OF
LABOR MEETS IN
PHILADELPHIA


Philadelphia, Nov. 9-One thou
sand delegates, representing the
organized workingmen of America,
assembled in Horticultural Hall here
today for the thirty-fourth annual
convention of the American Fedora
tion of Labor. All looked forward
to one of the greatest sessions in
the history of the federation, which
was organized in this city in 1880.
In addition to the authorized dele
gates, hundreds of union men from
all parts of the country were present
to watch the inner workings of a
national convention. The committee
in charge of the general arrange
ments planned to care for 5 900 visi-
tors during the twelve days of meet
ings.
The most talked about single
event on the twelve days program Is
the historical pageant and parade,
along with a court Of honor, that Is
to be celebrated Friday night, No
vember 13. Hundreds of floats, de-
picting the various crafts affiliated
with the mother organization, and
5000 union musicians, will feature
the spectacle. Over $4,000 trades
union men have signified their inten-
tion of being in line. Two banquets.
three theatre parties, two profession
al boxing matches, sightseeing tours,
etc., are the main events in the en-
tertainment program
The city council Of Philadelphia
established precedent in voting
$25, 900, which was handed the ex-
ecutive committee of the A. f. of l..
to help pay expenses of the conven-
tion. No other city in which |.
federation has met has ever been go
hospitable.
One of the features at Horticul-
tural Hall that is attracting much
interest is the comprehensive display
of union label products. The hall
contained exhibits of the hatters
cigarmakers, broommakers, mould
ers and other union workers pro-
ducts. The exhibit covered $4,000
square feet of floor space.

Washington, Nov. 9.-The Issue
of peace or war in Mexico will be de-
cided within twenty-four hours.
This was the judgment today of high
officials, who insisted that the maze
Of conflicting reports and rumors
coming out of Mexico caused them
much difficulty in following the real
course of events. Secretary Bryan
returned today from political cam
paigning to take charge of pre-
cedure in Mexico Reassuring ad-
vices from General Funston in Vera
Cruz and also from various agents
of the state department give officials
hope Of a peaceful retirement of
Carranza.
By Tuesday it is understood that
Carranza will decide whether he will
accept decree Of the Aguas Calientes
convention naming General Guitie-
rez as provisional presi1ent, Off
cials indicated today that further ne
gotiations with Carranza regarding
evacuation of Vera Cruz would not
be pursued until further develop
ments ensued which may place the
successor in charge Of the Mexican
government. At most many officials
believe the chief danger to Ameri-
cans at Vera Cruz is from possible
sporadic attack.

'D|SCREO|T REPORT PRINCETON
POLICE FREED V0N KREBS; THINK
HE IS STILL IN NEW YORK CITY
Man Thought to Have Been
Insane New Brunswick
Murderer is Given Lodging
by Police in Princeton.
Speota1 to the EVENING NEWS.


New Brunswick, Nov. 81 The
story that Richard Won krebs, the
alleged insane murderer, was seen in
Princeton, was discredited at the Of
fees Of the sheriff and the prosecut-
or this morning. That Won Krebs
is still at large is certain, but the
opinion prevails here that he is still
under cover in New York City.
Sheriff Appleby for the past few
days has personally conducted a
search for the mad fugitive, and de-
clared this morning that though all
efforts to trace the man had failed,
he believed that the fugitive was In
New York, where lives Mrs. Won
Krebs. The prosecutors office Is
running down every rumor that Is
liable to present clue, and the
police OF New York are securing that
city for the madman.
Henry Rheil, one of the maniac's
victims, was reported as being much
improved at ST. Peters Hospital this
morning, and will probably recover.
Besides shooting Mr.. Rheil twice
last Wednesday, Won Krebs fatally
shot Mrs. Rheil, who died shortly
afterward.

gave Hirner 148 while it now dis
covered that he received 16S votes
there. There was g. few mino
changes In the figures, which
brought the results up to the figures

If dying person received the last
sacraments from him what would be
the result?
1. Nothing could rob Father
Schmidt of his priestly powers
"Once a priest, priest forever" The
fact that he himself sinned did not
rob him of the power to give absolu-
ton to those who went to confession
to him. 2. Yes, even though a
priest sins grievously he has still
power to offer up the sacrifice of the
Mass; but by doing so in the state
of sin he adds to his own guilt. 8.
The same as if he had received the
last Sacramento from any other
priest.

The Battle of Democracy.

When the ceremony was over, and
the King and Queen had departed, we
enjoyed an informal chat with the
Dukes and Peeresses who had laid
aside all formality, their conversation
sparkling like the diamonds on their
fingers and breasts. We were made
to feel quite at home in their company
after an introduction to his Grace of
Norfolk, the Baroness of Iverclyde,
the Marchioness of Rutland and host
of others. One would rather like them
for neighbours, and it is thousand
pities that democracy is going to
sweep them all into the ash-heap. But
the battle is on, and they are playing
losing game with the modern world.
Home rule is only one phase of the
struggle, as Mr.. Redmond said in his
last London speech; tomorrow Brit
ish landlordism must go; the next day
it will be vote for every citizen. AL
ready Parliament is omnipotent which
means in plain terms that the people
rule. Hence the time is not far dis
tant in Great Britain when Kings and
Dukes and Peeresses will be as dead
as the Ichthysaurus or Pedrodactyl.
How thankful we were then to have
this last opportunity to shake the jew
elled hands of the old order and enjoy
final glance at the velvet and ermine
and gold. All too soon, we felt, the
strengthening angel of democracy
would erase this bright medieval pag
cant, and our thoughts and sentiments
were akin to those of King Arthur
when he bid adieu to the Round
Table.
