Denounce Justice Wright for
His Alleged Unjust Sen
tences in Labor Case.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
. Jndiauapolls, Iud., Jan. 28.—The 1,400
delegates of the couveutlou of United
Mine Workers of America hare unani
mouylv Missed resolutions champion
ing the cause of Samuel (tampers.
John Mitchell and Frank Morrison,
officers of the American Federation of
.Labpr, $nd strongly protesting sçalnst
the senteuces of imprisonment passed
upon them by Justice Wright. The
resolutions say:
The action of Justice Wright In the
cases can never be accepted with any de
cree of justification by the mine workers
of America. We maintain that there
was no violation of the law of the land j
by our fellow workmen and that all their ι
ecta complained of were strictly within |
the right* as guaranteed to every citizen ι
of this country by our constitution and !
organic law.
We hold that the Sherman antitrust law
was never Intended by congress to apply
to labor unions, and the construction
placed thereon by the federal courts is
destructive of the usefulness and only
power of organized labor for its protec- I
tlon and advancement.
We further protest against the uncalled
for and extreme bitterness of the arraign
ment of the defendants by Justice Wright
as unparalleled In judicial proceedings in
the courts of our land.
We regard his action therein and the
•cepe thereof as a direct blow gainst
our individual liberties aa workmen and j
— "against our labor unions. Ws condemn'
the penalties imposed as unjust, unrea- !
sonable and shockingly exoessive.

Island Republic Today.
HOLIDAY FOR ISLANDERS
Havana, Jan. 28.—The new president
of Cuba, Jose Miguel Gomez, took the
oath of office at noon today, and the
American occupation was ended, thus
inaugurating a new era of freedom and
Independence for this Island.
Charles B. Magoon, until today pro
visional governor of Cuba, embarked
for the United States, leaving the gov
ernment entirely In the hands of Presi
dent Gomez and his advisers. Most of
the 5,000 American soldiers who har·
occupied the island since 1906 have
been sent home, and the remainder
will leave by April 1.
The oath of office was administered
to PresUient Gomez and Vice President
Zayas by President Ban-elro of the su
preme court of Cuba In the presence of
a great throng of Cubans and Amer
icans and other foreigners. Today le a
general holiday throughout Cuba, and
from all the six states men prominent
In the political, commercial and social
life of the Island have gathered to at
tend the Inauguration. The principal
officers of the American troops «till In
Cuba, re-euforced by the officers of the
American warships in the harbor, made
a bruve showing In their dress uni
forms. The Inauguration ceremonies
were preceded by a parade of the rural
tuards and other Cuban troops, In
which the American soldiers did not
participate, as it was thought that
their presence In the procession might
recall loo strongly the fact that for
more than two years the Island has
been under foreign domination. At
the close of the ceremonies President
Gomez was warmly congratulated by
the foreign envoys, who extended to
him the goo<l wishes of their respective
governments for the welfare of his
country. A conspicuous figure was
Mgr. A versa, representing the Vatican.
Many messages of congratulation were
received, notably from President Roose
velt and William H. Taft, president
elect of the United States. He has
many friends among prominent Cu
bans.
Word of the taking of the oath of
crtice by President Gomez was sent to
the American battleships Alain? and
.Massachusetts, lying in (he hnrbor as
representatives of tite United States
government. Immediately the shores of
the harbor began to echo with the re
ports of a presidential salute tired in
honor of the new president by the
three vessels.
Cock and bull fights were the fea
tures of today's patriotic celebration iu
Santiago.

SERUM HELPS
DOCTOR BULL
Lymph from Glands of Ani
mals Improves Condition
of Cancer Patient.
STARTS SOUTH SATURDAY
N«ir York, Jan. 28.—Dr. William T.
Bull, the «minent aurgeon, who for
many week* was reported to be on the
▼erg· of death, has been ao far re
stored to health by the uae of a new
serum that ha Intend· to sail on Sat
urday for tha south.
Into the surgeon's body there was
Injected a serum prepared from the
thyroid glands of animals by Profess
or James Swing and Dr. 8. P. Beebe
at the Cornell Medical school. It was
administered under th· direct super
vision of Dr. Bull himself, assisted by
Dr. Nathaniel B. Petter, Dr. Joaeph A.
Blake and Dr. O. U. Wyncoop.
As a result of the use of tha serum
tha once malignant swelling an the
neck subsided. Though still lacking
seventy pounds of bis old time weight.
Dr. Bull haa lost his emac|atad look,
and his spirits have revived.
"Until now those conversant with
the methods of treating Dr. Bull," said
one of the physicians, "have «ought to
keep the treatment a secret, because
we do not yet know If tha serum will
cure. It would be foolish te stir up
the world with any definite announce
ment until success is assured.
"Dr. Bull's improvement may be only
apparent. Borne csncerous patients
have Intervals of comparatively good
health, then lapse to a lower level of
vitality."
