    Democrat Platform
One Big Ujumble”
Gompers Asserts
Labor Leader Makes Sharp
| , Reply to Letter From
Member of Davis Cam
paign Committee.
By Associated Press.
Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 10.—
Samuel Gompers amplifies In reply
to a second letter from William B.
Wilson of the democratic campaign
committee at Washington, the rea
sons why the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor con
sidered John W. Davis undeserving
of labor's endorsement as a presiden
tial candidate.
The Gompers letter to Wilson of
today reiterates Mr. Gompers’ asser
tion that Mr. Davis was not respon
sible for the draft or enactment of
the Clayton law.
‘‘You letter makes reference to the
eight-hour law for government em
ployes," sold Mr. Gompers. "Let me
remind you that the law was first
passed by a republican congress.”
The labor leader relates again his
version of negotiations which pre
vented the wartime railway strike,
and again denies that Mr. Davis or
the supreme court earned the credit.
, Republican Congress.
Mr. Gompers continues, In part:
"It was a republican congress with
Abraham Lincoln as president that
abolished human slavery In America.
If the reasoning employed In your
letter were to be followed it would
logically ensure that labor and the
people generally must for all time
follow the republican party.
"That the democratic party, with
the martyred Wilson at Its head, en
acted Into law a fair concept of hu
man relations and human freedom can
no more bind us forever to that or
ganisation than the emancipation
proclamation could bind us forever to
the republican party.
"But the democratic party recently
held Its national convention for the
purpose of declaring the principles
upon which It now stands. Compare
the democratic platforms of 1912, 1916
and 1920 with the Jumble of the 1924
platform upon which Mr. Davis Is a
candidate.
Raps Demo Platform.
"Every principle of freedom and
justice which found expression In the
platforms of 1912, 1916 and 1920 is
conspicuous by Its absence from the
1924 platform, which even falls to
i ecommend to the people for ratifi
cation the child labor constitutional
amendment. The framers of that
platform contented themselves with
taking some unction to their souls be
cause a few democrats voted for sub
mission of an amendment In the house
of representatives and the eenate.
"Seven years have passed since you
left the cabinet of Woodrow Wilson
and went Into another avenue of life.
You must, however, somehow be un
der the impression that it Is Wood
row Wilson who Is candidate for
president In 1924 and not John W.
Davis, and that the platform Is the
platform of Woodrow Wilson and not
of John W. Davis and the 1924 demo
cratic convention,"
Mr. Gompers In behalf of the ex
ecutive council, also made public the
text of telegrams and letters ex
changed between him and Mr. Davis
since the democratic convention at
New York. He made known in addi
tion the contents of a telegram in
viting him to the notification cere
monies at Clarksburg, W. Va., and
his telegram declining to attend.
Retraction Refused.
Another development today at the
annual session of the council here
was the refusal of Matthew Woll,
ilce president, Jo retract the council's
attack upon the industrial report of
the federated council of the churches
, ,,f America. He informed Rev. Felix
h. Johnson of Philadelphia, who came
here at the Instance of the council
of churches to request that the Amer
ican Federation of Labor denuncia
tion of Iho report be withdrawn, that
labor s objection to the report "could
not bo retracted as long as the report
stands in Its present language.”
The council elected Janies Wilson
of Cincinnati, president of the Inter
national Pattern Makers' league of
America, as a vice president of the
council to succeed Joseph Valentine,
president of the International Mould
er’s Union of America, who yester
day resigned because of 111 health.
The Davls-Gompprs correspondence
consisted of two letters and two tele
grams, as given out by Mr. Gompers,
the first was a letter written by Mr.
Davis at New York on July 17 snd
addressed to Mr. Gompers at Brighton
Beach, N. Y.
Seeks Interview.
"My dear Mr. Gompers," the letter
began, "I am very anxious to have a

upondrnt.
Los Angeles, Aug. 10.—How old Is
Ann?
Her friends say she Is 25; her ene
mies 35.
Tonight, weak and exhausted from
tho grilling given her by defense at
torneys In her $100,000 suit against
Jack White, Los Angeles millionaire,
for alleged breach of contract to star
her In motion pictures, Ann Luther,
actress, estranged wife of Ed Galla
gher, vaudeville star, seemed all her
enemies said.
Pos-l-tive-ly, Mr. Shean!
"Of course, I look old tonight," said
Ann, "but who wouldn’t with that
dirty Schenck (chief defense counsel)
lying and lying about me. And Mon
day I must face him again!
“The Woman Pays.”
"Oh! The movies are right! ’TIs
the woman pays and pays and pays."
Why do men love Ann Luther?
As she flaunts her golden tresses,
green eyes and smiling lips, even on
the witness stand under most antag
onistic cross examination, this woman
appeals and she is followed by the
caress of many hungry glances.
Yet Ann Luther Is not beautiful, al
though in her radiant, abundant hair
lurks the sunshine of the ages.
No—its not colored. Nature’s own
laboratory gove her tresses their won
derful golden glint. Men adore that
hair—It fascinates, commands them.
It means spirit, fire and passion.
Pleading Eyes.
And the pleading eyes—how they
beg!
When she talks to woman, Ann
Luther Is different. She veils her
luBter-eyed glances and smiles pleas
antly, bromldlcally. But to men her
frank, free eyes seem to say:
to stop over a few hours in New
York to rest from possible fatigue of
the ride from this hotel before going
on the train to Atlantic City. I,
therefore, suggest that If it be agree
able that the Interview take place
In my apartment here in the Shel
burne hotel, Tuesday, July 29, or In
the Hotel Astor, room 172, any time
that day.
Invites Interview.
"Though not In my usual robust
health, I should like you to feel that
I am confident that the Interview
which you suggest would have no
deleterious effect upon me.
"If neither of these suggestions
conform to your convenience, let me
say that I expect to be in Atlantic
City at the Ambassador hotel, July
30, and for several days thereafter,
v/here, If you care to, interview can
be held.”
Next came a telegram from Mr.
Davis dated at Dark Harbor, Me., on
July 24 and saying;
"Your letter 22d forwarded to me
here. Regret to say it will be Im
possible to finish the work In hand
and return to New York July 29.
Plarfhlng to leave here August 1 and
will communicate with you upon ar
rival In New York. Meantime will
welcome if you care to furnish it.
statement of questions In which labor
Is chiefly interested at the moment.
My best wishes for your return fo
health."
The Davis Gompers correspondence
was concluded with the following
telegram from Mr. Gompers under
date of New York July 25:
"Telegram received. You expressed
wish for personal Interview with me
and designated the time. In my re
ply I manifested my willingness for
the Interview to take place to con
form to the time designated by you.
The several dates and places sug
gested In my letter are still agree
able to me. I can submit no ques

equally submitted to other candidates
for the presidency.”

Chicago, Aug. 10.—Members of the

which A. W. Jefferis of Nebraska is
chairman, will be guests at luncheon
of the Hamilton club, August 19, the

“Look into my Innermost heart. It
is yours to explore for the asking.
Come, I dare you!"
"Dcr men like me?” Ann Luther,
daughter of a New Jersey sewing
machine agent, who now threatens to
rock the pillars of Hollywood, repeats
the Interviewers’ question.
“Is It my looks? I don't know.
But whatever It Is, it’s a curse. Damn
men for all time! They have been
the bane of my life.”
So says this woman of 25. or 27
maybe, with two divorces and two
confessed romances to her credit.
"Perhaps I do charm men. Jack
White told me he’d die Just for Ann
Luther.
"How does my suit look tonight?
Watch me Monday. I’ll tell that
Schenck a few things. I won't spare
a single soul—it’s me against the
world In this fight."
SLAYERS’ DEFENSE
HAS “ACE IN HOLE”
(Continued From Pace One.)
He said he would probably make dif
ferent arrangements for an automo
bile for the purpose of carrying out
the murder, and that he certainly
would—If It were to be done again—
push the body further Into the cul
vert so that It would not be discov
ered.
"Other than that, he could think of
no changes he would make In the
program.”
And there Is a new phase of Leo
pold's philosophy.
Robert Pranks was Just one In 3,
000,000. One wouldn't hurt, dead or
alive. The city would run on. Just
as usual. Why not kill him?
"One Murder Not Material.”
"Among other things he stated that
the killing of one boy made no dif
ference to a community,” the report
says.
“That society In Hyde P^rk and
Chicago functioned Just the same on
the 22nd day of May as It did on the
20th. He said that perhaps if he were
to kill a multitude of people in a com
munity, it might make some differ
ence, but killing one or a dozen in a
large, densely populated community
like this could In no w’ay affect so
ciety.
He said that if he got personal
pleasure out of it, that was Ills busi
ness and that was sufficient Justifica
tion for his act.”
Hall asked Loeb if he would think
of killing someone else—If he would
hesitate. Loeb said he wouldn’t hesi
tate, if he thought It would give him
a thrill of pleasure.
"Would you hesitate to kill me?”
asked Dr. Hall.
Dr. Hall is about six feet, two
inches tall, and weighs plenty.
Well, I'd be taking on a pretty
big contract,” sold Loeb. "I don't
know w hether I'd tackle It or not ”

Butler Is Guiding
Genius of Church
Bishop of England CalE
Servant “Guarantee of
Stability.”
London, Aug. 10.—Probably the
greatest influence in the English
church today Is George. George is
not an archbishop, a bishop, a canon,
a dean, or even a rector. He is just
a butler.
For more than 50 years George—
whose other name is Belcher—has
been the butler at the Church of Enc
land training college in Oxfordshire.
Practically every lishop or other high
dignitary of the Church of England
for half a century has come under
the ministrations of George.
At the annual reunion of the col
lege the bishop of St. Albans declared
that the real work of training minis
ters during the last 50 years has been
done by George. The bishop of Ox
ford described him as "the pure
guarantee of stability and true con
servatism."
George blushed when he heard these
words of praise from the high eccle
siastical dignitaries, but he retained
the modesty which is his outstanding
characteristic.
“You see," he tald, “these gather
ings are sort of jollifications where ^
the old students get together and “
they don't mean all they say—except
that they are very kind."
