TO HOLD SESSION
Bio Annual Convention Will Be
Held This Month at
Toronto.
CANADA'S FIRST Meeting
cANADA's FIRST Meeting
ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING
ADDRESSES WILL BE PRESl-
DENT GoMPERs' REPORT ON
HIS EUROPEAN TRIP.
(American News Service)

(American News Service)
Toronto. Canada, Nov. 6.-Organized
labor in all its branches. throughout
the United States and Canada. will be
represented at the twenty-ninth annu-
al convention Of the American FEEDER.
alton of Labor. which will convene in
this city on Monday. November Sth
and will continue in session until all
its business has been transacted.
This will be the first convention Of
this organization ever held in the Do
minion of Canada, and it is expected
that the right to organize the workers
of Canada. on international union lines
will be given a considerable impetus
as a result.
The cases of Samuel Gompers, John
Mitchell and Frank Morrison, which
are now before the Courtof Appeals of
the District of Columbia on an appeal
taken from the sentences imposed up
on the men by the supreme court of
the district. on the charge of violating
will be thoroughly discussed, and res
olutions will be adopted asserting, at
any risk, the freedom of speech and Of
the press.
Report by Gompers.
1t is expected that Samuel Gompers.
the president of the organization. will
deliver a very interesting report. as
a result of his recent European trip.
Among the many important subjects
to be discussed will be one relative to
the establishment of a department of
labor. with a secretary co-equal with
the secretaries of the other depart
ments Of the government.
This question was discussed at a re-
cent meeting of the executive council
of the American Federation Of Labor
held in Washington. and it was decid-
ed to introduce a bill to this effect at
the forthcoming convention.
The relation of organized labor to
industrial education is another ques-
ton that will receive the attention of
the delegates. At the Denver meet
ing last year. the proposition was ad-
vanced that the education of workmen
in trades not under union auspices
threatened the cause of union labor.
committee. headed by John Mitchell
was appointed to investigate and they
will report their findings at the forth
coming convention.

1ne nrsr reat sleeping car was built
In 1854. 1t was called the Pioneer.
and the builder further designated It
by the letter "A" not dreaming that
he would soon exhaust the letters Of
the alphabet. The Pioneer was built
in a Chicago and Alton shop and cost
the almost fabulous sum Of $4,000.
That was reckless extravaganza in q
year when the best OF railroad coaches
could be built at cost not exceeding
$500. But the Pioneer was blazing
a new path in luxury. Without It was

 A command to open the door met with a quick response, and then came the command to bring the negro from his cell at once or there would be a fireworks display. The negro was brought forth. several of the mob following the turnkey with drawn revolvers. When the mob re- turned from upstairs with the prisoner, the two officers thought they had an op- portunity to protect the prisoner and at tempted to draw their revolvers, but they were quickly overpowered and thrown to the floor, where they were held until the negro had been rushed from the jail. out into the plaza, where rope was quickly placed about his neck and he was drawn up at the same point where only four months ago a negro rapist was lynched. So quickly was the lynching carried out that not three minutes elapsed from the, time the mob entered the jail until the negro had been strung up to the pole.
 This morning the coroner ordered the body removed and a jury summoned, which, after viewing the body, adjourned until this afternoon to make thorough examination and ascertain if possible the identity of the men who formed the mob.

WORK AT THE ORE MINES

Bessemer, April 5.--(Special. )-Train No. 20 on the Southern Railway from Mobile to Birmingham had a narrow escape from derailment last night at Valley Creek junction at Bessemer, and but for some thing frightening the desperadoes before they had made complete arrangements, is is highly probable a disastrous wreck would have resulted.
 The train was slowing down for the crossing when the engineer saw a hand car chained partially on the track in front and while he was still making good speed he slowed down so that the en- zine struck the obstacle and threw it off, with no more damage than the tear ing off of a step on the side of the engine. The wreckers had evidently in- tended to place the handcar so it would be tight and fast and would wreck the train.
 The matter was reported to the police and while it is not known who they are. it is highly probable they are the same gang that has been operating around Bessemer for the past week.

ENGLAND BEHIND
 IN AVIATION

London, April 5.-Great Britain seems waking up to the fact that the other nations of the world are leaving her behind in the race for command of the air. While the members of the House of Commons were drawing the attention of the government to the fact that Germany has built or is building a dozen drigible airships and urging the government to take up with energy the construction of a British fleet, this afternoon there was being held a meeting in the mansion house under the chairmanship of the Lord Mayor of London in support of the same object. Among those present were Ad- mlral Lord Charles Beresford Prince Louis of Battenburg, Lord Curzon, Sir Hiram Maxim and Admiral Sir Percy Scott, all of whom heartily supported energetic action.
 Admiral Scott advocated a two-power standard in airships as well as in Dread thoughts, and he mentioned incidentally that the navy had designed a new gun which at distance of 5000 feet could be exceedingly destructive to airships.

April 5.-That a new rail- road, extending from Kansas City to the Gulf of Mexico, will be in operation with in three years, was the statement made by William Kenefick, who is constructing the Oklahoma and Gulf road from Wag- oner, Okla, to Calvin. Okla, and who returned from France today. MT. Kene- fick has secured the support of a num- Der of French capitalists in the new venture. He announced today that a bond issue has already been arranged abroad. which will be sufficient to ex- tend the limit from Calvin to Denison, or Sherman, Tex. Mir Kenefick says he has the assurance that the funds necessary to build the line north from Wagoner. Okla, to Joplin, Mo, will be available as soon as the road is built to Texas. If connection cannot then be made with some existing railroad, MT. Kenefck will proceed to build his own line from Joplin to Kansas City.
 Tt Is altogether probable said he that the Missouri Oklahoma and Gulf railroad will operate it's own trains over its own tracks from Kansas City to Texas within two years. A survey has been made for extension of the road south from Texas and the end of the third year may find our tracks from Kansas City to the gulf"

PENSACOLA NEGRO
 LYNCHED BY MOB Slayer of Policeman Meets With Violent Death IS HANGED ON THE PLAZA Only a Dozen Men Make an Entrance Into Police Station and Take
 the Negro From the
 Officers

Pensacola, Fla, April 5.-Dave Alexan- der the negro murderer of Police Officer Carter, who was stabbed to death in a negro settlement of the city early Sunday morning, was taken from the city jail this morning at o'clock and lynched by a mob of twenty-five or thirty men, the body being swung from an ornamental electric light pole in the center of the plaza, within half block of the city and county jail, and just opposite the post office. One volley of possibly forty shots was fired into the body of the negro, which was the first intimation a dozen policemen within a radius of two blocks knew of the trouble. The mob then fled and not one was recognized.
 There was no excitement in the city Sunday or during Sunday night and tine chief of police, wlio had been about the station, went to his home about Il o'clock, leaving the night captain in command. The latter had left the station few min utes prior to make an investigation about a block distant During his absence about a dozen men entered the main corridor of the station and. walking quietly up to
