MIR. GOMPERS CROWS DEFIANT Won't Pay Fine If
 Found Guilty. WOULD SERVE JAIL SENTENCE Would Not Allow Federation to Pay
 It, Either. mr. Gompers Aiso Takes ocessiep te Say He is Not Democrat
 snd Probably Never
 wml Be.

Denver, Cola Nov. ie.-President Samuel Gompers. at the afternoon ses- sion today of the convention of the American Federation of Labor. declared that if he were found guilty and uned in the contempt proceedings against him at Washington. he would Ko to jail before he would pay his fine or before he would allow the Federation to pay any fine for him.
 This statement was made by MT. Gompers during the discussion of the report of the committee on treasurer report The committee recommended that immediately following the ad- sournfng of the convention, the Execu- tive Committee shall take up the prop ositlon of placing It's funds where they may be removed from danger Of at tachment. The report brought out a political discussion in which several members declared themselves In favor of the formation of an independent pc Iitieal party. Mir. Gompers warned the delegates that if a way were found to hide the funds, the court would there after appoint receiver, not necessa- : raly to secure in some way the hidden funds, but to get the money being con- trIbuted.
 "As to the case against me in the District of Columbia said Mir. Comp CTS. T will never consent that the American Federation of Labor shall ever pay one cent of line for me. don't want to gpsto jail but will not submit to the Federation being muIcted for me-"
 Max Hayes. of Cleveland, suggested the. formation of a labor party. He criticized that portion of the Demo- cratic platform which says we yield to none in our respect to the courts" Mir. Hayes declared he had no respect for the courts.
 Mir. Gompers again took the floor in reply to Mir. Hayes He said the posi- ton taken by Mir. Hayes was illogical and declared that the decisions of the Supreme Court had but one ob3ect-- to tie the men of laber to their work. to, cripple the men of. labor in their rlglit to work lsv their rtght not 10 work.
 sT am not in touch with tho Denao- cratic party he said. T am not a Democrst and am confident I never will be q Democrat! owe allegiance to no party. am a trade unionist. May the trade sunionists always be tight, but whether right or wrong. am with the trade unfonists.
 'No man has denounced the Demo cratic party more than I. But when the Democratic party made our con tentiens It's own, 1t would not only have been Ingratitude. but coWardica to desert them. If Bryan had been elected with the hosts of organized labor back of him. it would have given spirit to human freedom"

New NationaE.Rohln Hood

A gala week for the popular Aborn
Opera Company was inaugurated last
night with the opening performance Of
Robin Hood with an excellent cast,
which contained at least four members
Of the famous. but now disbanded. BOs-
tonians. Nothing equaling the spirit and
eclat which characterized the opening last
night has been seen during any engage
ment Of the Aborn company, and it SEEM
ed to all the ld-timers present as though
a page of pleasant memories had been
Ireopened and its bygone delights once
more spread before them.
Of course, the recoIlections Of the Bos-
tonians can never be untInged with sadness
and regret for familiar faces gone and
voices hughed forever, but the handful
that remained and who. fortunately for
Washington. were available for the pres
ent production. seemed 50 pleased to be
back again singing and acting their old
roles that the humorous. haIf-regret-
full little speech that Eugene CowIes made
before the curtain struck a sympathetic
chord in the hearts Of every one present.
Robin Hood has been so long the
standard by which the native comic
opera has been judged. and as it IS
doubtless the most popular work of its
kind ever placed upon our stage. that
any other than a dlgnified and high.
class presentation would bring down
storm of protest from the loyal public
which holds the opera in affeetionate re-
gard. A poor and even merely adequate
production of Robin Hood would be sacrt-
legious, and, realizing this, the Aborn
company has put It on in splendid styie
with their usual good judgment in the
matter Of costuming and stage manage
ment. The company is noted for the
smoothness of its first nights, last
night being no exception, and but for
the unfortunate mishap to Friar Tuck's
soup kettle ali went we'll That worthy
churchman. in giving too vigorous a stir

eoeuon-the audience being well aware
OF the nature of two OF its ingredients

too often not TO be FesourcefuI enough to
