IS REMOVED
VI.:THE. MEXICAN
SHOT NOVEMBER |.
MEXICAN WHOSE COMPANION AT.
TEMPTED MURDER, WILL RE.
COVER-EEAL STILL AT LARGE.

Agapisto Albarton, the Mexican
who was shot in the abdomen by Fran
cesco Leal on Nov 2, successfully un,
derwent an operation to have the bul.
let removed this morning at Ryburn
Hospital The operation was per
formed by DR.. W. p. Fread.
The bullet, which was a 3S-calber,
entered the intestines, passing
through them in five different places,
and entered the bladder An opera
tion was performed the day he was
shot, but on account OF the serious
condition Of the patient the bullet
could not be found or removed.
Albarto is now getting alone fine
and it is thought by the attending
physician he will recover.
After he had been shot he lay on the
floor OF the house where the shooting
occurred for two hours before the mat
ter was reported to the police. His
recovery from such wounds, after al
lowing two hours to pass before they
were dressed. is nothing short Of
miraculous.
francesca Leal, the Mexican whc
fired the shot, is still at large ant
the Local police are still searching foI
him.

GOMPERS' PROGRAM
FOR LABOR PEACE

Laredo, Texas, Nov. 15.-Resolu.
tions introduced by Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, which embody the peace
program of labor, are expected to be
passed at today's session of the inter
national labor conference.
Among the provisions Of the resou-
tions are many Of President Wilson's
fourteen peace principles, in con
densed form, including a demand for
league Of free nation, and an insist
ance that no economic restrictions or
yindctive reprisals be a part of the
peace program.
The resolutions insist that labor is
not a commodity; that industrial seryi.
tude must cease, that the application
of the right Of free association, as
sembly, speech and press must be
general. The platform also denies the
right Of international commerce to the
products of child labor; declares for
the basic eight-hour day; insists
upon the general right of trial by
jury; and would give merchant sea.
men the uncontrolled right to leave
their ships in harbor
It was asserted by delegates that
the efforts of the conference, through
establishing an international perma
nent organization, are toward oppos
ing socialism and bo,shevism by ex
tending unionism.

NO CARS ARE RUNNING
NORTH OF THE'ROCK
ISLAND TRACKS
COUNCIL MAY AID.
lF NOT, AN EFFORT WILL BE
MADE TO INTEREST THE PUB
Lie UTILITIES COMMISSION.

A meeting which was attended by
hundreds OF North Ottawa residents
was held last evening in the jefferson
School to take action toward forcing
the Northern Illinois Light and Trac-
tion Company to resume their street
car service north fthe Rock Island
Railroad. The room in which the
meeting was held was filled by North
Side residents, who turned ont deter
mined to force the Ottawa traction
company to give them at least rea-
sonable car service. Plans were made
for taking the matter before the city
council and the public utilities com
mission II necessary
On Oct. % of this year, according to
the discussion last evening. the street
cars stopped at the Rock Island Rail
road tracks when track trouble
caused the suspension of traffic over
these tracks. So far as has been
learned no effort has been made by
the company to fiji this track or to re.
sumo service.
Practically all of last winter North
Ottawa was without car service, and
the residents OF this section of the
city suffered during the cold weather
for means of conveyance to the bust.
ness district They fear there will be
repetition of this during the winter
months
The car service was suspended this
year in the midst Of the influenza epi
demic.
The meeting was called by Attorney
George Weeks, DR.. l.. d. Head and w,
j. Dwyer. Mr.. Weeks was elected
temporary chairman and William
O'Connell temporary secretary.
Mr.. Weeks explained the situation
saying the franchise of the company
called for reasonable service for the
convenience Of the public, and criti
cised the company in a general way
Following Mr.. Weeks, short talks
were made by William O'Connell,
James McGrath and NJ. W. Bach, pro
testing against the unfair treatment
of the North Ottawans, which is the
only section of the city to be left en-
tirely without any kind of service.
1t was decided the city council has
IL within its power to make the com
pany furnish reasonable service on
all car lines or TO annul the franchise
All those present were appointed on
general committee to visit the reg
ular meeting Of the city council next
Tuesday morning to present petitions
asking the council to require the com
pany to comply with the provisions
of their franchise or to abandon serv
ice both as transit and power com
pany.
In case the council fails to comply
with this request and refuses to take
the matter before the public utilities
commission, plans are under way for
the, residents of North Ottawa to TAX,
the question up with the commission
themselves.
