GOLDFIELD MISERS
imm fiii
Declare They Will Not Submit
to Proposed Action of the
Mine Operators.
LEADER WOULD FAVOR
IGNORING INJUNCTION
Expectation Is That Governor
Sparks Will Call Extra Ses
, sion of Legislature.
GOLrDFJ 13LD, Nev.. Dec. 2G. Lato this
afternoon officials of the Mlneni" union
and C. B. Mahonoy, vice-president of the
Western Fcdoratlon, who is hero to ef
fect a settlement of the strike, learned
of the plan of the Mine Owners of Gold
field to obtain an injunction through tho
Federal courts preventing picketing and
bringing about the dissolution of tho
Gold field Miners' union.
Asked tonight what the cause of tho
miners would be In face of this latest
move of the opposition, Maloney Raid :
"An InjunctloiT ot this kind, if issued,
will mean that thcro Is nothing left for
the miners to do but to go Jump Into
the .sea. Had tho petition been for a
writ restraining tho miners from picket
ing or boycotting. 1 would not have been
surprised. In tho bill of complaint, how
ever, as I undorstnnd 1U thorn are two
new points: One. the prayer for an or
der of the Fedora! court prohibiting the
miners from continuing their organization
on the ground thai It Is a nuisance, the
other point that Is new Is that Goldtleld
Miners' union be dissolved. Any Judge
and set of men who fancy that the Gold
field miners will tamely submit to siu-h
procedure are greatly mistaken. I would
favor Ignoring any such order from any
court in existence. Injunctions have oome
to be a mere Joke to the American people,
and this one would be the biggest Joko
of all. We shall tight it with every
weapon at our disposal. There would be
nothing else for us to do.
May Add Fuel to Flames.
"I assume that the wjitchers or exam
iners suggested In the bill of complnlnt
means deputy United States marshals.
These would tend to embitter the ele
ments to this controversy more than Fed
eral troops."
Charles S. McKlnnon of the local
union declared the union would fight such
an Injunction.
Residents of Goldfield are expecting to
hear at any moment that Governor
Sparks has decided to call an extra ses
sion of tho Legislature to adopt new laws
looking to the organization of a body of
State rangers or police to preserve law
and order in case of trouble over tho
outcome of the dispute which now threat
ens to he long drawn out.
HOLDING CONVENTION
Special to The Tribune.
BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 26. The Tdaho
State Teachers' association convened

line of tho Albion normal, and presi
dent of the state association, is iu tho
city and is doing all possible to make

Another row is on among state ofli
cors. Recently tho Htato board of ex
aminers allowed a bill of the Pinkerton
Dotectivo agency for .$271.20 for serv
ices rendered in the "Western Federation
of Miners' cases, but the state auditor
has dcclinod to pay the same, holding
that it is irregular. Other similar
claims in those- cases were allowed by
tho board, but the auditor refused to
par them.

bore today formally voted to curtail pro
duction 25 per cent be-tween now and
March 1 In order to relieve conditions
in the cloth markets of Now York. Chl
cngo. Boston, and other largo cenlcin. It
was stated several days ago that a coin
mllLoe previously nppolntcd by the club

the success of the curlallmnnL plan, and
that a restriction of production was
regarded as a certainty.

ploy about 1 So. 000 persons under normal
condtlons. and It Is expected that a least

FARM DECIDE 10
GALL OFF-ALL JEM
Final Meeting of Committee in
Smelter Controversy Agrees
With Utah Con.
i
That there will be no more efforts to
induco the Utah Con. to pay a bonus for
the operation of Its Highland Boy smel
ter, at Murray, was decided Thursday at
a final mooting of tho committee, which
has represented tho fanners of Salt Lake
vallev In the legal battle with the East
ern owners of the smelter. This action
followed closely upon the conclusion of
the company to shut down the smelter
when the United States Supremo Court,
which recently denied lis petition for a
writ of certiorari. Issues an order to close
operations, probably January S.
The action of the farmers was ex
plained by John C. Maekay of the com
mittee, who said that after the smelter
people had Ignored tho farmers' propo
sition of a bonus of $125,000, which was
prostnted as an ultimatum, and tho np
pllcntlon for a writ of certiorari had been
denied by the Supremo Court, tho com
mitter) concluded It had no power to ne
gotiate further with the smelter owners.
Inasmuch as nil propositions made had
expressly provided that the application
for tho wilt should be withdrawn. This
Information, ho explained, was conveyed
to Mr. Van Cott, tho representative of
tho Utah Con.
Mr. Van Cott. he Raid, subsequently
called O. P. Miller of tho committee, who
informed the smelter representative that
all negotiations were off. A meeting of
the committee was called Thursday at A
o'clock-, and It was ununlniously decided
that the verdict of the Supremo Court
In denying the petition for a writ of cer
tiorari should be enforced and tho smel
ter forced to clone down.
Mr. Mackay avorrcd that the Utah Con.
had been awaro of the decision of Judgo
Marshall for fifteen month?, during which
time a new plant could hnvo been erect
ed, and that It had made no effort to
relievo tho condition at Murray. He said
his constituents hnd bjeti patient, and
had sacrificed their homes and orchards,
and. In some Instances, lives, because o
the fumes from tho smelter. This, he
thought, was enough, and he dcolurcd
that the negotiations were absolutely at
an end.

FINO SMALLPOX II
emoniE cm
Three Cases Are Discovered in
Elko Hotel, on Main
Street.
PLACE IS PUT UNDER
RIGID QUARANTINE
Heroic Measures Are Adopted to
Prevent Dread Disease Be
coming Malignant.
Smallpox has broken out In the heart
of the city. TJiree cases were discov
ered at tho Elko hotel, 273 South Main
streot, Thursday, and the placo is under
quarantine. The Green River saloon. 277
South Main street, ndjolnlng the hotel, Is
under quarantine, al?o.
The three cases are Mr. and Mrs. J.
Hanson and C. F. Mogle. operator for tho
San Pedro railway. Mrs. Hanson's case
Is mild, and she la almost over the dis
ease. Hanson's case Is serious, pock
marks showing all over his body, but his
condition Is not alarming. Both wero
removed to the Isolation hospital Thurs
day evening.
Mogle Is 'seriously 111 and, on account
of tho Inclement weather and the bad
roads, the authorities feared to remove
hlpi to tho hospital Thursday night. He
will be taken thorc Friday morning.
Quarantine Established.
The alarm was first reported to tho
police department, which notified Dr. S.
G. Paul, assistant health commissioner,
who placed the hotel under quarantine,
fumigated each room and each lodgers
clothing, with the assistance of James
Emmet Flynn. quarantine Inspector, and
Sterling C. Evans, city fumlgntor. and
vaccinated every person connected with
the hotel who hnd not been recently vac
cinated. Those who have boon vlcclnat
cd within a reasonable length of time
were not disturbed.
The guests at the hotel at the time
the disease was discovered numbered
about sixty, of which about forty-five
had been vaccinated recently. Their
rooms and clothes wore thoroughly fumi
gated and they were allowed to go. Tho
others were allowed to leave the place
after they had been vaccinated atul their
clothes fumigated.
As soon as the disease was discovered
thcro was n scurry by several guests to
leavo the place, but the police depart
ment promptly responded to Dr. Paul's
call for three policemen as guards, and
It Is thought no ono escaped without vac
cination and fumlgatle-n. .
One malo guegt. big In stature, whose
name the authorities did not learn, re
fused to submit to vaccination, and Dr.
Paul had to call in Policeman Curran to
subdue him. Tho man then gavo in and
was vacclnRled. Three or four guests
wero picked up on the streets trying to
evade tho authorities, returned to the
hotel and vaccinated, If necessary. Tvolr
clothes wero alFO fumigated.
The epidemic Is thought to have been
brought here from Spokane, wlwre many
ensos aro reported, by Hanson and his
wife, who came to Salt Lako from thcro
recently. Hanson worked as barkeeper
at the Green River saloon, while his wife i
did chambermaid work at the hotel. Both
roomed at the hotel. Hanson's caso was
tho first discovered. He was attending
to Ins duties, hence the necessity for the
quarantining of tho saloon. Tho report
of his cape developed the cases of his
wife and Mogle.
No Causo for Alarm.
The fact that Mrs. Hanson, as cham
bermaid, visited every room in the ho
tel, makes the spread of the epidemic
more difficult to combat, but Dr. Paul
said Thursday night that every precau
tion to keep tho disease from spreading
has been taken, and there Is no cause for
alarm. The hold was closed Thursday
night, no one being allowed to pass out
or enter except with the consent of the
police on guard, and the rooms and
clothing of the occupants will be thor
oughly fumigated again Friday, before
the quarantine Is raised. In following
this courso tho danger from the disease
spreading has boon reduced to a mini
mum, Dr. Paul asserts. He consldors
tho method of treating the case adopted
safer than to have held all tho guests In
the hotel until tho epidemic could be
stamped out.
Nearly all the guests of tho Elko sought
lodging elsewhere Thursday night, but
some had trouble In obtaining rooms
when It was learned whero they wcro
from.

NEWARK, N. J., Dec. 26. Murder,
combining the elements ot mystery and JA
deliberate cruelty was committed in
Ilackcnsack meadow, in tho town of
Harrison, early today, and the nudo
body of the victim, a comely woman o VA
perhaps .10 years, was found nearly
submerged in the icy waters of n litilo IH
pond. Only tho feet projected when IH
chance passersby broke the ice in which
the exposed portions were incrustcd and
dragged the body ashore this afternoon.
Tho dead woman was finely featured;
her hair and nails gave evidence of a fl
recent and scrupulous toilet, and such
of hor clothing as was subsequently jH
found suggested in tcxturo and style , IH
an owner of rofinemcnt rather than ono IH
whose habits might lead her to ire- fl
qucnt the vicinity of the crime. Tho
pond in which the body was thrown
is made by the overflow from the Pas
saic river, and is directly acrbss the jH
river from this city. IH
Victim Not Identified.
The body had not been identified to- jH
night, and it was pretty well estab
lished that it was not that of a resident
of this city or Harrison. Its descrip
tion docs not correspond with that of
any woman reported to tho, police as
missing. Two men who occupied a yacht
moored near where the body was found
are detained by tho police, but tho
most important clue obtained was fur
nished tonight by Peter Coogan, a IH
watchman employed by the Marine En- IH
ginc company, who recognized the bodv
as that of a woman whom he had seen
crossing the meadows in company with
a, man oarJy today. Laler ho saw the
man alone. He then carried a bundle in ,

neighborhood of the murder, told, the
police: Two Vague Clues.
"While outdoors at 2 o'clock this
morning I saw this woman in compauv
with ti man cross tho meadows, going
in the direction of the pond. Thev IH

recognize tho woman's features. Somo IH
time later, perhaps an hour, the man

going in tho direction from which
the two had come when I first saw
them. This time the man was alone.
In his arms he carried bundle which
ho had not had before. In build ho
was short and thick-set.'
Coogan could not give a better do
scription of the man. Two girls re
turning to their homo in Harrison long
after midnight this morning henrd a
woman's cry floating over the marsh
land. They seemed to come from tho
direction of the pond and to tho star
tied girls sounded like ''Spare mc" and
"Ilofp!"'
Nearer homo the girls were ap
proached by a well-dressed stranger,
who accosted and followed thorn until
a policeman was met, wheu ho turned
and fled. The girls had a good viow LH

"Was Strangled to Death.
Life was extinct, the Coroner savs,
about ten hours when the body was
found. A mark on the neck indicated
that strangulation was tho manner cl'

of silk garters. Following the path.
tho police came upon the yacht Idle
Hour, which was tied up at a point . IH
on Iho Passaic about 300 feet from '
where the body was found. On the J
yacht the police say they fouud a seal- J
skin muff and a fur neck piece.
Tho occupants of the yacht were Al
bcrt Thompsou, -11 years of age, of
Klizabol.li, a boat mini, and Frederick
7irkmun. US years of age. Both men
were employed on tho boat. Thompson
said that he found tho fur pieces noar
tho cinder path this morning. The po
lico found on the boat dishes enough
for three diners. Thcro vero tkreo
plates, three saucers and so on. Tho
men, however, said that they had no
visitors on tho I (Ho Hour. Both wcro
arrested as suspicious characters. Tho
police said tonight that they hud prac- sM
tii-ally nothing against the prisoners, IH
but would detain them until further iu- IH
qniry could be made.
Thompson boars a good reputation.
He went to Elizabeth after coming to
this country from England, and was
employed as a molder until threo weeks
ago, when he came to this city. It was H
understood at the time that he con
