BETTER DAY IS COMING.
HoY IT WILL COME FOR YORK
 MEN, THE QUESTION.

Civic Federation Body: "shaIl it
 Come as in Bloody Revolutionary
 Russia or by the Plain, Modest Amer ican Method of Obtaining it in the i Trades Union Moyement.''
 New York, April 25.-The industrial
 Civic Federation held a dinner in this
 city tonight. August Belmont, presi- dent of the federation, was toastmaster,
 and before introducing the speakers of the evening said that at the outset the National Civic Federation was met by a very general misapprehension of it's
 mission, but it's position is now better understood. We strive for industrial peace" he said, and more rightful re- lations between employers and wage fearners. In doing this we look beyond the strained relationship to the causes which induce them. Inquiry, discussion
 and education are important factors in the settlement of vexatious problems which are sociological as we'll as indus trial; and this new departure in the work of organization admits of a broad
 CT conception of the possibilities and opportunities afforded by intelligent re- view, research and agitation.
 ''The American Federation. of Labor
 has undertaken to introduce regular in struction in social, economic and indus trial topics throughout it's 25,000 local unions. The three union publications
 contain an increasing proportion of
 reading matter devoted to technical subjects, all designed to increase the efficiency and productive capacity of the individual worker
 MT. Belmont then introduced Presi- dent Eliot of Harvard university, who i spoke on the foundation of American prosperity and progress and individual liberty as applied to the open and 1 closed shop. az#8 4 President Samuel Gompers of the
 American Federation of Labor was in troduced. He said in part:
 1 Organization is the Workman's pro- lection. The United States supreme unconstitutional. do not know what
 anyone else may think, but as far as I am concerned when the test shall come and there is no other way to prevent it, will urge and appeal to these bakers to strike and strike hard to enforce the ten-hour day for themselves.
 ''No one belives that the conditions as they are to-day are perfect. A better day is coming. It is a question whether it will come as in bloody revolutionary
 Russia, or by the plain, modest Amer ican method of obtaining it in the trades union movement. Wherever there has come the organization of labor, in that same degree have depravity and
 misery and poverty disappeared. 75.' "You cannot make voting cattle out
 of eight hour workmen. Workmen who
 toll eight hours a day have time to &C., quaint themselves with the current
 questions that affect the people of our
 country"

FOUR KILLED IN TEXAS ROW
PR0HIBITIONIsTs' MEETING
 TURNED INTO 4 BATTLE.

Congressman John gIs Pinckey and His
 Brother Among the yicfims--Bitter
 Feeling Caused by Temperance Move
 ment in Which They Were Leaders
 Rangers at Hampstead to Prevent
 Further Outbreak.
 Hampstead. Texas, April 25.--As a re- suit of the bloody battle here last night when four men were killed and others were wounded Hampstead is tonight under the control of the Texas rangers. Martial law has not been declared, but Adjutant General Hulen arrived to- night with number of Rangers and assumed charge of affairs. No one is permitted to bear arms, and the excite rnent manifested throughout the. day has quieted down tonight.
 Rollan Brown a son Of one of the men killed at the prohibition meeting last night, was to-day placed under arrest on the charge of killing Con- gressrnan John M. Pinckney. He stated that his father was under the influence of intoxicants when he at- tended the meeting and that he (the son) attempted in vain to dissuade him. from attending. The son fol- lowed him and took part in the shoots ing. It has been established that the trouble began when Captain H. M. Brown attempted to secure recognition to speak It is said that his language was offensive to many ladies present, and the fusilade began immediately af- terwards. Congressman Pinckney was shot four times and was almost in- stantly Killed Thomas Pinckney, d brother of the congressman, was shot twice ill the back and killed, and Capt. Brown received a bullet through the heart. John E. Mills, the remaining victim. took no part in the affair, and was killed by a stray bullet.
 The killings are a direct result of a prohibition movement in Waller county which was begun several years ago and the feeling was intense. An election was held in Waller county. April 20 and the prohibitionists, with whom the Pinckneys were affiliated were suc- Hcessful. The prohibition league was called together last night to wind up its affairs and disband. A resolution requesting the governor of Texas to send troops to waller county for the purpose of enforcing the law against liquor sellers was excitedly debated. It was at this juncture that Captain Brown, who had figured prominently as an anti-abolitionist, sought to have the chairman recognized him. To-day 1t was reported that friends and relatives of the participants in the bloody affray had been asked to come to Hampstead as 1t was feared that further trouble would result. To-night, however, cool CT counsel prevailed and the little town is quiet. While no further trouble is anticipated, a number of rangers will remain here to preserve law and order should the occasion arise.

.C0RONBR'S PHYSICIAN
 CHANGES HIS OPINION
SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN
 PATTERSON TRIAL.


 Time That the Man Committed suI- eide Now Says He Has Changed His Mind-Captain Sweeney Testifies.
 New York, April 25.-Perhaps the most sensational development in the testimony of to-day in the trial of Nan Patterson, charged with the mur- der of Caesar Young, came when Cor oner's Physician O'Hanlon took the witness stand for the prosecution and said in reply to questions that he had changed his opinion that Young com mitted suicide. pr. O'Hanlon performed the autopsy on Young's body. In his testimony to- day he said: My present opinion is not the opinion I formerly. expressed to Coroner Brown
 The counsel for the defense, Lawyer Levy, asked: Did you report this case to Coroner Brown as one of suicide 2"
 
 firmative MT. Levy asked: "po you now say that in your best Judgment it is a case of suicide?'
 '.No; I wont say that.
 Didn't you say so once?N was asked. T did, but I think now it is a case for the jury to decide. thought at the time that detected powder marks on the hands of Caesar Young?'
 Assistant District Attorney Rand then produced the official report of Dr. OHanlon, which did not define the case as one of suicide, and the doctor said that he simply expressed the suicide opinion in conversation with Coroner Brown.
 MT. Rand asked the witness if he still held the opinion that he expressed to Coroner Brown, and Dr. O'Hanlon replied: T will only say this: My opin- ion now is not what it was when talk ed to Coroner Brown.
 This incident came at the close of the days proceedings.
 At to-day's hearing the revolver with which Young was killed was produced and Identified by police witnesses.
 Police Captain Sweeney told of a conversation he had with Miss Patter- son soon after her arrest in which she said she had put her hand in Young $ pocket after the shot had been fired, and looked at the revolver and then dropped it back in the pocket.
 The scenes on West Broadway where the shooting took place were gone over by witnesses and the cab. driver who was on the box when Young was shot was on the stand, but the testimony did not differ materially from that at the previous trials. When Frederick Michaels the cab driver, was asked why he did no took in the cab when he heard the shot fired, he replied: It wasn't my place. Suppose I had looked in and got shot?"
 One feature of the day which inter- ested the big crowd of spectators was the production of a skeleton to illus trate the course the bullet took when young was shot.
