Miners Arrested by Soldiers Bring Suit Against the Governor. PR DENVER, Oct. 3.—8trikes and lockouts at the mines in Cripple Creek and other gold mining districts tn Colorado have already reduced the mineral production of this State this year at least $2,500,000, and if the present conditions obtain until the end of the year the production will fall more than $6,000,00 below what it would have been under normal conditions. In consequence of the strike 1000 soldlers of the Colorado National Guard have been doing police duty in Cripple Creek for four weeks and as et neither the mine owners nor the strikers show any evi- dence of weakening. The cost to the State of maintaining a military force in the fleld is estimated at $50,000 a month. Governor James H. Peabody was made the defendant to-day in two damage sults in $100,000 each, filed by Patrick L., Mullaney and Thomas Foster, union min ers who were arrested by military of- ficers on duty in Cripple Creek, confined | in the guardhouse fifteen days and set | at lberty last Wednesday after habeas | corpus proceedings were instituted ix their behalf. Adjutant General Sherman Bell, Brigadier General John Chase and | Major Thomas E. McClelland also were | made defendants to the suits. i Governor Peabody to-day Instructed Generals Bell and Chase, his representa- any process, civil or criminal. In addition to the troubles in Cripple Creek, mining has been almost entirely suspended in the Telluride and Ophir dis- tricts, where about 1500 miners and mill- men were called out in order to enforce the demand for an eight-hour day. Theré have been no disturbances in those places | and no troops aré stationed there. Hun- dreds of strikers have left the State, seeking work elsewhere. e agngis o O SAN FRANCISCO POLICE | ASKED ABOUT WONG CHINK | Alleged Boston Murderer Said to | Have Committed Similar Crime Here Some Years Ago. BOSTON, Oct.’ 3.—After investigation | into the murder of Wong Yock Chung and the attempted murder of Ning Mung and | Yee Shoon Tong in Chinatown the police | are of the opinion that the Celestials may | be the victims of a conspiracy formulated | by highbinders as a result of the frequent | arrests of several Chinese lately for gamb- | ling. | Wong Chink, the alleged murderer of | Wong Yock Chung, who was arrested last night, and three others were examined at police headquarters to-day and the| facts learned, it is sald, substantiate the | conspiracy theory. Police Officer Allen | brought io police headgparters to-day a | mail garment worn by Wong Chink when he was arrested. It consists of a number of thin steel plates, covered with silk and held together with chains. Officer | Allen says the residents of Chinatown state that the alleged murderer escaped | from San Francisco some years ago after the murder of a Chinese in that city in a manner similar to last night's affair here. The police of San Francisco have ter and the Bertillon measurements of the | will be wired to the California ble identification. suspect city for po: IR T L R DRAINAGE CANAL ACT | EXPENSIVE FOR CHICAGO | Validity of Statute Will Be Attacked | by Order of the City ! Council. ‘ CHICAGO, Oct. 3.—Chicago's City Coun- | cil is preparing to attack the validity "” the act creating Chicago's $40,000,000 drain- | age canal. The Finance Committee of the | Council has formally advised Corporation | | Counsel Tolman to bring an action in the | Supreme Court of the State next week. | A threatened depletion of the city's w ter fund, with a possible deficit is the | moving force behind the Aldermen and | the act of the last Legislature by which the suburb of Cicero was added to the sanitary district has caused the trouble. | By the provisions of tHat act Chicago will be required to furnish the residents of | Cicero water at 4 cents per 1000 gallons, | while its own citizens pay 10 cents. The Aldermen say it would mean the expendi- | ture of $350,000 to extend the mains and | $100,000 to erect a new pumping station | and tiat water would be supplied at less | than cost. Should the city comply with this act| it is said other country towns could de- | mand the same concession awarded Cicero. This, the Aldermen say, would be ruinous. Sigigeg o e S WILL ACCEPT HAWAIIAN BONDS AS SECURITY | 1 Secretary Shaw Informs George R.| Cartar of His Decision Regard- ing Proposed Issue. WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—Secretary of | the Treasury Shaw to-day informed | George R. Carter, Secretary of the Terri- | tory of Hawali, that he would accept $1,220,000 of Hawalian bonds as security | for deposits for circulation up to 9 pet | cent of their face value. The Territory | proposes to issue $1,000,000 of bonds under the organic act. They are to be 5 per | cent bondse and can be called in in five | years. They are limited to fifteen years. | The bonds are to be exempt from taxa- | tion in Hawall and will be a charge on the consolidated revenues of the Terri- tory. Secretary Carter stated to-day that after the Issuance of these bonds the total, debt of the Territory will be less | than 2 per cent of its taxable property and less than the income of last year. ————— GREATEST CAR SHORTAGE IN RAILROAD HISTORY Companies Find Themselves Unable | to Accept All the Traffic That Is Offered. CHICAGO, Oct. 3.—The railroads of the | entire country are face to face with what ' promises to be the greatest car. shortage | in their history. Despite the fact that most liberal orders for new equipment have been given by all the roads during | the last twelve months they now find themselves unable to accept all the traffic that is offered. The condition of affairs is outlined by Vice President W. C. Brown of the Lake Shore, who says that the company is in urgent need of 1500 boxcars dally. On other systems, with a much greater mile- age than the Lake Shore, larger numbers of cars are needed for immediate use. ———— Sitka-Juneau Cable Open.
