WORKED THE ENVELOPE TRICK
How a swIndIer Secured "a 5000 Diamond
for So.


WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Dec. 15.-A well
dressed stranger entered Heyer's jewelry
store yesterday afternoon and asked to see
some diamonds. He purchased one valued
at 500. He was short in cash and de-
posted So, telling the proprietor to put
the diamond in an envelope and he would
call later. When ho made his second call
at the store he said that he was ready to
take the diamond. He pulled out u large
roll of bills and the proprietor, thinking
he had sufficient funds to pay for the stone,
handed him the envelope, which the
stranger put in his overcoat pocket.
The would be purchaser, however, had
only 1925. He offered check for the bal
ance, which was refused. Then he said he
would go out to the bank and get the
check cashsd. He pulled from his pocket
what was supposed to be the envelope
containing the diamond and handing it to
the jeweler said; you keep this till I re-
turn with the balance of the money" The
stranger then put his Sl25 in his pocket
and walked out of the store. Not return
ing the envelope was opened for the pur-
pose of putting the diamond back in the
tray, when 1t was discovered a swindle
had been perpetrated The envelope left by
the stranger contained II paste ring valued

EEhIlOb Dill NeAb
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-The final vote
on '"9 immigration bill will be taken in
the senate next Thursday at 4 p. m, 40
cording TO an agreement reached yester-
day. Little doubt Is entertained as to the
passage Of the measure, and as it has al

ference before the holidays The senate
agreed to the house amendments to the
copyright bill which passed the latter
body last week The measure now goes to
the president for his signature.
Mr. Call of Florida, renewed attention
TO the Cuban question by three resolu-
tions, one being u bitter denunciation Of
the manner in which tits alleged, General
Antonio Maceo had been killed while
under flag Of truce. Other resolutions
by Mr.. Call requested the president to de-
mand the release Of United States prison
srs at the Spanish penal settlement on the
Island of Ceuta, and also asked the secre-
tary Of state for n list of Americans held
In Spanish prisons. The Call resolutions
went to the committee on foreign rela-
tions.
Beyond agreeing TO n resolution for a
two weeks holiday recess, beginning Dec.
%, the proceedings in the house were al
most entirely devoid of public interest.
Most of the day was spent in n struggle
over the bill of Mr. Morse, of Massachu-
setts, TO render the laws relating to the
sale OF Intoxicating liquors in the District
of Columbia more stringent. The opposi'
ton was inclined to filibuster against it,
but it was finally passed. The president s
veto of bill to pension Lydia A. Taft, "a
divorced widow" was sustained by vote
of 80 TO So, two-thirds not voting to over
ride tho presidents veto. Several minor
relief bills were passed.

President Gompers' Report Tells of IL .
Growth OF tho Organization.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 15-At the convention
Of the American Federation of Labor,
which opened here yesterday, President
Samuel GSompers' report was the prlnci-
pal event of the day. The report says in
part:
1--WE see our country blossoming forth
like rose through our handiwork, vet
countless thousands of our number with
but the sting of the thorn for their reward
or their consolation encircled with the
wizard like instruments, the result of the
concentrated genius of ages, to produce
the necessities and luxuries of life, still
the struggle of life is most intense and
often excruciating Greed and inhuman-
ity, providing they rise in wealth, are still
regarded as human attributes Of victory
and respectability masses of the young
and the Innocent may suffer and decay in
the process, but this is of little concern,
only that the end, wealth's possession by
the few, Is attained
81 would recommend that the represen-
tatives of this federation be constantly at
the seat of the government during the
sessions of congress- to guard and further
the legislation which our organization de-
mands in the interests of labor.
The trades unions are the business or
ganizations of the wage earners, to attend
to the business of the wage earners. They
must contend for the toilers rights and
against the toilers' wrongs Of today, and
fight for the full enfranchisement Of la
Dor, not only at the polls in the halls Of
le gislation, but far more important than
the 20, in tho factory, workshop, mill,
mine and field" There are nearly 100000
more workers allied with the organiza-
ton than year ago.
