There is a story afoat that the govern
ment of Venezuela intends to offer the
United States the Island of Margarita,
which stands about 100 miles off her
north coast, in a situation to command
the eastern part of the Spanish main.
This is the island that Germany has
coveted, and a man-of-war from the
kaiser's fleet made extensive surveys
down there two years ago, until Uncle
Sam inquired what it was doing and gave
notice that the Monroe doctrine would
prevent the accession of any territory on
this side of the Atlantic by the German
government. 1t is believed that there
was a secret understanding between the
Germans and President Castro for leas-
ing the island as Il naval station through
the Hamburg American Steamship Com
pany, which has line to Panama., and
at the time was very anxious to obtain
a coaling depot in the Caribbean sea.
It is not known how much truth there
is in the story.

negro free delivery carrier at Gallatin,
Tenn, who was held up and ordered I'M
der threat of death to leave his route.
The report of the agent who investigat-

were caused by two men who did not
represent the sentiment of the people in
the community, and the department has
been informed officially that the carrier
could continue the discharge OF his du-
ties without fear of harm. Allgood, how
ever, declares he fears to continue the
work and asks to be relieved.

tor Of the postoffice department, who
is about to retire because of criticism
growing out of Bristow's investiga-
ton, delivered a caustic valedictory
today in the form of an annual report
in which he arraigns the Lax Admin

and in effect largely holds the post
master general accountable for the
recent scandals. He points out
wherein s40,0OO,000 annually has been
and is paid out upon mere certifica-

says that no account is kept by the
auditor Of postage stamps, stamped
papers and envelopes, nor is there
any account kept between this de-
partment and the manufacturers or
contractors for furnishing such sup
plies. He quotes the law to absolve
himself from blame for the failure to
detect bribery in connection with the
purchase of patented articles.

G0MPERS AND MITCHELL
WILL LOCK HORNS
A Contest for the Presidency OF Fed
Grafton Of Labor Next
Week.

Chicago, Oct. 31-Although the an
nual convention of the American Fed
Grafton Of labor does not open until
November 8, the question of its lead
ership Is already a much discussed
and very live topic in all labor CEN
ters. From the moment the delegates
are called to order in historic Faneuil
hall the fight for control Of the organ
izatiOn will be waged with unusual
bitterness and upon the decision, it
now seems, will rest the announcement
as to whether Samuel Gompers or
the guiding reins. While there are
other candidates for the honor, labor
leaders seem to regard these two as
being the only names over which a
fight will be waged.
John Mitchell is not candidate for
the presidency, although it is intimat-
ed that within a year or two he will
seek the place. His personality Is
virtually contesting factor however,
as his support as we'll as that Of the
miners contingent. will go to James
Duncan. national secretary of the
granite cutters and first vice presi-
dent of the federation with headquar-
ters in Washington. Duncan is Meth
er a socialist nor an extremist and
his policy would differ but slightly
from the one now established.
Even the best informed labor lead
ers admit the result Of the coming
contest is beyond forecasting. The
chances at this time show that the
convention, which will be the largest
in the history of the organization and
will have at least 500 delegates. will
show greatest favor to the Mitchell
candidate.
Gompers himself is cigar maker
and has the support of the cigar
makers union which has $4,000 mem
bers. Frank Morrison the federation
secretary who must stand or fall with
Gompers, is a printer and behind MIN
stand the $4,000 members of the
printers unions. But the miners
who side with Mitchell are by far
| the strongest of the organizations af-
6liated with the American Federation
of Labor. numbering $4,000. Next IN
strength are the carpenters with
membership of 100000.
There has been a controversy De-
tween the carpenters and the wood
workers in which the former were
held in check by President Gompers'
Frank Duffy, their general secretary
is therefore said to be opposed 10
Gompers' reelection and will also
swing his formidable backing against
the present president
Duncan is making quiet but ener-
getic canvass. Gompers is making no
campaign whatever. If the convention
wants him he will serve, but asks for
no support. In Chicago labor circles
Gompers is, to put it mildly, unpop-
ular. He is accused of ultra-conser-
vatism and the devotion of too great
portion of his time to private ousi-
ness affairs.
