LABOR LEADERS
IN CONFERENCE
Federation Representa-
tives Meet in Execu-
tive Session.

SCRANTON, Pa, Dec. S.-Many dele
gates to the convention of the American
Federation of Labor now in session in
this city, did not cease their activity de-
spite the fact that this was Sunday. The
executive council was in secret session
for several hours, but nothing was given
out for publication.
w. D. Mahon of Detroit, president of
the AmaIgamated Association of Street
Railway Employees was in frequent con-
ference with local labor leaders who are
directing the streetcar strike in this city.
1t is probable that Mahon and President
Mitchell of the mine workers will take
delegation from the Allied Building
Trades of Philadelphia arrived here
during the day and held an interview
with Mahon on the street railway situa-
ton In that city, where a strike is said to
be among the probabilities of the near fu-
ture. The conferees desired plan of con-

Association.
other meeting and discussed plans for
perfecting the organization. Nine of the
fifteen eligible metal trades unions in the
United States were represented.
The American Federation of Labor con-
vention will remain in session for the
next six days. Probably the most vital
question that Will come before the con-
vention is that of trade autonomy. The
brewery workmen and the mine workers
delegates probably will be the storm CEN
ter on this question. Both of these trade
unions want industrial autonomy, that is,
they advocate that all trades in one in
dustrial establishment should form one
organization for the better advancement
of the condition of all, They also an
nounce that they will oppose trade auton-
omy to the bitter end.
Nearly a dozen resolutions on the mat
ter of the exclusion of Chinese from the
United States and island possessions are
in the hands of special committee This
committee probably will report one reso-
luton embodying all the good points in
them. 1t will be also presented along with
one commencing President Roosevelt for
advocating in his annual message the
continued exclusion of Chinese.
There has been no development in the
Gompers-Mitchel Shaffer controversy,
which grew out of the strike. Dlligent in
quiry failed to confirm the rumor that the
matter will be threshed out on the floor
of the convention. The principals of the
affair maintain an absolute silence.
AT this time 1t seems reasonably certain
that all the present officers of the fedora
ton will be reelected.
Among the cities that have entered the
campaign for the next place of meeting
are Los Angeles and San Francisco. Port
land, Or, wants the convention in 1905,
the year of it's exposition.

SOFT, GLOSSY HAIR.
It Can Only Be Had Where There Is
No Dandruff

Any man or woman who wants soft,
glossy hair must be free of dandruff,
which causes falling hair. Since it has
become known that dandruff is a germ
disease the old hair preparations that
were mostly scalp irritants, have been
abandoned, and the public. BARRIERS and
doctors included, have taken to using
Newbro's Herpicide, the only hair pre-
paration that kills the dandruff germ.
E Dodd, Dickinson n. D., says: Her
picide not only cleanses the scalp from
dandruff and prevents the hairs falling
out, but promotes a new growth. Herpi-
eide keeps my hair very glossy"

Prisoner Escapes Lynching


Little Rock. Ark, August 27.-A mob
of about 100 remained in the vicinity of
the federal Jail at Fort Smith until
his morning determined to lynch Lewis
Smith. the negro who assaulted the
daughter of a Frisco road employee.
The mob was without a leader and dis
persed after making loud threats
against the prisoner.
Dallas, Texas, August 27.-This af-
ternoon Sheriff c. 3. Garrett, of Fort
Smith, said over the long distance
phone:
There has been a comparatively
quiet situation here today. 1t is i'm
possible, however, to forecast what
may happen this afternoon or tonight.
Lewis Smith, whom the mob wanted
to lynch last night, is still in the Unit
ed States Jail, but he is to be taken
before a state court this afternoon for
a preliminary trial. Lucy Watson, the
white girl, today identified Smith posi-
lively as the negro who attempted to
outrage her. There is a strong feeling
among the people. The city n coun-
ty authorities will do all they can to
protect the prisoner"
A crowd surrounds the county jail
here tonight, seeking to lynch Louis
Smith, who was saved from the fury OF
a mob last night by the father of the
~7-year-old Lucy Watson, whom, it is
charged, Smith attempted to assault.
Sheriff Harrel took the negro to Little
Rock today. but the crowd refused to
dispense. believing hat Smith is still
in the Fort Smith Jail.

JUDGE LYNCH,s COURT
Likely to Be Convened for a Mis-
souri, Negroes Benefit

Columbus, Mo-, August 2S.-Mary
Henderson, aged 40 years, was assault
ed and killed last evening by William
Francis. colored, at the farm house of
her brother-in-law, Charles E. Hyatt,
near here. Francis fled. but hundreds
OF men are securing the entire county
and his capture and dearth are con-
sidered almost certain.
Miss Henderson resided with the
the heart Of the richest agricultural
district in the state. Last evening the
Hyatts drove to the home Of friends
for a brief visit. Francis, who a
been a trusted employe on the place for
several years. was left to his own de-
vices. Shortly after sunset ne entered
the farm house for his evening meal.
Miss Henderson personally prepared 1t
and was about to call the negro when
he stepped into the kitchen and attack
ed the defenceleSS woman. She scream
ed loudly and long for help, but none
was at hand. The z was driven,
finally, by her desperate resistance, to
h yard in the rear Of the house, but,
in the end she was overpowered.
When the Hyatts returned Miss Hen
derson was found lying near the house
with a bullet hole above the left ear.
The only horse remaining in the place
had also been killed in his stall, evident
" to hinder pursuit. Miss Henderson
is said to have survived long enough to
inform her relatives of her assailant-
This announcement removed all
doubts from the citizens here and half a
dozen posses were Immediately formed.
Every inch Of territory in the county
is now being scored.
"A suspect is under arrest at lnQ6-
pendence and another is being pur-
sued near Sedalia. 1t is practically Ger
tain that Francis, if capteured, will be
burned at the stake.

An Imperial Undertaking

The Pacific cable scheme has at
length obtained complete legislative
sanction in England, Canada and Aus
tralia, and the cable is now under con-
Struction. 1t is an important CONNER
cial and political undertaking. THE
moment Canada looked out on the Pa
cific," says the Broad Arrow, "a naval
base, a transcontiental railway n a
submarine cable were inevitable. The
first and second are already important
links in the chain of imperial defense,
and the third will in two years be laid
and in working order. England has
thus got the start Of her rivals in
strengthening her hold on the ocean
of the future. At n time it looked
as though the United States, in partic-
ular, might have had precedence Of
her. but from this she a been saw
ed by the energy of her colonies. In
wal time the possession of an alterna-
tive line of communication might prove
the salvation of the empire, especially
as one of the advantages Of the new
route is it's all-British character. The
cable touches foreign territory. no
where. and is therefore entirely under
British control. Hence it will be as
difficult and dangerous to cut it as it
will be Easy to cut b existing eastern
cable, which is not only laid in shallow
waters, but is, in places, at the mercy
of our rivals. The Pacific system will
have another great advantage; it will
connect Australia and Canada directly,
In war time, therefore, Esquimault,
Sydney, Auckland and Fiji will be in
touch with one another as we'll as with
London"
The cable enterprise is the first i'm
perial business undertaking in which
the two principal colonies have coop
Grated with the mother country. The
Broad Arrow regards it as a happy
omen for the first year of the century"

gondola and luminous as the court of
honor on the occasion Of u last great
local celebration. Rising from those
radiant CULTS a pair of black silk pin
nacles appear. From the shoe top to
the knee are stripes of black velvet.
We learn on the highest authority that
a number of the leading stock-raisers
of Russia screamed aloud and went off
in commissions when they saw those
calves. Above the knee are small
clothes of lack velvet, but these have
stripes of red. The effect is described
as dazzling. The coat is of black vel

evening dress with the tails chopped
off half way up, n with the skirts
turned back like the claw-hammers of
the revolutionary generals of 1776, so
as TO make room Tor JeWeled Orna-

It gives you the general impression of
