FEDERATION
TURNS DOWN APPLICATION
OF THE
FLINT GLASS WORKERS
And Refuses Them an
Afiliation

Washington, d. c., Sept. 14.--At to-
days meeting of the executive council
Of the American Federation of Labor
the application of the Flint Glass
Workers International Association for
charter was denied as was also its re-
quest for a hearing at the San Fran
cisco convention. This association was
affiliated with the Feieration for many
years and infringed upon the jurisdic-
ton Of the International Association of
Glass Bottle Blowers by accepting
members of the latter body Last year
the Flint Glass Workers association
wanted the American Federation oi
Labor to sustain its contention of jur-
isdiction over the glass bottle blowers
This was refused, and jurisdiction
over the glass bottle glowers conceded
in its entirety to the Glass Bottle
Blowers International Association.
The flint workers then withdrew from
the federation, dissatisfied with the
award made. This association now
seeks to re-afIliliate but the executive
council decided that before a charter
would be granted, the association
would have to surrender the bottle
blowers to the organization of that
trade and decided the president of the
association was not entitled to he
heard in the convention until it COM
piled with the decision.
1t was decided to issue charters to
stenographers, typewriters and Office
assistants unions.

months of the fiscal year shows re-

$91 .993.45.

were issued for the eleven months.

REPUBLICANS
OF WISCONSIN GO INTO
COURT
FACTIONAL QUARREL
Cannot Be Settled ANY
Other Way.

Madison, Wis, Sept 14.-Attorneys
for the stalwart faction of the Wiscon-
sin Republican party argued today be-
fore the supreme court basing their
case on the claim that the decision OF
the National convention in their favor
settled the controversy over the reg
ular or bolting Wisconsin state con-
vention.
The brief Of the La Toilette side de-
clares that the National convention de-
cision cannot bind in this state as to
nominees for state offices, because the
national convention decided only as
to the national convention delegates
and that section 35 of the Wisconsin
revised statutes proves the manner oi
determining factlonal controversies.
Members of the court asked the at
torneys for the stalwarts how they got
around this statute and they replied
that in political party affairs the su-
preme court of the party was the ma.
tional convention. The La Toilette
side will be heard tomorrow.

DENNIS IN JAIL
Mckinley Guard Held
For Grand Jury

Francis A. Dennis, the member Of
the United States regular army, sta
toned at Canton, and doing guard
duty at McKinley's tomb, who was
taken into custody by Deputy United
States Marshal Tanning, at Akron,
Monday night, was on Tuesday bound
over to the federal grand jury on
the charge of illegally drawing a
pension.
1t Is claimed that Dennis served
with the volunteers during the Span
ish war, and sustained an injury
upon which he obtained a pension,
amounting to $12 month, from the
government. Later he joined the
regular army and was stationed at
Canton. The situation was a pecul-
lar one. The pension had been OBJ
tanned upon showing of disability.
A person disabled is not supposed to
join the regular army.
Dennis remained with the regu-
lars and drew his pension. A few
days ago he became dissatisfied and
obtained a leave of absence, but did
not intend to return for duty, 1t Is
claimed. During his absence the ar
rest was effected. He was given a
hearing before United States Com
missioned Schwan Tuesday morning
and was bound over to the grand jury
for practicing a fraud in obtaining
pension. His bond was fixed at
$500, which could not be given, and
Dennis was taken to the county Jail,
where he will be held for trial. Being
imprisoned, he will not be able to
return to duty.

RUSSIA IN DEFEAT.
At the Close of the Crimcan War Her
Weakness Stood Revealed.


Despite the suppression OF most of
the foreign journals and the blotting
out of page after page Of the news
papers allowed to enter the empire
despite all that the secret police could
do in representing unfavorable COM
ment-it became generally known that
all was going wrong in the Crimea.
News came of reverse after reverse,
of the defeats of the Alma and Inker-
man, and as a climax the loss of Sc
bastopol and the destruction of the
Russian feet.
In the midst of 1t all, as is ever the
case in Russian wars, came utter col
lapse in the commissariat department;
everywhere one heard hints and final
ly detailed stories Of scoundrelism IN
high places, of money which ought
to have been appropriated to army sup
plies, but which had been expended
at the gambling tables of Homburg
or In the Breda quarter of Paris.
Then it was that there was borne
in upon me the conviction that Rus
sia, powerful as she seems when
viewed from the outside, is anything
but strong when viewed from the in
side. To say nothing of the thou
sand evident weaknesses resulting
from autocracy-the theory that one
man, and he generally not one of the
most highly edowed can do the think
ing for hundred millions OF people
there was nowhere the slightest sign
II any uprising Of great nation, as,
for instance, of the French against
Europe in 1892. of the Germans against
France in 1913 and in 1870, Of Italy
against Austria in 1859 and afterward,
and Of the Americans in the civil war
of 1861.
There were certainly many noble
characters in Russian. and these must
have felt deeply the condition of things.
But there being no great middle class,
and the lower class having been long
kept in besotted ignorance, there
seemed no force on which patriotism
could take hold-Dr. Andrew d. White

WHEELING CROPS

That Is No Joke, For It's What the Rail-
road is Doing.
The Wheeling & Lake Erie, B. & O.,
Erie and Pennsylvania railroads, es-
pecially the two former, are making
preparations to handle a big celery
and onion crop at Lodi, Crestun and
Orrville. The bulk of this business
falls to the Wheeling & Lake Erie, as
this road passes through the three
towns, where large quantities of cell
cry and onions are raised each year
by Horr, Warner G. Co., Of Wellington
and by other raisers. 1t is estimated
that the onion crop at Orrville and
Lodi will amount TO 10000 bushels
this year.

JUDGE PARKER
LEAVES FOR NEW YORK
CITY TO
CONSULT WITH LEADERS
Conferences of Much
Political Moment.

Rosemount, Esopus, N. Y, Sept IA.
Alton B. Parker, the Democratic
presidential nominee left Rosemount
tonight at G:10 o'clock for New York
aboard John B. McDonald's steam
yacht Sapphire. He goes to consult
with the Democratic leaders of the
nation, and his stay in the metropoiic
will probably be one succession of
conferences. Such men as Henry
Gasseway Davis, the vice presidential
candidate; Senator Arthur Pue Cor
man, William F. Sheehan, August
Belmont, former National Chairman
James X Jones and possibly Grover
Cleveland, await his coming Before
his return the entire situation to the
remotest detail will have been can
vassed thoroughly. 1t may be said, in
fact, that this journey of the nominee
inaugurates the Democratic campaign
and that the decisions arrived at dur
ing the conclaves will map out the
line of work upon which the ticket
will win or go down to defeat in No
vember.
While in New York, Judge Parker
will make his headquarters at the
new Hotel Astor, where suite Of
rooms were engaged for him today.
It was at first planned that he would
see all callers there, but this arrange
ment may be changed so as to permit
him to visit Democratic national
headquarters once or twice during
his visit. According to the present
schedule he will return to Esopus
by train some time Friday.
With Judge Parker aboard the Sap
phire tonight were Mr.. Mcdonald, the
owner, Private Secretary Arthur Nc
Causland and Smith NJ Weed, a Dem
ocratic visitor from Plattsburgh, this
state. Mr.. Weed came late this af-
ternoon and had intended returning
Immediately. Judge Parker prevail
ed upon him, however, to go aboard
the Sapphire with him and ride down
the river so far as Poughkeepsie
where he is to leave the boat and
catch New York Central train.
The start from Esopus was made
during veritable cloudburst The
yacht had arrived an hour before and
anchored off the Rosemount dock
Mr.. Mcdonald came ashore to get his
guests and took the Judge, his secre-
tary and Mr.. Weed to the Sapphire
in a yawl. All were thoroughly
drenched when they got aboard. Just
as the yacht was starting out down
the river a sudden thunderstorm ad-
ded succession of crashes and in
cessant lightning flashes to the
downpour Dinner was served aboard
the yacht.
Mr.. Mcdonald and his guests ex-
pect to anchor off Manhattan Island
about midnight. No one will leave
the yacht and NO one will be per-
mitted to board her until morning
Then about o'clock the candidate
will be landed and driven to the Hotel
Astor.
