NEW YORK, April 4.-scores Of in
dignation meetings have been held in
the East Side in protest against a gem

NEW HEAD TALKED OF.
Seattle Unions Discussing Problem Of
Central Body.

SVSN ~'SHS S'SSass"S FFV1IcW ol
Central Body.
SEATTLE. April THE Seattle
Amalgamated Trades Council is the
name proposed for new central Ia
Dor organization, the preliminary steps
towards forming which have already
been taken by three local unions which
recently seeded from the Western
General. The preamble adopted by the
new organization recltes that the
necessity for conservative head 10
lllied labor in this city is growing more
imperative every day. and 1t is proposed
to perfect body with which all unions
can affiliate independent OF past In
ternal dissension. The utmost secrecy
has been preserved in the formation OF
the new parent body and none OF It's
promoters will as yet make any au-
thoritative statement concerning its ex-
istence.
Active steps are being taken towards
including several the largest and most |
influential unions in the city to ally |
themselves with the new organization.
Local Clerks Union No $50 and the
Brewery Workmen's Union are both !
reported in labor circles to have al
ready Joined the council and overturcs
have been made to the Iron Molders'
and Machinists' unions to affiliate,
These latter unions are rot now mem
bers OF the Western Central.
In this connection 1t was yesterday |
rumored In labor circles that the boy
colt which was several months ago |
inauguraed against the product Of the
Seattle Brewing and Mailing Cmpany
vas on the eve of a settlement. While
promoters OF the new council admit
that the new existence Of this boycott
has been responsible for much Of the
dissatisfaction with the Western Cen
trail, they nevertheless claim that a
settlement Of the boycott at this time
will not operate to prevent the forma-
tion Of the new council.
Secretary Rust of the Western Cen
tral, when seen last night concerning
the organization Of the new council,
said that in 50 far as he knew there
was no foundation for the report. He
claimed that II any considerable num-
her Of unions had entered into such a
plan he would know Of it's existence.

Parkersburg, w. Va, March 96-A
lynching was narrowly averted here hast
night. Men and women constituted a
mob that found a man calling himself
DIR. Franklin S. Eaton, Of Baltimore, yes,
terday evening late, covered with leaves
and brush, covering from an angry
crowd of men that followed him with the
determination to answer the charge of
criminal assault on Lenora, the eleven
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. WI
9. Moorehead, residing in the suburbs of
the city. Boys in the crowd fusilladed
him with stones, but the men used pres.
ence of mind and at pistol points he was
taken to the Office OF magistrate. Tae
accused was so badly that ne walked
with difficulty.
Mr.. MoOrehead, the father of the lit
tie girl informed the magistrate that
the child's condition was so serious
that she could not come TO the office TO
identify her alleged assailant. The man
was then taken to the county jail where
he will be kept, closely guarded, until
the child is able to appear in court.
The father and mother of the little
girl are almost heart-broken because of
yesterdays occurrence, and the Former.
while making complaint to the officers,
wept like child and could not be paci
fed.
Later in the evening, after the accus.
ed had been taken TO the Jail, and the
news OF the heinous crime that had been
committed had become circulated in the
city, there was considerable excitement.
and at nearly every corner could be heard
some one suggesting "let's lynch the
scoundrel."
Several crowds of men congregated at
the street corner and talked over the
horrible crime that had ben committed
and number of them were heard say
they would help pull the rope and hang
the man.
MY home is wherever l happen to be-.
answered Eaton to an Interrogation
about himself and his place of residence.
Later he said he was from Baltimore,
and that in the recent fire in that city
he had lost $4,000, as the conflagration
destroyed his "bigg offices on East Balti.
moresstreet, and all their contents. valu-
ed at the figure he mentioned. He adj
mitted tha he had been on South side and
that he thought. a serious crime had been
committed, of which the little girl was
The victim, but that he was not guilty
Of it. He said he went into the stone
quarry on upper Lubbock avenue and as
he sepped behind a big rock he saw a
man emerging and he followed. Then
he saw the little girl for the first time.
