Jan. li.——Whether or not the session of the Connecticut branch of the American Federation of Labor should be open to the newspsu per men was a question which precip- itated a warm contest very' soon after the convention met in this city today. After much parliamentary skirmishing it was decided to admit writers for the press so that a fair and clear state ment of the proceedings might be given to the public. The convention was called to order by President Charles .I. Donahue, of Derby, shortly after 11 o'clock, after much preliminary work had been done. Mayor Henry Lee was introduced the city of many Industries, and he spoke at some length of the present Industrial situation in the city. He said he believed In harmony between labor and capital. neither could stand alone, and that for the success oi either or both. It was essential that all disputes should be arbitrated. He urged strongly ,the adoption of the policy of arbitration. He believed it to be fair that workingmen should organize for mutual protection and benefit. but to be effective such or ganisatlons should be popular. He referred to his own life as a factory employe and said that several at his predecessors had been factory. men and he felt sure the people had chu- fidence in them in calling them to the ohlce of may.or Preitident Donahue replied to the welcome, and the convention proceed- ed to business. The credentia com- mittee consisted of Joseph ltei ly, of New Haven; Thomas Crossley. of New Britain, and .l. .l, O'Neil of Bridgeport. It was shown that eighty delegates were present and entitled to seats A motion was made to have the session an open one. Timothy Flanagan. a delegate, op- posed the motion, and made an attack upon newspapers in general and upon the way newa of labor events is hunti- led. This brought a number of (lei - gates to their feet with protests an in direct opposition to Mr. Flanagan These latter believ‘l in an open ses- slon so the public would not lu- fills lnofrmed. A warm discussion follow- ed anti the motion to have a secret session was put and resulted 30 to 30. President Donahue said that dclc. gates were present and not voting and the question at issue, was too import- ant to go hy'without definite action He put the question again and the vote was 35 to 30 against. an open session. The minority began to use parlia- mentary tactics. A [Mnbury delegate got the floor and said tho convention was making a bad start. It would mean a black eye for labor as the fact would spread over the stale. and city that the Federation stood for so» crecy. The public might Interpret this as a conspiracy of'labor men. Hf" believed the laboring men Were t-n- titled to havelan accurate story of what the organization was doing. The Idea of a secret session and leaving all news to be given out by the press committee would result in prohibiting delegates from talking with newspa- per men. This ‘was a mistaken policy. A motion to table was lost, and a motion to reconsider was carried. The vote to have 'a secret session was then reversed, 43 to 16. Tile conven- tion then recessed. In the convention sitting as dole- gnics were Mrs. Ellen M. Foot. Miss Julia Moore and Miss Nellie Gallag- her, of Danbury. and Mrs. Belle Ill. Mitchell, of Bethel. The sergeant-at- arms is P. J. Riley. of this city, and John T’. Duly, of Bethel, was chosen to assist the secretary. l'pon the reassembliug oi the .li- ternoon session President Donahue made his annual address. President Donahue, in beginning his review of the year. said that ”K organisation has advanced greatly in public esteem. Existing relations with employers have been harmonious and pleasant and this condition. It is sincerely hoped. will continue. That there has been no concerted action to reduce wages during the industrial crisis speaks volumes for the influence He said that the wisdom of the attitude of labor in re- slsifng wage reductions in times of former depression is now conceded to be sound. Such reductions only tend to accentuate and not relieve distress. ing conditions. Since the last report the hafters' cases have been taken to the United States Court of Appeals and this court certified them to the Supreme Court before which they were argued and a decision is not yet (collared. The decision involves many phases of the right of boycott. also labors rights under the Sherman anti trust act. President Donahue- called attention to the continuance of a set of men preylng upon merchants and business men through advertising schemes. l-Ia .. 's Wnekl earned II II! “It.

Every possible ef- fort must be made to drive these fake solicitors from the state. Officers of the body have been im- pressed with the efforts of public spir- ited citizens to check the ravages of consumption, and they believe it to be the plain duty .of local organiza- tions, as well as state, to cooperate with the various associations having for their object the protection of the people from the ravages of the “white plague." President Donahue deplored the practice which he termed contempt- ible, oi an organisation which, after sending a delegate to the state con- ventlon and paying the per capita tax withdrew through some fancied grievance He advocated a constituv tional amendment to the effect that no delegate shall be eligible for office unless he is a member in good stand- ing of an organisation which has been in the federation for at least a year. Regarding legislation President Donahue said that no representative of labor has ever been treated. more courteously or received great consid- eration than himself as the agent of the federation at the last session. The treatment was in marked contrast” to that accorded the labor agent In some former general assemblies. After three successive failure a law providing for the registration of buttons, insignia. etc.. was passed. The. legislative committee cooperated ln securing the passage of a woman deputy factory inspector law. The law giving an eight-hour day for telegraph operators and train dispatchers, an not concern- ing labels and trade marks of labor unions, an act for the protection of workmen employed on buildings. an act concerning the establishment of free public schools for instruction In the principles and practices of trades. were referred to by President Donn hue us lndlruting thr- trend of logisln tion. The oplmsiilon to the trades school hill on the part of lnbor's representa' tin-s was based on the. belief theta great burden would be imposed upon t state. and that a boy cannot be taught a trade In these schools. The advocates of the trade school urged that it would tend to give mauufsc turnrs better help and they also ul- legcd that trade unions by restrictive apprenticeship laws, do not supply the norng demand for skillet! men. II the policy of the greatest good to the greatest number shall prevail. it does not appear that Connecticut has any crying need for trade schools. If the principle that the state shall main min those schools is a correct one. it should be carried to its logical end; that is, construct, maintain and equip schools wherein the higher ‘profesv alone may be taught as law, medicine, surgery, theology. in fact any pro- fession or calling Make them free schools for the Connecticut boy to simply cheese his calling. and the state will do the rest. Why should the schools be restricted to a few trades? President Donahue referred to the employers' liability act. which pro vided for a committee of inquiry. on which the federation lo represented by its president. He said that no bill for a law could be presented at the last session. No state in the union has a satisfactory employers' liability law. with the possible excepiio of Colorado, where the fellow se vant rule has beenanullifled by statute. lin- der present conditions this could not be accomplished In this state. After referring to the passage of a trial by jury bill and the non-passage of an eight hour bill. President Dona- hue concluded with an expression of gratefulness to the assistance given him in office, and the expression the hope that the federation continue to forge forward.

Dr..lohn physicians, was the first witness call ed to the stand.- Ills home Is at Kit: tsnlns. Pa. .Dr. Deemar testified at the first trial that he treated Harry Thaw as a boy for St. Vltus' dance and measles. He repeated this testimony today and told also of attendingmombers of the Copley family—the mother's branch of the defendant’s antecedents. Dr. Dee- msr said that Henry W. Copley. a brother of the older Mrs. Thaw, died an imbecile. I Dr. Charles D. Wagner. of Blngham ton. N.

Dcemar was naked as to the present mental condition and where- abouts of John Ross, a, maternal cou- torney Jerome blocked the testimony, on the ground that the doctor obtained his information while acting in a pro- fessional capacity. Justice Dowling sustained the objection over the pro- test of Mr. thtloion, of the defense, who declared it did not lie in the power of the prosecuting oilloer to raise such an objection. 'On cross-examination Mr. Jerome drew out the fact that Henry Copley, while lncapuitated for mental wort, was never confined. Dr. William W. 8. Butler. of Bonn- oke, Va, former assistant physician at the Western Lunatic Asylum. Stauw ton. Vs., where Horace B Thaw.l paternal cousin of Harry Thaw was confined, was the nest witness. When Dr. Butler was naked as to Horace Thaw'a condition up to the time of his death, Mr. Jeromq again objected on the ground of ‘ confiden- tial relation between physician and patient. and was sustained He also successfully objected to the Introduo tion in evidence of the commitment papers prepared when Horace Thaw was admitted to the asylum on the ground that they were hearsay. Mr. Littleton took an exception to both rulings. ’ Dr. Littlebu lrg . Poster, of Norfolk. \’.,a formerly of the Eastern State Hospital for the Insane at Williams- hurg, Va, where William S. Thaw, another cousin of the defendant, was confined, next was called to the stand. llr. Foster was asked to identify the records of the asylum as to the admittance of William '8. Thaw. and did so. When the record was offered in evidence, Mr. Cerome objected on the ground that It was not competent testimony, and was sustained. Mr. lAttlcton here recalled Dr. Dee- mar and succeeded in circumventing the former objections of the district attorney as to John Ross. Dr Dee- mar said he ceased to be Ross' phy- sician after the latter was cmnmitted to the Hope Institution for the Peeble Minded, where be In still a patient.

"Harry Thaw always had a nervous gait and walked jerkily," he said. "His eyes were striking, his complexion anaemic. His manner in the class room was abstracted and Indifferent. His eyes usually had a fixed staring Mr. Koehler said he sat down many. of Thaw's cccentrleltles in a dis”. which was destroyed ten years ago. Thaw's mind always worked slowly and he had great difficulty In following any demonstration-his manner was (‘rossexamlned by Mr. Jerome, Mr. Koehler said 200 boys cam under his care at Wooster and since that time as a teacher he had been thrown in contact with 1,500 boys or more. The witness insisted. however, that the memory of Thaw—a pale-faced twitchv lug lode—stood out above the others. When Jerome asked If the witness had carried Thaw along in his mind as "a horrible example," Mr. Little- ion objected and was sustained by the court.
