The presentation of the papers was made the basis of a sharp colloquy between Patterson and Scott. “The Senator from West Virginia will admit® that he is one of the mine owners,” said Patterson, and Scott ad- mitted that such was the fact. Patterson then proceeded tp say that the Colorado Mine Owners' Association had been more directly responsible than all other infiuences for the course of Governor Peabody in connection with the recént strikes in the State. | The organization, He said, devoted its energies to securing the extermination of union labor, and he asserted that great injustice had been done by the use of the militia in imprisoning men, establishing a press censorship, etc. Scott said in reply that he had al-! ways been a friend of organized labor, but there never had been “a more tyr- annical or despotic organization on the face of the earth than that which the Colorado Senator is championing here now The resolution was referred to Judiciary Committee. —_———— HAVEMEYER DISCUSSES ‘ PROFITS ON SUGAR the President of Refining Company Says Accumulated Profits Will Be Used as Working Capital.

The burden of the report of each speaker was that while conditions of | the market and range are not as they | i would like to have them, yet the live- ' stock industry is in good condition. The | majority of States had grievances on | account of the shortage of the range. | The greatest grievance of the stock- men appeared to be against the rail- roads. These corporations, it was stated, have caused great suffering to the stockmen by their dilatory meth- ods of handling stock trains.’ Stoc! cars have been sidetracked to permit the passage of empty cars and other sources of delay have been permitted to interfere with the transportation of stock, until the producer cannot get his product to market in any sort of condition. The consensus of opinion was. that the interests of the livestock industry demand the passage of a law requir- Tiz_xg railroads. to handle livestock in train load lots and make not less than fifteen miles per hour, including stops, from point of loading to point of de- livery.

The quantity of explosive was measured so exactly that, although the front, door of the safe was blown out, | the windows of the building were not | broken and the interior of the bank | was but little wrecked. After blowing off the front doors of the safe the robbers removed the inner | chest, a steel box weighing 500 pounds, and taking it on a hand truck three, blocks through the town stole a horse | and buggy from the stable of O. W. Jewett and made their escape. What remained of the strong box was found this evening in a field several miles from Sawteile. The box had been blown open and the money removed. Nearly $150 in silver was picked up near by. Some of the money had been blown a considerable distance. The robbery was committed by three men who were seen to get off the last electric car frem this city at Sawtelle | last night. The town has no police protection and the robbers could have worked ail night without being dis- turbed.® Complete descriptions of the men have been supplied to the authori- ties, but no trace either of them or of | the stolen rig has been found. The bank which was robbed is a branch of the bank of Santa Monica, of which a son of United States Sena- tor Jones is president. As a resuilt of the robbery a general warning was sent out to-day to all the banks in the smaller towns throughout this section of the State. A year ago, when it was known that bank robbers were in this part of the country, many of the banks placed special guards on duty, and this plan will again be followed. The detec- tives believe that the crime was com- mitted by the gang which so success- fully operated in the Middle West last year. B — State May Intervene in the Suit. SANTA CRUZ, Jan. 13.—The South- ern Pacific Company to-day began suit against Bertha Leibbrandt to recover possession of a portion of the beach occupied by her bathhouze and $500 damages. The defendant paid $30 for a lease for onme year, beginning last June, but the plaintiff claims the agent acted without authority and under a mistake. An offer to return the money paid was refused. Legal complications are expected to result from the suit. The Attorney ueneral may take a hand. for it is claimed the State owns a por- tion of the beach and that neither the railroad company nor the city of Santa Cruz has any title. —_—ee—————— Convict Dougherty Gives Testimony.
