OVERHEARS MURDERERS' TALK
Leads to Discovery of Explo

GOVERNOR AMONG DOOMED
Bom Gambler of Denver Was to
Hare Been First to Die and
Terror Reduces Him to
Nervous Wreck.
DENVER, Colo., Oct. 7. (Special.)
That Governor Buchtel, David H. Mof
fat, banker, C. B. Kountze. Lawrence
Phtpps. the steel man, and Edward
Chase, king of the Denver gambling
syndicate, were doomed to die at the
hands of dynamiters was the astonishing
discovery made by accident late last
night and reported to the police In time
to prevent the killing of Mr. Chase and
his family.
Enough of the deadly explosive was
found by the police concealed near the
Chase home to blow up the Capitol, and
It Is considered certain that, had not the
plans been heard, some members of the
most prominent families in the state
would have perished along with Mr.
Chase and his family.
Overhears Murderers' Talk.
Kemp V. Blgelow, a clerk employed
In a local book store. Is the hero of the
story, which reads like a dime novel.
Just previous to retiring for the night,
he decided to take a walk In the cool
air, and, while returning from the stroll
along Detroit street, between Sixteenth
and Seventeenth avenues, saw two men
conversing In whispers and acting sus
piciously. Dropping down behind a tree,
he crawled through the grass toward the
men, until In the stillness he could hear
their whispers. According to Mr. Blge
low. he heard this much of the conver
sation :
"We are going to get Moffat Kountxe.
Buchtel. Phlpps and Ed. Chase. We are
going to get Chase tonight. We have
the dynamite already there and I am
to meet Jim on this street now In a few
minutes and we are going there to
gether to touch her off. Jim Is In the
park and Is coming up this way. You
can "
Dynamite Found, Men Escape.
Just then the men turned, crossed tne
street and hurried down toward the
park. Blgelow "hastened In the opposite
direction toward a patrol box to catch
the nearest policeman, looking behind
long enough to see the men meet the
third companion. lie met a policeman
near the corner, told his story quickly
and the patrolman ran to Mr. Chase's
house, and the special night watchman
of the vicinity was called In.
A search was Instituted and 5S sticks
of dynamite were found near the house.
Fuse was also found near by. A bogus
package was at once fixed in the posi
tion of the genuine and half a doxen
detectives, heavily armed, were placed
In the house all night to watch for the
plotters, who failed to appear.
Mr. Chase this evening is on the verge
of collapse as the result of nervous shock
from the dynamite discovery. A suspect
was arrested tonight.
STRIKE IN SOUTH TACOMA
More Boilermakers Arrive Some of
Last Crew Will Not Work.
TACOMA, Wash.. Oct. 7. (Special.)
Another carload of 25 men to replace the
striking bollermakers is at the Northern
Pacific shops at South Tacoma, arriving
there this morning from Xew York.
Some of the first carload of SI strike
breakers refused to go to work. No
disturbances have been reported and the
strikebreakers remain within the shops
yards.
Out of the first crew which came from
Pittsburg several have gone and only
about 11 are now working as boiler
makers, the rest working as helpers.
This morning union machinists working
in the machine shops refused to work on
an engine with the newcomers.
UNION RIGHTS NOT AFFECTED
Injunction Upheld Against Sailors'
and Firemen's Pickets.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7. The United
States Circuit Court of Appeals today
decided against the Sailors' Union of
the Pacific and the Pacific Coast Marine
Firemen In their appeal against the in
junction by the Circuit Court on appli
cation of the Hammond Lumber Com
pany, which claimed it had been dam
aged to the extent of $10,000 by the
union's interference with Its vessels, a
union picket-boat crew dissuading
crews from sailing on them. It was
also stated that the unions were insol
vent and could not pay damages if
awarded. '
In appealing, the unions stated that
they were solvent, having a fund of
1160.000, and the appellee had relief in
suit for damages: that the injunction
was violative of their rights; that they
had a right to endeavor to improve
their condition, to organize for the
purpose, and to communicate their de
sires to others for that purpose.
In affirming the former Judgment
and ao making permanent the Injunc
tion, the Judges gave as their opinion
that "the solvency or insolvency of the
appellant was immaterial, as in cases
of continuing trespass the measure of
damages was difficult to ascertain,"
and that the injunction was not to re
strain the liberty of the appellants, but
to prevent lawlessness."
UNIONS WORSE THAX TRUSTS
Head of Citizens' Alliance Says
They Restrain Trade More.
BATTLE CREEK. Mich.. Oct. 7. The
convention of the National Citizens In
dustrial Association opened here today
with about 50 of the expected - 3"0 dele
gates present. President C. W. Post, of
this city, made an address strongly op
posing unions and the closed shop. He
said:
It Is manifestly a much greater restraint
of trade, annoyance, and loss to the people
for the labor trust leaders to tie up the
railroad and prevent travel and shipments
than It is for the oil trust to obtain from
railroads rebates not enjoyed by Its com
petitors, for the last is simply a peaceful
scrap between business men. We have laws
to punish these men wbo bring dlsaste loss
and suffering upon an entire community
and we must demand aotlon by our publlo
prosecuting officials In such cases. .
Mr. Post advocated the reorganization
of citizens' associations, with an arbitra
tion committee to settle industrial
troubles.

Grand. Jury to Seek
Proof of Bribery.
HENEY HOLDING HiS FIRE
Knew Jury Tampered With
and Reserved Ruef.
BURNS TALKS LIKE ORACLE
Says Honest Jury Will Convict Ford
and Sensation Is Promised.
After Ford, Calbonn Will
Be Put In Dock.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Oct. 7. Spe
clal.) The grand Jury will meet tomorrow
to Investigate the charges that have been
freely made that improper Influence were
used upon certain members of the jury
that tried Tlrey L. Ford. It is hinted
that a sensation will be sprung before the
matter is dropped. Special Agent Burns
refused to make any specific charges to
day, but said:
"Ford will be found guilty by an honest
Jury."
Earl Rogers, chief of counsel defending
Ford, came back with a charge that the
prosecution had made efforts to get
friends on- the Jury. Mr. Rogers comes
from the fiouthern part of the state,
where he" is known as "the fighting attor
ney of Los Angeles." Mr. Burns says he
will . call the bluff and will give- Mr.
Rogers a chance to go before the grand
Jury.
Francis J. Heney Is out ol the city, on
an automobile trip. He will return In
time tomorrow to conduct the investiga
tion before the grand Jury. He is abso
lutely unmoved by the failure of the
Ford Jury to agree and will place Ford
on trial again next Monday. After the
trial of Ford the prosecution will turn
Its attention to Patrick Calhoun.
The Jvror In the Ford case who stood
for acquittal have stated in interviews
that the failure of the prosecution to call
Abe Ruef to the stand influenced them
more than anything else In their de
cision. The failure of the prosecution to
call Ruef to the stand has completely
mystified the defense. Ford's attorneys
will therefore be as much in the dark
as to the plans of the prosecution in the
next trial as they were In the last.
The explanation given the widest cre
dence for the failure of Mr. Heney to
call Ruef to the stand is that the prose
cutors had a "tip" that the Jury had
been tampered with, and did not desire
to reveal any more evidence at this trial
than was necessary to prevent an ac
quittal. GETTING TOGETHER NEW JURY

bribery to connection with the Pacific
Telephone Company's Interests, appeared
before Judge Lawlor in the Superior
Court, Ford and Glass to have the dates
set for their next trials. Noticeable was
the physical appearance of Schmitz, in
contrast to that of Glass. The former
telephone magnate showed in his face
that he was bearing none of the effects
of his confinement In the county jail,
but the former mayor looked like a
travesty of himself. , His face was caved,
his hair unkempt, his beard ragged, and
small trace remained of the once robust
and magnetic personality which San
Franciscans hailed as distinguishing "the
man of the hour." In fact. Schmitz
looked like a sick as well as a broken
man.
It was the intention of Judge Lawlor
to draw an entirely new panel of some
hundreds of talesmen from among
whom to select the next bribery graft
Juries, the big Jury box for 1S)7. In
which were deposited 2400 names last
February, having been exhausted in
the Ford trial by exemptions and re

SEATTLE. Wash., Oct. 7. (Bpeclal.)
"Governor Hughes' veto of the 2-cent
railroad passenger rate bill demonstrated
to the Investigating and financial classes
of the East that he is conservative and
fearless, even though as determined in
reform aa President Roosevelt. They
know that he is safe and not? to be
swayed by popular prejudice. As a result
the Eastern financial Interests are will

for President," said Samuel Hill, son-in-law
of President James J. Hill, of the
Great Northern, today. Mr. Hill .re
turned to Seattle today from an exten
sive Eastern tour.
Where Hughes Is Strong.
"It is astonishing to note the extent of
Hughes' popularity," he continued. "The
New England States are exceedingly
strong in his favor and I found all over
the East a growing Hughes sentiment,
despite the fact that Hughes refuses to
discuss his Presidential ohances. Of
course the New Tork machine is opposed
to him. Tom Piatt will fight Hughes.
Piatt and the1 machine prefer Root, but
If Hughes becomes . a candidate he Is
very apt to carry his own state against
fne opposition.
"The popularity of Hughes in the New
England States finds a counterpart in
the Middle West, where even Uncle Joe
Cannon's refusal to treat his Presidential
boom seriously has not prevented a
widespread movement in his favor. I
talked with scores of members of Con

I do not believe that Wall street would

, . . i . ..v tn.i.j
While Daniel Guggenheim, president of
American smelting & Refining com
pany, is personally a strong admirer
and supporter of President Roosevelt,
none the less, in speaking generally
of the money situation in Wall street,
he said today that, based on personal
observation. Governor Hughes, of New
Tork, would probably get a strong
Wall-street backing in a race for the
Presidency. Mr. Guggenheim was en
thusiastic In praise of what has been
done for the country by the Roosevelt
administration.
Mr. Guggenheim says that proper
regulation of all trusts in the United
States is of vital interest to the future
of the whole country, but he is also
of the opinion that the present Sher
man law Is one under which it is ex
ceedingly difficult for honest men to
live. He states that the law officers
of the United States have investigated
the business methods of many of the
trusts all over the land, and have
found them impeccable and that action
has only been taken in thoee Instances
where the law is being clearly in
fringed. He considers that a law should be
passed under which the Interests of
both producers and consumers alike
should be safeguarded. For instance,
under the present law, a group of copper-mine
owners who are working at a
loss are guilty of an infringement of
the law if they enter Into an agree
ment to limit their output with a view
to steadying the market. This is a
suicidal policy. The owners, equally
with the general public, should be pro
tected. Mr. Guggenheim also said that many
of the large department stores, which
are such a big feature in our modern
commercial life, are sailing perilously
close to the wind. If Indeed they are
not actually breaking the present antl
trust law.
PREFERS HIS LAW PRACTICE
But Hughes Could Not Refuse the
Presidency.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. (Special.) Gov
ernor Hughes, of New York, according to
"reliable reports which have reached
Washington, has announced to 1 close
friends that he will not again be a candi
date for Governor of New York and
would not accept a nomination for Vice
President from the Republican National
Convention. . He is declared to have
stated that he was Interested principally
in his work as Governor of New York
and next in importance was his law prac
tice. It ' Is understood that no mention was
made by him of the Presidency, but word
has recently been conveyed to President
Roosevelt by highly Influential people of
the state that It would be foolish to pre
sume that Mr. Hughes would not take
this nomination. If it were tendered him.
James K. Jones, chairman of the Demo
cratic National committee during both
the Bryan campaigns, was evasive when
asked today if he had advised Mr. Bryan
not to be a candidate for the Presidency
next year. He said his advice had not
been asked on this subject and he could
not remember in his voluminous corre
spondence with Mr. Bryan ever having
uttered such a sentiment. It Is under
stood that Mr. Jones feelfl that Mr.
Bryan can well wait further develop
ments in the Democratic situation before
committing himself and that he believes
that Mr. Bryan himself has not made
up his mind on the subject yet.

WEATHER HOT BUT SHOWERS
MAKE GOOD HUNTING.
Assistant Secretary Latta Starts Out
to Find Chier, hnt Does Not Suc-ceed-Stands
Heat Well.
STAMBOUL, La., Oct. 7. Assistant
Secretary Latta started out early today
to find the President at his camp in the
wilderness and at a late hour tonight
had not returned. It is presumed that
when he arrived at the camp the Presi
dent was out on his hunt and that Sec
retary Latta found it necessary to re
main over night. He took a number of
personal letters to the President.
Except that the atmosphere Is too
humid to render physlclal exercise en
joyable, the President is having good
weather. Previous to his arrival there
had been no rain for weeks and the con
ditions were most unfavorable for hunt
ing, the breaking of the dry twigs giving
warning to the game of the approach of
its foe and the hard surface being .very
trying to the feet of the young dogs.
Indeed, some of the dogs the President
is using were so disabled recently by
this condition that they came nearly being
unfit for his use.
The President's proverbial good luck
was with him, however, In this as in
other matters. A gentle rain was falling
when he arrived at Stamboul on Sun
day and there have been two or three
showers since. None of them have been
of great duration, but they have well
served the purpose of putting the forest
in the best possible condition for both
man and beast In stalking game. . True,
the atmosphere Is steaming hot, be
tween showers, but the President is re
ported to be showing himself capable of
rising quite superior to this condition.
Indeed, so far neither rain nor heat has
been permitted to interfere with his sport.
The camp ground is well located, and
while on low land, is not In 'a swamp,
the site being comparatively dry.
Condemned as Lottery.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 7.;-The United
States Circuit Court of Appeals today
affirmed the decision of the Circuit
Court against Orland K. Fltzsimmons,
proprietor of the Cumulative Credit
Company, which was classified by the
lower court as a lottery.

PLIGHT OF PRIVATE KANE
Fonnd Guilty of Breach of Arm J
Discipline He Is Sentenced to
Prison and Ordered to Be
Dishonorably Discharged.'
VANCOUVER, Wash., Oct. T. (Spe
cial.) Because he made a mistake in
glvjng medicine to a patient in the hos
pital. Private Fred Kane, hospital
corps, who had chosen the army life
as a life profession and by hard work
and strict attention to duty, had
worked himself up to a high place in
the ranks, must spend a year in prison
and at the end of that time must re
celve his dishonorable discharge.
Through one mlBtake his hopes are
blasted and his reputation gone.
Kane was ward master in the mili
tary hospital, and his duty was to ad
minister medicine to the patients in
his ward. One of the men under his
care was Jaklmas Szelezas. On the
table at the head of hl bed were two
packages, one containing sodll saltcylas
and the other corrosive sublimate. The
first was to be given the man as med
icine and the other was to be used as
a' disinfectant. It was brought out
at the trial of Kane that somebody was
guilty of gross carelessness in leaving
the poison there. Kane, in giving ths
medicine, got the wrong package and
administered four gtfalyVof the rank
poison, from which tezzas died four
dayB later.
Greely Lessens Sentence.
For this mistake Kane was charged
by 'the Judge Advocate, after consid
erable investigation, with criminal
carelessness and disobedience of or
ders. He was found guilty by the
court, but Instead of disobedience of
orders, the findings were changed to
failure to obey. The sentence was fixed
at three years of hard labor and
dishonorable discharge.
The case then passed to the review
ing authority. General Greely, who
found that Kane was not entirely to
blame and mitigated the sentence to
one year's Imprisonment. The court
said. In passing sentence:
"In view of the lamentably defect
ive system in the management of the
dispensary at Vancouver Barracks,
Washington, where the offense was
committed, particularly aa to the label
ing and delivering of medical pre
scriptions, the term of confinement is
reduced to one year.
"Although It appears from the tes
timony that the medicine prepared for
Szelezas was found in the place where
poisonous prescriptions are usually
segregated, thus confirming to a de
gree the claim, of the accused, that
the poison administered by him was -among
the non-poisonous prescrip- -.
tlons, yet the failure of the accused to
make special inquiries before admin
istering medicine from a box labeled
"poison," exhibits a degree of crimi- '
nal carelessness meriting the punish
ment fixed. As thus mitigated the sen
tence will be duly executed."
Career Is Blasted.
As a result of his fatal mistake Kane
finds himself In a lamentable position.
His life career is practically ruined,
and for a year he must occupy a felon's
cell at Alcatraz. During all the trial
not a word was said against his char
acter. He was never known to drink
and before his one careless act he en
Joyed the respect and confidence of hla
fellow soldiers and his officers.
