NEW YORK, May 13.-Samuel Com

made statement last night in reply 10
assertions of President Schwab Of the
United States Steel Corporation. before
the industrial commission, that labor or
glnizations put all men on a level and
prevent one from advancing unless all
advance. Mr.. Gompers said:
1T is a misstatement 10 say that we
are endeavoring TO fix one price for the
wages of workingmen of any one class.
What we aim at is 10 establish a min
inum Of wages. below which a work
ingman will not be obliged 20 labor
Because a minimum is established II
does not follow that a worker cannot
receive more than that
I'VE are engaged In promoting the
general welfare Of the working classes
and are aiming at their genera! i'm
provement rather than trying TO get one
preferred position for some particular
Individual. 1t may be true that there
are cases where a labor.ng man ad-
vances beyond his co-laborers but 1t IS
usually at the expense Of Others. Bet

GREATEST PERIL IS GAMBLING
Dr. Hills Declares That 1t Has
Wrought Intellectual Demorali-
cation.

NEW YORK. May 1S-"The Ethics
Of Gambling and the Perils OF Making
Haste to Be Rich" was the subject
Of Rev. Newell Dwight Hills sermon
last night at Plymouth church. Brook
lyn. DR.. Hills said in part:
The evils of drink are familiar to
you. There are other evils. But the
greatest peril is the insane spirit OF
gambling which seems to have taken
hold OF the people, irrespective OF So
cial standing or religious belief. The
insane desire to get rich quickly is at
the bottom Of It all. There Is no differ
ence between the newsboy who fiips
coins and the man In Wall street who
buys stocks on margins on chance
that they will rise or fall Both wish
to get something for nothing, both
are gamblers.
THE incessant gambling on all sp)r;s
has wrought intellectual generalization
10 the country. Horse racing is one
OF the noblest of sports, but it has been
degraded and bestialized by gambling.
Every Saturday afternoon you see at
the race tracks thousands Of working
girls and men who have families TO
support, crazy with the in.oxlcation of
gambling. AS each race is run they
stand up, a yelling. cursing, purple
faced. brutalized gang.
From the tiny lad selling newspa-
pers on the street to men dwelling in a
Palace the gambling spirit seems 10
have invaded all. Where Is this thing
going to end? 1t is time we ,alled a
halt and began 10 consider what things
are really worth while"
Annual services of Inc church asso-
citation for the advancement of the in
terests Of labor were he'd last night
in Holy Trinity church The Rev Dr..
=. P. Peters. rector of st. NJ Mchael's
Episcopal church, preached.
The committee Of fifteen" he said
"wiI! make raid and the gambler
who is arrested doesn't want mis- name
to get into the papers But there are
gamblers in Wall street who Llazon
their names prou lly ovs- heir doors
and are glad to tell YOU Of thair vim
nings or losses.
We have an exhibition of what harm
one man with grea: wealth can 10 NJ
man has the right to manipulate such
a deal as was executed In Wall street.

this duty as to permit himself TO be-

CASE WAS DISMISSED.
Polygamis; Roberts Of Congressional
Fame Won in Supreme Court.

SALT LAKE, May 13.-The case
against Brigham H. Roberts, who was
elected to congress three years ago and
who was expelled by the national body
after investigation Of the charges Of
polygamy brought against him, was TO-
day stricken from the docket by the
supreme court.
As a result of the congressional ac-
tion Roberts was indicted for unlaw-
full cohabitation and the case was sub
mitted to the district court on an agreed
statement Of facts. Conviction followed
and the case was appealed to the su-
preme court which body dismissed it
today, the point being raised that the
indictment was defective. It is probable
that this is the end Of the celebrated
case.

FAMILY HEARS NEWS.
CzolgOsz's Father Sh ws Little Emo.
tion Over His Death.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 29-Nexr to the
scene in the death chamber at Auburn
prison, where Leon Czolgosz's life was
shocked out of existence, there were no
more interested witnesses to the far
away vindication of justice than lit
tlegroup Of men who had gathered in
the local office of the Associated Press
to learn of the final act early today.
This group included his father and two
brothers and half dozen of his former
neigh bors in this city.
The same seeming indifference that
has characterized the members of the
Czolgosz family was maintained to the
end, and when the statement that Czol-
gosz had been put to death was told the
old man in Polish his fingers twitched
nervOusly for minute or so and a sus
picion of a tear was seen to come into
his dark eyes and he made reply in
Polish TO friend who acted as inter
prefer The old mans statement was
that inasmuch as it had to be it were
better that it was all over.
When told of Leon's regret that he
had not seen his father, the assassin s
parent replied pathetically that had he
Deen asKeQ TO go TO AUBURN he would
have done so, but the news from Au-
burn was never assuring and the father
felt that he was not wanted, hence he
remained at home.
The old nan said finally that he
would not have been a witness TO the
killing of his son, for the scene would
have been too much for his paternal
heart. Other than suspicion of a tear
in the fathers eye there was no sign of
grief, and the two brothers. both young
er than Leon, began TO ask as TO the
probable painfulness of the electrocu.
tion, he did not wait to hear the details
and soon left for his home.
