Cleveland, Dec. 12.-The Cleveland
delegates to the annual convention of
the American Federation of Labor
which will meet in Cincinnati next week,
will use their influence toward the de-
feat for reelection Of the president,
Samuel Gompers. The bicycle workers,
electrical workers, shipbuilders' help
ers and bricklayers have all so instructed
their delegates. The cause given is that
Mr.. Gompers has SO long been at the
head of the federation that he is too con-
servative. whereas occasions often arise
calling for aggressive action.

Slaves In Ohio.

In looking over documents in the Of
noe OF the state sinking fund commits
sion Secretary Malcolm Jennings came
eoross an old compendium Of the fed
eral census Of 1910. Il shows that there
were at that time three slaves in Ohio
One was in Lawrence, one In Morgan
and one in Noble county. It has been
frequently asserted that there never
were any slaves In this state. This
would seem to controvert that. The
slaves listed in this census had probably
been brought by their owners from
southern states on moving to Ohio.

at highway robbery occurred last night
OF the outskirts of this city. James
F. Bisbee, a cracker salesman, while
driving on Western avenue. near the

volver at Bisbee, demanding his money.

the revolver out of the mans hands and
quickly whipped up the horse. The man
at the horses head was knocked down,
and Bisbee escaped. There is no clew
to the highwaymen.

Close of the Div0rce Suit Brought by
Wrs. Jatnes-Argurnent Begun
John H. James, husband of Mrs. Mar
celia James, of No. ZIG Fourth street,
who has filed a bill of divorce against
him, was before Vice-Chancellor Emery
this morning in proceedings for contempt
of court in not paying ounse fee and
alimony.
The bill was filed last Tune and it set
out cruelty on the part of the husband
and neglect in properly supporting his
wife. Mr.. James defence was a complete
denial and he charged his wife with as
saulting him and alleged Incorporate
habits.
Mrs. James. a young and very attrac-
tive woman told the Court at the last
hearing that it was not true that she ever
was under the influence of liquor, and as
far as the alleged cruelty was concerned
that was a fabrication. Her story was
simply told and with evident truth.
Some time ago the Court made an or
alimony. Tne contention of Counsellor
Hughes. counsel for Mrs. James, this
morning was that Mr.. James had not
complied with the order of the Court,
and he asked the Court to punish him
for contempt.
This morning Mr.. James was called to
LIE Sidiu 10 explain what ne ndQ done
with his SIS a month which he receives
from the city. Witness aid that he had
paid $40 or Whereabouts a month to his
wife. He was obliged to live in Jersey
City and pay 50 a month rent because
Belleville was not healthy for him. He
had not, he said, paid Mr.. Hughes the
taxed bill of costs of counsel fees and
alimony because the order was not serv-
ed on him. Mr.. Tenant was his counsel
then.
did he show you that order?s asked
ne n n ann6llnr
Yes, sir"
The Vice-Chancellor after abundance of
der directing Mr.. James to pay the coun-
sci fee out of his January warrant now
lying in the city offices.
Counsellor Hughes, for Mrs. James,
then began his argument for a divorce
a mensa ct thoro and the custody of the
boy, Walter Irving James. Mr.. Hughes
made a forcible presentation of the facts
and said that the defendant having taken
all the furniture from the house in June
last at the time of the separation and
repeatedly showed his dislike to his wife.
it was plain ne diSn't care for herspr
their boy. He disproved the statements
rejecting on Mrs. James character. She,
he said, was a woman of the highest
character, and counsel read a letter from
Mr.. James in which the latter said
Don't want to oppose the suit; but no
alimony." That, said Mr.. Hughes, con-
tained the nutshell of the case.
Senator Daily followed for Mr.. James
and his argument was not through at
the time for adjournment.

BURGLARS BUSY AGAIN.
Robberies Perpetrated in Var
ious Sections Of the

Burglars and thieves are reaping a big
harvest again. The police are exercising
every '~precauuion. but the unwelcome
visitors are too active for them. Last
night or early this morning the storage
warehouse of Jarvis & Co, at Provost
and Thirteenth streets, was broken into.
Although there was a watchman in the
place the thieves managed to get away
with three bundles of wool, weighing 800
pounds each. The wool is valued at SIS.
How the thieves avoided detection while
making away with such immense bales,
even though a truck was used, is puzzl-
ing the police. 1t would appear that for
the present it is advisable for one to even
keep his wearing apparel in sight. Last
night ex-City Collector p. II. O'Neill at
tended a meeting of his comrades of Van
Houten Post in the posts rooms at City
Hall. When the Collector looked for a
new Dunlap hat it had disappeared. No
trace of it could be found and he was
forced to wear one of the uniform caps
of a comrade home.

copper, two side lights, a compass and
several lengths Of rope were stolen. The
