Benson himself was Indicted not less

were employed to prevent the trial
of the cases. Meanwhile special
agents of the government were sent
to Saa Franclsco to make a thorough
lnvep;atlon of state an'tfertornl officials-'
who had protected Benson.
They found that the Southern Paclftr
railroad as well as a number
prominent officials were interested

special agents completed their evi

LINCOLN. Neb . June 21- F'd-
in critiiism of tho Republican plat
form iu gcnerul, Willaim J. llryuti to
night gave out a statoiijent in which
he assails In particular the anii-in-juiR'tlon
plank of the Chicago plat
form, describing U a a 't-,.unparent
fraud." The statement v. nirh will
appear under the heading, "Republi
cans Deceiving Labor." in the next i
Issue of Mr. Hryan's Commoner, says,
in part: !
"The anti-injunction plank of the
Republican plat lorm, as finally
adopted, is a t runsparent fraud. It la
possille that the members of tin
committee were buncoed by some
trust lawyer that Is the only char
itable view that can be taken of It.
Those who advocated the plank
claimed to be doing so as a conces
sion to the wane-earners and yet, it
one will read the plank, hi- will see
that it is, in fad, an announcement
that the Republican party is unalter
ably opposed to the laboring men's
position. ,
"The plank assumes that some
body !s attacking tin courts and that
the courts are in danger of losing
support or having their powers awak
ened. There is no attack upon Ihc
courtK; there Is no thought anywhere
of interfering with any legitimate
j function of tlie court. Tlie Republi
can convent ion puts up ;P man of
straw and then proceeds tiidemoltsli
it; it suspects an unholy inlt up
on tlie Judiciary and its unTu;hteous
fndlgiuit Ion f I mis expression in a
boastful assertion of its innocence of
part lei pat ion iu any such suspected
iissault.'
Continuing he said:
"Secretary Tail is known as the
father of government by injunction
and his speeches in Oklahoma last
ir gave conclusive proof of his ad
herence to the position taken by him
on the bench. He is sUU iiyfnyor of
the use of tlie writ of injunction In
labor cases and he is opposed to trial
Injury.

SOCIALISM Tlill'MPIIAXT.

UKRLIN', June Leaders of
the German Social Democracy assert
that in twelve districts In Iter! in six
candidates will surely be elected1.
when the definite issue takes place
tomorrow, and that (here is a large
probability of two or three more.
One Socialist was elected In Hanover
at the t'trst ballot on June 'i, and
the second ballot may add one or two
additional members to this represen
tation. The elections are looked up-I
iu as a great triumph for the prln-'
iincn in ninif n in lien nihil
lime In history that the Socialists
have naiued representation hi the
Prussian Angeordnitenhaus. Their
entrance into that stroughold of con
fer vat Ism has created a sensation
and may Induce the government to
rant tlie long demanded franchise
reform. Women and children of the
workhigmen's cjuarter are taklnji
:iart in the general (Jubilation, and
:he public demons! rations of Joy at
what Is termed the speedy triumph
;f Socialism.
The victories of the SoclnlistH are
.ill the more remarkable because, tho
I'ranehlKu on which elections to' the
Diet are conducted are based on a
nroperty (pialillcation, which con fore
-he bulk of power to Hie wealthy and
.llsl'ranchises the masses. Tho gov
ernment (nt)ierto has resisted mic
essfully atf demands for reform.
Chancellor von Huelow'a attitude on
Mils (juestlon and the resultant street
demonstrations last January are re
ailed as the latest incidents tn thle
perennial struggle.

! Arthur Fulk Drowned in North
Umpqua above Glide
BODY NOT YET RECOVERED
DeSpltC WarOlOg, He Ti.CS tO iltA
Jam In Haplds and Is Swept
lo Uls Dealb .
While attempting to break a log
jam In a mass of swirling rapids lc
North Umpqua river, last Saturday
afternoon, Arthur Fulk, a logger
aged about 21 years, was drowned.
flio accident occurred about two
in lies above the fish hatchery, 22
miles cast of this city and a fen
miles below tho spot where Win.
Delyrla, another logger, was drowned
two years ago. Although diligent
search has been prosecuted ever since
Kulk's death, his body has not yet
been brought to light, and like Dely-
rta's body, It may uover be recovered.
Fulk was In the employ of Christ
ner & Watklus, who havo a contract
for floating logs to Winchester for
Kendall Bros. He enmo to Rose
burg from Idaho a little over a week
ago with an older brother and an
other mnn, and the trio, being ex
perienced loggers, were Immediately
engaged by ('bristlier & Watklns. -Wyeu
the jam occurred at the
rapids last Saturday, Chrisner tried
to dissuade Fulk from going out on
the logs, warning hhn of the treach
erous nature of the river. A skill
ya always on hand for such emer
'fcncles, but Fulk declined to use U
and leaped out on the Jam with his
cant hook. A moment later a lurch
ing log threw hhn from his bal
ance into the water and the curmnt
carried him rapidly down the
stream. He was seen to rise twice
and then disappear around a sllghl
bend. Fulk was a strong swimmer
and at first no apprehension as to his
sai(ity was felt. To his fellow mem
hertriu tho logging crew, nine In nil,
It had appeared that he was gradual
ly making his way toward the shore
As they hastened along the bank f
i ho river, however, they saw noth
ing moro of Fulk or any sign of
where he had crnwled out of the wa
ter, thus Indicating unmistakably
hat he was drowned. That Fulk
was unable to swim ashoro Is attrib
uted tofui belief that ho was seized
with a emmp, which Is very probable
in view of the fact that he was con
siderably overheated from work
when he struck the very cold watei
of the river.
titllf lo anpvfl.a.1 t.1 hid ofna
and two brothers, besides the one
Ihnt wltnesHPrf his fatal acrlflent.
The fiimilv bonie Is In Crpelln
