I OUR STORR WILL BR OPEN RVRNINGS 'THIS WRRK- POLICE RAID GAMBLING DEN Men ami n Lot of rnrnpliernnlla Gathered In and Taken to the Station. The police created consternation In a pool room last evening by appearing unexpect edly and raiding a gambling den In the rear of It and placlngalL tbo Inmates , under ar rest. The pee ) room .was at 90S North Six teenth street. The police have suspected for some tlmo that a. gambling house was being maintained In connection , with it arid they decided last night to break the concern up. The proprietors of the rooms are Theo dore Gallagher nnd W. J , Gibson. These men had electric wires arranged between the front of the building and tha gambling room In the rear , so that In case tbo police should enter the front door warning could bo given the card players and all the gam bling paraphernalia secreted before the of ficers could reach them. This contrivance was discovered , and to ensure the capture of the men as they were at the game the of- fleers entered both the front and rear doors at the same time. About 11 o'clock Officer * Dillon and Urban were stationed at the back door and Captain Donobue-wlth Officers Bafdwiiv Ryan , Russell and Fahey stood at the front entrance. At a given signal the back door was kicked In ahd the officers entered from both 'directions at.once.i The ' % eight men seated about the tables ; p'laylng "stud" poker were taken completely by aur- prlio.

PEMBLETON HELD TO HEARING Preliminary Examination of Young SI nil Charged with Shootlnir the Cook nt the t'nlnmet. , The trial of Lawrence Pcmbleton , the young colored fellow who Is accused of shooting Edward Jensen with intenfto-klll , commenced yesterday afternoon In Judge Gordon's court atera delay of over a month td give the complaining witness an oppor tunity to recover. Pembleton was bound over to the district court In the sum of $2,500 bopd , , alttuiugh his .att'orqey did hla best " to have It "reduced. , Thc/ witnesses who testified were Edward Jensen , the man who was shot ; Dr. Elmer R. Porter. Harry Perego , M. J. McMahbn , ' M. E' Roach , Detectives Havey and Cor- mack , Officers Drummy and Flynn , "Jensen was the first witness on the stand and his , testimony did not appear to have as much .weigh't as might have.been expected. He was the night cook at tha Calumet restau rant at the time the shooting occurred. Be- , twe n 3 and 4 o'clock'on tha morning of November 4 he beard I6ud talking In the dining part of the restaurant. He went out and saw a.colored man strike tha waiter. He .ordered one out apd started for the sec ond. He followed the aecond man as far as the front door and ran him Into the cash stand. He grabbed him by the collar and shoved1 him out the door giving him a partIng - Ing tap as be did so. This was when be was shot , , but he could not tell who did It. Dr. Porter testified that be was called to attend the wounded man. He found the bul let had entered between the first and aecond rib ranging In and downward. He ordered the man taken to the hospital. Four weeks later the bullet tru found in the vertebra * of the spinal column. It was a very danger ous woUnd. Harry Perego , a waiter at the Calumet , deposed that ho was eating his lunch in the back part of the restaurant on the morning of the shooting when four colored people , two men and two women , entered. They took aeats at a table , but he paid no atten tion to them. Presently one began to pound on the table and make a loud noise. The witness walked up and shook his head at them. Ono of them , a young fellow by the name of Williams , came back and asked in an Insulting manner It ho were not going to wait on 'the party. He responded that he thought ndt , whereupon Williams struck him on the cheek. Wllllnma then turned to run with Jensen , the cook who bad emerged from the kitchen , after him. The women and the other man bad hurried to the front of the room going out the front door. Wil liams ran toward them with Jensen after him. He stopped on Ibo way to pick Up a sugar bowl and hurl It at his pursuer. Jen sen overtook him at the cash register and In the mlxup Jensen was shot. He saw Pem bleton standing In the door with the revolver in his hand and saw him shoot Jensen. M. J. ) McMahon's testimony agreed with that pf .Perego. He was a customer who had dropped in tor-a late lunch. He saw the whoJe. occurrence and stated positively that be saw Pembleton fire * the shot. /The'testimony of Mr. Roach and the oRl- .cera was what they learned after the affray. Someone met Mr. Roach on .the street two nights otter the shooting and gave him the revolver , .which Pembleton la supposed to have used. - Detectives Havey and Cormack met the two women and one of the men on the street after'the'ehcotlng. They denied having any lnoWle4ge''of ita occurrence. A second man escaped after the officers had chased him a block. The defense offered no testimony and no argument was made except on the matter of bond. The court thought the customary bond of $2,500 In such caaea was nnt too much.

Though thecon - chiton of the American Federation' La- Mr has extended over six days , fully two- birds of the business mapped out for the iclcgates remains untouched. It has been Ix daysof talk , As a sailor delegate cx- ircssed It tonight : "Tho tlmo of the conven- IOQ has been largely wasted In wind jam ming. " Much of the argument and debate centered around the question of social- em , and the efforts of the social demo- rats to sccuro an endorsement of their iropaganda. This Issue was disposed of this ftcrnoon , when the socialists were burled inder an overwhelming vote , and It Is now nought that the convention will conio to an nd by Wednesday next. A forlorn hope was never bolstered up by a moro eloquent plea than the socialists mong the delegates to the American Fedcr- .tlon of Labor convention advanced In bc- lalf of the principles which they believe offer the true relief from grimi ng Industrial conditions'and the oppression of capital. The federation Is opposed to ommltting Itself to the Indorsement of any lolltlcal party and has voted In * > ach annual onventlon to this effect. Democrats and re publicans have given up their efforts for heir theories of government , but the Eoclal- sts have not. Each year when the convcn- lon meets they are on hand. They realize .hat their work will bo vain as far as prac- Ical , definite results are concerned , but hey glory In the agitation they cause and in ho fact that they make converts In secret. The entire morning session today was spent along these lines. Gomufra Ucprove * SncInlUt * . While the speechmaklng was at Its height his morning Mr. Gompers took a hand and denounced the efforts of the socialists to In fuse their doctrines Into that of trades unionism. He said : This Question Involves tl , Integrity of ho labor movement of our country. Either ho trade union movement 'Is right or It la wrong. Wo must cither declare for the union movement without frills or follies , or make an admission that It Is wrong. The men who advocate and ask you to commit ourselves to this movement have In the > ast done all that man can do to disrupt radea unions. One of the parties referred o called a convention to form a rival to bis federation. At that convention they tung up a broad streamer emblazoned in otters of red : "Wreck the old trades unions and pull for socialism. " They bavn besmirched the name of labor. They have attacked the Integrity of the men who have tried to better the conditions of labor. They have attacked conservatism and everything that Is good for our cause , f their propositions were likely to advance .he Interests of labor I would give It my adherence at once. but. knowing as I do hat every attempt at diverting our efforts has been followed by an era of Inertia and ndlfforence. I cannot subscribe for It. Rather than turn our unions Into ward clubs , we are working on the line that will letter our Interests before the whole coun try. try.I I know that progress Is necessarily slow and there Is no such thing as a short-cut to lie millennium. I am sure that we are on the path of progress and that the success of labor is at the end of that lane. We ihould bo broad and comprehensive In all .hat we do and the day of labor's emanci pation will soon come. HociullntH Are Honted. The debate on social conditions and pro posed remedies of so-called evils was re sumed at the afternoon session and was continued to the close of the day'e proceed ings' . The'result was an utter roui of the socialists , their resolutions being burled by a vote of 4 % to 1. The report of th resolu tions committee , embodying the resolution offered as a substitute for the socialist resolutions , was then laid before the con vention and adopted by a voteof 1,807 to 420 , the vote against the substitute repre senting the socialist strength in the con vention. The resolutions finally adopted are as fol low * : We are committed against the endorse ment , or Introduction of partisan politics , religious differences or race prejudices.'We tiold it to be the duty of trades unionists ; o study and discuss all questions that have any bearing upon their Industrial or politi cal liberty , but we declare that it is not within the province of the American Feder ation of Labor designate . to which politi cal party a member shall belong 'or for which political party bo shall vote. 'ihe convention then listened to an ad dress by Clarence Darrow , the Chicago lawyer who defended Debs In the federal court , on "The Courts and the Working- men. " In the course of his speech Mr. Darrow said : Theoretically , all people are equal before the law. but practically wealth ibas the same influence before the courts that It has In the other walks of life. It Is almost Im possible for a poor man to obtain his rights before the courts. Lntvai Favor the Rich. For centuries the law has constantly been growing to favor the rich and to destroy the poor. Our law 16 made in two ways ; first , by legislatures , and next , by the courts. Everyone knows < tbat most of the legislatures have been corrupt for the last twenty-five years ; that they have been In the employ of the corporations , and that legislation Is made In their interests , rather than tbo Interests of the people. No matter how Ignorant a man may be hie decisions go down as the law. The young lawyer Who shows ability Is soon picked up by the corporations and It is not long before he is elected 'to the bench. In all sections tbo railroads and corporations have the ablest lawyers In their employ. So long as the courts persist In the pres ent si stem any body of men may be tent to Jail any time they see fit to strike. These questions are safe only In the hands of a Jury , and It IB the duty of organized labor to create such a public sentiment as will restore to the people the privilege which the courts 'hive ' wrested from them that of trial by Jury. The convention adopted the following resolutions : By Owen Miller : Endorsing the bill be fore congress which prohibits the employ ment of enlisted soldiers of the army In competition with civilians In any capacity. By John Mitchell : Denouncing the shootIng - Ing down of the striking miners at VIrden , III. , by "tho armed guards of monopoly , " and endorsing the efforts of the United Mlno Workers of America to raise a fund for the relief of the families of the killed and wounded in the conflict. By George E. McNeil : Urging trade unionists - ists everywhere to work and agitate against . "the Inhuman practice of compelling men to labor seven days a week. " A pleasant feature of the day's proceed ings was tbo presentation , just before ad journment , of tokens of esteem to the fra ternal delegates sent to the convention by the British trades congress. To William Insklp , the convention presented a gold- headed cane and " "M ' ' to William Theme , a gold watch and chain. Ruan to New Mlulnir Camp. CANON CITY , Colo. , Dec. 17. The discov ery of gold five miles southwest of this rlty has caused a new town to spring up In a night , aa it were. Half of the able-bodied mun of tbU town have gone to the scene of the discovery , and over a thousand claims have been staked. Ths new camp has been named Dawson City , after B. X. Jlawson , who located a mineral vein from which he dug ore assaying over $16,000 gold to the ton. The main vein has bet'n triced flflcen miles. Some parties claim thnt It Is nn ex tension of the famous Bnsslc vein at Silver City. NOT SETTLED BY CONFERENCE iloth City nnd llnllromt * Are Still Wnlt In it on Auditor * nnil Attornc ) * , Thera was nothing accomplished at yes terday afternoon's conference between the city council committee nnd the representa tives of the Union Pacific nud the Burling ton railroads on the payment of $44,375.89 duo the city by these two railroad com- panlca for the maintenance nnd repairs of the city viaducts across their tracks. General Solicitor Kelly appeared for the Union Pacific and the Burlington was not represented. The former announced that the railroads hod not received the Itemized bills aggregating the above amount until December 16 and that there had been no tlmo to check over the accounts since then. He said General Solicitor Mandcrson of the B. & M. was In Washington and his assist ant , James E. Kclby , was confined to his house on account of Illness. Under these circumstances he asked for a postponement of the matter. This -was agreed to on the part of the city and the committee ad journed to meet at Mio call of Chairman Blngham. It Is understood that a meeting will bo called within ten days , as the rail road companies expect to have the account checked over by that time. Hnnl noon to KuiiNna City. D.

He will also have the southwestern agency of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railroad In Kansas City , which Is a moat Important position. He will succeed L. A. Etter at Kansas City , who has resigned on account of continued Ill-health. It Is not too much to say that no eastern freight man ever lelt Omaha with the esteem and goodwill that Mr. Hurd will carry away with him. During the three years , he has been In Omaha he has been prominently Identified with the Omaha club , the Commercial club and the Knights of Ak-Sar-Beu. He has been In every good movement for the city's welfare nnd has proved himself a loyal .Omahan , as well as a most energetic solicitor of freight traffic. Guy C.
