LABOR IS AGAINST THE GILBERT BILL

Gompers Declares It Would Be Worse Than No Legisla tion at All. FIGHT IS UP TO CANNON. . THE SPEAKER IS SAID TO BE PUSHING THE MEASURE AS AMENDED PROGRAM IS OUTLINED. "Washington, Dec. 29. (Spl. The indications are that Newton W. Gilbert, of Indiana, will not go down in history as the author of a law to refrain the power of federal courts In issuing injunctions. During the last few days the division in the ranks of labor with retogether and have determined to take a firm and aggressive stand against the movement to pass the Gilbert bill, which they call a bunco game, pure and simple. When the men who con - trol the policy of congress return toi Washington they will be surprised by the determination manifested by thej oposition of labor, who have turned j on the identical individuals who are ! pretending to offer them relief. Interest in the situation was increased today when President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor gave an Interview to The Star correspondent, in which he declared with all the emphasis at his command that there Is no good motive behind the movement to enact the Gilbert bill. Gompers is Emphatic. "From the standpaint of the laboring people," said he, "the Gilbert bill whether amended or not, would be fari worse than no legislation at all. There i is now no law on the statute books J authorizing the insurance of injunc j tions. If the Gilbert bill is past this pernicious practice will receive the sanction of law." While the statesmen are at home enjoying the festivities of Christmas week, the men who speak and act for the organized labor of the country are getting their heads together and making plans to knock out the Gilbert posed legislation. It was attended by the chief executive of the various brotherhoods of railroad employes. Those present were W. S. Stone, of Cleveland, grand chief engineer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers; John Hannahan of Peoria, grand mas ter of the Locomotive Firemen; A. B. Garretson, of Cedar Rapids, grand 1 chief conductor of the Order of Railroad Conductors; P. H. Morrissey, of Cleveland, grand master of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, and H. R. Fuller, national legislative representative of all the railroad men's brotherhoods. Stripped of Force. Mr. Fuller, who has just returned from the conference, said today: "The Gilbert bill and the proposed amendment to it furnished the leading topic of discussion at the conference It was reported on undisputable authority that the leaders of both branches of congress have decided to pass the Gilbert bill, which provides for a notice before an injunction can be issued, after amending it so that notice ; may be waived by tne judged If he , deems that there is immediate danger of destruction of life or property. "The general opinion expressed at the conference was that there was less of substance in the Gilbert bill, as originally proposed, than In any other j injunction measure that ever came before congress and that the effort to j amend it was nothing less than an attempt to take away from it the last bit of force that it contains. It was agreed that the labor leaders of the j country will not tolerate this exhibi tion of buncombe for a moment. THE T. P. A. IS ACTIVE PROPOSES NEW STATUTE Wants Indiana Legislature to Designate Sample Cases as Baggage Meeting of the Legislation Committee. Muncie, Ind., Dec. 29, (Spl.) Messrs Andrew Jackson, of Marion; P. J. O'Meara, of Indianapolis, state president of the T. P. A.; . Ben G. Thompson, of Evansville, and James G. Thomas, of this city, a committee of the state T. P. A., are in Evansville where they will confer with representatives of the Indiana railroads relative to a revision of baggage rates now in force and for the purpose of drafting a measure which will be presented "before the legislature when it convenes soon in the interest of the traveling men. Owing to some peculiarity in the construction of the laws of the state the railroads are-not compelled to carry the sample cases of a traveling man as baggage and he must pay any rate which the company may demand or send his trunks by express. This right of the railroad to fix the baggage rates Is said to be sadly abused, and the patient drummer has at last revolted. This condition of affairs has existed only for about two years. Up to four years ago the railroads fixed the rates, but a bill was passed in the Indiana legislature that does not class sample trunks as baggage. ;

FOR ANOTHER EXCHANGE

STOCKS TRADED ON CURB Latest Proposal is That Such Should be Listed This Includes a Number of Well Known Industrial Incorporations. Publishers' Press. New York. uec. 29. A. third stock market in New York city may be the outcome cf a movement on foot among produce exchange members, which Is to come before the board of managers. The project contemplates the organization of a new branch of the exchange for dealing in securities. As far as the plans have gone this branch of the produce exchange will differ from the consolidated exchange, in that it will trade In stocks not listed on the stock exchange, and will differ from the curb market in having an official list of securities, to which no stocks will be admitted until after careful Investigation by the proper authorities. There is a large number of the stocks of well known industrial corporations, chief among them the Standard Oil company, which are not I "stea on tne stock exchange, and j which are traded in only on the curb j market. This market has grown to i large proportions. i DETAILS OF THE YAOUIJASSACRE Frightful Orgy of Mexican Indians at a Railroad Town in the Far West. TEN PERSONS KILLED TWO OTHERS WERE ALSO SHOT AND THREE WOMEN WERE TAKEN AWAY CAPTIVES TO THE STRONGHOLD OF TRIBE Publishers' Press.J Bisbee, A. T., Dec. 29. Ten mei, women and children were murdered Dy ine ialuls aurmg ineir oumreaKs Dec. 22. The Indians also shot two others and took three women away captives to their stronghold in the hills, after destroying the new town of Iancho. The Indians retired after nearly two hours of plunder, riot and arson, being frightened away by a work train from Guaymas. Soldiers from a fort fcearby entered the town 15 minutes later. Lancho was a railway station with a box car for the depot and telegraph office, surrounded by tents occupied by 50 Mexican laborers and their families. The only Americans in the place were the station master, Thompson, and his family, and two American well drillers. At the first alarm the well drillers fled to the fort and gave an alarm. Thompson, his wife and their 5-year-old boy crawled under a plank walk that lay between two tents in which they were living and remained there while the tents, not 15 feet away, were looted and burned. The Indians first made an attack on the store and cantina, run by an Italian. While the Indiana drank mescal from his cantina .and plundered the place, they slowly tortured him to death. The Italian's wife a Mexican woman, was tortured Witn flre The house was tnen burned. tne bodies along with it. The station agent and his family lay under the piank waik ana- listened to the shrieks of tne tortured The Indians did not follow the Inhabitants who escaped from the town, but contented themselves with the murder and tortur6 f prisoners captured in the first charge. A woman and her children lay flat upon a box car and escaped observation. The whistle of the work train from Guaymas gave warning of Its approach and the Yaquis hastily left. General Torres arrived at the scene of the massacre next day and took charge of the organization of a punitive expedition. Pensy's Big Season.

WAS HQ PROFIT III THE DEALINGS

So Declares Fairchild in Reference to the Transactions Under Inquiry. TALKS OF THE - CASE HIS VERSION OF THE STOCK DEALS WHICH LED TO ACTION OF GRAND JURY AGAINST HIM AND PERKINS. Publishers' Press.J Rome, Dec. 29. Charles S. Fairchild, former secretary of the United States treasury who, with George W. Perkins of New York was indicted on charges of forgery in the third degree In connection with the affairs of the New York Life Insurance company, has been in this city three weeks. When informed of the actios taken by the grand jury Fairchild said: "I have just received a cable message from my lawyers in the United States, giving me sj summarized report of the proceedings.' I shall answer that I personally derived no profit from the transactions on which the indictments are based, which were entirely for the benefit of the policyholders of the New York Life Insurance company. The matters referred to are probably In connection with the Chicago & Northwestern and St. Paul railroad securities, of which the insurance company held large amounts. Under its by-laws the compan3 it was believed, must remove the stocks from its assets. It could not sell such large amounts of inactive stocks without serious loss, and apparently requested the trust company, of which I am president, to take these stocks and hold them until an advantageous sale could be made. j The books of the trust company show j that these stocks were taken. Subse- ; quently, for some reason, the holdings j were changed into the form of loans to individuals and later, I am told, the stocks were sold with a profit of several hundred thousand dollars to the policyholders of the Insurance company, with no profit or advantage to any other company or individual. The transaction occurred long ago, and I can not now be certain about the details. What I state is based on a recent inspection of the books of the trust company and from statements made to me by others. I have no recollection of any affair connected with Prussian bonds." Fairchild is awaiting developments and Is ready to return to New York Immediately if necessary. Wreck In Scotland. Dundee, Scotland, Dec. 29. The vicinity of the railroad collision near Arbroath presents a scene of havoc and desolation. One of the overturned locomotives and parts of the wreckage of the telescoped coaches protrude from snowdrifts, but the tracks were cleared sufficiently to permit of traffic being resumed. The fireman of the wrecked express died in- the hospital where the dead and injured were taken. Two of the injured passengers also succumbed as the result of exposure in the snow, before being succored, raising the total number of deaths to 19. Various eye witnesses of the accident agree that the blinding snowstorm obscured both trains until they were actually on the point of colliding. Sanguinary Situation at Lodz. Lodz, Dec. 29. The situation here is rapidly becoming acute. Sanguinary encounters are frequent, six persons have been killed and 12 wounded. The authorities, at first supine, are more active and are preparing to meet all emergencies. It is generally anticipated that the workmen will eventually secure the upper hand over the Socialists, drive out the agitators and resume work within a few days. The principal Polish banks say they do not fear any financial difficulties among the firms forced to close down their works. Two Cardinals Die Suddenly. Rome, Dec. 29. Cardinal Cavagnis and Cardinal Tripepi died of apoplexy. Cardinal Luigi Tripepi was the prefect of congregation of indulgences and sacred relics. He was born in Italy in 1836 and was created a cardinal In 1901. Cardinal Felice Cavagnis was born in Italy in 1841 and was created a cardinal in 1901. Cardinal Cavagnis was found dead in bed.

THE ORIGIII OF RADIUM

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY American Association for the Advance ment of Science Hears an Interest ing Announcement Supply Has Not Been increased. Publishers Press. Iew o. ,;. Announcement was mad before the physics section of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, in session here, of an important discovery relative to radium. It has been suggested that radium is a derivative of another chemical element, and in Its present state merely temporarily. Uranium was set down as the parent element. Dr. Bertram D. Boltwood and Professor W. F. Rutherford read papers demonstrating that radium can be obtained from actinium, which is itself a derivative of uranium. This discovery about the wonderful element may lead to remarkable results. Professor Rutherford holds that "uranium Is the Methusaleh of radium," and doubtless many generations between uranium and actinium, and actinium and radium, of which as yet nothing is known. Professor Rutherford said that the discovery would not increase the supply of radium. Porto Rican's Defi. San Juan, P. R., Dec. 29. R.

Cintron says that citizenship without selfgovernment has no value and is even debasing.

"Prepare yourselves to win liberty with sword and gun." Wages of Sin. South Bend, Ind., Dec. 28. Following a quarrel. David Armstrong, formerly of Dowagiac.

ATHENS RIOT TO COT A FIGURE

It Will be Drawn into the Controversy in Reference to the Soldiers. BOTH SIDES POST UP IT IS CHARGED THAT REGULARS AT THE STATE MANEUVERS WERE NOT SUMMARILY DEALT WITH. Publishers' Pres. Athens, O., Dec. 29. The riot In this city during the military maneuvers in 1904 is to figure in the contest between the president and Senator Foraker over the discharge of the colored battalion of the Twenty-fifth regiment because of the Brownsville "shooting up." It became keewn that both sides w the controversy are t securing transcripts of the records of the case. This riot grew out of the hostile feeling between members of the state militia and the regular troops detailed to take part in the maneuvers. It culminated in a detachment of regulars shooting down one of a picket of soldiers of the state and wounding others. The consequence M as the trial and convieiicn of several culprits. The indicted soldiers arraigned for trial were defended In part by representatives of the army. This caused Congressman Grosvenor to send a letter to Washington in which he declared that the government was being used to protect murderous blackguards. It is understcod that the first advance toward securing the records was made by those in league with Senator Foraker. The purpose is to show that the secretary of war has not, according to th5 negro soldiers, shown tbe same sympathetic treatment as was shown white soldiers. Following the inquiry on the part of representatives of Senator Foraker came a second from the other side. The president's representatives secured evidence . to protect themselves against any surprise. Ghastly Crime. Mount Carmel, Pa., Dec. 29.
