Emerson staggered out Of the room suffer-
ing from a severe but not fatal wound.
The girl was found in Mysteries over the
corpse OF her father and crying that she

Drake, who was a wealthy planter,

his pistol, which was on a table and returned
the fire.
The father fred four shots, but only one
took effect, the bullet striking Emerson in
the thigh.
After being wounded Emerson fired the
shot that killed Drake. After Emerson

killed became known there was 20 much
indignation expressed against Emerson

LABOR'S POLITICAL PLANS.
Chairman or the Independent Party Reports
Progress to Federated Union.

According to James Hatch, chairman
Of the committee on platform Of the Inde-
pendent Labor party, formed under the
auspices OF the Central Federated Union
last week, more people would have attended
its first meeting il they had not been con-
fused as to the place. They had been told
that the meeting was to be at 20 Cooper
Square, but some Of them wandered around
and tried various other halls.
"As it was, he said, "there was a larger
attendance than we expected. Another
reason why many people did not come
was that they supposed, as we learned
Of the G. F. u. This was a mistake, as any
man who holds a card in any legitimate
union can join the party. We hope to have
O big crowd at ouT next meeting, on Thurs
day night, when we will start in to work
in real earnest
Hatch also said that all information
could be procured at the temporary head
quarters Of the party at Beethoven Hall.
He recommended every delegate to do
SOM missionary work for the party.
Delegate DAILY, a member of the platform
committee, said that work was o going
on in the Assembly districts, where meas
ures were taken to organize trade union
clubs in each district. He reminded the
G. F. U. that the campaign would soon be
in full blast and that there was no time
to be lost in getting together the proposed

GUIDE WINS SQUADRON RUN
Gravesend Bay Boat Takes Honors IN

NEW HAVEN. Aug. l2.-Spirited saoinH
marked the third days run Of the Brooklyn
Yacht Club. which is cruising on Long Island
Sound together with the feet Of tho New
Rochelle Yacht Club. N. M. Campbeli's

squadron run from W. G. Towen's Nymph.
The winners Of the various classes were Com
modore Bird 8. Coler's Rusalka, which. N
corrected time. won the schooner class from
H. Doscher's zuhrah, the first schooner to
finish. Milton Smiths Josephine led the
feet to port and won Class X. She. however,
lost the prize for the first divislsion, on cor
rected time. to Nymph by IS seconds. Nymph
captured Class L.
Sydney Grants Bess, another Brooklyn
boat. won In class NJ, but lost the prize for
the second division to the Guide by 8
minutes 4 seconds. The run started under
the most trying conditions, as there wes
Black Rock, and the yachts before they
reached this port had to sail across the Sound
and round the BUOY of Stratford Shoal. IL
therefore gave the squadron a voyage OF
twenty-one miles.
The boats drifted for more than an hour.
When the wind, however, finally came out
Of the southwest the squadron had a fine
reach to the shoal buoy
After turning the buoy IT. was a run to
Norris Cove. Spinnakers, however. were
dropped early In the voyage. as the wind
hauled to the northeast. which gave the
boats a five mile bout to the finish line.

him to reconsider his decision Diminishing
the charges against Harry H. Bender, fiscal
supervisor Of State Charities, The asso-
Grafton wants the Governor TO give a public
hearing at which Bender and Prescott can
be examined under oath. The letter says
In part.
Mr.. Bender had been for years treasurer
Of the Republican county committee. and for
years his employees had contributed q fixed
percentage. His reputation az q successful
collector Of campaign funds was well known.
Is IL conceivable that his employees would
have given a fixed percentage Of their salaries.
even In certain instances contributing to the
success Of the party to which they were OPP
posed. had 1t not been that Mr.. Bender at one
and the same time held the position Of their
oflcial chief with power Of promotion and dis
missal and the position OF collector Of campaign
funds for the Republican party2 Would Pres
oott, who was not q competitive employee, but
subject to appointment and dismissal at will
by Mr.. Bender. have dared to make himself
liable to criminal prosecution by soliciting
funds, or would employees have given ut his
solicitation II he had not been acting and
had not been known to be acting for his SUI
perior?
Under these circumstances however far
IL may have been from, your intention. the
defence OF voluntary contributions in CON-
nection with this case will be construed by
employees as notice that they are expected
by the admlnIstration to contribute. although
the contribution must not be made throueb
