that the enterprise carries with it the
sanction of the local labor organizations.
It' is through these misrepresentations
that organized labor of this city has been

their patronage in this particular only to

of its covering. His actions wers ob
served by the proprietor of the pawn
shop. Maloney broke into a run with
all the speed his age would permit.

Young Theodore Roosevelt's
Fiancee Against Suffrage.
ANXIOUS TO SEE COLONEL
Frankly Acknowledges She Is Wor
ried' Ahout Impression She Will
Make Attracted to Son Be
cause Brilliant and Musical.
NEW YORK, Feb. 18. (Special.) She
Is not interested in suffrage; she does
not care for the limelight of publicity
that her newly -acquired position has
given her; she is just t sweet, "homej-"
girl Miss Eleanor Alexander, the young
woman to whom Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.,
has become engaged.
The roses bloom brightly in her cheeks
these days, when she Is called upon to
talk so much about herself and to appear
so much in the pose of a woman in the
public eye. She frankly does not like
it all. and would much rather remain
quietly at home, waiting for the end of
the day's work, when her fiance shall leave
his job in the carpet mills, where he is
learning the business, and come to her.
Because the family she is soon to enter
has no fear of the power of the press nor
of being interviewed, she is learning to
stand before the trying ordeal of report
ers and newspaper photographers, and
she acquits herself right well. She has
much natural dignity and poise and the
charm of good breeding is here.
Very charmingly she tells of the ro
mance that brought her and the son of
the illustrious ex-President together.
"I liked him first. I think," she said,
"because he is so brilliant. . Then our
music brought us together a great deal.
He is fond of music and I love to play
my violin."
-Miss Alexander Is anxiously awaiting
the return of Colonel Roosevelt in Sum
mer. She says she will go down the bay
to rflbet him and Is more than a little
worried about the impression she will
make on him. "I want so much for him
to like me," she says.
Miss Alexander is 21 years old and
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., will be 23 on
September 13 next. She is very good
looking and he is tall, well-built and
handsome. He greatly resembles his
father in many respects, for he Is fond
of outdoor exercise and has the same
vigorous temperament.
MOVING PICTURES SLAY
Man In Audience Throws t."p" Hands
r and Expires.
NEW YORK, Feb. 18. Moving pic
ture realism resulted in the death of
John Holeomb; a clerk, Brooklyn, who
dropped dead in the Columbia Theater
while "The Great Train Robbery" was
being shown on the canvas.
Holeomb had a see.t near the stage,
and seemed to be very much wrought up
by the pictures. In the scene where a
locomotive drawing a train speeds head
on toward the spectators, and is appar
ently about to dash into the auditorium,
Holeomb threw up his hands, uttered a
shriek, and toppled over into the aisle.
He was dead when an ambulance ar

HEREFORD, Cal., Feb. 18. In Harry
Hlestand's chicken-yard is a Plymouth
Rock rooster with fighting qualities In
him that surprised Hiestand. who saw
his fowl battle with a three-foot snake.
The snake was, holding the rooster's
comb with bulldog tenacity, but the roos

erated his -wings like a flying machine,
and by the time Mr. Heistand came upon
the scene had the snake stretched on
the ground.
Hiestand jabbed down a manure fork
and finished the snake.
The rooster Is little the worse for the
fight, although his comb is swollen and
he lost half of his wing feather in the

AND HI& FIANCEE.
If
, v
trial situation In Butte today remains
virtually unchanged. A committee rep
resenting the Butte millmen and smel
termen waited on A. H. Wethey, man
ager of the'Clark properties, today and
notified him that the employes of the
mills and smelters would not work with
the old engineers, and that they
expected the companies to fulfill the
terms of their contract. They agree to
furnish oilers and such other men as
are included in their organization.
A committee from the old Engineers
Union, No. 83; notified Manager Wethey
they they were prepared to furnish en
gineers for the smelter if the company
so desired. The management, however,
is of the opinion that as ore supplies
cannot now be obtained, it would be
useless to attempt to resume opera
tions at the reduction works.

JAPAN SUBMITS TO DEMANDS
Policing of Manchurian Line Won't.
Cause MJkado's Protest.
TOKIO, Feb. 18. China is taking steps
to police the line of the Antung-Mukden
Railway with her own men and for this
purpose sent in several hundred Chinese
soldiers and police. This was commented
upon by the Japanese newspapers, 'as
somewhat arbitrary action, in view of
the agreement between Japan and China
and the fact that, under this agreement,
the question of the policing of the route
was left open for further consideration.
However, Japanese officials state that
the authorities have no intention of mak
ing any protest or any objections so long
as the required protection is afforded by,
Chinese authorities.
When the railroad has been reconstruct
ed and the actual carriage of freight
commences between Japan and the Si
berian railroad by this route, the ques
tion of policing may or may not become
serious; meanwhile the Japanese are
content to work uniier the protection of
the Chinese authorities and Japan rec
ognizes China's sovereign rights upon the
soil. - .
