CLASS LEGISLATION BITTERLY DENOUNCED John Kirby Demands that Con gress Apply to Unionism Law It Maintains Over . 1 Business. By Associated Press. Detroit, Mich., May 20. Charging that organized labor has failed to clear Itself of "the stains which vio lence and lawlessness cast upon It," John Kirby, Jr., of Dayton, O., presi dent of the National .Association of Manufacturers, in his annual report today dwelt on present industrial and legislative tendencies and their effects on manufacturers ano- employes. He referred in detail to the attitude of manufacturers towards the tariff. He said In . part: "Conspicuous in the mqmentous events of recent years that have trans pired In the field of American Industry is the tragedy of Lob Angeles and the drama of Indianapolis. As a reward to the principal accomplices in this conspiracy, they have one after an other through the power of the Invin cible 'inner circle' . of the American Federation of Labor, been re-elected to their respective offices. Point out to me one single labor leader or dele gate who has arisen and Indignantly demanded that such type of leadership be forever barred from the adminis tration of union affairs. , . "-During recent years we have wit nessed the prosecution and conviction of many business men under the Sher man anti-trust law for seeking In some way to protect their business against ruthless competition .and dominant methods of the labor trust,. If they have violated the law we have no complaint to offer for the penalties, ' which they may be called upon to pay, but we do protest against the free and ' fthmolested manner - in r which the labor trust defiantly continues to vio late the same law. Attacks Congress Members. i "We are Justified In our condemna tlon of representatives and senators In congress who, In the name of political -expediency, stoop so low In the scale, of public duty as to vote for such leg islation as the Clayton antl-lnjunctlon and contempt bills passed in the lower house of the sixty-second congress and which only escaped passage In the senate by a hair's breadth, "There are men now acting in the capacity of representatives of the peo ple who under the cowardly pretense of political expediency have been willing to violate their oath of office for cheap prices offered by the leaders of an organized gang of dynamiters who. with their entire affiliated mem bership, represent less than two per cent of the population of the country. Hays Legal D Incrimination. "And should not we gaze with hor rified amazement upon the spectacle presented to us in the closing days of the last congress when both the house and senate passed the sundry civil ap. proprlatlon bill containing provisions that no fund appropriated lor - tne use of the department of Justice in prosecuting violators of the Sherman oct should be used for the purpose of prosecuting these defiant combina .. tlons a bill which William' Howard Tuft promptly vetoed. The same bill la pending again, having promptly been passed by the house In the ape- clal session. And thia is the way the imy iti power starts out to make yood its boasted slogan of 'equal rlrhts for all, special privileges to ncne." Referring to the Industrial Work rn of the World as being supplemen tal to the American Federation of La I or. Mr. Kirby said: "Against these forces of evil, domes tic and alien, we must stand flint-like In our resolve that our government Is and must be a government of law, "If, as a result of radical and III advised tariff legislation we suffer I uslness depression and the loss of opportunity to labor," he said In con elujilon, "the aftermath, like In the ireent floods, will plainly be visible and the remedy sharp and decisive, JHit this Is not the case with respect to (he insidious Class legislation which Is creeping , Upon us.

Washington,- May 20.- Defective railroad equipment and tracks were responsible for 68 per cent of all de railments In the United States during July, August and September, 1912, and during those three months there were 935 more train accidents. Includ ing 901 more collisions and derail ments than three weeks during the same months of 1911. All train acci dents on steam roads during that time killed 288 and injured 4598, an increase of 87 in the killed and 315 In the injured during the correspond ing period of the year before.

This little town is almost in a state of siege because of threats uttered by the militant suffragettes that they will destroy the putting greens and thus render pluy Impossible In the world's . amateur golf championship, which Is to be competed here next week, , Intense excitement prevails among the townspeople, who depend largely for their prosperity - upon the ' golf links, while tho members of the Royal and Ancient Golf olub are extremely anxious. They and tire citizens have organized a vigilance committee whose members. together with 5000 volunteers, will guard the greens night and day. The general anxiety becomes keen er every day, as it Is thought that the militant suffragettes many refrain from delivering their attack until the last moment, when it will be impos sible to repair the damage. As it Is understood the women will use vitriol to destroy the greens, ail the sentries stationed there have pro vided themselves with large umbrellas to present the corrosive fluid being thrown into their faces. The river Tay routes, by which the links are reached from Dundee, a hotbed of suftraglsm, are closely guarded and to make doubly sure, a unwerful searchlight has been mount ed on the bridge ,, the light from which sweeps the links, the road and river.

NAME OFW.M.WOOD BROUGHT INTO CASE President of American Woolen Company Instigator of "Plant" Witness Was Told. - Ily Associated Press. Boston, May 20. Dennis J. Collins, a dog fancier of Cambridge, on trial with President ' William M. Wood of the American Woolen company anil Frederick E. Atteaux, a Boston dye manufacturer, , for conspiracy to "plant" dynamite at Lawrence during the textile strike of 1912, testified as a .witness for the prosecution when the trial was resumed today. Cdllins said that on May 19, 1912, he met John J. Breen, a Lawrence un dertaker, who was convicted of actual ly "planting" the explosive in a sa- loon in Boston. , In the course of their conversation, Breen asked if he would like to go to Lawrence that night. "I told him I would go if I could help him any," Collins said. Breen con tinued: "We shall probably meet some folks and you had better carry this bundle to keep your, end up."y At the same time he handed the witness five 5 bills. Breen, witness said, agreed to give him more money the following day, Collins said that after leaving the saloon they met two men. One of the men, described by the witness as Mr. Rice, gave Breen a package weighing about 40 pounds which they carried to Breen's house in Lawrence . and opened. It contained sticks which felt cold." ,-. ; . -, y-"; "I asked Breen what they were," the witness added, "and he told me It was 'Juice.' " Collins told of a conversation In which Breen said "I'll be mayor of this city next year. There is a million back of me." "I asked him what he meant," said Collins,' "and he asked me if I knew President Wood, of the American Woolen company, I told him I did not, then he said I would see the joke In the papers the next day." That night Collins said they went carrying small bundles made from contents of the bundle brought from Boston. They left packages at a Sy rlan tailor shop and a cobbler's shop and also deposited one in St. Mary't cemetery. Another payment of $25 was made by Breen to Collins. Breen said he had received $100. On the day that Breen's trial began at Salem, Charles Breen called at Col llns' home In Cambridge. "He told me," said ' witness, "that his brother John had sent him to tell me to "beat it." , Collins said when he read in the newspapers of the discovery of the dy namlte at Lawrence,- he did not know that the packages distributed by Breen and himself contained dyna mite. Collins said that . Breen never told him what the packages contained, never would haw had anything to do with the matter it I had known dyna mite waa In the bundles." he said. He could not give any reason why Breen, a friend of high standing, should In volve him In such a case. Counsel told him, he said, that If he tild the truth for the government, the district attorney would not send him to Jail. William J. Rooney, a police Inspector, of this city, testified that Breen- notified the Boston police on the afternoon of January It that ht had Information that . dynamite hac been hidden at Lawrence. He ex plained that he had received his In formation from an Italian. About midnight Breen telephoned him thai he knew the exact place where the dynamite was hidden. Rooney went to Lawrence the next morning and assisted In the search for the explosive. Ha described the find Ing of the dynamite. Replacing Gettysburg; Memorials. By Associated Press.

Street car er vice wns resumed on all lines In ('In elnnntl today, a settlement of the 1 ftitvs' Htrfke having been reached Ins nit. lit. , , IS TO BE LEFT It Will Try to Effect Settle ment : between Street Car Men and the Electric Company. A MISUNDERSTANDING COMMITTEEMEN THINK Two of Them Make Statements as to How in Their Opinion the Difference Proba bly Arose. 1 lip committee of ten Is to meet this afternoon at 5 o'clock to consider the wage Issue. J The present difference between the street car employes of the Asheville Power and Light icompany concerning the pay of the one and two year men is due to a misunderstanding and a mistake in communicating to the representatives of the street car men the figures made- by President John son in his final proposal to settle the recent strike, according to statements made today -by two members of the committee of ten appointed by. the mass meeting to try to effect a settle ment of the strike. The matter is now in the hands of ths committee of ten and Chairman George S. Powell stated that he has not the least doubt but that it will be settled to the satisfac tion of both parties; although he con tinued that the committee had not definitely decided on a course of ac tion. - f - Two of the members of the commit tee of ten gave their opinion as to how the misunderstanding occurred and they co-lncided. . j They said that on the night of the settlement- there was hurry and worry, and the members of the committee were tired, from a long day of -effort. Hundreds . of figures had been presented by various men to other various men, and Bcores of pro posals were discussed. They say that when President Johnson of the Ashe ville Power and Light company sub mitted what he called his last proposal he had a memorandum from which he read the figures and they were taken down as follows: One year men, 20 cents per hour. Two year men, 21 cents per hour. Three year men, 23 cents per hour. Four year men. 25 cents per hour. And this was the memorandum that was submitted to the street car men, which they accepted. But It Is not contended by the members of the committee, or the two who made the statement, that these figures are those that Col. Johnson meant to have pre sented to the street car men. They say there might have been a mistake made in taking down the figures, or a nlsunder8andlng of the spoken Words, since Col. Johnson submitted nothing in bluck and white, at that time. Nor was he axked to verify the flgures which had been written, since every one was In a hurry to get the difficulty settled and was jubilant and excited over the happy results, as it waa felt sure that the men would ac cept No Call for Any Trouble. Said a member of the committee: There Is no call for any trouble. Both parties are composed of honorable and fair-minded men and I am sure hat a settlement can be effected. When President Fisher of the local union was seen this morning he said that he had nothing more to say; that iio had left the matter for the present -n the hands of the committee of ten; that the committee had asked him to 1o this, as the members thought they could effect a settlement and he had lone so. Yesterday, he said, he had understood that the committee had left the matter to be settled by the men and the company, but at that time the committee understood that the controversy waa about the one year men only. He did not know what course the committee intended .o pursue. No member of the committee could be found who would say what he thought would be the'baals of settle ment, but there have been unomcia. hints that there might be a compro mise; that the men might be Induced ;o accept the 1 cents per hour for .he first year men, and that the com pany would be willing to give 21 cents for the two year men. According to a statement made last night by President fisher of the Street Car men's union there Is no :ikellhood of another strike Just at oresent. George 8. Powell, chairman of the citizens' committee, together with frank Loughran and L, L. Jenkins, .net with a number of the street car nen laat night and held a conference which lasted until 11 o'clock and was idlourned. when It waa announced hat the men were to hold another neetlng at the hall of the Central .abor union at midnight.

SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY GROWING IN EMPIRE Rulers' Authority Diminishes Conservatives Join Rad icals in Demand for Equal Treatment. By Associated Press. Tokio, May 20. News that the bill Calll'ornlun aliun land ownership had been signed by Governor Johnson was received here with regret, al though It had been discounted In offi cial and non-official circles. It was hoped up to the last minute, however, that Washington's intervention would prove successful. The newspapers published extra editions with the an nouncement that the bill had been signed. Efforts of the Japanese government are concentrated at present on paci fying public opinion, but the task is regarded In many quarters as a more difficult one than at the time of the Californian school controversy, or even a-year ago. Since the death of the old Japanese emperor the authority of the govern ment has steadily diminished in re sisting the growing influence of pub lic opinion and the spirit of dempc racy is augmenting throughout the empire. Arthur Bailly-Blanchard, secretary of the United States embassy, visited Baron Noboakl Maklno, the Japanese foreign minister today, and reiterated the determination of the United States government to exert every influence In 'order to find a friendly and satisfac tory solution of the question. He em phasized the fact that it was a Cali fornian and not an American, question and thanked the Japanese government for litis friendliness and for Its attempts o restrain excitable public opinion of Japan. It is generally believed here that Washington will find a solution of the problem, but the more conservative element in Japan are now echoing the public agitation for equal treatment of the Japanese. They declare that the radial Issue which it is contended Is nvolved and the steady recurrence of anti-Japanese bills in California should receive "basic curative treatment. A prominent official said today: "The Japanese people feel that their national honor is Involved. The pres ent question will be solved peacefully, but what Is needed to assure the per manence of our traditional friendship is a change of heart In some Amerl cans toward the Japanese." Washington, May 20. With the an swer of the United States to Its pro test in hand, it now develops upon the Japanese foreign office to take the next step In the negotiations over the California alian land act. It is ex pected the forthcoming rejoinder to Secretary Bryan will be strongly argu mentatlve and calculated to result In the conduct of the future negotiations on a strictly legal basis. As It is understood that the state departmen is looking to the Japanese government, or some Japanese citizen, to test the new law by recourse to the United States courts. It may be stgnlfi cant of the drawing of another issue that the Japanese are believed to be reluctant to begin such a movement. In his protest of May 9 to the state department, the Japanese ambassador Is understood to have made it perfect ly clear that Japan, finding it impos sible to deal directly with the state of California, was relying entirely upon the federal government to Insure what he believes to be fair treatment for its subjects Probably that contention will be extended to cover the legal test of the California land law, though the ordinary procedure in such cases would be to allow a Japanese subject, threatened with escheatment of his lands, to begin action by appli cation for an Injunction. Meanwhile it la expected that eev era! days will elapse before the Jap snese rejoinder la received, In view of the fact that 10 days were taken for the preparation and delivery of the American reply to the original protest POLICE SHAKE-UP Ilalelgh Captains Irnioted anil Five Patrolmen Let Out, Following King's Klollon.

MOR RESTIVE M AKES DEFENSE OF MR. REDFIELD HENRY M. FLAGLER DIES IN FLORIDA Railroad and Hotel Man Pass es Away After a Long Illness. By Associated Press. West Palm Beach, Fin., May 20. Henry M. Flagler, the Southern railroad magnate and hotel man, who has been ill here for the past several weeks, died at 10:20 this morning. He had been deaf, blind and out of his mind for three weeks. Death came quietly and without pain. The-body will be buried in a mau soleum at St Augustine In the yard of the Memorial Church which he gave to the Presbyterians. At Mr. Flagler's bedside were his son, Harry, who arrived yesterday from Europe, the Rev. Dr. George Morgan, his pastor, who will conduct the. funeral services at St. Augustine, where the' body will be buried in the Flagler mausoleum In the yard of the Flagler Memorial church, which he gave to the Presbyterians of t2; "'ty. Henry M. Flagler was born afi. adalgua, N. Y., In 1830. Little Tn, known of his early life except that he was clerk In a country grocery in Or leans county, Mich., while yet In his teens. Later he removed to Saginaw, Mich., where he engaged in the manu facture of salt. Becoming interested in the possibil ities of the petroleum Industry, he re moved to Cleveland, O., where he or ganized the company of Rockefeller, Andrews and Flagler, engaging in the refining of oil. The Standard Oil com pany waa the outgrowth of this ven ture, and Mr. Flagler has remained actively connected with the .manage ment of the great corporation since its Inception. " . In 1885 .Mr, Flagler paid, his first visit to Florida, and became impressed With the business possibilities pre sented there by the railroad field. In connection with the development of winter resorts. Entering actively into the work of turning Florida into one vast winter resort, Mr. Flagler built the Florida East Const railroad and later erected the Ponce de Leon and Alcazar hotels at a cost of $3,000,000. . His greatest achievement, however. was the extension of his railroad from Miami to Key West. For many years his plan was ridiculed as Im practicable, and was called "Flagler's folly." The opening of this "overseas" line is listed as one of the engineering tri- umps of the age. Mr. Flagler was vice-president and director of the Standard Oil company, president and chairman of the board of directors of the Florida East Coast railway and Jacksonville Terminal company, director of the Western Un ion Telegraph company, Morton Trust company and other corporations.

Secretary Redtield and his plan to have the de- , partment of commerce investigate cuts in wajies after the passage of the tar iff bill came in for more attention to day in congress. Senator Gallinger' construed the s4 jretary 's speech at Rochester last night as an expressed modification of his views.
