G0MPERS Is CUT
SHORT IN SPEECH
Not Allowed Same Chance as Others
Before Political and Social
Science League.

Philadelphia, April 11.-An ami
mated discussion of the question of
the issuing of injunctions against
labor organizations was one of the
features of the closing session of the
annual meeting of the American
Academy of Political and Social
Science here Saturday.
j. H. Ralston of Washington, D.
c., who spoke against injunctions in
certain cases, and former Congress
men c. E. Littlefield of New York,
who took the opposite view, were
engaged in an acrimonious debate.
At the close of the session, Samuel
Gompers, who was also speaking on
the injunction, was cut short by the
adjournment of the meeting. Com
pers was incensed because he was
not allowed the same time as the
other speakers and charged that he
had not been fairly treated.
Vice President Sherman presided
at the closing session Saturday night.

Chicago, April 1i.-Attorney General
George w Wickersham, addressing
the Hamilton club membership at the
annual Appomattox day banquet here

was a fulfllment of the pledges made
in the republican platform. The ex
penses of the administration, he said,
had been reduced, revenues increased,

correction of corporate evils collected.
and, in a general way, the forces or

ANOTHER LAMB
FOR GAMBLERS
Edward Goldberg Charges He

at Bilburg Resort.
WARRANT is SWORN OUT
Constable Claims Refusal of Assist
ance at Sheriff's Ofice-His
Statement Is Disputed.

Upon complaint filed by Edward
Goldberg warrants were issued today
by Justice Phillip H. Wells for the ar
rest Of Anthony Billburg, who oper-
ates a saloon on Twentieth street be.
tween Second and Third avenues. for
gaming and conducting a gambling
house, and for Harvey Merritt rol
gaming.
A search warrant was also issued
by Justice Wells upon the Billburg sa-
loon, where it is alleged that Goldberg
was fleeced out of SIS Friday and
Sunday.
This afternoon the warrants were
placed IN the hands of Constable
Simon Goldburg. The constable Wen.
to the sheriff's Office and a little later
reported to Justice Wells that assist
ance had been refused him when he
asked for it at the Office.
Those at the sherifrs Office were
questioned in regard to the matter
later and one of them stated that Con
stable Goldburg had been there and
asked for the sheriff. but he was al
sent at the time, and Goldburg de-
parted without making known his
business. and they did not know what
he wanted of the sheriff
Can Set House in Order.
From all of which the inference cas-
be taken that Billburg will probably
be given abundant time to place his
house in order before the county AL
thorities arrive on the scene In per
son. Billburg, it will be recalled, A
few months ago was arrested by the
sheriff for gambling. Apparently he
is one of the individuals who did not
take seriously the ultimatum of the
sheriff then that there would be no
more public gambling in Rock Island

SENATE DELAYS ACTION
IN SUITS OF RAILWAY

WASHINGTON, May 17.-After Civ
ing the greater part of the day to the
question whether the government or the
Interstate commerce commission shall
appear as defendant in cases growing
out of orders of the commission under
the terms of the railroad bill, the SEN
ate today postponed action on the
subject until tomorrow.
The postponement was on an OBJ
lection made by Senator Cummins to
the presentation of the subject in a new
form on the eve of voting.
The discussion had been upon an
amendment offered by Mr.. Cummins.
AS the bill was reported, the United
States was made the defendant in all
cases growing out of the proceedings
before the commission. Mr.. Cummins'
amendment proposed to substitute the
commission itself as defendant. To-
ward the close of the session Senator
smith of Michigan introduced as sub
stitute for the Cummins amendment
the house provision bearing upon the
same subject, which provides that the
commission shall be permitted to inter-
vene in cases arising from the proceed
ings before that body.

COOL AND CLOUDY WEEK
RETARDSCOUNTRY' SCROPS

WASHINGTON, May 17-Unfavor-
able weather throughout the country
prevailed during the last week, much
to the detriment of all crops, according
to the weather bureaus weekly bulletin
issued today.
of the conditions it says Much
cloudy weather prevailed over the
central valleys, especially from Kansas
City and Nebraska eastward; over the
lower Missouri, middle Mississippi and
Ohio valleys, and middle Atlantic
states.
Farm work over this region has been
greatly retarded by unfavorable wealth
er, and vegetation made but little
progress on account of cold, frost and
lack of warm sunshine.
over the cotton growing states there
was sufficient sunshine, but the wealth
er was generally too cool for rapid
plant growth. Rain is also needed IN
nearly all portions of this region, and
especially in portions of Florida, Ala
bama and Mississippi. Some good rains
occurred in northern Texas, but the
greater part of that state has been
without material precipitation for sew
eral weeks.
over the districts from the Rockies
to the Pacific coast. also, the weather
was generally unfavorable, except over
Washington and portions of oregon
and Idaho, where warm showers and
sunshine were beneficial. over most
of the northern districts, however, the
weather, especially at the end of the
week. was too cold, and over the more
southerly portions 1t was too dry.

EARTH AND COMETS TAIL
TO COME IN CONTACT

who have crossed the Pacific for the
sole nurpose of observing the phenom-
ena of the transit of the nucleus OF
the comet across the sun disc tonor-
row.
The calculations were conducted in
program outlined by ProIessors
Leuschner and Crawford.
The main result of the calculation is
that the prediction of a transit is 1ully
verified The comet Will cross the sun
three degrees of arc above the sun
center from west to east. Inc IN
stant of geocentric conjunction is May
IS. 16 hours minutes seconds Green
wich mean time.
NOT VISIBLE HERE
The phenomena will not be opserN-
able in any part of the United STATES
The comet will not be nearest to the
earth at the time of transit, but clos
est approach will occur a day or TWO
later. The exact instant now is under
computation. In statement given
out tonight Director Leuschner SAID
"According to photographs taken
here May II the tail of the comet was was
p O00 O0O miles in diameter at the dis
tance from the nucleus at which the
carth will cross it, but according 10
information received from LICK op-
servatory the tail is diminishing rap
idlv in absolute width and length, as
is always the case after comet has
passed it's perihelion.
TAIL DIM1NISHES
photographs taken at Lick yester-
day give the estimate that the Wldth
of the tail through which the eartn
will pass will have shrunk to 1,0OO,OOO
miles. on the basis of the latter f1g-
ure it will take the earth about six
hours to pass through the tail, the
relative velocity of the particles of the
tail and the earth being approximately
fiftv miles a second. We may expect
to enter the tail at about o'clock IN
the afternoon and to come out of IT
at about II o'clock at night, Paclf1c
time "The earth will not pass exactly
through the center of the tail, but the
deviation is so slight that 1t will not
affect materially the duration or
transit through the tail. theoretically
the tail will stretch over $50 degrees
of the sky, from horizon to horizon,
lust before and after transit is seen
from the earth. 1t probably would pc
family discernible in the southwest
ern sky if the moon were out OF the
way. The phenomena, therefore, Will
pass entirely unnoticeable by the peo-
ple on the American continent, and IL
is doubtful whether the observers IN
the orient for whom the transit the
oretically is visible, will observe 1t.
