biting child labor. The latter rea.l a long lis? of decisions rendered by federal and state courts against organized labor. A motion ti n,iw tin- li-t printed in the mi.uues brought President Gomrrs, who was Ii, t In the chair at the time, to his feet, and the delegates were treated to a threernlnute passionate speech. Ho said it was unfair to incori)rate the list in the minutes in that way. an.l suggested that a list of the trades union victories should be prinu d along with It. He conclud d by denouncing the "attempt to show that tracles-unloni-m i.s a failure." and ch tract rtzed It as an outrage. A wave of applause swejit over the convf ntlon as Mr. flornp'TS took his seat. The motion was defeated afttr "V. P. ViI50n had spoken along the same ground as Mr. (om; rs. and the recommendation of the iresi.ent wtrt ad opt d, except the one referring to a general defense fund. Thf committee's suggestion that the fund be ral-ed by national labor unions, instead of by the American Federation of Labor, was adopted. The negro question cam up when the committee on law reported a resolution compelling ail local unions affiliated with the federation to J"in the central labor bodies in their respective, localities. William Henry Clay, one of the two colored delegates from Virginia. mad' the point that the federation last week in deciding a contested seat where the color line was brought Into question had authorized the creation of a separate central union In Itlrhmond for colored workmen. The resolution was debated for more than an hour by many delegates. Charles C. Htkard, of the Anniston (Ala.) Trades Council, made the principal speech in opposition to the resolution. He said the proposition would compel white unions to take in negro s, and If adopted by the convention 'A per cent, of the unions south of Mason and I)ixon's line wouM secede from the federation. He declared the people of the North did not understand th negro problem. HU remarks had some influence on the deleKates and the resolution on the recommendation of the committee on laws was defeated. Two resolutions were reported on the question of organizing the common laborers into large unions, and both were recommended to be sent to the executive council with Instructions for that body to take up the matter and report at the next convention. Sp-echa were made by J. J. Forrister, of Akron. .. and the Rev. Sheldon A. Harri?, of Pwight, 111., in favor of the immediate adoption of one ef the resolutions, and President W. I). Mahon. of the street railway employes. V. II. Wilson, of the miners, a id Secretary Morrison favored referring the matter to the executive council. The latter action was taken. The Pacific coast delegates fought among themselves the proposition to drop all unions from state, national or international unions unless they join the American Federation of Labor. Th" measure was particularly aimed at the San Francisco building trades, which is at odds with the Central Labor l.'nion of that city. The committee on laws recommended that the matter be dropped on the ground that such a step would be unwise, and the convention adopted the recommendation. It was elecided that hereafter the annual conventions of the Federation shall be held on the second Thursday of November of each year. J. If. IJowman. of Chicago, presented a r solution instructing the president of the Federation to protest against the confirmation by the United States Senate of the appointment of Francis K. Raker as United States Circuit Judge in Indiana. The reason for th protest is that Raker is a son of Judge John II. Raker, of Indianapolis, who hail granted injunctions against some union workmen. Among the resolutions that were adopted were these: That legislatures be petitioned to enact a law to compel the constructors of machinery to cover all dangerous parts in such a way us to protect employes working around machinery; that no boycotts shall be declared until central labor unions have investigated the disputes and endeavored to affect an amicable settlement; that the government officials enforce the eighthour law on all government work in private ship yards. Resolutions proposing changes regarding the election of officials and selection of committees were defeated, n? was also a resolution proposing" a national defense fund for the benetit of strikers and lockedout men. The special committee on autonomy and the committee having charge of the socialistic resolutions were in session during the day and evening, and each probably will make Its report to-morrow.

Washington Special. With a thought to solid comfort the architects of the White House planned an open fireplace for almost every room in the house, but not since the furnaces were put in, years ago, have they been generally used until the advent of President Koosevelt and his family. Mrs. Roosevelt always has open fires in the rooms In which she receives her guests on reception days. The President and. In fact, the entire family uses the library more than has any President's family in many years, and an open fire glows on the hearth all the time. Each of the other living rooms have open grates, and they are kept in use most of the time. In the executive part of the White House the open fires also are used, and nothing so accentuates the Southern air of the White House as the carrying of coal in huge scuttles from room to room to replenish the fires. It is a matter of unceasing interest to the Northern-bred children of the President to watch the firemen keep the fire3 going. They are planning great times for Christmas, when corn-popping over the bright coals will be one of their amusements. Marie Good Their Escape.

Both men were fresh and fast at the finish, the decision resulting from clever blocks and clean lands by the quick colored man. Judge was angry at the decision and looked to have the best of it, though the defense of McWinters was at times marvelous. Blows in clinches were allowed and most of the work was done then. No blood or knock-down was recorded, but there was a volume of work in each round. John Burns, of Cincinnati, was behind Judge. Charles Marshall and George Monroe directed McWinters.

OUR FINE $18 OVERCOAT BALL MAGNATES ARGUE YESTERDAY'S SESSION A "WAIl OF WORDS MR. YOUXG SAYS. Mr Brush's Syndicate Scheme Agnln Under DIacnsston A Compromise Possible. NEW YORK, Dec. 12. An absolute deadlock exists over the selection of a president of the National League to succeed N. E. Young, and the magnates of the National League only argued to-day away at the Fifth-avenue Hotel. As announced by President Young at the conclusion of the day session, "no baseball history waa made as the outcome of the war of words." The sessions, each of several hours' duration, were held as usual to-day. The first was called at 3 o'clock and lasted until 6. The evening session began at S o'clock and was not over until late tonight. "Merely a reminiscence meeting." was the way one of the men referred to the heated debate of three hours which occurred In the afternoon. It was Faid, however, that the syndicate baseball scheme, which was defeated yesterday, was brought up again to-day and that over this the magnates argued pro and con, John T. Brush leading in the debate. Strenuously opposed to this measure were the Brooklyn. Philadelphia. Pittsburg and Chicago magnates. Behind Mr. Brush were errayed the men from Boston, New York and St. Louis. The chances that the Brush combination will win a victory are said to be very small. It is believed that some kind of a compromise is all that Mr. Brush can expect. The meeting adjourned at 11 o'clock. President Young announced that there was nothing for publication. It was aid, however, by one of the league magnates that during the night session a vote was taken on the presidency, with the result that the deadlock continued, the vote standing 4 to 4. "Kid" Nichols, the Boston pitcher, arrived in New York to-day with President Whitfield, of the Western League. He had a long consultation with A. H. Soden, of Boston, to-night. Nichols has been offered a half Interest in the Kansas City team with "Jimmy" Manning. The provision is. however, that he must play as well as manage the team. Nichols's visit here is for the purpose of securing his release from Boston. He wants to part with the Boston management n friendly terms. Mr. Soden promised to give him a definite answer to-morrow. A number of American League people, including Frank Dwyer. of Detroit, and "Jimmy" Collins, of Boston, are in town. It is said they will be joined by Comiskey, of Chicago, and one or two more American League men on Saturday. The significance of their presence could not be learned to-night. Freedman has demanded that the League make good his $1j.'M) guarantee for carrying Manhattan Field. By this it will be seen that Manhattan Field did not make a cent the past season. Two years ago Freedman forced the magnates to pay the rental of Manhattan Field, on the ground that If it was not carried along by the New York Club some rival organization might slip in and secure the ground?.

Recently published statistics of th saloon business In Indiana show that Indiana averages one saloon to every 273 inhabitants. Ivike county has the hlhet proportion, on to every 173 inhabitants. Rut two counties in the State are without saloons. They are IJrown county in the central part of the State, a county strongly Democratic In politics, and Steutwn county in the northeastern corner of the State, a county strongly Republican in politics. The ligures would indicate that temperance people are not alert in rant localities or the salons would be fewer, t'nder the present law local sentiment can control the granting of licenses, and In country districts, villages and towns there ought to te a wholesale suppression of saloons. In the larger cities with considerable foreign population accustomed to drinking, the puocessf ul oppoFltlon to saloons Is more difficult, yet even in Indianapolis there are a number of wards in which there are no saloons. The best l cal option law is ont that would permit the .uestion of licence to be submitted to a vote at each Statt election. Temperance would then bo mors alert and active. Miut Trent All Fairly.
