Gompers Says It's kidnapinq.

Washington, April 23.-President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor today declared that the ar
rest of International Secretary ]. j
Mcnamara of the Bridge and Struc
tural Iron Workers OF America at In
dianapolis last night was a grossly
outrageous kidnapping and attributed
the arrest to enemies of organized la
Dor and plot of money interests to
destroy labor unions.
He suggested that the state in the
exercise of their police powers, are
as foreign to each other as are for
eign countries and that no country
would think of giving up citizen on
mere demand of another country with
out a hearing.
1T might just as we'll be McNa.
mara as another The whole affair
smacks of weli-laid prearrangement.
The interests of corporate wealth are
always trying to crush the organized
labor movement and they used the
best way-to strike at the men hav-
ing the confidence of the working peo
pie. Mcnamara has had a hard fight
against the huge steel building inter-
eets with their millions, but has done
good work.
The Federation has aided his un-
ion in every way. No union has been
more bitterly attacked"
Mr.. Gompers stated he could not
say what may be done in the way of
defense of the men arrested at Indian
apolis.

was says the governors statement,
"and | did not know and do not know
now whether he is guilty or innocent.
That is not matter for me to deter
mine.
1T is the rule of my office, and
think it is the law that when a requi-
sition comes from the governor of a
foreign state, charging crime and
certifying that the defendant is fugi
tive from justice, there is nothing
for me to do but to honor the requisi-
ton and issue the warrant.

SiIrTEll SKIRT.

The harcm skirt had hardly made
its first appearance on The streets Of
Now York when q dangerous rival, an
even newer creation ofthe d-essmaker $
art, sailed into port. The newest thing
is called the four-quarter skirt. Ii
came in Yesterday on the steamship
Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm.
The new garment isliks the direc-
toire skirt, only muchmora 80. In
stead OF being sill on one side. it is slit
in front, behind and on both sides
This divides it into quarters AMI gives
an excuse ior its name. At the bottom
the flaps are fastened together. This
gives it in heavy gale the appearance
OF ruptured balloon, but it prevents
the flaps from getting in the wearer's
eyes.
Mrs. Jeanne Marchal, wife OF Albert
Machal, an importer OF Mexico City,
wore the skirt.
