His Hand Seen' in the Recent Labor Federation Manifesto. The Everlasting Heatherbloom Petticoat LETTERS IN SWEEPINGS BEHIND COACHED (I WITNESS MAKES ROOSEVELT TARGET Aims to Elect Labor Men to Congress and Form Labor Party as In British House of Commons. WASHINGTON. July 23. (Special) Politicians hre are amazed at the tone of some of the paragraphs in the procla mation Just issued by the executive coun cil of the American Federation of Labor relative to the election of Congressmen and members of State Legislatures. In some features of the address to the work lngmen the politicians profess to see the hand of William Randolph Hearst, who recently, just after the campaign plans of the American Federation were mapped out. had a conference with President Gompers and other leaders of the organ ization. Particularly Is this the case in connec tion wliu the parts of the proclamation which attack tire "party in power," re gardless of the reform work done by the Republicans as a whole during the last session of Congress under the direction of President Roosevelt. Somebody, It is believed, has urged the labor leaders to exert their power in the direction of over throwing the present Administration and then pushing Hearst for President of the United States. Labor Party in Congress. The most significant thing, however. In the broader aspect of the new political movement by the union labor leaders is seen in the published plan of making out-and-out labor candidates for Congress in many districts throughout the country. The more optimistic among the labor leaders in the movement declare that there will be some members wearing the party designation of "union labor" in the Sixtieth Congress. They hope thus to establish a nucleus for a union labor par ty in the halls of Federal legislation which will occupy a position of force such as the labor element now exercises in the British Parliament. The immediate ambition of President Gompers and his aids, as previously an nounced, is to defeat the re-election of certain members of Congress on the union labor blacklist. As a side issue in the coming campaign between the two old parties, this flank warfare .undoubtedly will add much to the interest of the fight. Slake Issue of Miller Case. W. A. Miller, assistant foreman of the Government printing office bindery, hero of the "open shop" rumpus of a few years ago, who was suspended by Acting Foreman H. J. Ashlon Saturday, is awaiting developments before making any statement or taking any steps relative to the latest muddle. It was announced to day that a written statement of the charges preferred by Ashion will be sent to Miller by Public Printer Btillings to morrow. Then it is probable Miller will have something to say. Mr. Ashion also (refused to discuss the matter .today, fur ther than that Miller's suspension was in the Interest of discipline and order. Miller's friends intimate that the old feeling of the union against nonunion men, which' has smoldered ever . since President Roosevelt reinstated Miller and declared the Government Printing Office an open shop, is behind the present af fair. It is expected that the issue, if such be formally alleged to be the case, will be joined within a day or two, and that a controversy will be started which will arouse labor circles all over the coun try. There is a feeling that the President may take a hand in the matter as soon as full Information reaches him at Oyster Bay. FREE ALCOHOL IN GERMANY American Commission learna of Great Boon to Farmers. BERLIN, July 23. The commission of Messrs. John W. Yerkes, L R. Hitt. Jr., and O. A. Crampton, of the United States internal revenue, appointed to investigate the denaturization of al cohol, has arrived here to Btudy the German alcohol fuel and lighting In dustry. Alcohol for these purposes sells at wholesale today at about 20 cents per gallon, and, probably more is used here than in any other country for cooking, illuminating and manu facturing.

Conference on Pure Food Law. WASHINGTON, July 23. The com TWO SOLDIERS SUSPECTED Colored Cavalrymen to Be Arrested for Murder of Moody. SHOSHONE! Wyo., July 23. Two col ored cavalrymen from Fort Washakie will be arrested today charged with the mur der of City Attorney Moody and the shooting of Banker Anderson here a few days ago. The authorities have learned that two soldiers who had trouble with Night Watchman McCoy were looking for the officer on the night of the murder, and it is generally believed they killed Moody by mistake. The Sheriff of Fremont County has gone to the reservation to arrest the soldiers.

A special to the Tribune from Shoshone says that Guy Anderson, one of the victims of the shooting of Saturday, will probably re cover. There are eight suspicious per sons in Jail, who will be shipped out of the city. It is believed that Warner Moody was killed by an enemy who fol lowed him from South Dakota, and not by gamblers. There is no need, the dispatch says, to call out the militia, as order has been restored. A vigilance committee was formed at Shoshone at midnight last night and will assist the authorities in suppressing vice. 'Outlaws caught will all be charged with grand larceny and tried. If quick punish ment by the courts does not clear the at mosphere, th vigilance committee may use ropes. CHINESE THREATEN STRIKE Laundrjmen Have Been Worked Too Hard Since the Fire. SAN FRANCISCO, July 23. (Special.) A strike of the Chinese laundrymen in San Francisco is threatened. The laun drymen want more money and the bosses are not disposed to grant an increase. The Chinese laundries here are controlled by two men, Lee Woon and Wing Lung. They have been rushed with work since the fire and have been unable to secure enough help, as a large number of their employes left the city at the time of the disaster. As a result those remaining in the em ploy of the laundry trust have been forced to work longer and harder than before. It is not the work that they object to, but with the reasoning of their white brothers they say "More work, more pay." In case a strike is declared, the two laundry bosses will be helpless, as they will be unable to import the coolie labor necessary to break the strike. The result may take the form of a surrender of the bosses and a raise in laundry prices. Beta Theta Psi In Session. DENVER, July 23.

At'GVSTCS HARTJE. DEFENDANT IN FAMOUS PITTSBritO DIVORCE CASE. . ,..'.....,............................ Millionaire Slakes Serious Charge in Rebuttal to Mrs. Hartje's Evi dence Robbery of Madine's : Trunk for Letters. PITTSBURG, July 13. Testimony in re buttal was begun In the Hartje divorce case when the sessions of the court were resumed today. Previous to the introduc tion of this testimony, however, Mrs. Hartje's counsel closed their case in chief. Helen Scott and the letters she is sup posed to have written to Tom Madine, the coachman corespondent, were brought forward as an issue. Fragments of the letters were declared by Ed Hartje, brother of the millionaire libellant, this afternoon to have been taken from the sweepings in Madine's room in the Hartje stable. These writings purport to show that Miss Scott gave Madine memoranda con cerning the facts to which he should tes tify at the trial. Percifer Frazier, a handwriting expert, was on the stand most of the day, and testified that the writer of the "Dear Su sie" letter, exhibit No. 8, was the same as that of the admitted "standard," which is Mrs. Hartje's. In order to clear away all doubts re garding the manner in which the famous "40" letters which have figured, in the case were obtained, the prosecution has subpenaed as witnesses Police Inspector Robert Gray, Sergeant Michael Hanley and Special Officer Patrick Golden. Han ley was on duty when Madine reported the robbery of his trunk on June 9. Golden is the officer who made the investigation.

Harrlman and Millar's Signatures Imitated and Attempt Made to . Secure Loan at Bank. NEW YORK. July 23. Discovery of a forged certificate for 60 shares of com mon stock of the Union Pacific Railroad was announced this afternoon by George W. Ely, secretary of the Stock Exchange. According to Mr. Ely. the certificate Is numbered 9658, and is dated September 14, 1905. It is in the name of Marvin K. Hanahan, bearing what purports to be the signatures of E. H. Harrlman and Alexander Millar, without official title and the seal of the Union Pacific Com pany. Mr. Ely said that It is not known whether or not there are any more forged certificates in circulation. The price of Union Pacific common stock is (147.25 per share.

The bank officials were not satisfied as to the regularity of the certificate and in quired of us about it.- They sent us a de scription of it, which convinced us that it was spurious. Wa so notified the bank. However, while we were In correspondence with the Western people, the man who wanted the loan withdrew the certificate. SALMON RUN ON INCREASE Returns Are Expected From Fry lie leased in 1901-3. ASTORIA, Or., July 23. (Special.) The largest run of salmon of the present sea son Is now entering the Columbia River, and . the deliveries at the cold-storage plants and canneries showed quite an in crease. A number of venturesome fisher men went outside this morning on the ebb tide and returned with the flood with large catches, some of them getting as high as 200 fish. The reports from points farther up the river are not so good, but the outside traps are doing fairly well and the sein ers report that their hauls are gradually increasing.' As there are 33 days of the present season still remaining there is ample time yet to put up the normal pack. ' Judging from the results attained from artificial propagation In the past, the run of salmon in the Columbia River during the present season should be the largest in years. In the year 1896 a number of salmon fry were marked at the Clackamas River hatchery and turned loose in that tributary of the Columbia. Records kept of those marked fish, ' when caught, showed that some of them returned to the Columbia during the third, fourth and fifth years thereafter. In 1901 there were released in the waters of the Columbia River and Its tributaries 42,000,000 artificially propagated Chinook: salmon; In the year 1902 there were 66, 000,000 turned out, and in the year 1903 the number was 62,000.000, making a total of 169,000,000 Chinook salmon fry that were released in the three years from the va rious hatcheries in the Columbia River district. Returns from these should, ac cording to the theories of all salmon ex perts, be received during this season. CALF SATES IOST MAN'S LIFE Spokane Attorney Was Bent on Mur der, bnt Could Not Catch Up.
