GOMPERSSILENI,. =
ON THREATENED
LABOR WALKOUTS
Refuses to Comment on Trouble
Among Steel Workers and
Boston Police.

Washington. Sept. l5.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor. returning to
his office at the federation headquar-
ters, went over the situations arising
from the police strike in Boston and
the proposed nationwide steel work
ers' strike September p, but re-
fused absolutely to comment on
either.
There were indications, however,
that the labor chief was making
every effort to obtain from heads OF
the steel workers unions consent to
call off the proposed strike and to
await the industrial conference called
for October E by President Wilson
before taking action.
The work of Mr.. Gompers was
seen in the decision of the United
Mine Workers in convention at
Cleveland to support movement to
delay the steel workers wallout. In
requesting that the mine workers
make this decision, Mr.. Gompers for
warded letter from President
Johnson of the International Ma
chinists' association, favoring post
ponement of the strike. As the steel
workers will hold a meeting We'd
nesday in Pittsburgh to discuss plans
tor the strike. it was suggested in
some quarters that President Comp
ers was endeavoring to influence
these workers through their affiliated
unions.
At federation headquarters it was
said the steel situation was particu-
larly delicate from labor stand
point in that strikes can only be
called or settled by the unions di-
rectly involved. Labor federation Of
scials have no power to take any
action or issue any orders, though
they may give advice and assistance
and this may be particularly inf1u-
entail
Mr.. Gompers' activities are conse-
quently only taken in his capacity of
adviser and the frequent represen-
tations that the strike is being called
off by him, it was said, caused con-
siderable embarrassment.

REPORT 130 D cad STORM
TAR AND FEATHER
"LOVE THIEF" WHO
WRECKED HOME.
Such a Rabbit" Decided Not
to Shoot Officer Who Stole
Wife's Affections.

London, Sept. l5.-(By Universal
Service. )-Lieutenant Wright, who
tarred and feathered Lieutenant Kin
ahan for alternating the affections of
Wright's wife, has been released
from court-martial.
Thus ends, evidently on the basis
of the "unwrittcn law one Of the
most sensational of the many of
Eugland's tragedies of illicit love
arising from the absence of hus-
band, who was fighting at the front
while his home was being wrecked
by a love thief" Earlv last June
Lieut.. Francis Wright, assisted by
his brother, visited terrible vengc-
ance upon Sub-Lieut. Desmond B.
kinahan, a young naval officer, for
stealing, as they charged, the affec-
tons of Francis Wright's wife.
The younger Wright, himself an
ex-officer, with wooden leg and a
crippled arm, later told the story.
He said he had often warned Kina-
han to stay away from the elder
Wright's wife, and finally had OBJ
tanned a written promise that kina-
han would stop making himself con-
spicuous with Mrs. Wright while
the latter's husband was fighting in
Mesopotamia. kinahan is only 20
years old. The Wrights had been
married in haste and had lived to-
gether only six weeks before the
husband had to rejoin the colors.
The two Wrights, on the night of
their vengeance, got chains. a gal
Ion of tar and feathers. They hid
these things near a lonely country
road. Then they asked Kinahan to
come with them TO talk matters
over" Except for eyes, nose and
mouth they covered every spot of
kinahan's head and body with tar,
then stuck feathers in his long,
wavy hair. whereupon they took him
in car to the Y. w. c. A., where
Mrs. Wright was then staying. Kin
ahan, according to the younger
Wright's story, took his medicine"
quietly. Had Kinahan been a big
ger man, he added. they would have
simply shot him. but-in Wright's
words-"he was such rabbit we de-
Cided we would do the other +hirp -

SENATORS FAIL
TOFIREOPENINC
SHOTS ON PACT
Although Treaty and League
Covenant Called Up Dis
cussion Laid Over.

Washington, Sept. l5.-The Ger
man peace treaty with its league OF
nations covenant was called up to-
day in the senate, but plans of the
senate and individual senators we're
considered as precluding any actual
work on the pact until next week.
While the treaty was put before
the senate to be considered in open
session continuously until ratified or
rejected. there apparently was no
disposition to speed it along until
after the interruption Of business by
the Pershing ceremonies Wednesday
and Thursday. Senator Sherman,
republican, Illinois, will take up
most of the time of the session to-
morrow with an attack on the league
covenant, and Senator Reed, demo-
crat, Missouri. who has been speak
ing in the west against it, will speak
Friday.
The reading Of the treaty section
by section, hardly is expected, there
fore, to begin until Monday. The
league covenant comes first and
right at the beginning almost is the
amendment by Senator Johnson, re-
publican, California, which would
give the United States the same
voting power as Great Britain.
How much time the senate would
take IN considering this amendment
members today declined to say, al
though the general view was that
nearly every one on the republican
side might want to express opinions
regarding it. 1t was suggested that
Senator Johnson, who is on a speak
ing tour, might return in time to take
personal charge of the fight to equal
lze the voting clause.
After Chairman Lodge had form
ally called up the treaty today he
presented a printed text of the
treaty with Austria, supplied him by
q Chicago newspaper and obtained
unanimous consent to have it read
word for word. Senator Hitchcock
of Nebraska, who as ranking demo-
cratic member of the committee
will conduct the administration hgh,
tor ratification. made vigorous objec-
tion to this procedure, declaring il
was a mere s9uande-!ng Of time.

Limit Sentence Under Statute
Imposed on President Of
Nonpartisan League and
Chief HenCnman.
BOTH WERE TRIED ON
CHARGES OF SEDITION
Stay Of Sentence Of so Days
Granted; Jurist ExCoriates
Publicity League Men for
Biased Stories.

Jackson, Mimi, Sept. l5.-Ninety
days in the Jackson county jaiI-thc
limit under the statute-was the SEN
tence imposed by District Judge T.
c. Dean today on A. {. Townley
president of the National Nonparti-
san league, and Joseph Gilbert
former organization manager, who
were convicted July y of having
ccnspired to teach sedition.
Tovnley and Gilbert were tried
on charges of having made speeches
and distributed literature in Jackson
county and other counties of the
state shortly before and after the
United States entered the war for
the alleged purpose of discouraging
enlistments and cooperation in 9th
er war measures.
Do Not Utter Word.
The defendants themselves did not
utter word in their own behalf al
the proceedings today, during which
Prosecuting Attorney f. H. Mich
olas Of Jackson and Judge Dear
took formal occasion in open court
to brand as falsehoods the various
stories of the trial, which have beer
circulated by the league since Town,
ley and Gilbert were convicted.
Judge Dean granted stay oi
sentence of 90 days when the de-
fense will move for a new trial or
the ground Of error in the record. II
the motion is denied an appeal will
be taken to the state supreme court
Prosecutor Nicholas and Judge
Dean both went on record as de-
claring the charges that they had
been politically active against the
league or prejudiced on other
grounds were Contemplate lies
and were circulated "for the purpose
of distracting attention from the
conviction by jury of farmers"
Scathing Reference.
"Any organization that is built
upon falsehood will not long Ell
dure," said Judge Dean, referring to
the Nonpartisan league.
The Judge declared that he has re-
ceived various letters of comment on
the case, some of which praised his
conduct and few of which criti-
cized his decision. He declared that
all of the hostile letters were anony-
nous, while the complimentary COM
munications had signatures. Letters
bore postmarks from cities as far
east as Atlantic City and as far west
as San Francisco.

WOMEN PROVERBIAL
SINNERS AGAINST HEALTH.

New York, Sept, 15.-Women
were described as "proverbial sin
ners against health" and warned to
get rid of the idea that because they
were women they were entitled to
spcial sidtration by men in an
address by DR.. Anna L. Brown of
p New York at the opening session
Of the International Conference of
Women Physicians, conducted un-
der the auspices Of the National
board of the Y. w. c. A. DR.. Brown
is the organizer of the conference,
which has attracted delegates from
almost every country in the world
with the exception of Germany. its
former allies and Russia.
The principal object of the con-
ference is to offer solutions for the
problems of social reconstruction,
especially in regard to women.
Dr.. Brown took up the question
of prostitution and pleaded for a
more tolerant and sympathetic at
titude toward women who trans
gress the law.
