HIS THREAT TO DEFEAT THE
POPULAR SPEAKER GIVES
e LATTER NO CONCERN.

WASHINGTON, OCT. ~ Samuel
Gompsrs, the president of the Ameri.
can Federation Of Labor, has started
on his second stamping tour and will
continue in the campaign until cleo
ton day. His objective point is the
DanvfIte district in Illinois, where he
will fight against the reelection of
Speaker Cannon. Mr.. Gompers, how.
ever, will make a number of-speeches
before he reaches Illinois, going to
Connecticut, New Jersey, and Penn
sylvania. He will not, however. go
into Maryland, for evidently he be-
lievesF his fight against Representa-
tive Mudd to be in vain, for he Will
90 around Maryland, speaking IN
Scranton and Williamsport, Pa, the
last part Of this week, and then so
direct to Speaker Cannon's district.
So confident is Mr.. Gompers OF de-
featIng Speaker Cannon and electIns
the labor candidates Taylor, that he
intends to remain in Illinois until No
yember Fe has made every attempt
to lniuce John Mitchell to join him In
the stumplng tour in Speaker Can
mons district, but up to this time MI
Mitchell has refused. Mr.. GomDers
believes, however, that If he can In
duce the Democrats to support Tay'
Ior then Mitchell will, have to SHOW
his hand and come into the campaign.
Mr.. Gompers' determination to speak
in Mr.. Cannon's district has not wor'
ried that worthy Republican, nor has
1t caused him to curtail his stamping
tour in the east. Speaker Cannon Is
so confident Of his reelection that he
will not make any speeches in his
district until the very end of the cam
paign. 1t has always been the Speak
er's habit to close the campaign in
his district, and addresses a grand raj
| ~ at panville the night before the
election, and he will follow this pro
gramme this year.
Before leaving Washington Mr.
Gompers announced that he expected
10 go to New York before the cleo
ton and make some speeches for
Hearst Mr.. Gompers does not in,
tend, however, to speak in New York
city, but his programme is TO talk in
several places in the northern part OF
the State, where he hopes to hold the
labor vote for Hearst.

HEARIST GETTING
INTO DEEP WATER
WIDENs THE BREACH WITH TAM!
MANY BY TURNING DOWN
TWO NOMINEES.

NEW YORK, oct. 17.-Just when
everybody was beginning to believe
that the trouble between Hearst and
Tammany Hall over the nominations
on the local ticket, particularly with
reference to the candidates for judi.
cial places, the statement of the Dem
ocratlc candidate for governor that
he, would not stand for two of the
Tammany candidates already nominal
ed under the agreement between Chas.
F. Murphy and the managers of the
independence League fell like bomb.
shell in local Democratic circles. The
news that the agreement would not be
carried out in full name early this
morning, when the executive commit
tee OF the independence League, after
a long session, gave out a statement
that 1t would not indorse the nomina-
ton Of John F. Brady, a close friend
of Borough President Haffen and a
candidate for Supreme Court Justice,
or of Francis F. McAvoy. a brother Of
Thomas F. McAvoy, who was put up
for the Court of General Sessions by
the Tammany Convention. Thomas F.
McAvoy is a former police inspector
and deputy commissioner Of that de.
partment, and he is a power in Tam
many Hall. He is chairman Of the
general committee of the organization.
To make the blow stronger Mr..
Hearst has insisted that City Magis'
tratle Matthew P. Breen, who was
turned down in the Tammany conven-
ton should be nominated in place OF
Brady. and that Otto Rosalsliy, the Re
publican candidate for the Court OF
General Sessions, should be Endorsed
instead of McAvoy. Mr.. Hearst is
friendly to Rosalsky because the lat
ter who is serving as judge by APP
pointment, was strenuous in his efforts
TO get the grand jury to indlct the
members of the Ice Trust when their
case was up for consideration last
summer.

House. wednesday, October nth.
The oyerworlsed expression. Three
hours Of thrills and laughter" applies
to this new play. truthfully but 1t fails
to do Justice Is the true merit Of the
production in that It gives no idea Of
the clever originality Of the plot or
the skill of the dramatist, Mr.. G. E.
Sim, in its development.
In the prologue Of the play, the trials
Of party of emigrants beset by hos,
tile indians are shown in graphic
manner, during the fight which takes
place there. Red Wolf, the chief Of
a friendly tribe who is with the par.
ty, is MORALLY wounded and James
Howard and his wife adopt the infant
daughter of the chief, taking her to
their home in Arkansas where they
rear her as their own child with their
own daughter, Texas Howard Just
before Red Wolfe dies he turns over a
sack of gold to Howard to keep in
trust for Pamnena, the Indian girl.
Towards partner insists on an imme,
diate division OF the fortune which
Howard refuses and following quar-,
rel in which Jim Dexter attempts to
kill Howard, his partner, he is SEN
fenced to prison. Little Fox, the In.
dian boy who has been a friend to the
Towards returns with them and with
Towards daughter and Pamnena he
has the best Of educational advantages.
In the next scene, eighteen years later,
Jim Dexter has escaped from prison
and returned 10 the Arkansas farm ad.
joining Towards, bent on killing his
former partner in revenge for his long
Imprisonment His plot for revenge
includes the kidnapping of Pamnena
but Texas Howard is taken by mis-
take. She is recovered however, main
ly through the efforts of Little Fox,
and justice is meted out to the con
spirators.
Although interesting and extremely
thrilling at all times, the play is not
one of the kind that depends on cheap
sensauonalism for its effect and in its
strong climaxes there are no absurd
situations that in real life would be
impossible. Clean and refreshing
comedy is a prominent feature in the
play and a generous number of good
speclalties are introduced with ef'
feet.
