LABOR PARTY Is FAVORED
New York Central Federated Union
Makes Recommendation.

New York Central Federated Union
Makes Recommendation.
New York, Feb. 14.-The Central
Federated union of this city has is
sued an appeal to Samuel Gompers
and other national labor leaders de-
handing the organization Of national
labor party in this country, modelled
on the lines of the British Labor
party.
This action is taken, it is an
nounced, as a result of the recent
United States circuit court decision in
Hartford, Conn, awarding damages of
100000 against the Hatters' union for
boycotting. In connection with the
appeal for a new political party the
labor men state that under this court
decision any labor union in the coun.
try is liable to lose every cent in its
treasury. They add that the courts
have dared to render such decision
only because the labor element has no
representation in congress.
In Europe, it is said, boycotts are
allowed and a decision like the Hart
ford one could not be made.

SLAYER OF. SEVEN

Marshal for Kentucky.

Richmond, Va.,r Feb. 12.-Howard
Little, who murdered Mrs. Betsy Jus.
tbs, her son-in-law, George Meadows,
and the latter's wife and three chill.
dren in their home near Hurley, Blu.
chanan county, last September, was
put to death in the electric chair in
the penitentiary here. -.
Most murderers are executed for
single MURDERS; Howard Little has
seven to his account. He was no or.
binary ''low-browed" criminal. He
bore an excellent reputation in the
community in which he lived and a
number of friends still believe in his
innocence. His character appears to
have been strikingly on the Jekyl-Hyde
order.
Little was one of the handsomest
men in the state, more than six feet in
height, weighing 236 pounds, and be.
ing, in short, more than ordinarily
fine specimen of physical manhood. He
held the position of United States mar.
shall for the Eastern district of Ken.

for his assc citation with women he car.
ried himself generally without re.

clared that women had been his ruin.
alton"
Robbery was established as the di.
rect motive for the crime. It was
known that the i'll fated family had
kept a good deal of money in the
house and that Little afterwards ap.
peared to have plenty of money. 1t
is believed that he intended to leave
Virginia with his latest woman friend.

LAF0LLETTE ON HIGH PRICES
Says Especial Privileges" Explains the
Whole Matter.

Says especial Privileges" Explains the
Whole Matter.
Madison, Wis, Feb. 1.-two words
Especial privilege the in
creasing cost of living, according to
compilations made by Senator La Fol
lette. In the leading editorial in La
Follette's Weekly he blames the new
tariff law and other measures, which
in recent years have fortified special
interests, as the real causes for high
prices.
"The tariff law is not the sole rea.
son why it is harder to make both
ends meet today than it was a few
years ago." says the article. "There
are other reasons. They may be
summed up in two words special
privilege. The present tariff is an in
stance of special privilege legislation
But all the other kinds must be con
sidered and clothed with their share
Of the responsibility for the high
prices now prevailing for the necessi-
ties of life. Law made monopolies
must answer for what they have
brought about"
