Because telephone communication
between this city and Newport, STAN
ton and others towns in Christiana
hundred is cut off, it will be several
days before the full extent of the

that on the Virden Prichett farm,
near Newport. damage amounting to
several thousands was done. A large
barn on the property was unroofed
and partly demolished by the wind
There were over 20 tons of hay in
the structure in addition to two
horses when the storm came up. The
animals were removed to places Vi
safety.
The chicken houses ON the place
which were not far from the barn
were demolished and of the $50 chick
ems that were in the buildings but ST,
have been found. Six hogs were lost
until this morning. nothing remaining
of their pen. Four large trees on the
farm were torn up and while th'
house was not damaged the chimney
was blown down.
On the Everson farm, adjoining
I considerable damage was done. The
shingle roof on the barn suffered
and the structure, which is a large
frame one, was moved from its
foundation.
Service with the country districts
over telephones was badly crippled

available are working hard to get tn

COMPERS HITS
LABORS' FOES
Calls on Workers to Desert
Partisan Politics and
Fight Independently
STYLES THE M'NAMARA
CASE As PERSECUTION
BY The United Press.

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 13-Denounc-
ing the foes of labor, "subservient
courts" injunction judges" and the
Mcnamara persecution" in Los
Angeles, President Samuel Gompers
delivered his annual address before
the thirty-first annual convention of
the American Federation of Labor
here today. To desert partisan politics
and join independently in the fight for
better labor conditions was the
remedy suggested.
Secretary Frank Morrison sub
mitted his annual report showing that
the federation now has 1,656,000 men,
bers, the greatest since its organiza-
tion.
"The spirit of revolt and change is
abroad in the land" said Gompers.
"Voters are now demanding better
reasons for support of a particular
candidate than his nomination by a
party or his Endorsement by some Of
fetal or unofficial boss. The people
from the rank and file of political
parties are more progressive than
their leaders They will no longer
submit to the rule Of evasion and false
pretenses found in platforms, and
public addresses. Millions Of intel
ligent men Of labor, having passed
bevond the influence of campaign
buncombe, have come to understand
that the welfare of the people and
promotion of the cause of labor are
more important than any party can
didacy or empty partisan success.
The spirit of liberty cannot be stay
cd by kings. nor emperors, nor even
by presidents nor by injunction and
Jail sentences"
Gompers declared that the recall
initiative and referendum are para
mount issues and certain of adoption
The Gompers report was the main
feature of the opening session, which
was attended by delegates from every
section of the country. There is every
prospect that the convention will take
some strong action in relation to the
Mcnamara trial as the feeling among
the delegates seems to be intense.

FOUL STREETS
In new YORK
Strike Breakers Utterly Un-
able to Clean
Them
MEN APPEAL TO THE
MAYOR FOR ARBITRATION

BY The United Press.
NEW YORK, Nov 13-With the
city's streets piled high with putrid
refuse and the city's health menaced
by pestilence, there was every indi-
cation today that Health Commissioner
Lederle would be forced to assume
control of the situation and clean the
city up at any cost.
A great mass meeting Of the 5000
striking garbage drivers and helpers
has been called for tonight in Cooper
Union under the auspices of the So
cialist party. The police admit they
fear trouble at the gathering.
Efforts 20 clean up the city by the
use of professional strikebreakers so
far have failed utterly. In the lower
East Side tenement districts, condi-
tions are almost unbearable. Green
grocery stores which usually clean out
their stocks on Saturday nights threw
great masses of decaying vegetables
into the streets. Tons of this stuff is
piled in the city streets.
HOOdlums Fire Garbage.
Danger of fire has been materially
increased, for hoodlums are firing
fires. The fire department has called In
all men on leave and has suspended
| the day off" period of all firemen.
! Hundreds of firemen are patrolling
the residential districts, extinguishing
these street fires as rapidly as pos
sible Commissioner johnson admitted
today the fear that serious fires might
follow.
Only ten wagons were engaged early
today in collecting the tons of gar.
bage that daily find its way on to New
York streets. Fifty policemen on foot
and ten mounted men accompanied the
wagons, while two police patrols of re
serves followed in the rear. Scores O
policemen lined the roofs of the build
ing on the streets through which the
wagons passed, to prevent the throw
ing of bricks and bottles. The polic
had orders to put down a riotous out
break with severity.
Men Ash Arbitration.

ernor Mann stands between Henry C..
Beattie, Jr., and the electric chair, the
Supreme Court of Appeals having to-
day refused to grant an appeal to the
young wifeslayer on a writ of error
Beattie's counsel had little hope of

now all the influence of the defense

Mann to induce him to grant a COM
mutation of the sentence. or at least
to issue a reprieve that will postpone
the date of execution, which now is

with the Emperor's chief advisors.
What advice he is giving is not yet
known except to himself and perhaps
half dozen of the highest Manchu

1t is the general impression that
he Is urging the desirability of the
rulers abdication in consideration Of
assurances Of personal safety for
himself and court and a pension from
the republican government.
The government seems disinclined
to act on this advice Discovery OF
the fact that it has been Industrious

belief on the Manchus' part that
there is still a fair chance of reten-

least, and to a determination to stake
everything on a desperate attempt to
do so.
