WILLIAM r."
Attempt to Make Typographical Union
Tail to Politicians Kite
Meets With Dismal
Failure

Special to The Herald.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Aug. 17.-An
attempt on the part of the delegates
to the International Typographical
union convention to indorse and COM
mind William r. Hearst met with de-
feat today
In fact 1t was a dismal failure, for
there were those present who insisted
that the union should not become a
tail to any politicians kite, and a COM
promise substitute will be offered to-
morrow.
When the resolution was introduced
it met with a storm Of protests from
the delegates assembled
1t was direct effort to place Hearst
in favorable light before the union
men assembled, and the protest was
no less direct slap at Hearst and all
other politicians who now or in the
future may attempt to secure prestige
and influence by having his name
brought before union convention.
The opposition was led by Delegate
McCulloch' of Omaha.

Shock to Depostors
3v Aa~ocinied Press.

BOSTON, Aug. 1.-THE business SOM
munity ofNChelsea was tsurprised when
II became known that the First Ma
tional bank sof that city, one of the
oldest Institutions in this section of
the state. had been closed.
Many of the small tradesmen had
practically all of their ready money in
the bank and it is expected that re-
lief will be afforded by the Winnisimet
National bank of Chelsea, which has
offered TO pay to depositors of the
First National bank so per cent of their
accounts.
Throngs of depositors appeared at the
bank today. There was, however, no
disorder. 1t is said that the difficulties
at the bank were brought about by a
steady transfer of large accounts to
Boston banks and the Chelsea bank was
thereby hampered for ready money
II has been learned that the First
National bank was heavily involved IN
real estate to the extent of about
$5O0.O0O
There were small runs on the Chelsea
Savings and Cooperative Provident
banks today.

MAY TIE UP ALL SHIPPING
Loneshoremen at Eureka Refuse to
Perform Duties Belonging
to Sailors
BY Associated Press.

EUREKA, Aug. 17.-The Eureka
longshoremen, at a special meeting last
night. struck a severe blow to. ship
ping when they decided not to drive
winches in loading vessels handle
ropes or perform any duties belonging
to sailors.
They will also refuse to work in
event non-union men drive the winches.
Since the strike of the sailors the
stevedores have been doing all the work
necessary In loading vessels The long
shoremen however. win work in the
holds OF vessels loaded by hand, but
it is thought unlikely that steamers
will try to take on cargoes by such a
slow method.
All vessels in port will be given dis
patch, but no other non-union vessels
will be touched unless union sailors
drive the winches and haul the lines
aboard the vessels. The action of the
union practically means the tying up
of shipping at this port.

the lynching of Bob Davis. 1t
follows In part:
I'VE, the negroes of this county,

in anything so serious as this you have

I'VE cannot afford, as a race, to up

only thing wanted was the right man.
and that is what we had and we are

With tears coursing down his cheeks
and his body convulsed with sobs.
Ernest q. Stackpole, on trial in depart
ment one of the superior court for the
murder of Joel Scheck, broke down
last night during a special session of
court and wept for several minuets
while his attorney, Fred Thompson,
was delivering the final oration to the
jury In behalf Of the accused man.
The emotion shown by Stackpole was
timely and fitted in well with the re-
marks of his attorney.
Since the very first of the trial Stack
pole has been a veritable man of iron.
showing little interest in the case and
little or no sympathy for himself,
which is a rare trait in criminals.
While Aurellia Scheck told the
hideous details of the murder Of her
husband and pointed Stackpole out as
the perpetrator Of the deed, StackpoIe
sat by with sneer on his lip and his
cold, gray eyes swapping spitefully at
the witness against him.
Breakdown Surprises
All the way through the case he
acted more like an Interested spectator
than the accused, and so when he
broke down last night it was more than
even his intimate friends had sus-
pected and in a fash the sympathy Of
that audience began to turn and there
was a look OF pity on the faces of the
women as they, gazed with morbid
curiosity. at the prisoner.
Many, of them leaned far over the
railing and attempted to peer In Stack
pole's face as though they desired to
actually count the number of tears
shed by him.
But Stackpole-whether or not the
sobbing was sincere-was close on the
verge of nervous breakdown and he
didn't care who knew it.
Attorney Thompson had been talking
Of hanging in general and of the pro-
posed hanging of Stackpole. as CON
templated by the prosecution, in par
ticular- With great care for detail
Thompson had begun to work on the
feelings and sympathies of the Jury.
He was fairly making the jurors
writhe with the horror of a hanging.
Paints Scaffold Picture
link Oh tniS young Indns SAID
Thompson in passionate voice, as he
leaned far over toward the jurymen.
Think of this young man being sent
to the scaffold by you.
HE will be taken out of that peni-
tentiary cell in the north Straight to
the jail yard he will be taken and along
the pathway to the edge of the scaf-
fold. The beam will hang above him
like the hand of death.
'It will be his last moment. His
hands will be tried behind him and he
will be marched up those steps, the
last steps he viii ever take. Then his
knees will be strapped together and he
will be told to utter the last words he
will ever utter on this earth. The
black cap will be put over his face
and tied and he will be stood on the
trap. Then the moose will be placed
about his neck and the trap will be
sprung"

court room would have been given a

gurgling sound generally emanating
from the throat of hanged person
