UCK OF PROTECTION ALLEGED
Governor Peabody Explains That
Martial Law Prevails in Coun-
'ty and Legal Investigation
Now Is Impossible.
Washington. May 11 The. British Gov
ernment has become Involved, In the labor
troubles In Colorado. That Government
makes it a point to look after the hum
blest British subject, so when it happened
that In tho troubles at Telluride. Launce
lot Collins, a Britisher and a nonunion
miner, was killed by strikers, as It was
alleged, the nearest British Consul, at
Denver, started an investigation and re
ported the case to the British Embassy
here.
Sir Mortimer Durand. finding that one
of the allegations was that the man was
killed for lack of proper protection by the
authorities, called the attention of the
State Department to the matter.
The department In turn forwarded th
Ambassador's note to the Governo- - of
Colorado and the latter has now- explained
that owing to the existence of martial
law In Telluride County It Is not possible
to make the legal Investigation required
to develop a satisfactory answer to the
British 'note.
It is expected that further proceedings
will be taken when the labor troubles In
Colorado arc at an end, and if It should
appear that the British complaint Is well
founded, an application will be made to
Congress by the State Department for a
suitable indemnity for the Killing of Col
lins. T1IRKTK TO TIE UP SHIFT.
Walk Ont Decatur Tlirj- Were Fined
fur Nut Working-
Because they were fined J10 each for not
working when they did not hae the proper
tools, twenty-eight machine runners ac
mine No. 2 at Maryvllle, owned by the;
Donk Coal and Coke Company of St.
Louis, threaten to tie up the shaft.
According to the men, the trouble arose
over the failure of the company to sharpen
tho picks, as the drills which arc operated
by compressed air are called. When they
were worn blunt and unui-able the men re
fused to work, and each one was. fined $10.
Now a lot of new picks has been received,
but the men will not return to work until
the fines are remitted. They propose to
call out al the "members of local No. 1502
of the United Mine Workers.
The State Board has been In Maryvllle
to adjust the matter, but the 'men ay
their own oftlcera are against them. '

Embodied In the memorial to the Gen
eral Conference of the M. B. Church.
South, the St! Louis Conference of the
Worcan'.s Foreign Missionary Society yes
terday adopted a clause, -hlch provides
that Mrs. J. W. FJi-ans and Mrs. U. W.
English, presidents respectively of the
foreign and home missionary societies,
constitute a committer to draft a pam
phlet on "The Proper Management of
Histoids."
Jist why this clause was Inserted and
why these two ladles were selected for the
work was not made public.
One of the delegates hinted, however,
that the committee charged with prepar
ing the memorial eIdcntly had an ax to
grlr.d. and as the husbands of the two
ladles who are to write on the subject
appeared to be !! managed, it was de
cided tlat they were most Competent to
do Justice to -the matter, and at the sme
time to ghe some wholesome advice.
It was conceded that the pamphlet would
have' a large circulation sot only among
member of the society, but among the
rearjlns public, generally. If the two au
thors could bo prjvillcd upon to consent
tb placing it upon the market
As there were many ministers present
with their wives it .was at first thought
that It applied, to them, and one timidly
asked If such were not the case. "No!"
came the emphatic answer from the com
mittee, "we Just mean the plain common
eteryaaj," husbands.." When this flat had
been glvin the few- laymen present looked
shcept'hly nt, each other as though they
would retaliate-in iotne manner, but they
didn't say a word and were .soon conspic
uous by their absence. I

TO SUPPRESS VICE
Anthony Comstock of Xew York
Addresses Meeting at Second
Baptist Church.
WESTERN OFFICERS CHOSEN.
Statistics Show G41 Persons Sen
tenced for Circulating Vicious
Literature Million Books
Destroyed.
A movement, was started last nlht In the
Second Baptist Church to raise a JW.O)
fund for the perpetuation of the work
undertaken by the Western Society for
the Suppression of Vice.
Anthony Comstock. general aKent for the
Eastern Society, with headquarters In New
York, addressed the meeting and spoke of
the work which had been accomplished
by the two branches since their establish
ment, the one in 1873 and the local branch
in 1ST7, to prevent the dissemination of
vlcloui literature.
R. . McAfee of St, Louis is the gen
eral agnnt for the West, and works with
Mr. Comtock- Technically, they are Post
Office Inspectors, though they receive no
pay from the Government.
Mr. Comstock stated that to per cent of
the- fines imposed upon persons arrested
by them may be retained, but that thri
has not been taken advantage of. since
it might tend to hae a bad effect upoa
subsequent cases.
Mr. Comstock ypoke of some of the dif
ficulties attending work of the character
In which he and Mr. McAfee are en
gaged. He said that during the thirty
two years that he has been hunting down
venders of vicious literature, seeral at
tempts have been made to take his lire,
and at various times Infected articles have
been sent addressed to him through the
malls.
"People In general." he said, "have no
Idea of the means resorted to by the pub
lishers of this class of reading matter to
circulate their trash. Their favorate meth
od Is to obtain possession or as many col
lege and seminary catalogues as possible
and then circularize the students. In most
of thee Inslltntloni thele will be at least
one p-rson to whom the adt ertl-ement ap
peals and will buy. If they get one started
the others will follow. Another method Is
to get. some unscrupulous acent in-the vi
cinity of a school to pass the literature
after -chool hours."
According to the report compiled by Mr.
McAtee fr the Wetern branch of the
society, there have been K2 persons ar
rested, of which number Wt wer found
guilty and sentenced. Fines Imposed
amounted to 5127.135. The amount of books
Jnd pamphlets seized and destioycd vere'
Z.CI pounds, while the circulars, pectus

Periods.
to
DAY COACHES FOR TRAFFIC.
Temporary Bappape Warehouse
to Be Built by the Terminal
Association and Facilities
Largely Increased.
Practically alUof the railroads in the
United States. Canada and even Mexico
hate fixed dates upon which they will sell
coach excursion tickets to the World's
Fair.
These tickets will be good for from sev
en to ten days, and the low- rate at which
they nre sold about 1 cent a, mile, or 70
per cent of the round-trip fare will en
able persons of moderate means to visit
the Fair without the cost of railway trans
portation cutting too deeply Into the sum
they hive set aside for this purpose.
While the couch excursionist will not be
allowed the use of sleeping cars and will
hae only day coaches for the entire trip,
the railroads are making every effort to
put day coaches In this servicc.whlch will
be provided with mapy conenlences and
comforts.
Aside from the discomfort of sleeping In
a day coach. It Is stated that the coaches
to bo used for these excursionists will be
almost as comfortable as a Pullman, and
that the saving lir'the con of transporta
tion w-ill mora than compensate for the
few discomforts.
It Is stated that In the majority of in
stances these coach excursions will orig
inate within a day's ride of St. Louis, In
which event the visitor will stend the dar
In this coach as would be the case under
ordinary conditions.
As a result of the low rate and the ad
vantages ottered on these coach excur
sions, officials of the Terminal Associa
tion are making extensive preparations to
handle an enormous traffic on the dates
set.
The majority of the railroads in the
united states and Canada have set the
date for the coach excursions for May
and June; several have only set two or
three dates, and a few- have not as yet
decided upon the periods. The Baltimore
and Ohio Southwestern. Chicago. Peo
ria and 3t. Louis. Big Four, Vandalia.
Closer Leif and Wabash (east) have
agreed to run coach excursions ever"
Tuesday and Thursday, beginning May 17
and continuing to June 30. at which time
It Is proposed tu make what changes In
this serlce may be deemed neces
sary. The Texas roads will send coach
excursions tn St. Louis May 17 and 31. and
the Cotton Belt. Iron Mountnln. Santa Fe.
Missouri Pacific Texas Pacific. Frisco
and Missouri. Kansas and Texas will send
out coach excursions May 21, with limit
on the tickets of seven days.
FROM SOUTHWEST.
Coach excursions from Arkansas, Louisi
ana, Indian Terltory. Oklahoma. South
ern Missouri and East Kansas will be sent
out May 21 with time limit of seven days
on Louisiana tickets and five days from
other points. Other railroads of the West
have as yet not determined finally upon
the date of their coach excursions, but It
the operating department will have ap
proved a schedule submitted by the traf
fic department by which connections can
te made with lines entering t. Louis.
On the east side of the Mississippi River
almost all lines have fixed dates for coacn
excursions. The Illinois Central from
Natchez and Memphis, May 21. The limit
en tickets from Natchez will be ten days,
while the limit on tho Memphis tickets
will be five das.
ThCi Louisville nnd Nashville will send
out coach excursions from different part
or Its territory. Jlav 19 and 31.
Lines from Georgia. Florida and -Ma-barca
will send out coach excurslonsrMay
9 and 23 and Atlantic Cojst lines will have
coach excursion trains May IS and 21.
Jn the East the dates ot the cpach ex
cursions have been arranged to work In
with connections to St. Lnuis. The New
Vork Central will send out an "xcurslon
May 2( with a ten days' ticket limit, and
the I'cnnvylrunla win be arranged with
that of the Vandalia.
While the Chlcago-St. Louis lines have
pot as et arranged for coach schedule
dates. It is believed that an agreement will
be made and a big traffic mar be expected
from the Windy City throuchout the Ex
position period. The same Is true of the
Burllngtcn. which taps a large granger
country and Is expected to hring a very
large traffic Into EL Louis this fall.
f INCREASED FACILITIES.
While the Terminal officials arc work
ing night and day to complete the facili
ties for handling the many passengers
which the trains bearing not onlv coach
excursionists, but ten-day. fifteen-day and
many other varieties of visitors beside the
regular traffic, tha. facilities for handling
the larg amount otbaggage have also
been increased.

the Union Station tracks at Twentieth
street so that It will lead directly to the
new storage-house. In order that express
nnd deliver- wagons receiving baggage
from the eleators which arc lowered
from the train platforms can be taken di
rectly to this building.
The Terminal Association holds trunks
free of charge for twenty-four hours. On
the first day thereafter It charges 23 cents
for each piece and 10 cents for each addi
tional day. Tills class of baggage will be
held In the new building, and It Is stated
that an enormous amount of baggage- is
held In this way. visitors going to other
points from St. Louis preferring to have
their baggage held at Lnlon Station while
they spend a few days nt the Fair to hav
ing It delivered at their abode.
IMPROVED BAGGAGE SVSTEM.
A plan will soon be put in effect by
whlch the isitor will be able to have his
baggage checked and delivered before he
can get on the train. The passenger calls
at the baggage-room and presents his
check. He receiver another check in re
turn, and his check, with the duplicate or
that which he has secured, which con
tains Information as to what train he Ls
going on and who will deliver the piece, is
whisked to the storage-room through
pneumatic tubes.
The trunk, by a system of numbers, is
found at once and Immediately delivered
to the elevator in the subway, which rises
up beside the proper train.
Assistant Superintendent of Terminals
Jere Coaktey states that the number of
pieces of baggage has Increased from an
average of 5.000 pieces to 7.500 piece?. This
Includes hand baggage, which has In
creased in a far greater proportion than
the large baggace.
According to the present plans, a large
counter will be placed along the Twen
tieth street side of the station, which will
be used entirely for hand baggage, and
will have a capacity behind it for many
thousand pieces.
In order that the hand baggage may be
handled promptly, arrangements have
been made for a large number of assist-ant-.
vhose duty will be to find and de
liver baggage to visitors All that a vtMtor
will have to do is to hold vp his check so
that Its number can be plainly visible or
call out Its number, and one of. the assist
ants Immediately proceeds to find and de
liver the desired piece or luggage.
It is believed that hand baggage can be
delivered to many hundred persons .with
but little delay by this method, as the
counter Is very lone; and many assistants
will be behind It.
The various transfer and delivery com-
Eanles that carry baggage to the trains
avo adopted a system by which trunks
can be delivered with the least -possible
loss of time.
Substations hare been established In
many parts of the city, to which 'all bag-:
gage from tne territory arouna win oe
delivered.
When this baggage ls delivered it is
sorted Into heaps, each heap for the same
train, and when the time arrives the
pieces are delivered at the station for the
trains.
In this way the necessity of sending bag-gar-e
direct from the point of origin to the
station Is obviated, and the wagons are
kept In sufficient numbers at the substa
tion Instead of being scattered over tha
routes to the station, as would be the case
f all were compelled to deliver at that
point.
