JURY WILL PASS TO-DAY ON GUILT ; - OR INNCCENGE OF STANTON'S SLAYER Several Prominent Citizens of Vallejo Testify to the Good Repfitation Borne by the Defendant, Who Claims That He Shot in Defense of His Own Life When He Slew the Man Who Boasted of Having Deceived His Sister Duweny's MoTHI Ao SISTERS i HE trial of James Dunphy of Val- lejo for the killing of Edward Stanton on the evening of Septem- ber 27, came to a close in Judge Cook’s court yesterday. The jury will be charged this morning by the court and the case submitted for a verdict. William Collins, who was ordered into court to explain why he failed to remem- ber whether he was ever convicted of the crime of kidnaping two girls, took the stand yesterday and admitted that he was convicted of the off2nse charged. He tes- tified that he disliked to make the admis- siun last Friday because he was loth to bave his past paraded before the public view. On his examination in behalf of the defendant he swore that he saw a pistol in Stanton’s possession. The prosecution sought to impeach Collins by showing 'to show that Dunphy’s reputation in and MRS. STANTON, WIDOW OF THE VICTIM OF DUNPHY'S VENGEANCE, TESTIFYING ON THE WITNESS STAND THAT HER HUSBAND NEVER CARRIED A REVOLVER, THREE MEMBERS OF THE DEFENDANT'S FAMILY AND THE MEN WHO WILL DECIDE HIS FATE. that he was convicted of a felony. A number of witnesses were introduced | about Vallejo for years past was good. Thcse who testified in his behalf were Frank R. Devlin, District Attorney of So- lano county, D. G. Halliday, County Clerk, W. T. Kelly, President of the Board of City Trustees, and John A. Brown, Jus- tice of the Peace. Testimony was then offered tending to show that Stanton had made a boast of the fact that he had deceived Kittle Dun- phy. R. D. Dunphy, father of the defend- &nt, testified that he told his son of the trouble that had come upon the family, and that he had expressed the opinion that Stanton was a scoundrel. Other testimony tended to show that Stanton expected u;ouble and that he was preparing for the storm. Mrs. Eva Stanton, widow of deceased, N robed in mourning, took the stand and testified positively that her husband never carried a revolver. She told of a conver- sation with Witness Collins, in which he informed her that he had said to Attor- ney J. J. Barrett, counsel for Dunphy, that he had never seen Stanton with a pistol. The evidence was important, in g‘ml it flatly contradicted Collins’ state- ent regarding Stanton’s alleged hablit of carrying weapons. The testimony in rebuttal was offered witli a view to showing that Stanton never carried a revolver. The question of bring- ing Kittie Dunphy into court was consid- ered. ‘She is at St. Mary’'s Hospital, and as it would be necessary to bring her into court upon a stretcher, Prosecuting Attorney Alford admitted all that she might testify to. The case was then ar- gved, and Judge Cook announced that he ‘would charge the jury this morning. NOTABLE REPRESENTATIVES OF CAPITAL AND LABOR ARE FOR INDUSTRIAL PEACE, Continued From Page One.

Must Merge Interests. “It is as idle to think that the individ- ua. worker can secure justice as to think that the rudderless ship can escape the tempest,” said Gompers. “It is necessary for him to merge his interests with his fellows and thus obtain his rights, I have not and I will not now join in the hue and cry against combinations of cabital. I may say, parenthetically, that I do ob- ject to the trusts interfering with the po- liu:al affairs of the country, and partic- ularly with the judiciary. Dealing with them industrially, I welcome them. also wish to see organization of the work- ers, and I believe the best imterests of the two will prevail when their repre- sentatives meet and lnlrl‘gh and honestly adjust their differences. ey are jointly elements in the production and distribu- tion of wealth. The employer has no right to say to the laborer that there is nothing between them to arbitrate. That declaration has all the viciousness of the old relation of the master and slave.” Gompers expressed objection to the lan_of holding labor unions responsible or damages in action arising from their relations with their employers, and ex- pressed the opinion that they have suf- fered enough for the errors they made in such cases. Continuing, Gompers said: “Labor need have no fear for the future. Absolute assurance for it lies in the justice of its cause, the humane prin- ciples upon which it works, and in the grit and courage which make up the American people.” Should Reason Together. John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America, strongly advo- cated peace, “I think,” he sald, “the solution oflthe labor problem is not a difficult one. It needs no introduction of Utoplan ideas. Men should reason together, and when they are met they should be honest with one another. I have never seen a strike that could not have been averted if the two interests had met fairly in advance. If the great plan outlined before this con- ference is carried out it will do more good than any other movement in our country. As one who knows the effect of industrial war, no one will welcome more than I industrial peace. I have al- ways been for peace, only insisting that the peace be honorable peace.” Ben Tillet of London, one of the Eng- lish representatives at the meeting of the American Federation of Labor, and James Duncan, first vice president of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, also spoke. Ireland’s Eloquent Plea. Archbishop Ireland made the closing ad- dress of the conference. He said in part: “May the winds carry the news over the continent and around the world that such a meeting as this has taken place in the great city of New York. The hope of the twentieth cenlurfi is that the great prin- ciples of brotherhood, charity and justice announced by the holy one of Palestine shall become wider and deeper at this time than at any other. Let us have in- dustrial peace. Let employer and em- ploye know that they are brothers. Let f}r:arityh ar;d jub.;lci' and justice more an charity, the prevailing li this great nation.” b Tt Sargent then moved that a general ex- ecutive committee, composed of ten rep- resentatives of labor, ten of capital and ten from the general public, be appointed to take up the movement fostered by the col;leéehnc’& Thesresolution was_adopted, an airman Strauss soo: & nounced the committee, i A sub-committee of three to consider p‘liuns. scope and procedure was appoint- ed.

For many rea~ sons Nova Scotia would be as desirable for the site of a large North American station as Newfoundland, if not prefera- ble. Halifax has the advantage of being on the mainland and closer than St. Johns to the business centers of the continent. I must confess, however, that my hope is that the station will be near St. Johns.

President Roosevelt Selects a Wisconsin Man for Office. 2 WASHINGTON, Dec. 17. — Charles Emory Smith of Philadelphia has ten- dered to the President his formal resigna- tion as Postmaster-General, to take effect early next month, and Henry C. Payne of ‘Wisconsin, vice-chairman of the Repub- lican National Committee, has accepted the tender of the offtee, to which he will be nominated immediately after the holi- day recess. Smlxsm has agreed to remain untll January 15, if necessary, but will return immediately thereafter to Philadel- phia to resume the editorship of the Phil- adelphia Press. This change was formally announced at to-day’s session of the Cabinet. " All the members of the Cabinet expressed their regret and the President paid a tribute to the services and personality of the retir- ing member of his official family. He said that he-had sought to persuade Smith to alter his determination and to remain in the Cabinet, but without success, and he had fin&.dy accepted Smith’s reasons as declsive Smith first announced to the President the latter part of last month that he had decided to return to his editorial duties. The President at that time urged him to remain. Smith, however, had been fre- quently reminded by his business associ- ates of the duties devolving upon him, and was anxious to return to them. He had several talks with President Roosevelt on the subject, and finaliy on Saturday after- noon last formally tendered to the Presi- dent the following letter of resignation: WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 14, 1901 My Dear Mr. President: Following my ver- bal communication uf some time ago, I beg to tender my resignation of the office af Post- master General, to take effect at your early convenience on the appointment and qualifica- tion of my successor. This step is taken in fulfiliment of a plan long since formed for purely peréonal reasons, the execution of which has been delayed until it could be car- ried out without embarrassing your declared policy and untll department measures In which I am deeply interested could be satis- tactorily advanced and assured. In laying down the trust committed to my hands I want to thank you most sincerely for the confidence you have reposed in me, and for the great pleasure I have found in an asso- clation which has deepened my esteem for you personally and my admiration for the spirit and aims of your administration. With my best wishes that you may have the largest measure of success, I remain faithfully yours, 'HARLES EMORY SMITH. Smith delayed the forma*l tender until the President had chosen his successor. Payne is now at his home in Wisconsin. His name will go into the Senate for con- firmation the first week of January. Heis expected to be ready to take charge of the office by the middle of next month at the latest. It is stated that no other changes in the Cabinet are at present contem- plated. Smith has been Postmaster-General sincg April 21, 1898, succeeding James A. Gary of Maryland, virtually at the outset of the Spanish war. ary had been one of President McKinley’s original Cabinet appointees, but felt himself physically un- able to bear the strain of Cabinet dutles during the war.

Boydston was honored yesterday with the presentation of a handsome bronze medal, appropriately inscribed, for valorous con- duct while under heavy fire during the slege of the Peking legations. Colonel Harrington made the speech of presenta- tion, but detalled_the honor of pinning the ‘'medal upon Boydston to Captain “Jack” Meyers, because Meyers was com- manding officer of the company of ma- rines of which Boydston was a member at the time of his heroic conduct.

F1ll & bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an un- healthy ondition of the kidneys; if it stains e linen it is evidence of kidney trouble; too frequent desire to pass it, or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge se often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root, the great kidney and bladder rem- edy, fulfills every wish in curing rheuma~ tism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the ex- traordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists in fifty- cent and one-dollar sizes. You may have a sample bottle of Swamp-Root and a book that tells more about it, both sent absolutely free by mail.

BRIaK DEBATE ON NEW COLONY Philippine Islands Rev= enue Bill Enlivens Congress. WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—The bill to provide temporary revenues for the Phil= ippine Islands was debated in the House to-day and will be voted on to-morrow at 4 o'clock. Tt was the first debate of | the session and was conducted without display of temper. Several lively ex- changes and an impassioned speech by De Armond of Missouri, who has just re- turned from a trip to the Philippines, in opposition to the retention of the islands ‘were the features. yne, the floor leader of the majority, opened the debate. Owing to the indispo- sition of Richardson, the duty of opening for the minority devolved upon Swanson of Virginia. The other speakers ware Grosvenor (R.) of Ohio and bertson (D.) of Louisiana, for the bill, and Shafroth (Silverite) of Colorado, De Armond (D.) of Missouri, Thayer (D.) of Massachu- setts and Patterson (D.) of Tennessee, against it. To-morrow McCall, a Republican mem- ber of the Ways and Means Committee, from Massachusetts, will oppose the bill, time having been granted him by the Democrats. Payne aroused enthusiasm as heé de- scribed the great work of civilization which was going on along the line of edu- cation. “Our friends on the other side,” sald he, “howl about our imperialistic govern- ment over the natives. We are trying to lift them up to the standard of American citizenship.” “Are you trying to fit them for citizen- ship in_the United States or citizenship in the Philippine Islands?" asked Gaines of Tennessee. “We will cross that bridge when wo come to it,” replied Payne. “But If you, on the other side, will co-operate with us we will fit them for citizenship in the Philippine Islands, the United States of any other country.” (Republican ap- plause.) * “We will co-operate with you,” replied Gaines, “when you carry the constitution and the flag to the Philippines.” “I am surprised,” observed Paymne, “to hear the gentleman from Tennessee maks that statement. He has just returned from the islands. Is it possible he did not carry the constitution and flag with him?”* «Tug Crepre House.” M 233235237 Post Street Friedman’s Furniture «Dear One:” mas.
