Labor party of Pennsylvania Today
our people earn as good wages as any
Of the crafts, during the past twenty
years we have increased our wages 40
per cent and this has been done through
the efforts of trades unionism. If the be-
Iievers in socialism can point. to a prac-
teal solution of the industrial problem.
I am not so biased as not to be ready
to join them
Upon q roll call the resolution as
amended by the committee was adopted
by a large majority.
The convention adopted a resolution
favoring congressional legislation for
the pensioning of the civil service APP
pointees who are disabled in the service

ported adversely on three resolutions

men from New York, Cincinnati, Bali-
more, Detroit, St. Louis, Milwaukee and
other cities arrived today to see the
handicap battle between the two famous
sluggers and today it was impossible to
secure a good seat except from ticket
scalpers. some of whom reaped har-
vest.
Every precaution has been taken by
the fight promoters TO prevent the
threatened police interference with the
fight Both McGoyern and Cans have
been placed under arrest and are Goa
stantly accompanied by constables and
it is said that arrangements have been
made for the presence of a justice Of the
peace at the ringside tonight in case
the fighters are arrested, to release them
promptly on bonds and the fight promo
ters have given out assurances that the
men will step into the ring at 1880
o'clock.
As a further precaution, McGovern

noon and on his arrival viii be spirited

Cans too kept out of the way during

YAM is FOUND GUILTY
So Severe a Verdict Not Looked for by
Friends of the Accused-The Judges
Charge Occupied Three quarters of
an Hour.
an Hour.

| In the superior court, criminal side
yesterday afternoon at 500 o'clock the
| jury brought in a verdict of guilty Of
murder in the second degree in the case
of George YAM, charged with the muir
der of George Goering in Highwood on
June 20, 1900. The taking of evidence
in the case was finished Tuesday after
noon, and yesterday was devoted entire
ly to the arguments of the prosecuting
attorneys and counsel for the defense.
1t was 2:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon
when the arguments We're finished, and
Judge Ralph Wheeler began his charge
to the jury. The giving of the charge
occupied about three-quarters of an
hour. BY those in the court room then
| it was thought that the charge was an
extremely fair one, while many thought
that it was rather favorable to the ac-
cused.
The jury retired at 1920 o'clock and
had been out about three-quarters OF
an hour, when Constable Coleman, who
was on watch for a communication
from the iurymen, heard rapping at
the jury room door. Judge Wheeler and
Assistant Clerk of the Court John c.
Gallagher We're called in Constable
Coleman then announced that the jury
men desired that a transom over the
door of their consultation room be clos
ed. Judge Wheeler called up Sheriff
Dunham and ordered him to see that
the transom was closed.
When the court was called in many
persons in the room thought that
verdict had been reached, and the gem
eral opinion was that the jury had
found a verdict for manslaughter or ac-
quittal or had disagreed. When the
request concerning the transom was
made it therefore caused considerable
disappointment. Then there was long
wait until $40 o'clock, when another
rap was heard on the jury room door.
Again the court was called in, and this
time the jury appeared When asked
if verdict had been reached the fore
man of the jury replied that verdict
had been reached, and said that it was
for murder in the second degree. Judge
Wheeler at once pronounced the SEN
tence--life imprisonment
Those in the court room who bad been
present during the entire trial were not
prepared for this. The general opinion
was that the verdict would be for man
slaughter, acquittal or disagreement.
a large number of Yanz's friends and
fellow employees in the Winchester Re-
peating Arms company factory We're
present when the verdict was rendered,
and some of these, men holding high
positions in the factory, We're moved to
