STEAM DUMPS
CAUSE TROUBLE
General Strike Imminent
and All May Be Out
by Wednesday.
Pittaburg, Pi, Mar 91.—President
Feehnn, of the Pltteburg district of
United Wine Workers, today ordered
out all the miners at the mines where
the steam dump Is In operation.
Six thousand men will quit work this
evening and will remain out until fur-
ther orders from district headquarters. * The court room was Ailed with spec-
eault with Intent to murder, had been
Introduced.
The defense took an unexpected tack
Friday morning and Introduced no evl-
4MM akcspt tbs statement of Prod
Bush. A number of character wit
nesses had been summoned, but none
was called to the stand.
At the conclusion of the evidence.
Solicitor Hill announced that there
would only be one speech for the state.
"There will be two for tho defense,"
said Attorney Rosser,
Attorney Thomas B. Goodwin opened
for the defense.
Mr. Goodwin made a severe attack
upon the newspapers and criticised the
manner In which the Hush story has
been handled.
"The newspapen have declared that
thle negro boy Identified Bush at tho
police station," said he, "and there was
not a word of truth In It.
"They have charged unnatural rela
tions between Bueh and Doolittle and
they have fell down on It, for there
hasn't been a word of evidence
prove It."
Judge Roan Interrupted Mr. Goodwin
during his attack upon tha newspapers.
"You can't bring the newspapers Into
this case," sold Judge Roan, "became
they haven't been Introduced as evl
dence. What they said about It Is not
Involved In this case at all.”
Mr. Goodwin then began arguing the
evidence In the case.
Interest Grows Intense.
Promptly at * o'clock Friday morn
ing the tjlal of Fred Bush was
aumed In the criminal division of the
euperlor court
If the operators refuse at the confer
ence this afternoon to remove the
dumps at once a general strike will be
declared and by Wednesday of next
week between 30,000 and 40,000 men
will go out on atrlkl.
The steam dump Is used by seven
of the coal companies In the Pittsburg
district at nineteen mines. Operations
at these mines cease this evening. A
conference will be held this afternoon.
President Feehan said this morning:
*1 have been Instructed by the execu
tive board to Inform the operators that
UPless tha steam dumps are removed at
once a general strike will go Into effect
the middle of next week. The steam
dumps mean a reduction of 17 per cent
' In the earnlnga of tha miners. ,
CAPITALISTS PLOT
TO SWAT JUSTICE
IN SAN FRANCISCO
San Francisco, May 31.—Assistant
District Attorney Francis J. Heney
gave out a statement late last night
reviewing the local graft situation In
which he scores bankets, merchants
and other men of Influence with avow,
edly seeking a miscarriage of justice
In the prosecution of the men "higher
up” who have been caught In tha drag
net of the startling exposures of bribery
and graft In thla city.
Ha charges the banks with plotting
to aave President Patrick Calhoun, of
tho United Railroads, and says that the
committee of seven, recently appointed
to co-operate with the prosecution to
aiiumo charge of the city's welfare,
was part of a policy of fraud and
hypocrisy Inspired by rich men now
, Under Indictment.
Won't Permit Conviction,
•The representatives of nearly all
tha banka In tha city mat In conference
with Mr. Patrick Calhoun a short time
ago end pledged him their support In
form they limited their promisee of
assistance to hla fight against union
1 abort Probably; however, soma of
these bankers Immediately proceeded
’ to hint to their patrons that the Indict
ment of Mr. Calhoun would be detri
mental to the financial Interests of tha
city. Members of tha grand Jury were
talked to by bankers and merchants
alone the** 11m*.
"One highly res potable merchant de
clared today that The merchants will
not permit Mr. Calhoun to be convict
ed.'
"The movement to appoint a commit
tee of seven to co-operate with Mr.
Sprecklea and myself was a part of the
policy of fraud and hypocriay. It was
Inspired by these same rich men who
are now under Indictment and by their
friends. It was done for political pur-
poaee. There was a plot to destroy the
usefulness and afllclancy of the present
prosecuting officers and to prevent thla
community from securing the full ben
efit of our work. Moreover the present
movement for another committee to
take charge of the city Is Inspired by
these same schemers."
tators, and the crowd was much larger
than on Thursday, when great Inter
est was manifested In the testimony
delivered by Mrs. Julia McCarthy, her
daughter, Miss Kathryn McCarthy, and
Charlie V. Doolittle, the trio most db
rectly Interested In the case.
Fred Bush, Sr., father of the prison
er, waa In court early, and sat at the
table near the attorneys for the de
fense. Ho was Joined later by Mrs.
A. B. Morgan, sister of Fred Bush,
who waa In court Thuriday and re
mained throughout the trial of the
case.
Bush sat In the rear of Attorneys
Rosser and Goodwin, and closely
watched the progress of the trial,
John Ballinger, the negro messenger
boy w*ho 'received the Infernal ma
chine for delivery from some party at
No. 1 Forsyth street, nti the first wtt,
ness placed on the stand Friday morn
Ing.
When asked If he could Identify Fred
Bush as the mnn who gars him the
packnge Ballinger replied that he "be
lieved he waa the man,” but would
not say positively.
Attorney Rosser vigorously < .
to the Introduction of such testimony,
and a lengthy argument ensued with
Solicitor Illlt.
Solicitor Hill tried to show by the
witness that he had Identified Bush as
the man who gave him the package on
the night Bush was arrested.
"I object," said Mr. Rosser. "If he
can Identify him now, he can do It,
but he can't testify to something he haa
done before.”
Judge Roan held that If the witness
pointed oqt Bush and Identified him In
the presence of Bush, then the testl
mony would be competent..
Ballinger stated that he pointed out
Bush to the officers and said ha be-
Iteved he waa the man.
Ntgro Not Po4itlve.
On cross-examination ha admitted
that he waa not poaltlva In hla Identi
fication, and that all he could aay waa
that the man who gave him the pack
age w : ae a low' tnnn, who wore a whlta
bat. He stated that he had been -In
jail since the preliminary trial In the
recorder’s court.
Edward McGill, the messenger boy
who delivered the Infernal machine to
the McCarthy home, was the eecond
witness put on the stand.
At this point Solicitor Hill announced
that he would Introduce the fragments
of the dynamite box and tho Plata! as
evidence and rest for the state.
After a short conference with their
client. Attorneys Rosser and Goodwin
told Bush to take the stand and make
his statement.
Bush on Stand.
Bush staled that he hod known Char
lie Doolittle about eight years, and that
they went Into buatnesa together a short
while after he became acquainted with
him.
"The McCarthys and I and Doolittle's
family have always been good .friends.
Some tlma ago Doolittle went to Flori
da because he waa lick and In bad
haalth generally. Ha waa not getting
along well and I went to see him. While
I was there he wrote the letter to
Miss McCarthy breaking off tha an-
S agement. I had nothing whatever to
o with It.
“I have never objected to him going
with the girl, except In a business way.
Ha went to see her two or three nights
of a week and talked to her over the
'phone every morning at the bualeat
time. I had to do all the work and
wanted him to help.

POSTUM
"There's a Reason.”
After hearing all the evidence In the
Investigation of Water Commissioner
Thomas F. Stocks Thursday afternoon,
the water board went Into executive
session and there proceeded to shift
the responsibility of the entire matter
from its shoulders to those of council.
The board was to have made up a
verdict In this secret session, but It re
qulred only about ten minutes behind
closed doors before the happy Inspire
tlon to refer the Investigation to coun
ell arrived.
r. Brown, president of the Rag
land Cotkl Company, of Ragland, Ala.,
on whose letters were based the charge
that Commissioner Stocks had been In
terested In a business way with the coal
contract for the waterworks depart
ment, was the star wttntss.
Mr. Brdwn testified In substance that,
he and Thomas F. Stocks, the latter
representing the Stocks Coal Company,
had reached an agreement In regard to
the bids for the city coal; that Stocks
was to put In.the bid at 32.35 and sign
the Ragland Coal Company's name;
that Stocks wanted to make the bid
higher, but Brown would not consent;
that Stocks had mad* It at 32.3k any
way; that the Ragland Coal Company
would furnish the coal to the Stocks
Coat Company for 32.23 and would bill
It'to the city at $2.39; that the Ragland
Cool Company made this agreement
with Mr. Slocks; of ths Stocks Coal
Company,: with the consideration that,
whenever the Ragland mines went
wrong,apd the coal could not be fur
nished, then the Stocks Coal Company
would do so at ths contract price.
Hsd Paid Rebate*.
President Brown said the Stocks
Coal Company had not received any of
the rebate this year, because the com
pany had not lived up to the contract,
but that. If the compuny had done what
Mr. Stock* agreed upon, the rebate
would have . been, paid. He said the
rebate hod been paid In previous year*
Attorney Reuben Arnold, represent
ing tOrmmlaaloner Stocks, called Frank
M. Stocks, president of the Stocks Coal
Company, and father of the commit
sloner, to the stand.
In response to questions, he said he
was the sole owner of the Stocks Coal
Company; that his son, .Thomas F.
Stocks, the water commissioner, was o
paid employee without a cent of stock
In the company; that his son had never
received a nickel of the rebate* paid
Ihe company by the Ragland; that the
agreement between the Stocks Coal
Company and the Ragland was that the
latter would pay 3 cent* a ton as a
consideration of the former not bid
ding; that the Stocks Coal Company
had previously furnished coal to the
city openly, and that, a* he had no
official connection with the city, he had
a perfect right to do so.
Stocks Makes Statement.
Commissioner Stocks was called and
he testified that he had never received
any commletlon; that he was only an
employee of the Stocks Coal Company;
that. In submitting the bid of the Rag
land Coal ftompany, ho thought he was
doing President Brown a favor; that
he understood that 12.33 was the price
Brown wished to bid, and not $2.35, as
he had stated; that he would not stoop
to accept a commission, with his offi
cial position, and that he defied any
man to offer one to him.
Attorney Arnold Insisted that It was
not the province of the hoard to try a
man on ethics, but on lew, and that.
Inasmuch as Mr. Stocks had violated no
law, not being Interested except as an
employee In tbs Stocks Coal Company,
the board bad nothing to do but find
his client Innocent of the charge.
President Brown left for his home In
Alabama after the Investigation. It Is
now up to council to hold the Investi
gation at the next session, unless It la
shifted back on the board.
A stenographic report of the Inves
tigation was made and will be turned
over to council.

Rate Regulation. ’
<5n-the question of railroad ■ regula
tion, In. hla speech yesterday, Mr. Bry
an sold':
"What Is the effect of our new rote
law. which is so hard to get? There
are two effects so far. One Is It stop
ped rebates; that' I* good; but what
was the pecuniary effect? Why, the
railroads keep the money they paid
to. the favored shippers; that Is, the
railroads got more money out-of them.
What wag the other effect? It stopped
passes. What did that do? It gave
tho railroads the. money'that’the fel
lows used-to save that rode on-passes
So far we have Increased the revenues
of tho railroads and that id all that law
haa done thus.for; and when the pa
rlous states said, 'Well, now that we
have given yqu this advantage by stop
ping rebates and passes, wo will
dues' passenger rates and make you
divide with the people,’ pnd In some
of the states they have reduced the
passenger rates, the railroads In some
cases are so ungrateful for what has
been given them that they go Into the
court* to try to keep the people from
having the benefit of the 2-cent rate
law. .
’All over this land we have seen this
struggle between the people and tpe
corporations, and we see It In this
country today on the railroad question.
In 1896 the Democratic platform de
clared for railroad regulation. It did
so In 1900; It did so In 1904, but, my
friends, aften ten years of effort on our
part, wo had to wait until a Republi
can president had to take the lead on
the subject, and then he had tho fight
of his life to get hi* bill through the
senate or the house.”
Discusses Candidate.
Referring to Mr.' Lassiter's reference
to Senator Daniel for the presidency,
Mr. Bryan said:
"I don't know whether my good
friend expected me to uso this occa
sion to Join In the nomination of the
candidate, for president or not. I will
say thl%»that I Join with him In the
admiration he has expressed for Vir
ginia's son and statesman. And I have
said time and time again that sections
should not control the selection of our
candidates. In fact, two and a half
ears ago, at St. Louis, I seconded the
nomination of a man from Missouri, an
ex-Confederate soldier, when Virginia
voted for a New York man. And I
have Insisted that time has come when
the Democracy of tho union should
take in the whole union and tha* Its
selection should be made without re
gard to the state In which a man lives.
I appreciate the fact that a majority
of our electoral votes come from the
South, but I don't want the people of
