SUIT AGAINST UNION
 MATTERS OF CONNECTICUT.
The Walking Delegate Brought Into
 the LimeIight,

Hartford, Nov 16.-The part played by the west and southwest in enforc- ing the alleged boycotts of the Unit ed Matters against the firms that fail ed to comply with the union labor re- qulrements. were featured in today's trial of the $240,000 suit brought bv D. E. Loewe and others against 24O union matters of this state. The walk ing delegate was brought into the limelight by the reading of reports sent by them from time to time, print ed in the Hatters' Journal. In the course of the presentation of these ex- tracts 9 line was obtained for the first time on the probable course of the defense. While Attorney Daven- port was reading advertisements in the official publication of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, in which the names of non-union firms were given. one of the attorneys for the defend- ants intimated that the union label crusade was merely for the purpose of detecting commercials rather than for the object of enforcing boycotts.
 The court and jury were greatly amused during the reading of re- port of a walking delegate in the southwest, who had instituted suit against a firm there which he claimed was substituting labels in hats. He described the jurors as lot of farm CTS, and said he knew he was "up against it the moment he looked them over" The humor of this allusion was emphasized by the fact that the jurors in the present suit are practi- cally all from country towns, many of them being farmers. The trial will continue throughout the week and then an adjournment will be taken over Thanksgiving.

FUTILE STILL PRESIDENT
 OF THE BOSTON & MAINE
Reelection Created Some Surprise in
 New Haven Railroad Circles.

Boston. Nov. 16.-Lucius Futile was reelected president of the Boston & Maine railroad at the meeting of the directors here today. Charles S. Mel- len. president of the New York New Haven & Hartford railroad. J. P. Nor gan of New York. and William Skin ner of Holyoke were elected directors to ilt vacancies caused by resigna- tions.
 An executive committee of eight was appointed. consisting of Presi- dent Futile. Charles S. Mellen. r. C. Dumaine of Concord. Mass. Samuel Hemenway of New Haven, J. P. Nor gan of New York and Richard Olney, William Skinner and Alexander Coch- rane of Boston.
 The resignations came from Charles F. Linsley of Meriden, Edgar J. Rich of Winchester. Mass. and Earl J. Ryder of Arlington. Mass. Mir. Ryder was subsequently, elected clerk of the board, his old position, and Herbert F. Fisher was. reelected treasurer.
 New Haven Nov. 16.-Up to today it had been assumed in railroad cir cles here that President Mellen of the New York. New Haven & Hartford Railroad Co would succeed Pres dent Futile as president of the Boston & Maine. and the announcement of the election of the latter creates some sur prise. The modification of previous plans is partly accounted for by the fact that President Futile will be able to take considerable number of the functional duties of the office. while President Mellen will necessarily di- rect the Boston & Maine policy. As reorganized the Boston & Maine board now consists of twelve directors resi- dent in Massachusetts, three resident in Maine, one in New Hampshire. two in Connecticut, and one in New York, but of the nineteen a clear majority are known to be affiliated with the New Haven corporation. as well as d majority of the executive committee. The entrance of J. Pierpont Morgan of New York into the board is con- nected with future plans of somewhat extensive financing bearing upon the large improvements required upon tha Boston & Maine system.

HEAVY DEsERTIoNS FROM
 THE UNITED STATES ARMY
4,e93 Desertions in Last Fiscal Year -Adjutant Generals Annual Report.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Continued ex- tensive assertions in the United States army during the last fiscal year forms the leading feature of the annual re- port of Adjutant General Ainswo-th. After showing that 1893 men deserted from the enlisted force of the regular army, General Ainsworth concludes that only strict enforcement of se- were penalties will diminish materially the taking French leave" on the part of the soldier. General Ainsworth says that the abolition of the canteen the monotony of garrison life, the ihs creasing amount of work and study demanded of a soldier, and the ease with which remunerative employment can be obtained in civil life are causes of the evil mentioned.
 The percentage of assertions among the white troops is about ten times greater than among the colored men. Of the men who deserted during the year 1913 were apprehended and 315 surrendered. On October IS the actual strength of the army. including the Philippine scouts, was S1,77S

 Shadowed by Spies and Feared Assas-
 sination.
 As does Parr. Anderson says that while his investigations were in prog ress he was constantly shadowed by detectives and was so far convinced that he was in danger of attack and possible assassination that a special secret service agent was assigned Co act as his lbodyguard.
 Discrediting Parr's claim to a share in the reward for furnishing this in- formation, Anderson asserted that all tho important information which tho latter has obtained was secured either from Anderson or from Andersons friends and assistants.
 In his affidavits Anderson quotes Parr as saying fin one of their daily conferences during the month of No- ven Der, 1907:
 ''The government places a high val uatior upon your services in this mat tee. and you will get. under the law. between 25 and 35 per cent. of all mon- tF7 ANAoNNAth AAiA Vhhh AhAe hANNaeAne~ tion."
 Parr added, acording to Anderson: "This Is a big case. It is the kind of a case that President Roosevelt likes and you will get your full share Of tho proceeds, for you came around first of all with the information"
 New York. Nov. 16.-A letter indi- eating Anderson's conviction that the frauds would be found to involve many government employees at the New York customs house was included among the exhibits attached to the afiidavits.
 Acting on Anderson's first letter of- foring his services to the treasury de- pertinent, Acting Secretary Reynolds hli suggested that the matter be talk en up with the New York customs au- thor,ties. In reply Anderson snid that h. would rather drop the matter alto gcti.er than try to take it up through the New York customs offices, with all their probability of immediate leaks"
 He added pointedly: q am of the opinion that one might as well take tho importers themselves into his conf derce as to lay the matter before the customs house officials of this city"

SENATOR ALDRIcH AT DETROIT
Last Stopping Place in His Tour
 Made Two Addresses.

Detroit Mich, Nov. 16.-This was Senator Aldrich's last stopping place on his tour of the middle west in the interest of monetary reform. He was entertained here at luncheon today by the Detroit board of commerce and at dinner tonight by the Detroit Bankers association and spoke on both occas- ions.
 The speeches were appeals to the bankers and other business men to cooperate with the commission in bringing about general amendment of the banking laws and he was given assurance of earnest investigation in- to the question.
 At the night meeting the senator re- futed the belief that a central bank necessarily would be influenced by political considerations, pointing out that the European banks were never drawn into politics.
 He again warned the. opponents of the system against calling up the ghost of Andrew Jackson to aid in their fight.
 Andrew Jackson was a great man." said the senator. but he is dead"
 Mir. Aldrich left in a special car at midnight for New York, where he will arrive tomorrow night

FOR TWENTY HOURS
 BEHIND BARRED DOORS.
Mrs. Stetson in Secret Conference With
 Scientist Board of Directors.

Boston, Nov. 16.-A statement issued at late hour tonight by Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson of New York indicated that the differences between the former leader of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in New York and the mother church in Boston had been adjusted, at least for the time being.
 In her statement Mrs. Stetson said:
 q shall obey my leader by uniting with those who felt it was right to condemn me in their testimony. My leaders letter induces me to believe that I may have been wrong where felt that Twas absolutely right
 The officials of the mother church refused to comment on Mrs. Stetson's
 Boston. Nov. 16.-For twenty hours ten yesterday and ten today-Mrs. Au- gusta B. Stetson of New York, accused of mental malpractice" has been in secret conference with the board of directors of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in the inner council rooms of the mother church.
 As secret and uncommunicative as the doors and gates of the mother church, which remained locked, grated and barred, no word was vouchsafed as to the meaning of the conference by Mrs. StetSon, the directors of the Christian Science publications.
 Late tonight a statement was issued by Mrs. Stetson, but no mention was made of the hearing. Mrs. Stetson's statement follows:
 Our beloved leader, Mary Baker Eddy, has requested us all to unite with those in our church who are SUD- porting the mother church directors. Today I have received a copy of her letter addressed to the trustees of our church.
 For twenty-five years have gladly obeyed her leading in every question. l have always found that by doing this 1 drew nearer to God. My students kIIow that I have taught them to do likewise, without questioning her wis dom; therefore they do not now need any word from me in addition to what our beloved leader has sad to guide them at this hour. They will know that it is right for them to unite with those who supported the mother church directors in the judgment ren- dered agninst me. myself have been obeying that judgment and shall con tinue to do so. I shall furthermore otey my leader by uniting with those whc felt it was right to condemn me in their testimony. My leaders letter been wrong where 1 felt that I was absolutely right.
 Fer twenty-five years I have watch ed and prayed for guidance and strength in correcting every error re- vealed to my by God and by my leader or by any of my brethren.
 Except for three of the members of the board who left the church for half an hour at o'clock, no one was seen to leave or enter the church until o'clock tonight
 Some doubt still nrevaiIs as to tba status of the relations between the di- rectors and Mrs. Stetson, but if is. generally believed that she is attempt ing to vindicate herself from the charges brought against her.
 The directors announced tonight that session will be held at 9.3O C clock tomorrow morning.

Cherry, H., Nov. 16.-Troops were called for today to prevent the pDssi- bility of any untoward demonstration at the St Paul coal mine when the bodies of the 300 men entomhsd by last Saturdays disaster are brought to the surface.
 ''The decision to call for troops was agreeable to all parties concerned" ]" said Sheriff Skogiund. Tt was thought that when they began to take ,out the bodies confusion might ensue."
 The temperature of the interior of the mine at late hour tonight had i'm creased somewhat since dark.
 When the bodies will be reasshed is doubtful. None of the officers believed any of the 300 eritombed men ard alive. but in this respect nothing more is actually known now than was known the day of the accident.
 Thermometer Recorded 11s Degrees at
 Pit Mouth.
 The fire ragged in the mine today. A thermometer plunged into the sand scattered on top of the seal over the mouth of the pit showed a temperature of 11s degrees, indicating that thef heat in the interio-sof the mine must have been intense. :. ft @FIt's no use" said Fire Chief Koran of Chicago, "to lift the lid todslH for 1t would mean that the whole mine would blaze up and there would be no possibility of recovering even the bodies"

Methods of Big Corporations Engaged
 in the Steel Business.

Toronto, Nov. 16.-CongressionaI in Vestlgation of the steel industry as it relates to labor was endorsed today by the executive council of the Amer ican Federation of Labor It was de- cided to petition congress to appoint special committee to investigate the methods employed by all great cor porations engaged in the steel busi- ness, and if it is found that the tariff is being used to maintain corporation profits rather than benefiting general industrial conditions, the federation will recommend that the tariff on steel be suspended. The council was also authorized to levy assessments when necessary to provide funds for as- sisting in strikes against the United States Steel corporation.
 The convention endorsed the general strike in Sweden and decided to ask for contributions to aid the strikers.
 Among other matters acted upon to- day was the endorsement of the pro- posal to change the date of the in auguration of the president of the United States; it was decided to des- ignate the Sunday preceding the first Monday of September in each year as Labor Sunday, and to request the churches of America to devote some part of the day to a presentation of labor questions.
 A resolution favoringsthe erection of labor temples in every industrial cen ter was referred to the various central bodies for consideration.
 A clash between the delegates of the Boot and Shoe Workers union and the United Shoe Workers of Salem, Mass, enlivened today's session. There was heated debate over a resolution pro- posing an investigation of the man ner in which the boot and shoe work CTS authorized the use of their union stamp by manufacturers. President Tobin of the Boot and Shoe Workers defied investigation and challenged his opponents with being secessionists. Although supporttd by some of the socialist delegates, the resolution call ing for an investigation was voted down.

ANNUAL CONVENTION
Of National Association of Railway
 Commissioners at Washington.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Because of the conviction of many of the mem 6ers that an attempt was being made to limit the power of state railway commissioners, an acrimonious dis cussion marked the opening of the an nua1 convention of the National Asso- citation of Railway Commissioners here today. The discussion arose over the recommendation of a committee that the convention indorse the idea of a federal law giving the interstate com merce commission authority to pre- scribe uniformity in classification for interstate traffic and urge state com mlssioners to make exceptions spar lngly. After long debate, however, the recommendation of the committee was adopted by a unanimous vote

 Anderson has filed claims with the customs authorities for compensation. which he estimates will reach $1,O00.- 900. For the past two years. he says, he has been engaged in furnishing evi- dence to the government, and it was through him, he asserts, that Richard Parr. who now figures so prominently in the case, gained, hiseinformation.

FIRST CABINET MEETING
Since Adjournment of Congress-Nine
 Members in Attendance.

Washington Nov. 16.-No one of the nine members of the cabinet who at tended today the first meeting of the presidents official family since the ad- journment of congress would discuss what action had been taken upon any of the matters taken up with the pres jdent. It was said by one member of the cabinet that there was no neces- sity for the cabinet as a whole to consider the sugar trust situation. At torney General Wickersham and Sec retary of the Treasury MacVeagh are entrusted with this work and it was said today that the matter was being handled to the entire satisfaction of MT. Taft.
 The presidents message to congress and departmental routine were among the things discussed.
 From remarks let fall by congress sional callers at the White house to- day, there seems little doubt that congressional committee will be ap- pointed to investigate the whole sub ject of the sugar frauds and customs house corruption in New York.
 Washington, Nov. 16.-No official notice will be taken at the present time by. the treasury department of the controversy between former As sistant Secretary James E. Reynolds and Richard Parr. a deputy surveyor attached to the New York customs house.
 The meat of tho controversy ap- pears to be the desire of Mir. Parr to. obtain portion of the $2,000,000 fine imposed upon the sugar trust for alleged frauds.
 The department has taken no action on that claim and Secretary Mac Veagh was not prepared to say today whether favorable or unfavorable ac- ton might be taken on it in the fu- ture.
 It can be said on the authority of high treasury officials that practically no change has taken place in the su- gar trust investigations during the mast few weeks
