CALLED BY DEATH @so et ete000 .o @rertrIeI ittt et e et ete et etotedeieg CLAIMED BY PNEUMOMNA EARLY YESTERDAV MORNING, ® AMES J. FLYN ex-County Clerk, ex-Assemblyman and a well known figure for twenty ars past in local politics, died early yesterday morn- 4 ing of pneumonia at the home of his parents at 3927 Twenty-fifth street. 3 Death came unexpectedly. Mr. Flynn was taken i1l on Saturday night last with a severe cold, which developed rapidly into pneumonla, although not of a serious type. On the night of his death he appeared to be resting easily up to within a few minutes of his demise, when he began to sink rap- idly and passed away without pain. All of the members of his family were at his bedside. Mr. Flynn began his political career in the late seventies. He was a stu- dent of Denis Kearney and rose rapidly in popular favor. It was he who saved Charles de Young from a possible lynching at the time of the Kalloch- De Young troubles in this city. In 1380 he occupied the post of chief deputy under Sheriff Desmond, and in 1852 was elected to the Assembly, in which body he served twq terms. In 585 he was elected County Clerk by a large majority over Louis N. Jacobs, and before the expiration of his term was be- ing prominently mentioned for Congress. At that time he was the protege of James V. Coleman and other millionaires of the day and was very popular. Since then he has acted as chief deputy under Assessor Nealon and as pur- chasing agent of the Board of Harbor Commissioners and has filled numer- ous other positions of trust with high credit Yo himself. Mr. Flynn leaves one daughter, his parents and five married sisters. He was a charter member of Stanferd Parlor, N. 8. G. W., and a member of the Iroquois Club and the Order of Eagles. > Getietetietotie NN NeNeNe RN RN RN RN NIRoNeReR» 4 B + b . & . & % 2 /3 @ . b @ . b 4 E'd [ T A R A o J V////{/ W 4 HE GHOsY thief well | Michalitschke's cigar store at 410 Market | | trom other ofiic: | DECEMBER 20, 1899, ESE GHOST etk i b/ i I'Z// - i w([ ,"/l//, L OFFICER.

DETROIT, Dec. 19.—The significant feae ture of the elghth day of the Federation of Labor Convention was a stand taken this afternoon in regard to all wars of conquest. The delegates, representative of probably 1,500,000 members of labor unions, voted unanimously that such wars, “whether waged In Africa, the Philippines or elsewhere greatly endanger the nquered peoples. Th laration closed with a reiferation timents previously adopted in anothe form, “that we are opposed to any in crease of the standing army of the United States beyond 25,000 officers and enlisted men.” The executive council of the Fed- eration was directed to use every means to carry out these sentime This and other n: brought up by the from the committe pers’ report.

An amendment to this portion of the report, adopted by the convention, called upon the trades-unions and workingmen gener- ally to study the d lopment of trusts and monopolies with a view to nationaliz- ing them. As to President Gompers’ ex- pressions upon “‘our new possessions and militarism,” the committee deplored “the ever-spreading encroachments being mads upon civil and religious liberties,” which it regarded “as a step backward In the ev lution of freedom, which s fraught with great danger.” The committee stated that where the Porto Ri ' ipinos are deprived of their right of self-government freedom is In great danger. Lovers of political and industrial liberty were urged to unite in defense of such fnallenable rights. The larations made by those in authority concerning forcible extension of territory for the alleged purpose of extending com- mercial Interests were stated to be only a means for subjugation of the inhabitants. The convention adopted unanimously the committee’s resolution declar such extensions. e The convention voted to raise the salar of the president from $1800 to $2100 and ot the secretary from $1500 to $1800, —_— Fraternal Elections.
