KILLED ON STREET CAR.
young Woman is Shot by Young Man
 and, Soon Dies.

New York, February 1o-A young woman of the tenderloin, known to her companions only IS Queenie, about 27 years old and decidedly pretty was shot and almost instantly killed while riding on northbound Second avenue car at Eighth street early today.
 young man who was sitting oppo- site the girl in the car fired the shot the police say, and then dashing from the car made his escape. So far the only clue the police have is that the murderer had little gray overcoat. Two girls who said they were Mabel Cousins of Lindhurst, N J., and Helen Sullivan of this city, and the motorman and conductor of the car have been de- tained as witnesses. Queenie and the two other girls accompanied by two young men boarded the car at Brooklyn bridge. All appeared to be in a merry mood and laughed and chatted in d boisterous way.
 While the man who did the shooting was engaged in what appeared to be a good natured struggle with Queenie the other young man abstracted his watch and scarf pin and placed them ill Miss Cousins pocket. The man in the gray oyercoat drew a revolver which he had partly concealed by his handkerchief and shot Queenie in the breast. The two men then fled.

GOMPERS SPEAKS
 HIS MIND FREELY
LABOR LEADER TAKES HARRI- MAN TO TASK ON LABOR CUES TON AND SAYS LABOR WILL NOT STAND OPPRESSION.

Washington, February 1O.-Seventy-five delegates met here today to inaugurate a movement for the organization of a de- pertinent of buildings trades of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, in accordance with resolution adopted at the last annual convention of the Federation. President Gompers said to the delegates in an address:
 Yesterday there appeared in two news papers an interview with J. P. Morgan, the greatest hnancier of our country.
 'One of the papers sent me a telegram asking for an answer to MT. Morgan's statement. I shall read the telegram and say a word in regard to it. The telegram reads:
 Tn an interview published today J. P. Morgan declares labor must learn that it cannot control industry. He declares federations will be powerless to prevent wage reduction because work is partly stopped Working men cannot strike, be- cause they have got no jobs now. There are no stocks on hand, you know, says Morgan, and we do not want to make up work now So what can they do. They will have 10 submit or they will strave. The question is to be settled. They are to learn that they cannot con- trol industry. We want wage rates that will make honest profit possible. This morning I saw published MT. Morgan's reputation of that interview. MT. Nor gan says he did not give utterances to that statement believe him.
 But it is the thought itself to which I want to call attention-that notwith- standing MT Morgan may not have said what is attributed to him, I know that thought is in the minds of a large num- Der of employers for a considerable time. In the newspapers is a statement that one out of every three men in New York city is idle. Idle for what? The material is there, the machinery is there, the brain is there, the brawn is there and the hands and the intelligence are tllere and needs of the people are there, and yet men are idle and children in the schools cry for food. It is for any one to think, much less give expression to the idea, that the working people must submit further or starve.
 ''The American workingmen have come to the conclusion that the conditions that obtain in other countries, where there are large armies of the unemployed will not obtain in the United States. It will not be tolerated. If we permit it. it will be our own fault and we will have failed in our duty.'

 The indictments were not made pub lie, but in asking that a good sized bail bond be required, District Attor- ney Jerome stated to the court that two charges of grand larceny were laid against "a man now on his way over here" from Europe. The man referred 1o by MT. Jerome was Charles ". Morse who sailed for Liverpool week ago Saturday on the Campania, but is now returning upon the advice of his counsel
 MT. Morse is on the Cunarder Etruria, due here late next Saturday. The grand jury, it is learned, has or sered other indictments in connection with it's investigations into banking af- fairs.
