Cardinals Gather to
Break Fisherman's Ring

Rome. Aug. 81 delayed in trans
nission). - Twenty-three cardinals
met late to-day in the first congre-
CATION of cardinals to arrange the
temporary government of the church
and prepare for the conclaye in Sep
tember, when a successor to Pope
Plus y will he elected.
After taking the oath to maintain
secret their discussions. even to the
shedding of blood" the cardinals per-
formed the traditional ceremony of
breaking the fisherman's ring. The
rite however. was not literally carried
out. According to the rules of the Sa-
cred College, the ring should be
broken and later reset and presented
to the new Pope. To-day, after each
of the members present had identi-
fed the ring, it was found that none
had the strength to break it, even
though a hammer was employed Aid
was not at hand as Cardinal Della
Nolpe had not permitted the presence
of any one except the cardinals, and
the latter finally decided that the
symbolical ceremony would he prop

was scratched. This was done.

P Pennsylvania Witnessed
German Defeat at Liege
Shccini To The Telearnhh

Uniontown, Pa, Aug. 22.-De-
scription of the battle of Liege was
told yesterday by j. B. Quertimont. a
glassworker of Point Marion. who has
Just returned from visit to his old
home near Liege. He said:
while the losses on both sides were
heavy the Germans suffered greater
losses than the Belgians
o Advancing to the forts, singing
their national songs. the Germans
were moved down like grass by the
deadly aim of the Belgians. Undaunted
by their comrades falling on all sides,
the Germans pressed on and on, only
to be repulsed again and again.
AN idea of how some of the small
towns will practically be depopulated
may be gathered from the fact that
out of 27S soldiers from my home
town only eight survived the battle
Thousands and thousands of corpses
strewn over the battlefield, pre-
sented a horrible spectacle to the SOL
diers who were to engage in the next
days battle, knowing that their turn
was coming, sooner or later"
Mr.. Quertimont had difficulty secur-
ing passage, but finally succeeded in
leaving Liege and reaching here.

Roosevelt Rejects
Hinman; To Support
Third Party Man
Special to The Telegraph

oyster Bay. Aug. 22.-Colonel
Roosevelt last night withdrew his re-
cent Endorsement of ex-State Senator
Harvey D. Hinman, a Republican, for
the nomination as governor on the
Progressive ticket and pledged him
self in the most vigorous terms to the
support of a straight-out third party
fight in New York State.
Hinman was tossed into the dis
card by Colonel Roosevelt after a
brief and animated conference at
Sycamore Hill with the committee of
twenty-one appointed by the State
committee of the Progressive party to
map out it's campaign. The commit
tee came here on William NJ. Childs'
yacht after a meeting in New York,
at which it was voted to make lone
fight.
Colonel Roosevelt will under no cir
cumstances be the Progressive candi-
date for governor. He sent that word
to the committee in a message couch
ed in unmistakable language, before
the committee left New York. AS a
result no strong effort was made to
get the Colonel to change his mind.
The indications here are that either
William II. Hotchkiss, eX-State super
intendent of insurance, or Frederick
NJ. Davenport, who ran for lieutenant
governor in 1912, will be the nominee.
Hotchkiss now seems to be the favor
lite. Both of these men were at to-
days conference.
Colonel Roosevelt promised the Pro-
gressive party that he would make
a campaign from one end of New York
State to the other for the nominee of
the Progressive party and do every
thing in his power to bring about his
election.

GOMPERS SAYS WAR
WILL NOT AFFECT
AMERICAN LABOR
President of Federation Thinks
Struggle Should Induce Cap
italists to Ivest Here
,Shccirl 20 The Tcleernth

Atlantic City, n. j., Aug. 22.-Sam-
uel Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, who is
chairman of a special committee OF
Federation executives in session at the
Hotel Strand, to devise ways and
means of averting internal conflicts.
to-day declared the belief that the
European war will not materially af-
feet American labor conditions.
Il see no reason now, with the sit
uation steadily improving so far as
the export trade is concerned, why
American workmen should suffer
through any lack of employment be-
cause the nations of Europe see fit to
60 to war" he said. "One result of
that futile struggle of great armies of
men, throttling industry all over Eu
rope may be to convince Americans
that it is wiser to stay at home and
invest their surplus funds in substan
tiai enterprises on this side of the
water. Another practically certain
result is. to open the markets of the
whole world to American commerce.
1t seems to me that the splendid OPP
portunity that now presents itself for
the manufacturers of this country to
develop trade in South America and
Asia must bring an era of great mer-
camille prosperity. More machinery
and more plants and more operatives
will he needed and labor will share in
the good times"
