URGED TO STAND FIRM.
Strikers at HaverhiH Addressed on Tenn
perance and Trades Unionism.


Haverhill, Mass, Jan. 1.-The demon
was by far the largest of it's kind ever
held here. Five or six thousand shoe
workers and their sympathizers paraded
the principal streets, while fireworks and
decorations greeted the men as they
marched.
The procession made its way to the city
hall, where a mass meeting was held.
]. M. Carey, president, introduced Miss
Frances e. Willard, president of the
National Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, who delivered stirring address,
urging the women to continue their work
OF organization. She expressed SYM
pathy with the working people and adj
vised them, in their struggles for their
rights, to maintain the respect of their
fellowmen, which could be accomplished
in no better way than by the absolute re-
fusal to have anything to do with intox-
icants.
Lady Somerset was then introduced.
She said that while she was unable to
discuss the local aspect OF this matter,
she knew the strikers We're making a
night for manhood and womanhood and
urged them to stand out persiStently
against the greatest tyranny the world
has ever known-the modern capitalist.
She made an eloquent appeal for trade
unions among women, and told what it
had accomplished for women in England.
Mrs. Henry Hicks of London, spoke of
the working peoples condition in England
and expressed her sympathy with all
movements to better their condition
everywhere.
Local labor leaders followed these
speakers and the meeting closed amid
great enthusiasm.

minent citizen, three weeks ago, while
burglariZing his house on Hawthorne
avenue. They give their names as

Thomas Grant, laborer. ]. Johnson,
a carpenter, and Harry Gruninger, a
small merchant, were also arrested.
The names of none of them except the
last two can be found in the city direc-
tory. Johnson. who at one time was
private detective, and later a police
man, made a statement of what he
knows this afternoo.
He implicated Pearson and Grant.
They broke into the house and were sur
prised by Price, who awoke. John
son says that one of them shot and
wounded Mr.. Price, who still pressed
them closely, whereat the two shot
several bullets into him and killed him.
The detectives will not reveal who
Penson and Grant really are.

MIGHT TAKE A HAND
GOVERNOR YOUNG DISCUSSES
JUDGE BUOHWALTER.

Grumbles Nightly at What He Calls a vio-
lation of the Constitution of the United
States and of Comfy Between the States
If the Matter is Pressed too Hard He
the Matter Worse, Hampton Has Ac-
knowledged the Substantial Fact
Hamptons Chances Not Estimated.
CINCINNATI, Jan. IA special to the
Commercial Gazette from Frankfort,
KY, says:
Governor John Young Brown tonight
gave out what he had to say OF the re-
fusal yesterday of Judge Buchwalter to
deliver to a Kentucky officer the colored
man, Rev. A. Hampton, alias Jackson,
who was captured in Avondale colored
Baptist church last Sunday night on n
requisition from Governor Brown,
granted by Governor Mckinley, to de-
liver Hampton to the state of Ken
lucky to answer for the charge of
shooting with intent to kill. Governor
Brown says that Judge Buchwalter'S
condition for returning Hampton-that
the governor of Kentucky and the sher-
if shall first give written guarantee
that he will be protected from mob vi
olence-jf true as reported, contravenes
the constitution of the United States
which requires the states to surrender
fugitives from justice.
The refusal was the more exasperat-
ing in view of the fact that the prison.
er Hampton admitted the fact of the
accusation against him for which he
was wanted in Kentucky. The gov
hnf nd G
arraignment of the state of Kentucky
was unwarranted in reason and in fact,
and was to be regretted as the tendency
of it was to have an influence to de-
stroy comfy between the states. Ex-
asperated people in Kentucky and
Ohio had resorted to mob violence only
in extreme cases, yet the civil au-
thorities in every case endeavored to
let the law have its course. Moreover,
there is not wanting report that
Judge Buchwalter made no effort tore
Duke the violence of the mob that on
Sunday night attempted to rescue
Hampton from the officers when they
arrested him.
His demand Of the guarantee of Ken
lucky officials is an attempt to amend
the law of the nation on this mater. 1t
assumes authority not thought of by
Governor Mckinley and annulS Gov
ernor MckinIey'S warrants as well as
violates federal law. The logic of such
decision if made a rule, would be to
make for Kentucky fugitive5 from JUS
tice an asylum in Ohio. His self re-
spect and his regard for the dignity of
the state Of Kentucky would forbid that
he should ever give any such hurlili-
ating guarantee. Hampton is in no
danger of mob violence and never was
in any danger of it.
Governor Brown does not believe that
the judiciary q Ohio will uphold Buch-
walter in these views. But if they
should be adopted as rule he might re-
taliate when acquisitions were made
on him for fugitives from Ohio.
