Children Saw Father and Mother Murdered
When They, in Turn, Were
Clubbed to Death?Bodies (
Dumped in Creok.
Barney Parsons, a farmer, his wife
and three children were murdered Fri
day near Lickinton, iVIo. A farmer j 1
named Hamilton has been arrested, i '
charged with the murder, and is said j '
to have confessed. | (
Parsons had sold his farm and crops j ;
to Hamilton, and it is alleged that
tlie men quarreled over the terms of
the sale. Parsons and family set j
(
out from their former home in a covered
wagon, bound for northern Missouri.
The body of Parsons was
found perforated by shot, and the
mother and three children had been
clubbed to death.
Joda Hamilton, tee alleged murderer.
is in the Houston, Mo., jail,
strongly guarded to prevent lynching.
He is said to have made a complete
confession, of which the following is
a summary:
At a timber-bordered place in the
road, as Parsons and his family were
driving along, they were confronted
by Hamilton, armed with a shotgun.
Deliberately aiming at Parsons,
Hamilton discharged both barrels of
the gun and Parsons fell to the 1
ground. Hamilton then advanced
upon him and clubbed him over the '
head with the butt of the gun several
times." He then beat the head
of the mother almost to a pulp, and 1
after killing her clubbed the three '
children to death. ]
The bodies of all five were then '
loaded into the wagon and taken to 5
Big Piney Creek, about one mile dis- 1
tant from the scene of the murder, 1
' and dumped into the creek. The body
of one of the children has not yet ;
been found. A party of fishermen from ;
' Houston discovered the bodies of the
two children Saturday about nocm 1
A further search brought to light the 1
bodies of both parents, and word was
. sent to Houston. '
Shortly after the news had been 1
received there, Hamilton rode into ?
town on a mule that was recognized J
as one that belonged to Parsons. He 1
was arrested and locked up in jail. 1
Parsons was a quiet, industrious J
fanner, and never had trouble of any ]
sort. Hamilton has also been fa- i
vorably known over the entire coun- :
try. i
I The murdered children were aged
11, 4 and 1 year. Twenty deputy sher- i
iffs guarded the prisoner while in ]
the county jail, but following threats r
of lynching the sheriff hurried him
away to a safe place in tne uzaru ]
mountains. Hamilton is only twenty t
years eld. ?

LABOR UNIONS ATTACKED!
President of American Bottlers' Association
Says Unionism, as Now
Conducted, Must Ee Destroyed.
The American Bottlers' Protective
Association began its eighteenth annual
session Tuesday morning. The
initial meeting did not attempt anv;
business, and the session was given
:ver to addresses of welcome by Governor
Terrell, -Mayor Woodward and
responses by members of the association.
Following these, President Geo.
B. Hugo delivered the annual address, i
in which he clearly outlined the policy
of the association. One section of his
address bordered on the sensational,
attacking, as he did, trades-unions in
the most withering fashion, and declaring
that they are a menace to
society as they are now conducted.
Fully one thousand delegates from
various parts of the country were in
attendance. Many* of tliem were accompanied
by their wives and daughters.
President Hugo's opposition to unions
was based upon his charge that
the unicn cannot determine the value
uf an employee, that every business
must have a responsible head and
that when his authority is divided
with that of a "walking delegate" it
is no longer authority. In this conuection
Mr. Hugo said:
"The logical sequence of labor unionism
is socialism, and socialism as
commonly understood means stagnation
and commercial death to any
country. This propaganda is being
preached until it has created a feeling
of hatred between employer and
employe, in place of that feeling of
good will so necessary for the success
of any business. The labor union
with its devilish weapons of coercion,
intimidation and cruelty, coupled with
the selfishness, greed and cowardice
cf the employers, has first brought the
independent workman to his knees
md now has assumed the dictatorial
attitude of a tyrant, demanding the
control and management of our busiaess.
"How long will it be before we realize
that the trade-unions are giving
as a lesson of which we are badly in
need, showing that individuals defeated
separately, are invincible when
inited.
"Every business must have a re?
<-!- i?...i TTiV.n nMiot hn VP an
r:ponsiDie nt^u ?uu mu^i, .? ?
Lhority. Divide this authority with
i walking delegate and it is no longer
lulhority. Who is to determine the
ralue of an employe? How can the
value of an employe be determined?
[f he is a member of a labor union
le cannot serve two masters, he canlot
be ldyal to you and his union,
md a man without a soul has no
value.
"Unionism as at present conducted
nust be destroyed, must be killed. As
?lbert Hubbard says in his preachnent
on the Law of Pivotal Points:
" 'Where labor unions go beyond the
3ivotaI Point and attempt to dictate
;he amount of the output?forbidding
my many to earn more than so much;
iecide on the proportion oi apprenices
to workmen?that is, who shall
idvance and who not; tear our work
hat has been done by non-union meu
md require that it shall be done over
jy union men; insist that you must
bin a union, or else be deprived of
he right to work; then the union has
massed the Pivotal Point, and has
leased to give an equitable return.
" 'When your childdren do not go

ate to go to your work knowing you
nay be carried home on a shutter ;
vhen brickbats take the place of rea>on,
and the walking delegate says :
Carry a unuion card or take out an
iccident policy,' then things have gone
o far in self-protection the union
nust be temporarily laid low with a
ink-pin.

Secretary Taft Says Question of Withdrawal
is One i'or Future Consideration
? Important Conference
Held in Havana.
A special from Havana says: The j
United States, through its peace coin- j
iiiissioners, is not ready to announce
when it will withdraw from the island
ci Cuba and surrender the reins or
government to the Cubans, but this
action cannot be taken until the time
arrives when i'a.ir elections are assured.
This statement was maae by
Governor Taft Friday as a sort of a
valedictory address to the revolutionists
committee with which the American
commissioners dealt with in inducing
the rebels to cease hostilities
and negotiate peace. The committee
had a conference lasting an hour
with Governor Taft, Assistant Secretary
of State Bacon and Charles E.
Magoon, who is to succeed Mr. Taft
as provisional governor, and at its
conclusion expressed satisfaction with
the position taken by the provisional
government.
Headed by Alfredo Zayas, the committee
visited Governor Taft for the
avowed purpose of requesting him to
declare the policy of the United States
toward Cuba and the policy of the
provisional, governor concerning appointments
to public offices.
The Americans listened carefully
to all the representations of the commission,
and then Governor Taft replied
pointedly that he could not out
line the policy of the United States
_ . I
more clearly than was done in his
nrcclamation establishing a provisional
government for the island. He added
that as the representative of the
United States, he was just as anxious
to surrender governmental affairs
to the pubans as the Cubans were to
regain them, but the peace commissioners
were under the responsibility
to build up conditions which would
make the Cub&n government a stable
one.
Governor Taft would not predict
when such a satisfactory condition
would be reached, but he said the
Cubans themselves could hasten that
time if they were disposed to do so.
A fair and honest election by the
results of which the Cuban people
were willing to abide, 'Secretary Taft
declared, was necessary before the
United States would feel justified in
withdrawing from the island.
.Senor Zayas, Carolos Garcia and
Jose Miguel Gomez hastened to show
Governor Taft that it was not their
personal ambition to obtain public offices.
They declared, however, that
the interests of their party demanijed
that the government should not be
continued (in the form against which
they had revolted. Assurances were*
onVcm ih? rnmn ittee bv Mr. Taft that
w-~ Mr.
Magoon v ould . consider complaints
against any official, investigate 1
them and remove persons found unfit
to hold positions of responsibility
or trust, but that capable men
with good records would be retained.
The committee informed Governor
Taft that they intended to dissolve
at once.
Friday evening a committee represented
many Americans in Cuba presented
Messrs. Taft and Bacon with 1
an address expressing appreciation
for the great services they had done
for all residents of the island.

BRAND OF "COWARDS"
I
Put Upon His Opponents by Head of
Bottlers' Association?Row Ensues
Over Sitter Attack on Unions.
A sensational debate as to whether
the American Bottlers' Protective Association
should repudiate or endorse
the attack made by its president, Geo.
B. Hugo, upon labor unions, was precipitated
at the final business session
of the association in Atlanta Wednesday
morning. For half an hour worda
flew thick and hot* and for part of
the time directly between the president
and Walter Stapleton, a dejegate
irom Bridgeport, who opposed the expression
of Mr. Hugo's emphatic
views. As an outcome of the situa
lion, it was voted that President Hugo's
address should not be published
by the association in pamphlet form.
The dispute began when George W.
Tucker of Philadelphia moved a reconsideration
of a motion made Tuesday
that President Hugo's address be
printed in pamphlet form and sent to
every bottler in the United States.
Mr. Tucker alleged expense as his objection
to carrying cut the orders of
this motion.
After a few speeches on the motion
to reconsider Walter 'Stapleton of
Bridgeport sprang to his feet and j
said:
"Gentlemen, we are not here to
butt into other organizations. We
don't sell our goods to Vanderbilt and
Rockefeller. We sell to the working
man and if such ideas as were expressed
here yesterday go out over
the country approved by this association
you'll see mighty soon what our
customers among laboring classes will
do. Let's strike from our minutes every
word about anti-unionism. Don't
let us endorse any man who holds to
such opinions as the president uttered."
There was applause from parts of
the hall, but the cheering ceased as
President Hugo, leaving the chair, advanced
a few paces from the rostrum,
and said:
"You come here under the pretense
of opposing the publication of my
address on the ground that it would
cost too much. I was prepared to
meet that, for I was going to bear
the expense of publication myself.
But. that isn't ycur reason. You're
afraid, and you know it."
At this juncture Mr. Stapleton interrupted
with:
"You're act the whole association."
"I'm a part of it though," rejoined
the president, "and I'll stick to my
statements."
Then followed a denunciation of
unions mere bitter even than his
Tuesday's addiess.
"Any man." he said, "who willingly
signs an agreement to employ only
uuion men is a traitor to his country
aud free institutions. Any man who
signs it unwillingly is a coward and
whether he signs it willingly or unwillingly
he's a fool."
President Hugo then took a lunge
if camnei fJomnprs. Drerident of the
American Federation of Labor, and
declared:
"When Jompers goes to the government
and says that what he demands
must be granted, when he enters
politics and seeks to defeat honest
men because they don't uphold his
socialistic views, then the time has
come for self-respecting business men
to call a halt on him. Such institutions
as he represents must bt? killed. !
"And it can be," cried President
Hugo. "It's the biggest game of bluff
ever put up. It's simply a foreflusher's
game foisted upon the people and you
can call it if you'll only be men
enough not to lie down like a lot of
whipped curs."
"Out of twenty-eight millions of
working people in this country only
two millions belong to the union. That
makes about one man out of every 14
who is in the union. I say that if
you can't make your living out of
those 14 honest men, you ought to
go out of business. And if you don't
indorse these sentiments, I'll brand
Hie majority of this association as
cowards."
Fpur cities contested for the next
meeting place of the association?
Denver. Colo., Philadelphia, St Louis
and Rock Island, 111. Denver was selected.

was made public by Chairman Shonts*
who also gave out a letter written to

reasons tor contracting the
work. The contract provides that each
bidder must undertake the entire work
of construction. No bar will be ottered
to corporations associating in
t.te undertaking, but they must be
legally organized into a Single body
with which the government can deal.
Bidders will not be considered who
do net have capital of $5,000,000. A
bond of $200,000 is required with each
proposal anu bond of $3,000,000 will j
be required from the successful bid*
der. The bidding is not limited to I
American contractors. All proposals !
are to be in before neon of December j
12, when they will be opened.
Proposals are to be expressed in'
terms 6f percentage upon the estimated
cost of construction, which is
to be fixed by a board of five engi- ,
neers.

The engineering board will also es- j
timate a reasonable time for the completion
of the canal and will agree
upon a system of premiums and penalties
to be handed to the contractor
according as the work is completed
within or beyond the estimated cost
or time.
The contract specifies that the commission
is to retain control of all engineering
work in connection with
the taxation of the canal, also municipal
engineering, the police, sanitary,
hospital and commissary departments,
mess houses, quarters, construction
and maintenance of buildings,' operation
of the Panama railway.
Sixty days after signing the contract
actual work is to begin on the
isthmus. No American employee is to
work i?ore than eight hours.
Ckairman Shonts defends the percentage
system of payment in his letter
to Secretary Taft as follows:
"This plan is being employed increasingly
by the oldest, largest and
most successful corporations in the
country.
"The government will get the benefit
of the combined efforts of the best
and most experienced contractors in
the world, each in charge of a depart
ment in which he is a specialist ana
co-operating with other specialists.
"The government will secure the
co-operation of these contractors in
keeping mechanics of all classes.
"By retaining control of the work
and exercising strict supervision
through its engineering force, the
government will protect itself against
cheap or faulty work.
"The contract will be more flexible.
Finally a termination of the contract,
should it become necessary, will be
less disastrous to the contractors,
while a resumption of work would be
easier to the government on account
of its close relations thereto."
The canal, under the contract, can
be constructed with bettor results
than it can be done by the government,
Secretary Shonts says. It would
take the commission years to get |
men and build up departments equal
to those now controlled by the leading
contractors, according to the letter.

The contest was started in Febru- ^

have the prizes awarded on Apr. 30,
1906.
When the public announcement M
appeared many persons began to
form the words from these letters, *" ^
sometimes the whole family being .-f
occupied evenings, a combination of
amusement and education.
After a while the lists began to ^ |
come in to the Postum Office, and be- ' |||
fore long the volume grew until it
required wagons to carry the maiLv a
Many of the contestants were .|S
thoughtless enough to send their lists vfffl
with insufficient postage and for a' J|
period it cost the Company from *If
twenty-five to fifty-eight and sixty -^8
dollars a day to pay the unpaid postage.
Young ladies, generally those who J|
had graduated from the high school, .fa
were employed to eiamine these lists :;|1
and count the correct word3. }Vebster's
Dictionary was the standard,
"and each list was very carefully oor- ;-J!
rected, except those which fell below .J
8000, for It soon became clear that '
nothing below that could win. Some M
of the lists required the-work of ft
young lady for a solid week on each js
individual list. The work was done*
very carefully and accurately, but
the Company had no idea, at the time ?^
the offer was made, that the people ||1
would respond so generally, and they
were compelled to fill every available ||
space iq the offices with these young
lady examiners, and notwithstanding
they worked steadily, it was impossi- '.M
ble to complete the examination until % -Ji
Sept. 29, over six months after the ||
prizes should have been awarded.
This delay caused a great many
inquiries and naturally created some '"'M
dissatisfaction. It has been thought , |l
best to make this report in practi- . fil
cally all of the newspapers in the >!g
United States and many of the maga- '3a
zines in order to make clear to the
people the conditions of the contest.
Many li3ts contained enormous
numbers of words which, under the
rules, had to be eliminated. "Pegger"
would count, "Peggers" would
not. Some lists contained over 50,- ^
000 words, the great majority of Jj
which were cut out. The largest ||i
lists were checked over two and in
qorae cases three times to insure ac- :?j|
