GOMPERS RETALIATES
ON MANUFACTURERS.
In Exhaustive Address President of
Federation of Labor Charges
Attempted Bribery.

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 21.-Presfdent
Samuel Gompers was yociferouslY cheered
in the convention of the Federation of
Labor when he branded as false all of the
charges brought against him recently by
the Manufacturers Association, and made
the counter charge that he had been at
tackled mainly because he refused to sell
out the federation to that organization.
In an instant Delegate Victor L. Berger,
of Milwaukee, leader of the Socialist fac
ton of the convention. was on his feet and
declared that in the past he had opposed
President Gompers. but TINT he would now
advocate his retention. This was the sig
nal for a second demonstration, and now
assures that Gompers will have no opposi-
ton.
Mr.. Gompers spoke for two hours. His
speech was typewriter and covered forty
odd pages. He took up and the
charges In detail, and said in conclusion.
"All that l now have to add is that there
Is not a scintllla of truth IN anything pub
lished OF which can be published by the
National Association of Manufacturers or
their hirelings which in any way reflect,
upon my integrity or morality. I have the
abiding faith they cannot do SO of any
member of the executive councii of the
American Federation of Labor.
II defy our enemies to do their worst"
The sensational charge of the speech was
that recently the Manufacturers Assoeia-
ton sent an agent to President. Gompers
trying to coerce or buy him into betray-
ing the trust put into his hands by the
labor federation. When he spdrned the
proposition and routed out the agent, Mr..
Gompers declares, the various attacks on
him began to appear.

ERIE TRAINS KEPT OFF
BRIDGE OWING TO FIRE.
Boiler Burst at Hackensack Draw and
Blaze Stalls Main Line Passen-
gers for Hours.
gers for Hours.

PATERSON. Nov. 21.-The boiler
used to generate steam to swing the
draw of the Erie Railroad bridge over
the Hackensack River let go with a
bang yesterday afternoon. The oper-
ator's tower on top of the structure
was wrecked and a few minutes later
caught on fire. There were no facilities
for fighting the flames, so they burned
un~interruptedly until 8 o'clock last
night, running along some of the
wooden beams and destroying part of
the approach to the BRIDGE
Traffic on the main line was held up
for six hours, all trains both east and
w~estbound being sent around by way
of the Newark branch. AS this is a
single. track line the congestion was
great and commuters anxious to get
home quick, were put to much incon-
venience. The damage done to the
bridge was slight, but it was deemed
unwise to run trains over the struc-
ture until the fire was e~xtinguished.
The fire was spectacular, the light ma
terial of which the tower was COM
posed making a pyre of flame against
the night.

SCENT MURDER
MYSTERY NEAR HOLLY.
Hunter with Roll of Money Missing;
Outfit Found, but Returning Com
panion Disappears.

MOUNT HOLLY, Nov. 21.-After the
authorities here were notified of a prob
able murder, Detective Ellis H Parker
went TO the pine district of Atsionf and to-
day began a search.
Two Italians. employed on the cranberry
bog of Rider & Wilkinson, near Hampton
Park, went out cunning twenty-four days
ago. One of the men had a fine outfit and
$500 on his person. His companion re-
turned home the same evening and the
following day quit his job and left for
parts unknown. Since then there have
been no tidings of either man. The find
Ing of a costly gun and cunning outfit in
the woods near Writings, about two weeks
ago, led farmers to search that locality,
but without result. On the gun were the
initials III. j. p"
The opinion prevails that the absent
man was buried, thrown in some stream,
or hidden in one of the dense swamps
which abound in that section. The blood
hound at the county jail may be used in
the search.

WILD DEER CHASES
POLICEMAN OVER FENCE,
stag Roams Through Jersey City Streets
Going as Mysteriously as 1t
Appeared.

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 21.-Policeman
Dunn, of the ocean Avenue STATION,
was quietly standing at Ocean and
Linden yesterday morning
twirling his nightstick when he saw
a wild deer leap over the fence at tne
grounds OF the home of Jacob j. bet
willer. The monarch of h glen"
also saw Dunn and Immediately 1t
made a dash for the portly cop. Dunn
yelled at the stag and then jumped
behind a pole, but the deer, unmindful
of constabulary commands, kept on
and the 225-pound policeman made a
dash for a fence, over which he made
record time, and dropped inside. The
deer followed suit, clearing both, and
kept on its way, and when last seen
was entering Currle's WOODS In
Bayonne.
The deer first attracted the atten-
ton of residents of the Greenvilie sec
ton who happened to be out on the
streets at Z o'clock, and who were
startled at seeing 1t leaping over
fences separating rear yards, disap-
pearing now and then only to reappear
a m later in an unexpected quar-
ter. Where the animal came from no
one seemed to know, and while 1t
cavorted through the streets and back
yards II furnished the quiet residen-
tial Section with more excitement than
1t had experienced in years.
August Deterle. inspector of the
Hudson County Society for the Proven
tion of Cruelty to Animals, who lives
at 567 Ocean avenue, saw the deer
from his bedroom window.
IT saw a fine stag" said he in de-
scribing it later. bounding over the
fences that separate four new houses
in Jackson avenue. These fences are
fully six feet high, and the deer cleared
each one at a single bound. A laborer
was at work in an excavation In one
of the yards. and he made a grab at
one of the hind legs of the animal. lie
caught the leg, but just then the deer
was in the act of clearing a fence, and
the laborer lost his grip. The deer
landed on a woodshed and then leaped
to the street and disappeared toward
the south"
When next heard from the deer vas
near New York Bay Cemetery, about
a mile from Grant avenue. Miss Char
lotte Weber, a teacher In the public
schools, saw it. The cemetery is en-
closed by a wire fence eight feet high
and as Miss Weber watched the stag
she saw 1T clear the fonce and then
cavort about among the tombstones.

AMERICAN INFLUENCE
is STRONG IN KOREA.
Missionary Says Natives Are Being
Rapidly Converted and Are Ad-
vancing Civilization.

PATERSON, Nov. 21.-In a lecture
at the Eastside Presbyterian Church
last night the Rev. H. M. Bruen, a
Korean missionary, stated that Amer
lea had much prestige in thai country,
and that Americas representatives
were looked up to by the natives with
much respect. This popularity has re-
suited in a big demand for goods man.
ufactured here, he said.
Mr.. Bruen stated that the number of
converts We're increasing rapidly and
the Koreans were eagerly adopting
modern methods and customs. They
seemed most anxious to embrace the
Christian religion, he said.
Physicians have been of great use
to the missionaries in gaining the con-
hdence of the people and causing them
to take up the teachings of Christ.
Even the lepers, of whom there are a
great many in Korea, flock to the dis
p~ensaries in the hope of being cured.
There are hundreds of Christian
churches and Sunday schools, while it
is estimated that there are in Korea
10000 natives who have embraced the
Christian faith. In the western cir
cult of the Taiku station, to which cir
cult Mr.. Bruen is attached, there were
at he beginning of this year 200 adj
herents. while thirteen new churches
were either built or purchased during
the preceding year.
Primary schools have grown and
four of the larger churches in the dis
trict have built, during the year, nice,
clean school houses, and there
is an order and discipline which
was lacking before. Physical cul-
ture is eagerly sought after by
the boys and those who have be-
come experienced in drilling are Invited
to the different schools to give train
ing.
Another evidence of the depth Of the
Christian movement in the country,
Mr.. Bruen said, is shown by the fact
that churches have been established
by the natives themselves in remote
sections where missionaries had never
penetrated. Throughout the country
a great moral wave is spreading, and
the people are abandoning many of the
VICE which prevailed generally before
the advent Of the missionaries. Corr
rupt officials are being turned out Of
office BY the people. n the moral tone
generally is much higher.

Milkman Thought She Was Kidnapped
Found in Bookcase.

PATERSON, Nov. H.-There were dis
tress and alarm in the borough Of Pros

Hoffman home. Marshal Struck volun-
teered to head a posse, and soon a dozen

Mamma she said, there is something
moving under the bookcase" Mrs. Hoff-
man raised the curtains drawn over the
bookcase, and found Georgette asleep on
the bottom shelf, where she had evidently
crawled from the crib.
