Little Sympathy Shown for

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 3O.-Sceues of
the widest disorder marked today s
session of the United Mine Workers Of
America.
Duncan Mcdonald, secretary and
treasurer Of the Illinois miners, charged
that Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, was
gloriously drunk during the Seattle
convention and on other occasions
Gompers denied the accusation from
the convention platform. He called
Mcdonald fliar' and "slan-
derer' Charles H. Meyer, president
OF the Western Federation Of Miners,
reiterated the charge that if the Mich
lgan copper miners strike failed it
would be because Of financial assist
ance not iven by the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor.
The delegates showed little sympathy
for Gompers. He asserted he was be.

HE DECLARES 1T
is FIRST OFFENSE
Officers Are of the Opin-
ion, However, That the
Man Is an Old Offend
er and Will Look Care
fully Into His Record.

Federal Officers yesterday forenoon
rushed into a countcrfeiter s plant and
captured Milton II. Lee, a Venerable
graybeard, as he was in the very act
of making counterfeit So gold piece.
The ancient counterfcitcr had Just
taken the counterfeit coin from the
die and it was still burning hot.
The counterfeiting plant was at 80
Donelson court. Here, for the past two
weeks, Lee has been making a dozen
counterfeit coins day. La the place
were found spurious coins representing
value of $500. They had not vet been
gold plated, but Lee admitted to the Of.
ficers that he had proposed to electro
plate them soon. Lee is 81 years old,
and with his long, white hair and white
whiskers, has a patriarchal appearance.
He declares that he has never before
been in trouble. but the officers are in
clned to believe that be is an old Of
fender.
Threatened Suicide.
To a confidant Lee had declared
that if he were ever caught by the Of
ficers he would commit suicide before
submitting to arrest A few days ago
he purchased some cyanide of potas
sium. With this he may have intended
to kill himself, or he may have pur-
chased it for use in the gold-plating
process for the counterfeit coins. In
any event, the sudden arrest by the of
ficers left Lee no opportunity for sui
eide.
Information which Arst aroused the
suspicion OF the federal officers was re-
ceived from w. J. Wertz. who lives at
S5 Donelson court Wertz said that Lee
had rented room from him about three
weeks ago and told him he was working
on On invention. but WertZ suspected
that he was O counterfeitcr. He noti-
fled Marshal James II. Anderson OF his
suspicious about week ago. Marshal
Anderson wired this information TO Den

service was sent to Salt Lake to inves

Tumult Is Great.

After Mcdonald had concluded. the
tumult was so great that Gompers, de-
spairing of hearing. put on his over
coat and hat and started to leave. The
delegates were silenccd, however by
an appeal from Meyer, and Gompers
returned,
The session was short and the only
other business transacted was to reaf.

suffrage, discuss plan to decrease the
representation at the conventions,
winch wns referred to a referendum,
and vote down proposition to place
clause in tho constitution prohibiting
members of the military from becoming
affiliated with the miners organization.
Gompers sat within four feet of Nc
Donald and during the applause which
greeted the statement that the head of
the federation was "gloriously drunk 20
at Seattle, charges OF "liar," "slan,
derer' and tho like were hurled back
and forth by the two. In addition to
the Seattle occasion, Mcdonald said
Gompers was under the influence of
liquor at the Atlanta convention.
