steering committee claim that they will be
abloto keep their men In line and defeat
Cummins. They make their claims
strongly, but nrc none too definite with
facts nnd figures. It Is altogether likely
that there will be nn nlllunce formed be
tween Cummins nnd Judge Towner, candi
date, for the bench of the supremo court.
The friends of Judge Towner nro deeply In
earnest In their fight and have his In
terest much at heart. It was admitted by
one of his campaign managers this after
noon that If it would advance the Interests
of their man to make an alllnnco with
Cummins they would gladly enter liito the
compact.
It Is estimated that an alliance between
Cummins and Towner would bring to tho
former about 100 voles which he does not
now have and whloh would Insure his elec
tion. On tho other hand thcro are many
delegates from tho northwestern part of
tho state, where Cummins has nearly every
thing, who nro strongly for Towner. Thoy
would bo glad to go for him. provided their
doing no coat nothing to Cummins. With
n chanoo to make something on the trade
that would help both of the men they llko,
thcro Is every chance of the deal being
made.
I'll I It ii f n I'nK Itnle.
With tho strength he owns nt tho present
time, Cummins can practically control tho
voto for Judgo of tho supreme court, and he
M likely to put that strength where It would
bring tho largest return for his own randl
dary. Thero has been some talk of en
forcing a unit rule In the convention. It
was first suggested by the opponents of
Cummins, but the managers of his candi
dacy claim that tho matter Is ono of in
dirtcrcncc to them. There are several coun
ties that nro Instructed for Cummins that
nro also Instructed to voto as n unit nnd
the question Is about ns broad as It Is long.
Tho mnttcr will probably bo left to tho
choice of tho Individual delegations. As tho
matter stands tonight, Cummins has n long
lead.

clwrged with riot, were released from Jail
lalo this allcrnoon upon ball. Theie nro

seventeen .more of tho strikers. The c fa
cets, for some reason, seem lo be afraid to
servo the wnrrants. Henry 11. Henderson, a
potter, for whom the police havo n war
rant, tins been trying to get himself In the
way of the officers nil day to hnvc them ar
rest him, but they will not do It for the
reason that Henderson Is hacked by the
National Brotherhood of Operative Potters,
and the ofllcero fear tho vengeance of the
pottcr3 onco they nro aroused, as they would
he If one of their number wcro put under
arrest. Secretary Duffy of the potters,
when seen today, denied that tho brother
hood had any Intention of calling its mem
bers out In sympathy with tho steel work
ers, though he said the brotherhood would
extend them both financial and moral aid.
"There were four new men brought Into
tho mill from Scottdalo today and four of
the strikers deserted tho union and went
back to work. Fivo mills wero working
today nnd four nro working tonight, the
largest number run any day since the strike
begun, Vlco President John Chnppello of

he refused to talk."

In tho day, however, n communication re
ceived by tho mayor from Attorney Mitch

that the negotiations have resulted In giv
ing both sides a better understanding of
their respective demands. He urged that
the concessions offered should bo ncccptcil
and Industrlnl peaco be restored.
Tho labor leaders tako tho position that
tho refusal of the employers to treat with
tho unions renders n compromise Impossi
ble. Thoy havo not nnnounced their plans
for tho future, but tho belief Is general
that tho strlko Is to be widely extended.
Power to act has been placed In tho hnnds
of tho labor council, which can, If so dis

Include nenrly 23,000 men, Three Impor

ANIMUS BEHIND THE WRIT

CHIEF DONAHUE MAKES A STATEMENT
Itenily lo Comply viltli Order of Court,
but Refuse to AHimv Seleroe to
.Make Pnlille Ofllclnt n I'rlvnle
Collection Agent.
Judge Kcysor yesterday signed an alter
native writ of mandamus requiring Chief of
Police Donahuo to make complaints against
nnd causo tho immcdlato arrest of tho
keepers and Inmates of tho houses on the
north slde:of Capitol avenue between Ninth
and Tenth streets, or to appear In court
room No. 2 at 10 o'clock next Satutdny
morning and how causo why ho should
not do so. "
The .writ was- Issued on the relation ot
Nells feclcroc, who was recently dofcated
In a case brought by him ugnlnst Louis
Slobodlsky In tho district court to enforce
ft mechanic's Urn ngalnst five of tho
houses about which he now complains ns a
citizen. Jtidgo Dickinson dismissed Solo
roe's enso because tho contract for tho con
struction of the houses provided that
Seleroe should receive his pay from tho
rents of tho properly when used for Im
moral purposes.
Sclrroo's proceeding against tho chief of
pollco is based upon tho city ordinance
which makes It the duty of the chief of
pollco to report the names of the keepers
and Inmates of bawdy houses to tho pollco
Judgo on tho first day of every month nnd
to fllo tho proper complaints and cause tho
arrest of such people whenover two or moro
citizens In their neighborhood complain.
Seleroe, In his petition for a writ of man
damus, sots up that he has made demands
in writing upon tho chief of police to re
port tho names of the keepers nnd Inmates
of the houses on the north sldo of Capitol
avenue to the police Judge nnd the chief has
railed to comply with the demands, It 3
further alleged that tho chief has Ignored
n complaint ngalnst tho houses In question
made by Seleroe, W. S. Alexander and Johu
Hunter.
"I paid no nttentlon." said Chief Donahue
yesterday, "to tho demands inadfe upon roe
by Seleroo and his lawyer Ilurbnnk to re
port names to the police Judge for several
reasons. Tho principal reason Is thnt the
intent of the ordinance requiring Biich re
ports was to levy monthly fines ngalnst the
keepers aud Inmates of bawdy houses, and
tho present city administration having
como Into power after tho adoption of tho
ui.i.nunL-e, ueicrminou to abolish the flno
system. Another reason for ignoring
Seleroo in this mattor Is that ho demnnded
thnt only tho names of tho keopers and In
mates of a Mnall portion of tho bawdy
houses in tho city be reported. Anothor
very good reason for paying no nttontlon to
Seleroo is that wo believe he Is proceeding
ngalnBt ccrtnln houses not from any moral
motive, but merely tor the purpose of forc
ing a compromise settlement of his private
business relations with Louis Slobodlsky,
tho owner of the houses.
Sinner Are Not Interested.
"Tho complaint, filed with mo concern
Ing tho Capitol nvenuc houses Is not
signed by any citizens living In that neigh
borhood. Seleroo lives nt 1715 Webster
street, Alexander at Thirteenth and Far
nam and Hunter at Thluy-flrst and Jones
streets. Tho Ordinance requiros thnt such
complaints, shall come from neighbors o
tho disreputable peoplo complnlned of.
"Tho Bj-stom of fining keepers nnd in
mates of these houses was, discontinued for
tho renson that, lt wns demoralizing In its
results. Tho women, knowing, they wero to
bo fined on n certain day every month nnd
would have to go to Jail unless thoy paid
thoir fines, would steal If necessary to get
tho money for thnt purpose. Another
troublo wns that' when they paid fines they
considered their business licensed' and
privileged, nnd It was therefore difficult for
the pollco to keep them under proper con
trol. Still another objection to the flno
system came from those who objected to
the education of our children with funds
derived from such a source.
"When Seleroe nnd the houses about
which he now comnlalns In his mntrnt tin
charged exorbitant rents nnd unless tho
rontais woro paid by 4 o clock every after
noon ho would turn tho unfortunate women
Into tho street. To pay the exorbitant ren
tals many of tho women were driven to
robbery. When Martin White was chief of
police WO had mnnv morn rnmnlnlnlc nt
robberies committed In those houses than
wo navo nan sinco ana investigation nt that
tlmo showed that mnny of tho womon pre
ferred to steal than to bo turned out of
their houses.
"Chief White asked mo ns captain of
pollco to accompany him on a tour of In
vestigation of the rents nald In the nrn.
scribed district. Wo found that Seleroo
had charged $100 a month for tho Rnven-
room h'ouso at 904 Capitol avenuo during
tho Trnnsraisslsslnni exnosltlon. hmi re.
duccd tho rent to $75, but had given notice
that It would be again raised to $100 dur
ing tho Greater America exposition. For
tho fivo houses -next to 904 Solemn win
drawing $4 a day each and had given no
tice tnat the rent was to be raised lo $6
n day. Tho three-room houses to the west
were renting for $1.50 n day nnd hotlco
ot an advance to $3 n day had been given.
Crusade Aunlnnt ltohbery.
"Mr. White told tho women he didn't nro-
nose to nllow them to be robbed snv mnrn
than ho proposed to lot thorn rob others.
Ho sent for Mr. Seleroo nnd In tho nros-
onco of Captain Her and myself he de
manded a reduction In tho robber rontnls.
Soleroo consented to reduce tho seven-room
houso to $50 n month nnd tho others to 12
nnd $1 per day, and this schodulo of rontais
has been in forco ever since. The only
purpooo in forctng a reduction of these
rcntnls wag to tnko the premium off a
certain class of thievery.
"Now, I am ready to nloy nny ardor tho
court may make. If Soleroo succeeds In
securing nn order from tho court for the
closing ot tho houses on Capitol avenue In
which he is personally Interested we will
close them, but wo will also closo everv
other house of the kind in the city. Wo
shall not mako fish nt ono and fowl of tho
other. Thero will be uo favorites played.''
Tho court records in the caso show that
In 1895 Seleioe built fivo of tho houses
against which be now complains. He built
them for Louis Slobodlsky and the contract
price was $7,400, payment to be made
monthly at tho rate of $250 n month, To
securo the payment of this money, Slobo
dlsky nsslgnod the rentals to Seleroe.
Last October, when Slobodlsky nnd
Seleroe had a disagreement over their ac
counts, the Intter brought suit In tho dis
trict court to enforce a mechanic's linn
against tho premises, claiming that Slobo
dlsky was then Indebted to him In the sum
of $5,948.49. Tho records of tho case show
that up to the tlmo of the beginning of tho
suit, Soleroo had drawn $11,910 in rentals
from the property nnd had paid out on
Slobodlsky's ncrount the sum of $6,96S.5S,
leaving a balance of $4,071.42 to apply on
the contract price for building the houses.
This would Indlcnto that thero was at
that time owing to Seleroo a balance of
$2,428.58, but ho asked Iho court for tho
enforcement of a Hen In the nmouot of $5,
918,. 19, the additional sum of $3,519.91 being
Interest charged nt tho rato of 10 por oent
per annum.
Judge Dickinson dismissed the case on
tho ground that tho contract tor the con
struction of the houses was Invalid, for the
reason thnt It provided that payment should
bo made out of tho proceeds of an Illegal
business.
Seleroe nnd his lawyer, llurbank, finding
themselves thrown out of court and shut
out frtm enjoyment of tho rents of these
houses, have been resorting to nil sorts of
desperate measures to forco Slobodlsky to
come to n settlement. They nre snld to
be responsible for the stories set nlloat

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, July 31.
(Correspondence of the Assoclnted Press.)
President Castro has Issued tho follow
ing proclamation:
Clprlnno Castro. Provisional President of
tho United Stntcs of Venezuela, Ocncral-In-Chief
of Its Armies, etc.:
To tho Venezuelans Compatriots: The
secred territory of the fiithcrlnnd bus been
Invaded by an army of Colombians com
manded by the trnltor, Cnrlos Rutigel Oar
blrns mid they have entered by I'rcna
and San Antonio.
In announcing this uprising, which nf
fects the honor and pence of the republl.-,
I fulfill my duty us the man primarily re
sponsible for the fata of Venezuela nnd In
form von that nil necessary measures havo
already been tuken to repel this grave at
tempt. In order, therefore, to fncllltnto the exer
cise of my dlscrctlonnry nutliorlty as commander-in-chief
of tho Venezuelan nrmy
nnd nt the snmo time to enable me to fultlll
my duties of president of the republic, tho
national executive has made us; of (lit
power conferred on It by section 21 of ar
ticle 89 of the nntlonnl constitution nnd has
suspended those personal guarantees the
exerrlso of which mny be Incompatible
with tho defense of the public order.
At tho samo time I have ordered 10,ftoo
troops of the nrmy of the west to march
Immediately to San Cristobal to support
the authority of the president of the state
of Taehlra and to cnuse the sovereignty
and Integrity of the national territory to
be respected.
Tho government nntl tho nrmy nro both
prepared nnil informing you of this 1 swenr
by both and In the name of the republic
thnt all our duties shnll be performed,
Compat riots, 1 therefore nsk nnd demand
In tho name Venezuela lu those solemn mo
ments, the derided support of nil her sons
who nre not llko Rntigel Onrblnis traitors
to the country nnd who havo right notions
of honor nnd duty.
CIPRIANO CASTRO.
Palnco of Mlraflores, In Cnracas, this 20lh
day of July, 1901.
Tho Insurgent lender has also Issued n
proclamation, during the course of which
he says:
To My Country nnd My Polltlcnl Friends
Filled with the Hume of true patriotism,
1 como to offer to America and to the
world my cry of protest ugnlnst tho policy
of Intervention lu all thnt relates to Vene
zuela nnd Colombia, which will ono liy
prove n delusion to civilized peoples nnd
which Is due to the silly passions of u hnlf
dozen politicians who desire, with still mote
criminal daring, to blot out our present na
tionalities, to suppress our cherished nnmts
of Venezuela nnd Colombia nnd to sink
them Into ono which might serve ns n foot
stool to their ambitious views. The cnpltnl
of Caracas is tho center of that pnrncP'a'
conspiracy. Tho national funds, which aro
the swen t of the noble Venezuelan people
nnd which should be used to provide muni
tion nnd nrtlllory for the .defense ot the
nation, dully pass Into mcrcennry hnndt
nnd this In order to wipe out from nmoni
the nations the nnmes of Venezuela at d
Colombia. It Is, thereto! c necisrnry thlt
Venezuelans nnd Colombians, whatever bo
their polltlcnl opinion, should know this
diabolical scheme, the only enuse of which
Is Insane umbltlon In nil Its dire blncknrss,
It Is necessnry thnt the peoplo of Ecu ulo",
of Venezuela nnd of Colombia should under
stand thnt tho object of the conspiracy 's
to tako from them their existence ns Inde
pendent nations. AVhnt other meaning can
be nttrlbuted to tho following words tnket
from the manifesto Issued under yoiW
duy's date nt San Cristobal by General
Rnfel I'rlbe-Urlbo:
"It should bo tho supremo desire of the
nntlons which formed grcnt Coloml la
fVonezuels. Colombln nnd Ecuador) totirn-
constitute that glorious nnd powerful nn
tlonullty which the pressing exigencies of
the time render more necessary thnn ever.
Would the radical lender nave tnougnt in
the samo wnv If. Instead of being van
quished, he had found himself toilay
triumpunut in Jiogotar woiuu no men
iiirnu.. iml.ln ilm ilnir which bo oilmen
through the battlefields, undnr whoso shade
ho has been shedding torrents of blood dur
ing tho last two veurs, to grasp nnother en
sign, unknown by his friends? No. Tho
pretension Is nn absurdity.
it is noi nil net oi inannuss in r.'ciniiiniu
the greatfr republic only by forco of urms
without the neonle bavlnir manifested n'
tleslro for such n fundamental transforma
tion? Tho republican party or I.os Amies
spesks through my mouth, and their noble
Ideas of expansion nnil fraternity hnvo
gained proselytes nil over the country. Th's
Is also the opinion of Venezuelan national
ists, of whom I havo tho honor to bo tem
porarily tho leader, the most disciplined of
our political parties nnd firmest In their
doctrines, which they received from their
Illustrious rhlef general, Jose Manuel Her
nandez, nnd I do not think that I nn mts-
tnketi In snv nu thnt on this subject tho
whole country of Venezuela thinks with me,
j noy nesiro in vnm to urag us inio nn in
tcrnntlonnl war: tho two countries will ro
mnln brothers )n suite of Invidious poli
ticians, on whom the stigma of populur rep
robation will fall at no distant date. The
war with which we nre threatened will
never be waged by people against people,
but will bo waged In requirements on one
hand, on tho other hand a lawfully consti
tuted government, which, supported by Jus
tice nnd visibly aided by Providence, re
sists his nttcmpts.
