UN|ON|STS WILL
THINK FOR SELVES
Richmond Tradesmen Will Not
Allow Samuel Gompers
To Dictate.
HE HAS BEEN CONDEMNED.
CONSIDERED THAT
LABOR UNIONS AND POLITICS
SHOULD BE WIDELY SEPARAT-
ED-LocAL OPINIONS.

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, is
hearing many discordant notes within
his organization, caused by his appeal
to the labor unions to vote and help
support the democratic ticket. The
heads of the Richmond unions are all
of the opinion that the members of the
labor unions will vote according to
their own individual judgment. and
that politics should not be mixed in
with the work of the union.
They feel that President Gompers
has a right to appeal to the union,
but that he went in a roundabout way
to do it. He appealed through the Or
eanization's paper, of which he is
editor, and in this way brought the
paper in the political limelight.
Louis Studt, president of the Cigar
Makers union of this city: ''I have
received no word of any character
from Gompers, and | don think l
will. The men belonging to the union
here are nearly all Taft men and will
not listen to Bryan supporters, They
will vote according to their own po-
litical views. If Gompers should
make any appeal it would be through
the national union of cigar makers
which would in turn make the appeal
to the Richmond union. | don't think
it would do him any good though
When asked how he would vote if an
appeal would be made. Mr.. Studt stat
ed that he would vote according to his
own political views.
Mr. G.. W. Gem. who is at the head
of the Typographical union, said con
cerning the matter: 'It seems to me
that since the miners failed to ac-
cept the appeal that Gompers recently
made that this is a sign that none OF
the other unions will take any act
ion in regard to the matter"
The members of the Brotherhood OF
have not received any instructions in
regard to voting. but in all probability
they will fight for William H. Taft
They all say he is the man to head the
nation. Several of the members OF
| the organization even went so far as
| to say Gompers would be ousted il
| he made any direct appeal to union
| lists to support the democratic ticket
Mr.. Meagan, who was head of the
union up to the present year stated
"An appeal may be made, but each
member of the union can vote &C.
cording to his own political views"
The Brotherhood or Locomotive En-
| gineers will take the same steps il
regard to the presidential campaign as
the conductors, although there has
| been nothing definitely decided upon
One of the members stated that witt
few exceptions the local union will
go almost entirely solid for Taft
| A member of the Brotherhood o.
Locomotive Engineers said: 1T is al
mistake about the union compelling
the members to vote for certain
party. but they do advise, but the
voting according to their own politi
cal judgment.'

Tries to Suicide.
NOTES TOLD WHAT
SHE WANTED DONE.
Sent These to Friends Who,
On Receiving Them, Rushed

Render Aid.

With a six-months-old babe nursing

life. Neighbor women found the un-
fortunate young woman shortly after
she had taken the acid and DIR. Roy
Morrow was at once summoned. He
roic measures were taken to save
Mrs. Hofheinz's life. Last evening il
was reported that she was in semi
conscious condition and that hopes
for her recoIery We're entertained.
What appears To be the cause of
the woman's rash act was the charge
made by her father, David Wasson.
Friday evening that she had stolen 81
from her neice, the daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. Joe Cricks. The child lost
this amount at the Hofheinz home
and accused her aunt of stealing It
Mr.. Wasson believed the child's story
and when he accused Mrs. Hofheinz
of the theft she vigorously denied 1t.
Hot words then followed Yesterday
morning Mrs. Hofheinz brooded over
her fathers action until at length she
decided to end her life.
Before taking the carbolic acid she
wrote two notes, in each of which
she asked that her three young chill
dren, the oldest only three years. be
taken care of. In conclusion she stat
ed that she intended to take carbolic
acid and kill herself. These notes she
gave to her eldest child and told him
to take them to Mrs. William Sharp
and Mrs. Thornton.
AS soon as these two women re-
ceived these notes they hurried to
the Hofheinz home and found Mrs.
Hofheinz writhing on her bed. Medi-
cal aid was quickly summoned and
when DIR. Morrow arrived he found
the house filled with big crowd of
wildly excited women. When Mr..
Hofheinz. who is employed at the
Jones Hardware company, arrived
home and found what condition his
wife was In he also became very hys-
terical.

The news columns have told of the
arrest in South America of w. F.
Walker for stealing from a bank and
church in Connecticut, his return to
that state and his prompt sentence to
an indeterminate sentence, which may
run twenty years. The object of the
chase was not so much to punish the
thief as to afford an object lesson to
other bank employees; and there is no
doubt that the thought of Walker,
once highly respected, now condemn
ed to pass probably the last years of
his life in prison, is enough to fright
en- any bank cashier tempted to take
the banks money for his own use.
Like many another offender-some of
whom have escaped exposure and
prosecution-Walk took the money
of the bank to use in making more
money. 1t is reported that he was
victimized in "wire-tapping game,
but he says the money went into le-
gitimate business proposition and was
lost. T. F. Egan, superintendent of
the state police of Connecticut, is the
man who brought Walker home; but
the chase up to the time of his ar
rest was in the hands of the Pinker-
tons.

Full HE PRESENTED FARMER
WITH BUGGY AND RODE OFF
ASTRIDE THE HORSE.

An accident to the buggy he was
detached from the axle, caused the
thief who on Friday stole the horse
and buggy from Abe Anderson, the
liveryman, to abandon the buggy
near Liberty yesterday afternoon.
Anderson went to Liberty fast even
buggy.
After the accident thethief went to
the home of a farmer and tried to
sell the buggy, saying it was of no
use to him any longer. The farmer re-
fused to buy, so the thief made him a
present of the stolen property. He
mounted the horse and continued on
his way, but stopped short time after
to remove the harness. The reins were
cut so as to be out of the way. The
horse was led and ridden to where
the road crossed the tracks of the c.
H. & ID. railroad and the thief aban-
doned the animal and boarded a south
bound freight train.
One of the persons to whom Supt.
Bailey telephoned yesterday recog-
nized the stolen property and came to
this city for the purpose of informing
the police. The description he gave
Tailed so closely with that of Ander-
sons outfit that there was believed to
be no probability of mistke. Supt.
Bailey notified the authorities atCin-
cinnati to be on the lookout for the
thief and furnished them with a des-
cription.

Companies May Be Formed in
Sunday Schools of
The City.
SEES GOOD IN THE MOVE.
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT HUM
Pc THINKS BOTH BOYS AND
SCHOOLS WOULD PROFIT BY
THE VENTURE.

1t is probable that the Sunday
school officials of the city will father
a movement to organize cadet regi-
ment composed of the boys attending
the various Sunday schools of the city
At the st. Paul's Episcopal church a
cadet company has been organized
and the youngsters have been equip
ped with regulation army service uni
forms and small guns. They are be-
ing trained in military tactics by Cap
tain Paul Comstock and the young
soldiers take the keenest interest in
their company. Officials of the Sun
day school state that the organization
of this company has also had the eff
feet of making the boys take a keener
interest in their Sunday school work.
A movement is now on foot to Or
ganiZe similar company at the First
Presbyterian church and the officers
of the other Sunday schools are
watching the movement closely with
an idea of adopting it as method of
inducing the boys to take a greater
interest in their Sunday school work
1t is also argued that the training the
lads receive is of the greatest benefit
to them
County Sunday School Superinten-
dent E. j. Humpe would like to see a
regiment of Sunday school cadet COM
panies. He states that he thinks the
idea is an excellent one
He states that he thinks such a
movement would be very popular with
the boys and would be of the utmost
benefit not only to them but to the
various chools.
There are several young men in
this city who are graduates of mill,
tary academies who could be placed in
command of the various companies
and who could act field officers OF
the regiment. These young men
would be glad to train the lads in
military tactics.
1t has been pointed out to Superin.
tendent Humpe that if twelve local
churches would each organize a cadet
company it would be possible to have
complete regiment of three battal
ions. each consisting of four compa
MES. This movement will probably
be vigorously agitated before the close
| of the summer.
