Tkto afternoon a dynamite cartridge was
placed In position In. one of the rooms of
the mine. The blast did not "explode as In

of the blast hole and Ignited the accumula

occurred and a seething mass of flames
shot to the mouth of the mine and extended
Ml feet into the air, scorching the leaves
from the-near-by trees.
There were thirty-four men in the mine

Its little grave covered with violets, !s be
ginning to attract much attention from
the passengers on the St. Louis and Sub
urban line, on which the garden abuts.
The members of the company take great
delight in tending the flower plot, which
extends from the back of the engine-house
to the north line of the Suburban right-of-way,
and in caring for the grave, which
contains all that is left of their dog,
"Rags."
In the center of the plot Is a rosebed. with
a walk around it, leading from the back
door of the engine-house. A hedge serves

Is a row of flowers. There is also a row of
flowers on the east and west sides of the
plot, and flowers and shrubs are tastefully
planted in other parts of the plot. The
tower of the engine-house is almost covered
with Ivy. In another year the Ivy will have
leached the top of the tower. Ivy is ulso
growing on the east side of the house.
At the south side of the house is a
clematis, which is said to be one of thu
tlnest in the city. Other varieties of flow

SOLICITOR GENERAL RICHARDS SAYS THE
DECISIONS CONSTITUTE GOVERNMENT VICTORY.
Washington, May 27. Solicitor General
Richards of the Department of Justice, who
had charge of the Insular cases before the
Supreme Court, to-night, made the following
statement containing his interpretation ef
the .decisions of the court to-day:
"The important question involved In these
cases was whether the cession of territory
contained in the treaty of Paris made Porto
Rico and the Philippines an Integral part
of the United States within the meaning of
that provision cf the Constitution requiring
all duties. Imposts and excises to be uni
form throughout the United States.' The
court held that the cession simply made
Porto Rico and the Philippines domestic ter
ritory of the United States, subject to the
full control of Congress, which control could
be exercised without reference to those
limitations. This limitation, the court held,
was Intended to apply to the States of the
Union and does not apply to acquired ter
iltory unless by treaty and by subsequent
act of Congress It Is Incorporated within
und becomes an integrul part of the United
States.
"The decisions are substantially a victory
for (the Government. They sustain to the
fullest extent the so-called Insular policy
of the administration. The Government now
has the sanction of the Supreme Court
for governing these islands as their needs
require. The court holds that the Constitu
tion, did not, of Its own force, at once ap
ply to those ceded territories, placing their
people, their products and their ports on
an Immediate equality with ours, and con
ferring on them the rights, privileges and
immunities enjoyed by the people, the prod
ucts and ports of the several, States.
Great Power Given to Congreae.
"While their fundamental rights are pre
served by those underlying principles of
the Constitution which apply everywhere,
the status of their citizens and the nature
of the customs regulations are to be
determined by Congress, and the ex
ercise of the power vested by the Constitu
tion in Congress to make all needful rules
and regulations respecting territory be
longing to the United States.
"Obviously what I have said regarding
Porto Rico applies equally well to the Phll
ippineS; so that the President is perfectly
free under the Spooner act to govern the
Philippines as their needs and their Inter
ests may require.
"At the same time that the court has sus
tained, to the fullest extent, the contention
HERRON ABANDONS
MARRIAGE RITUAL.
Without Wedding Formula of
Church or State, the Socialist
Leader Took a Xew Wife.
SIMPLY EXPRESSED A CHOICE.
This and Afterrcmarks of the
Preacher Comprised Ceremony
Abandoned Family for His
Socialistic Sweetheart.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York. May 27. Without the exchange
of the usual matrimonial vows, with none
of the ritual or the formulas either of
church or state. Professor. George D. Her
ron, leader of the Socialist crusade and late
clergyman of the Congregational Church,
took as his wife last Saturday night the
young woman for whose love he had al
ready abandoned the mother of his chil
dren. Mutual friends this evening made public
the story of the unique wedding of Profes
sor Herron to Miss Carrie Rand. It oc
curred In the apartments of Doctor Charles
B. Patterson, in the Schuyler apartment
house at No. 69 West Forty-fifth street. In
which establishment "Professor Herron has
also had rooms slnceThe came to this city,
early in the spring.
So Plighted Vow.
There were no plighted vows of faithful
ness, nor was there the customary bestowal
of the wedding ring in token of an indis
soluble union. What meager ceremony there
was attending the event if ceremony it
may be called was performed by the Rev
erend William T. Brown, pastor of the Ply
mouth Church of Rochester, N. Yi, who Is
in sympathy with many of Professor' Her
ron's peculiar Socialistic views, and is a
member of the Socialist crusade. Among
the small party who witnessed the union
were men famous in the world of letters.
Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Morkham were there,
and so was Richard Le Galllenne. Mrs. E.
D. Rand, mother of the bride, graced the
occasion with her presence, even as she
had already sanctioned by her .presence a
Joint trip to Europe, during which Profes
sor Herron and her daughter' had traveled
in comsany before the Professor' had been
released from the marital bonds which he
once recognized as binding.
Mere Matter of Choice.
Professor Herron and Miss Rand, in the
presence of these witnesses, made a simple
announcement of their mutual choice, much
as two business men might announce to a
party of friends a prospective partnership.
Doctor Brown then followed with & brief
address, In which he voiced the socialist
idea of marriage. The wedding gifts were
few and simple, except that of M(ss Rand's
mother, who bestowed upon the wedded pair
a thirty-five acre farm near Metuchen, N.
J. There Professor Herron and his wife ex
pect to reside, and from there he and his
socialist comrades expect to push their
propaganda during the coming summer.
Wife Soclallat.
Being a devoted socialist. Miss Rand had
given liberally In other dlrectlosh, and it
has been commonly reported and generally
believed that before her marriage to Pro
fessor Herron. she gave the sum of ttO.000
for the maintenance of the professors di
vorced wife and her children. The profes
sor and his bride announced to their friends
that their lives would be devoted to the
cause of socialism.
The Reverend, Doctor Brown, In the course
of his remarks, said:
"Nowhere has the religious institution so
nearly approached the frontiers of vital
truth as in conceiving marriage to be a
sacrament. But nowhere has It, departed
so far from aU that is divine and ennobling
as in supposing -that any word of priest
or prelate can be sacramental. Neither
statute nor official, civil or religious, can
ever create thla aacred thing. Inasmuch,
grave of the firemen's doe. which Is marked
by' a cut stone, on which Is Inscribed
"Rags." The stone was prepared by a
young machinist who resided In Cab.iune,
and who Is now dead.
Rags was a tramp dog, which took up Its
abode at the engine-house several years ago.
No one knew anything of Its past history
or ancestors. Rags was not fair to look
upon, but had winning ways. The dog made
friends rapidly in the neighborhood, -peclally
among the women and cliililr.-u.
It did not take the little ones long to leal u
that the dog liked sweets, and after that
Rags got all the candy It could eat for the
asking.
When the dog became hungry It would
start out on a tour of Cabanne and going
to the kitchen dour would wait until the
cook Tiade her appearance'. Then Rags
would "beg." Domestics quickly learned
what the dog wanted and Rags was rarely
sent away without u meal.
One day last fall Rags took sick. Thu
toys called In Doctor Frank Rohun. whose
office was near by. Doctor Rohan said thu
dog had the upiearauce of having been
poisoned, if this was the case it was
thought that It was not Intended for Rags.
At any rate Rags died. The firemen dug
a grave on the sunny side of the engine
house, und burled the body. The little
mound which is nbout two feet long. Is
kept carefully nodded. As soon as the
weather permitted this spring, violets were
planted on the grave, and they are growing
nicely.
of the Government in these cases. It has
decided, as a matter of statutory construc
tion, that the Dlngley uct could not be held
to Impose duties on goods brought from
Porto Rico, because, by cession, Porto Rico
became domestic territory of the United
States and, therefore, ceased to be 'a for
eign country.' The decisions of thu court
cull for no change In the administration of
the law. The court did not decide what Is
known us the'second Dooley case, la which
Is Involved the validity of the collection of
duties under the Foraker act on goods
taken to Porto Rico from the United State.".
Philippine Intra .May C.6 Over.
"While I huvu no Information on the sub
ject. It may be that the court thinks there
is involved in the case another question as
to whether such duties would nut amount
to duties on articles exported from a State.
"The court also failed to dispose of what
is popularly known as the Fourteen Dia
mond Rings case. Involving the entry for
duty of rings brought Into the United States
by a returning soldier from the Philippines.
There were no decisions affecting the Phil
ippines to-day, and I presume both of the
cases referred to will go over until the fall
term of the court."
No Philippines Decision.
The court adjourned this evening without
announcing the decision in what Is known
as "the fourteen. diamond rings" case. Emll
Pepke, claimant, which may be announced
to-morrow, or. may be carried over until
next fall. This is the case which raises the
diamond question as to Imports from the
Philippines which, is raised as to Imports
from Porto Rico by the De Lima case. The
cases arose in different ways and came be
fore the court differently, but it is not
doubted that the court will apply the samo
rule to the imports from the Philippines
since the ratlllcatlon of the treaty of peaco
as was applied to Imports from Porto Rico
between the ratification of the treaty and
the act of Congress. There may be a dis
tinction drawn by the court between the
Pepke case, and the De Lima case, on the
ground that the United States were not yet
in complete possession of the Philippines at
the time when Pepke brought in the four
teen rings which were seized for nonpay
ment of duty, but, even if such distinction
should be made there is no doubt that the
rule laid down In the De Lima case would
apply to present Importations from the
Philippines when the United States arc in
full possession of all the port9
therefore, as George D. Herron and Carrie
Rand are thus united together by the bond
of a reciprocal love. I announce that they
are husband and wife by every law of right
and truth."
Herron'a Radical Views.
When the Reverend G. D. Herron became
pastor of one of the leading Congregational
churches of Iowa, several years ago, his ad
vanced views at first drew largo congrega
tions and his flock rapidly increased. Mrs.
Rand was the widow of one of the wealth
iest pioneer lumber merchants qf Michigan,
who had died, leaving to her and to his
children a large fortune. Miss Carrie Rand
early In Doctor Herron's pastorate began
to manifest keen Interest In his .work and
close personal sympathy with his somewhat
unorthodox views. As the pastor's social
istic tenets began to become more pro
nounced he gradually lost his hold upon his
church and was finally forced to resign.
Mrs. Rand and her daughter, Carrie, from
their personal fortune then endowed liber
ally in the Iowa College at Grlnnell a so
called chair of applied Christianity, of
which Professor Herron became the Incum
bent, deriving his Income for the support,
of himself and family from the interest on
the sum given by Miss Rand.
Wife Got s Divorce.
Professor Herron's domestic affairs came
to an open rupture last March, when his
wife obtained a divorce and went South to
reside with friends, and there escape the
sting of gossiping tongues. It was soon
after this that Professor Herron was In
vited to share tho platform in this city at a
meeting of the "Get Together Club" .with
the Reverend Doctor Hlllis, pastor of Ply
mouth Church. Brooklyn: the Reverend Jo-
siah Strong, president ot the. Lenguo for
Social Service, and other wen-Known nu.
manltarlans and divines! Revelations of
Professor Herron's domestic affairs prompt

nearly all the others who had been Invited,

SOMETHING NEW IN
WAY OF A "CORNER"
Glass Trust Said to Be Trying to
Get a Monopoly on
Skilled Labor.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Indianapolis, Ind., May 27. According to
reports that have reached the Attorney
General of Indiana, and which ho Is Inves
tigating, the Glass Trust Is trying nn en
tirely new thing In the way of a "corner."
The story Is that tho American Window
Glass Company tho Glass Trust together
with the "Independent" combination, Is try
ing to get a monopoly on skilled glass la
bor, and to that end Is making efforts to
hire every man who knows anything nbout
making glass.
The report to the Attorney General's of
fice Is to the effect that the GlasB Trust
and Independent combination are in nego
tiation with tho heads of tho two L. A. SOO
organizations, with a view of employing
the whole membership of each organiza
tion, with the purpose of shutting out com
petition from co-operative glass factories
and others not In cither trust, which are
rapidly forming In the State.
Within the last few months many co
operative companies have Incorporated with
the Secretary of State, and It Is said that ap
parent success has aroused the Glass Trust
and the Independent companies. Skilled
glass laborers are at a premium. It is said,
and if a deal can be mado between the
two branches of the L. A. 300 and the two
large glass manufacturing branches, the co
operative glass manufacturers and other
companies may find It Impossible to con
tinue to operate. The glass trust and tho
Independent combination have agreed suf
ficiently to control prices on glass.
The Attorney General has written to sev
eral points In the State with a view to col
lecting Information with regard to the ac
tion of the glass trusts, and It Is felt that
some Important facts havo only recently
been placed In his hands.
Deputy Attorney General Hadley says the
trust Is working old glass blowers who have
apparently almost outlived their usefulness,
but who are. employed on 'account of their
knowledge of tho work.- It Is necessary,
however, for the company to hire young
men to assist tho old blowers in their work

ing, said to Nelson: "I want you to apolo
gize to me for the mnnner in which ypu

museum for the permanent housing of th
famous Carter natural history collection,,

tabllsh a claim for 130,000 that will, it per(
fected, be a Hen on tho collection, lira.
Snyder believes that she has a Just and
valid claim against the estate ot Edwin Jm
Carter, who made the collection. There)
were practically no assets of the estate)
save the natural history collection, and al
though this has been, practically speaking;
given to the estate, her claim would hold
against the collection.
Mrs. Snyder's claim is connected with Car
ter's actions as trustee of certain property; .
owned by a former husband of Mr. 8nyj
der, Fred Crome. James I. Fulletv-Vra'

ler married Crome. They lived together but
a short time, when Mrs. Crome brought suit ,
for divorce. The divorce was granted ana
she afterwards married Snyder. The grounds)
for divorce were of peculiar nature miul ,
were kept secret.
Crome, it is alleged, in order to keep frons
paying alimony, transferred his property to'
Edwin L. Carter. In trust, for Nettle Fuller,'
the young daughter ot his wife by her first
husband. Fuller. The case waa tried in UN.
Mrs. Snyder's claim In based upon her be
lief and allegation that the divorce was so
Irregular as to be Invalid and the decree (
of no legal effect. Crome Is now dead and
Mts. Snyder claims to be his heir aa his1
wife. Just here a peculiar fact enters -to),
cloud what would otherwise be clear saU-l
lng and an easy determination of the merits
of the case. Tho flies In tha divorce case)
have disappeared.
The records show that the case was tried
before a referee. Attorney H. C. Riddle.
They show further that the decree waa
signed within three days after the sulti
was brought, an unusually ahort time.
This does not necessarily invalidate
Ihe divorce, but makes It questionable.!
There were other Irregularities. Mrs. Bnyi
der attorney states that while they may) I
contestable. The record shows further that
the alimony awarded In the decree waa,
