| MYSTERIOUS ATTACK.
Man and Wife Shot While Riding in
Automobile-Husband May
Die.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 13.-Mystery
completely surrounds the probably fa-
tai shooting of George Hammer of this
city and the wounding of his wife
while riding in ther automobile near
North 'Tonawanda en- route to this
city early today. Both are in St
Mary's Hospital in Niaraga Falls
where it was said that Hammer, a
wealthy man, will probably die.
The shooting was from ambush and
both Hammer and his wife insist that
they have not the slightest idea who
was responsible. They declare that
they have no enemies and can assign
no reason for the shooting. The po-
lice of North Tonawanda and all OF
the towns on the American side OF
the river are working on the case but
admit they are without clue.
Hammer went to Niaraga Falls,
Ont, yesterday to bring home his wife
and their small son who had been Wis
iting Mrs. Hammers mother. They
left for their home in this city in Han
ner's car which was in charge of chau-
ffeur Cello Chambers.
The run was made along the river
road and just as the car turned into
Schenck street, North Tonawan Ia
some one fired shot from behind a
pile of lumber. Hammer threw up his
hands and slid into the bottom of the
car with bullet through the top OF
his head. The chauffeur brought the
car to stop just as the person in am
bush fired again, the second bullet
striking Mrs. Hammer in the leg.
Chambers drove the car to the po-
lice station where doctors who were
called declared Hammers condition
critical. Both of the wounded were
rushed back to the Niagara Falls Hos
pital where an operation was perform
ed in the hope of saving Hammer
life.

WAN IS INCREASED
REPRE5ENT TA7|0N
Official Program Of the
American Federation of
Labor.
WEEKLY NEWS LETTER
President Taft Scored in Appeal to
be Distributed Broadcast to Labor
Publications. -.

Washington, Sept. 13.-"Increase
organized labor's representation in
Congress"
This is the keynote of the 1912 po-
litical program to be officially announ-
ced tomorrow by the American Fede-
ration of Labor. The "weekly news
letter. of the Federation to be issued
tomorrow sounds labor's campaign
cry.
President Taft is scored in the labor
appeal to be distributed broadcast to
labor publications. But neither Gov.
Wilson nor Col. Roosevelt are shown
partiality. The three party platforms
are sent out in full, with criticism for
the Republican and about equal praise
piven the Democratic and Progressive
labor planks.
"The Republican party totally ig-
nored the questions affecting labor's
demands for principles of justice and
human liberty" the Federation dict
um recites. "The Democratic declar-
alton is a reaffirmation of the fav-
orable planks of 1908, while that of
the Progressive party is equally out
spoken and favorable.
"The addresses of the Presidential
nominees and the activities of each IN
the past must be borne in mind" the
statement continues.
"Mr. Taft has accentuated his an
tagonism to the correction of the evil
and abuse of the injunctive power,
while Governor Wilson ard Mr.. Roose-
Welt have been outspoken in favor OF
these reforms.
"Of the Republican party, as long
as it had entire control of leglsIa-
ton and the administration, 1t was
impossible to get from it any conslde-
ration, much less any action, on any
fundamental question effecting the
rights, interests and justice due the
toilers of the country, as evidenced by
the deaf ear turned toward the toll
crs by Congress when the bill OF grle-
vances and protest were presented to
President Roosevelt and Speaker Can
non."
The political bulletin, approved by
President Gompers and other labor
leaders, calls on union laborers to
elect municipal, county, state and Con-
pressional candidates favorable to
labor.
"Don't be deluded by fanciful pollt-
ical programs that assume to trans
port the labor movement to some Uto-
pian land of promse," is significant
statemnt of the labor chiefs.
"Oppose our enemies, whether they
be candidates for president or other OF
fees" the appeal concludes.

FUNERAL OF LATE
N|kADO Of JAPAN
Body Borne From Imperial
Palace to Aoyama Parade
Grounds.
LONG LINE OF MARCH.
Car Drawn by Sacred Bullocks
Weighing 10000 Pounds, Procession
Moves in Complete Silence.

Toxic, Sept. 13.-Through packed
ranks of his former subjects the body
of the late Mikado, Mutsuhito was
borne tonight Japanese time) from
the Imperial Palace to the Aoyama
parade grounds for the ceremonials
which Immediately preceded its remov-
al to Kioto for burial
The funeral procession left the pal
ace at $50 p. M, and the march to
the parade ground occupied little
more than an hour The line was so
long that when the head of it reach
ed its destination the rear was just
starting from the palace gate.
On each side Of the funeral car
marched group of the highest mill
itary and naval officers in Japan.
There were so many that it was i'm
possible to include all in the process
sion. Those who could not march with
it lined the streets, through which the
car and it's escort passed.
The car, itself, gorgeous with dec
orations and drawn by the sacred bull
locks always used at such ceremo-
nies, weighed 100 kwamme, 10000
pounds. In view of its weight, por-
tions of the streets through which
it was drawn had to be rebuilt.
The procession passed through the
streets in almost complete silence eX-
cept for the steady step of the SOL
diers' feet and the peculiar hysteri-
cal, though no. loud, sobbing, char
acteristic of the people o. the East
The portion of the parade ground
chosen for the services was enclosed
by a high bamboo fence within which
was accommodations for about 100000
people. The scene was weird in the
extreme. 1t is the imperial custom to
hold the funerals of all japanese
rulers or members of their families
at night-at the time of rest and
peace. Under the flicHering lights the
shinto priests moved about like
ghosts. The air was filled with the
monotonous throb of japanese music
and the sound of the burial chants IN
the ancient language of Nipon-the
Latin of Japan.
Like all Japanese ceremonies the tu-
neral services are excessively and
wearingly long. The formalities at
the parade ground will be concluded
sometime after l a. nl., after which
the funeral party will entrain for
kioto.
Toxic, Sept. 13.-The Mikado issued
a proclamation of amnesty tonight,
freeing hundreds of his subjects, i'm
prisoned either following conviction or
awaiting trial. Certain anarchists
were specifically excepted. 1t is not
vet known whether the 123 Koreans
accused of completely in plot to as
sassinate Count Terauchi, Japanese
governor general of Korea; were in
cluded
Toxic, Sept. 13.-Packed with stu
dents gathered for service in connec-
tion with the late Mikado's funeral,
the floor of the Mepi University as
sembly hall collapsed tonight. One
hundred were injured.
