THE MOKNING OKEGONIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1902. CHARGES FELL FLAT Shaffer Failed to Make Case Against Gompers. . NOT EVEN DIRECT ACCUSATION Jfobody Found to Run Against Gom pers for PrcKident of tlie Fed- eration Various Reso lutions Adopted. NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 19. The special committee appointed -to consider the charges made by President Shaffer, of the Association of Iron. Steel and Tin work ers, against President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, will report tomorrow. As an investigation. It will terminate In the exoneration of Gompers. and as a sensation it will probably wind up in the wet firecracker class. Mr. Shaf fer has notonly failed to substantiate his charges, but a member of the committee is authoritv for the statement that he has never made any, to that body, at least. He has appeared before the com mittee, and when he came away he de clared he had presented his charges. The committee says he did not formulate them. In the absence of direct accusa tion, there can be but one end to the in vestigation. The convention today wrestled with the subject of the autonomy of trades coun cils, and the matter was not exhausted when the adjournment was taken at 6 o'clock. Floods of oratory were poured out, but nothing was definitely settled. The chief fight of the day came in the old struggle between the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and the Amal gamated Association of Carpenters. The former organization asked for the revoca tion of the charter of the latter because of alleged practices contrary to the In terests of the trades union movement. Its avowed object being to force the other? organization in Its own ranks. Alter sev eral hours of debate, the matter was re ferred to a committee of 11, five from each organization and an umpire to be mutually selected. The committee is to meet on or before March 1, 1903, and en deavor to bring about an amalgamation of the two organizations. All hostilities are to cease, pending the meeting of the commission. ( The faction In the conventlpn which is opposed to the re-election of President Gompers has yet been unable to fix upon a rival candidate. Vice-President James Duncan has refused to commit himself In either direction, and James M. Lynch, of the Typographical Union, was spoken of as a candidate, but he declined the right to run. Porto Ricans in KnTrn.il. The committee on resolutions reported this morning on the resolution that Porto Rlcan laborers taken into Hawaii are be ing ill-treated, and should be returned by the United States Government to Porto Rico. The committee recommended that the charges of ill-treatment be investi gated, and If found to be correct a petition for the return of the men to Porto Rico be presented to the Government. . A resolution condemning the recent re ported utterances of President Eliot, of Harvard College, in favor, of "scab" workingmen, was reported upon favorably by the committee, and Its aqtion was in dorsed by the convention. The first para graph of the resolution, as originally In troduced, commenced: "Whereas, The head of the foremost. American university. President Charles "W. Eliot, of Harvard," etc. Secretary Agard, of the resolutions com mittee, called attention to the words, "the foremost," saying that the committee had changed the words to "a prominent," as the members of the resolutions committee did not believe that an Institution which would retain at Its head a man capable of such expressions as those represented to have been uttered by President Eliot could by any possibility be the foremost univer sity of the country. Joseph P. Allen, of Chicago, desired that the words be changed to. the "head of one of the degenerate universities." Delegate LIghthall. of Chicago, declared that Pres ident Harper, of Chicago University, and John D. Rockefeller, the founder of the institution, were both opposed to the union movement, and that they were trying to secure control of the public schools in that city, and that the laboring men were endeavoring to counteract the movement by organizing the teachers into unions. The resolutions as amended by the reso lutions committee were passed -unanimously. No second was made to the motion of Delegate Allen. Pay for Government "Work. . The McComas bill, now pending before the United States Senate providing for in creased pa for all overtime on Govern ment works, was indorsed by the commit tee and by the convention. The executive council recommended that the application of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners for the revoca tion of the charter of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters be denied, as the charges had not been substantiated. A long debate followed, and was still In progress when the convention adjourned. At the afternoon session, after a long de bate. Delegate Max Hayes moved as. a substitute that the entire matter be re ferred to a committee of 11, five from each organization, and an umpire. This motion was adopted. The application of the United Brother hood of Carpenters and Joiners for the revocation of the charter of the Amalga mated "Woodworkers was then taken up. The fight was on grounds similar to those in the dispute between the United Broth erhood and the Amalgamated Carpenters. The matter was laid over until tomorrow. During the afternoon Mayor Schmltz. of. San FrarfcIsco addressed the convention. A contest between delorates of the In ternational Typographical Union and dele gates of the Allied Trades over the owner ship of the Allied Printing Trades label has been withdrawn from the convention. All parties have agreed to a Joint meeting of three delegates from each body, to be held In January, at which an agreement will be formed, the basis of which will be representation in accordance with numer ical strength in the local allied, printing trades councils and the formation of a su preme council, composed of two repre sentatives of the International Typograph ical Union and one each from the Print ing Pressmen's National Union and the Bookbinders' National Union, to which all local unions can appeal, and whoso de cision is to be final. SCHOOLTEACHERS' UNION. New York Organizations to Affiliate "With American Federation. NEW YORK. Nov. '13. School teachers of Hoboken will In all probability take steps within a few weeks to make appli cation for admittance into the American Federation of Labor. The plan Is being backed by a number of the most promi nent members of the Teachers' Mutual Aid Association and the Principals' As sociation, which embrace almost all of the 200 teachers and principals in the City of Hoboken. Infamy's Snccess. ' Army and Navy Journal. The Tacon Theater in Havana, one of the largest and most famous in the "West-H ern Hemisphere, was built by an old rep robate, Marti, who was a notorious pirate in his day, and obtained immunity for himself by betraying his comrades into the hands of the Spanish authorities. One dark and rainy day Marti rushed by the eentry guarding the palace In Havana and V entered the aoartmants or the Captain- General, who was writing at a table.. "When the Captain-General, raised his eyes, and saw the cloaked figure before ; him he reached for the bell. "Stop, your excellency!" cried the stranger. "I am here on a desperate en terprise. I have come to deliver Into your hands every pirate on the Cuban coast upon one condition a pardon, for myself." "You shall have It," was the answer. "But who are you?" "I am Marti, and I rely upon the prom ise you have given me." Preparatory to this Interview Marti had appointed a rendezvous for the dif ferent bands, to which he conducted the Spanish force, and every pirate was captured and righteously garroted. As for Marti, he was not only pardoned, but was given a monopoly of the sale of fish in Havana, which made him a rich and thus' eminently respected citizen, who ended his days in the odor of sanctity.

Rear-Admiral "Winfield Scott Schley was the guest of honor tonight at the annual banquet of the Commercial Club, held in commemo ration of the signing of the John Jay treaty.

CURB HAS BEEN APPLIED Beginning: in Legislative Economy "Was Made Last Session. EUGENE, Or., Nov. 14. (To the Edi tor.) In your issue of November 12 you say: "if the .Legislature would put a curb on the quantity of printing ordered by Itself and the state officers, there would be less to complain about In the exorbitant charges of the Printer." In the same paper Governor Geer says, speaking of his recommendations to the last Legislature for reduction of expend! tures in the State Printer's office: "Like many other good recommendations made, this one was overlooked or neglected. The Legislature of Oregon has been guilty of many sins, both of commission and omission, but this Is not the first In stance where It has done Its duty and failed to receive credit for it The last Legislature did precisely what The Oregonlan recommends in the above quotation. Senate bill No. 179, which be came a law, limits the number of all re ports and publications ordered by law, cuts off from publication reports of the agricultural societies entirely, reduces the number of copies printed of Supreme Court reports from S00 to (00, reduces the number of copies of session laws from 2000 to 1500, and provides that all special laws that is, city charter and Incorpora tion laws and the like be excluded- from that volume. The best information obtainable at this date indicates that this law will effect a saving of many thousands of dollars dur ing each biennial "period. The writer was long since convinced that neither constitutional amendment nor flat salary for the Printer Is necessary to correct abuses In the State Printer's of flee. Th.e thing needed is and has been practical business methods applied to state printing. The abuses have largely consisted of two things "fatting up" the work by the Printer and ordering or allowing done vast quantities of unnecessary printing by the legislature, state officers or boards. The first of these abuses has been largely overcome by agreement between the Sec retary of State and the State Printer. This good work of the Secretary ought to be clinched by a law defining how work In the State Printer s office shall be snr. perhaps adopting certain reports, forms, etc., as stanaaras. It was to overcome this second abuse that I Introduced Senate bill No. 179 at the session of 1901. As the constitution sim ply provides that the. "rates to be paid for printing shall neither be Increased nor di minished during the term for which he shall have been elected," the above law became effective at once, and any simi lar law that may be necessary to further regulate the office will apply to the Print er then in power. "W. KUYKENDALL. Clianpre in Mall for Philippines. "WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. The Postmas ter-General has amended the order of March 30. 1901, so that hereafter gifts or souvenirs of a dutiable character ad dressed to people in the military and naval service, etc., In the Philippines can not be admitted Into the malls for those Islands without paying the usual duty thereon. Similar articles, however, ad dressed under similar circumstances from the Philippines, will continue to fe ad mitted to the malls, whether dutiable or nof BASEBALL PEACE AGAIN AMERICAN ASSOCIATION COMES INTO MINOR LEAGUE. At Milvraukee and Kansas City, How ever, They Will Maintain Separate Grounds Players Go Back. CHICAGO, Nov. 19. A peace pact was arranged late this afternoon between the warring baseball clubs through the efforts of the arbitration board of the National Association of Minor Leagues. By the terms of the truce the fight between the two clubs is confined to the two cities, Milwaukee and Kansas City, where there have been conflicts, each club to play on its own grounds in those cities. The American Association, which has been an outlaw, comes into the National Association. The players that were signed prior to the New York meeting by the American Association are retained by them, but players signed In the last two weeks go back to the clubs to which they formerly belonged. TO LEAVE FOR EUGENE. Pacific Will Line Up Against Oregon Friday. PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, Forest Grove, Nov. 19. (Special.) The football team leaves "tomorrow morning for Eugene, where they will meet the Uni versity of Oregon eleven Friday. The team is not at all confident of vic tory, but the rooters believe that the team is capable of a fast, shifty style of play, which, if fortune favoce, might land the pigskin Behind the Oregon goal. There William D. Murphy, 1003. has been some good practice this week, attention being especially given to defense. The lack of aggressiveness and speed which has characterized the playing here tofore Is disappearing, and team work is much more apparent. The line-up will be slightly different from that of the last few games. Yoder will play center, Smith and James guards, Baker and Philbrook tackles, Fletcher and Dye ends, Barnet and Mlllis halves, Gll- "bert quarter and Day fullback. Everson and Margraff, who have played all sea son, will be taken along, and will prob ably play part of the game. That the odds are against Pacific is ap parent from the fact that the average weight Is only 147 pounds, while, the Eu gene men weigh 158. However, Pacific has been up against, heavier teams all season, and had about this weight to con tend with in the Pullman game, where they easily won over weight by vim and team work. That the University of Ore gon has a team that outranks Pullman is not admitted by any one, and If earlier games are anything to judge by, Pacific University has a good fighting chance to win. The men are in good physical condition, with the exception of Barnet and Day. who are just recovering from broken ribs, and Fletcher, who has a bad muscle bruise on his leg. Gilbert, at quar ter, is handicapped by a badly sprained thumb. ALBANY DEFEATS ASHLAND. College Eleven Easily Runs Up Score of 30 to O. ALBANY, Nov. 19. (Special.) In the football game here today between the Albany College and Ashland Normal School teams, the former won by a score of 30 to 0. The game belonged to the home team from the start, the only ques tion being the size of the score. Three touchdowns and goals were made in the first half, and two In the second. The Ashland team played gritty ball, and would occasionally buck Albany's line for yardage, but they could not stop the flrce plunges of the Albany backs, nor prevent them from skirting the ends. " The most sensational play of the game was when Halfback Coats, of the Albany team, ,carrled the ball from Albany's 40-. yard line for a touchdown, a run of 70 yards through a scattered field of men. Morrison punted In good form, and kicked every goal. Coach Scott, of the visiting team, played a strong game at quarter back and tackled hard. Play was stop ped in the second half eight minutes bo fore time was up because of injuries to some of the Ashland team. Manager Redmond speaks highly of the treatment received while In Albany, and Is well satisfied with the game. Umpire, C. A. Redmond; referee, "W. Lair Thomp son. Time of halves, 25 and 20 minutes. EUGENE VS. PACIFIC FRIDAY, o University Eleven Not In Best Con dition for the Game. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Nov. 17. (Special.) On Friday afternoon the 'varsity football eleven will meet the team of Pacific University' on Klncald Field. Last year the Eugene team met the Pacific team at Forest Grove the Sat urday after Thanksgiving, winning over them with a, score of 10 to 0. The Pacific team Is stronger this year than. last, and Is coming with the intention of holding down the Oregon team. If the present weather continues the field will be In superb condition for the fray, although at present the ground is a mass of mud. The university players have recovered from their soreness from last Saturday's game, with the exception of Payne and Templeton. Fullback Tem pleton has a bad knee, which he hurt In the Corvallls game, and again In the Al bany game, and It is likely he will not enter the game. Payne has a lame back, but unless something serious sets in he will play the fullback position, and either Hall or Starr will take Payne's position at right half. Pavne's natural place Is at fullback, ' and it Is in this position" that he made his record in 1900, when he out punted Smith and Overall in the victory over the University of California. The management is making much effort to get the team In the best shape possible for the remaining games of the season. Besides NCoach Dolph and Assistant Zleg lcr. "Bernard C. Jakway, '01. who was for merly a star left tackle on the 'varsity, is on the field each afternoon, aiding in the coaching. The second team of the university will play the Eugene High School team Satur day, November 22. The High School team played the Ashland Normal teahi on last Saturday, and won by a score of- 24 to 0. The University of Oregon second team played the Ashland lads a tie game. ALBANY REFUSES CONDITIONS. WiU Not Play Corvallls Unless Game Is on "Home Ground. ALBANY, Or.. Nov. 19. (Special.) Man ager James Thomson, of the Albany Col lege football team, has received from Manager Johnson, .of the Oregon Agri cultural College eleven, the challenge which appeared in today's Oregonlan. When asked what he would do with It Mr. Thomson said Albany would not play under the conditions named by. the far mers, although he would like very much to arrange a game with them if suitable conditions could b3 agreed upon. The officials named are entirely satisfactory to the Albany boys, but they refuse to play the came in Salem, and under the con ditions mentioned. Manager Thomson said the Albany College teams went to Corvallls last season for all the dual meets of whatever nature between the two schools, and it was naturally understood that the Oregon Agricultural College boys would come to Albany this season. Now that It looks like a very close contest, Mr. Thomson says the Albany boys are not willing to give up" their rights in the manner proposed by Manager Johnson, of the Oregon Agricultural College team. Al- OREGON'S CLEVER 'QUARTERBACK. UNIVERSITY OP OREGON, Nor. 10. (Special.) William D.

Trade on a Broader Basis Than Ever Before. LONDON, Nov. 19. A representative of the Associated Press has made an Inves tigation Into the whole subject of Ameri can fruit shipments to Great Britain, and the result shows that the trade is on a broader bass this year than it has ever been before. The largest handlers of Cal ifornia fruits say that the season for Im ported fruits, which ls now practically over, save for a few late shipments of Paris apples, has on the whole been de cidedly successful. The American grow ers have been experimenting this year with all sorts of fruits.' and with the various methods of packing and refrig erating". "We have found," said the representa tives of several importing firms, "that the temperature has been kept right on the slower steamer lines, which have shown themselves just as capable of handling fruit as the ocean greyhounds.

WORK OF LIFE SAVERS SUPERINTENDENT MAKES GRATI FYING; REP.ORT OF SERVICE. - Many Disasters During; Year, hut Loss of Life Is Small Vast' Amount of "Property Saved. WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The general nenna?i.oC the "Ravine 5er?!co has rendered his report for the year 1902. It continues to show most gratifying re sults of the work of this humane organ ization. The number of disasters to ves sels within the scope of the operations of the service during the year was greater than ever before, with the exception of the years 1S9S and 1901; yet the loss of life was very small. The number of lives lost from documented vessels those of five tons' burden or over-was only 19, while six were lost from smaller craft saif boats, rowboats, etc. making a total of 25 a number.far below the average. The amount of property imperilled was greatly Jn excess of that of. any previous year In the history of the service, owing to the unusual number of large vessels Involved.

CLAIMS UNIQUE RECORD George Burns Believes He Is Most Pntehed-Up Man In the World. Cleveland Plain Dealer. The man who claims to be the most patched-up person in the world is in Cleveland searching for his long-lost brother. Georg Burns Is his naftie, and, according to his stpry, he Is a walking testimonial to the ability of the modern surgeon to patch up the human frame. The catalogue of Burns'" afflictions and physical disabilities reads like a list of the casualties in a mine disaster or a subway explosion. Burns says that the entire top of his skull Is gone, being replaced by a sliver plate which is attached to his right jaw; five ribs on the left side have been re moved, forcing his heart to the right 'side of his anatomy; a portion of hl3 right hip is missing; one of his legs has been fractured In three places, the other In two; his elbow joints are a thing of mem ory; he is blind in one eye; one of his kneecaps Is situated midway down his shin, and in all 37 pieces of bone have been removed from his body. Burns says that at one time he was thought to have passed to the great beyond. The shroud had been prepared, the coffin was ready, when the supposed dead man rose to pro test against the funeral rites. The much-disabled man was. born In Troy, N. Y., 73 years ago. He claims to be a veteran of the Mexican and a sur vivor of the Civil Wars. He Joined the Navy schoolshlp Hartford shortly before the outbreak of the latter conflict. He served under Farragut. and, while on an expedition along the Mississippi River, he was struck by a shell and the entire upper portion of his skull was shot off. For weeks he hovered between life and death, after having submitted to an op eration Involving the insertion of a large silver plate In his skull. After the Civil War Burns says he served on the Jeanette during the Greely expedition. On his return he was" caught In machinery while serving as an engin eer In a plant at Charleston. S. C. Ac cording to Burns' statement he was hurled around the factory for some min utes. He was crushed beyond recognition, and when rescued was pronounced dead. He was borne tenderly to the morgue and laid away on ice. He there regained consciousness and Informed the attend ants that he was still to be numbered among the living. Since that accident Burns says he has spent a major portion of his time In the hospitals. Five years ago, he declares, the doctors and experts of Bellevue Hos pital, New York, gave 'him up. He, is go ing about the country looking for his brother, who has been missing for many years. Wu Ting Fnng Coming West. CHICAGO, Nov. 19. Wu Ting Fang, the retiring Chinese Minister, passed through Chicago tonight on his way to. San Fran cisco, where he will take passage for home on the steamer Hong Kong Maru. He said: "Such reports as those that have been printed here today, to the effect that my government Is planning to drive all for eigners out pf China, make me 111. They are not true. The reports were based on the simple fact that the Imperial govern ment Is taking account of firearms and munitions of war. The United States and all other big countries are doing this same thing constantly, and no comment is ex cited thereby. Why should similar acts'by Chlpa cause such reports to be circulated? The Imperial government will keep faith with the powers In all that It has prom ised to do." Perfume a Medicine. Woman's Home Companion.
