CAPITAL AND LABOR.
The Great Conference in New York
 Has Closed.

The Great Conference in New York
 Has Closed.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-Mr. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and MT. Frank P. Sargent, grand master of the Broth erhood of Locomotive Bremen, were among the speakers at the second days session of the great capital and labor conference in the rooms of the board of trade and transportation, 203 Broad way. Both urged cooperation between employer and employee, and Mir. Com pers took occasion to make a brief ref erence to trusts.
 The conference came to an end short ly after o'clock in the afternoon, and an arbitration committee of thirty, sug- gested by Senator Hanna, to be com posed of employees, employers and the neutral element, was appointed by MT. Oscar s. Straus, chairman of the con- ference.
 Horace M. Eaton, general secretary of the Boot and Shoe Workers union of Boston, was making an address when Mr. Gompers entered the room. Mfr Gompers was warmly greeted by Archbishop Ireland and Senator Han na and was called upon for speech.
 Mir. Hanna sat during the address with an unlighted cigar between his teeth. He listened attentively and ire quently applauded.
 Mir. Gcmpers said the individual woPkingman had been referred to in the discussion; but, he declared, the efforts of the individual against the few capitalists were as idle as the at tempt of a vessel to ride out tempes- tuous sea without a rudder.
 ''I do not believe,'' he said, Gin hay ing the rights of one capitalist toyed with nor do I believe in having the rights of the weakest workingman trampled upon. Nor do I believe in this thing of trusts interfering in the political affairs of the country and es peciaily in the judiciary
 Great applause greeted this last sen dment. MT. Gompers said that by ar bitration the workingman meant the calm and reasonable talking over of business about the table in office or un- ion meeting room or in some neutral place. Such movement, he said, made for the good of all.
 We want better relations with the employing class" said MT. Gompers,

 The small boy took advantage of the snowfall last evening by making q sliding place on the park. They slid along the smooth ice-eoyered concrete walk at a rapid gait and soon had that part of the park near the fountain in so slippery a condition as to make travel there anything but easy. Their fun was at its height when Chief Schmidt appeared, and it was a com ical sight to see them scatter when they beheld the guardian of the peace. The snow yesterday brought glad ness to the hearts of the several fox hunters in town and several of them started out early this morning to catch Reynard.

LEFT JESUIT ORDER
REV. FATHER HALPIN MEMBER
OF SECULAR PRIESTHOOD.
IN BISHOP KEILEYS HOUSE,
HIS WITHDRAWAL FROM SOCIETY
OF JESUS EXPLAINED.

His Health Caused Him to Submit
His Application to the Order, and
1t Was Sanctioned at ROme-Fa-
Their Halpin an Eloquent Preacher
and One of the Most Admired of
the Younger Priests in the Sa-
vannah Diocese.
Rev. Father P. A. Halpin. formerly
of st. Francis Xavier's, New York,
but now of the household of Bishop B.
j. Kelley ins this city, has withdrawn
from the Society of Jesus, with which
for the greater part of his life he has
been connected, and is now a member
of the secular priesthood.
Father Halpin's withdrawal, sane
toned by the Pope, took place last
April, but was not made known gen.
orally. Now that the fact has be-
come public it has excited much in
terest.
Withdrawal from the Jesuit order
has been said to be extremely rare, and
effected only with the sanction OF the
Pope himself. Father Halpin had been
a Jesuit priest for more than feTty
years when he asked to be released
from the vows of poverty and obedi-
ence which he had given as a young
nran. The announcement of his with
drawal has caused much regret and
curiosity as to the cause for an action
So nearly unprecedented.
Father Halpin is a distinguished
scholar and preacher. His opinion was
sought and respected. He entered
Fordham College as a scholastic and
eventually became vice president of the
college. He served as vice president of
the College of st. Francis Xavier. Many
men now conspicuous in public life in
this city studied under his direction
While no detailed statement is given
at the college of the reasons which
led Father Halpin to separate himself
voluntarily from his associations of a
lifetime, it is understood among the
alumni of st. Francis Xavier in New
York that the condition of his health
had made the routine of monastic life
impossible for him. Several months
ago he was Frustrated by the heat, and
he suffered much from the after effects.
Father Halpin, in accordance with
the regulations of the church, laid his
application for release, with his rea-
sons, before the provincial of the Or
der, who transmitted them with his ap-
prevail, to the general in Rome. After
having been approved by the general
the petition was referred to the Pope,
who gave Father Halpin the permission
he sought.
Father Halpin said yesterday that
it is no unusual thing to secure a
withdrawal from the Society of Jesus.
His own he secured. because of the
i'll state of his health. He came to
Savannah in September and expects to
remain here, so long as the climate
agrees with him as we'll as it has done
| since his arrival.

WITH STOLEN TICKET.
White Man Arrested at Request of
the Plant System.

E. L. Mendel, a white man who
struck Savannah during the State
Fair and about whom little is known,
was arrested yesterday by Plant Sys-
tenn Policeman Connors for having a
railroad ticket in his possession sup
posed to have been stolen. The ticket
is from Americas to Savannah, but
was not validated.
Mende, was making an effort to have
the price of the ticket refunded when
he was taken in charge by the patrol
man, on complaint of Mr.. j. H. D.
Shellman, one of the passenger men.
MendePs story was that he had neg
lected to have the ticket validated,
and that he was compelled to pay the
fare from Americas.
He slipped up by naming an amount
smaller than the sum collected on the
train for that distance. Mendel had
been to the Southern ticket office dur
ing the day, and had inquired if he
could get the value of the ticket from
the Plant System people. The rail-
roads had already been notified of the
loss of the ticket. and promptly had
the holder arrested. 1t is not known
just how the ticket was lost by the
original purchaser.

JUROR GOT OFF LIGHT.
Paid Only Costs of Attachment TO
the Superior Court.

w. w. Swinton. the Superior Court
juryman whose absence from the court
room on Monday morning caused per-
turbation of spirit to Judge Seabrook
and aching limbs to several OF the
bailiffs who were sent out in his pur-
suit, made his appearance and explain
alton before Judge Seabrook yester-
day. 1t was satisfactory to the court
only in part.
Mr.Swinton said that when he re-
ceived the subpoena he somehow got
the impression that 1t was for the City
Court and he went to the clerk of that
court and found out that jurymen had
been excused until yesterday morning.
He had then dismissed the matter I'M
til he learned that bailiffs of the SUI
perior Court were on his trail, when
he reported to the sheriff of the county
This explanation sufficed to convince
the court of the Jurors good faith. but
not of his carefulness. Indeed, Judge
Seabrook thought he had been quite
remiss and to remind him to exercise
greater caution in the future directed
him to pay the sheriff the costs of the
service of the attachment. Other than
these costs, however, no fine was i'm
posed.

Washington and Baltimore to testify
on behalf of the plaintiff.
One of these witnesses was w. H.
Trainor of Washington, the proprietor
of the dry goods establishment to
which such specific allusion is made in
the heterogeneous addressed to Mrs.
Sutcliffe; the other was F. e. Kratz
of the Baltimore detective department,
who arrested and helped to search Mrs.
Cunningham, Mrs. Burnett and Miss
Barrett, Mrs. Cunningham sister.
when they were all arrested for alleged
shoplifting in Baltimore.
Yesterday counsel for the defendant
in the pending suit appeared before
Judge Norwood and requested con-
tinuance of the case, offering in sup
port of it a certificate from DR.. r. B.
Harris. to the general effect that Mrs.
Cunningham was laboring under such
strong mental excitement that 1t would
endanger her reason, if not her life,
if she were forced at the present time
to appear in the court room.
Counsel for the plaintiff did not
oppose the motion for a continuance,
thus supported by the certificate of
DR.. Harris, and the case will be passed
for reassignment.
The tendency Of the action here and
the reports that have been current IN
Baltimore have started rumor tnal
there may be further proceedings
against the parties to the suit in the
Maryland city. Nolle prosequis have
been entered on three indictments
there but it is said that these may be
withdrawn by the prosecuting attor-
ney and application made for the requi-
stion of the defendants.
One of these indictments is against
Mrs. Cunningham and Miss Mona
Barrett jointly, one against Mrs. Gun
bingham and one against Mrs. Burnett.
On one of the indictments, it will be
remembered, a trial was had and an

NO BID FOR FRANCHISE.
Not One Was Filed for street
Railway Privileges.

Aldermen who were asked about the
supplemental petition of Mr.. D. B.
Lester for a street railway franchise,
which appeared in the Morning News
yesterday, were not disposed to re-
gard it with very great favor. 1t is
not probable that it will receive any
different consideration or secure any
other result than have his previous
petitions
"Why didn't Mr.. Lester make a bid
for the franchise when he had a
CHANGER" asked one of the aldermen.
1.-The report of the Franchise Com
mittee was adopted. and sixty days
were given petitioners or any others
to put in bid for the franchise. None
saw fit to do so, however, and do not
see why Council should take up this
matter again"
Action was taken by Council on Oct
g. 1t was required that any desiring
the franchise for the use of certain
specified streets should submit a seal

is PLENTY OF LAND
ALDERMAN DIXON SAYS THERE is
NO LACK AT LAUREL GROVE.

HALF THE PRICE OF LOTS.

of the Cemctery-SprinEfiIe Plan
tation Would Have to BE Filled
to Make 1t Available for Burial
Purposes Director of Public
Works Gadsden Said This Could
BE Done for Less Than New
Tract Would Cost.
Mayor Myers was asked yesterday
what he thought of the plan that
seems to have been practically agreed
upon by the special Council Commit
tee for the utilization of land con-
tiguous to Laurel Grove rather than
the purchase of a tract for a new
cemetery. He replied that he had
neither seen nor heard any report upon
the matter and did not feel inclined
to discuss it in advance of informa-
ton as to what the committee ex-
pected to do.
When the members of the Park and
Tree Commission met with the spe-
cial committee they advanced the be-
lief that new lots in the cemetery
could be graded. one by one, at a
cost of $40 each. AS the lots are sold
by the city at $40 each, this cost is
regarded as one that might well be
met. 1t is believed, furthermore. that
the work of grading the entire 200
lots, for which it is said land is avail
able, could be accomplished for con-
siderably less than $40 each if it
should be done at once and not lot
by lot.
Alderman Dixon, chairman of the
special committee, does not approve
the idea of a purchase of other land
for cemetery so long as Laurel Grove
may be made to answer all needs and
offers no menace to the health of the
city. He says there is plenty of
ground contiguous to the cemetery to
meet all needs for a long while to
come. Both the Hebrew and the
Christian sections may be enlarged
by the grading of this ground, which
has already been drained, and, as for
the colored cemetery, there is no
question Oh dNdlldDI6 STOuuQ. L he new
section, after being graded, could be
terraced and made as attractive as
the older sections of the cemetery.
Alderman Dixon thinks, and he sees
no reason why this course should not
be followed.
There is plenty of land that has
not been utilized for burial purposes
in and around Laurel Grove said
Alderman Dixon. There is the
Springfield plantation just west of it,
but that is too low. 1t might, how
ever, be drained and filled and made TO
answer for burial purposes after a
time"
Director of Public Works George NJ
Gadsden said that it would be possible
to fill in the Springfield plantation, re-
claiming it from its waste condition
The cost would not be as great as
would be enta!led by the purchase of
another tract for a cemetery. The
construction of the tracks of the Sa-
vannah Union Station Company
through the plantation has supplied
means for reducing the cost and facili-
tating the work of filling and grading,
Director Gadsden said, and a large
tract could be made high and dry A

COLLECTOR STILL MISSING.
Now Believed That Williams Only
Left the City.

Nothing has yet been heard of ".
w. Williams, the missing collector,
who disappeared from his home on
East Broad street over two weeks ago.
The police have been unable to find
any trace of the man and his family
have heard nothing from him.
The suicide theory, which was at
first entertained as being highly prob
able by his relatives, has been aban-
doned. Mrs. Williams is now of the
opinion that her husband left the
city in search of employment and
will write her when he secures the
position. He was Respondent and prob
ably felt like trying his luck in some
other place. 1t is believed that if the
collector had committed suicide his
remains would have been found ere
this.
