DOES NOT APPEAR STRONG
Opposition to Gonpers as President OF
Federation.

Denver, Nov. 10.-Though there Is
much talk of plans afoot to GUST Sam
uel Gompers from the presidency OF
the American Federation OF Labor
during the sessions of the twenty
eighth annual convention, which have
begun here, it is principally gossip
outside the federation itself. Rumors
of growing dissatisfaction with the so
called Gompers plan during the recent
nationa, campaign are being given
free publicity, but leaders in the fed
Grafton who should know the status
Of things declare their ignorance OF
any organized opposition to Mr. Com
pers. MIR. Gompers himself waves the
subject aside by saying that the fed
Grafton will select the man best
equipped to lead it to further sue
cesses and declares that should he be
retired he will still remain a worker
In the ranks. He admits there Is OPP
position, but asserts that it is con-
fined to matters of policy affecting To-
calfties only. A strong card In Mr..
Gompers' favor now Is the fact that
several of his bitter opponents OF So
cialistic tendencies have failed or
election as delegates to represent
their own unions at the present meet
| ing.
The popularity of President Com
pers was attested when he rose to
call the convention to order. The
delegates applauded Mr.. Gompers for
several minutes before he was able to
make himself heard. .
In his address in respone to the ad-
| dresses of welcome Mr.. Gompers was
| frequently applauded as he told OF the
progress now being made by the labor
movement and the delegates were es-
pecially enthusiastic when Mr.. Com
pers declared that the efforts OF the
federation were not only for the ben
eft of union labor, but for unorgan
lied labor @and for all humanity as

guns to clear the roof of the forward
turret.
Abaft the break of the forecastle
deck and also situated on the axis OF
the ship are two more twelve-inch gun
turrets, the guns of the forward tur
ret in this pair firing over the roof OF
the after turret. Abaft and near the
stern is the fifth and last of the big
turrets. Naval men declare that no
navy in the world possesses a ship OF
the Dreadnought type in which the
guns are better arranged.
For repelling torpedo attack the
North Dakota will carry secondary
battery of fourteen five-inch guns.
These guns are all mounted broadside.
The vessel will be driven by turbines
and is expected to attain maximum
speed in excess of II knots an hour.

Confident Germany VIII Yield.

Paris, Nov. 10.-No new word has
come from Berlin with reference to
the German governments attitude in
the Casa Blanca affair and further
delay is considered likely, owing to
some confusion which prevails among
the German officials and the necessity
of maneuvering before the reichstag
But French opinion remains serenely
confident that Germany eventually
will yield on the point upon which
France insists, that both countries ex
press regret for the incident"

CLAIM TO Be
LOSING MONEY
Missouri Railroads Object
to Reduced Rates.
CASE In FEDERAL COURT

Begin the Presentation of Evidence at
Kansas City in an Endeavor to
Prove Their Contention That They
Are Unable to Operate at Profit
Under the Laws Enacted by the
Last Legislature.
Kansas City, Nov. 10.-Representa-
tives of eighteen leading railroads OPP
Grating in Missouri appeared before
Federal Judge Smith Mcpherson here
and began the presentation of evi
dence in an endeavor to prove their
contention that the railroads are un.
able to operate with profit under the
2-cent passenger rate and the maxi
mum freight laws passed by the last
legislature. The state of Missouri is
the defendant and it was represented
by Herbert s. Hadley, the attorney
general and the newly elected gov.
ernor of the state.
The 2-cent and the maximum freight
laws have been in effect for some time
past, the railroad companies having
previously agreed not to contest the
| laws until it could be shown by their
actual operation whether Or not they
| were detrimental to these properties
as claimed Each of the eighteen rail
| roads will present individual petitions
| showing the effect the laws have hao
| upon the financial conditions of the
| particular roads. Each railroad vii
show it's earnings from the date the
laws were put into effect and in al
cases it will be declared, 1t is stated
that none of the roads has been able
to operate with profit.
The state will produce figures Il
disprove this claim and it will attemp
to show that the railroads have made
money under the new statutes. The
statistics have been gathered afte
months of careful work and the pre-
sentation of the evidence, according t
Mr.. Hadley, will consume two months
time. The arguments will not be be
gun until the end of that period ha
been reached.
In opening court Judge McPherso
announced that he would consider n
further moves for delay. "This heal
ing" said the court, Twill be final, 81
that the cases may be appealed to tn
United States supreme court If neces
sary. If there is an adjournment
will be on my own motion and only
it is absolutely necessary"

Find Of Coal Near Lamar.

What appears like very promis-
ing find of coal was reported on Sat
urday afternoon from Limestone
creek. about twenty miles northwest
of Lamar in Bent county. Pros
pectors who had been exploring a
bank there for some time came on a
three-foot vein of coal after drift
ing about thirty feet into the hill.
The coal was apparently of fair
quality and burned we'll after being
dried ont. About the same time
drillers engaged in sinking a deep
well in the same vicinity reported
that their drill had passed through
vein of coal apparently about eleven
feet thick. This find was made at
depth of about $50 feet. Lamar

Lamar Napoleon OF Finance.

NJ. Simon, the erslwhile proprietor
of the Golden Rule store on North
Main street. has faded from sight.
vamosed, absquatulated, non ested.
He departed on the eve of the glad
new year. when a number OF bills
became due, and the numerous in
quiries made for him show that a
large circle of people had an interest
in his movements. II was supposed
that he had gone to Colorado Springs
to make arrangements for the con-
soiidation of hisstore with the other
Golden Rules of the state, but as the
days passed and the dapper mer-
ch3a failed to show up suspicion
araseSin the minds of his creditors
that they would see him no more.
Simon was Napoleon of finance.
Starting in without visible assets, he
built the two-story building in which
his store was located, and also leased
the adjoining building at a good
rental. In addition he built a couple
of dwellings in Cottage place ad
dition. The buildings are mort
gagged to their full value. however,
and even if they We're available it is
not likely that anything would be
left for other creditors after the
claims of the mortgage holders were
satisfied. Lamar Sparks.

cording to Hendricks story, he and
Hunt were passing Lower;'s house
when the latter rushed out and in
formed them that they had better
leave, and Hendricks says that be-

Lowery shot and wounded Hunt,

thought that he only wounded
Lowery. but on the arrival of the
