I KEPT OFF RECORD Federation Paper Blank on Danbury Hatters' Case. MATTER JUST MENTIONED official Publication lias Little to Str Regarding Discussions on Subject Contest Over Seating Delegates. PENVKR. Nov. IT. Yesterday's dis cussion of the Danbury hatters case and the working: of "government by In junction." and the political speeches which followed in the convention of ,the American Federation of Labor, were "not made matters of record 4n the offi cial report of the proceedings of the convention. The official publication to ils v contained only the following brief mention of these discussions: -Subject Passed Over. "A discussion of the Danbury hatters' case and of the working- of -government by injunction" generally was entered Into. Tills was followed by a discus sion of how these could be remedied by political action. Those taking part In the discussion were President Gom pers. Delegates MoCullough, (Sullivan, Hayes (Max S.). Grout, Gallagher, Kuruseth and Walker." A major portion of the single session beld today was devoted to the contro versy In the Electrical Workers- Union. The discussion was acrimonious and at times personalities were Indulged In. The matter came up on the report of a special committee which has been con sidering the credentials of delegates from the contending factions. The com mittee recommended the seating of F. J. McNuity. P. W. Collins and K. J. Fay. and refused the credentials for H. W. Potter. H. V. -Sherman and J. J. Reid. It recommended also that a special convention of the union be beld at St. I.ouis January 1. 1909. and urged the two factions to "get together." Agreed to Keslgn. After the discussion of the commit tee's report had lasted more than two hours. Messrs. Potter, Sherman and Reid. who are the officers of the seced ing faction of the union, agreed to re sign if the officers of the original union, Messrs. McKulty, Collins and Fay, also would resign, so that they could then meet In convention m St. Louis with a clear slate. The latter officers agreed to resign before the St. Louis conven tion, and the report of the special com mittee was then adopted. 159 to 22. After the convention adjourned the executive council met and voted to issue a charter to the Order of Hallway Clerks, This charter had been held up owing -to claims of Jurisdiction by the Freighthandlers' Union. The matter was adjudicated at the seslson of the convention today. GOMPERS CASE IS CLOSED Arguments During Day Bring In Name of President Roosevelt. WASHINGTON. Nov. 17. Arguments In the contempt case of the Buck Stove & Range Company against Samuel Gom pers. Frank Morrison and John Mitchell, of the American Federation of Labor, were concluded today. James M. Beck, of counsel for the stove company, made a strong plea for his clients. In which he closely dissected the injunction of the court against the defendants and sought to show that they had put them selves Into contempt by officially pub lishing the company on the "We Don't patronize" list. Mr. Beck referred to the cruelty and Indefensibility of the boyortt and said: "I have very high authority for say ing that In a very recent public state ment the President of the United States said that, of all forms of op pression which man had yet devised, the most cruel is the boycott." Mr. Ralston, for the defense, object ed, saying: "I certainly object to the President of the United States being brought into this discussion. We all have the high est possible respect for htm, but he cannot be quoted as an authority on matters of this kind." ' Judge Wright overruled the objec tion, saying: 'I suppose counsel In argument have the rtght to adopt the words of an other person to convey an Idea, if they see fit to do so." Mr. Beck thereupon continued his ar gument, and at Its close Justice Wright took the case under advise ment. A decision is not expected for several days. Denver Fifty Years Old. DENVER. Nov. 17.

JUDGE'S POSITION CLEAR President-Elect Accorded Tremen dous Ovation at Cincinnati When He Is Recognised In Box at Theater. CINCINNATI. O.. Nov. 17. President elect Taft left tonight for j-ot Springs. Va. "I have not seen a politician nor dis cussed any political question since com ing here." said Judge Taft today. "I think I have accomplished my purpose In coming here, which was a personal business matter in which there is . no public Interest, nor should there be." Bishop Oldham, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who haB spent sev eral years in the Philippines and came to this country to attend the recent missionary conference at St. Louis, had a long talk with Judge Taft today rel ative to Philippine matters. Incidental ly the bishop took occasion to express his hearty approval of the recently published letter written by Judge Taft to a St. Paul clergyman. In which he made clear his position relative to the Catholic Church. Judge Taft is planning a trip to Cuba early In February to witness the relin quishment of American authority and the inauguraton of the new Island gov ernment. President-elect Taft was given a cor dial reception at the Grand Opera House last night, when for the first time since his election he attended a theatrical performance, witnessing the Viennese opera, "A Waltx Dream" Mr. Taft occupied a box with Charles P. Taft and Miss Taft. but was not recog nized until the intermission between the first and second acts. A storm of ap plause then greeted hlm.and he ac knowledged It with a bow. The demonstration of the evening oc curred, however, at the conclusion of the second act. Immediately after the ap plause hsd died away after the climax, the orchestra struck up "The Star-Spangled Banner." and the entire audience from the boxes to the gallery rose and stood while the National antHtm was being played. Then a tumult of applause broke forth, amid a veritable tempest of waving handkerchiefs. Mr. Taft bowed his appreciation, and then left the box and the theater. BILLEK TO SUFFER DEATH Murderer of Entire Family to Pay Penally Next Month. CHICAGO, Nov. 17. Herman Billek, convicted of the murder of five members of the Vzral family, was sentenced by Judge Barnes today to be hanged on l.lecember 11. The fight of Billek and his friends for liberty, which carried the case before the United States Supreme Court, has attracted wide attention. Billek, a fortune-teller, whose income was derived from the ignorant and su perstitious, used arsenic in causing the death of the Vzrals. all of whose lives were Insured and which money Billek is said to have planned to secure. He was first sentenced on October 7, 1907, and since that time he has been reprieved four times. Blllek's last hope, a slender one In view of the previous attitude of Gov ernor Deneen. is that the death sentence may be commuted to one of life impris onment. ' FAILS TO SEE OLD JOHN D.
