SAMUEL GOMPERs
DETROIT VISITOR
Here To Address Meeting For Cigar
makers Union - Strongly in
Favor of Reciprocity.

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor. is In
Detroit on the invitation OF the local
union under whose ans
pices he will speak In Schiller hall,
Friday evening, on Organization"
The cigarmakers feel that their ranks
have not grown in proportion to the
development OF the industry, and Mr..
Gompers is expected to stir up the en-
thusiasm necessary to increase the
membership.
Mr.. Gompers was recently before
the supreme court In connection with
the contempt cases against himself,
John Mitchell and others. The court
will decide on Feb, 21. he says. wheth-
er he and his fellow defendants must
serve out the sentences imposed some
time ago.
The labor leader expressed himself
strongly In favor of reciprocity with
Canada.
Il am not thoroughly familiar with
the subject. but II were In congress
and had 10 vote on the question today
would vote yes by all means" he
said. II think reciprocity with Can
ada would be a material advantage 10
the United States. Canada and the
states are one In m1ny ways. Tho
people are the same and only a river
separates them at Detroit. Why should
trade barrier exist any more than
between states separated by mountain
ranges or deserts? We missed gold
en- opportunity to secure reciprocity
30 years ago, and | do not thing We
should make the same mistake again"

MEXICAN REBELS DELAY
ATTACK ON JUAREZ
Diaz's Troops Capture Messengers
Sent In TO Warn Foreign consuls
TO Hit High Places.

Ell .PASO, Texas, Feb. 3.--Messen.
gers who have reached this city from
the rebel army, commanded by Gen.
Orozco, declare that the attack on
Juarez has been postponed. Gen.
Orozco has just been informed that
the messengers he sent into the city
to warn the foreign consuls OF his
intention to attack have been cap
tured by the federal troops and not
allowed to formally deliver their mes
sages. Under the rules OF modern
warfare, Orozco must give the non
combatants time to fee from the city.
Orozco has despatched several other
messengers toward Juarez and hopes
that some of them will be able TO get
through the lines Of the federal troops
end deliver the messages.
The messages to the foreign con-
suls, however, Is a matter OF form, for
every one In Juarez already knows OF
the contemplated attack. Streams OF
women. children and non-combatants
continue to cross the international
bridge seeking refuge in FL Paso out
OF the danger zone.
A desperate effort is being made by
the federal authorities to send succor
to the beleagured garrison OF 400. Gen.
Pabigo has tried to get up from Casas
Grandes, but without success, but the
latest move Is reported To be an at
tempt to bring soldiers from Sonora
TO the west.
Just how Orozco expects to bonn
bard the city is question. So far as
known here he has no artillery.
There are less than 400 federal
troops In the city, although It Is said
reihforcements are expected from
Casas Grandes.

speech today was q bitter disappoint'
ment to Lorimer and his friends.
II am constrained after a careful
examination OF the evidence" said
Root, Ito disagree with the con
clusions OF the investigating commit
tee. do this with deep regret"
The selection Of Lee O'Neill Browne
as Lorimers accredited and authoriz-
ed agent in securing votes from the
Democratic side, was discussed by
Root. He read from the testimony
to show the close relations between
Lorimer and Browne. He declared
Browne secured the votes Of his fol-
lowers for Lorimer. II only remain
ed to determine how he secured the
votes.
This is the background on which
all the testimony OF this case must De
secured and weighed" said Root. AT
the time these votes were cast, the
air at Springfield was murky with
suspicion, a suspicion now justified by
unimpeachable witnesses. II may be
that all these men swore falsely, but
we are not at liberty to reject their
testimony unless IL IL overcome by
countervailing testimony or accepted
facts. The relations between Browne
and his followers is established be-
yohd doubt"
That the powerful speech by Root
is the signal blow to the report OF
Senator Burrows investigating com
mittee, is the opinion on the floor of
the senate. Senator Roots argument
has completely riddled the defense
OF the Illinois senator by Senator Bur
rows and various reactionary mem
bers of the senate.

casioned in Judge Mandells court,
Thursday afternoon. when Walter

torney, was sworn In as jury in the
case of the Peoples State bank

aggregated $4,000, and was highly
technical and complicated. When the
case was called all the regular Jurors
were engaged in other rooms. so
Judge Mandell suggested that Mr..
Showers act as jury. This was agree
able to the attorneys In the case, and
he was sworn in.
The lawyers conducted the hearing
in the same manner as IL the jury
box were filed, and at the close argu-
ed the matter with all the power they
could command.
During recess, when Mr.. Showers
was walking about the corridor, a
deputy approached him with the In
tention OF starting conversation.
Get away, get away" warned MIR.
Showers, you are tampering with the
jury"
Judge Mandell happened along,
warned the deputy Of his danger OF
contempt, and explained the situation.
