It was said on good authority that he went to Hancock to night on a telephonic request for a conference with Sheriff Crux, of Houghton County. The latter said that this conversation was devoted to a discussion of means for protecting tho union headquarters here and for protecting the officers of the federa tion. The Sheriff said that at no time did Moyer express any fear of depor tation nor say that he personally bad been the recipient of threats.

Every bereaved household that was ap proached told the men and women in charge of the distribution that ade quate aid had been promised by the Western Federation of Miners, and that no other assistance was wanted. Members of the relief committee selected at yesterday's mass meeting blamed this unprecedented condition on the rumor that the man who started the panic among the children of the striking copper miners wore m blem of the Cltixens' Alliance, an or ganisation said to be opposed to the strikers.

Bryan and Williams have been close personal and political friends, but Williams has not been famous for his enthusiasm for Woodrow Wilson.

I venture to say that a few millions of Democrats who 'live remote from the seats of trade and know nothing of the laws.' have a right to ask whether Mr. Wilson, as their President, would apply such conceptions of fi nance to Senator Aldrich's currency measure, which is becoming a political issue, if a half -million-dollar campaign fund can make it an issue.
