Friday; Say Laws forin

inir men w carry tncir ngm
ssainst Balllnger ond th 'Interests"' to
congress. They seek revision or tn
mining- laws tliat will oust the Guggen
hrlms from Alaska arid open top the Coal
deposits to their legitimate develop
ment. To make it Impossible for corpo
rate interests to take up and hold big
tracta of mineral land is another pur
pose. To'' depose Balllnger. alleged rep
resentative apd champion of tha "inter
ests," is the most cherished Weal of all.
"The- reason the coal lands of Alaska
have not been opened up is because the
ruggpheim have been v hoping by
trickery to get thera i alV declared a
mining engineer"of national prominence
while in Portland yesterday: "They be
lieve that though the finger of suspicion
has .been - pointed .toward .their , man,
Balllnger; and although the voice of
accusation has been heard against him",
they will : yet aueceed - in keeping
control at the untold wealth obtained in
the. undeveloped mineral lands of the
United States and Alaska.
And when you '!: look the situation
over, it is to realise that the "big Inter
ests' have not been scratched. Balllnger,
whom many of the miners of this coun
try believe to be the Guggenhetms'- hired
man, has been getting somo body blows,
but has the seat of privilege yet. been
nhaken? ' We expect to revise the min
ing laws so as to strike at privilege
mid thtj, conditions that permit privi
lege; more than1' to strike at the types
and representatives and champions of
privilege. '
' The rnlning laws of this country are
in such a confused condition today that
they are worthless save to the interests.
They permit a gobbling up of, the min
eral lands by the big fellows, and the
small miners, the men who would de
velop . legitimately the mines, are
crowded out. The Interests expect to
possess the mineral lands and turn all
the profits Into their own pockets. The
smaller miners would , pay a, proper
price for what they get and the people
of the nation would receive the bene-
nts. ' .- ;.:
The proposed revision of . mining
laws will have a, place in the history
of the nation as a part of the long fight
against privilege. Xf we are success
ful It will mean that coal and copper
and pther minerals will ba supplied to
the people at reasonable prices, and we
will all prosper together. As It li now,
the interests are permitted by the mm
1ng laws to prosper and Id hold the min
eral lands, while the legitimate miners
are crowded out."

Vancouver, Wash., Oct. 5. Aitnougn
charges brought against Vancouver po
licemen by 'Willie Daake, 15 years old
and half-witted, who accuses th'em-of
stretching him by the neck to wring a
confession from him, were Quashed at a
secret inquiry' held by- the mayor- and
police committee of the city council with
the simple verdict of "nothing doing,"
no testimony was taken from Miss Belle
Carty and her sister who heard two of
ficers berating the boy. s The. fact that
the boy's father was refuse permission
tobe present at the inquiry and that
no attorney represented him, has been
published. -
With adverse criticism directed to
ward tbe'm because of the high handed
manner In which , the inquiry was held,
oity officials were compelled today to
face "reports , of two burglaries com
mits Saturday night in residence neigh
borhoods, the . manner of which indi
cates they were committed by the same
thief or thieves, that robbed the Presby
terian manse, which Willie' Daake is ac
cused of having looted. ri i
' Ho' Svldeaoe.
With 'practically no evidence against
the boy but his confession, which he
says was forced from him by fear of
death, and with other burglaries occur
ring as frequently as before the boy's
arrest, the police find themselves un
favorably regarded by the publlo, k
Saturday ntghtrbatween 8' o'clock and
19 o'clock, the home of J5H. Gray,' Nine
teenth and Main streets, was entered by
burglars, who are . supposed to -. have
gained entrance through a window, and,
a - qui giass dowi, several articles of
lawelry, embroidered linen and a gold
watch taken. As . in the Presbyterian
manse, only the best of everything was
talcon, .washed gold pins and cheaper
ornaments being discarded .? Trunks,
suitcases, burc&u drawers and every re
ceptacle that might have contained val
uables, were ransacked, as was done in
the Presbyterian- manse. . !
At about the same Ume on the same
night the home of Jay Teffipleton,. Nine
teenth and Washington streets, was
ransacked. Nothing of great value was
taken,- for the thieves were evidently
frightened way before completing their
search. ' The same methods were used
as were employed by -the robbers who
entered the Presbyterian manse and the
home. of the Gays. ,
'" f righting Alderman": Busy. -v
Councilman DuBois, the "fighting al
derman" of Vancouver, is making aa in.
vesttgatlon of the affair today. He said
he wanted to know if the facts Justified
the placing of the matter before the
city council and of his demanding a
public hearing. He will IntervleV the
boy and .will confer with the jnaydf and
city councilmen who form the police
committee. -He said that if the charges
were true, he would take up the cause
of the boy with fervor, and would see
to it that the members of the police
force upon whom rested the stigma of
brutality, were discharged.
Mayor John P. Klgglns said today
that he did not know the investigation
Thursday night was a seoret Inquiry,
although he was present and acted aa
one of the examiners. He said he did
not know that newspaper reporters were
refused admission, arid did . not know
that William Daake, the aged father. of
the boy, applied at the door for admit
tsnce and was turned away. His state
ment, therefore, would indicate that tho
police, although under, investigation, had
full charge of the meeting and con
ducted it to .suit themselves,

Decatur, Ala., Oct 8. The case of
.Bob Clemmons, who is charged with the
. murder .of the Edmo'ndson family, came
up for its second trial' today in the
Morgan county court. The -ease is one
of the most mysterious with which the
, courts' of this county have ever had to
deal and the crime Itself one of the
most horrible in the criminal annals of
Alabama. ,
. The victims of - the tragedy, which
Occurred, more than a year ago, - were
Tom Edmondson, his aged mother, his
wife "and -two children. .. The seen. of
the rrime wan the home of the Edmond
" sons' at Woodland" Mills; ' this county.
The home and barn were burred and in
their ruins were found parts of the re
mains of Edmondson's wife and two
children, but not the slightest trace of
Edmondson o.r his mother has ever been
foundf which fact .has led to a suppo
sition' that Edmondson himself might
have been the murderer and that he and
his sged mother escaped alive.
On the other hand, etronic , circum
.Ktanlal evidence polntedto Bob Clam
"nions as - the- murderer. Immediately
" after the discovery of tho crimes Clem
mons was taken into custody and has
been confined in Jail here ever ainoe.
At his first trial he was convicted arid
- sentenced to imprisonment for life.. An
njSpeal wa taken to the supreme couTt

and remanded the case for another trial.
