DYNAMITING, SAYS > GOMPERS, NEVER SPRUNG
 FROM LABOR'S COUNCIL

New York, Dec. 4.-Samuel Comp CTS, president of the American Fed erat1On of Labor, today, declared the suspicious expressed in certain quar- ters that various unions had given their sanction to the use of dynamite were unfounded.
 ''If specific charges are made against the unions, it will be out duty to investigate,'' he said t'There has been a lot of vaporizing about these suspicious. In the Los Angeles case, you see what labor does when it finds proof of guilt. But of all the hun dreds of dynamitings over the coun- try not one has ever been proven to have, sprung from a labor union $ council. Until that proof comes, l ignore all of the accusations and whisperings of malicious enemies of labor
 Asked if he thought the confession of the McNamaras would hurt the reputation of the A. F. of L., he said:
 ''It may hurt us with the public at large but if it is necessary it can get along without the support of the pub lic"
 All the efforts to get Gompers in to. a, frame of mind where he would tive Burns failed absolutely.
 It was pointed out to him that the detective accused him of having known all along that the McNamaras were guilty and that the public should know whether he was con- vi4ced of their innocence when he defended them so vigorously. Comp CTS declared that he might reply to Burns later.

EDGAR ALLEN POE'S STORY
 IS RIVALLED

It was an errand of mercy tkui hurried Inspector David Lynch of the Health Department over to 9S Good win street, this morning, to effect tht release of an unfortunate cat, i'm prisoned between the walls of that house since last Wednesday. Inspec- tor Lynch and Frank BOchele, the owner of the house located the inn prisoned pussy by his pitiful walls and tore out portion. of the wall to effect his release:
 Patrolman Bolger discovered the presence of the cat in the peculiar situation. Pussy had managed to squirm in between the walls and the lathes of the building and his pitiful calls for assistance could be plainly heard. The poor brute crawled into this position -on Wednesday and the inmates of the house were at a loss what to do, not daring to rip open the walls.
 Patrolman BoIger had no author ity to effect pussy's release, so he al once reported to headquarters. The matter was laid before Inspector While such an affair is not exactly in his line, a feeling of mercy i'm. pelled him to hasten to the rescue o1 the starving and imprisoned cat.
 Inspector Lynch found the owner of the house and laid the case before nlfn. NT bOcnele agreed 10 allOW the walls to be sripped open to gel at the imprisoned brute. Then fol lowed scene that rivalled Edgar Allen Poe's great Story, ''The Black Cat" but there wasn't any murdered corpse to make the story complete When the lathe and plaster had been ripped away, all that emerged was a very feeble and very much frighten- ed pussy cat.
 Despite the damage caused by his adventufe, pussy was made the hero of the occasion. While weak, he was able to sit up and take the nourish- ment offered to him.

Fashionable Home Invaded By Armed
 Rejected Suitor

The quick wit of Mrs. F. P Bullard. fashionable resident of 152 Park Place. prevented what might have been tragedy in her home, today, when she automatically entertained an enraged rejected suitor of a domestic Ill her home until the police arrived and took him into custody
 Mrs. Bullard was summoned to the door just before the noon hour, when a stranger demanding admittance re- &uSed to state his business and insist ed that he must enter. His menacing manner led the maid to inform Mrs. Bullard of her fears
 For several weeks the Bullard house. hold has been annoyed by telephone calls, at all hours of day and night. The calls came from young man who, infatuated with a domestic, insisted upon making an appointment with her.
 Mrs. Builard had chanced to receive several of these calls, and when at noon today, she answered the door she readily recognized the voice of the stranger as that of the man who had been so importunate over the telephone.
 Clad in an expensive fur lined ov- ercoat, and a we'll tailored suit, he made fine appearance, but his con- duct at once led Mrs. Bullard to the conclusion that she was dealing with dangerous character
 Without much ado she bade him en- ter. and ushered him into a reception room. There she bade him remain while she went to the telephone, and quietly called the police.
 EXpectant that he was soon to see his inamorita, the caller remained quietly in the reception room until the patrol wagon arrived and a. po- liceman entered.
 At police headquarters he gave the name of Joseph Gradocke, and said /e was a teamster He had 32 calibre pistol in his hip pocket and a wal let containing $50. He said he was worth $1S,000 invested in real estate in Hungary.
