They Blame Him and His Organ ization For Not Joining the In ternational Movement He Replies Vigorously. I Paris, Am.'.

Nevertheless, as an evidence thai the I ni. id St."!es was anxious for Interna-: timcil eo-oiieralion, Sir. Jumpers Intro lui ed a proposal favoring worldwide j 'I'- '-ii'atioii which would "defend the riulns and interests of all and create' iniernatioiial fraternily and solidnri ty." Tin- clash came over the question ol i tin- exact status of Mr. ( lumpers and j the American Federation of Labor in tlie conference. Mr. (iompers explain ed that for the present lie was mciol.v j an auditor, but was ready to give lib opinions. It had been t lie aspiration of the American woikmen to come inti 1 chisel contact wllli tlie labor move-' n".r . ; ., ... '.! .. fouudly attaclicd to the cause of soli ' darity of labor. One olistacle in the way of nllllia lion, he said, was the feeling that an tagonism existed in lhirnpc toward American trades unionism. .Moreover It was feared that tlie American work men might be compelled to subordl unto their policies to those of men knowing little or nothing about Ainer iian industrial conditions and proh lems. "rersonally," ho continued, "I liavi no authority to pledge the alllllatlon ol the American Federation of Labor, lint I believe it will conns in time." Mr. (Jumpers' statement was receiv ed coldly. Several delegates jumped to their feet to protest, lluebcr, an Austrian delegate, vehemently charac terized Mr. (iompers explanation as mockery. He. like the others, had been under the impression that the Americans meant business and that Mr. (iompers was tlie ollicial delegate from that country. Otherwise tie could not understand how tlie Ameri can resolutions happened to lx print oil in tlie ollicial program. "We thank you for your opinions." lie said pointedly, "but we do not need them. Your policies may not permit you to come to us, but one day Ameri can workmen will realize that your policies are erroneous, and you "will see the necessity of joining tlie Inter- national confederation." Mr. (iompers, stinging under the re buke, but unlllnchlinr, arose to reply. "I regret." he exclaimed, "that you h:ie misconstrued )ny remarks as an .itt ii k upon Km-oponn trades union Is ii If Kurope does not want us it Nil! In unfortunate. Nevertheless we v II . "iitintie to do everything possible i" .it'. lin the goal for which the human r.ne is struggling, international futer iili mid unity."

M I.i'iiiou. the International seoro . r. , nded the controversy with the st.iteii.eiii that Mr. (Jumpers was only .i .tii -t. but ho hoped that that o!il la'l Mas . oiivineed that the moment hnl arrive 1 for tlio American l'ederation of Labor to Join forces with their 1'u roi .1:1 I i-i'threii.

Drastic Measures Framed by Taft Commission. TO STOP OVERCAPITALIZATION Attorney General Wickersham, Sec- retary Nagel and Other Experts at Work on Interstate Com- merce Act Amendment. New York. Aug. "1. Laws more drastic than any yet devised for the control of interstate corporations are being framed by President Taft's commission, now in session here. They include swift jail punishment for tlie violation of the provisions of the mil It rust law. which has practi cally Income a "dead letter." and a separation of the inquisitorial and ju nlelal powers of the interstate com merce commission. The commission that is framing tlie aws include-, two members of the 'resident's cabinet. Attorney (ieneral Wicker-ham and Secretary Nagel of the department of commerce and la 'i h: The attorney general has dis-i-U'-i'd at li'iigih with the president his plans for tlie revision of the laws, i.rtl the work of tlie commission islie-ii'i- done In accord wbh the ptesl 'loin's views. The other members of the commis sion are Solicitor (ieneral Lloyd W. I'. vver.-, UepiTsenlatlve Charles E. Town-end of Michigan and Commis sioners Martin A. Knapp and Charles A. Piouty of tlie inlerstate commerce commision. Mr. Taft lias pointed out that the .Hitilrusl law is a criminal statute ami should deline in greater detail the evils which are prohibited under it. If the continuance of evil commercial practices Is persisted in after tlie laws have been clearly dellin'd and revised !iK desire is that swift prosecution . i.k' follow . Attorney (ieneral Wickershain said that one of the problems was to draw the line more sharply between com binations that cannot be described as monopolies, but which are so classed under tlie antitrust law. The dift' culty. be said, was in separating the sheep from the goats. One of the remedies under discus sion is a national incorporation act, under which the Interstate corpora- i 1 ions would escape petty state regit la 1 tions. but would be held more tightly ' In check by tlie national government. The interstate commerce act, it is ' said. Is to be so amended that the In quisitorial work now done by the com , mission will be transferred to the bu reau of corporations of the depart- ' incut of commerce and labor and tlie work of prosecution to the depart , meiit of Justice. The commission will then sit in Judgment on the evidence , produced. One of the most Important results : of the work of the commission will be . the probable restriction of bond and stock issues by interstate railways. giving the commission power similar ' to that lodged with the public service commission in this state. If this is ' done it will absolutely revolutionize railroad tli' iacing in this country. EARL GllEY LOST IN WOODS. Canada's Governor General Nearly Fr.lls Cver a Precipice. Victoria.

Sends Another Letter to New York Police Commissioner, Who Says He Will Not Permit the Affair to Come Off. New York. Aug. i'.L-The $:0.ono prizefight between Stanley Ketcliel and S'am Langford, scheduled for Sept. l.i, under the auspices of the rairnioitt Athletic club, will proba bly not tak" place, owing to action t. ikon by (iovornor Hughes. The govt rnor has written to Dis trict Attorney Jerome ami Police Commissioner Baker calling their at tuition to the fact that pri.cltghts are forbidden in this state by statute. On receiving his letter District At torney Jerome Invited William !ib si'U of the l'airmont Athletic club and his counsel. Morris Deichcs, to visit i.im at the ciimlunl courts building. Mi', c.lhson wa on band early, and he ii 'd a long heart to heart talk with Mr. Jerome and his assistant. Dan Murphy. At Hie close of th" conference none of the parties would discuss the case. P.ttt Mr. Jerome called attention to the statute honks anil also to the fact fiat tlie governor had advised him tint prizelighls were barred in tills state. Additional interest was taken in the matter because Police Commissioner Baker also received a letter from the governor, and he, too, went on record as dei hiring that lie will not permit the tight to be pulled off. It is easy to see just where the pro moters of'thls tight stand. The Fair mont Athletic cluli has always, it is sail, i isisted on the strict interpreta tion of tlie 1 iw which regards "mem bers" In good faith, it lias also been circulated that no tickets are sold for these bouts. When Police Commissioner Baker was see.i after Ids conference with the district attorney lie said that the police were now restrained by an in junction issued by Justice Seabury in tlie supreme court from interfering witii tlie Fairmont club. It seems that some time ago Magistrate Butts in police court in discharging several defendants taken In the Fairmont club handed down an opinion which held that the l'airmont concern was a bona tide club. The supreme court iiijuctlon is now in force, but accord ing to Commissioner Baker if the po lice are satislled that the law is being violated they will interfere in spite of the restraining order. Commissioner Baker said, "Tlie leg islature ought to pass a law permit ting respectable chilis to hold spar ring matches with a certain number of rounds or allow no club to hold tlie matches."

DEATH ; IST 2,010 Monterey's Flood Disaster Assumes Vast Proportions. PROPERTY LOSS IS $25,000,000 More Than 26,000 Persons Homeless and Many of Those Who Es caped Were Without Food For Three Days. Monterey. Mexico, Aug. ill. With more than a thousand bodies of vic tims ol the Hood and tidal wave recov ered ami burled. 'J.niMi is now the esti mated number of Hood victims through out the valley of the Santa Catarinti liver. The number of homeless, many destitute. Is placed at 'J(!.."IKI. The Santa Catarlna river at Monte rey lias subsided siilllciently to permit ii passage into the district iying to the south, and a visit to that set t ion re vealed appalling conditions. People who bad been saved from tlie Hood had been without food for three days, when on some cables a small amount of bread and beans was got across. Hvideiices of the terrible destruction wrought by tile Hood were everywhere visible. Five blocks of the district were as though they had never exist ed, and In tlie remaining portion bod ies were being taken from the ruins and hurled by a party of gendarme;! sent across for the purpose. One of the buildings destroyed was the San Francisco church, the oldest building in tlio city. The barracks of the ruraies was washed away, and much military equipment was lost. Beports from down the river stat" that many bodies have been recovered, but there are many that will never be accounted for, as the Santa Catarina bed is tilled with quicksand, and many of those lost have no doubt disap peared in the sands. Tlie railroad )rocxi; io.-, cxtt mated by olliclals of the lines at i?l. 000,000, which added to tlie loss In tills city makes nearly $2.",000,000 of prop erly damage here and the vicinity. The national bank olllcials estimate the loss in the business center of Mon terey at $.".00(1.000. The loss to the big .smelter and industrial plants outside, the city limits will amount to as much. The value of the eighteen blocks of buildings which were destroyed is lixed at $:!,000,()00. Many of the small er settlements in the state have been wholly destroyed or badly damaged, while the crops everywhere have been ruined. Tlie authorities are doing all In their power, and the federal government has sent ,r(,00n in money and provisions for the relief of the sufferers. Contri butions have been received from San Antonio and New York city firms which have agencies In tills city and which have authorized their represent atives to contribute liberally to the re lief fund. President Diaz has telegraphed S?:?0, ('00 for the relief of flood sufferers. Vice President Corral lias contributed S.ooo and Ambassador Thompson $1, noo to the fund. The fact that the lied Cross of the United States is to give aid to the suf ferers lias been learned here with pro found satisfaction.
