GOAPERS GAINS FRIENDS
Returning Delegate From Denver
Convention Tells About Work
of Great Labor Gathering.

Howard o. Smith, secretary of the Mon
tana State Federation of Labor, stopped
over in the city yesterday on his return
from the recent convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor at Denver to
visit with friends, and leaves this morn
ing for his home in Helena. Mont.
THE convention of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor was a great success in
every particular, said Mr. Smith to a
the most important in point of work done
Of any convention that has been held in
years by the representa- tives of labor.
The convention went clearly and I'M
mistakably on record I'm favor of the po-
litical policy Of the executive council. and
the demonstration paid TO Samuel Com
pers when he was nominated for re-elec-
ton was something unequaled in any con-
vention of laboring people, showing con-
clusiVely that the delegates We're a unit
in their appreciation of the work OF the
grand old man. and his election was made
unanimous amidst the greatest enthusi-
asm.
THAT the delegates fully realized the
necessity of the further solidifying OF the
forces of organized labor was demon
stTated by the granting of Z charter of
affiliation 10 the Operative Plasterers'
union. and the settlement OF jUrisdictional
disputes between other trades which have
been before many conventions of the
American Federation Of Labor The most
important of these was the signing Of an
agreement between the warning factions
of the International Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers. which prevents what
many considered an inevitable split in that
organization. This agreement was signed
by both President McNulty and President
Reid. representing both factions, and in
sureS peace and harmony IN the ranks OF
the electrical workers.

We're due TO arrive in Salt Lake Sat
urday afternoon. and although he was
advised by the local authorities to wait
and get them, Sheriff Hughes left Sat
urday morning, confident in the assuf-
dnce given by Fitzgerald that he want
ed to get hack to Texas as soon as pos
sible so as to get his difficulties
Strengthened out and his good name
cleared. Now the sheriff is without any
papers whatever, except the souvenir in
the shape of F'itzgerald's waiver of his
rights in Utah.
Although showing a sympathetic feel
ing for Sheriff Hughes in his discom-
fture. the news of FitZgerald's escape
has caused many a chuckle among the
local officers. Before Sheriff Hughes
left here ii was the general opinion that
he was Understanding the cleverness
of Fitzgerald, and more than one were
willing to put up good money that the
sheriff would never get his prisoner over
the Texas border, unless he changed his
opinion of the man he had 10 deal with.
On the night before they left Detective
Schultze, who had had considerable to
do with the case here, said to Herald
reporter:
You mark what tell you. Fitzger-
aid viii get away from that sheriff"
What makes you think sop
OMll dCllOllS- 1LcL
what he is planning now. Don't ever
think that when he said he wants to go
back to Texas he meant it, He simply
figures that by getting on the good side
of the sheriff he won't be watched very
closely, and he will make his getaway
at the first chance"
Among those who knew Fitzgerald
during his brief career in Salt Lake for
the clever rogue ne is, his latest trick
in outwitting the sheriff has caused lit
tie surprise. although it furnished a
common topic during the day. 1t is not
generally believed-that he obtained the
aid said to have been given by lodge
members, but that ne saw chance to
elude the officers and grasped it, des-
perate as il was.
Fitzgerald was wanted in Amarillo
and Waco, Tex, for forgery, it being
alleged that he had secured upwards of
$500 on worthless checks. Fleeing from
Texas, he came to Salt Lake, where for
a time he worked as a solicitor on a
morning paper. 1t was but a short
time, however, until bad checks bear
ing his signature began to appear here
and there, and those whom he tried 10
make friends with began to look
askance at him. Then came the big
surprise when, one night as he was
standing at the Kenyon bar, he was
placed under arrest under Geographic
information from Texas.
After his arrest it was learned that
he had been betrayed to the Texas au-
thorities by a woman. Bede Miller or
Fort Worth. She had written to the
officers saying that they could find
Feeney working under the name of w
H. Fitzgerald for a publishing house in
Salt Lake.

BULLDOG STILL IN JEOPARDY
Meyer Family Admits Ownership and
Fails to Refute Charges of
Vicious Conduct.

Whether or not George Meyer is the
gunner of the white bull dog, which, il
Is alleged bv j. W. Hooper and others
is vicious and whether or not the dog is
I1icious are questions upon which Judge
DiehI has reserved his decision until Fri
day next
The defense in the case, in which Meyer
is charged with keeping vicious dog,
nresented its side yesterday, Mr.. and Mrs
Mover and A. Meyer going on the stand
TO testify that the dog is not of a vicious
nature. Patrolman Harris was also called
on behalf of the defense The testimony
of Mrs Hooper that she had been bitten
once by the dog and that it had at
tempted TO bite her again last week, was
not refuted however, nor was that of
William Young and Clyde Parsons. who
had also testified TO having been attacked
bv the dog While saying that these in
stances had never been reported TO her
directly, Mrs. Meyer admitted that her
landladv had told her of them.
Mr. Mover defendant in the case, also
testified that ne is not the owner of the
dog but that it belongs to Mrs. Meyer.
Az The conclusion of the argument Judge
DiehT announced that he would render
his decision Friday

trouble as a neighborhood row. Mrs.

FINAL WORD AND Warning
REGARDING COMPETITION
Some information Which Candidates May Find
Highly Beneficial on This, the Last
Day Of the Contest.
Do Your BeSt-Have Deaf Ear for Rumors-Use Every Min
ute but Have Your Votes in Before Midnight.

The best piece of advice that candi-
dates can be given at this point is-Do
your besti Prize after prize may be
going 10 some one just ahead Of you.
Work up to the last minute for the
votes you deposit tonight may make you
a winner.
Participants who were low in the list
when the last standing was published
should not be discourse ed by what lead
ers may say they are doing or have
done. Speech is free in this country
if a leader can bluff the other fellow
from getting in and working energetic
ally 1t is the leaders gain. It's politics,
this scheme Of knocking the legs from
under opposition by words. No one
would expect the man ahead to say he
was having a miserable time of il, thus
encouraging some one else TO get in and
dig.
And leaders want to look out for the
man or woman, low in the list, who pre-
tends he or she has given up the fight
and is doing nothing. These reports
crop out to make the leaders feel safe.
Sometimes the man ahead is deceived,
he stops TO take a breathing spell, ana
zing-foXy low one jumps in an easy
winner. The tortoise passed the hare
because the hare imagined he was so
far ahead that it would be all right for
MIN to take a nap ana rest.
The brilliant runner often lags to
show how easy il is to win, and every
now and then the slower but steadier
man goes by and comes home a winner.
In short, pay no attention to reports,
nor rumors; just keep a-pegging until
the last minute. Do your best
In conclusion, the following facts are
again offered as a last word and warn
ing:
Have your votes reach The Herald
Ballot Box before midnight tonight.
Have all checks for more than $50
certified.
Use every minute possible in vote
getting. You may win a prize worth
hundreds of dollars by those few
last moments work.
Final results and announcements
will be published Friday if at all
possible.
Do your best! Lead and win at the
finish, or all your previous work may
avail but little.

As this is the last day of The Herald
contest, so far as voting is concerned,
This is To be much in the nature Of a

beginning, then, it must be explained
for the last time that this contest closes

one vote or a million votes put into the
ballot box a minute after will have been
lost.
Everything has been whipped into
shape for this grand wind-up. Three
well known business men of the city
have been appointed as judges and will
odiciate. They have been appointed TO
represent the candidates, and both The
Herald and candidates are congratulate
ing themselves that such men as an
nounced in these columns yesterday
have so kindly consented 10 take time

is not. for there are several hours be-
tween now and midnight, and wide
awake candidates Will not leave one
precious minute go by without having
used it to good advantage.
But whatever is done must be done
without delay-every vote must reach
the ballot box before 12 o'clock tonight.
This is something which must be under
stood by each and every candidate, II
is repeated 50 there can be no misun-
derstanding The Herald would not
like To see any candidate lose votes be-
cause Of misunderstanding. Its few
rules i'm this contest have been simple
and there has been harmony through
out the competition; the finish will be
the same.
Another thing demanding attention
from all candidates has to do with
checks. A candidate depOsiting a check
amounting to more than $50 is remind
ed that such check should be certified.
Attend to this early and thereby take
no chances; valuable prizes are going

FITZGERALD LEAPS
THROUGH WINDOW OF
CIR IND VANISHES
Polished Youth Proves Too Slippery for Sheriff Hughes Who
Is Now in Pueblo Sans Prisoner, Sans War
rant and Sans Reputation

Leaning through the window of the
dining car while the train was bowling
along at the rate of thirty miles an
hour, w II. Fitzgerald, alias Feeney,
who rectnly figured as Salt Lakes latest
seven-day wonder. on Sunday made his
escape from Sheriff j. Z. Hughes, who
was returning him to Texas as a pris-
oner.
The escape was made about four miles
south of Pueblo, and for sheer nerve
and audacity in risking a life for free
doom has rarely been equaled. A Der
yer account Of it says:
Just after leaving Pueblo Fitzgerald
and the sheriff had taken their seat at a
dining table. The officer discovered
that he had left his grip in another car.
and as the train was moving at a high
rate of speed, he thought Fitzgerald
would be safe and left him alone for a
few minutes. Those few minutes was
the one chance that Fitzgerald had been
looking for. however, and no sooner had
the officer left the car than Fitzgerald
opened the window and plunged
through. head first.
Associated Press Version.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Pueblo differs from this account as il
indicates that the escape was made at a
small station where the train stopped.
and that Fitzgerald received aid from
four men. This dispatch, under date OF
the Gath, says:
A report is in circulation today that
W. H Fitzgerald. who was arrested al
Salt Lake on a forgery charge, and who
escaped from Sheriff Hughes of Anna
rillo. Tex, Sunday. by leaping out of a
dining car window, was aided by four
Pueblo men who were fellow lodge
members
According to the story, two of the
men were on the train and two others
We're outside at a stop where Fitzgerald
was to make his jump. 1t is said a
handcar was secured and Fitzgerald
was brought to Pueblo. given a change
of clothes and left for Denver. His
destination is supposed to have been
Chicago.
In a letter received yesterday by
Chief of Police Tom Pitt from Chief of
Police McCafferty of Pueblo, the latter
tells of the daring escape made by Fitz-
gerald, without giving any details, how
ever. According to the letter, the much
chagrined Sheriff Hughes is securing
the country in the vicinity of Pueblo,
and has offered a reward of 800 for the
apprehension of his erstwhile willing
prisoner.
Sheriff's Dilemma.
Should he be fortunate enough, how
ever, to recover Fitzgerald he will find
himself confronting the same situation
that faced him here. When Fitzgerald
voluntarily abandoned his attempt 10
prevent his return to Texas by securing
release on a writ of habeas corpus and
waived his rights of extradition, Sheriff
Hughes left with him before the arrival
of either his warrant or papers. These
