man Littlefield He De-
fies Gompers.

Bath, Maine, Sept 6.-The gauntlet
was hurled directly at Samuel Gompers
and the American Federation of Labor
by Secretary of War William H. Taft,
who addressed a large audience here
last night in behalf of Charles E. Lit
tlefield, candidate for reelection to con-
gress from the Second Maine district.

'Mr. Gompers and his associates are
seeking to make the workingmen who
violate the rights of others in labor
disputes privileged class, and secure
to them unequal immunity from the eff
fective processes of the law" This was
Secretary Taft's text, speaking for the
national administration 1t comedies
with similar declaration from Speak
er Cannon, made recently. The Amer
ican Federation of Labor is seeking the
defeat of Congressman Littlefield in
the campaign which closes Saturday
night. Mr.. Littlefield opposed the pas
sage Of the Gompers anti-injunction
bill in the late session of congress, and
the heaviest guns in the republican
party have been brought to the state
to assist in the battle.

Nothing could be further from the
truth than that the administration
would be gratified at the defeat of Con-
gressman Littlefield,'' asserted Secre-
tary Taft. He is legislator of abil-
ity, honesty and courage, with high
ideals and clear perception. In his de-
feat the public and the republican par
ty would lose a most useful represen-

liveliest interest in and desire for his
success.
"Mr. Littlefield, together with Mr..
Cannon and some other congressman.

Grand JURY
REPORTS
ACTION IN MAYALL CASE, COUN-
TERFEIT CASES AND THOSE OF
THE PORT. RICANs.

The Feneral Grand jury made a par
tial report to Judge Dole this morning
returning a number of indictments.
Among them was one of o. Mayall,
for adultery. Mayall is the young man
who was employed by a japanese hus-
band to teach his wife English and
dinner table manners until the teaching
gave way to love-making, as is alleged
and then came the trouble which the
Grand jury has been investigating.
Indictments We're also returned a
gainst William Moore, John Duffy and
John Rooney, seamen of the transport
ShHrman charging them with con-
spiracy to pass a counterfeit ten dollar
bill. These are the men who were ar
rested for trying to pass the bill when
the transport was here in October.
Another of the indictments is against
David Wahine, charging him with en-
bezzling 400 cartridges of the U. S.
Army. Porto Ricans charged with
adultery and bigamy are other defen-
dants.
One indictment returned was kept on
the secret file. 1t is understood to be
against the former postmaster of Waia-
lua. charging him with embezzlement
of post Office funds.

CLAIM
UNDER AN
OLD Will
LAST TESTAMENT OF MAN WHO
DIED OVER TWENTY YEARS
AGO RESURRECTED.

Henry Phillips and others, minors,
by their guardian w. Savidge have
asked the Circuit Court to cOnstrue
the will of the late John Blessing, who
died in 1884, claiming that under its
provisions they are entitled to a fee
simple title to about six acres of land
at Kahaluu, this island, being grand
children of Beesing. Their suit was
filed by w. c. Achi this morning.
The suit is against Lila Souza in
her own capacity and as executrix of
the will of the late Anna Beesing, j..
A. Magoon, her agent, and Sing Hop
Wan. 1t is set forth that in his will
John Blessing left the property con-
cerned to his daughter, Anna Blessing,
for life, and it is claimed that a proper
construction of the will is that at her
death it went to her children. Instead,
she made a will leaving it to
Lila Souza, the defendant, who now
has it, The plaintiffs are the children
of decedent, and they ask the court to
construe the John Blessing will, to find
out whether his daughter had a right
to make a will disposing of the prop
erty.

Has the worlds wireless record for

that it had been. The wireless oper-

from some ship signed "F'' had been

to be at target practice off Stanta

the wireless call was from the Chicago
