Y., N fight against the administration of President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor is to be taken up next wee {by socialist delegates to the conven- tion in this city. The delegates of the radical wing number 34, according to J. Mahlon Barnes, of Philadelphia, national cam- paign manager of the socialist party and a delegate to the convention from the Cigar Makers' International union, who. will lead the fight. This group constitutes less than one fourth of the deiegates but the socialists claim that many will come under their banner when the fight opens. The first ski mish in the battle is >xpected to take place when the committee on resolu- tions brings in its report on the reso- lution of delegate Duncan of the | United Mine Workers, which provides for the election of officers of the fed- eration by a referendum of its two million members. The Atlanta con- ventlon of the federation adopted a resolution favoring this method of election provided it was found upon investigation by officers to be practi- cai. The report of the executive coun- cil, given earlier this week, contained Fifty-two national and _international unions affiiliated with the federation Fad declared against the proposal and twenty-three unions had favored it. Bocialists assert that officers of the federation, including President Gom- pers ,are opposed to election by refe endum and that if the plan is adopzed the defeat of President Gompers and his associates on the executive coun- cll is certatn.

Time Enough When Terms of Agree- ment Are Known, Bays MacLecd, Boston, Nov. 15—No immediate in- vestigation of the relations between the Grand Trunk and the New York, New Haven and Hartford raliroads by the state rallroad commission is called for, in_the opinion of Chairman Fred- erick J.

CORROBORATES STORY Testimony Tends to Support Claims of Defendants—Witness for State De- nies Presence of the Informers. New York, Noy. 15.—The case for the defense in the trial of the four gunmen accused of killing the gambler, Herman Rosenthal, was completed to- day. Nearly a dozen witnesses gave testimony in_support of the gunmen's claim that the two Informers, Harry Vallon and “Bridgie” Webber, and &n unidentified stranger had fired _the fatal shots at the gambler, that three of the defendants, “Gyp the Blood,” “Lefty Louie” and Whitey Lewis, were on the scene only as innocent specta- tors, and that the fourth, “Dago Frank,” was not there at all. “Dago Frank's” Alibi. “Dago Frank,” a diamond pin flash- ing from his tie, a gold watch chain dangling from a waistcoat of the latest cut, told on the stand as the first wit- ness of the day the story that purport- ed to be his alibl on the night of the murder. He left “Gyp,” “Lefty” and “Whitey” at “Bridgie” Webber's poker rooms just after the mysterious stranger had invited them all to go to the Hotel Metropole, where Rosenthal was slain, to see Jack Rose, he said.

ARMISTICE INDICATED Cholera Epidemic and Famine Condi- tions Likely to Influence Bulgaria— The Fall of Adrianople is Reported. London, Nov. 15.—The censorship permftting of no news to come from the front, the situation at the scene of the fighting in the Balkans is tonight more perplexing than ever. Varlous reports have drifted in, however, among them that Adrianopls had fallen, that ‘the Bulgarians had captured Hademkeui, the headqua ters of the Turkish commander-in- chief; that Nazim Pasha, the Turkish generalisslmo, had capitulated, and that the Bulgarians, ether by sea or land, had reached the vicinity of Ki. lios, on the Black Sea coast, a short distance from Constantinople. These reports are still without confirma- tion. Bulgarians Have No Easy Task. A vague despatch is published at Sofit stating that six forts along the Tchatalja line have been captured after what are described as heavy sacrifices on the part of the Bulgarians. All the reports previously published through the Vienna Reichspost or em- anating from other sources go to show that the Bulgarians are having no easy task Nothing is known as to Advertising a Guide To Buyers The man who thinks he need not advertise is the mane who is fooling himself in the belief that he is getting out of his business all its possibilities, This is the identical situation with more, If he had more trade than ‘he or his force of em- ployes was able to take care of, he would consider him to increase his help in order to hold every customer. not hesitate a moment in that regard. that the extra business would take it advisable for He would He would realize at once care of the additional expense, the advertising proposition, and The newspaper advertisement makes a dealer's goods desired.

When he got there he found that she had been arrested and he went to the police station to ball her out. It was not until then that he heard of the murder of Her- man Rosenthal, Newswoman Testifies. Then followed testimony from the lips of an old woman which corrob- orated the stories told yesterday py the other three defendants that Webber and Vallon were the real gunmen in the case. The witness was Mary Ellen Kydd, who was selling newspapers near the Metropole on the morning ot the murder, and who swore that she saw four men fitting the description of Jack Rose, Sam Schepps, Webber and Vallon in' a group near the hotel, and that the shots fired came from that group. Bhe did not see the four defendants there at all, she sald.

Stanich, eyewitness for the state, was ocalled in rebuttal before court adjourned, and while he was on the stand Ross, Webber, Vallon and Schepps were brought inte the court- room and lined up against the rail in front of which the gunmen were sit- ting. Stanich swore that he had not seen them at the Metropole. Informers Will Rebut Testimony. The gunmen turned in their seats and the sneers and savage glares that Dassed between the two quartettes Who faced each other in one room for the first time since their arrest excited the kecn iInterest of the spectators. The informers will be called in rebuttal by the state tomorrow. It was upon the understanding that they fired no shots at Rosenthal that they were given im- munity from prosecution. It is expected that the case will be in the hands of the jury by Tuesday. Workmen Buried in Ruins.

The Brit ish government has received no news from ths seat of war for some days. Cholera Raging. What is-perhaps of graver import than the prBigress of the hostilitles in southeastern Europe, however, is the revelation of the tremendous ravages cholera is making, not only among the destitute refugees who are arriving dally in thousands at Constantinople, | but among the Turkish troops on tho Tchatalja lines. It is supposed thit this danger well might suffice to give the Bulgarian commanders a pause and induce the Bulgarian government to arrange an armistice and negotiatc peace, since all the practical objects for which the war was undertaken have heen secured, and therefore it useless to run the fear of an epidemic of cholera to secure a seaport. Indications of an Armistice. A Constantinople despatch to the Cologne Gazette declares that Bulgaria has abandoned her intentions to enter Constantinople, belng thus advised by Russia and Great Britain. Altogether, ready has besen arranged has not been confirmed, all indications point in thet direction, and it may be supposed that the terrible conditions of famine and destitution prevailing among the refu geos in the neighborhood of Constanti- nople, which are caleulated to provide 2 hotbed for the spread of cholera,mey havp had something to do with Bulga- ria's deociston. Allies’ Boldiers Plundering. From othet. points at the seat o war comes news of the occupation of the peninsula of Mount Athos by the Greeks, and the march of the Greck army from Salontki to join i the Ser- vinn sttack on Monastir.
