KENTUCKIANS IN DUEL

Fernalda, Ky, Nov. 1o.-Although
Kentucky has placed a ban on the flow
Of whisky in many hospitable home
steads. the cavalier chivalry which
gained fame for the dark and bloody"
ground still lives. This was proven
today by a deadly duel over the pass
ing Of the lie during an alteration
about an election bet AS result OF
the encounter William Hopkins was
killed and Frank Foley fatally wounded
HOPKINS is the son of the Rev Thomas
Hopkins.
Both of the young men are well
known in the town, and during recent
election they were on opposing sides.
The day before the election the two
met in the square in front OF the post
Office and put up a wager concerning
the result. The terms of the bet were
somewhat misty.
on the following day when the set
Element was to take place a wrangIe
occurred, which the lie and challenge
were passed.
Armed with dueling pistols the young
men met at dawn. Each of them was
an expert marksman and it was agreed
that the affair was to be ito the death
Just two shots were exchanged.

LABOR SHOWS FAITH.
Unions Want an Exchange
Medium to Take Place
of Cash.

Chicago, Nov. 11.-Organized labor of
Chicago continues to show firm con-
hdence in the ability of Chicago banks
to emerge safely from the present f.
nancial stringency. Although there
was no meeting of the Federation Of
Labor yesterday. officers of the CEN
trail body said the labor unions have
every confidence in the banks and that
all complaints which had been received
of inability to get cash at the banks
was rather a demand for a sound cir
culating medium of exchange than
cash itself.
The labor unions are perfectly will
ing to let the banks keep in their
vaults as much currency as they can
obtain, if a convenient medium of cir
culation can be put forth to take it's
place
Following the action of the carpen-
ters' union in asking for a special
meeting of the Federation of Labor to
be called tonight for the purpose of
canvassing the financial situation, E.
n. Nockels. secretary of the federation,
said the meeting would not be called,
as the situation did not warrant 1t.
He suggested. and the suggestion was
made in the form of an invitation, that
a delegate convention be held in the
federation headquarters this afternoon
at o'clock and that wherever possible
the local unions should send their dele
gates.
VIII Hold Delegate Convention.
The suggestion was adopted by a
number of the local unions. The dele
gate convention will canvass the sit
uation and prepare for action which
may be brought up and considered at
the regular meeting of the federation
next Sunday. 1t will be recommended
the Chicago Clearing House associa-
ton issue clearing house certificates
of small denominations, such as 81, 50,
and SIS, on the same basis of soundness
as the present certificates of larger
denominations are issued. Such a
medium would be of par value. and to
insure it's ready circulation, David r.
Forgan, president of the Chicago Asso-
citation of Commerce, probably will be
called upon to issue a circular letter
to all members of the association, ask
ing them to accept the small certifi-
Gates in lieu of cash.
It will be suggested also that en-
ployers who issue certificates in pay
ment Of wages so to places such as
the smaller retail stores, where their
workmen are in the habit Of cashing
their pay checks; explain the sound
ness Of the certificates to the proprie-
tors. and ask them to receive them as
usual with pay checks. Such sys-
tenn. labor leaders declare. would sat
fsfy the laboring men and put an end
to the fiotation OF so many checks and
notes whose makers and indorsers are
unknown. and hence the object of dis
trust or suspicion.

friends OF Mrs Henry Collins. a cousin
of Harry K. Thaw. The Pontefract
family besides the residence in Sc
wickley Heights, have a town house in
Allegheny.
John Cudahy jr has been away from
Chicago for some time. The family resi-
dence is at 1884 Michigan avenue Mr.
Cudahy is % years old and is working
in the Louisville Packing company's of
hce--a plant controlled by his father.
The engagement of Miss Pontefract
and Mr.. Cudahy was announced last
summer. The acquaintance began at
Mackinac island, where the Cudahys
have a summer home. The match was
understood to be love affair, one in
which money could not enter. as both
families are wealthy.
1t was understood that the wedding
was to be one of the early winter af-
fairs and society in Pittsburg had been
looking forward to it eagerly. Mr..
Cudahy has paid several visits TO the
Pontefract home during his courtship.
No Reasons Are known.
No reason has come to light for the
breaking of the engagement The first
intimation came from Miss Pontefract
in person. when a Pittsburg society
editor called her up to get the date of
the wedding. Miss Pontefract's reply
left no doubt in the mind of the editor
that the affair was off. and the official
confirmation of this came later.
There are many rumors as to the
cause of the trouble. There was no
member of the Cudahy family at home
last night to give any explanation. One
of the relatives of the family said that
nothing was known in Chicago con-
corning the announcement, and that it
was a great surprise.

KAISER'S TRIP DELAYED
Royal Party Forced to
Anchor on Way to
England.

London, Nov. 11.-Delayed by an adj
verse wind and heavy sea, the German
imperial yacht Hohenzollern, which is
bringing Emperor William, his CON
sort, and party to visit England, ran
into q fog bank off Sandown bay, Isle
of Wight. last evening. making it inn
possible to enter the bay, as had been
planned
After waiting for some time for the
fog to lift, the Hohenzollern and the
cruisers escorting the royal craft an
chored for the night. The voyage was
resumed early in the morning.
1t became known when the emperor
left Germany that his confidence in
British police is such that he is trav-
cling, for the first time, without his
usual bodyguard of detectives.
An extraordinary incident has come
to light in connection with the visit of
the German emperor. 1t is related that
at the conclusion of the recent man
euvers the channel fleet and the first
cruiser squadron were ordered by the
admiralty to repaint, etc, in honor of
the German emperor.

land toward the German ruler, how
ever is different from that assumed
by the cruiser squadron commander,
and the kaiser will be given the warm
est of welcomes when he lands on
British soil tomorrow.
Ever since the emperor's visit was
announced the popular mind here has
been undergoing preparation for it,
The average newspaper reading Brit
Usher has been justified to a certain
extent in thinking that the kaiser is
about to follow the precedent created
by another emperor. Henry ", who
went to Canossa in 1917 and ate hum
BILE pie in order to make peace with
Pope Gregory VII
OF course this idea has not been
phrased bluntly nor extensively, due
regard being paid to courtesies by all
London papers, with one solitary ex-
ception. But there has all along and
everywhere been apparent in news
paper comment on the kaiser's visit
the suggestion that his majesty has
undertaken to swallow a pill that can
not help being bitter and hard to get
down.
sec ANatScT now ~
HAS Emperor William been forced
to accept the inevitable?" has been the
undertone of all the press comment,
Inevitable" in this instance, being the
substance and meaning of the Anglo
French entente cordiale.
| 1t was the Paris Temps which first
emphasized this view of the kaiser s
visit, and the manner in which the
remarks of the Temps has been quoted
in the English press has shown how
pleasing this idea has been to the ma
tional pride of this country.
The Temps spoke of the Anglo
French understanding in extremely
noteworthy and impressive terms.
The entente cordiale," it remarked
which would be a formidable instru-
ment in time of war, has only in view
the maintenance of peace. This i'm
plies that those who form part of 1t
rejoice at everything that has tend
ency to pacify the international at
mosphere."
No suggestion that the entente is in
the nature of a military alliance was
ever before made in quarter so au-
thoritative and well informed, and the
Temps remark has attracted wide at
tention.
