death during a desperate struggle was
disclosed today by a post mortem exam

had been wounded in the head by pistol
bullet.
At first it was believed that McKniff
died from injuries inflicted by a black
jack in the hands of a robber. but later
evidence tended to prove that there was
a more sinister motive for the crime. Nc
Kniff was found unconscious in the
street last night and Immediately scores
of his friends began a search for the as
sailant. The Delaware County commits
sioners have offered a reward of 81 900 for
the apprehension OF the slayer.

GOMPERS COMES OUT
AGAINST ARBITRATION
That Is. He Tells Unrest Probers La
Dor Won't Tolerate Com
nnlsnry Sort

The working people of the United
States will never tolerate compulsory ar
bitration." Samuel Gompers. president of
the American Federation OF Labor, told
the Industrial Relations Committee yes
to-day afternoon. Il stand for media
ton and conciliation." Mr.. Gompers con-
TIMED, but the thing best calculated TO
bring about the best results with the
least injury to sentimental principles is
that coming from the organization of
working people. The better the work
men are organized the better results are
to follow.
THE greatest problem that we have
is TO meet the notions of certain sets of
men as to how TO regulate the relations
between men and employees Collective
bar gaining is essential; individual bar
gaining ineffective and at variance with
every fact developed in the last three
decades"
J. 4. Emery, counsel for the National
Association Of Manufacturers, and
Charles Frances. OF New York, a large
commercial printer, also testified.

Hope TO Settle Differences with EN-.
ploycs Tomorrow.
A meeting of Representatives of the
brewers Of Washington and their en-
ployes will be held at the ONCE Of AT
torney Alexander H. Bell tomorrow. at
which definite agreement between the
brewers and employees probably will be
reached. This announcement was made
last night following a preliminary con-
ference held at Mr.. Bells ONCE yester-
day afternoon.
The chief trouble seems to lie In the
probable reduction OF forces at all brew
cries after the Jones-Works excise law
becomes effective November ], reducing
the number of saloons In Washington
from 462 to 800.
The brewers contend that the con-
sumption of beer will decrease by reason
of the smaller number of saloons. while
the workers hold that the remaining sa-
looms will offset the decrease by greater
individual volume Of business. It is
practically agreed, however, that the
men will be given a gradual Increase
In pay and an eight-hour day.

NEWLANDS AND THOMAS
TO FIGHT AGAINST REPEAL

The administration last Eight learned
that Senators Newlands, of Nevada, and
Thomas, of Colorado, will take a stand
against the administration in the Panama
Canal tolls issue.
Il have not changed by views upon the
Panama tolls question" said Senator
Newlands. Il do not believe that the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty involved the aban-
donment OF our traditional policy re-
garding our waterways, which has made
all expenditures for their development a
charge upon the National Treasury, and
not upon our domestic tonnage.
I'VE are the benefactors of the world s
commerce, and it would be unconscion-
able upon the part of England, the chief
beneficiary, to insist that we should
abandon a settled domestic policy in order
to meet a strained construction OF the
treaty.
IF there is any doubt about the treaty
II should be settled by diplomatic negoti.
