marked: You'll never seduce another

Then Will Prince took the stand.
Prince, according to theory of the prose-
cution, was a professional mesmerist, and
IN nerving her up to commit the murder
Of Kennedy, exercised his hypnotic power
over Mrs. Kennedy.
Prince denied that he was a mesmerist
or that he ever mesmerized a person, and
said he had never been prize fighter, as
had been alleged Prince detailed his
whereabouts on the day of the murder.
He denied having accompanied Mrs. Ken
nedy to town few hours before the mur-
der, when she was supposed to have been
en- route to Kennedy's office. The state
tried to show that Prince left home with
his sister on the afternoon of the mur-
der, furnishing her with a revolver en-
route and instructing her in what she
should do when she went to her husbands S
Office.

presidents friends felt called upon to in
dorse the idea the president decided that
the public mind should be instantly
cleared of even the suspicion that he was
seeking to break down the precedents of
the past by becoming candidate for an
other term.
He broached the subject to Secretary
Long yesterday afternoon. He told him
he believed that an announcement at the
very inception of the discussion would be
wise, and last night officially informed the
members Of the cabinet, who had been
informally calle dtogether, of his decision.
1t met with hearty apporval. There was
unanimous concurrence in the belief that
public discussion, If allowed to go on,
would not only place the president in :,
false light before the country, but would
arouse antagonism and seriously embar-
rass the administration in the solution
Of the great questions before it. The
brief announcement which the president
had prepared was given out by Secretary

Mankato, Mimi, June 1.-THE state fed
GRAFTON of labor took I'D reports this
morning and voted that hereafter officers
should furnish bonds. also that it was
not advisable to put organizers in the
field at this time. An address was given
by G. L. Rockwell. secretary of the su-
preme grand lodge of the Eighth Day
League of America.
1t was resolved to extend all assistance
possible to the bag factory employees Of the
state in their efforts to establish their la
bel on flour sacks. The union stamp of
the Boot and Shoe Workers Union was in
dorsed and call made upon federation
members to demand it at all times. The
boycott on the Marshall Wells Hardware
company Of Duluth was indorsed
Union No. 20 Of Theatrical Stage EN-
ployes of st. Paul made a formal protest
against the management of the Grand
opera house and asked the convention to
assist 1t to make an effective boycott
The matter was referred to the federation
council which will cooperate with the
trade and labor assemblies of the twin
cities to effect an adjustment of the
trouble If possible.
The Eight-Hour- Day League Of America
was 1ndorsed, and a resolution of sym
pathy for the striking machinists was
passed. The Union Advocate was indorsed
as the official paper, and encouragement
was given the Union of Minneapolis and

The fight Of the previous session was
over resolution to seat retail liquor
dealers association men as delegates in the
convention. The committee was opposed
to an innovation Of this kind, and after
a warm debate its position was indorsed
by the convention. Officers will be elected
and adjournment taken late this afternoon.
Earlier Proceedings.
The credentials committee reported in
favor Of admitting two representatives
from Minneapolis Of the retail dealers as
sociation only as fraternal delegates with
out votes. The recommendation was sus-
tanned.
President Neary in his annual report
said that the past year. in membership,
new councils organized and financially, has
been the best since the federation was
started. Minnesota, he said, is classed
as one Of the best organized states in the
Union and has a membership Of nearly
10000. He suggested that organizers be
appointed through the state, recommended
that an arbitration law be enacted at the
next session OF the legislature and spoke
favOrably Of the Johnson arbitration bill.
He cOmplimented the work OF the com
mittee on legislation and gave Labor
Commissioner O'Donnell credit in assisting
to secure the passage of the eight-hour
law, which though not what was expected,
is good start. The Eight-hour League
was commended for its good work. Since
the prison has been placed under the con-
troll of the state board, President Neary
recommends that the federation request

penitentiary as prison made

made a long report Since his last report
eighteen unions have become affiliated
with the federation OF labor. He recon-
mended that a committee be appointed to
draft bylaws and constitution for feder-
alton unions in smaller cities. The
union label came in for good words
mass meeting was held at the opera
house last night and was addressed by
several prominent labor officials and citi-.
zens of Mankato, the purpose being to ex-
plain the true aims of organized labor.
Labor Commissioner O'Donnell said It was
the intention Of the bureau OF labor in the
near future to make extensive inyestiga-
tions as to the general conditions sur
rounding employes-the number of hours
worked, amount OF wages received, or the
amount earned each day, If on piece work.
He said: II can assure you that it Is the
intention Of every man connected with the
bureau TO bring 1t as near the standard
of perfection as possible, and to do every
thing in his power to make the next bien-
NAL report truthful and honest in all OF
It's departments, and one that will appeal
to all classes OF our citizens. / hope and
trust the time is not far distant when all
the labor unions of the state will take an
active interest in the affairs Of the feder-
alton, from the fact that they will all be
a part OF it. Much good has resulted from
the efforts Of this body. Much more can
be accomplished"

Boom the Most Business
like of Any.
From The Journal Bureau, Room 20, Post
Building, Washington.
Washington, June 1.-THE announce
ment that President Mckinley will not be
a candidate for a third term took Wash
ington by surprise to-day. No one was
expecting it. The boom had been put
under way by Senator Depew, Representa-
tive Grosvenor and other stalwart repub-
licans, and many good people were begin
ming to think Mckinley was party to what
was going on. At any rate. it is hardly
expected that he would put a Quietus
upon it IN such summary fashion.
1t is now known that last nights mys-
terious cabinet meeting was called ex-
pressly that the president might get views
of his advisers as to whether he should
notice the third term gossip to the ex-
tent of denying it. Evidently the cabinet
advised the president to make the denial,
for it was issued before noon to-day and
the cabinet officers seem to indorse 1t
most cordially.
Immediately rumor began to busy her
self with the prominent names men
toned for the succession and for the next
few days little else will be be talked by
the politicians. Among those named are
Vice President Roosevelt and Governor
Odell Of New York, Senator Fairbanks of
Indiana, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
Senator SDooner of Wisconsin, Senators
Foraker and Hanna of Ohio, Senator Gull
lom of Illinois and Judge Taft of Ohio.
In spite of the advantage of geographi-
cal position and of the booming OF Sena-
tor Mason, the name Of Senator Cullom is
not considered seriously. Cullom is r..
If elected he would be close to 80 when he
closed his term. The friends of Vice
President Roosevelt do not seem to be
active. The leaders figure that the war
spirit which made Teddy hero will have
so subsided by 1904 that Roosevelt will
not have great strength. The boom of
Senator Lodge is traceable directly to
the ambitions of the Massachusetts, sena-

to-day.
l have never exchanged one word with the
president concerning the matter, and have
considered all the talk bearing on the subject
as premature. According to my Judgment it
is too early to discuss presidential candidates
for the next term.
Asked if he was in favor Of maintaining
the precedent established by President
Washington in reference to the number of
years the chief executive should hold Of

ment among the people against such propo-
sition.
