GOMPERS ENDORSED
American Federation of
Labor Opposes Form
alton of Labor
Party.

MINNEAPoLIs, Nov. 2O.-Amid secenes
OF enthusiasm, the American Federation
OF Labor tonight endorsed the political
policy of President Gompers during the
campaign and urged a continuance Of
activity along independent lines, strong.
ly condemning, however, the idea of af.
filiating with any special party, and go.
ing on record as opposed to forming a
national labor party.
Although the committee on the presi.
dents report, at the opening OF the after.
noon session. made favorable recon-
mendation regarding active participation
OF workingmen in electing friends of la
Dor as legislators, it was not until seven
O'Clock this evening, that the delegates
were ready to go on record by casting a
vote on the committees recommenda.
ton, but when they did vote it was prac.
tically unanimous for its adoption.
President Gompers spoke in defense oi
the stand he took in the last campaign
reiterated his accusations against Con-
gressman Littleaeld, Of Maine, 40 an en-
emy to organized labor, and he pro.
nounced a severe arraignment against
the socialist party, which, he said
talks for everything and does nothing"
john Mitchell was present but took nc
part in the discussion.

FOR CRIMINAL LIBEL.
Editor kibbe will Have Two Libel
Cases to Defend.


Editor f. G. Kibbe, OF the Elma
Chronicle, was notified last Monday
that F. r. Archer, county assessor, and
chairman Of the republican county CEN
tral committee, had fled complaint in
Judge Fox's court of criminal libel
against him, and the accommodating edi-
tor came down on the afternoon train,
and, waving examination, gave bonds
in the sum Of $3.50 to answer in the gu.
perior court.
The complaint sets out an article that
appeared in the Chronicle during the
campaign, alleged to reflect upon the
personal, political, and official character
OF Mr.. Archer, and makes the second
charge Of libel preferred against the
doughty editor OF the Chr onicle since the
election.
Editor Kibbie is envied by all his 10.
cal contemporaries by reason of those
suits. as they are sure to boost his pape r.
Although lifelong republican, he re.
fused to support the county ticket at tn 9
recent election, and did not fail to score
the gang in control OF that party all
during the campaign.

EMMA CLNUDlNA LOST.
Crippled Schooner Disappears From
PlaCe:.She Was Anchored.

The schooner Emma Claudina has dis.
appeared from the place she was an
chored and abandoned by her crew last
week, about six miles off Moclips, and
Capt. Thomas Stream believes she
pounded to pieces onthe beach.
The schooner was anchored in thirteen
fathoms of water, near the mouth of the
Quiniault river, and is believed to have
broken up during the heavy storm last
Wednesday night, as the tugs that went
to bring her into port could find no trace
of her. Capt. Stream has filed report
OF her wreck with Collector Dorm.
The Emma Claudina was owned by
the Hart Wood Lumber Co., of this city,
and was fully insured. She was built in
1882, and was registered 1856 tons.
Capt. Tom Stream and his crew have
filed afildavits with Collector Dorm, in
which they accuse Capt Gronoold, of
the schooner Glendale, of refusing to aid
the Claudina last Tuesday morning, when
she signaled that ship that her rudder
was gone, and the vessel helpless, and
the matter will be investigated. Capt.
stream and his crew lost all their per-
sonal effects, getting away from the dis
abled schooner with nothing but the
clothing they were wearing.

CENTRALIA SOUcALS.
High School Football Team Complains
of Unfair Treatment.

of Unfair Treatment.
In u lengthy communication to the
Tacoma Ledger, the Centralia High
school football team complains of their
treatment at the game here last Sstur-
day, and threatens to sever football rela-
tions with Aberdeen. The article, in
part, follows:
CENTRALIA, Nov 19.-The Centralia
High school football team returned Sum
day from Aberdeen, where Saturday
they were officially declared to have
played nothing to nothing game against
Aberdeen High school. The boys claim
that the game was so unpleasant that
probably athletic relations with Aber-
deem will be broken off. Not only were
members of the Centralia team insulted
at the game, but such tactics were EN-
ployed to win that the Centralia High
school does not care to play Aberdeen
again.
In the Aberdeen report of the game,
great stress was laid on the fact that H.
Grimm, who last year attended the uni
verify three months, played in the game.
Grimm is taking regular work in the
Centralia High school, intending to re-
sumo his studies at the university next
year, as he has never graduated from the
High school, and his use by the High
school is perfectly legitimate. On the
other hand, the Aberdeen people forgot
to mention the fact that Warren Egerer,
member Of the Aberdeen town team
and crack football player, was i'm.
pressed into service after attending
school a few days to play football against
Centralia.

RETURNS FROM GRAND FORKS
ARE IN SUSPICION.
Indications Are that They were Nan.
ipuIated in NOntesanO Against
Peter r. Clark. Public Opinion De.
mands Grand Jury Inve vestigation
of Alleged Frauds.

Chehalis county has not had a grand
jury IN twenty.four:: years, but if there
be modicum OF truth in the allegations
that are being publicly made. through
the press and otherwise, of fraud in the
conduct and returns OF the late election,
1t is full time such body be called the
matters Carefully and impartially inves.
tgated. and the gnilty, if anv there be,
punished. The authorities owe it to the
good name Of Chehalis county that the
allegations be probed to the bottom, to
the end that the world be info, med that
the sanctity of the ballot is regarded in
Chehalis county.
The editor Of the,Elma Chronicle has
made grave charges concerning the man.
agement Of the election, and has two Ii.
bel suits on his hands in consequence,
and his allegations should be investiga-
ted with view to the punishment of
such guilty as may be found.
From the Grand Forks precinct comes
word OF possible tampering with the re-
turns with view to..'defeat Peter F.
Clark, democratic candidate for auditor,
whom the returns show to be but 6s
votes behind his competitor. 1t is a
matter of common rumor at Grand Forks
and in Aberdeen that the returns from
that precinct were taken to the Office ol
an attorney in Montesano instead of to
the auditors Office. The suspicion ia
fostered by the known facts that the
messenger from Grand Forks went ia
Montesano on the $40 a. IN. train from
Aberdeen, which should have placed the
returns in the hands of the auditor by
9:30 o'clock. The returns did not reach
that officer until the afternoon, and a
grand jury should be able to find out
where they sojourned and just what was
did with them.
When those returns were canvassed,
they showed but one vote for Clark,
while some democratic candidates, who'll
ly unknown in that vicinity received 8
and 8 votes. Mr.. Clark has number
of personal as we'll as political friends in
that precinct, who are ready to make
affidavit that they voted for him, several
of whom haye called at the HERALD Of
flee and expressed a willingness and
even anxiety.so to do.
To be sure. it may be said that Mr..
Clark has his remedy; that he could de-
mand recount If he felt wronged. bu.
Mr.. Clark is not squealer, and his
wrong is tritling compared to the wrong
done the county. If the votes of the
people can be nullifed in this manner
without criminal prosecution following,
then tit may we'll be said that popular
suffrage in Chehalis county is a delusion.
