Addresses Manu- facturers’ Association. - WOULD CONTINUE FIGHT Bpeaker Protests Against the Possi- bility of Special Legislation to Le- galize the Boycott and Declares That “an Organization That Cannot Live Unless It Gets a License to _Break the Laws Deserves to Die.” New York, May 19.—Discussion of the labor problem was the feature of the day’s sessiorn of the convention of the National Association of Manufac- turers. President Van Cleave of the asgociation spoke in protest against the possibility of special legislation in favor of organized labor, pleading for consideration of the subject on the ground that such legislation would constitute a menace to the country’s welfare. The coming session of congress would seem a particularly favorable time to the labor leaders for the urg- ing of legislation to legalize picketing I OPYAIGH T BY S S THAUSY _ JAMES W. VAN CLEAVE. and the boycott, Mr. Van Cleave de- clared, because both parties would be particularly anxious to control the néxt house. “Reverses in the middle of a presi- dential term,” said the speaker, “us- ually mean that the opposing party will elect the nexi president. In all such canvasses there is always a pow- erful temptation for the politicians in both parties to.make promises and concessions to all sorts of elements with the hope of winning or retaining votes.” Urges Further Precautions. Reviewing the fight of the National Association of Manufacturers against “class legislation” Mr. Van Cleave urged necessity of further precau- tions. “Financlal confidence is reviv- ing and there is an improvement in most of the importaat lines of trade,” he said. “Unwise labor legislation, however, could quickly check this trade uplift.” Referring to the efforts of labor leaders to secure the enactmont of anti-injunction legislation President Van Clcave said: “We defeated them in Washington; then the conspirators massed their forces In Chicago and attempted to frighten the Republican national coun- vention and its candldates into sanc- Uoning their undemocratic, anti-repub- lican and un-American propaganda. ‘We defeated them there also. As the plotters then contrived to place their doctrine of class favors into the Den- ver platform and as they obtained formal cndorsement for them from the Democratic candidate we had no alternative except to throw our sup- port to the Chicago nominee. And we have excollent reasons for knowing our work told decisively in the gen- eral result. “Fair minded, } dirited citi- zens will say tha. organization which by the acknowledgment of its own leaders cannot live unless it gets a license to breax the laws deserves to die. “In the United States at this mo- ment there is an absolutism which violates the orders of its courts, which denounces its judges and which re- pudiates and defles the laws and au- thority of the nation.” John Kirby, Jr., of Dayton, 0., was the unanimous choice of the nominat- ing committee as a carndidate for president of the association to sue- ceed James W. Van Cleave. CAUSES LOSS OF $1,500,000 Fire Destroys Seven-Story Block at Akron, O. Akron, O., May 19.—Fire in the seven-story Hower block practically destroyed the building and its con- tents, causing a loss which will aggre- gate $1,500,000. Several girls em- ployed in the building had a narrow escape. Firemen were in danger from falling walls. The building was occupied entirely by light manufacturing companies. There were upwards of 200 employes in the building when the fire was dis- covered. The blaze started in the basement and the occupants of the block had plenty of tlme to escape, although the young women were thrown into & panic. MAKING FIGHT FOR TRAFFIC Soo Line to Construct Three New Branch Lines. Chicego, May 19—t is said that a direct line between Winnipeg and Chi- cago will be in operation over the rails of the Canadian Pacific railway by the fall of 1910. This will be ac- complished by the : building -of . a branch of the Soo line from Thief River Falls, Minn.,, to Duluth, meet- ing the plans of the Great Northern rallway in its projected line from Winnipeg to the international bound- These are made possible by the pur- chase of the Wisconsin Central by the Canadian - Pacific. = One of = these branches will be a cutoff intended.to shorten the distance between Minne- apolis and Chicago, thereby placing the company in a position to ‘bid for both freight and passenger traffic be- tween Chicago and the Twin Cities. The other branch line will be con- structed from Booten, eighty miles west of St. Paul on the main line of the Soo line, to Duluth, forming a direct- connection between. the Soo line and the Head of the Lakes. SERVED IN THE PHILIPPINES William 8. Washburn Appointed Givil Service Commissioner. ‘Washington, May 19.—President Taft has announced the nomination ot William S. Washburn as civil service commissioner, vice James T. Will- lams, resigned. He was for years a civil service commission employe here and served as civil service com- missioner in the Philippines under Mr. Taft. His nomination i3 based on his Philippine record. Mr. Washburn is a resident of New York. President Taft also sent to the gen- ate the mnomination of Walter H. Clark as governor of Alaska, to suc- ceed Governor Hoggatt, resigned.

SENT TO THE SENATE FINANGE COMMITTEE Gore Resolution for Investiga- tion of Retail Prices. ‘Washington, May 19. — Senator Gore's resolution directing the com- mittee on finance to conduct an in- vestigation into wholesale and retail prices of commodities was discussed before the senate at some -length. Seeking to have the resolution adopt- ed Mr. Gore sald he wished to have statements concerning the extortion- ate prices of retail dealers fully probed so that the country might know just where the responsibility for high prices rests. Senator Aldrich said it was evi- dent that such an investigation as that contemplated by the resolution could not be conducted befors the pending tarift bill was disposed of: but he had no objection to such an in- vestigation being undertaken. Sen- ator Carter pointed out the fact that in doing this work the finance com- mittee would necessarily cover the same ground which the proposed tar- iff commission would cover. By a vote of 50 to 29 the resolution ‘was sent-to the committee on finance, Senators Bristow, Crawford and La Follette voting no with the Demo- crats. Senator Stone’s amendment to con inue the Dingley rates on razors was defeated, 36 to 43. MAY WHEAT GOES TO $1.30 New High Record for the Season at Chicago.

Portland, Ore., May 19.—Informa- tion has: reached here of the finding, four days after their marriage, of the bodies of Louis H. Worley and his bride at their home near Redmond, a town in the vicinity of Prineville, Ore. The tragedy is shrouded in mystery. Mrs. Worley’s :charred body was found in the burned ruins of the home, while that of her husband was found in the barn with-a bullet wound in the temple. According to the ver- dict of the coroner’s jury, which held an inquest over Mrs. Worley’s body, the woman came to her death acci- dentally. Whether Worley committed suicide or whether the couple were victims of a double murder has not been decided. Worley came to Ore- gon from St. Louis, where he was born. He owned ome of the best farms in the district and was consid- ered prosperous. Recently he sent for Miss Ruth Leeroy of Chicago, his sweetheart, who had known him in the East, and she came here -and married him, the wedding taking place ‘Wednesday last. BLOCKS TRAFFIC FOR A TIME Partial Cavein of Famous Tunnel Near Leadville, Colo. Denver, May 19.—Nearly 500 feet of the famous tunnel over Tennessee pass on the Denver and Rio Grande railway, located about five miles west of Leadville, has caved in. There ‘were no casualties, but the tracks will be blocked probably for three days. The cavein occurred about 1,000 feet from the portal of the tunnel, probably at cne of three air shafts that reach up through the tunnel roof, and undoubtedly was caused by the melting of the extremely heavy snows. The discovery of the cavein was made by a track walker. Believing that the vast mass of dirt and rock had buried a train he hurried back to the first station and gave the warning. A train bearing engineers and officials of the road was rushed to the scene, but it was found that no one had been hurt. Arrangements have been made whereby trafiic will be taken care of by the Colorado Midland railway. BEGINS HIS TERM IN PRISON Captain Peter C. Hains Taken to Sing Sing. New York, May 19.—Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr., was taken from the Queens county jail to Sing Sing prison to begin what will be a term of at least elght years unless an appeal taken by his counsel results in a new trial. No effort was made to prevent his transfer to Sing Sing. Fugene N. L. Young, one of Hains' attorneys, said an appeal ‘would be taken to the higher courts in the regular way. When Captain Hains left the jail in ocustody of a keeper his bearing was not materially changed from his first appearance in the courtroom. He walked beside the keeper in a dazed manner and showed no evidence of emotion. On the way to the Grand Central station he neither recognized nor spoke to any one. None of his rolatives was at the jail when he departed. Collision on Chicago Elevated. Chicago, May 19.—A number- of persons were injured, one serlously, in a collision between two south- bourd trains on the Northwestern Ele- vated railroad. William C. Schroeder, cashier for the Continental National bank, was the most seriously injured, ‘both legs being broken. MRS. TAFT MUCH IMPROVED President’s Wife Recovering From Nervous Breakdown. ‘Washington, May 19.—Mrs. Taft, ‘wio suffered a nervous breakdown, is much improved. After the call of Dr. Delaney, the attending physician, at the White House it was announced that the president’s wife had rested comfortably and was much better. Mrs. Taft became ill while on a trip down the Potomac river with the president and a small party of friends. The excitement, heat and exertion, as the rresident himself expressed it, were too much for her.

I’OUR HUNDRED AFFECTED Increase in Price of When Cause of Trouble, Augmented by Coincident -8trike of Employes—Police Fear Rioting and an Unusually Large Number of Men Are Dectailed for Duty in That Section. New York, May 19.—A bread fam- ine among the 700,000 residents of the Eaat 8ide was inaugurated when more than 400 bekeries closed down. The trouble: started with the increase in the price of ‘wheat recently and was augmented by the coincident strike of the bakery employes on the East Side, At a meeting of the bakery owners it was unanimously decided to close all of their shops, numbering more than 460. The police, hearing of this, detailed an unusually large number of men on duty in that section during the hours. when housewives- usuaily visit the bakerles. There was a fear that the riotous scenes of a few years ago, when the price of ‘meat was |/ raised, might be repeated. Bakers who are not affected by the action of the meeting will not be able to supply one-tenth of the demand for bread- in the crowded East Side and therefore it was believed that there would be an unprecedented demand for flour and bread from other sec- tions. ONLY ARMENIANS PUNISHED The Really Guilty Parties In Adana Massacre Immune From Arrest. Adana, Asiatic Turkey, May 19— There are still 100 Armenians in prison in Adana and many of them are in chains. Christians alone are belug punished for the recent out- rages and it is apperent that those really guilty are immune. Further- more, the government has failed com- pletely to make good its promises to return the property taken from Arme- nians. The speclal commission sent to investigate the circumstances of the recent fighting is forcing the Ar- menjans from the refugee camps out in tke country where there is no pro- tection.
