 MR. AND MRS. J.L. HICKEY

Pat Dougherty. the former member of the Bridgeport baseball nine, and now one of the star players of the Chi cago White lSox. furnished the meat for a venison dinner given last night by MT. and Mrs. John L. Hickey at their home, 309 Olive street. Mr. and Mrs. Dougherty were the guests of honor.
 After playing an exhibition game in Portland, Me, together with Fred Parent, another famous member of the White Sox, Messrs. Dougherty and Parent went into the Maine woods for a hunting expedition, and were sue cessful in landing two fine deer. They also found game birds of every de- scription in great abundance and en- joyed a very successful hunting trip.
 On their return to civilization they shipped the deer to John L. Hickey. the we'll known eXpressman here. who has for many years been a particular friend Of Mir. Dougherty. Last night Mr. and Mrs. Hickey gave a venison supper with all the "fxings'' and the affair was greatly enjoyed.

STRIKERS WITH

Express Trust Discharges Strike Breakers and Re-
 employs Old Hands

New York, Nov. 14.-An of the striking express drivers and helpers were back at work, today. For the most part they displayed proudly on their caps union buttons. The report, that no men wearing buttons would be re-employed, had stirred up a tempest in a tea pot'' and extra po- lice were on hand to preserve order, should the strike be renewed. The report proved a fabrication. The com panies held to their promises. They did not discriminate against any of the former employees.
 The congestion, in all depots about the city, is very great and ten days will be required to clear it. The strike breakers are being paid off and furnished transportation to their homes.

GIRL JUMPS FROM CAR; DIES LATER OF
 FRACTURED SKULL

A Hungarian domestic, known only to her employer, John F. Keane the Main street clothier, as Annie, died at his residence, 2936 Main street about 1 o'clock this morning from a facture of the skull sustained in alighting from trolley car.
 Yesterday afternoon the girl, who was about 16 years old but very large for her age, accompanied by rela- tive left the Keane home. About z o'clock in the evening, the girl re- turned by trolley, but was not accom- panied by her companion. When the car had passed St. Vincent's hospital, the girl made a rush for the door, and jumped off backwards, being thrown heavily to the ground. Dr. Finn at St. Vincent's hospital saw the girl fall from the car and also ran out to assist her. He attempted to per- suade her to go into the hospital, but she refused and was escorted to the Keane homestead.
 The girl was made as comfortable as possible and put to bed, it not be- ing believed at the time that she had suffered any serious results. Claim Agent Gould of the Connecticut Go. was notified and sent Dr. Nathan T. Pratt to attend the girl. Before his arrival the patient was seized with convulsions. An examination showed that the girl had sustained a frac- ture of the skull at the base.
 The girl could not speak a word a short time and had been with the Keanes only since Friday. This morning a cousin and aunt of the girl residing in Spruce street had Under taser Lesko take charge of the re- mains.

SEEK TO LYNCH
 NEGRO ACCUSED
 OF AWFUL DEED
Authorities Do Not Dare to Bring Prisoner to Court
 Little Girl the Victim
Special from United Press )

Asbury Park, N. J., Nov. 14-Be- cause of the threatening attitude of a crowd of stern-faced men, who gath cred about the police station, today. no attempt was made to arraign Thomas Williams, the negro, accus- ed of the brutal murder of nine year old Marie Smith. Chief of Police Smith sent word to the magistrate that he did not believe he could pro- tect the prisoner if he was taken to the court for formal arraignment and the examination was postponed. There is a chance that Williams will be spirited out of town some time today, and taken to Freepole, the county seat, for arraignment.
 The people are much excited and open threats of lynching are made. So serious is the situation considered, that all of the police force has been ordered on duty.
 Williams is accused of maltreating and killing Marie Smith. g year old school girl, who had been missing g since last Wednesday morning, and whose mutilated body was found in a clump of bushes in the Manasee Woods, yesterday. Coroner Robert M. Purdy and Drs. Joseph Alderman and Earl Wagner, who performed the au- topsy and Chief of Police William H. Smith, who exhibited Williams axe, with which it was alleged he struck the child down, were the ch1ef WlI- nesses before the Grand Jury.
 Peter Smith, father of the murder ed child, was not permitted to enter the courtroom. He has avowed ven- geance against the murderer of his daughter and the police were fearful that in his overwrought and dis traught state he might attack Will Hams. The mother of the little vic- tim is in a very serious condition at their home in the little hamlet of Whitesville, adjacent to Asbury Park.

BERGER TO TRY TO
 BEAT G0MPERS FOR
 LABOR PRESIDENCY
Especial from United Press. ]

\0pSCldl lTOiu OLltGu TTGSS.I St. Louis, Nov. 14-When Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor, called the 30th convention of that body, to order, here. today, American Labor buckled down to the gravest problems it has faced in years.
 The most vital of these is whether
 unionism shall stand aloof from poli- tics or whether it shall choose the newly elected Socialist Congressman,
 Victor Berger, of Milwaukee, as it's
 president and thus make the labor hosts part of the Socialist movement.
 Another serious question to be decided | is the ''closed shop question. As ad-
 vised by Berger, the radicals expect to make fight for condemnation of Gompers' policy of compromise and
 to force a discussion of a possible National strike whereby labor might stand together generally to compel set han@s of capital.
 That Berger is to make a try to dis place Gompers at the head of the Fed | eration is believed certain, through | his activity. today, among the dele gates already in attendance for the two weeks convention. Friends of the Socialist Congressman say he is all ready as strong as he was at Norfolk two years ago when only the sentenc- ing of Gompers to jail prevented nn1Sh Hght fOr the presidency. TOday'S session of the convention was con- stunned by opening. routine, and the annual report of Gompers, the read ing of which took up the greater part of the afternoon.
 Both Gompers and Berger, today, re- fused to discuss the question of ex- tending the political activity of the Federation. Before the last Pres!-
 dential election the Federation wen; so far as to indorse the Democratic platform and to refuse its endorse ment to the Republican platform. In getting the convention to endorse his Socialistic platform, Berger will oppose Gompers for the Presidency of the Federation. The issue between the two men will be tried and their strength determined before the elec- tion is held.
 One of the most important of pres ent strikes is that of the International
 Leather workers. The men quit work
 April 1, throughout the United States and part of Canada. A number of the factories have signed up, but as
 a whole, no action has been taken that would bring general relief. The
 leather workers are in convention in Chicago and will outline their course of procedure.

INVESTIGATING AUTO TRAGEDY
 LEFT TO MIX

In keeping with an understanding between the two counties, Coroner Wilson has left with Coroner Mix of New Haven county the matter of in- vestigation into the responsibility for the death of Mary A. Shaw. wife of Nelson Shaw, of 1577 Stratford ave- nue, who was fatally hurt when dis abled automobile in which she was seated was run down at Ryder's Lane, above Stratford, late yesterday by a trolley car in charge of Motorman Charles Geer and Conductor J. ". Foley.
 In view, however, of the finding of Medical Examiner LOoTnis of Derby, that the crew was not criminally re- sponsible, it is unlikely that the cor oner will find it necessary to hold an inquest. The remains of Mrs. Shaw are now at the bereaved home, 1877 Stratford avenue. She died in Derby last evening.
 Mr. Shaw, an emp1oye of the Loco- mobile Co.,, his wife, and MT. and Mrs. J. c. Shaw, of Howard avenue, were driving towards Derby in an Atlas car from Ford's garage in StratfOrd avenue. Nelson Shaw was at the wheel. His wife sat beside him. His brother and the latter's wife were in the rear of the big touring car.
 Shaw decided to turn his car about and ran it across the car tracks near Ryders Lane, which meets the car tracks near the OronoQue post office. The engine became stalled, and before he could get the car off the tracks the trolley car came speeding towards Bridgeport, around the curve and down grade. The rails were wet with furry of snow and the brakes were almost useless.
 MT. and Mrs. J. c. Shaw tried to leap out. The former escaped, but the latter was badly shaken up. Nell son Shaw was on the ground when the trolley car loomed up suddenly. He tried to reach his wife, but the car came too rapidly. Mrs. Nelson Shaw was pinned beneath the wreckage while he was tossed against the stone wall.
 A passing machine took the dying woman to the Griffin hospital in Der by. Her husband accompanied her. It was found that she had a fracture of the thigh, several broken ribs, and many internal injuries.
 Mrs. Shaw's remains were brought to Bridgeport late last night. Her husband is able to be around but is badly bruised. Mrs. J. c. Shaw was brought to her home in this city and taken home in a carriage from the trolley station. She is confined to her bed today, with Dr. c. E. Blackman in attendance. The dead woman was 37 years old. She is survived by her husband. There were no children.
