following the example of Europe.

FERRER DEATH
 IS DENOUNCED
BY THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR NOW IN SESSION
 IN WASHINGTON.
Is Named as Martyr to the Cause of Liberty-His Death Named
 as Military Murder.

Washington, D. C.. Oct 19-- Resolu- tions fiercey denouncing the "mur- der of Ferrer, in which, after refer ring to him as martyr it was de- clared that ms martyrdom has given the cause of liberty a great impetus not only in Spain and European mon archial countries, but everywhere that human aspiration for freedom yet seek attainment" were adopted at today's session of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor
 We, on our own personal behalf, as well as in the name of AmeIlcas workers, and the whole people" the resolutions declare, express our in- tense indignation, horror and our strongest protest against the murder of Ferrer byd irection of the Spanish government"
 Taken in connection with the action Of the supreme court of the District Of Columbia. in sentencing President Gompers, Secretary Morrison and John Mitchell, of the American Fed eration of Labor to serve terms in jail fer contempt of court, the con cluding paragraph of the resolusion is looked upon here as significant
 It declares that we take this oc- oasion of the military murder of man whose real offense was speaking, writing and teaching humanity to be- come more wise, more free and more liberty loving, to remind the people of our own country that the liberty of the citlen is only secure when trial by jury and an open court for any al- legged offense involving punishment, is guaranteed"
 The resolutions go on to declare that the cause of free speech, free press and free education has found in Ferrer another martyr, the more re- grebtable in an age when civilization boasts of having replaced the torture and brutality of medaevialism by tol- eration, freedom and enlightment."
 The belief then is expressed that Prof. Ferrer will rank with all those who have done the greatest service for humanity
 "A noble company of martyrs and a cause in which man might well give his life" the resolutions continue did tyranny require 1t. Like Jeffer- son, Washington and Lincoln of our own country he labored and taught and suffered that the people might have wisdom and be worthy of free dom" .1
 Declaring that though Ferrer suffer. ed the ultimate penalty of shame ful death at the hands of those who rule in the doctrine of the divine right of kings" belief is expressed th atthe sacrifice was not in vain.
 Among the other matters which re- ceived the consideration of the exc cutive council was brief resume of President Gompers on his obserya- uons regarding labor conditions abroad
 l. was decided that an appeal for financial aid in behalf of the wage earnets now on strike in Sweden should be made to all organized labor

THE DAY WAS GIVEN UP TO so CAL AND PLEASURE RAIN
 SPOILED THE DAY.
The Feature of the Day Was the Un. yelling of the Monument of
 Terry's Rangers.

Houston, Texas, Oct. 19.-With the same spirit that made possible the accomplishment of wondrous achieve ments during the dreary days between 1S6 land 1865. the women of the southland. who revere the memories of the heroes, men and women of that period-many of them actual partlcl- pants saw the scenes not hronicled in history assembled in Houston to. day for the purpose Of reviewing the work of she year in the ranks of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
 heavy rain during the night broke down much of the mass of flags and bunting displayed over the city in welcome to the Daughters, but 1t cid not dampen the spirits of the more than 200 delegates who gath cred in Houston today from thirty-two states to attend the opening general sessions of tn sixteenth annual con vention of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
 The sessions which are being held in Beach Auditorium, five blocks from the Rice Hotel, the headquarters of the officers, began this morning at o'clock with addresses of welcome by the city officials and by Tax Com. missioner Dashiell who welcomed the Daughters to the state of Texas on behalf of Governor Campbell who was unable to be present.
 The day was given over to social features. interspersed with little business routine.
 Reports Of officers will he submit ted tomorrow and the election of off. cers will probably take place.
 A beautiful feature of the day was the presentation to Mrs. CorneHa BranchsItone of Galveston. the presl- dent general, of a magnificent presi- dent generals jewel the pendant star being set with diamonds. Following this huge bouquet of flowers were brought to the platform, tokens of the love for the Daughters for their pres. ens president general Soon thep lain platform was turned into bower of flowers and color.
 At the afternoon session the report of the committee on credentials was read which was marked by the ab sence pf any contest.

WAS THE OUTCOME OF THE COR OVERS JURY OVER THE
 BODY OF VICTIM.
Victim Was Ward of the Jackson, La, Insane Asylum--When
 Found Was Badly Burned.

St. Fancisville, La. Oct. 19.--An in- yestigation by the coroner's jury into the killing of E. K Judson, patient of the Jackson, La, insane asylum whose horribly burned body was found near Wakefield. several miles north of here. Monday resulted late today in the holding of Dr. E. c. McKowen for the murder.
 Dr. McKowen is m prison here. It was terrified that Judson was seen late Sunday in company with pr. Me. Kowen, 10 visit whom he had been given permission by the superintend- ent of the asylum The coroners jury found that the body Of Judson had been placed by the side of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railroad tracks near Wakefield by Dr. McKow- en. No motive for the crime is given
 All the evidence indicated that Jud son had been killed apparently by strangulation some distance from where the body was found It is con sidered probable than an effort to burn the body to conceal identification was interrupted by the fear of the slayer that some one was approaching.
 Dr. McKowen's arrest yesterday fol lowed the discovery near where Jud- sons body was found of peculiar tracks made by a two-wheeled ve. hicle. The horse and cart were found at blacksmith shop in Jackson and the proprietor identfned the property as that of Dr. McKowen.
 Judson was often allowed to leave the institution under the direction of guard. In one of these occasions some time ago Iudson is said to have fiIst met Dr. McKowen, who was not one of the asylum physicians Jud son called on Dr. McKowen a number of times afterwards. it is declared.
 Judson's entrance ato the asylum followed his writing letters 10 a mum. Der of prominent residents of New Orleans wsrning them that their lives were grayely threatened |, was not long after he went to the asylum that residents of Jackson began to receive and objectionable letters. For many months the Jackson post office was flooded with these anony- nous communications
 The continuation of this mysterious letter writing came last year with the indictment of Dr. McKowen by the federal grand jury at Baton Rouge. II was charged that he had written or to be written and deposited in the postoffiee the letters in question. It was charged that the animus of the offense charged against Dr. McKowen was the opposition of certain citizens in business and political matters. His trial on this charge is set for hearing in November of this year.
 Other than to deny his guilt, Dr. McKowen, on advice of counsel, to- night declined to mase any statement the charge against him.
