SAYS GOMPERS VIOLATED Law
KNIGHTS OF LABOR LEADER
UPHoLDs COURT DECISION.
"No Trust So Bad as the Trust Labor
Organizations" Declares Simon
Burns in Report.

Simon Burns, general master workman
of the knights Of Labor. declared in his
annual report yesterday that If he were
charged with a crime innocently or had
an honest case In court, he would want
a hearing before such a judge as Justice
Wright.
The organization Is in session in Car
penters' Hall on street between 9Th and
It'll streets. In his report Master Work
man Burns characterized the attitude of
Samuel Gompers. John Mitchell and Frank
Morrison of the American Federation of
Labor, in the contempt proceedings in
the courts of the District Of Columbia as
"a willful, premeditated violation Of the
law"
courts in general and in those In the
District of Columbia in particular. and
the delegates approved his sentiments.
He went further and declared:
There is no trust or combination OF
capital in the world that violates any
laws oftener than the trust labor organi-
cations, who resort to more dishonest, un.
fair and dishonorable methods toward
their competitors than any trust or COM
bination in the country"
Mr.. Burns said the action Of these So
called leaders, would be harmful for
years to come whenever attempts were
made to obtain labor legislation.
Taft Policies Endorsed.
President Taft's policies were Endorsed
by resolution at today's session of the
general assembly. 1t was recited that I'VE
approve Of, the efforts of President Taft
in advocating and insisting on carrying
out the pledges and platform of the party
that nominated him at Chicago and prom
Used the people they would reduce the tar.
iff and release them from this unnecessary
tax and burden. We also approve of his
action in favor Of postal savings, deer
waterways, ship subsidy bill and the re.
stricting OF and proper taxation OF
wealth."
Different legislative bodies are requested
ments to the voters from time to time
as are necessary to meet the requirements
to change or amend the Cons. tuition in
favor OF an eQuita BILE tax on wealth, the
election of the United States senators by
referendum vote and other changes H.
the Constitution, that in the wisdom oil
the citizens they decide are necessary
for the further improvement and per-
petuatiOn Of this free nation.
The assembly also approved and in
dorsed the acton of Collector Loeb in
the custom house investigation at New
York. and the hope Is expressed that 1.-The
guilty one may be punished"

Joy FOR THE GUM cHEwER.
Slot Machines Not to Be Entirely
Barred From Streets.

Slot machines are not to be barred en-
tirely from the streets Of the National
Capital The gum chewers are still go
ing to find the machines handy. 1t all
comes about through a decision Of Cor
poration Counsel E. H. Thomas.
The Districts legal adviser says:
IF the machines are not used a. signs:
are securely attached to the building %
as not to be liable to infiict injury to
travellers; do not obstruct travel. and are
used by the merchant in connection with
his business, I regard them as lawful.
"Such a machine standing on public
space is probably an obstruction to travel
and unlawful"

ALBANY, n. Y, November 1O.-The
seismograph at the New York State Mu-
scum recorded earth movements today
beginning at :3S am. and ending at $40.
The earthquake causing the movement
was of distant origin. probably In south
America Owing to the minuteness Of the
vibration it was stated that the exact
distance could not be determined.
Some slight distur Dances or the earth oc'
curing at the same time as those report
ed at Albany were recorded on the seis-
mograph of the weather bureau this

ERROR MADE BY HOUSEWIFE
Hi9h-Priced GUS OF Beef Really Con.
tain Less Nutriment Than
the Others.

The world of education will come In
for a large share Of attention at the
beef consumers congress In Denver
next January. AT the present time so
per cent. of the beef demand is for the
loin and ribs, while the chuck and
round and other portions of the ami.
NAL go begging for customers. In the
average beef carcass loin and ribs
constitute only about 25 per cent. of
the total available meat and fully so
per cent. OF the demand is for this
rs per cent. of the carcess. AS a re.
suit the loin and ribs sell at enormous
ly high prices, while the other por-
lions are comparatively cheap. For
instance, in Denver to-day the average
price of ribs Is about 30 cents per
pound, and the loin brings from q and
half to 35 cents per pound; the
round and rump can be bought from
II and half to 20 cents, chuck for Is
cents. plate and brisket for eight cents
and less, and the flank and siiet from
eight to ten cents per pound. AS a
matter of scientific fact, the round
and chuck contain more nutriment
than do the loin or rib, so that it Ia
merely a matter of preparation.

Distinction.

or course 1t may seem mean to dig
1t up on him now that he's made good,
but George w Perkins, now famous
as partner of j. Pierpont Morgan,
was once a singer in q church choir
IN Cleveland and his only claim to
distinction in those days was an Incl

the Older inhabitants OF tits town.
George lived here when he was a
young man in his early twenties and
he liked to sing He had a first-rate
voice and made the choir out at Beck.
with Memorial church, If one is cor
reety informed as to the particular
church. The choir singers sat in
lott hack of the pulpit almost hidden
from the congregation At that time

pretty young women in the choir.
We'll there wasn't any harm ia the
bass or tenor singers looking at the
contralto or soprano members of the
choir and feasting their eyes Oh them
when the sermon dragged, was there?
Certainly there wasn't But being
seated all In a row, IL was necessary
for one to tilt back ones chair in or
der to get square view of a face at
the other end.
That Is what George w Perkins did
one bright Sunday morning, If the
dope is handed down Alright He shift
ed his chair about trife to get still
better view. Unhappily, one leg of
his chair had been resting close to
the top OF the steps that led down
from the choir loft to the main audi
torium. When George shifted his chair
he shifted one leg over the edge of
that stairway
A second later a bright young man,
destined to be one of the great fnan.
eial geniuses OF the coutry, lay all in
a heap at the foot of the pulpit. And
the sermon was brought to a complete
stop just as effectively as If 1t had
been wound up by a peroration.-
