us the system, "known as the segrega
tion and finding of vice." Demand Is
made that those who rent property for
vicious purposes be ostracized by society,
es well as punished by law.

ment of the liquor traffic through inter
state commerce, and demand is made

polygamy in all sections under the
jurisdiction of the United States.

CASTRO READY TO FIGHT
Declines to Kevoke Decree and Im

CARACAS. Venesuela. Oct. 2". via
Willemstad. Curacao. Oct. SK. President
Castro, in h:s answer to the second
Netherlands note, has declined to revoke
his decree of May 14, prohibiting the
trans-shipment of goods for Venezuelan
ports at Curacao, which has been so
obnoxious to the people of that island.
This answer was maa September 12.
The President expressed surprise that
The Netherlands government should ask
for the revocation of tnis decree after
acknowledging Venezuela's right to issue
It. Continuing, he asks The Netherlands
to send a confidential agent to Caracas to
arrange the ferms of an amicable settle
ment of the difficulties between the two
governments.
The chief of the artillery branch of the
Venezuelan army has completed tiie
preparations for the defense of La Gual
ra. In anticipation of a naval demon
stration by Holland before that port on
November 1, shells have been distributed
to all the modern guns installed in the
forts on the mountain side above J-

WIT.I.EMSTAD, Oct. 2. According
to letters received here, the people of
Venezuela are confident of a prompt
settlement of the dispute between that
country and Holland. The refusal of
President Castro to revokfe the decree
of May 14 is regarded as a bluff to dis
tract attention from the doings of the
revolutionists.
MINERS H ORE GflCHEO
TOXAPAH IX Fl'RORE OVER
SENSATIONAL ARRESTS.
Men Held Vp at Point or Guns as
They Came I-rtm Shaft
and Searched.
RESO. Nev.. Oct. 26. (Special.) The
arrest of four men, alleged high-graders.
In a most spectacular fashion, took
place at 2:30 o'clock in the morning
at the MacNamara mine, in Tonopah,
and as a result the whole town is in a
furore. The men arrested are: Will
iam Turner, vice-president of the To
nopah Mipers' Union: Tom Conlfrey,
Tom Cunningham and Pat Flanlgan.
A posse of Mine Operators' Associa
tion engineered the capture. It is stat
ed that the whole crew of the mine
coming off shift at 2:30 was held up
and every man forced to undergo a
search at the point of a dozen stuns.
Just four men in the party were sus
pected of high-grading, it is said, but
to make a clean sweep all were
searched, and as it happened high-grade
was found on the persons of the first
four. The main contention of the Min
ers' Union during the recent hard-fought
strikes in the Southern Nevada mining
district was that no mine inspectors or
guards should be employed except from
their own ranks. The mine operators
claimed the rich ore was too much of a
temptation to the men.

ommended a machine gun company for

the President will probably recommend
that such a service be inaugurated.

AGREES TO CONFERENCE
But Tells Russia All Powers Must
Agree Beforehand on Programme.
Proposals In Turkey's Inter
est are Adopted.
BERLIN, Oct. 26. A semi-official
news agency summarizes the results of
the conferences which have been going
on between M. Iswolsky. Russian For
eign Minister, and Prince von Buelow,
the Imperial Chancellor, and Herr von
Schoen, Minister for Foreign Affairs,
as follows:
The German government has no
objection in principle to the proposed
International congress to discuss the
Balkan situation. The German and
Russian governments recognize the fact
that a conference of the powers can
prove useful only if a complete agree
ment among all the signatories of the
Berlin treaty respecting the scope and
contents of the programme to be sub
mitted to the conference be attained
beforehand.
"The German government adheres to
tho standpoint that it will be unable to
accept the proposals to which Austria
Hungary raises objections. These con
tentions will be subject to further ne
gotiations. "A complete agreement, however, was
reached on other points in the draft
of the programme, particularly those
referring to the proposals in the inter
est of Turkey. Both governments will
continue their efforts to find a peace
ful and just solution of the present
difficulties. '

for Access to Sea.
LONDON. Oct. 26. The British gov

In the direct negotiations between
Austria-Hungary and Turkey and

government smooth the way to a gen
eral settlement.
Although there has been no change
In the situation, the tendency of dip
lomatic activity is toward peace.
Pervia remains the danger-point and
the visit of the Servian crown prince
to St. Petersburg arouses a certain
amount of apprehension in the ab
sence of actual knowledge as to
whether he Is , going on a matrimonial
errand or a diplomatic mission to the
Emperor or has merely been sent by
King Peter to put an end to his dan
gerous situation. The prince is ac
companied by"M. Pachitch. the Servian
premier, and in an interview, while
passing through Budapest, the premier
said that the prince's mission was to
persuade the Russian Emperor to in
tervene against the anexation of Bos
nia and Herzegovina. He added that
he expected good results for Servla.
Only a few days ago the crowd
prince declared that, though he was
no firebrand and desired peace with
his whole heart, the question of hav
ing access to the sea was a matter of
life or death for Servla and she was
prepared to fight if abandoned by the
powers.
It is reported from both Vienna and
Constantinople that direct negotia
tions between Austria and Turkey will
be resumed.

GOMPERS HITS HARD
Says President Has Made
Awful Descent of Dignity.
NONE DECEIVED, HE SAYS
Labor Leader Scores Roosevelt Hard
for Latter's Letter to Knox.
Charges Executive Has
Changed Front.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. Replying to
President Roosevelt's letter to Senator
Knox- in reference to the application ot
the writ of injunction in labor' disputes.
Samuel Gompers, president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, in a statement
issued today, severely arraigns the .Pres
ident for what he terms & "change of
position of at least apparent friendship
to bitter, indefensible antagonism."
In opening his statement Mr. Gompers
declares that although he has often in
the past discussed with the President
fundamental questions of right. Justice
and moral uplift, Included in such dis
cussions being the use and abuse of court
injunctions, he has never until the Is
suance of the letter to Senator Knox
heard the President even hint that the
measures advocated by Gompers and his
fellows were "lawless, unfeeling, brutal
or wicked," and this despite the fact that
the President well knew what measures
were being advocated.
Mr. Gompers then declares that Presi
dent Roosevelt makes a "direct and spe
cific attack upon labor" in his letter to
Senator Knox, and says that the cause
of this attack is to be found in the fad
that the labor element is aroused and
determined to deliver its own vote, which
has led the President to what is charac
terized as "the worst exhibition of dem
agogism" and display of "Impotent rage
and di-Ppointment and an awful descent
from the dignity of the high office of
the President of th . United States."
"No one," said Mr. Gompers. "will be
deceived as to the purpose of Mr. Roose
velt." Continuing, the statement bitterly re
sents the words and actions of the Presi
dent in support of the Republican candi
date, to whom Mr. Gompers refers
throughout as "Injunction Judge Taft."
"If tho courts have not invaded human
liberty, if they have not undertaken to
protect corporate interests to the detri
ment of the people," asks Mr. Gompers,
"why did President Roosevelt character
ize Judge Grosscup's reversal of Judge
Landis' twenty-nine million dollar fine
upon the Standard Oil Trust as 'a gross
miscarriage of justice'?"
Mr.- Gompers then declares that labor
does not ask the abolition of the injunc
tion process, but only its restoration to
the use from which "ft has been ruth
lessly diverted."
Referring to the Pearre injunction bill,
which Mr. Roosevelt attacks. Mr. Gom
pers says that it has been before several
Congresses, "without a word of criticism
or comment from him," and of the inti
mation made by the President that Mr.

Mitchell and other labor leaders did not
advocate the Pearre and Wilson Injunc
tion bills, he says: "John Mitchell.
Frank Morrison and I are now on trial
to show cause why we should not be
sent to Jail because we exercised our
constitutional rights, having violated no
law of state or Nation. Will the Presi
dent publicly Justify Justice Gould's In
junction and the contempt proceedings to
send Mitchell, Morrison and me to jail
on the grounds for contempt which are
put forward by the Bucks Stove Com
pany under that injunction? The injunc
tion of Judge Gould is based upon in
junctions issued by Judge Taft, and
Judge Tafts language is quoted by Jus
tice Gould?"
Concluding. Mr. Gompers says:
"It is the purpose of opponents of labor
to vilify the labor movement through me,
and President Roosevelt now Joins the
chorus upon the pretext that I have at
tacked the Federal courts. As a man and
a citizen, I have nothing to retract; but
I Insist that despite great provocation I
have always expressed my views and
criticisms perhaps in strong yet in re
spectful language."
OHIO LABOR VOTE DIVIDED
Members of Some Organizations,
However, Solid for Taft.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 26. T. J.
Dolan, president of the International
Brotherhood of Steamshovel Men and
Drillers, called upon President Roose
velt today and talked with him re
garding the political situation.
Mr. Dolan has just returned from a
trip through Indiana, Ohio and New
York, and he told the President that
as a result of his observation and from
reports of several organizers of the
brotherhood, the labor vote seemed to
be pretty evenly divided. The men. he
said, were not expressing themselves
to any extent and it was hard to learn
just where they stood. He reported
that most of the men In his brother
hood were with Judge Taft. because
they always found that he treated
them squarely when they asked any
thing that was right.
Indorses Gompers' Action.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 26. A resolution
was adopted by the Central Labor Union
of Washington at a special meeting here
tonight reaffirming previous action in

the reply of Mr. Gompers, Secretary
Loeb authorized tjie following statement:

dent's correspondence with him about

THE CHOICE OF A PIANO;
' WHY- A CKICKERH
F.mlllo de Gorgosa,
As during his triumphal tour of sev

famed baritone, again requests and wiil
be furnished the use of the Chickerlns

Chtckering & Sons, for his concert at the
Heilig Tiieater, Thursday evening, Oc
tober 2th.
Without talcing Into account many
minor considerations that may entw
the minds of purchasers of pianos, one
must be mentioned as a 11 -Important :
discrimination between power and
quality of tone. A Judicious decision
on this point is desirable wnen the In
strument Is intended for tiie concert
hall; when it Is to adorn the drawing
room, a right conclusion Is still more
urgent. Quality of tone is. in fact, th
great desideratum. This, once the pro
duction f pine tone attained through
perfect mechanism, is wholly the out
come of absolute evenness throughout
the registers of the instrument. N"
one of these should overbalance the
others, the dynamic force of each be
ing kept In slrii t proportion, so that
hass. medium and treble can he regard
ed not .is tbree divisions of a voice,
but as one faultless ngan. whereof
the manv-hiied tones blend by imper
ceptible gr.-:. la lions. Tiie loveliest
voices of the age are distinguished
above all others by this characteristic
excellence: perfect evenness througa
out their compass. It is this evenness,
coupled with purity of vocnl emission
corresponding with the mechanically
produced tone already referred to. that
endows the perfect piano as well as
the perfect unman voice with its sing
ing tone and carrying power.
Phlckerlng ; Sons claim for the
Chickering VMano the very excellences
here set forth as lo be prized sbove
all others; thev make move even anil
perfeot scales than are attained in any
other Instrument, and the exquisite
singing quality is more fully developed
In the Cni-kering Piano than in any
of its rivals. Just as diamond dealers
of reuute challenge criticism of their
gems by direct, coninarison with others,
'bickering & Sons fnvlte comparison of
their pianos with those of other mak
ers and are desirous of having them
judged wliollv upon their merits. This
crucial test of the Chickering Piano
