Makes Dramatic Speech
Before Convention.

Right ofjAmericans to Work
Themselves to Death
Is Denied.
Toronio, Ont., Nov. 17.—Endorsing
a report of the committee on boycott,
John Mitchell, one of the three offi-
cers of the American Federation of
l*abor under sentence for contempt of
court, made a dramatic speech to the
convention today. He declared that
as far as he was concerned, regard-
less of consequences, he intended
while at liberty to declare for the
rights guaranteed him by the Consti-
tution.
Report Adopted.
The rpeort, which drew forth Mit-
chell's speech, and which was adopted
bv the convention, declared:
'"We say that when your cause is
just and every other remedy has been
employed without result, boycott; we
say that when the employer has de-
termined to exploit not only adult
male labor, but out women and chil-
dren and our reasoning and appeal to
his fairness and his conscience will
not sway him, boycott; we say that
when labor has been oppressed, brow-
beaten and tyrannized, boycott; we
say that when social and political
conditions become so bad that ordi-
nary remedial measures are fruitless,
boycott; and finally we say we have
a right to boycott and propose to ■ex-
ercise that right. In the application
of this right, to paraphrase the pres-
ident fGompers) we propose to strive
on and on.”
Convention Cheers.
The convention broke Into loud
cheers for Mitchell as he concluded
and there were cries for Morrison.
The secretary did not respond. Pres-
ident Gompers was absent.
Mr. ‘.Mitchell said he realized that
every statement made by those on
the convention floor and especially
by those who on next Monday will
have to deliver themselves to the
courts, is being closely watched.
"I want the people of the United
States to know my position," he said.
"I shall not speak defiantly; but 1
shall not surrender any right guaran-
teed to me by the constitution of our
country. If I know myself not any
amount of suffering will persuade me
that I have not the right to spemU»y
money where I please or that I. have
not the right to write, and speak as
I please.
States Position Clearly.

terances of ^nen ou the floor of this

Chicago, Nov. 17.—'The special com-
mission investigating charges of
fraud in the letting of municipal con-
tracts drew admissions today from
City Engineer Ericson, the principal
witness, that he had been informed of
the alleged contractors’ "rings" to
defraud the city, that he had disre-
garded information concerning the al-
leged frauds, given him by a subordi-
nate, and that he had at one time
practically been deposed from his po-
sition through the political influence
of a clique of contractors.
Mr. Ericson said that under the ad-
ministration of Mayor Dunne he had
been asked to resign because of the
importunities of the alleged clique.
He said he refused and for a year
he had been merely a figurehead, suit-
ordinates signing his name and per-
forming all executive functions of his
department.

INTRODUCE ‘GRIDIRON’
FEATURES AT BANQUET
Many Distinguished Visitors
Present at Successful
Social Affair.
At the annual banquet of the Tol-
tec club last night the following offi-
cers were elected for the coming
year: H. J. Simmons, president; J. H.
Pollard, vice president; W. E. Race,
secretary, and J. G. McNary, treas-
urer.
The following four men were elect-
ed as directors to serve for the next
three years: YV. E. Arnold, John L.
Dyer, F. J. Feldman and H. J. Sim-
mons.
Speakers Verbally Roasted.
The banquet, which is always held
in connection with the annual elec-
tion, was the most enjoyable one ever
given by jtbe club. This fact was
caused by the intioduction, for the
first time in the west, of the gridiron
feature, The gridiron simply means
that each member of the club is laid
on the coals—figuratively, of course—
and with many shouts of glee is ver-
bally roasted long and well by the
other members, This innovation
made a decided hit; in fact, it was a
“scream" from start to, finish.
Every member, from Toastmaster
Rurges down to the newest member,
was mercilessly roasted, and for pure,
unadulterated fun the “.show" had any
minstrel company in the world back-
ed clear off the hoards.
“Gridiron Club" Features.
The banquet was attended by the
United States senators who arrived
in Si Paso yesterday on their “tour
of irrigation,” also by Governor Curry
of New Mexico, and several other dts-
Continaed on Paffr Tko.
COL. ASM’S BOAT
REPORTED MISSING
Anxiety Is Felt for Yacht
Which Sailed from Port
Antonio a Week Ago.
New York. Nov. 17.—Col. John
•laced) Astor who is aboard his yacht
Xbiirmahal. has not been in commu-
nication with New York for twelve
days and it is likely he has not heard
that Mrs. Astor obtained a decree, of
divorce from him November 8. Early
the day before the divorce was grant-
ed, Colonel Astor was reported to
have sailed from Port Antonio, Ja-
eaica. Since then no word has come
from him and some concern has been
lelt for the safety of-the yacht.
Mrs. Astor sailed for Europe on the
Lusitania today. Vincent, the 17-year-
old son. is cruising with Iris father.
William A. Bobbyn, Aster's private
secretary, said tonight that he was
without word from Colonel Astor, but
felt that his protracted silence was
due only to interruption of telegraph-
ic communication.
YVashington, Nov. 17.—Search Is
being made by the government for
ihe missing yacht N'ourmahal, belong-
ing to John Jacob Astor of New York.
She Is supposed to be somewhere in
West Indian waters between Jamaica
and Porto Rico.
The treasury department on request
of anxious inquiries today cabled to
the commander of the revenue cutter
A.lgonquin at San Juan, P. K„ to
search for the Nourmahal. The yacht
is reported to have left Port Antonio
for San Juan, P, It., over a week ago
and has not since been reported.

CONFERENCE HELD AT
SCENE OF DISASTER
Experts Unable to Agree on
Plan For Rescuing the
Entombed Men.
Cherry, 111. Nov. 17.—For the first
time since Sunday two daring men
tonight took their lives iu their hands
and descended the ventilating shaft
of the St. Paul mine in the blocked
and fiery galleries of which more
than 30.0 men and boys Ue dead.
Two Men Exhausted.
The exploit was successfully carried
througn bv Thomas Morris and U. Y.
Williams, both of the United States
geological survey. They were nearly
exhausted when hauled to the surface.
From what they discovered it is
thought the fire has moved back from
the main shaft and that it may -be
possible to enter it soon.
Williams, much the lighter of the
two, descended to the second gallery,
where the fire started. The shall
was eomparativly cool. There was
considerable steam, but much less
smoke than on Sunday.
A numerous faction contended all
day that the mine should be sealed
for months if necessary, for weeks in
any event, until further exploration
could be made with safety. This fac-
tion included the majority of the ex-
perts here from all ont-r the country.
Buckets Lowered.
But the cry of the men who have
lost their comrades ?nd of the wom-
en, who dig their nails Into the earth,
calling for their loved ones, was too
strong, and Morris and Williams de-
termined upon the attempt. The
buckets were carefully lowered and

Washington, Nov. 17.—It was stated
at the Nicaraguan legation today that
information had been receive ! by ca
ble from Zelaya that the commander
at Barra, Colorado, Costa Rica, had
detained for the Nicaraguan govern-
ment forty Nicaraguan "revolutionists,
who had escaped across the border
after the battle at Greytown.
The legation also was informed
that General Chamarro, one of the
leaders of the revolution, bad gone
to Costa Rica, taking with him pris-

who had been held at Bluefields.

General Romero Killed.
Advices from President Zelaya to
the Nicaraguan minister here report
that General Romero, chief of Gene-
ral Chamorro's slag, was killed in the
battle With the government troops be-
fore Greytown and that General Pe-
dro Fcrnos Diaz another revolution-
ary leader, was seriously wounded.
The insurgents, according to these
advices, have fallen back from llama,
where they made a stand agatnst the
second army corps under General Vas-
quez and are in retreat toward Blue
fields with the government troops in
close pursuit.
Private Advices Here.
Private advices received here to-
ntght say that a corps of the Hondu-
ran army is now on the march to
Choluteca on the Nicaraguan frontier
under command of General Lara.
Whether the column Is to aid Zelaya
or merely to preserve neutrality of
Honduras is a conjecture.
This development is said to make
the central American situation tense.
The Washington treaty of l!to7 pro-
vides for the strict neutrality of Hon-
duras. A violation of that treaty
probably would change the entire sit-
uation In the present revolution.
