THE {. NJ. B. A.
Supreme President viii
Attend Convention to
Be Held Here in Sep.
tenber.

An acceptance of the invita-
tion to attend the Catholic
Mutual Benefit Association conven.
ton from Supreme President j. j..
Hynes of Buffalo. has just been re-
ceived by the executive committee.
This will be good news to the men,
bers as 1t was considered very doubt
full if he would be able to attend in
person. .,.. ,4as,,s
The convention will be held Sep
tember II and IL in Basts' Hall. and
Grand President Waechter stated yes
terday that the preliminary work is
progressing rapidly. and the indica-
tions are that this will be the most
successful gathering the association
has ever held.
There will be about 125 officers and
delegates present, besides many mem
bers of the clergy, and with the hun.
dreds Of members. the committees will
be kept busy.
Besides the election of the grand
officers, many questions of great i'm
portance to the members of the asso-
citation will be taken up, and many
communications in regard to hotel ac-
commodations have already been re-
ceived. But in this matter Canton
has advantages over any city of it's
size in the state and no trouble is
anticipated from this source.
The newly elected offices will be in
stalled Tuesday afternoon by Supreme
President Hynes. On the evening OF
the 18th an elaborate banquet will be
held in the Auditorium for which
tickets are now selling rapidly, as
the capacity, it is not believed, will
accommodate all who desire to attend
To this all Catholic societies OF
Stark county are invited.
Mr.. Waechter, who will act as toast
master, said that the program has
not been completed but efforts are be
ing made to secure the best orators
and musicians possible. Those already
secured are Supreme President Hynes
on "Our Association" and Rev. Faith
er Hassel of this city, whose subject
will be Catholic Citizenship" The
musical program has not been made
public but in all probability there
will be several local soloists and mu-
sicians to take part.
The convention will bring several
thousand people to Canton, and with
over 600 members in the city the var
ious committees will be kept busy to
accommodate them all.

IMMUNITY
To Different Railroad
! Officials Will be the
I Price of Standard Oil
indictments.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-Immunity to diff
ferent railroad officials from prosecu-
ton for violating interstate COM
merce laws in giving rebates to the
Standard Oil company is the price
which the federal authorities are pay
ing for testimony upon which they
will rely to secure the conviction of
the Standard Oil company and some
of it's officials.
1t was announced today by local
railroad men that they will have no
hesitancy in uncovering all the trans
actions between the roads and the oil
combine to the federal grand Jury be-
cause they are sure they will them7
selves be exempt from prosecution.
Open notice was served that the Of
ticials of the roads would not give in
formation because in so doing they
would be placing themselves and their
own roads in danger of indictment,
After consultation between counsel
for the railroads and for the govern
ment the silence of the railroads was
broken. 1t was explained by one of
the leading local railroad attorneys
today that a definite understanding
had been reached between their eli
ents and the department of justice.
1t is now conceded by the federal
officials that the testimony given by
railroad men is of the greatest i'm
portance and that upon it's basis in
dictments have been agreed upon.

GOMPERS FIRES
Anther 5roadside at Chairman Shonts
of the Canal Commission.

Washington. Aug. 13-President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor this afternoon fired another
broadside at Chairman Shonts, of the
isthmian Canal commission, in the
controversy now raging between the
canal officials and the representatives
of organized labor respecting the en-
ployment of Chinese coolies, and the
application of the eight hour law to
the canal zone. In prepared state
ment, Mr.. Gompers says:
"The statement given out Ton Sun
day night in New York; by Mr.
Shonts, chairman of the Panama canal
commissionf is a rare document, If
his judgment on canal matters is as
q wide of accuracy as his statement of
fact and law, the people are certainly
in bad way so far as any hope of
the actual completion of the canal,
whether near or remote.
He states further: The law ex-
cluding Chinese from the United
States and its possessions was passed
in March, 1906
This is another one Of Mr. Shonts'
absurdities. The law of April, 1903,
being an amendment of the law of
1888 regarding Chinese importation.
Congress has not legislated further
upon that subject Does Mr.. Shonts
contend that the Panama canal is
not under the jurisdiction of the Unit
ed States?"

iRins and his associates would like to
squelch, is the proof about bank con.
tributions to campaign funds. Senator
TilIman was more than oncc prodded
about the source Of his information,
but in the Hopkins matter at least
they woke up the wrong passenger.

matter in which,. the national banks
were assessed for the benefit Of the Re.

the contents Of the article, and that
he had read 1T himself. "Perhaps."
aid Mr.. Tillman, THAT accounts for
your Indifference to have 1t read
again" The article was then read by
the clerk. Mr.. Tillman called atten-

urges the committee on elections to
act on his bill regarding the contribu-
lions OF national ba. ks, but that the
bill Still hangs fire. Senator Lodge de.
mandcd to know who "this man Breen

Senator Tillman produced ccrtifica-
ties of Mr.. Breen's character by letters
or recommendation from prominent
men, and among them was one from
Senator Knox and another from Vice
President Fail banks. Senator Knox
took tie floor and declared that Mr..
Brcen! was a person of thorough rclia-
bility. Mr.. Tillman said that there
was something yet uncovered worse
