" FIGHT WILL GO ON
Labor Federation After Un
friendly Congressmen.
HAS WON MORAL VICTORY
Exults In Reduction of Iiittlefleld's
Majority and Will Raise Funds
and Publish Campaign Text
book Against Others.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18. The executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor today adopted the report of the
labor representation committee regarding
Ita participation in the political campaign,
and In that connection adopted a resolu
tion advising the committee to continue
its campaign for the attainment ' of the
largest degree of success In the Interest
of the protection and promotion of the
rights and liberty of working people and
the people generally.
The report of the committee refers to
the participation of the committee In the
campaign against the re-election of Con
gressman Llttlefleld, of Maine, and says:
It Is tru Chat Mr. Llttlefleld "nas been re
elected, but by so small a majority as com
pared to his previous election that It has
Indeed been a great moral victory and one
which has much significance, not only In the
cojnlnic election but on the standing of the
Congressman Vi the future. At a former
election Mr. Llttlefleld "Tan Immensely
ahead of the other Representatives In Con
gress of the state and also ahead of his
state ticket. Our fellow-workers in Maine
faithfully carried on the campaign as out
lined by the executive council.
The Federation has Issued a textbook
for the general campaign and the report
recommends authority for another appeal
for funds for carrying on the campaign.
The report continues:
We recommend that representatives ot
affiliated organizations give their active co
operation in the coming campaign and com
plete plans to deliver addresses and partici
pate in contests to carry out labor's plan of
campaign.
HAS OXLY BEGUN CAMPAIGN
Gompcrs Says Labor Federation
Only Seeks Equal Rights.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 18. "That battle
in Maine, though closed at this time in
the second district. Is not at an end.
The contest was merely incidental to the
tusk which labor has set Itself to accom
plish," said President Samuel Gompers,
of the American Federation of Labor, last
night at Typographical Temple, where a
reception was given in honor of the labor
leaders, who fought against Representa
tive Littlefleld's re-election In Maine.
"Not only ' Mr. Llttlefleld but 'Uncle
Joe' dared to reiterate that we stand
for the licensing of criminal and unlawful
conduct. We ask for equal rights , before
the law, as any other citizens. I have not
in mind to say a word In criticism of the
President, other than this: The right of
petition is the right of the American citi
zen guaranteed by the Constitution, and
neither the President nor Congress can
take that right away from him. Labor is
the only power in human society that
represents the masses.
"Why did we begin the fight in Little
fleld's district? Because the election was
held there two months earlier than in the
other states. If we had passed over this
district, they would have said we were
afraid. We were not afraid. We con
ducted a clean fight, and used no argu
ments or language that might not have
been repeated- in polite society. The la
boring people have outgrown the stooped
back and receding forehead of "The Man
With the Hoe.' They now stand erect.
They are now waging a right against cap
ital and the white plague. By securing
better hours and higher wages, they will
find better cond-tlons into which tuber
culosis cannot enter."

LEAPED AND SAVED HIS LIFE
Traveling Man Gives Thrilling Story
of Narrow Escape.
GUTHRIE. Okla.. Sept. 18. L. H.
Coy, a travelngr man, whose home is
in Kansas City, had a narrow escape
in the wreck, being a passenger in
the day coach. He arrived in Guthrie
over the Rock Island at 4 o'clock this
afternoon. He said:
"When I left the scene of the
disaster in the morning, all but about
25 of the passengers had been account
ed for. I was seated near the back
of the day coach when the engineer
threw on the brakes and sounded the
alarm. I Jumped for the door and
through the swaying of the car my
liand was smashed between the doors.
N'o bones were broken, but the injury
Is very painful. I did not know that
the cars were going onto a bridge
until 1 reached the back platform.
"When I felt the day coach going
down I jumped, and landed on the
short piece of bridge which did not
go out, at the south end. The chair
car came up within three feet of me
before It stopped, and all that saved
my life was the fact that the engineer
threw on the air-brakes before he
Jumped. The drag of the heavy Pull
mans caused the train to break in two,
and it parted between the chair car
and the day coach on which I rode.
"When the engine plunged into the
stream, it went clear out of sight. The
mall car stopped not far from where It
went down. The smoker went down
stream, heading for the middle, and
it was there that the great loss of life
occurred, if anywhere. The day coach
on which I had been riding started
down-stream, but swung Into the
bank.
"My hand was hurting me and I was
trembling so that I busied myself with
it The sight was. a terrible . one.
"When I walked down to the day coach
most of the people had been taken
out. From bruises and the contact
with the water, many people appeared
as though dead when taken out, but
they soon revived." Nearly everyone
had scratches and bruises, but few
were seriously hurt.
."I understand there were about 25
people in the smoker. When I left
about 10 o'clock, only seven had been
accounted for. Three swam out when
the car went down, and four others
reached the top of, the car, afterward
going off on brushwood.
"The wounded were taken to the
sleepers and then to Kingfisher, relief
trains arriving; quickly. The people
of King-fisher did noble work, and too
much praise cannot be given them.
The river was rising rapidly, and It is
a miracle that so few people were
killed.
"With me were an El Reno butcher
and his father. The son's name was
F. S. Brown.- I think both escaped.
ONLY TWO ARE STILL MISSING
Fireman Swims Ashor With Broken
Arm Officials to Rescue.

Porter Sinks In Deep Water.
GUTHRIE, Okla., Sept. 18. A special
from Hennessey, Okla., says:
All but one car of the train were lost.
Clyde Geist, of Dover, Okla., Is the only
person known to have escaped from the
cars that went into the river. He says:
"We were running very slowly and care
fully when, we could feel the track giving
away and heard the engineer whistle for
emergency brakes. I started for the door
with the porter, and Just as we got out
side of the door of the car I felt the
track give entirely away and we fell Into
river. The porter and I managed to es
cape on top of the smoking-car and
floated down stream several hundred
yards, when the waves and driftwood dis
lodged us . and we were cast out into
the main current. In the meantime, I
had taken off my clothes and that aided
me much in getting ashore. The porter
went down a few minutes after being dls-'
lodged. I Immediately started for the
railroad station, where I notified the
agent." -
Only Nine In Wrecked Smoker.
TOPEKA, Kan., Sept. 18. There were
only nine passengers In the smoker at
the time of the wreck. Of these, all but
three have been accounted for. William
Douglas, the negro porter, is still miss
ing. '

STORM
ARSES
Santo Domingo Again Has
Revolutionary Fever.
THINKS UNCLE SAM BUSY
Southerland Asks to ' Have Naval
Force Sent From Cuba to Squelch
Disturbers Have Both Re
volts Same Backers?
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18. (Special.)
Just as the Cuban insurrection appears
to be on the point of harmonious ad
justment, the United States Government
Is confronted with a new outbreak in
Santo Domingo. Commander Souther
land, senior American naval officer in
Dominican waters, reported to the Navy
Department by cable late this afternoon
that an insurrection is about to break
out in Banto Domingo at any time. He
says that the government has sent a
force of 400 men to Monte Christo.
The situation is declared to be acute.
He fears that an uprising may take
place. He requests that the Dixie, which
is now in Cuban waters, be returned at
once to Santo Domingo.
When the advisability of withdrawing
the naval rces from Dominican waters
was discussed when the crisis came in
the Cuban revolt, a suggestion was made
that it might give encouragement to the
insurgents in that island. It was finally
decided, however, that the Dominican
Government had matters well In hand
and that no change was to be appre
hended with the present fleet of gunboats
in those waters.
The official belief is that the agency
that has been back of the Cuban incur
rection may be responsible for the threat
ened uprising in Santo Domingo, or that
the . insurgents, not understanding the
completeness of the preparation by the
United States to move an enormous fleet
to land an army on Cuban soil, imagine
that a revolt can be successfully con
ducted under cover of the Cuban opera
tions. .'.'.'
The Navy Department will at once or
der a proper naval strength to Santo
Domingo." The temper of the Govern
ment will not brook any uprising in or
about Cuba just at present.
GUM THEI DID MURDER
HOLY ROLLER WOMEN TESTIFY
BEFORE INSANITY EXPERTS.
Esther Mitchell Declares She Made
Statements 'at Triad to Incite
Her Destruction by Mob.
SEATTLE. Sept. 18. Early this after
noon the commission named by Judge
Frater to examine into ' the sanity' of
Esther Mitchell and Maud Creffield, held
on charges of murdering George Mitchell,
heard the last of the testimony to be
introduced and within a few days will
make their report to the court.
The two women prisoners were the last
to be heard and their testimony, while
different from any they have previously
given, was very much alike. ' Statements
were made by the women to the effect
that they are glad they did the deed,
would do the same thing again if the
same circumstances presented themselves,
are not afraid to die for the act, and
would welcome death in any form. They
also said that they have considered
taking their own lives and would do so
if called upon by God to take that step.
In this connection the women said they
would kill any one If God told them to do
so. 'iney declared Creffield had said on
the night before his death that he was
soon to be taken away and that after
George Mitchell had done the shooting
they at once began to mature plans for
his death. If he should escape the justice
of the courts. The testimony was to the
effect that Mrs. Creffield was -first called
to do the killing, but that afterwards it
devolved upon Esther. "
The women denied statements made by
them at the time of the trial, regarding
the motives for the act, and said they
had planned to make these' statements
beforehand in order to hide the real
motive, and so protect their religion from
the scoff of the people. Esther stated
that in makine the statement she had ex
pected it would provoke a mob violence
and that she had desired to die in that
manner. She stated that Creffield was
to have been instrumental in bringing
about the restoration, and that inasmuch
as this .was his mission Mitchell com
mitted a deed for which he must atone
by death. In speaking of the possible
consequences of the deed Esther Mitchell
said:
"I wanted to see my brother punished
for shooting Creffield. When I was told
it was my duty to kill him I was glad.
It was not hard to do, for I was given
strength.- When we planned to shoot
George we made all the preparations be
forehand. We did not plan to escape
afterwards, for we did not want to get
away. I am not Insane and never have
been."
Tomorrow morning the commission will
meet with Judre Frater, for the purpose
of considering- the manner of making the
report. If it is desired to have the entire
proceedings included in the report the
commission will not be able to give Its
findings for some days, as it will require
some time to transcribe the testimony.

BARNES HANGED AT SALEM
CREMATED VICTIM AFTER MUR
DER IN DOUGLAS COUNTY.
While on the Scaffold He Requests
Someone to Sing a Hymn, but
Gets No Response.
SALEM, Or., Sept. 18. (Special.)
"Gentlemen, this Is no execution; it is
murder; nothing more,' nothing less." la
the substance of the last words of John
C. Barnes, who was hanged at the peni
tentiary at noon today for the murder
of William Graham, in Douglas County,
in April, 1905.
About 40 persons witnessed the execu
tion, which took place in the state ex
ecution (chamber at the prison. Barnes
conducted himself very coolly. He
waived the reading of the death war
rant, r
When he arrived upon the scaffold. and
was asked if he had anything to say,
Barnes stepped forward to the front and
began a hurried and uneasy search of
the faces of the audience beneath him.
as if looking for somebody he knew,
and. seemingly disappointed, he began to
epeak. In a voice that trembled with the
emotions he was struggling so hard to
conceal he spoke a few words. -A
he stenned back toward the trap
Barnes motioned for a green book
which Warden Curtis was carrying for
him and .opened it. It proved to be a
copy of the Gospel Hymns and he
onened it and handed it oacK to tne
warden with the request that somebody
sing the song for him. Warden Curtis
called for volunteers, but nobody ven
tured forward. Barnes smilingly
waived the ceremony and stepped back
to his position on the trap saying ne
was ready.
No time was lost in adjusting tne
rlonth mask strans and noose and the
only words that were spoken to the of
ficers during the interlude were: uon t
be in a hurry, boyaj take It cool."
Scarcely a moment after this the trap
was sprung.
John C. Barnes was hanged for tho
murder of William Graham, a prospector,
who was working a claim in Douglas
County, near Glendale. Graham was sup
posed to have accumulated quite a sum
and Barnes is supposed to have killed
him to get his hoard and his claim. A
nugget and ring belonging to Graham
were found in Barnes' possession.
Barnes had been heard to utter a threat
against Grauam by two boys, who were
at the former's cabin one day before the
murder, and on the morning of Graham's
disappearance, Barnes took his rifle and
started out in the direction of Graham's
cabin. The evidence introduced at the
trial tended to' show that Barnes either
met or waylaid Graham on the Southern
Pacific Railroad track, about a mile and
a half from Glendale and five miles from
his cabin, where he shot him, dragged
the body Just outside the right-of-way,
dumped It among a pile of logs and set
fire to them burning the remains to
ashes, but overlooking his victim's hat.
Barnes had a criminal record. He was
pardoned from the penitentiary by Gov
ernor Pennoyer while serving a 20-year
sentence for criminal assault on his 13-year-old
half-sister.

afralnst them arising; from the earthquake and fire of April ISth, and on
policies amounting to2,208,064.50 have paid 2.O70,08f.37, showing a dis
count for salvages, payment in advance of maturity, compromise of doubt
ful claims, and all other causes, amounting to only si per cent, leavlnsr an
averatre paid under each policy of 94 per cent.
These figures are sufficient refutation of the statements which have ap
peared in some papers that the National and Colonial are not paying .
dollar for dollar, the same as the other leading foreign and American
companies, and we invite comparison with the figures of any other com
pany. The National after reserving $2,700,000 for Its unpaid losses, "nad a
