C. F. D. TALKS IMMIGRATION.
One Delegate Declares That the Talk q
Restriction Is Due to Selflshness.


Restriction Is Due to Selnshness.
j. w. Sullivan, editor OF the official organ
Of the United Garment Workers, who spoke
before the New York Civic Federation some
weeks ago In advocacy of restriction Of i'm
migration, got the floor at yesterdays
meeting Of the Central Federated Union to
speak on the subject. Sullivan said that
the assertions that the great bulk OF the
people now coming to this country were
desirable we're misleading. He believed in
either some kind Of an exclusion policy or
practical restriction of immigrants;
unions ought to. have the principal voice
in the matter, Last year % 900 tailors ar
rived here from Europe. They will be
competing with the union men here. Twenty
years ago we did not have the combinations
Of employers that we have now and la Dor
should have the most voice in saying what
immigrants should come here
Ephraim Kaufman of the United Gar
ment Workers, after Sullivan had finished,
wanted a set Of resolutions read in reference
to the subject. This was strenuously OPP,
posed by several delegates on the ground
that it was too hot, and a motion was made
to table them for the present. James DAILY
of the Dock Workers Union supported this
proposition.
Il think it would be unfair to infct any
further punishment on this body at the
present, he said.
When the motion to table the resolutions
was put to the meeting James P. Archibald
Of the Paper Hangers Union, who is secre-
tary of the New York Civic Federation,
protested.
1T is not fair to withdraw these resolu-
tons, he said. NO matter what they are
think statements have been made here
which it is in the interests Of the labor unions
to discuss. We, have no right to take
narrow view Of the question Of immigration.
The policy is an absolutely selfish one and
statistics show that it is a false one. Why
should people who come here and reap the
benefits of the freedom and opportunity Of
this country seek to deny it to others"
The chairman would not allow Archibald
to proceed. Archibald got round of APP
plause, all the same. 1t was then decided
to table the resolutions until some future
time "

Farrell's Children Found HIS Bsdy-Mm-
derer Commits Suicide.
WnxBsBABRz Pa. July s.-James Far
rel, a former policeman Of Plymouth,
was found murdered this afternoon by
his two little daughters. In running to
give tho alarm they came upon the body
OF his murderer, James Leo his first cousin,
who had killed himself
Farrell and his daughters left Plymouth
early this morning for tho McNally farm
at Chase. jackson township, seven miles
away To pick huckleberries. Late this
afternoon the girls went over a small hill
leaving their father few hundred yards
away and within sight Of the farmhouse
where they had a short time before OBJ
tanned milk for their lunch.
An hour later they returned and at the
spot where they left their father they found
his body. He had been stabbed several
times and his skull crushed with club.
In historical fright they rushed for the
farmhouse and on the way passed the body
Of John Lee, whose throat was cut.
Coroner Dodson says it Is apparent that
Lee. who, is is said, was demented stole
which was found near the body, broken
in three pieces and covered with blood.
Then, apparently in fit of insane rage, Lee
had stabbed the helpless man many times
in the chest, back and neck, there being
several wounds which would have caused
death. A large knife with which these
wounds were inflicted was found close to
Farrell's body.
Lee then went rod away, took a razor
from his pocket, replaced the case In which
he carried it and then out his jugular vein.
No one knows Of any enmity existing be-
tween the cousins, and the murder Is at
tributed to Lees insane fit.

ROCK POWDER KILLS EIGHT.
ANOTHER HORROR AT THE SCENE
OF THE PENNSYLVANIA WRECK.

Explosive Was Owned by the Contractor
Whose Dynamite Blew Up the Express
Train Near NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Boss
| Wiseman Is One Of the Victims.
HARRISBURG, Pa, July s.-One hundred
pounds Of Contractor a. 8. Krbaugh's
rock powder exploded this morning, directly
across the Susquehanna road from the scene
Of the big wreck Of May IL, when . carload
Of the same contractors explosive blew
up Pennsylvania Railroad express train
and killed twenty-three passengers. The
explosion Of to-day killed eight and injured
two. All the victims were employees Of
Kerbaugh and were at work on new
Pennsylvania freight line across the river
from South Harrisburg.
The dead are: James Wiseman; shooter
boss. Of ss Front avenue, Buffalo, N Y;
Arthur Green and Robert Thompson,
negro steam drillers; Frank Mulluch,
Slav. and three Italians and a Slav who
were known only by numbers. The injured
are William Reed and G. C. Miller.
The men were preparing for what is called
big shoot which consists OF series Of
blasts, the charges being set of stimuli
taneously. Five holes had been filled with
powder and the men we're at work on the
sixth when it -let 60" Probably sand got
into the hole and the iron bar with which
the men were tamping down the charge
caused spark by scraping on the sand.
John Shelter, a fireman working about
some donkey engines $50 feet away, says
There was one shock. then two heavier
shocks, and after that all could see was
shower Of falling rocks and fragments Of
bodies" Shelter was turned over three
times by the explosion. An Italian water
boy was hurled fifty feet and every stitch
Of clothing torn from his body. j. c. Miller,
sitting 200 feet from the blast, was blown
twenty-five feet. Wiseman's body was
identified only by the fact that he dyed his
hair. One Italian escaped because fellow
workman had playfully snatched his hat
and run with it The owner made after the
hat and got out Of range just in time. The
vacuum was so great that the side of a tool
shed nearby was torn clear out and drawn
twenty feet toward the blast. The explo-
sion shook the country for miles around
A purse belt containing $3.50 was found 100
feet from the scene.

SILHOUETTE BILLs BIG FIND.
It's . POstags Stamp Gum That Defles
Humid and Hot Weather.

William F. Wood, commonly known as
Silhouette Bill, is dreaming Of auto
mobiles and country residences and copper
stocks these days.
Mr.. Wood is the young man who Gu ts your
profile out OF black paper while you wait
and hands it over to you stuck like postage
stamp on a neat card, two for a quarter
He practised in the Waldorf-Astoria all
last winter and Is now filling a summer
engagement at Luna Park. He has cut
his way around the world three times with
his scissors. The next time he expects to
cut his way with private steam yacht
For Bill has invented an invention.
Ever since he has been cutting silhouettes
Bill has been bothered by the way the gum
on his black paper got sticky in the hot,
moist weather Of the seashore. The sheets
would cling together in spite Of all he could
do, and the paper would curl, making his
cutting uncertain.
He has experimental for many years to
find satisfactory gum This summer he
had an unusual lot Of trouble, and he went
at it harder than ever.
One night about three weeks ago, as he
was going to bed, Silhouette Bill had an
idea. Just as he was, in his nightshirt
he jumped out OF bed and worked all night.
BY morning he had managed to mix a
gum which, he proved to his own satisfac-
ton, would neither stick in humid weather
nor cause the paper to curl.
A few days later he mentioned his dis
covery to the local manager OF the firm
from which he buys his paper. This happens
to be the biggest label concern in the coun-
try. The manager got interested and asked
for samples. And last week one OF the
heads Of the firm came up from Washington
to talk the discovery over. 1t is understood
that the house has its eye on a Government
postage stamp contract. A gum which
will not get sticky in hot weather is thing
which the Government has ardently desired
ever since postage stamps came into use.
The experts Of the firm are making further
experiments with Mr.. Woods new gum.

Workers. Who Would Save the World.
CHICAGO, July s.-That Eugene V. Debs,
who has been regarded as the head and
front OF the industrial unionist movement,
practically has withdrawn from the Indus
trial Workers OF the World, the new inter
national labor union whic was launched
yesterday by the convention at Brands
Hall, became the general understanding
when he was not present to be installed as
member.
This practically knocks the new organi-
zation in the head at its inception, because
only minor lights are left in control of tbs
movement. which is organized for the pu--
pose Of saving the world in general.
Debs, who was looked upon as the oracle
and inspiration Of the convention, has not
been present at a session since last week,
when he made a speech denouncing Com
pers and Shea as misleaders of the working
class and declared that pure and simple
unionism had outgrown its usefulness. He
Is said to have become Disguised with the

default of 5000 bail There is at present
no formal charge against DR.. Morgan, but
he is held for further examination.
DR.. Morgan told Coroner Scholer that
he had signed the death certificate OF the
girl and assigned the cause OF death with
out even having seen the patient. DR..
Morgan said that DR.. Kinney had assured
him that the case was perfectly regular
but had said that the Board OF Health was
after him and that no matter what cause
OF death was given an investigation would
follow If his name appeared on q certificate
OF death. DR.. Morgan said that he signed
the paper as favor to his friend and stated
that he believed such favors to be rather
common among physicians.
In the midst Of DR.. Morgan's talk the
Coroner suggested that he had better OBJ
