SAMUEL GOMPERS WILL
NOT BE PUT ON SHELF

Seattle, Nov. 17,-President Sam
uel Gompers of the Americon Fedora
tion Of Labor will not be shelyed
without a fight He does not take
kindly to the plan to have him retire
and write the history of the labor
movement in America, to make way
for John Mitchell, whose friends are
boosting him for the presidency.
When told that his friends were
urging that he get out of the harness,
Gompers said:
Il don't know whether l have any
ability as writer, but l know that l
have ability as a fighter"
Gompers close friends deny that
they have urged him to retire, and
brand the statement of hackers of
Mitchell as subtle attempt to
throw a scare into Gompers" and
lead him to retire under the plan sug-
gested rather than face defeat.
The retirement of Samuel Com
pers as president of the American
Federation of Labor, so that he can
devote his time to writing history
of the labor movement in America,
and the election of John Mitchell as
president, is being predicted by dele
gates to the SSrd convention of that
body here today,
Gompers' friends have been urg-
ing him to begin his work as a his
torian of the labor movement while
there is yet time" In case he de-
cides to retire, he will be made edi-
tor of the American Federationist
and the Weekly News Letter.

MANY STEELHEADS AND
SALMON BEING CAUGHT

Rogue river fishing is just at it's
best these days. and scores of steel
heads, cut-throats and salmon are be-
ing taken daily. The river is full
Of silverside salmon, one fisherman
having landed Is of the big fellows
in a single days fishing. These are
caught on the spinner. The steel
heads are taking both fly and bait,
and one party of three, headed by
Jack Morris, was seen going through
the city with string of so, with in
dividual fish that would weigh a good
ten pounds. B. f. Skillman in two
hours fishing between the "clam-bed"
rifle and the White Rocks, landed
eight steelheads, the heaviest one of
eight pounds, and a 15-pound sal
mon. Asa Holcomb and DR.. Illsley,
fishing at the edge of the city to get
up an appetite for breakfast, got a
six and four FOUNDER. In fact,
they are all catching them now.
Fishing for salmon is prohibited
two miles below the Golden Drift
dam, though the ban applies to steel
head and other trout only to within
coo feet of the dam This is because
the hatchery people have closed the
ishways at the dam and are holding
the salmon there to take the spawn
from them.

Big Catch of steelheads-

The steelheads and silversides are
furnishing great sport for the fisher
men, and the catch is limited only
by the desire of the man to catch.
One of the prettiest catches of the
big trout reported is a string of 80
great steelheads, all two men could
lift, landed by B. F. Skillman and
Willard Wilson. The men fished
from a boat on the rifles above town.

HANSEL DIES AT
SALEM ON SCAFFOLD

Salem, Nov. 14.-OsWald Hansel,
the man who murdered Judge Frank
A. Taylor of Astoria, paid the pen
atty with his life in the execution
chambers this morning at S:S7, after
he was practically carried to the
gallows platform.
The body shot to the end of the
rope, a distance of six feet, at S;S7,
and at S:55 he was pronounced dead
by Prison Physician Roy Byrd.
The condemned man lost complete
control of himself when the two
Death guards who were to conduct
him to the scaffold opened the door
of his cell.
The guards told Hansel that 1T
is now the time to 80 to the death
chamber" and instead of arising
from his bunk, where he had been
sitting talking to Rev. George Koch
Ter, Hansel remained quiet and
seemingly not hearing what the
guards said. Not until the minister
told him to prepare himself for the
ordeal did the condemned man stand
up and submit to having his arms
pinned to his sides by a heavy strap,
Hansel bore up bravely with great
effort while he was standing before
the warden listening to the reading
of the death warrant, but as he reach
ed the top of the stairway of the
dining room through which he was
to pass to the death chamber, the
man utterly collapsed and two guards
had to carry him to the chamber
Hansel opened his eyes and stared
wildly at the moose which was soon
to be thrown around his neck, his
head dropped back and the guards
were compelled to carry him up on
the scaffold. He died without say
ing a word.
The condemned prisoner would
have never been hanged had he kept
his nerve at o'clock this morning
He tried to commit suicide and
would have succeeded had he not
become frightened and yelled just
in time for the prison physician tc
arrive and stop the flow of blood
from a lacerated artery on his wrist
which had been inflicted by sharr
point of a piece of tobacco can which
Hansel had broken off earlier in the
evening.
The crime which Oswald Hanse
expiated on the gallows today was the
murder Of Judge Frank J. Taylor
president of the state board of pilo
commissioners and one of the mos
prominent attorneys in western Ore
gon.
Meeting Taylor in the railroad sta
tion at Astoria September IA, Hanse
shot him down without a moments
warning.
Hansel gave as his reason for thi
murder that Judge Taylor drew VI
divorce papers for his wife, makinl
deavoring to effect a reconciliation
At his trial Hansels attorneys de
Tended him on the grounds of in
sanity, but the jury found him guilt,
of murder in the first degree.
Hansel at one time was an inmat
of the state insane asylum, but wa
discharged as cured.

From Fridays Daily.
Train No. Is, coming into Leland
this afternoon, struck an unknown
man a short distance beyond the de-

The engineer saw the man walk
of the track ahead Of the approach

as though bewildered, and attempt
TO cross the track Immediately in

HUNTING FOR FRIENDS
OF LESLIE WYATT

The authorities at San Bernardino,
Cal, have been trying to get in touch
with friends of Leslie Wyatt, sup
posed to be in the Grants Pass dis
trict. Wyatt died in'the California
city on the 10th inst, and among his
effects were photographs of himself
taken at the Grants Pass gallery, and
other evidence that seemed to in
dicate that he had at one time lived
here. There are now Wyatts living
in this vicinity, but they are not re-
lated to Leslie Wyatt, and no one
has been found who remembers the
latter. A San Bernardino under
taker who has charge of the remains
writes that Wyatt had no money at
the time of his death, and that un-
less his friends are found burial
will be in the Potter's field. He also
says that it is evident that Wyatt was
a man of some refinement, and that
undoubtedly he is well connected,
and that he will hold the body for
some days while endeavoring to trace
his relatives.

An inquest was held Saturday
morning over the body of the man
who was struck and killed by train
No. Is at Leland Friday afternoon.
No facts were developed at the in
quest to shed light upon the identity
of the dead man, there being nothing
upon his person that would tell who
he was or where he had come from.
The testimony showed that the en-
gine that struck him had been in
charge of Engineers Fred Blackman
and Warren Burt. When the warn
ing whistle was sounded the man
stepped off the track, turned and
waved his hand at the trainmen, and
then either deliberately stepped back
in front of the engine or stumbled
upon the track.
The dead man was about DO years
of age, five feet nine inches tall and
weighed about 140 pounds. His hair
was gray, but had been sandy in
youth. He was neatly dressed and
wore a hat that had been purchased
at Roseburg and a coat that had
come from a Sacramento, Cal, cloth
ing house. His clothing bore the
mark "S9" of a Roseburg laundry
The officials here are making every
effort to find out who the man was
but with the available clues not much
headway can be made.
