GOMPERS WARNS
MANUFACTURERS
Says Lives Of Workingmen
Count For Nothing In The
United States
HORSE OF MORE VALUE
Head" Of American Federation
Of Labor Before Congres
sional Committee
Washington, Sept. 12 Samuel Gom
pers, president of the American Fed
eration of Labor, closed bis two days'
testimony before the House lobby com
mittee last night with a dramatic
warning to the manufacturers of the
country, a defense of the legislative
activities of the Federation and a bit
ter attack upon the Sherman anti
trust law as applied to labor unions.
Gompers spoke at the end. of a day
devoted to an inquiry into the po
litical and legislative efforts of the
! Federation. He began with a state
ment that in the United States, which
has "burst" into industrial life, there
is no feeling between employer and
: employe such as is found in European
nations where Industrial life has to
some extent taken the place of serf
dom and of relations between master
and man the product of centuries. In
I Europe he said- this transition aiad
been accompanied by a deep feeling
for the employe, and in conesquenee
those countries were decades ahead of
the United States in legislation for
the protection of the lives of work
ingmen. 'The lives of workingmen count for
nothing In the United States," said be.
'"It seem to me that the life of a
, horse is of more value than the ljfe
o tinmiui hniner to our manufactur
ers. If this slaughter does not end
I do not know what our mausmao,
commercial, political and particularly
our human life, will come to." The
manufacturers of this country, he add
ed, are opposed all acts of legislation
designed to protect the workingmen.
Reviewing at some length the court
decisions against labor organizations
tinder the Sherman act, the witness
said: '
"The federation exists at the suf
ference of an administration. Under
the Sherman law and the procedure
of the courts, the normal activities of
the association in the exercise of pow
er no; more than the individual exer
cises every day the power to with
hold patronage are restrained, and
three-fold damages can be claimed
and obtained.
Tt seems to . me the law Is a, bit
a&ketr or otherwise it would not per
mit such a thing," he added with a
shake of his head.
The witness testified that he had
recommended to the house committee
the appointment of either Representa
tive Lewis of Maryland or Represen
tative Buchanan of Illinois as chair
man of the labor committee. Lewis
was appointed, although not the high
est man on the list of Democratic
members.
He was asked at length about Mar
tin Mulhall's effort to get the fed
eration to print his now famous let
ters and about his relations with Rep
resentative McDerrrxjtt, one of the
men involved by Mulhall. Gompers
said McDermott had been most in
'sistent that he take up the Mulhall
letters, hut feared at that time that
Mulhall's supposed repentance was
not genuine and only a ruse to get
the federation in the clutches of the
tuto Ti-n-f iirrrf association.
Mr. Gompers added to Wednesday's
testimony by stating that the leaer
stion spent about $1,600 in its cam
paign against the re-election of form
er Representative Charles, E. Llttle
fieM of Maine in 1908. The "lobby
ing" done by the federation, he
thought, was Justified and in the open.'

VISITING SCHOOL.
Formerly if a parent visited school,
a. tremor of awe and embarrassment
swept around. The unfortunate "off
spring of the venturesome parent was
pestered at recess, for his mother's
unwillingness to let him out of her
sight.
The parental visit to the school
- room is a little more common nowa
days. It is admitted to be the cor-
rect thing to do. But as a whole the
' parents are more interested in in
fspecting the waists and shoes the
-' children are buying than the interior
. furnishing with which their heads are
r being stocked.
Most parents can't seem to give the
children much help on there books
now. Or if they try it, the children
say they are "mixed up" by old-time
terms and processes.
Nevertheless, the parent ought to
. be rsore than a passive factor. Bet-
' ter look around at the school house,
see how the kidlets are doing.
There may not be any more nouns and
verbs like you were taught. But
you should be able to form some idea

BRANFGRD LOSES
H0TED CITIZEN
Ralph Blackstone, 91 Years Of
Age, Came Of Famous Old
Family There
In the passing of Ralph Blackstone,
Branford has lost its oldest resident,
and in many respects one of the most
remarkable men who have ever lived
in the town. Mr. Blackstone was born
In the old Blackstone home March 22,
1823, a descendant in the sixth degree
from the Rev. William Blackstone, the
first white settler of Boston, who was
a graduate' in 1617 of Emanuel College,
Cambridge, England. He was also in
the fifth degree from the famous Eng
lish Jurist and was a second cousin
to, F. B. Blackstone, to whom Bran
ford is indebted for her beautiful li
brary. In fact of such extreme in
terest and importance is the lineage of
the Blackstone family that a large
volume containing only a history of
this family jvas printed in 1907, writ
ten by John Wilford Blackstone of
Minneapolis, Minn. Principal among
Mr. Blackstone's own characteristics
was his extreme fondness for nature,
the eea and all kinds of cattle. Al
ways living apart from the town prop
er Mr. Blackstone reigned supreme in
his little farm-world near the sound,
and his individual existence created
about him a certain fascination t and
interest for all. Of his character and
personality the highest words of praise
can conscientiously, be paid. This
"grand old man" of the town lived a
quiet, uneventful life, and possessed
the matured wholesome . charm with
which only the venerable are gifted.
He was an excellent story teller and
with his own personal experiences at
war time, was able to give a delight
ful atmosphere to his every tale. Mr.
Blackstone always preserved his cheer
ful disposition, not being an old man
"in the way" sense.
His funeral was held Wednesday af
ternoon from his late home in Hotch
kiss Grove, Rev. George Weed Bar
hydt officiating. . The interment was
in the Center cemetery. The services,
like all events in Mr. Blackstone's life,
were simple but sincere,
KIDNAPPING FEARED
Believed That- "Big Tim" Sullivan. May
Be Held For Ransom.
New York, SeptJ 13 Fears of (his
family and his friends that "Big Tim"
Sullivan, missing since August 31, has
been kidnapped, were revealed " when
It became known that another such
attempt by men posing as friends of
the Bowery politician in order to rob
him had been almost carried out last
winter.
Two other new features of the re
markable case were the story of how
the representative tried to leap into
the ocean while returning from Eur
ope aboard the Imperator recently, and
a. statement, believed to be reliable,
that Mr. Sullivan wasJn Fifth ave
nue, near Twenty-seventh street, last
Sunday night. . -
The first attempt to kidnap "Big
Tim" was what finally convinced his
family that they must overcome their
prejudices against court proceedings
and have Mr. Sullivan declared in
competent. Although unsuccessful in carrying
Mr. Sullivan off, the four would-be
kidnappers succeeded in obtaining
about $50,000 from the representative,
who is worth about $4,000,000.
GOAT KIDNAPPED
Warrants Clzzt For Arrest of Two
'' ' ' Prominent Shriners.
New Orleans, Sept. 12 Two Shrin
ers of Hella temple, Dallas, Texas,
"kidnapped" Osman temple's goat yes
terday when the mascot was released
from quarantine after Its return from
Panama. When the Osman temple
Shriners" of St. Paul went to claim
the animal they discovered two Dallas
Shriners already had obtained "Li'l
Arthur," eluding pursuit until they
boarded a train for Texas. The goat
is said to be the property of J. Harry
Lewis of St. Paul.
After a consultation with two indig
nant St. Paul Shriners Assistant Dis
trict Attornep Daly filed informations
charging Currie McCutcheon, district
attorney of Dallas county, Texas, and
Paul Vaudeveldln of Dallas, Texas, of
larceny and having possession of stol
en property. "IA1 Arthur" is valued at
$100, real money, "and $1,000,000
sentimentality." The local police tele
graphed to the police of Shreveport to
intercept "the goat" when the train
from this city arrived there.
MAN AND WIFE DEAD.
West Hartford Gas Poisoning Case
Was Accident.
Hartford, Sept. 12 Patrick Bro
derick and Elizabeth, his wife, aged
inmates of St. Mary's home in West
Hartford, were found dead in bed yes
terday from gas poisoning. The med
ical examiner pronounced death to be
accidental. Mrs. Broderick was ill
and her husband had been caring for
her. It is supposed that after turning
off the gas he in some way struck the
cock, turning it on again. They leave

HIS SPECIES.
The teacher in a country school al
ways tried to make the lesson as in
teresting as possible, relates Lipswa
cotfs. "Now, children," she said, "let
me see what you remember about the
animal kingdom and the domestic an
imals that belong to it. Tou have
named all the domestic animals but
one. Who can tell what that one is?"
There was no reply. "What!" exclaim,
ed the teacher. "Does no one know?
It has bristly hair, likes the dirt and
is fond of getting into the mud." A
small boy at the end of the class rais
ed a timid hand. "Well, Allan?" said
the teacher. "Please, ma'am," said the
little boy reflectively, "it's me." Troy

Boston, Sept. 12 Those who oppose
the $67,500,000 bond issue by the New
Haven railroad will have an oppor
tunity to state their objections today.
The Public Service Commission tern,
porarily suspended, the questioning of
"Vice-President Kochersperger yester
day until the New Haven has furnish
ed the commission with statements of
the income account and other figures
relating to equipment account.
"After this statistical conference has
been completed," said Chairman Mac
Leod, "the public hearings upon this
phase of the question will be resumed.
In the meantime the general hearing
will proceed uninterruptedly."
Through an exchange of telegrams
between President Elliott of the New
Haven and J. P. Morgan & Co., if
fwas made known last night that the
fiscal agents had furnished the New
Haven, the Boston and Maine and the
Maine Central railroads for refunding
and other purposes the sum of $168,
627,000 since November 17, 1910. On
this the banking 'house received com

It was also given out that Morgan
& Co. if it . underwrites the $87,500,000
debenture issue will receive a total
possible profit of $212,587.
These figures came from Morgan &
Co., in response to the following tele
graphic inquiry by President Elliott:,
"In view of questions raised before
the Public Service Commissioners of
Massachusetts, if you do not object to
stating and making known the 'parti
culars, -will you kindly inform me as

since the date of your fiscal agency
agreements and also as to your pos
sible profits under your "pending conj
tracts for the proposed new ( deben
tures?" ;
The reply from J. P. Morgan & Co.
was as follows:

HORSE PULLED THE ATR CORD.
And Pat the Railroad Schedules Out
Of Order.
"Who pulled that cord and cut off
the air?" asked the conductor of
freight train No.' 48, on the Pennsyl
vania railroad, when the train sudden
ly came to a stop two miles east of
Johnstown station yesterday after
noon. All the brakemen denied
bringing the train to a stop. The
train started again, and when it had
gone about A mile the air was cut off
again and the train came to a second
stop.
A search of the train was made. Not
finding any trespassers, the conductor
ordered the engineer to start the train
again. Before the train had gone a
half-mile the air was mysteriously cut
off again and the train came to a
sharp stop for a third time.
Again the crew made an investiga
tion and the conductor became angry.
Everything was found to be intact on
the train, and the conductor ordered
the crew to take positions along the
top of the freight cars.
The train had gone about a mile
when the air cord was pulled again in
some mysterious manner and the train
brought to another stop. ' The crew
reported that they had been unable to
observe anything wrong.
"That train must be haunted," said
the conductor. "We must find out
what is wrong."
A brakeman in passing a ear in
which was a horse observed its head
over the emergency cord. The emer
gency, cord was adjusted so that the
horse could not get its head over it,
and the train proceeded.
The schedule on the western divis
ion was thrown out of order for near
ly two hours by. the "spook" horse.

WHITE MOUNTAIN
WAS SIDESWIPED
Something Sticking Out Of A
Freight Train Hit Her Near
Wallingford Passen
gers Had A Scare
The White Mountain express of the
New Haven road leaving New York
at 9 o'clock was sideswiped by a
freight train five miles north of Wal
lingford at 11:45 o'clock last night.
No one was hurt, tout two hundred
passengers who felt the bump piled
out of the express to the. edges of the
track. The baggage car and the pas
senger coach at the front of the train
were scraped and broken.
Only a few minutes before at West
Haven, the White Mountain train was
held for seven minutes after a signal
delay, for the rearend brakeman to
catch up. The wait was enough to
startle most of the nervous passengers
out of their berths and the jam and
rattle of the sideswiping brought the
rest of them to the platforms.
When it was found there was no
loss of life the freight and the express
went on their way.
The first two cars of the express
were splintered JeIow the windows.
The only explanation given to passen
gers was that "something stuck out
of the freight train that shouldn't."

FIRST SUIT IN
NEW HAVEN WRECK
Miss Jean Stoddard Of New
York Asks $50,000
Damages
New ""fork, Sept. 12 Miss Jean Stod
dard, victim of the railroad wreck at
North Haven, Conn., has entered suit
against the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad in the United
States district court for $50,000 dam
ages. This action is believed to be
the first of many similar suits grow
ing out of the disaster which. .killed
over a score of persons and in.iured
about 30.
Miss Stoddard is a trained nurse
from England and lives temporarily
at 57 East 59 th street. She says that
on the morning of the wreck she oc
cupied a berth in a sleeper of the Bar
Harbor express on which she was re
turning here from Mount Kineo, Me.
When the train was struck by the
White Mountain express she says that
she sustained a fractured pelvis, in
juries on the head and body and a
deep gash on the right cheek. She
says that she will be crippled for life.
The plaintiff asserts that the wreck
was due to carelessness In the opera
tion of swift moving trains and dan
ger signals and that the loss of life
and injuries were added to by the
road's failure to provide steel cars.
POTATO CROP
BIG ENOUGH TO
MEET DEMANDS
Washington, Sept. 12 While potatoes
will not be a drug on the .market, this
year, consumers need not fear that
there will not be enough to meet de
mands. In a special report, today,
on the potato outlook, L. C Corbett.
of the department of agriculture, de
clared that while the total was vastly
less than last year it will be suffi
cient to supply normal needs.
The shrinkage in this year's crop is
ascribed to the heavy hold-over crop
from last season, the low prices and
the general demoralization of the po
tato trade which caused a reduction
in acreage.- -
Indications are that Maine will pro-
fcTuee "The - lx,getrcrop ever recorded.
while Michigan, Wisconsin,-Minnesota
and North Dakota, will harvest a nor
mal crop. The yields In. Connecticut,
New York and! Ohio promise to be
light.

TAYLOR WANTS
PROGRESSIVES
TO QUIT FIGHT
But They Yole Down His Motion
To Abandon Project Ot
Full City Ticket
Former Town Chairman Melius
Seconds Taylor's Proposi
tion Zink Succeeds
sus
At a convention, which was really
a mass meeting and which filled the
rooms of the Progressive club to the
doors last night the Progressive party
of Bridgeport decided to withhold nom
inating a city ticket for the coming
election until after the Democrats and
Republicans have held their primaries.
George H. Zink, Jr., was elected town
chairman for the year and he presid
ed. Because of the warm discussion over
whether or not a ticket should be plac
ed in the field, a tentative platform
which had been prepared was not dis
cussed. A number of the men who
were most prominent in the Progres
sive movement at the last election, op
posed putting a full ticket in the field.
G. E. South worth, James H. Ker
shaw and J. J. Devlin had expressed
themselves as in favor of having a
Citizens' ticket.; John Taylor opposed
this plan. He said in part:
"We cannot have a Roosevelt in a
Bridgeport campaign. I helped to
finance the last campaign and it cost
us $3,800 to get out 3.80O votes and
about $2,600 of that money was col
lected by myself. Tou have no idea
where the money Is to come from to
get out the vote. I know, something
about the money situation. I am as
much a Progressive as I was a year
ago. At the election the other day
in Maine the Progressive party did not
poll half the vote it did the year be
fore and there has not been a single
election won for the party in Michigan.
I would like to see Progressive govern
ment in Bridgeport but I see no hopes
of raising the money to finance a cam
paign. TAYLOR.
"We do not want to put a. ticket in.
the field Just to please our Democrat
ic friends and I would move that we
have no ticket this fall."
This motion was seconded' by George
EL Melius, the former, town chairman
of the party Who cautioned the party
about laying itself open to ridicule
by going, into the field with e. ticket
at a city election - which was much
different from a state or national
campaign.
Ferdinand Fox declared he was In
favor of a straight Progressive ticket
to be named after the primaries ot
the Democrats and Republicans.
"I believe the bitterest enemies of
the Progressives are the Republicans.
Mr. Taylor says we ought not to help
the Democrats. Well, I see no rea
son why we should- help John T. KJns.
The majority of the Democratic party
are thinking electors as are the ma
jority of the Republicans and I d.
not se? why we should not have thenv
all with us. I would rather go down'
as a Progressive than help any party."
The motion was then put to vote
and lost and the convention adjourned
to meet again at the call of Town
Chairman Melius.
STATE BUSINESS MEN
WILL ENTER POLITICS
Directors at Hotel Garde Meeting De
cide to Fight For Their
Interests.
The directors of the State Business
Men's Association met at the Gar-do
Hotel yesterday and discussed' during
the morning several matters of im
portance to the organization. Lunch
eons and. an hour's" discussion as to
business men's associations consolidat
ing with chambers of commerce and
boards of trade finished the day. The
next meeting of the directors will hn
held in Meriden on October 15, this
being the final meeting before the
annual gatherings of the association.
The bylaws of the state association
provide that its membership shall In
clude only associations of business
men. In several cities of the State
the business men's association have
metged with larger bodies and rrnr.
their' entity. As to whether or not
they should be allowed membership in
the State association under the, pr"ent
by-law formed the theme of discus
sion, and after a long talk, the mat
ter was left in the hands of a com
mittee of .five to be appointed by the
president.
President S. E. Vincent of; Bridgeport
presided over the session, which was
attended by twenty-five directors t-.t
the association from the citia ani
towns of the State. They dJcuei
broadening the work of the associa
tion by entering actively into politico,
and decided to broach this matter at
the annual meeting in Meriden on Oc
tober 16. There are many things po
litical which affect the business mn
of the State intimately, and the di
rectors felt that the association shoul'l
have some part in conserving the In
terests of its members. Such thln
as highway improvements, the saje of
worthless securities, by irresponsible
agents, the proposed Increase of de-.
murrage rate for cars, from $1 to $A '
and other legislative matters should
be watched closely by the business
men. President Vincent's annual re
port will enter into these-things very
intimately and recommend changes of
much importance.
A free discussion of the currency
bill wsjs held, and on request of the :
national chamber l commerce, of ;
which the State Buafness Men's As
sociation, is a member, a comm!tt '
of five to be appointed by the presi
dent will submit the opinion of th
State Board to it, through T. 3. Valen
tine of Derby, Secretary of the Association.
